Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 983 - 96: A Gift from "Southern October Star"_2

At the end of the book pages were the names and corporate logos of those who sponsored this piano. Among them were prominent figures from the Southern Star Domain and well-known local giant enterprises, some names even seemed unfamiliar to Tilan.

"Who are these?" she curiously asked the maid beside her.

"The 27 companies that signed are all well-known giant enterprises in the Southern Starfield, with their industrial focus mostly there. Additionally, the names listed separately in the front are mostly notable figures from the Southern Starfield. Some are masters of the Transcendent Faction, others are local business union chairmen, and some are prominent figures in the religious realm."

Among these names, the most familiar to Tilan was Lady Lian Xin, followed by Mr. Songxue of the 'Federal Artists Association', as she had met both during her time at Edith Academy.

"Besides the gift, did they say anything else?" Tilan pondered.

"No."

"Okay, I understand." Tilan sat in front of the piano and tried to play.

A simple melody danced from her fingertips, the sound of the piano soothing and clear, like fairies passing through the forest.

A few minutes later, Tilan stopped, picked up the gift book placed beside her again, and flipped through it. There was no denying that they must have put a lot of thought into it, even the pair of thin booklets in her hand was exceptionally exquisite.

At the end, Tilan's gaze paused on the corporate logos, her thoughts wandering.

Perhaps it was the support and goodwill triggered by the incident with Blanchi.

Due to Blanchi's assassination attempt, the social emotions of the Northwestern Star Domain were ignited, with various marches and protests that overwhelmed the Federal Central Council and brought attention to the enormous political power hidden within the new generation of songstresses.

Previously, although Blanchi's identity was somewhat special, it was not enough to draw excessive attention. After all, she had not been a songstress for long, and in the same circle of songstresses, she was quite average, not extraordinary or outstanding. However, this incident really made people realize the extremely special nature of her identity.

If, by any chance, hypothetically, she had died in the attack that day, the high officials of the Central Council did not dare to imagine what kind of extreme emotions would erupt within the Northwestern Star Domain. Even though they had the capability to suppress it militarily, it would mean a significant decline in control over the Northwestern Star Domain, and they would have to be prepared for decades of dealing with unexpected incidents. This would undoubtedly consume a large amount of manpower, material resources, and energy, and weaken the authority and legitimacy of the Central Council.

Understanding this point, it became easy to comprehend the current attention from all sides on the new generation of songstresses.

Putting down the pages, Tilan glanced at the still bright sunshine outside, pondering whether to read a book or take a walk in the yard, since she didn't have any classes recently, a rare chance to relax.

After a bit of contemplation, she chose to take a walk and enjoy the sun.

...

The next day, in the morning.

Riding a specially made hover car, Tilan arrived at the safety command building on one side of the campus, where military police of the Federal Official were stationed year-round, along with an office of the Court of Judgment.

Upon arrival, before Tilan even got out, a row of soldiers clad in gray-green exoskeleton armor were already standing on each side of the road leading to the building. Their stern demeanor looked more like they were transferred from a hot war zone than the troops stationed in the central area year-round.

Under the protection of four patrol officers in dark blue uniforms, Tilan entered the building, then an elevator, gradually reaching the designated conference hall.

The space here was not large, with hundreds of black chairs arranged in a fan shape facing the central screen and podium. When Tilan came in, there were already two songstresses there.

Prin and Audrey sat on opposite sides of the fan shape, symmetrical but not close. Tilan thought for a moment and chose the side near Audrey, but as she came in, she first greeted Prin.

Shortly after sitting down, Ores and Shui Yanqing also arrived. Then, after another ten minutes, Blanchi and a man with short black hair entered together.

After entering, he first politely helped Blanchi find a seat, then proceeded to the podium.

"Greetings to all the songstresses. I am the new head of the Songstress Surveillance Department of the Court of Judgment, Xian Ke. From now on, I will also be responsible for your safety matters." This man was very efficient, wasting no time.

"About the incident not long ago, I assume you songstresses are already aware. I deeply apologize because the oversight of my predecessor caused you fright and panic."

"From now on, I will adjust past strategies to protect your daily travel and life in a safer manner..." Following this, he clapped his hands lightly, and a staff member entered the conference room, placing a metal briefcase on the table.

"It must be said that the protective equipment Blanchi carried with her played a significant role in her survival. To continue highlighting this advantage, I specifically applied for funds to equip you songstresses with new protective equipment."

"The first item is the 'Golden Rabbit Pocket Watch' contributed by the famous giant enterprise 'Alice's Pocket Watch Maker'." With that, he took out an exquisitely crafted pocket watch from the silver metal box.

Its casing was composed of gold and silver metal, the front adorned with a gorgeous gemstone lens that displayed the rotating hands inside. The outer edge was encircled by a rose vine pattern, and on the back of the pocket watch was engraved a rabbit adorned with a flowered hat motif.
