Release that Witch - Chapter 190

[Chapter 189 Stars and Flowers]

There was no curtain, no speech, only a wooden board separating the reception and the preparation room. A group of people performed drama on such a simple stage, and this was the first time in their lives that they performed formally.

“The story takes place in the capital of a kingdom. In the outer city, there is a beautiful and kind girl…”

As the narration sounded, Irene walked slowly to the stage middle.

She was wearing a dirty gray robe, her hair was disheveled on top of her head, and her face was also smeared with black ash.

Swinging the broom in her hand, she carefully cleaned the ground, bending down from time to time to wipe the hard-to-remove dirt with the corner of her robe.

After several days of rehearsal, Irene has memorized the entire plot flow by heart.

The story is very simple. A commoner woman who lost her mother was bullied at home, but she saved a witch out of kindness, and let the witch cast her magic power to send her to the ball held by the prince, and fell in love with the prince at first sight.

However, the magic time was limited, so she had to leave the ball in a hurry, leaving behind a crystal slipper in a panic.

In order to find this beautiful girl, the prince did not hesitate to search the whole city, and finally found her in the outer city. After that, the two lived happily together.

The story is simple and easy to understand, and the plot has also changed from the usual description of the love between the princess and the prince. It is the commoner woman who wins the prince’s favor with the help of the witch by virtue of her kind nature.

As the protagonist of this play, Cinderella, from tolerance to courage to resist under oppression is also what the actors need to focus on.

But what Irene never expected was that May actually gave up the role of heroine to herself.

As long as the star of the Westland is willing to perform on the same stage with her, she is very happy, and as a pillar of the Fortress Theater, May has enough pride and confidence to play the leading role in any play, but in “Cinderella” In , she volunteered to play the protagonist’s half-sister.

This made Irene a little unbelievable. It was not until the other party repeatedly emphasized that this was a performance for newcomers that Irene took on the role of Cinderella.

In the following rehearsals, she worked hard, not only rehearsing each scene repeatedly, but also pestering her bedmate May to teach her acting skills after the candles were extinguished, just to live up to her heart.

Fortunately, Irene is not inexperienced. Looking at the eyes of countless people in the audience, she relaxed her body and reproduced the content that she had practiced repeatedly. So far, she feels that she is in good condition and has not committed any mistakes. mistake.

When Luo Xia, who was playing the witch, forgot her words nervously, she encouraged her with her eyes.

“Let me share half of the oatmeal with you. Don’t eat it too fast, it’s still very hot.”

“Thank you for your kindness, little girl, and I will repay you.”

When Luoxia hunched her back and walked to the backstage, the crowd cheered She clapped her hands—which relieved Irene.

You must know that if you forget the words during the official performance in the fortress theater, it is absolutely an intolerable mistake. The nobles will only boo and laugh at the actor instead of applauding in good faith.

At this moment, May appeared on the stage.

This plot is the first conflict between the mean sister and Cinderella. Under the oppression and insult of the sister, the latter can only cry in tears, hiding in the basement and weeping silently at the portrait of his mother.

But when the opponent stood in front of her, Irene suddenly noticed that the atmosphere on the field had suddenly changed.

She was no longer the taciturn star of the theater during rehearsals, but the ruler of the stage.

Her high-spirited demeanor, proper body movements, and undisguised contempt in her eyes all made Irene feel a strong sense of oppression.

“Hey, look who this is? What are you thinking about when you don’t work in broad daylight?”

“You poor wretch that no one wants, why don’t you hurry up and clean my dress!”

“Stop being so clumsy, This is a dress for a formal banquet, and you won’t be able to pay for it if you break it.”

May pushed her hard, originally Irene should have pretended to fall at this moment, but under the cold eyes of the other party, she couldn’t help but step back a few times Taking a step, he accidentally tripped himself, fell to the ground with almost no buffer, and hit his elbow on the stage floor, a burst of burning pain came.

“It’s really useless…” May stopped looking at her, but walked to the center of the stage, facing the silent square and crowd, and began her monologue.

“As expected of Miss May,” Margaret lowered her voice, admiring, “A few simple words have attracted everyone’s attention, and she has fully played this role.”

“Well, it’s really amazing,” Roland nodded. Head, but this person is too powerful.

The disgust and contempt she showed towards Irene seemed to be real, even sitting here, she could feel her ruthlessness.

The emotional appeal can be seen from the expressions of the audience… But, she is not the protagonist.

Irene’s originally pretty good performance suddenly paled in front of her. If this continues, I’m afraid the supporting role will surpass the protagonist.

Erin was a little taken aback.

She knew that she had to stand up quickly. May’s monologue was mainly to express her desire for the prince and lead to the court ball. It would not last long, and she had to leave the stage before the scene changed.

But the familiar feeling in the rehearsals in the past has left her, and Irene found the stage so strange for the first time.

Are you on this level?

She didn’t recover until May finished her performance and walked past her, slapping her face with the corners of her fluttering skirt.

The other party didn’t speak, but Irene read this sentence from the cold eyes of the Star of the West.

Eileen knew that May could never pull herself up. The roles of the two of them were in conflict. Once she reached out, the drama would be over.

She bit her lips tightly, with the smell of iron overflowing from her lips. Looking at May’s back disappearing behind the partition, she wanted to get up and follow her away. The opportunity of the wooden barrel whispered in front of her, “The next scene is still yours, continue to act, come on!”

Irene knew that this was against the rules, but it was true…she had already missed the chance to end.

So the audience saw a wonderful change, Cinderella sat motionless on the stage, but the surrounding scene changed from the living room to the basement, the beautiful round table and wooden chairs turned into wine barrels and rattan baskets, people carrying props Back and forth, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com The girl maintained a posture, as if frozen in time.

The next plot is that Cinderella was trapped in the basement, and the witch came to the rescue, not only gave her beautiful clothes, but also summoned a carriage that could directly load her into the palace.

“Remember, the time can only last until midnight. Before the dragon clock strikes, you must leave the palace. Otherwise, the clothes and carriage will disappear.”

“Ah… yes. I see, thank you.”

Irene said at this time Still not out of the daze, she used to hide behind the stage and secretly watched May’s performance. She only thought that this woman who was swaying freely and smiling in front of more than a thousand spectators was very powerful, but when she stood on the stage and faced this When she was a shining star, she fully understood the other party’s amazing strength in acting.

Is this the distance between stars and flowers?

After talking dryly with Luo Xia, the first stage of the play was next: the court ball.

In order to achieve the effect of a grand ball, this scene is also full of appearances-except for her and May, Gait, Sam, Roxia and Tina will all wear masks and dress up as other noble dancers.

And the pretender of His Royal Highness is her lover, Felin Hilt.
