Facade

The support for Hera surged rapidly, leaving Cindy far behind in the Belle ranking in just one day. With that, Hera firmlysecured the top spot among all female students in the academy 

andy felt a mix of jealousy and frustration when she saw herself lagging behind Hera by over a thousand votes. She was especially frustrated as she watched Lily still campaigning 

for Hera after class. 

cindy couldn’t deny Hera’s beauty but believed her own abilities surpassed hers. Even if Lily helped Hera secure a spot in the top ten, could she compete in the final speech showdown? 

Cindy saw Hera as nothing more than a pretty face. She felt that Hera wasn’t suited to compete with her 

She was firmlyconvinced that she would emerge as the academy’s Belle at the celebration. 

That evening, Katie was shocked to find Hera leading the polls. Fearing foul play, she urgently pleaded on the forum for people not to vote for Her. 

However, her plea backfired as those who hadn’t considered voting for Hera before were captivated by her beauty and decided to vote for her. 

Despite Katie’s efforts, Hera’s ranking remained unchanged the next morning. Her votes had even increased. Katie couldn’t help but marvel at Hera’s stunning beauty, 

Zyler entered the classroom and immediately launched the academy forum to check the voting results. 

He had never cared much about such matters because the Hunk title always went to either him or Christopher. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Zyler’s and Christopher’s rankings were always neck and neck across the years. Ultimately, whoever gamered more admirers during the crucial voting period won the title 

Their relationship had always been good, and they didn’t let the competition for the academy’s Hunk title affect their friendship. So, neither of them cared too much about who 

held it 

But Zyler overheard many classmates discussing the voting that day and Hera’s name was frequently mentioned. He became curious about the events that were unfolding 

Opening the “Academy Belle and Hunk” section of the forum, he was surprised to see Hera ranked first among the female students. 

The photo accompanying her profile was a candid shot of her sitting at her desk. She was resting her chin on her hand, eyes lowered as she played with her phone. Her delicate features, elegant contours, and smooth, flawless skin combined gave her a breathtakingly beautiful appearance. 

Zyler’s first thought when he saw Hera’s photo was that she must have entered the competition because she wanted to perform with him at the academy’s anniversary. celebration. 

He understood that the feelings one had for someone couldn’t simply be brushed aside, as he himself had experienced with Giselle 

Despite being angry at her for deceiving him, he still found himself thinking of her from time to time: 

Therefore, Zyler believed that Hera still harbored feelings for him, although she was involved with Douglas. 

Zyler felt a hint of satisfaction at that thought. He even speculated that Hera might be trying to grab Douglas‘ attention just to make him jealous 

Suddenly, he noticed that Christopher was ranked first among the male students.Zyler’s vote count had unexpectedly dropped by 50 votes. 

He couldn’t understand why someone without credentials like Hera could be at the top. As the heir of the Gaskell family and a piano prodigy with great manners, he felt he deserved first place 

In a fit of anger, he cast a vote for himself. 

The voting rules allowed each male and female student one vote. After casting his vote, Zyler turned to Christopher, who was sitting behind him. 

“Chris, did you vote on the forum in the Belle and Hunk election?” Zyler asked 

Christopher, immersed in his test papers, didn’t even look up 

“No. I’d rather spend my time brushing up on some more questions than waste it on that sort of thing.” 

“Well then, how about you let me use your account to vote?” Zyler suggested.
