Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 682 - 291 The Solitary Girl in the Moonlight_3
"Hexia Tilan!"
"Hexia Tilan!"
"Hexia Tilan!"
The cheering was incessant, and the scene of the girl standing quietly in the moonlight was captured on camera, becoming the headline of major media outlets within the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, as well as a topic of reports in countless Star Domains within the Federation.

"Little Tilan has grown up so fast,"
Seated on one side of the viewing stand at the venue, Prin cradled her fiery red guitar, gently strumming—not performing, just expressing her emotions through the guitar at will.
The shy and nervous girl who wore a maid's dress, helping and working hard in that deep Underground City three years ago, had now grown into an existence that she looked up to and envied.
Though she was not far behind Tilan in terms of being a Songstress, in other respects, she was far from matching the black-haired, blue-eyed girl; the blue butterfly of the past night had, in a trance, become the brilliant full moon in the night sky.
"You've played a part in this, too, Prin," a familiar voice spoke up behind Prin, followed by a pair of hands lightly pressing on Prin's shoulders.
"Yulanduoja sister?"
Prin turned around in surprise to look at the mature big sister with emerald hair behind her. As a Songstress known as 'Emerald Serpent' Yulanduoja, she had retired many years ago, long absent from cameras and screens, but here she was at the Winter Festival contest. Prin was aware that her every move in the viewing stand was being watched by a camera, and now with Yulanduoja sister appearing, did it mean...

As Prin pondered the implications, Yulanduoja leaned in and whispered in her ear.
"Could I ask for your help with something, Prin?"
"What kind of help? As long it's not too preposterous, I can agree," said Prin. For her, Yulanduoja was like her guide, having taught her much of her knowledge and experience about being a Songstress.
"I want to invite you to go on stage at the end of this Winter Festival contest and sing a song together with me and Tilan, the three of us," Yulanduoja said slowly, sitting down beside Prin, unconcerned that the floating Autonomous Unit in the distance had already turned its camera toward them.
"What do you mean, Yulanduoja sister?" Prin had some ideas and speculations.
For a Songstress to perform on stage together in such a formal occasion, it couldn't just be for show; the move carried extremely profound political significance and impact.
Prin was now the core of Swarm's Reign Academy, and her actions could generally represent the will of the Swarm's Reign faction. As the second-ranked academy in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, the group behind Swarm's Reign Academy was not weak. Apart from Saint Yingo, it was the largest power bloc; these consortiums mostly came from the prosperous Central Star Domain. However, they had no ties with the Elves and were groups of human and pan-human sub-species from the Federal Central Star Domain.
Although these group powers weren't as tightly knit as Saint Yingo, appearing somewhat loose, it didn't mean they lacked influence. In fact, it could be said that they were the largest faction group in the Federation. It was because they were too broad that they rarely united closely.
"If Yulanduoja sister takes the stage too..." Prin recalled the past about the 'Emerald Serpent' Songstress in her mind.
Although Yulanduoja felt she had disappointed the elder statemen, in the past, the only Songstress in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain had attracted numerous forces to her side. For the older generation, although the 'Emerald Serpent' Yulanduoja was quite rebellious, she was also part of many people's memories, the wild imaginings of their youth, the vanished vigor of countless youths.
"I can try to convince everyone at Swarm's Reign Academy and then join the performance on stage," said Prin, seemingly making a certain decision as she accepted Yulanduoja's proposal.
"You don't have to force yourself, little Prin." Two hands gently wrapped around Prin's neck, leaning in close to the green young Songstress.
"Lady Isabella has already negotiated with Swarm's Reign Academy. I was just worried you wouldn't want to," Yulanduoja said as she pinched Prin's cheek and then planted a light kiss, making the young girl blush deeply.
"Mmm-mm-hmm... Hmph, I'm not going to pay attention to Yulanduoja sister anymore," Prin broke free from Yulanduoja's arms, stamping her foot with some embarrassment. Though she was usually lively and cheerful, she still found it hard to stand her ground in front of this mature Songstress.
Watching Prin's reaction, Yulanduoja couldn't help but laugh, then she turned her gaze to the slowly descending girl in the sky.
"You too, Tilan, have grown to a point where I have to look up to you..."
This unintentional glance and gesture, accompanied by the young Prin stamping her foot in shyness next to her, was captured by the camera and ultimately frozen in the shot.
