The Whispering Verses Chapter 1547: Hamilton and the actress
Miss Carina is quite troubled:
"It is impossible for my nephew to leave Tobesk City easily. Maybe I will be able to bring Lesia's brothers to represent the royal family in the negotiations. If this is the case, I will be there this spring. There’s really no time to rest.”
"Won't Lesia be sent?"
Xia De asked curiously. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was holding his hand, finally leaned lightly on his shoulder. Because Miss Carina was on the other side, of course she couldn't see what Shade's hands were doing, but Agelina, who was next to Lesia, could clearly see Shade's hands on those beautiful stockings. Dance on.
"Father will definitely not send me there. Since I was the one who visited Willendale last summer, I will definitely not be there this time."
"I understand, for balance."
Shad nodded.
"You really know everything. Sometimes I wonder where you got such knowledge."
The witch took Shade's other hand, and then gently kissed the side of Shade's face. Shade thought Lesia would be angry, but Miss Carina stood up after the kiss, then called the maids in the room and followed her to the side room to rest:
"I won't interrupt your date. If we wait a little longer, I'm afraid Lesiya will take the initiative to drive us away. That would be too disrespectful."
With golden eyes, he winked playfully at his grandniece:
"The knight's hands are very warm, right?"
Lecia ignored her at all. She was the one who took advantage anyway.
"Agelina, what are you doing sitting here?"
The princess curiously asked her sister again. The little princess stood up belatedly, then turned back step by step, and left the room behind Miss Carina.
When everyone left and the doors leading to the side rooms and corridors were locked, Her Royal Highness kicked off her high heels briskly, then put her arms around Shade's neck and sat in his arms.
"You must win the riding competition around the city."
The beautiful eyes in the darkness looked at Shade:
"Not for Delrayon, nor for any honor, just for me and Dorothy. Dorothy and I have already discussed it. At the dinner after the game, if you want to have a fun Time, don’t let us down, knight.”
She grabbed Shade's tie and pulled Shade down to kiss her. Her Highness the Princess seemed to be in a particularly high mood tonight, so much so that when the kiss ended, Shade even suspected that his lips had been bitten.
Tonight's opera "Lovers in the Bell Tower" lasted for two and a half hours. Because of the success of this performance, after the last scene, when the actors took the stage to take a curtain call, they bowed five times before they were appeased. aroused the excitement of the audience.
The lights above the auditorium were turned on again, and the people who had recovered from the opera were bathed in the light again, feeling that they had experienced a new and strange life.
The lights in the private box above the auditorium have also been turned on at this time. In the central room, the maids filed in to clean up the traces and help the princess organize her clothes. Agelina was obediently Lesia helped her fix her hair behind her.
Shade buttoned his coat and when he stood up, he saw Miss Carina standing at the door waving to him:
"Young people are really angry...Follow me, we have other things to do tonight."
"What happened?"
“An uncontained relic appeared at the Opera House, and I only got the news this morning. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with the Queen Maria Opera House. To be precise, I have 100% of the property here. Twenty-seven shares. That relic is still behind, come with me to see what it is."
Since she said this, Xia De had no reason to refuse. However, he also thought that as a ring warlock, the probability of encountering an ownerless relic alone was too small. Not only compared to the chosen ones like Yin Luna who encountered challenges almost every day, but also compared to ordinary ring warlocks, the probability of him encountering relics was too low.
Since he was leaving with Miss Carina, Shade naturally had to explain his whereabouts to Lesia. Her Highness the Princess, who was already satisfied, seemed a little lazy at the moment. She waved her hand to Shade:
"Since it is a relic, you go and see it with her. I won't say goodbye to you. Agelina and I will go back to Yodel Palace in a while. Knight, tonight is a good night."
This gave Shade the illusion that he would be abandoned after he played his role. But fortunately, Lesia still remembered to get up and give him a kiss to say goodbye. Her Highness the Princess's wet kiss was very pleasant.
The structure of the Maria Opera House in Torbesk is very similar to the Wilde Opera House in Randall Valley. The opera house's performance hall connects the auditorium to the backstage. In addition, only guarded passages can enter the backstage directly from the front of the opera house to prevent actors from being harassed during the performance.
Although Miss Carina did not place her followers in the opera house to monitor them at any time, she also had her own eye spies and intelligence network locally, and the news of the relics was passed to her because of this.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if your teacher, Miss Danister from the Thirteenth Ring, has ever mentioned this to you."
As the servants passed through the side door at the end of the corridor and entered the backstage, Miss Carina lowered her voice and said to Shade:
"Since last spring, the frequency of out-of-control relics in the material world, out-of-control ring warlocks, and natural disasters has increased significantly. The church discovered this when it summarized its work over the past year at the end of last year. Grassroots ring warlocks like Yin Luna The Warlock Team has long realized that the accident rate throughout last year was not right."
On the walls on both sides of the backstage corridor of the opera house, there are all photos of the curtain call of performances, with golden nameplates marking the time and repertoire. Shade glanced at them with his peripheral vision:
"Miss Denister didn't mention it, but I heard Yin Luna complain. She was transferred from the Holy See to work last spring. According to her, her friends in other dioceses also thought that the entire last year Years, strange things happen too frequently."
Shad replied that this should also be the influence of the beginning of the epic of the Sixth Age. This is the real world, not the stage of an opera. It is impossible to have problems in one place while everything else is fine.
However, Luvia can confirm that the story of the Chosen One clearly began after the arrival of the outsiders last summer. But Miss Carina said that from the spring of 1853, the frequency of various incidents increased significantly.
"It's the spring of 1853 again. A lot of things happened in this season a year ago..."
The news of the Duchess's arrival backstage has been informed to the theater. After hearing the news, the theater manager trotted over wiping his sweat when they entered the backstage corridor.
It was a plump gentleman, wearing a black formal suit over a fashionable checkered shirt. The silver watch chain extending from the chest pocket is tied to the third button from the top. There is a monocle on the right eye, and a small section of chain hangs down on the right side of the frame. Wearing a tall black silk hat that can hide a rabbit, it looks like a magician's outfit.
He obviously knew that Duke Carina Cavendish did not like the approach of strange men, so he stopped against the wall at a relatively far distance:
"Duke, welcome to your arrival, please forgive us for our poor hospitality. Excuse me, do you want to..."
The fat manager, who could not guess what Miss Carina was thinking, bowed slightly.
Miss Carina did not speak, Tifa smiled and explained:
"Good evening, Mr. Neser. Mr. Shade Hamilton is very interested in the heroine of tonight's opera and wants to meet the beautiful girl backstage. Miss Carina will follow him Come together."
"Huh?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows, but did not object.
The theater manager Mr. Neser was also very surprised. Of course he knew about the relationship between Shade and Miss Carina. Almost everyone in the city didn't know about it now, but he was still shocked by the Duke's doting on his "lover" :
"Okay, no problem. The 'Alice Opera Company' that is performing tonight will also be very happy to be spotted by 'Hamilton by Ray Jade'. Oh, may I ask which heroine Mr. Hamilton wants to meet? ?"
The fat man asked while wiping his sweat. In the "Lovers in the Bell Tower" just now, the role of the male knight was also played by a woman, so there are indeed two female actors who can be called the protagonists.
"He wants them all."
Tifa said with a decent smile without changing her expression:
"We are waiting in the dressing room No. 5. As long as the two of them are wearing makeup and costumes, they must be exactly the same as they were on the stage. You are only given twenty minutes to prepare, and Mr. Hamilton has no more patience. ”
Xia De feels that his reputation in Tobesk City will become much worse after today.
"And no matter what happens tonight, the Duke doesn't want anyone else to know."
Tifa added.
To Shade, this sentence sounded like it was to prevent more noise during the collection of the relics, but to the people in the theater, it sounded like something unspeakable would happen here soon.
"Is that so? Okay, okay, I understand."
The manager, Mr. Neser, wiped his sweat and nodded, then watched them enter the dressing room No. 5. Miss Carina's two female attendants stood at the door, prohibiting others from entering, and the twenty-minute countdown had already begun.
"This is it."
There are many dressing rooms in the Queen Maria Opera House. Dressing Room No. 5 is a large room that can accommodate at least twenty people putting on makeup. The mirrored tables are arranged together in three rows, with seven tables in each row.
The reason why there are twenty tables instead of twenty-one is because the vanity mirror on the corner table has been broken and was placed in the corner as a utility table before it was replaced with a new one.
