May did not expect that when she set foot on the way back to Border Town again, she would be full of expectations.
The trees on the banks of the Chishui River have begun to turn yellow, and the breeze blowing on the front brings a hint of coolness. The shimmering river tumbled underfoot, and every now and then, fallen leaves could be seen sliding over the sides of the boat.
Without the anxiety and unease of the last time, the surrounding autumn scenery has become poetic.
"Miss May," a reverent voice came from behind her, "is the "Witch's Diary" you performed really a script written for you by His Royal Highness?"
May turned around and saw a group of actresses gathered around, the one who took the lead was looking at her nervously, she remembered that the other party seemed to be called Yanzi.
"Aha, sorry," Irene waved at her from the bow and said loudly with a smile, "I can't answer their question, so I have to ask them to ask you."
This idiot... May rolled her eyes secretly, if it was before, she would only sneer twice. Probably because I have been with Irene for a long time, my patience is getting better and better, "It was not written for me by His Royal Highness, but by the Minister of Education of the City Hall, and Lord Scroll for a witch."
"Uh, is that so?" Yanzi blinked, "When you argued with Bella, we all thought it was true."
The difference between what Your Highness wrote and what His Highness wrote for me is very different. How did these people hear the first half of the sentence into the second half? "However, the scriptwriting and theatrical performance have been approved by His Royal Highness, so Bella's mocking of the script is indeed equivalent to mocking His Highness himself. I didn't bluff her about that."
"Have you seen His Royal Highness?"
"I heard that he has the royal family's iconic long gray hair and looks very handsome, is it true?"
"I also heard that he has a romantic nature and has many lovers!"
"Eh, is that true?"
"..." Looking at this group of lively little girls, May could not help frowning. Hell, she shouldn't have responded to their curiosity.
"Okay, don't disturb Miss May," Luo Xia stepped forward and blasted them away, showing May an apologetic look.
"It's okay," she shrugged and continued admiring the scenery along the coast, "after all, this is my own trouble."
"I... don't quite understand," Luo Xia scratched her head and said, "Why do you take them with you when you leave? Of the thirty-five people, only two have been on stage, and twenty-six of them have not even completed all the drama classes. Press As you said before, they are not even chicks, they are still not hatched in the eggshell... Even if the lord does not have high requirements for drama, it is difficult for these people to be accepted by His Royal Highness. If you want to take revenge on Bella, It should also attract experienced supporting actors."
"I didn't plan to let them all act."
"Ah?" The other party froze in place for a while.
"They can understand the script, right?" May smiled, "Although there is still a long way to go before the stage performance, they can at least read and write. Don't you realize that your Highness needs this most of all right now. Talent." She paused for a moment, "Do you think His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon really invited us to perform because he loves drama?"
"This… "
"If it's Lord Peiro, then the answer must be yes. Before he took over the Longsong Fortress, he had the habit of visiting the theater once a week. But according to His Royal Highness Roland, except for the first performance of the new play, the rest of the time is not It will appear in the town square, so he did not promote the theater because of his own preferences, but intended to use the theater to promote his point of view to the masses." May continued, "Compared to the original emphasis on rebelling against oppression and witches is not evil, the new The scripts "Dawn" and "New City" have moved closer to the goal of recruiting people and working hard to get rich, I just follow his wishes and do my little bit."
"Yeah, that's how it is, I never thought about this..." Luo Xia said in a stupefied voice.
"When thinking about a script, in addition to thinking about the characters, you also need to understand the meaning of the whole story as much as possible. This is also a quality that an excellent actor must have."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance!" She bowed.
"Don't worry," Mei raised the corners of her mouth, "if you don't want to act anymore, you can find a good job in Border Town, and maybe you can enter the city hall and become an administrative official. After all, His Royal Highness does not ask for identity, and Regardless of family background, this road is much better than being an actor."
…
After the boat arrived in the town, May saw Phylyn Hilt who was standing by the dock to greet him at a glance.
Of course, he came for Erin.
Seeing the girl dashing into his arms, she sighed softly.
"Isn't that man at dawn?"
"It turns out that he was not sentenced to exile by His Highness..."
"The First Knight of the Western Region, that's great." Yanzi said enviously, "I thought he would be with the Theater Star."
"What nonsense," May's cold shout made everyone shut their mouths, "Hurry up and get off the boat with your luggage, Gate and Roja will take you to the city hall to register your identities, and you can just listen to their arrangements for the rest. "
"Yes." Everyone replied respectfully.
After walking off the pier, Filin walked over with his wife and greeted her, "Miss May, Irene just told me about the conflict in the theater. Thank you for your care for her."
"No need to thank me," May said disapprovingly, "the other party seems to be looking for trouble for her, but it's actually coming for me."
"Even so, I still want to thank you." The knight smiled heartily, "If it wasn't for you, she would have cried on the spot."
After the two left, May pouted, carried her luggage alone, and walked towards the residential area.
Although she had let go of this feeling, she still felt a little emotional when she saw this scene, and the familiar figure did not appear, but she still vowed in the letter that she would give herself a surprise.
Well, after all, the other party is an important person around His Highness, and it is impossible to move freely like the dawn of dawn, right
Back home, May put down the package, and a long-lost sense of relaxation hit her face. She let out a long breath, took out the liquor from the cupboard, and was about to drink a glass when there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, it was Carter Lannis standing outside.
"I didn't expect you to arrive half an hour early," he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I heard that the ship from Changsong Fortress has arrived, and I rushed over from the military camp."
I don't know why, I didn't see him at the pier, and I didn't receive him, but seeing his appearance, May's mood instantly cheered up, "Would you like to have a drink?"
"No, I still have tasks in the afternoon," Carter waved.
"Yeah," she nodded, "What His Highness explained is more important."
"I'm here to give you a present," the chief knight took out a small white wooden box from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Is this the latest product in the convenience market?" Mei took the wooden box curiously, opened the lid, and saw a yellow-orange ring quietly standing at the bottom of the box, with a bright transparent gemstone inlaid on its top. The colorful light is reflected in the autumn sunlight shining through the window.
There is no doubt that this ring is very valuable and is unlikely to be sold in the convenience market. And the nobles gave the ring, which means... She couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Miss May, will you marry me?" Carter asked seriously. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
