Hoyeon stepped out of the black, luxury car first. She wore a long qipao-inspired emerald dress with an intricate phoenix pattern. It was sleeveless, so her muscular arms stood out the most. The other foreign guests viewed her fit body with a mixture of admiration and envy. She looked elegant and strong at the same time. She stepped aside to allow the next person to step out of the car.
Chaerin emerged from the car wearing a deep sapphire blue dress. The neck, sleeves and the bottom part of the skirt were made of sheer fabric woven with thousands of crystals sparkling brightly from the spotlights and camera flashes. She also wore an intricate diamond hair piece which looked like a tiara but wasn't. Her makeup was subdued compared to what she usually wore in the past. Smoky eyes and nude, glossy lips. Her posture looked graceful. Overall, Chaerin really looked the part of an elegant and dignified viscountess.
This time, the organizers sent a few representatives to give a warm welcome to Chaerin and Hoyeon. They were especially respectful, polite and enthusiastic towards Chaerin who they referred to as Vizcondesa.
The people who saw this scene instantly became curious about Chaerin and Hoyeon. The spectators immediately grabbed their smartphones and searched up the Viscountcy of Castillo de Estrellas. They confirmed that it was indeed a real title of nobility in Spain. They couldn't find any additional details about it, though. All they could glean from the paltry information available on the internet was that the viscount and everyone in his noble household and businesses were all extremely low profile. Despite the lack of information, the people still felt impressed by Chaerin. After all, she was a real life member of nobility even if it was through marriage.
As for the other VIP guests, they couldn't search up more information about Chaerin like the spectators because phone use was strictly prohibited on the red carpet. Instead, they planned on approaching her later to introduce themselves and directly speak to her. If she really was a viscountess, then it would be a good idea to befriend someone of high status like her.
Chaerin and Hoyeon walked together on the red carpet. Since Chaerin was a member of nobility, the organizers allowed her to bring more bodyguards compared to the other VIP guests. Most of the VIP guests like Maestro De Luca and his wife, Enrique Valdez, and Grandpa and Jiyong didn't bring any bodyguards at all. They just came on their own.
It was only Chaerin who took advantage of the situation in order to show her status as a viscountess. She brought ten bodyguards—all Lisa's subordinates. They arrived on a separate private jet at dawn that same day. Her entourage made her look extra important and impressive to everyone.
She posed with Hoyeon for photos, once again wowing everyone with her confidence and skills in posing. Her past as a model certainly shone through, as she naturally found the best angles and lighting to ensure that every photos taken of her were all flattering.
As for Hoyeon, she looked stiff compared to Chaerin's gracefulness. She stood military-style with her back ramrod straight. Instead of looking awkward, however, it made her look strong and even intimidating.
Fortunately, Chaerin didn't force her to do some of the poses they had been practicing for days. Chaerin concluded that Hoyeon's stiff military-style pose looked more natural than if she forced herself to pose like how Chaerin taught her.
"Vizcondesa, look here!"
"Smile, Vizcondesa!"
The photographers shouted requests at Chaerin. Of course, she granted all of them. In the end, she posed for far longer than the time allotted to the guests. However, the organizers didn't rush her and allowed her the extra time. The special treatment was very apparent.
Everyone was very curious about her. The members of the media wanted to interview her. Unfortunately, there were no interviews allowed on the red carpet. They had to wait for the formal dinner after the opening ceremony later that night in order to conduct interviews.
It was only the local reporters who recognized Chaerin. However, they still had to do a double take to make sure that it was really her.
Chaerin was also somewhat famous back in the country, or more accurately, she was infamous. She was known as the mother of Jennie Kim and also as the high profile ex-wife of Jihoon Kim. Their divorce back then filled the entertainment news and tabloids, especially after Chaerin demanded a ridiculous amount of alimony and child support from Jihoon. What was even more ridiculous was that she got everything she wanted from her ex-husband. After the divorce, she had become a notoriously extravagant socialite who everyone loved to hate. In short, her reputation back home wasn't pleasant at all.
"When did Chaerin become a viscountess?" the local reporters asked among themselves.
"I have no idea. But what I do know is that this is surely gonna be BIG NEWS!"
They joined their foreign peers in snapping hundreds of photos of Chaerin. They couldn't wait to publish them online. Perhaps their bosses might even feel enough interest to feature this story on a TV news program or in a newspaper article. They thought that Chaerin suddenly becoming a Spanish viscountess was the biggest local news of the night.
They couldn't wait to interview her at the formal dinner later. There were so many questions that they wanted to ask her. These local reporters became too focused on Chaerin that they had almost forgotten the purpose of why they came here in the first place. They were here to cover the participation of the only local entry, the movie"Strong Yet Broken", in the Sommet International Film Festival.
One reporter wasn't just snapping photos like the others. Instead, he was livestreaming the red carpet event for the local viewers back home.
In just a few minutes of featuring Chaerin, the viewers count immediately jumped from a pitiful 200 to almost 80,000. And it was still increasing.
