The Swan sailed westward along the Chishui River, with May standing on the bow, looking straight ahead. She didn't want to enjoy the scenery, she just wanted to see the pier in Border Town earlier.
"How long until we get there?" she asked impatiently.
"It's almost time, Miss May. The sun is shining here, you'd better go back to the cabin to rest." Gate said behind him. You don't have to look to know that he must have a pleasing smile on his face at this moment.
Looking back, May found that it was indeed the case, "It was already fast when you told me before, and it is still fast now? Have you ever been to Border Town?"
"Uh..." He was speechless for a long time, and finally scratched his head, "The last time I came was ten years ago."
"You can change the owner of Changge Fortress in one year, let alone ten years?" May said angrily, "But there are exceptions. I don't think you have changed. Ten years are the same as one day, and you will never be on the stage."
Seeing the other side with a stiff smile and backing away, she finally felt a little more comfortable. If it wasn't for the news from Irene, she really didn't want to go to Border Town with these errand actors.
As the star actress of the Fortress Theater, she is quite famous throughout the Western Border. This time, she was invited by the High Tower Theater to perform "The Prince's Search for Love" in the Royal Capital of Greycastle. The performance was a great success, and even the master of drama, Mr. Kakin Faith, praised her for having played the role of the Loveless Princess to life. Although she was not the heroine, her impression was not inferior to that of the heroine.
But when she rushed back to Longsong Fortress with great interest, she found that the place had undergone earth-shaking changes. Duke Ryan was defeated and died, and the fortress fell into the hands of the fourth prince, Roland Wimbledon, and is currently under the custody of Peiro Hermon of the Honeysuckle family... Less than a year after he left, the western border became unfamiliar.
Fortunately, the political turmoil at the upper levels had little effect on the theater. If it was only like this, it would only add a bit of after-dinner conversation to May and the sisters, but the news that the first knight of the Western Region, Dawn and Morning Light, was captured, immediately broke her heart. up.
May immediately rushed to the theater and wanted to ask Irene about the situation, but found that she had also gone to Border Town half a month ago, probably to reunite with her husband. While this news disappointed May, it was also mixed with a little envy.
Also working in the theater, she is a well-deserved number one, and Irene is a newcomer who has not yet made her debut. The title of Tomorrow's Flower is only from the mutual praise of the group of miscellaneous actors; in terms of appearance, she has the confidence to never lose to the other party; in terms of family background , Although she was from a commoner, Irene was just an orphan adopted by the theater, so she was much better than the other party.
However, it was difficult for May to let go of the fact that the naive-looking Irene who fell in love with Filinn Hilt in the morning light of dawn, even gave up the family inheritance in order to marry her.
"Look, farmland," someone shouted, "we're not far from Frontier Town."
May looked to the left of the ship, and saw rows of wheat straws below her knees blowing in the wind, and farmers wearing straw hats busy in the fields, as if they were in the green ocean. The wheat fields stretched westward with the shimmering river water, with no end in sight.
"This scenery is so beautiful, Miss May," Luo Xia came over and nodded to her, "I didn't expect that in this remote place, you could see a vast farmland no less than Changsong Fortress."
"Compared to the capital, this is nothing at all," May said disapprovingly. "There, the wheat fields can even connect the two cities. Along the way, there is nothing but wheat. It's annoying to watch."
"Really," she smiled awkwardly, "I've never been that far."
Well, this is the reaction that ordinary people should have, May thought, if Irene heard this, I am afraid she would only show an envious expression and ask herself to tell more. "Don't worry, you have a chance to go in the future."
"I hope so," Luo Xia patted her chest, "Thank you for your encouragement."
I mean that you can take a caravan's ride to the capital with only a few silver wolves. It doesn't mean that you can also go to the capital to perform a drama. May rolled her eyes in her heart. But the other party is Irene's friend after all, and May is too lazy to say all these words.
Luo Xia joined the theater earlier than her, and was about the same age as herself, but due to her plain appearance and poor memory, she never got the chance to officially perform on stage. Except for Erin, few people in the theater were willing to pay attention to her.
"Does Erin know we're here today?" May asked.
"I set a date in my reply to her, and she should meet us at the dock."
"That's good," she nodded, "I don't want to find a hotel alone in a strange town."
"Can I ask you something? Miss May," Roja hesitated, "why are you going to the town with us, and secretly hiding it from the theater? Erin's letter said that there might be actors here. Opportunities, but you don't lack opportunities at all."
"If you tell the truth, do you think the theater will let me come to this ghost place?" May pouted, "As for why I came here... I just want to see if my companions in the theater are doing well."
She doesn't know why she made this impulsive decision. The Changge Fortress Theater has a major drama to be performed in the next two days. As soon as she leaves, the theater owner will have a headache. Although there are still a few backup actresses, without her, the nobles may not buy it, and if it is serious, they will protest to the theater.
To be honest, this is not a wise choice. May knows this in his heart. No matter how famous he is, he has to rely on the theater to exist. There's nothing she can do if she annoys the theater owner and simply refrigerates her and revives a new female lead. Either you don't compromise and admit your mistakes, or you have to leave here and compete with other theater leaders.
Otherwise... After seeing Ferrin, we should take a boat and return to the fortress right away? May thought.
"I see," Luo Xia nodded, "Irene will be very surprised when she sees you."
The scenery along the river bank gradually became richer, and there were many more tents and wooden houses on the side near the Desperate Mountains. It was almost noon at this time, and the peasant women were busy cooking porridge and stewing soup. The smoke from the kitchen rose from the residential area, and May could smell the fragrance of wheat occasionally. The children gathered by the river to play, and those who were good in water would strip off, plunge into the river with the cheers of their companions, and then clambered up to the shore.
May finally saw the long-awaited dock.
After the Swan docked, Gate and Sam volunteered to take care of all the ladies' luggage. As soon as the group walked off the trestle, Luo Xia shouted excitedly, "Irene!"
Mey followed the other party's shout and saw a woman in a white dress waving at them by the pier, and there was a tall man standing beside her. You can see from his tall and sturdy figure that he is extraordinary in martial arts.
Dawn dawn, Filin Hilt.
The figure in May's memory became clear again. (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come and vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Please come.)
