Chapter 190 Winning and Losing
"The actor Prince is quite handsome, but his expression is too stiff." {Bayi Novels (
"Ah, it turned out to be him," Roland said slightly surprised, "Dawn, the number one knight in the Western Region, is currently working as a teacher in Border Town, so he is not considered an actor."
"Not an actor?" The businesswoman asked in surprise, "Then you can also be on stage?"
"Manpower is limited," he smiled, "Look at the other two, they are the actors who carried the scene props before. If they were to play the prince, they really... are not like people who can make Cinderella fall in love at first sight. ah."
"...You are right."
Irene, who had changed into her best attire, stood aside and watched as May walked up to Ferrin Hilt, put her hands on his shoulders, and danced with him—no, Ferrin doesn't know how to dance, he was just caught by May Guided by Yi's superb dancing skills, she swayed with the opponent's steps. This passage didn't appear during the rehearsal, and Erin realized that it was May's improvisation.
"My sister seduced the prince in every possible way, but the prince was unmoved and just kept talking to her politely. It was not until Cinderella appeared in front of the prince that all his eyes shifted to this charming woman with bright eyes and bright teeth."
Irene knew that as long as she walked over, Ferlin would throw May aside according to the script, and stage a love story with herself at first sight, but anyone could see that her muddled appearance was less attractive than May It can be said that why would the prince abandon the more beautiful and moving her and choose the ordinary self?
At this moment, she saw Feilin's eyes cast on him.
There is helplessness, comfort, encouragement, and... love.
Irene felt that the stage suddenly fell silent. The laughter, shouts and discussions of the townspeople disappeared, as did the friends from the theater. Only May, Filin and herself remained on the stage.
That's right, her acting skills are far from the stars of the Westland, so give up and admit defeat?
No, there is a voice in Erin's heart whispering, no, she wants to continue acting, this is her rare opportunity, or... her last chance, if she gives up, she probably won't encounter such an opportunity again, Can compete with such an outstanding actress on the same stage.
She also wants to become a person like May, who can arouse the atmosphere of the audience with every gesture, so that everyone's focus will be on herself.
Sorry, May.
she said in her heart.
If the prince is a theater actor, she will hardly even have the courage to compete. Now it is almost impossible for her to defeat the Star of the West with her acting skills.
But he is not. He is the morning light, my love, Irene thought, please forgive my cheating, I don't want to lose to you in front of him.
The stage disappeared, and Irene saw a wheat field in front of her. The golden ears of wheat were already ripe, hanging down heavily, gently swaying with the evening wind, waiting for people to pick them. In the distance, you can see the setting sun falling into the horizon, coating the slowly flowing Chishui River with a warm color. This is the place where they often meet. In the red-orange sunset, the prince turned back into a knight. They fell in love with each other a long time ago.
As long as she blooms her most beautiful side in front of him, he can keep his gaze away... It's not acting, but the real self. Irene lifted the obstructing robe, tied it in a knot, and walked towards Feilin.
Confidence returned to her heart, and everything was so natural. When she walked to the knight, she smiled at May, and the latter unconsciously let go of the hand on his shoulder.
"Can I dance with you?" she asked.
A familiar smile appeared in the corner of Feilin's eyes, "Of course, Miss."
Although not as proficient as May, under her guidance, the knight danced more naturally than before. The tacit understanding between the two infected the audience. Everyone began to applaud and whistle, followed by cheers.
The noise brought Irene back to the stage, she stood on tiptoe, kissed the prince lightly on the cheek, then pushed him away, and ran to the stage quickly. At the same time, the sound of the bell rolled over the square, and there was a faint echo from the mountains in the distance, no more, no less, exactly twelve times.
Soon, the play draws to a close, which is also the last moment of the whole play.
The prince searched from door to door in the outer city, and finally came to Cinderella's house. At this time, the little girl had already changed into a dirty gray robe, was holding a broom, and was pushed aside by her sister. But the elder sister is still beautiful and moving, and she can also wear that glass slipper.
"Your Highness, why are you still hesitating, I am the person you are looking for."
"No, she is not."
"You...you shut up!"
Although May's performance at this moment is not inferior to before, and even a little bit stronger in terms of oppression, Irene no longer flinches. She walks out from the corner, step by step to the center of the stage, and looks directly at the other party, showing unyielding and The look of struggle.
Everyone applauded for this wonderful scene.
At this moment, the witch suddenly appeared, and she raised her hand, letting Cinderella put on her party dress again——
"Your Highness, she is the one you are looking for."
Luo Xia forcefully tore off the gray robe on Irene, revealing the evening dress underneath, and almost at the same time, her coiled head slammed open, and after smoothing it out, the Cinderella who stole the prince's heart once again held her head in an indescribable manner. The posture appeared in front of everyone.
The atmosphere of the audience exploded in an instant.
Everyone boiled under the embrace of the prince and Cinderella, and a salute sounded at the right time outside the venue, pushing the atmosphere to its peak. There was endless applause and cheers until the ending narration sounded and the actors bowed and left the stage, and everyone did not stop applauding.
"This is really wonderful," Margaret clapped her hands and said with emotion, "I thought the little girl would be completely overwhelmed by May, but I didn't expect that she would be able to win back in the end, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but the interaction between her and the prince It's more natural than May, as if... she should really be with the prince."
"It's really surprising," Roland nodded. Later, Irene seemed to be a different person, and she should have performed in her true colors, so she was able to maintain her confidence under May's aggressiveness. The ability to turn the prince back into her husband in a short period of time and get rid of the shackles of the stage is also very good. Given time, she will surely become a rising star. In addition, the sound of bells and salutes produced by Echo was also perfect. Since there was no rehearsal, Roland just told her to play freely before the play began, but he was surprised by the effect.
...
Losing, May closed her eyes.
She tried her best to let Ferlin Hilt play the male role of the prince, just to impress him on the stage she is best at. Use acting skills to completely defeat Irene, in this way to show him the gap between Irene and himself.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to stay in the small town for nearly a week, rehearsing dramas with some actors that she would not pay attention to at ordinary times. After such a long delay, I am afraid that now that she returns to Longsong Fortress, the theater owner will not be able to praise her as much as before. And the most ridiculous thing is that she didn't completely crush Erin even on stage. What she lost was not the other party's acting skills, but the other party's love.
If so, it's time to let go.
May took a deep breath, changed her clothes and left the preparation room with a straight face.
Just as he walked down the stage along the wooden ladder, a man suddenly came up to him.
He is also tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, wearing silver armor, he should be a knight from Border Town - unlike the dawn light, Ferlin's smile is always warm, while his raised eyebrows, narrow eyes And thin lips appear arrogant and indifferent.
"What's the matter?" May frowned.
"Hello, Miss May." Unexpectedly, the other party dispelled his cold and menacing temperament completely, "I am the chief knight of His Royal Highness, Carter Lannis. Your performance is really wonderful, Can I buy you a drink?" (To be continued.)
