“Miss Jade Fox! Miss Jade Fox!”
As Becky stepped onto the stage, the commoners below all shouted loudly.
The excitement in the air was just a notch below Velis’s preaching scene.
This sight made Ofilia and the others quite puzzled.
“Mas… Master, when did she… she…?”
The blonde girl asked in a tone of disbelief.
Ofilia knew Velis must be aware, since Becky’s daily life was always managed by Velis.
If she appeared here, then it had to be Velis’s doing!
Not to mention such a big stage!
There were also City Defense Army maintaining order around.
“It started the night before yesterday. This child has been working so hard…”
Thinking of Becky’s determined face as she said [I will never betray Her Highness’s trust], she felt a bit moved.
“I just didn’t expect the effect to be this good.”
Velis smiled mysteriously.
That proud expression seemed to say [All of this is the result of this Imperial Princess!]
“What are you even talking about?”
Ofilia had always stayed at the City Lord’s Mansion, so she didn’t know what was happening outside.
At this moment, Anne, who knew some of the inside story, proudly raised her chin.
“Hmph, you didn’t know, did you?”
That look of [I’m more trusted by Her Highness than you] made Ofilia feel strangely upset.
At this time, as Becky took the stage, several musicians holding instruments also walked up.
From piccolo, recorder, melodica, to trumpet, snare drum, bass drum, various percussion instruments, wooden guitar…
A total of about twenty musicians sat at the front of the stage.
At the same time, Becky spoke.
“Thank you all for coming to listen to my unworthy singing. Jade Fox is truly grateful!”
Becky bowed deeply to the crowd.
All the commoners applauded.
“This song was written by Lord, that is, the Second Princess, for everyone.”
“Her Highness hopes that everyone will not fear difficulties or obstacles, to follow her footsteps, and build a more prosperous Ushi City and a better future!”
“Long live Her Highness! Long live the Lord!”
For a moment, the entire square once again resounded with shouts for Velis.
Then, Becky, wearing a mask, spoke again.
“I, Jade Fox, was originally a timid and introverted person. If not for this mask and Her Highness’s support…”
“I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have the courage to speak in front of people…”
“So I am very grateful for Her Highness’s trust, and also very thankful that all of you have come to like me so much in just two days…”
“It is because of you and Her Highness that Jade Fox found the courage and resolve to sing out loud!”
“Now, please enjoy my humble singing.”
Velis applauded for her from below the stage, and everyone in the square looked at Becky with anticipation.
As the musicians began to play, a melodious tune started to flow.
“Gently awaken the sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes…”
“Look at the busy world, is it still~ spinning alone endlessly…”
Becky’s singing unconsciously blended with healing magic.
So with just the first note, almost everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.
As a current swept through their bodies, everything around them fell silent.
People stared intently at Becky on the stage, relaxing their minds and bodies as they enjoyed her voice!
Savoring the charm and resonance brought by the lyrics!
Enjoying the song that could heal all, washing away their restless and trembling souls!
“Let true feelings melt into notes, pouring out distant blessings~
Sing out your passion, reach out your hands, let me embrace your dream!”
As the song reached its first small climax, many people hummed softly along with the melody.
Even if they couldn’t sing, the emotion drawn out by Becky was the purest driving force!
“Let the sound played by the breeze compose the symphony of life…”
“Let me have your sincere face! Let our smiles… be filled with the pride of youth~~! Let us hope that tomorrow will be better!!”
Yes, tomorrow will be better!
Under the leadership of the Lord who had reclaimed the position of Imperial Princess, they believed, they had faith!
Tomorrow will be better!
When the song ended, everyone’s eyes were moist.
This song was more than just a song!
It carried their hopes for the past, the present, and the future!
Thinking of their own situations, it was hard not to cry!
Even Anne and Ofilia had red-rimmed eyes.
Victoria rarely sniffled, and asked softly,
“Your Highness, you can even compose songs?”
Could Velis say this was something every transmigrator must plagiarize~?
Obviously not.
So she could only shamelessly reply,
“Mm, it’s still not perfect. The melody in my heart hasn’t been completely reproduced yet!”
After all, she wasn’t a professional. She could only hum the melody to Becky, who then communicated it to the musicians.
Come to think of it, after Registration and Census, finding so many talented musicians wasn’t easy.
Fortunately, though not perfectly restored, it was at least seventy to eighty percent similar.
The twenty musicians who helped develop, modify, and refine Velis’s melody were rare talents.
“What? This still isn’t the most perfect version in Your Highness’s heart?”
Victoria’s surprise made Velis quite satisfied.
“Mas… Master, why… why did you let her do this kind of thing?”
Ofilia came back to her senses, her face showing a [beloved toy stolen] kind of sadness and loss.
Velis pretended not to notice, and explained quietly.
“First, I discovered there are no famous songstresses in the Empire yet, so it’s a good way to make money.”
“Second, it’s to enrich people’s spiritual lives and train Becky.”
“Third, I can use this to promote the things I want to promote. When Becky’s fame spreads throughout the Empire and even the world, she and her followers will become a force to be reckoned with.”
Velis only said these three points simply, but everyone could already foresee the influence Velis wanted to convey through Becky.
“Your Highness, this song was written by you? It’s so… so talented, so beautiful, so likable!?”
But the next second, Anne turned the conversation excitedly,
“Can you teach me when we get back?”
Hearing this, Velis smiled,
“Of course. Come to my room tonight, and I’ll tutor you personally.”
Anne nodded excitedly, suspecting nothing.
Ofilia wanted to say something, but in the end, she only pouted angrily and said nothing.
When the song ended, cheers for an encore exploded from the crowd.
Becky, wearing the Jade Fox mask, spoke somewhat nervously.
“Thank you all for liking it. There’s another song written by Her Highness, but I haven’t practiced it well yet…”
“If everyone wants to hear it, then Jade Fox will do her best.”
Becky bowed again, then nodded to the musicians behind her.
Soon, another melody began to play.
“Each time, I grow stronger in the midst of suffering…”
Invisible Wings
Velis had slightly modified the lyrics.
Though she felt it differed from the original version, it fit Ushi City perfectly.
And Becky’s singing, as always, did not disappoint.
Even though she said she hadn’t practiced well, it sounded like music from heaven to everyone else, resonating in countless hearts!
The last song to follow was , whose melody the musicians hadn’t finished arranging yet.
Becky sang it a cappella, and it was still a deeply moving tune.
Though it lacked background music, it was still a song that stirred people’s hearts.
“Alright, let’s go. Time to get down to business.”
A short time later, Velis left with the girls.
An hour later, they reached the southwest corner of Ushi City.
That was the Smelting Workshop District near the south gate.
