Indeed it is.
Caddinfez was still the man May knew, at least in the drama, with a very pure faith. It is precisely because of this belief that she will not hide her disappointment, nor will she change her rhetoric because she needs her help.
Freeing up the venue for his troupe in exchange for a perfect performance seems like a natural choice for anyone who truly loves theatre.
But she found that she could not easily say the word.
As if something was stopping her.
Mei closed her eyes and heard the girl's voice faintly in her ears.
"Mrs. Lannes, please wait for me..."
"This is my thank you gift, please accept it..."
Then someone handed a salted fish to her hand.
At that moment, May suddenly understood what was stopping her.
She opened her eyes and met the gaze of the drama master.
This time, she no longer has any intention of avoiding it.
There are many ways to evade the answer. First affirm your own appreciation, and then add "but" as a turning point. After that, whether it is to explain the nature of the projection of the ghost, or to inform that this drama is appointed by His Majesty the King, both are It's a no-brainer answer.
Kajenfis knew very little about Neverwinter. He neither knew the special features of the Star Flower Troupe, nor did he understand His Majesty's emphasis on drama. It could be said that he looked in the wrong direction from the very beginning. If she can explain clearly, not only can she reverse the misunderstanding of these people, but also have the opportunity to save a lot of Master Kajin's disappointment.
But May knew in her heart that these were just another escape.
"Mr. Cagin, is your performance just for His Majesty?"
"And the nobles, ministers and lords who came to congratulate," Kakin nodded. "If there is no audience to match, no matter how wonderful the performance is, it will be meaningless."
Just like gold with jewelry, good wine with jade cups, the smiles, frowns, and every move of actors have their own meaning in it. Only a careful and dedicated connoisseur can taste the difference between excellence and extremeness.
As it should be.
"Then please forgive me for not being able to promise you," May said sternly, "because what you played was by no means a perfect drama."
"What...?" The old man frowned, "You haven't even seen it, so how did you come to this conclusion?"
"Because no matter how wonderful it is, those people are just watching it." She felt the power pouring out of her heart. "They would applaud, praise it, talk about it in their spare time, but that's all. This drama. It's just a small part of their many entertainments, and without it, their lives wouldn't change at all If it's just an optional thing, how can it be called perfect?"
Kajinfiss's face sank, for the creator, drama is equivalent to his own child, no one can easily accept this kind of evaluation, "I thought you were just chasing fame and lost your way. I have learned the arrogance of the world. Listening to your words, is it possible that you have seen what a perfect drama looks like?"
"I haven't seen it," May said calmly, "but I know what it should be like."
Kakin stared at her with eyes like sharp blades. Years of accumulated prestige gave him a mountain-like oppression, which was heavy enough to make the younger generation in the drama world terrified.
Obviously the other party is waiting for her to explain further, and this is a very easy to lose point answer, or in other words, no matter how you answer, it is impossible to make the other party really satisfied.
But May did not back down.
She also knew that after the following words were spoken, she would completely embark on a different path that they had never seen or understood. This means that she will part ways with most people in the drama world, let alone disappointment, I am afraid that all past relationships will end, and she will not be able to integrate into them again.
It's expensive, isn't it
she asked herself.
Then another voice answered her.
"But it's worth it."
May said, "A great drama should not be just a thing to watch, an entertainment that only comes into the sight of the nobles when they are idle; it can carry more things, and even change the life of others. destiny"
"The Witch's Diary gives the public the opportunity to learn about the life of the witches, so as to get rid of the stigma that does not belong to them; "Dawn" encourages everyone to participate in labor and bid farewell to poverty and hunger and cold. Life; "New City" uses an intuitive way to let new settlers accept the rules of Neverwinter City, and it also makes no place for the black street mice who have wandered here. And "A Hero's Life"... "
She paused, then said slowly, "To cheer up a very sad little girl and devote herself to a new life. I imagine that there are not a few people like her who lost loved ones in the war, no matter how many people have changed because of this, I'm all happy to help them through drama."
"What the hell are you trying to say..." Kakin said solemnly.
"You once told me that the most outstanding drama is to immerse the audience in the life of the characters, but now I want them to see their own future." May said bluntly, "Without the jewels and the jade cup, the nobles will also Alternatives can be found, and the drama I'm doing is the food that fills most people's stomachs."
Faced with this answer, Kakin didn't answer for the first time.
"I believe that the drama you have prepared for two years must be very exciting, but the upcoming performance of "Wolfheart" by the Xinghua Troupe is also beyond imagination. Although it only took more than a month from preparation to stage, some actors are even for the first time. It's still the best drama I've ever seen." She bowed her knees slightly, "If you haven't changed your mind after watching it, I'll recommend your new drama to Your Majesty. ."
After leaving the Whistle Hotel, May only felt comfortable all over, and even her footsteps were much lighter.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, she saw Kataranis waiting by the street.
"Why are you here?" May asked in surprise.
"Irene said that you were picked up by Mr. Kakin's steward. I was a little worried, so I came here." Carter shrugged, "Anyway, I have to go to the convenience market to buy some food for dinner later, which is also on the way."
"Really?" May glanced at him, "Did you already know what happened in the hotel that day?"
"You didn't eat an extra bowl of rice that day, it's strange that you don't see it." The chief knight said proudly.
"Wait..." She stopped abruptly, "You're not going to tell the City Hall, are you? Rejecting the Cagin Theatre Company's application for a performance or something."
"Huh?" Carter raised his brows. "What are you talking about? Whose performance did I reject?"
May stared at him for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, "No, it's nothing..."
"Hey, didn't you tell me?"
"It doesn't matter anyway..." she laughed. "By the way, you haven't bought dinner yet, have you?"
"What, do you have anything you want to eat?"
"Well, let's eat salted fish tonight."
"Salted fish? You don't like to eat this kind of pickled products... The little girl gave you the last time, and you have eaten it for several days."
"I like to eat now, can't I!" May interrupted Carter, then extended his right hand to him, "I just ask if you are going?"
"Of course," the knight took her hand without hesitation, "as long as it is your request, you can go anywhere."
