The uproar at the scene suddenly solidified, and even the passengers surrounding the bar put down their wine glasses and turned their attention to the entire group of the troupe.
May was stunned for a while, "When I was in the old capital, I received Mr. Kakin's advice."
"Guide, right? That's why he doesn't want to see you." The steward said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Kajin is very disappointed in you, Miss May."
Although this sentence was uttered in her ear, the companions around her still heard the other party's answer, and May felt that her hand was instantly grasped by Irene.
This statement is harsher than the accusation, especially when it comes from a theater master. For the younger generation, their blame can be either criticism or encouragement with high expectations, but disappointment is another meaning entirely. If it were her who was three years ago, I am afraid she would be overwhelmed on the spot, and even sobbed.
But the first thing she thinks of now is not herself.
She has been a star of the Westland for many years, and the pillar of the Xinghua Theatre Company, whether in terms of acting or ability, has a considerable degree of self-affirmation. If even she was hit hard by this, what would Irene, Tina and the others do behind them? Not to mention the talent is still good, only the swallow who lacks self-confidence.
So May found herself unexpectedly calm.
She let out a sigh of relief and responded in an orderly manner, "Really? I think there may be some misunderstanding. It would be best if I could explain it in person. If not, I can only apologize here."
Seemingly not expecting her to respond so lightly, the steward could not help frowning, "You..."
"Anyway, I hope that Mr. Cagin can go further in drama and make new breakthroughs in the ceremony, so we won't bother." She took two steps and turned back, "Also, please don't call me Miss May. , I am now Mrs. Lannes."
On the way back, the weather did not change, but May felt that the sky was much gloomier, and the group was silent, without the activity and excitement of the first trip.
It wasn't until they were about to part that Gate couldn't help but ask, "Master May, are you really with Master Kajin?"
"Fool, what are you talking about!" Luo Xia glared at him fiercely, "If Sister May really had a holiday with him before, how could she take the initiative to visit him, wouldn't she be making fun of herself! What disappointment? , I think it's just jealousy."
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at her in disbelief.
"Hey hey... The person you're talking about is the playwright of Greycastle..."
"Originally," Luo Xia said indignantly, "Neverwinter City has become the new capital, and the Star Flower Troupe is the most popular performing group in the Western Region. Their status has dropped, so naturally they won't give us a good look. I followed Sister Mei all the way from Changge to Frontier Town. After she came back from the old capital, she never dealt with the Kakin Theater Group again. Where did the word disappointment come from? To put it bluntly, I look down on our stars. It has been established for a short time, and it is not famous in the eyes of the nobles."
"Is that so?" Irene asked suddenly.
It was probably because Luo Xia's grievances were so righteous, that everyone regained some spirits.
"I said why the steward didn't dare to look at Lord May, it seems that he is guilty..."
"That's why Master Kajin doesn't want to see Sister May?"
"That's weird!" May finally couldn't help rolling his eyes, "With his fame, why would he need to be jealous of me? Outside the Western Region, almost no one knew who I was, but in the whole of Greycastle, Even in the Kingdom of Dawn, many people have heard of the name of Kajin Feith. The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it is!"
Everyone immediately shrank their necks.
"Anyway, this is the end of the matter, do you understand?" May clapped her hands, "Let's all go back, we'll continue filming tomorrow!"
Back home, Carter also asked about the visit while chatting over dinner.
And she brought it over in just a few words.
Whatever the reason, May did not want to involve her husband.
After all, this is just a contradiction within the theater industry.
The filming of the ghost in the next few days went very smoothly, and the depressed atmosphere she was worried about did not appear. On the contrary, it was probably because everyone held their breath, and the final scene of the final battle in the palace was performed exceptionally brilliantly, which is rare even for Gates. He played to an extraordinary level, and he would never take a break until he got his movements in place. This atmosphere even drove the entire Star Flower troupe, which opened the eyes of those newcomers who had just entered the industry.
During the period, some people speculated that it was because of the guidance of Master Kajin that the actors suddenly worked hard.
This also made Mei a little relieved.
It seems that the accident at the Whistle Inn did not affect the troupe too much.
Just when she thought the visit was over, the unexpected happened again.
The manager of the Cagin Theatre came to her after a day of filming.
"My lord wants to talk to you, May... No, Mrs. Lannes." He stood outside the castle district, seemingly waiting for a long time, and even his hat was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Undoubtedly, the other party was referring to the founder of the Kajin Theatre Company, the master of Greycastle theatre, Kajin Feith.
At that moment, countless questions arose in her heart, and she even wanted to reject the other party with the "disappointment" in her mouth, but she found that she really wanted to see Kajin... For nothing else, just to solve the mystery.
"Can I bring a buddy?" May asked.
"No, Your Excellency Kajin only allows you to go alone." The steward shook his head.
"Sister May..." Irene, who was traveling with her, worried.
She tilted her head and glanced at Irene, indicating that she was fine, then took a deep breath, "I understand, please lead the way."
…
Still the whistleblower hotel.
May followed the steward up the second floor and entered a spacious study. Standing with their backs against the bookcase are several well-known faces, "Princess" Roentgen, "The Prodigal Son" Agpo, "Feixia" Benesse... These people are top actors who have gathered from all over the world. In "Love", she also had a fairly harmonious cooperation with them. The reunion after many years should have been full of joy, but from the indifferent expression of the other party, May only saw contempt and hostility.
This surprised her greatly.
Although there is no hope for a warm reunion, in the Western Star's impression, even if there is a contradiction between them, it will not be so obvious. For famous actors, hiding their expressions is just a basic skill. Even if they are facing a newcomer, few people are willing to completely tear their faces. This is different from the good people in the long opera house. The more famous people are, the more they cherish themselves. 's wings. However, they are reluctant to do even this kind of superficial work at the moment.
May looked at the half-white-haired old man behind the desk. After not seeing him for a few years, Kakin seemed to have aged a lot, but no one of the actors present would ignore his existence. These peers have not spoken, and are obviously waiting for the drama master to speak.
Kakin seemed to feel her gaze, closed the script in his hand, and stood up.
And his first sentence made May froze in place.
"Mrs. Lannes, can I ask you and your troupe to suspend the next show?"
