01.
The day of the premiere of "The Overbearing Demon King Falls in Love with Me".
Magnolia City. The residence of the Viscount Leicester.
Mrs. Leicester is also one of the social butterflies in Magnolia City. Although her husband's title is not the highest, she is in the highest position in the social circle of Magnolia City. She is a well-known salon hostess in Yulan City. Some people say that she is not the most beautiful woman in Yulan City, but she is the most attractive woman in Yulan City. She flirts wantonly, and by doing so, she has brought her husband a lot of political resources. His husband is well aware of this, and he is also proud of it. He thinks it is a very honorable thing to have such an attractive wife... Hmm... It is true that many men envy him, which also represents a relatively abstract social phenomenon.
It exists even on Earth.
This Mrs. Leicester divided the guests of her salon into friends, prospective friends, lovers, prospective lovers, spare tires, facilitators...and also perfectly balanced the relationship between men. The supporters are generally some artists. In this era, the status of artists is closer to that of favourites, and some famous works are produced in these salons.
Mrs. Leicester went to the east coast of the empire some time ago, and just missed the release time of "The Daughter of the Sea", so she is not sure about the influence of the movie. When she first returned to Magnolia City, she also heard some people talking about this new thing, but she didn't take it seriously, but began to seriously prepare for her own salon, preparing to officially announce her return to the celebrities of Magnolia City.
She felt that with her influence, even if she left Yulan City for a few months, as long as she spread the news of her return, many people would definitely visit her and want to attend her salon. But unexpectedly, after she contacted several aristocratic ladies who were close friends on weekdays, they all said that they had something to do that night, so they couldn't come to her salon.
something? What could be more attractive than her salon
Mrs. Leicester felt the crisis. As a well-known salon hostess, she knew that if she wanted her living room to always be one of the vanes of Magnolia celebrities, then she had to grasp all kinds of dynamics in Magnolia City in real time. During this period of time, what happened in Magnolia City
The Duchess Qili Dale, who is close to her, told her that movies are the focus of the whole city now, and the day she held the comeback banquet happened to be the day when the second movie "The Overbearing Devil Loves Me" premiered, so it must be Many people will choose to go to the movies.
Movie, is that movie again
Mrs. Leicester was a little angry. She had seen a lot of new gadgets, and knew that many new gadgets would soon be abandoned and tired after being popular for a while. The eternal ones were traditional, and traditional ones were classics. And the invitation has already been sent out, she wants to see whether she is attractive or the movie is attractive.
As a result, the number of people who came was less than one-third of the previous ones, and they were all men, not a single woman.
Mrs. Lester had not received such a cold reception since she was an adult, and now she was so surprised by the situation that she couldn't be angry. So she sat on the exquisite and luxurious sofa and asked the men about the movie.
Siren Princess, Demon King, Shipwreck... These words sound quite unfamiliar, and the meaning revealed in their mouths also surprised Lester—they actually sympathize with the Demon Race? What exactly is going on? Movie? Opera in the projection stone
Today's salon ended hastily, and what made Mrs. Lester even more unhappy was that the poem the troubadour recited this time was not praising her beauty, but praising the siren princess. What the hell is going on, is the whole city bewitched by the devil
This time the salon took less than half of the usual time. Mrs. Leicester was sitting in the living room, frowning and thinking. She got up suddenly, and the servant immediately stepped forward: "Madam."
"Prepare the carriage." Mrs. Lester said, "I'll go to the cinema to see something.",
"Yes, ma'am."
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Mrs. Leicester thought so confidently.
She wants to see what that movie is, her salon is the most attractive!
On the way to the cinema, Lester found that there were not many people coming and going on the street. Generally speaking, there should be fewer people on the street at this point. She frowned and told the coachman to slow down a little. She opened the curtain a little and heard the chatter of passers-by.
"The devil king is so handsome..."
"If I were the heroine Ann, I would choose to become a demon."
"Those paladins are disgusting."
"For you, I am willing to be the enemy of the world~!~"
These words drifted into Mrs. Lester's ears, and she couldn't help frowning. What's going on? She feels that although her private life is a little messy, she still has a moral bottom line as a human being... Why do these people want to become demons? Mrs. Leicester even thought that there should be quite a lot of people in the next time the salon avoids the movie screening. She should remind her a little bit in the salon.
The carriage finally arrived at the cinema, but Mrs. Leicester got the news that the tickets were sold out.
Mrs. Leicester raised her eyebrows then.
Is the movie so popular? You must know that the Royal Drama Troupe did not have such a grand appearance when they performed. At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Mrs. Leicester?"
Mrs. Leicester turned around and saw that it was Jackson's Miss Olivia who was speaking, and next to her was her brother, Viscount Jefferson Jackson.
"What a coincidence, Miss Olivia, Mr. Jefferson." Mrs. Lester greeted with a smile covering her face with a round fan.
"It's a coincidence, are you going to watch the movie too?" Olivia said happily, "My brother and I were dragged by my father to talk for a long time, but we missed the first scene and had to come to the second one. "
"Tickets are sold out now," reminded Mrs. Leicester.
"Of course it's sold out. The location on the day of the premiere needs to be reserved a week in advance." Olivia said quite naturally, "Oh, by the way, Mrs. Leicester, you may not know about it when you just came back from the west."
A week ahead? When is this the royal club? Mrs. Leicester raised her eyebrows again.
"Mrs. Leicester... don't you have a ticket?" Olivia asked.
Mrs. Leicester felt her face was a little hot, but she still maintained an elegant and reserved attitude, and said: "I just returned to Yulan City, and I really don't know much about the situation here."
"Then let's watch it together, I've booked a box." Olivia said straightforwardly, she was already unconventional among a group of reserved and elegant noble ladies, and she was more masculine and heroic than the gentleness of women, " Believe me, it will be amazing."
Mrs. Lester nodded, "Okay," then a haughty smile appeared on her lips, "The box will be paid half by the Lester family."
"Okay." Olivia didn't take it seriously, she said as she walked into the movie theater, "One thousand gold coins for the box, Mrs. Leicester, you can pay five hundred."
Mrs. Lester froze for a moment.
A box with a thousand gold coins... Is this a money grab
They sat in the box together, and the movie started soon. It was still the devil studio and the cute Q version of the skull, followed by the appearance of the heroine Ann in the first act.
Mrs. Leicester covered her slightly grown lips with a round fan, "Is this... something that really happened?"
"I'm not sure, it should be a fictional story." Olivia shook her head, "But the performance is very real, and this is one of the charms of the movie."
Jefferson Jackson next to him said: "This is the real world, Ariel is real!"
Mrs. Leicester glanced at Jefferson Jackson somewhat unexpectedly. In her impression, the duke's son was quite aloof and had never been close to women. She had never heard of any rumors about him and any lady in the circle. The matter of Fengyue... But now his expression is completely that of a man in love? Speaking of which, Ariel... seems to be the mermaid princess
Mrs. Leicester analyzed in her heart, and then said after deliberating: "Anyway, she is a demon."
Jefferson Jackson glanced at her and said nothing.
In that icy gaze, Mrs. Leicester found what Jefferson Jackson once felt.
what happened. Mrs. Leicester was completely bewildered. Anyway, she felt that it was impossible for her to sympathize with or even like the demons, let alone hear passers-by say that she wanted to become a demon when she came to the cinema.
An hour and forty minutes later.
Mrs. Leicester blurted out: "If I were Ann, I would promise the Demon King to become a Demon Race!"
Olivia nodded vigorously while crying.
