Theater Star (Part 2)
Chapter 186:Theater Star (Part 2)
At first sight, May immediately left her immediate intention to return.
“Oh my God, May, May!”As she approached, Irene exclaimed incredulously, then took her hand and pulled it up to the knight, “Darling, do you know who she is?”She is the most famous actor in the Fortress Theatre, Miss Mayy!People who want to see her perform can line up in the halls of the theater into the street!”
Although the dear made May's heart jump, but the habit of acting all year round made her reflexively raised her mouth and nodded a little, "Hello."
"Of course I know, you said she was the most famous actor, who among the nobility in the West did not know the name of the theater star," he sighed, and apologized to May, "my wife was rude."I'm Phil, hello."
He did not register, did not report his identity, and even his last name was hidden.May's heart is full of sadness, but on the surface still maintains the most elegant appearance, "I know you."The first knight of the West in everyone's mouth, "the morning light", Sir Philin Hilt.It's a shame that I couldn't attend your wedding to Irene because of the tension."
"That's all in the past," said the knight, shaking his head with a smile. "I'm a teacher now, and I'm no longer a Hilt family. You don't need to be so polite."Then he said to the others, "Go back and talk, you have applied for the place where you are staying."
The teacher?May is a court teacher?The lord of this town is indeed a prince, but the fallen prince does not find a knight to take on this position.What does it mean to apply for a temporary stay?Shouldn’t Irene take a group of people to a safe and secure hotel accommodation in the area?
Before I could think about these questions, Irene had come up to me, “Oh my God, I didn’t expect you to come here.”If Cinderella is played by you, it will be a sensation.”
“Is it?”May couldn’t say, a name for a play that had never been heard, presumably by which newcomer playwright.And she didn't have time to rehearse the drama, to come here... just to see how the dawn morning light is going, maybe she has a place to help him.
After entering the town, May found something wrong, a barren town that is clearly located outside the border, serving as a fortress outpost, why does it look like an emerging city?There was gray-black gravel everywhere on the road, not to be seen on a little mud, and the streets were too wide to pass almost side by side by two carriages.
“What path is this?”Sam asked her the doubt, "Go away and be smooth."
"Hey," Irene smiled, "I was still mud here when I first came, and now it's like this."And this is not the way, and listening to the stonemasons, it is only the foundation of the way."
"They're you," Retorted Lochart, "only the house needs a foundation, and what lies on the ground, it will not collapse, what the foundation will be."
"Really, they tucked together with a gray powder and stone, sprinkled and pressed it with a stone roll until the ground was leveled.I began to think that this was a new way of building roads, but the mason said that this was the practice of His Royal Highness the Prince, which seemed to be called ... what layer of water, in any case, is the basis!"Irene with her back to lead the way in front, long braids swinging and dangling, "there are more people and cars to walk, here will be paved with slate ground, that is the real road."
The slate floor, May's heart laughed, in addition to the inner city of the king's capital, what city can spread a piece of area on the slate?It is good to have this wide and flat road.There is a lot of mud in the long song fortress.
As she went deep into the town, she saw that many houses on both sides of the road were being demolished, mud houses and wooden houses, although not a new house, but far from being uninhabitable, "they are driven away by the lord because they blocked the street?" 」
"No, they're all moving to the neighborhood."
“The community?”May asked, “What is that?”
“The newly built residential area, which is the same masonry house in it,” Irene explained, “all the indigenous people can be divided into one, and then there will be no broken houses in the town.”
A brick house that everyone can share?May couldn’t believe her ears, which was more exaggerated than the slate floor, and did she have a concept of how it would cost to build such a house?In front of Filin, Mei had to swallow words into her stomach.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and they occasionally stopped and greeted Irene and Filin.May found that Irene also appeared to be a so-called teacher.
“Aren’t you going to play a show here?”She asked, “Why do the townspeople call you Mr. Irene?”
"That's my job, the drama is just part-time, the town has no theater," Irene recounted the summoning of His Royal Highness the Prince, "although it is an open-air performance, and the audience is also a civilian, but the salary is calculated according to the standards of the fortress."I think it's a good opportunity to at least exercise yourself."
"Yes, I'm happy to be on stage."Gat and Sam nodded.
Showing for civilians!May simply had no strength to speak, and she could not understand what His Royal Highness, the prince who came up with the idea, than Irene, who was going to do, and those who lived every day to eat could understand the love and twists of the play?
In this way, a group of people came to a two-story building.
"This is a teacher's building, but there are only nine teachers in the border town, so there are still a lot of empty rooms, and Filin has applied for temporary accommodation for you two houses, and you live here during the performance."Irene handed out two keys, "One for Gat and Sam, one for Rosia and Tina, uh, in Miss Maye's words..."
“I’ll stay with you.”May opens up.
“But...”
“I’m here to see how my fellow theaters are doing,” she said, smiling, “after all, working together at the theater for so long, and you’re probably not going back to the fortress again, and I want to talk to you more.”You don’t always hate me, do you?”
“Certainly not!”Irene took her hand cheerfully, “I’m just worried that the room is too small for you to live in.I have a lot of things to show for you.”Then she turned her head and said to the other four, "Let's put your luggage first, and then go to my house and sit down and read the script together."
May climbed up to the second floor and followed Irene and Filin into their new home.
Her last twilight of expectations was also shattered.
Although I do not want to admit it, but this small room does reveal a comfortable and clean feeling, tablecloths and curtains are obviously newly purchased, are red and white thin cotton cloth, the floor is clean, in the living room position is also covered with a linen carpet.There were a few strange cups on the low table in the living room, which caught May's attention at a glance.She stepped forward and took a closer look, and for a moment could not identify its light weight, a bit like wood, but the surface was smooth and full of color, not like a cheap product that was affordable for civilians.There is also a pattern on the cup, which seems to be a close together between two people.
“It’s a beautiful glass, right?”Irene came up and said, "It's too expensive, selling five silver wolves in the convenience market, four of them, and the posture of the people in the pattern is different."Philin said that in order to celebrate payday, he had to buy it for me, and he used up all his salary.That fool."
“The people’s market?”May ignored each other’s last words.
“Hmm!”She nodded, "The Lord's market in the town square, selling some very fine daily necessities, but the price is not low, I can take you to see tomorrow."
May's heart is full of five flavors, and everything is completely different from what she expected.She thought that as a defeated and prisoner, there was no ransom, even if she was released by the lord, the days must have been very difficult.Irene had no savings on weekdays, so he could not help him except to suffer with him.
Any assistance given by himself at this time, for Philin Hilt, can have the effect of sending charcoal in the snow.If you can go further, with their own influence to persuade the local lords, let her redeem the first knight, may be able to completely reverse the knight's heart.
However, she found that her vision had all failed, and the other party did not need her help at all, and she could live well in the border town.
So to go back?Choose to leave this place and forget Filing and the border town together.
May is in the middle of a fascination. If you like this work, you are welcome to start, and your support is my biggest motivation.Mobile phone users please read.)
