Don't confiscate my citizenship

More than ten minutes later.

The curtain of the main stage of the Brillda Opera House was pulled aside.

The space was dimly lit, and the corners were filled with spare props and decorations, with only a few small lights emitting dim light.

On the floor covered with fire-proof carpet, several staff members in beige work clothes were hurriedly shuttling back and forth.

As the reverberation of the front stage gradually faded, the staff confirmed that the stage was ready with a short-distance intercom device, and then nodded to the actors.

In an instant, the orchestra played the prelude, and the music gradually came through the curtain. A beam of light hit the edge of the curtain and illuminated the steps.

Even in the backstage, the sound on the stage could be heard.

"Lan, Lanqi, what should I do."

At this moment, Lanqi and Talia, the male and female protagonists, were dressed up, ignoring the coming and going of the people around them, and flipping through the script by themselves.

If I can help Abigail.

Maybe her favorability will become very high, whether it is to discuss with her alone or the subsequent affairs, it will be successful for the most part.

But now they all realize how difficult it is to agree to this.

"Remember as much as you can. Fortunately, we have read the original book, and this is just one of the chapters."

Lanqi replied without raising his head.

Although the performance has already begun.

But it is not their turn yet.

The story takes place during the Holy War of the Protoss Empire.

First of all, some historical background should be mentioned.

At the time of the Cinderella chapter, the Holy War had not yet started, and the historical figure Franklin the Great was far from rising, and the pattern of the current world had not yet formed.

At that time, the Protoss Empire and the Demon Realm also had diplomatic relations. Because the Protoss Empire was relatively backward and the Demon Realm was extremely developed, in the Protoss Empire at that time, each demon had a lofty status.

The heroine of the story is a human girl, and the hero is the demon governor who was sent to guide the planning and development of this province.

The heroine, the gray girl, was originally the apple of the eye of the noble family of the Protoss Empire. After her father died, she was treated as a servant by her stepmother and sisters, and she was made difficult in every way.

Life was hard, but she remained kind and optimistic.

One day, the governor held a grand banquet and invited the local nobles of the province to attend and discuss future development matters.

The gray girl was qualified to go, but her stepmother and sister laughed at her, forbade her to attend and gave her all the housework to do. The gray girl could only cry sadly in the corner.

At this time, the kind-hearted Cupid cat appeared.

It is the most magical cat in the world. It uses cards to turn into a gorgeous carriage, pigeons to turn into coachmen and servants, and gives the gray girl a dress and a pair of magic shoes to let her go to the banquet.

But the gray girl must come back before the clock strikes 12 o'clock at midnight, otherwise the magic will fail.

At the banquet, the gray girl and the governor met. At first, the demon governor thought that this beautiful human woman was a fool with nothing but appearance, and wanted to tease her. In the end, he was confused by the clever gray girl. The governor unexpectedly found that this gray-haired girl was a talented woman, and he had a good chat with her unknowingly.

When the clock struck 12, the gray girl almost forgot. She fled in a hurry and accidentally left a magic shoe. The governor was at a loss. He could only find this magic shoe, but it weighed a thousand pounds and no woman could wear it and walk normally.

The gradually fallen governor decided to search for the owner of this shoe in the entire province.

One morning, the stepmother locked the gray girl in the attic. The sister tried the magic shoes but couldn't take a step.

With the help of the love god cat, the gray girl came to the governor and put on the magic shoes easily.

So she was taken back to the governor's mansion by the governor, and then there was the last scene of the gray girl being confessed by the governor.

The story is strictly based on the background of the times.

Since the ancient Protoss Empire learned a lot of knowledge from the demon world, and was ruled and built by the demons after being defeated many years later, many demon heritages were preserved in its territory. From the construction of the imperial capital Helrom in later generations, we can see its indelible demon style.

The Protoss people can neither forgive the demons nor separate their traces, as if it is an eternal entanglement.

But that's all for later.

At the beginning of the story of "Holy War Romance", there was no war, and the demons and Protoss were still on good terms.

But if humans and demons at that time accidentally fell in love, what awaited them in the future would be a rugged road full of snow and thorns...

"I understand the plot, but how should I act it out!"

Talia kept looking at the time. Even though she had some singing and dancing talents of the Great Love Poet and had absorbed all the skills of the Great Love Poet, she felt that she didn't have much hope of passing it in one go because she was performing at the rehearsal.

The only good news is that in order to ensure a smooth performance, the heroine will be played by two actors.

The opening scenes, the gray-faced Cinderella before the transformation, will be played by another actor, and the subsequent scenes of the Cinderella who needs to act with the Governor and dress up gorgeously will all be played by Talia.

So now Talia has a little time to stay backstage to prepare.

"This line is so hard to remember."

Lanqi also scratched his head.

Although he has roughly read the original book of "Holy War Romance", he is a reader after all, and it is impossible for him to remember all the lines after reading it once.

If there is really a catchy part, I am afraid it is only the "confession" at the end of the Cinderella chapter.

"I don't remember it very clearly!"

Thalia had never been in a situation where her head was going to explode.

And when she thought of the "so cute that I want to eat you" part at the end, she felt her cheeks turn red and her heart almost beat uncontrollably.

The two of them looked like students who had not reviewed at all before the final exam. They were sitting in the exam room with five minutes left to take the exam, flipping through the notebook desperately and memorizing every sentence!

…

on stage at the same moment.

Climbing the stairs, you suddenly see the magnificent opera hall in front of you - three-story golden boxes rising along the four walls of the hall.

Thousands of dark velvet seats inlaid with gold edges were intact and filled with enthusiastic spectators.

Music played softly in the background of the stage, the lights slowly turned on, and a spotlight hit the center of the stage.

The gray girl was huddled next to the old stove, wearing a maid outfit, her face full of exhaustion and despair.

"God, I'm so sleepy and hungry... But my stepmother won't let me rest, so I have to work hard... Dad, you have a spirit in heaven, why do you let me suffer like this?"

She choked and whispered to herself,

"It would be great if...if you were still here..."

Cinderella sang a sad song and talked about her misfortune.

"Withered leaves are withering in the cold wind, and I look at the stars with hazy tears. My stepmother hurts my heart with her evil words, but can my father hear it clearly in heaven? My sisters are as mean as demons, and the bullying and humiliation are endless. The fireworks in the kitchen burn my eyes, and the dust on my face cannot be washed away..."

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Cinderella's singing.

She hurriedly got up and opened the door.

The governor's demon messenger strutted in.

"According to the decree of the Governor, a grand banquet will be held at the Governor's Mansion tonight. All invitees from the province can participate. Your Excellency the Governor will then select his favorite wife among the girls of the right age."

The demon messenger preached with great enthusiasm,

"Alas, if the Governor hadn't gone against the demon world, he wouldn't have said such angry words and wanted to marry a human."

After he finished speaking, he no longer looked majestic and sighed in an undetectable voice.

The messenger dropped the invitation and turned around to leave.

The gray girl watched him go away, holding the invitation in her hand, overjoyed.

"Goddess, thank you. This is my chance to make a comeback. As long as I meet the governor, I will be able to impress him with my knowledge and convince him to help me revive my family."

The gray girl was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, the stepmother and sister came from the shadows on the side of the stage after hearing the news. They strode forward and fiercely snatched the invitation from the gray girl's hand.

"Hey, is this just a banquet worth making a fuss about? With your shabby look, the Governor will be scared away when he sees it!"

The stepmother sneered disdainfully.

"That's right, how can there be any joke in the world about wearing rags to a dance party?!"

"Little gray wild cat, you'd better go ahead and have your sweet dream, don't embarrass our whole family!"

The eldest sister agreed and the younger sister scoffed.

"Listen to me, stay at home tonight and do all the housework for me! If you dare to go to the dance, I will break your legs!"

The stepmother warned fiercely.

The three of them finished with the Gray Girl and walked away from the stage triumphantly.

The spotlight only illuminated the figure of the girl in pitch black and gray.

"Woooo..."

The gray girl looked sad and burst into tears.

She sang in a plaintive voice.

"So many bitter tears have flowed, and all the ambitions and dreams have ceased. The ashes of the remaining candles have been used up tonight, and my eyes in the mirror are haggard. How can I, a humble and humble person, be worthy of seeing the governor? Even if I have extravagant hopes, I regret that I have no wings... …”

The gray girl stretched out her hand in vain as she sang, as if to retain hope, but was unable to lower it.

She collapsed on the ground and cried loudly, full of great sadness.

As night fell, the stepmother and sisters dressed up and set out for the dance.

The gray girl stayed at home alone and fell asleep in the flickering candlelight.

At this point, there was a round of applause from the stage.

So far so normal.

Both the actors' skills and the performance of the opera are at the top level, making the audience in the performance hall feel that tonight's tickets are worth their money.

This scene is not over yet.

The gray girl dressed like a refugee fell asleep by the fire, cold and hungry.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, and the Cat Immortal came in all directions. He looked like an orc from the black cat tribe, with the head of a cat and the body of a cat, wearing psychedelic cloud clothes, holding a law staff, and exuding misty fairy energy all over his body.

"Child, don't cry, your kindness is seen by God. I am the messenger of the God of Love and Will, and I will use my magic to help you."

The cat fairy floated along with the fairy music, gently awakening the gray girl who was leaning by the coal stove.

"Messenger of the God of Love?"

The gray girl is like waking up from a dream,

"Have you heard the call from the bottom of my heart? Can I...can I really see the person who saves me?"

"Don't worry, kid. As long as you believe in wishes and dreams, everything is possible. Come quickly, cards and carrier pigeons come to me!"

The Cat Immortal smiled lovingly, waved his staff, and a golden light flashed through.

Countless playing cards flew in front of it to form a magnificent carriage like a house of cards. A group of black and white homing pigeons surrounded its knees, transforming into uniformed maids. The gray girl was also tightly obscured by the clouds and mist, and she took the opportunity to run back to the stage. back.

Next, just let the dressed-up Gray Princess appear, and you can achieve a perfect change and start the next scene.

"Magical staff, obey my orders!"

The Cat Immortal waved his staff and chanted a spell loudly.

"Can-love-change-body-!"

He finished the incantation.

Light bursts.

But when the light mist dissipated, nothing happened, and there was no trace of the Gray Princess on the stage.

There was no movement from the background direction either.

The Cat Immortal was stunned for a moment and looked around.

He quickly waved the staff again, the light mist filled the air again, and the music started playing.

"The night breeze blows gently, and the petals are scattered. O God of love, your voice gently washes away the world."

This is a sacred dance dedicated to and imitated by the God of Love.

The sound of prayers passed through the square and reached the top of the stage.

"Under your care, fate continues to grow."

The Cat Immortal chanted loudly,

"What a lovely transformation!"

"..."

It wasn't just the stage that was quiet this time.

The auditorium was also quiet.

"My cute transformation!"

The Cat Immortal still didn't believe in evil and spun his staff in a big circle.

Gray Princess still didn't show up.

"Change again!"

"Change it!!"

"Why don't you come out!"

…

Backstage at this time.

The actors and prop crew were busy going back and forth.

Occasionally, a cast member passes by and notices the male and female actors reciting their lines.

"Why don't you two get started?"

"One more look, just one look."

Thalia's hands almost broke the notebook.

Theoretically, Talia could go on stage first, and Lan Qi would tell her how to pronounce the lines backstage, but Lan Qi was also crossing the river now, racing against time to carry the lines, so it was impossible to help Talia.

They all regretted agreeing to Abigail just now.

I heard that those actors stayed up all night memorizing lyrics and rehearsed for hundreds of hours before reaching the performance standards.

How many words can they remember in just a few minutes!

…

Mansion in Nistro, Province of Thuringia.

The curtains on the first floor glow with a warm light, like a family gathering.

Magic wallpaper screen in the living room.

"Uh, why is the forward swing so long?"

Huberian sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds, waiting for the next scene to begin.

"It's like this. You have to whet your appetite before the exciting plot. It's already good without commercial breaks."

Sinora explained to Hyperion.

However, she is still looking forward to the appearance of the male protagonist, the Governor, in case he is a super handsome guy.

Now she not only pays attention to the handsome boy's face, but also cares about his inner nature and temperament. After thinking about it carefully, Lanqi is unique in this aspect, but Lanqi is so perfect that Sinola feels that he is a bit unreal, and she has no expectations.

"But why do I feel like this guy on stage is going crazy?"

Antanas pointed at the screen and said.

She saw that this cat fairy had danced all kinds of dances, except for street dancing.

"It's probably not a performance accident. It's normal for the release version to have special easter eggs."

The Ice Witch stared at the book in her hand, listening most of the time and occasionally raising her head.

Under the promotion of the new executive officer, the Brilda Opera House attaches great importance to media and educational promotion, carries out various educational projects, and popularizes the art of opera. The "Global Live" project will broadcast live performances to media terminals and theaters around the world through high-definition films. Wire.

The Opera House occasionally provides lectures, seminars, behind-the-scenes tours and other activities, attracting audiences of all ages, and has a high social influence.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators come to watch the performance every year, and it has become one of the most popular high-end cultural centers in Brilda. Accidents at large-scale performances are simply not possible.

…

Just like that, a while passed.

"I change, change, change—!"

The sound that was about to break in front of the stage kept echoing behind the curtain.

"What are you doing?!"

Abigail ran back from the audience to the backstage, saw Thalia still dawdling there, and got angry and said,

"Auntie, come on stage!!"

Abigail pushed Thalia and pushed her towards the curtain.

"Hey! Lan Qi, save me!"

Thalia turned back, walking forward, her eyes full of distress signals, and said.

She felt like she was so nervous that she couldn't remember a word.

"..."

Lan Qi was still immersed in memorizing it. At least one of them had to remember the lines.

He believes that no matter what situation he encounters, he can come around.
