Zilian yawned. The designers nowadays lack imagination. The fashion industry now leans more on commercialization and their capability is shackled by practicality and mass production. Next year he would definitely turn down the invitation for being a judge. He actually wanted to walk out by this time if only his sister can stop throwing deathly glares.
"Mr. Zilian shouldn't show such uninterested face. What if our designers got discourage" the judge by his side can't help but comment seeing how bored he is.
"It would be great if my reaction can stop them from designing. Such disgraceful designs, can't believe that it was allowed to appear here. Each year just gets worse" Zilian didn't give held back with his words. The judge can only shake his head and focus back on the stage. Nothing more can be said to an obstinate genius.
Suddenly, the lights were turned off. Initially some panicked by the sudden darkness, but they realized that it was part of the presentation.
Amidst the darkness, specks of light appeared at the side like stars in the night sky.
Light footsteps can be heard at the same time and the model appeared within the specks of light.
With every step, the light fabric flew surrounding her. Eventually, she made a twirl and the dress flowed out looking like the phenomenon of colorful light columns that can be viewed in the small town of Alarie in the north of Country C.
Murmurs of awe can be heard from the crowd.
Zilian's sleepy face perked up. He never thought he'd be able to see something interesting just as the competition is about to end. But will every piece hold up like this one?
Not long after, one could see a model walking with the soft waves. It was gently crashing with a blue illumination. As time passes, one could observe an illusion of swimming jellyfishes. It was truly a mysterious sight.
One by one unique creations passed and the people are becoming more and more hooked up and excited.
When it was time for the main outfit to be presented, every eye was glued to the stage and everyone was holding their breaths.
Three years ago, she can only dream of walking in an international stage. Who would've thought that when she already left, it would come running to her?
Yue stepped into the stage.
Yue transformed from a cute girl to a glamorous woman. Paired with her enchanting face, she brought life to Ker's masterpiece. She didn't overwhelm the dress, but they complimented each other.
The dress was the integration of every heavenly creation and Yue was like the lone moon sitting in its vastness, so graceful and pristine.
Yue perfectly displayed the beauty of the dress. She walked neither fast nor slow during her parade.
It was a short moment and Yue already disappeared from the stage but the crowd still can't get over from what they've seen.
The judges were not exempted from wonderment. Zilian was most moved and unconsciously stood from his seat.
From the backstage, as soon as Yue appeared, a shadow hovered around her.
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! You, my dear, is born to be a model. I'll resign immediately from being an assistant and be a full time manager as long as you say yes" Linn excitedly blurted.
Earlier, Linn came to offer her assistance as soon as she learned about the incident. But what greeted her was not the scene of people panicking but people shouting in amazement.
Even Rei, who was used to be the center of attention, was totally thrown out of the loop as soon as the staff saw Yue come out.
Who would have thought the low profile girl beneath the baggy shirt and glasses was actually such a sophisticated woman.
Linn was shocked to see her friend. Although she knew that she was actually a noble woman, but that doesn't mean she can model in front of the crowd. It takes a skill to be able to move in the catwalk. But seeing the confident Yue, she can somehow see her dominating the stage like a queen.
And so, back to the present,
"What are you babbling about? You want to leave my side?" Kiro appeared and scolded Linn. Then he faced Yue.
"Yue, I will not allow you to get her, but uhm, if you want you can let me be your boyfriend and I will help you handle your modeling engagements" as soon as Kiro uttered those words, Ker knocked his head.
"Hey, you shouldn't do that to your older brother" Kiro gave a pitiful look.
"Die" Ker was nonchalant.
"Hey, that was rude. Are you trying to curse me? Why would you do that to your brother? Did I not take care of you when you were still in your swaddling clothes? Did I not feed you with milk and change diapers for you? Did I not attend your recitals and parent-teachers meeting in school?" Kiro almost let out the details of Ker's childhood with his unstoppable mouth. Ker could only cover his face in embarrassment.
Yue laughed at the sight of such a comical scene and so are others.
"Attention, each participants and main models please proceed at the stage" the producer called and cut their merriment. The result from the judges has come out.
