Chapter 1504: Hamilton and the Actress

~10 min read 1,905 words

Miss Galina was quite troubled:

"My nephew cannot easily leave Tobesk City. It is possible that for the negotiations at that time, I will take Lei Qianya's brothers to represent the royal family. If that is really the case, I will really have no rest time this spring."

"Will Lei Qianya not be sent?"

Xia De asked curiously. The Princess, who was holding his hand, was leaning on Xia De's shoulder at this time. Because Miss Galina was on the other side, she naturally couldn't see what Xia De's hand was doing, but Ajilina beside Lei Qianya could clearly see Xia De's hand dancing on those beautiful long stockings.

"Father will definitely not send me. Since it was me who went to Willendale last summer, this time it definitely won't be me." "Understood, for the sake of balance."

Xia De nodded.

"You really understand everything. Sometimes I will sigh, where exactly did you get such knowledge?"

The witch took Xia De's other hand and then kissed Xia De's cheek lightly. Xia De originally thought Lei Qianya would be angry, but Miss Galina stood up after kissing, and then greeted the maids in the room to go to the side room to rest with her:

"I won't disturb your date time. Wait a while longer; I'm afraid Lei Qianya will take the initiative to drive us away, which would be too indecent." The golden eyes winked playfully at her grandniece:

"The knight's hand has temperature, right?"

Lei Qianya didn't care about her at all; anyway, the person who took advantage was her. "Ajilina, what are you sitting here for?"

The Princess asked her sister curiously again. The little princess then realized and stood up, and then followed Miss Galina out of the room, looking back at every step.

After everyone left and the doors leading to the side room and the corridor were locked, the Princess kicked off her high heels lightly and then wrapped her hands around Xia De's neck and sat in his arms.

"Ring Equestrian Competition, you must win." The beautiful eyes in the darkness looked at Xia De:

"Not for Dralian, nor for any honor, just for me and Dorothy. Dorothy and I have already discussed it; at the banquet after the competition, if you hope to spend an interesting time, don't let us down, knight."

She pulled Xia De's tie, pulling Xia De to lower his head and kiss her. The Princess's mood seemed exceptionally high tonight, so much so that when this kiss ended, Xia De even suspected that his lips had been bitten.

The performance time of the opera "Lovers of the Zhong Lou" staged tonight was a total of two and a half hours. Because of the success of this performance, after the last act ended, the actors went on stage together to bow, and they bowed five times before calming down the excited emotions of the audience.

The lights above the audience seats turned on again, and the people who had recovered from the opera bathed in the light, feeling that they had experienced a brand new strange life.

The lights in the private box above the audience seats had also turned on at this time. In the central room, the maids walked in one after another to clean up the traces and help the Princess organize her clothes, while Ajilina was obediently helping Lei Qianya organize her hair behind her.

Xia De buttoned his coat and stood up when he saw Miss Galina standing at the door beckoning to him: "Young people are really hot-tempered... follow me, there is something else tonight."

"What thing?"

"An uncontained relic appeared in the opera house. I also got the news this morning. Fortunately, my relationship with the Maria Queen Opera House is not bad; to be precise, I have 27% of the shares here. That relic is still in the back now. Come with me to see what it is."

Since she said so, Xia De had no reason to refuse. It was just that he thought about the probability of him, as a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, encountering an ownerless relic alone was really too small. Not to mention compared with a Chosen One like Iruna who had to face challenges almost every day, even compared with ordinary Ring Mages, the probability of him encountering a relic was too low.

Since he was going to leave with Miss Galina, Xia De naturally had to explain his whereabouts to Lei Qianya. The Princess, who was already satisfied, looked a bit lazy at this time and waved at Xia De:

"Since it is a relic, you go and see it with her. I won't say goodbye to you. In a while, Ajilina and I will go directly back to Yodel Palace. Knight, tonight was very nice."

This made Xia De have an illusion that he was abandoned after playing his role. But fortunately, Lei Qianya still remembered to get up and send him off with a kiss. The Princess's wet kiss was very pleasing.

The structure of the Maria Opera House in Tobesk is very similar to the Wilde Opera House in Randel Valley. The performance hall of the opera house can connect the audience seats and the backstage. Besides that, only the guarded passage can directly enter the backstage from the front of the opera house to prevent actors from being harassed during the performance.

Although Miss Galina did not arrange her followers in the opera house to monitor at any time, she also had her own eyes and intelligence network locally, so the news of the relic was passed to her because of this.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if your teacher, the thirteen-ring female sorceress Miss Danister, has mentioned this to you." As the servants passed through the side door at the end of the corridor and entered the backstage, Miss Galina also said to Xia De in a low voice:

"Since the spring of last year, the frequency of relic loss of control, Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi loss of control, and natural disasters in the material world has clearly increased. When the Church summarized the work of the year at the end of last year, they discovered this point. The basic Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi squad like Iruna had long ago noticed that the accident rate for the whole of last year was not right."

The photos of the curtain calls of each performance were hung on the walls on both sides of the backstage corridor, and the golden nameplates marked the time and the repertoire. Xia De scanned them with his peripheral vision:

"Miss Danister didn't mention it, but I heard Iruna complain about it. She was transferred from the Holy See to work in the spring of last year. According to her, her friends in other dioceses also thought that last year, the frequency of strange things happening was a bit too high."

Xia De answered. This should also belong to the influence of the start of the epic of the Sixth Era. This is the real world, not the stage of an opera; it is impossible to only have problems in one place while other places are calm.

However, the story of the Chosen One clearly started in the summer of last year after the Outlander arrived, which Luweiya can confirm. And Miss Galina said that since the spring of 1853, the frequency of various things happening had increased significantly.

"It's 1853 spring again, the season a year ago, really happened a lot of things..."

The news of the Duchess coming to the backstage had already been notified to the theater. Hearing the news, the theater manager came over, wiping sweat, when they entered the backstage corridor.

That was a somewhat plump gentleman, wearing a black formal suit outside a fashionable plaid shirt. The silver watch chain extending from the pocket on his chest was tied to the third button from the top, and there was a monocle on his right eye, with a small chain hanging down from the right side of the frame. He wore a high-top silk black top hat that seemed to be able to hide a rabbit, which looked like a magician's attire.

He obviously knew that Duchess Galina Cavendish did not like the approach of strange men, so he stopped by the wall at a relatively far distance: "Duchess, welcome to your arrival, please forgive our poor hospitality. May I ask, you are..."

The fat manager who couldn't guess Miss Galina's thoughts bowed slightly. Miss Galina didn't speak, and Tifa explained with a smile:

"Mr. Neser, good evening. Mr. Xia De Hamilton is very interested in the heroine of tonight's opera and wants to see that beautiful girl in the backstage, so Miss Galina followed him here."

"Hmm?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, but did not speak to oppose.

The theater manager, Mr. Neser, was also very surprised. He certainly knew the relationship between Xia De and Miss Galina, and now almost no one in the city didn't know, but he was still surprised by the Duchess's doting on her "lover":

"Okay, no problem, the 'Alice Opera Troupe' performing tonight will also be very happy to be taken a fancy to by 'Hamilton of Rejiede'. Oh, may I ask, which heroine does Mr. Hamilton want to see?"

The fat man asked while wiping sweat, and in the "Lovers of the Zhong Lou" just now, the role of the male knight was also

played by a woman, so the female actors who could be called protagonists were indeed two.

"He wants them all."

Tifa said with a decent smile without changing her expression:

"We will wait in Makeup Room 5. They must be wearing makeup, wearing costumes, and exactly the same as they were on the stage just now. Only give you twenty minutes to prepare; Mr. Hamilton doesn't have more patience."

Xia De felt that his reputation in Tobesk City would become much worse after today. "Moreover, no matter what happens tonight, the Duchess does not hope that others will know." Tifa added.

This sentence sounded to Xia De to be to prevent more movements when the relic was contained, but to the people in the theater, it sounded like something unspeakable would happen here in a while.

"Is that so? Okay, okay, I understand."

The manager, Mr. Neser, wiped sweat and nodded, and then watched them enter Makeup Room 5. The two female attendants of Miss Galina stood at the door, forbidding others from coming in, and the twenty-minute countdown had already started at this time.

"It's this."

There are many makeup rooms in the Maria Queen Opera House, and Makeup Room 5 is the kind of large room that can accommodate at least twenty people to put on makeup. The tables with mirrors were arranged together in three rows, with seven tables in each row.

And the reason why it was twenty tables and not twenty-one was because the makeup mirror of the corner table had already shattered, and before replacing it with a new one, it was placed in the corner as a debris table. ===== CHAPTER 1505 =====

The reason there were twenty tables instead of twenty-one was that the vanity mirror on the corner table had shattered, and until it was replaced with a new one, it was placed in the corner to be used as a table for miscellaneous items.
