A prince from a certain American comic book

Ike looked at Tommy and smiled, "Believe me, if the other male students see Carrie's appearance tonight, you won't just have me as your rival."

Tommy stepped in front of Carrie to block Ike's prying eyes and said, "I'll be the most dazzling knight tonight."

Ike laughed heartily.

Chris, who was standing next to him, seemed to think she knew something and glanced at Ike a few more times.

Not long after.

After everyone entered and received their waist tags, Chris pulled Akra aside and, though asking a question, said with certainty, "Did you and Tommy already discuss this beforehand?"

Ike shook his head and said, "No."

Chris was slightly taken aback.

Ike looked around and smiled, "It's actually very simple. Some people hate Carrie, while others sympathize with or even like her."

Chris pressed further, "Which one are you?"

Ike laughed and said, "I am the fourth type: the observer who is in the midst of the event but remains detached from it."

Chris blinked.

Ike laughed.

The ball started on time.

The music played at the event also changed from a fast tempo to a slow tempo.

Matt, who was chatting with Ike and Chris, exchanged a glance with his girlfriend Cassie before getting up and walking toward the dance floor.

Ike looked at Chris.

Chris glanced at Carrie, who had transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan tonight, and smiled as she shook her head, saying, "Forget it, I'll give up on being queen tonight."

Ike was somewhat curious.

Chris tilted her head and glanced at Ike, smiling as she said, "This isn't the last time for us in high school. I want to be the Queen of the Prom, and you have to promise me."

Ike lowered his head, grasped Chris's fair and slender right hand, and smiled, "Of course, you will be my queen."

who cares.

When feelings run deep, they naturally become straightforward.

At worst, he could wait until his only sister Elsa, who could still torment him, got married, and then openly marry Chris as his queen. At that time, anyone who dared to object would be dealt with by executioners. Ike even envied the emperors who stormed the court for the sake of a woman.

Carrie, on the other hand, was somewhat flustered by Tommy's invitation.

Carrie shook her head softly in refusal, "No, Tommy, I've never danced before, I can't dance, I can't..."

Tommy, however, looked at Carrie with a smile and said, "Carrie White, may I have this dance with you?"

Carrie was speechless.

However, Carrie slowly got up at Tommy's insistence.

The dance music started.

The lights gradually dimmed.

Chris, who was sitting there watching the dance floor, smiled and said to Ike, who was holding her, "You're right, Carrie will look beautiful tonight."

Ike raised the punch in his hand and took a sip.

The alcohol content is too low, and it even has a slight apple flavor.

next second.

Ike put down the punch and said, "After I graduate, I want to buy a winery and make wine exclusively for myself."

Chris leaned close to Ike's ear and said, "I've secretly hidden a bottle of red wine in my bedroom."

Ike's eyes lit up as he looked at Chris.

Just then.

Ike glanced out of the corner of his eye at the stage that had been set up for the awards ceremony.

After half an hour.

The ball, a preview of the graduation prom, was drawing to a close. The lights came on, and everyone returned to their seats to draw their ballots from the tables, beginning the competition for the king and queen of the night.

Ike immediately put a checkmark on Carrie and Tommy.

Chris did not hesitate.

Matt, sitting opposite, shook his head and chose to cast his vote for Carrie and Tommy.

Seeing this, Casey followed suit and cast her vote for Carrie and Tommy.

Carrie, on the other hand, stared blankly at the list of candidates on the ballot.

Her name is on the list of candidates.

Carrie looked at Tommy and said, "Our names are on the list of candidates."

Tommy said, "Don't you want that?"

Carrie countered, "Do you want that?"

Tommy raised his chin, glanced at Ike, and said, "This list was changed by Ike this afternoon."

Carrie couldn't help but glance at Ike.

Ike noticed Carrie's gaze, and immediately raised his ballot, giving Carrie a thumbs-up with a smile.

Chris, Matt, and Casey followed suit.

Carrie's face flushed slightly.

Not long after.

Parsons, who was in charge of collecting the votes, walked over to Ike's table and smiled, "Have you made your vote?"

Matt and Casey tossed the folded ballots into the gift box in Parsons' hand, under the watchful eyes of the cameras.

When it was Ike's turn, he glanced at Parsons a few more times before casting his vote with a slight smile on his lips.

After half an hour.

On the stage where the king and queen's special seats were placed, the host excitedly announced, "Alright, the results are in! The votes were very close. Tonight's King and Queen of the Ball are Tommy Rose and Carrie White, who won by a single vote..."

Tommy and Carrie, sitting in their seats, were instantly stunned.

Su, who ran in through the emergency exit, was also taken aback.

The entire ballroom was momentarily stunned.

As Ike's applause rang out.

next second.

The ballroom, which had just come to its senses, was instantly filled with applause.

Chapter 112: The Perfect Ball Must Not Be Disrupted

Congratulations. Ice#[email protected]

"Well done, Carrie."

"Carrie, you're amazing."

"..."

Carrie White, sitting in her seat listening to the applause that erupted around her, had a very interesting expression on her face: excitement mixed with disbelief, disbelief mixed with a little bit of confusion, and confusion mixed with a little bit of unease...

now.

As the King and Queen's music began, Carrie, with Tommy's help, rose to her feet, seemingly engulfed in applause.

Tommy, with his arm around Carrie's slender waist, slowly walked towards the stage placed on the throne, surrounded by the rising crowd.

The large screen was also playing footage of Carrie and Tommy walking past in real time.

This was something Carrie, who had always been treated as an invisible person, had never experienced before.

Carrie looked at the two seats on the stage and smiled sweetly.

At this moment.

For the first time, Carrie experienced what it meant to be the center of attention.

Not long after.

Tommy and Carrie stood firm on the stage and turned to look at the crowd below.

The female host handed the flowers to Carrie and announced with a smile, "Queens of Quaker High School, these are the newly crowned King and Queen of the Prom, Tommy Rose and Carrie White."

The applause grew louder once more.

But at that moment...

The host fell silent after saying that.

Ike walked up from below.

Carrie's smile froze.

Ike smiled at Carrie and said, "I'm having a bit of a problem, but don't worry, I'll get through it soon."

Carrie was somewhat confused.

Even Tommy, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Ike looked up at his head.

Portia and her hoodlum boyfriend Billy were stunned. Billy was so panicked that he abandoned Portia and prepared to leave.

However, security personnel on both sides blocked their way.

Not long after.
