Chapter 603: LATEST EPISODE'S ONLINE REACTION
- I actually cried buckets watching that scene. Like, Caesar, why do you have to do that to my Luan???
- At least, he died still upholding those beliefs. That\'s a small win, right?
[How can someone still look so beautiful while dying? *attached short vid of Astrid\'s dying scene*]
- Right?? That scene where he slowly closed his eyes while a single teardrop fell was just perfect.
- The camera work was just superb on that part.
- Maybe the director knew that he had to capture Astrid\'s beautiful dying face that\'s why he worked extra hard. LOL.
- Hahaha beautiful dying face, that\'s new.
[I haven\'t read the novel, but did Caesar really die with Luan?]
- Do you want spoilers?
- Let\'s not spoil people, but no, he\'s still alive.
- LOL he\'s the male lead and there are still two episodes left. Of course, he\'s still alive.
- But how can he survive that? Didn\'t he burn? How about the stab wound?
- He did burn. But someone saved him it time. Plot armor, I guess. His skin was covered in burn scars, though. So, he had to wear a mask."
- Please put spoiler alert in every spoiler post!
[But Astrid Townsend and Miguel Estrada really did a good job for this scene. Thumbs up to those two.]
- I wonder if Aster could win an award for his role here.
└ Whoa. I haven\'t thought of that, but it\'s possible, right? Maybe he\'ll get the best new actor award, like he did in Silver Moon.
└ What best new actor? He deserves the best supporting actor for his role here!
[I cried so hard during their childhood montage scene. How can those two babies really end up like that?]
[Caesar is truly a very flawed protagonist. But I guess that\'s why the novel is such a big hit; readers are following the journey of someone who feels like a real human being.]
- It\'s the same for all the characters though. Especially Luan.
- This is why <The Great War> is still on the best-seller list.
@astridsnumber1fan: [I\'m not familiar with the novel, and only watching the show because of Aster, so let me just say what the #@%*?! How can you kill Luan like that? And I read somewhere that the bastard Caesar is still alive? How is that fair? After all Luan\'s planning, it didn\'t even affect Caesar in the slightest? What kind of shit was that?
Did you just kill Aster for no reason?]
- Brother White is here!
- I\'ve been waiting for your comment. As expected, Brother White is still the best!
- Brother White, do you want spoilers?
└ astridsnumber1fan: Yes, give me all spoilers you can. Since Aster will no longer appear in the show, I won\'t watch it anymore, so just spoil me.
└ Wow. Brother White is really different.
└ Is this the essence of a true fan?
└ astridsnumber1fan: Stop saying nonsense and just give me spoilers.
└ Yes, boss. After Luan\'s death and Caesar almost being burned alive, a rumor started to spread across the continent about the tyrant emperor\'s invasion of the holy land. The rumor was, to say the least, much more gruesome than what really happened. Of course, the reaction of the people, who were mostly believers of Jaya, could be easily imagined. Rebellions erupted from all corners of the continent.
With Caesar still in a weakened state, he couldn\'t stop them in time. The unrest grew larger and larger, eventually becoming the last major threat to Caesar\'s plan of unifying the whole continent into one big empire. This was all part of Luan\'s plan. He knew he would die at Caesar\'s hands, so he prepared this scheme beforehand. In a way, he indeed won against Caesar.
└ astridsnumber1fan: As expected of Aster.
└ Wait, shouldn\'t it be Luan and not Aster?
└ astridsnumber1fan: What are you saying? Luan is merely Aster in another form, so all of his accomplishments are actually thanks to Aster.
└ LOL that\'s a new way to look at it.
- But Brother White, I just visited Aster\'s fan community site and saw an announcement about the fan club president. Why isn\'t your name there?
└ That\'s right! Who even is Muscled Bubblegum? How can they be the president when the fans are not even aware of who they are?
└ Oh, I know them! They\'re pretty new to the fandom, but they\'ve been very vocal about how they like Aster.
└ A new guy? How the hell did they became the president?
----------
Wulfric read that last comment and sighed. After being offered the position of the fan club president, he truly wanted to accept it. But with the things he had to do as a general, it would be hard to do his best as the fan club president. And Aster deserved nothing less.
So, the solution he thought of was to hire someone. Of course, he didn\'t just hire anyone. He made sure they were a trustworthy person who would do the job well and would not just blab about Wulfric\'s identity to anyone. Most importantly, it must be someone who also genuinely liked Aster - only as an actor, of course.
After searching for days, not only in Alluna\'s military base but also in the nearby area, he finally found someone who fit the bill.
His housekeeper.
That\'s right. The person in charge of cleaning and maintaining his mansion. The other\'s name was Samuel Lewis. It was only an accident that he found out that he\'s a big fan of Aster.
It happened exactly last week. As he was about to enter the mansion, he heard the other exclaiming Aster\'s name. Samuel was in the middle of mowing the lawn when he heard him. When he turned in the other\'s direction, he immediately saw that he was watching a compilation video of Aster on [Cyberspace].
After that, he investigated the other and found out that he was a new Starlight with a handle name @muscledbubblegum.
