Chapter 606: Chapter 606: DIE-HARD FAN
Why did he even assume that it would automatically be Wulfric? Just because he's too active in [Cyberspace] as his fan? Or that because the other was in love with him? Amidst all that, he had forgotten the most important thing. That Wulfric was a general of the Empire.
No matter how active he was on the social platform [Cyberspace], there was no way he could have the time to be the president of a fan club. Although it's not a formal job with pay, it's almost similar to a part-time job, requiring a significant time commitment. The person involved must spend a lot of their time to fulfill this role. Time that Wulfric obviously didn't have.
If he had been his usual logical self, he would have easily realized that. Missing such an obvious detail showed just how inflated his ego had become. In his defense, having the only prince of the Empire fall for him could be a significant ego booster.
"I heard from the PR team that they asked your self-proclaimed number one fan if he wanted to be the fan club president. Considering how active he is on [Cyberspace], always defending you and such, I also thought he would accept. But it seems this White Wolf is a very busy individual. He responded that he wanted to do it but couldn't because of his job, or so he says."
Hearing that, Astrid felt even more embarrassed. He shook his head, thinking of how silly he was, fully believing that Wulfric would take on that role.
Should he say it's a good thing that Wulfric didn't know that he knew about him being 'White Wolf'? If the other knew he was aware of his 'online persona', the conversation about the fan club president would definitely come up. And then he would just embarrass himself because of his presumptuousness.
Astrid decided to just put that away for now, and asked, "So, how did the PR team pick this Samuel Lewis as the fan club president?"
"They actually had four options after White Wolf. One of them was Samuel Lewis. Since they couldn't decide, they made a poll on you fan website. And Samuel Lewis won by a landslide."

Astrid tilted his head. "If he's so popular among the fans, why haven't I heard of him?"
"I thought that too at first. But then I found out that he's a new Starlight," Ellis said. "I think the reason he was voted the most was because of his video edits of you. Many people have seen and reposted them. And they really are pretty well made. Like a work of a professional.
You should see one and you will immediately understand."
Astrid nodded, understanding a bit. Anyway, since the president of his fan club had already been chosen, he should at least recognize the other, right?
"What's his handle name on [Cyberspace]?" he asked Ellis.
"It's... @muscledbubblegum." Ellis said that with a straight face, but anyone could tell that she'd rather not say it.
Well, it was quite indeed an unusual handle name.
So, while the car was travelling to the Polaris' building, he opened his Terminal and searched for Samuel Lewis on [Cyberspace]. Arriving at the other's profile page, the first thing he saw was the pinned post.
