Under the starry night, the wide mirror lake is brightly lit with countless lights reflecting the sparkling waves, making the entire royal city as bright as day, and the rivers, parks, docks, and other public areas are filled with delicacies for the subjects to use at will. The citizens and merchants of the city took to the streets, gathered around the suspended stages, and participated in the carnival with singing and dancing.

The Ekhtaton Theatre was also lit up at this time, with a circle of floating neon lights slowly rotating along the building, and beams of heterochromatic light were continuously emitted, intertwining into a beautiful seven-color light curtain over the theater.

The Grand Theatre is exteriorly three sets of tall stone forts, resting on a concrete pedestal, surrounded by squares and parks.

The area is huge, with large lawns, large flower beds, fountains and mirror-shaped ponds, large and small lakes and open canals. There are also countless lifelike beings, men and beasts, statues and bronze sculptures of white marble, scattered in the woods and under the fountains, on the walls and roofs of the buildings, showing a myriad of forms to passers-by.

Thousands of palms and conifers, planted in pots, are distributed along the staggered promenade. Huge flower beds and jungles, wide boulevards in between, very breathable and refreshing, pleasing to the eye.

The entrance to the complex is at the southern end, with a large and long staircase leading downward, and the adjutant Rennie stands tall at the end of the staircase, with his short burgundy hair tucked behind his ears and flaming red flowers pinned to his chest, receiving distinguished guests in the name of the royal family.

Tonight, she wore a long blue dress, her chest tightened and outlined beautiful lines, but the back was a large openwork that exposed snow-white skin. The long legs under the fishtail skirt are half hidden and half exposed with the slit, and the feet are stepping on a pair of red high heels with blue laces, which looks beautiful like a mermaid.

"May the glory of my king overshadow you. ”

An old man dressed in a high-class sacrificial robe walked up the steps, presented the invitation, and bowed respectfully to her.

"Have a good time, Mr. Sacrificial. ”

Renee smiled back, then moved out of the way and watched the priest walk down the corridor behind her.

Soon, she heard approaching footsteps again, and quickly turned around, only to see a group of strangely matched guests.

It's no secret that at this state dinner-level opera evening, the guests are either one or a couple – but these guests are different, they are a triangular line-up of two men and one woman.

The trio all have purple-black hair and recognizable brown eyes, indicating their distinctive royal status.

The burly young man on the left, dressed in a modest dress, was Oz, who was currently serving as a senior officer in the Sacred Army.

The tall and thin young man on the right, with sparse eyebrows, slightly upturned lips, and a smile on his face, was called Ptolemy. He was more noble than Oz, serving as the Empire's cabinet member - and trusted by the Sun King, equating to the prime minister under one man and above ten thousand.

Sandwiched between the two companions, the beautiful girl with the 'male' on the left and right is Yamanla, a more precious technical talent who has just become the director of the Imperial Mecha Research Center.

Seeing Renny looking straight at him, Yamanra was slightly embarrassed at this time, looking left and right to see who to hold his hand. In the end, he simply stepped forward, let the two men behind him match a pair, stepped on the stairs first, trotted to Renny and handed over the invitation:

"Good evening, Miss Rennie. ”

"Good evening. ”

Renee looked at her teasingly, checked the invitation, and leaned into Yamanla's ear and whispered:

"It's not an option, you'd better make up your mind before they get angry. ”

"I see!"

Yamanla blushed and nodded vigorously, then took back the invitation, shook her long hair vigorously, and walked into the corridor without looking back.

"Yamanla!

"Yamanla!

Oz and Ptolemy exclaimed in unison, then turned their heads left and right, glaring at each other with fiery eyes. Like two bulls with horns, wrestling with their eyes while handing in invitations.

"Please come inside, I hope you have a nice night. ”

Since these two people are well-known in the upper circles, Renny knows them, and he didn't check the invitations much, so he let the two of them in.

"I warn you in your capacity as a cabinet participant, don't disturb my date with Yamanla, or tomorrow there will be a demolition team to blow up your house. ”

"Stinky and shameless, Yamanla obviously wants to date me, what's your business!? Also, don't put on a prime minister's shelf with me, our Holy Army is not under the control of your cabinet! If you want to demolish the house, try it, if you demolish my house, I will demolish your bones!"

"Oh, Yamanra is an intellectual girl, how can I look up to you muscular orangutan. ”

"I'm a standard body type, and only a skinny monkey like you would think I'm like an orangutan. ”

As usual, the two of them are still needle-to-needle, and when they meet, they are desperately fighting each other, neither of them will take a step back, so they spray each other and stride into the corridor.

"You two! Failure to be a king is a serious crime!" Seeing that they were becoming more and more disagreeable, Renee warned loudly.

With this kind reminder, the two barely kept their mouths shut, and at the same time squeezed out an embarrassed but polite smile and caught up with Yamanra's figure.

"What about your usual IQ? Renee looked at the backs of the three of them, and saw that the shadows behind them were intertwined with each other, forming an elongated diagonal triangle, and immediately sighed and shook his head: "What a perfect triangle." ”

One-one-one-one-one-one

At eight o'clock in the evening, the song and dance party officially began.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and a majestic concerto sounded on the circular stage, mixed with a drum beat resembling the galloping of horses, like a spring thunder, followed by the fast and rapid melody of the violin, and the lights on the stage gradually dimmed from red to purple, and finally only a few silver beams of light fell on the violinist on the stage.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano turned and became soothing and serene......

In the soft light, the costumed singers strode onto the stage with their heads held high, bowed slightly, and ushered in a round of applause.

In the soft melody of the violin, the singer opens his mouth and sings:

"You appear on this earth, and you shine the sun on people's faces. ”

"Channel night to day, and pure gold will not be able to match your brilliance. ”

"All eyes see because of you, and when the great you land, the demons do nothing. ”

"Thy light opens clear eyes and gives life to all things. ”

"You rise, you shine! The heavens roll aside!"

"You are the king of the gods, you are the god of all. ”

"We are from you, and we are honored among you. ”

"Thy grace comes out at dawn and washes hearts with laughter. ”

"The sacred wind, with its music, blew through the golden sky. ”

"Rise up the dead and sing a salute to the sun!"

"Praise be to you, great sun god, and praise you for your amazing ascent!"

The song poured into the sea like a rushing river, and the violin melody fluttered in all directions. It seems to be able to cleanse the soul and refresh people's spirits, and their skin trembles for it. Many audience members couldn't help but sway to the rhythm and indulge in the singing.

This is the Ode to the Sun of Menes' worship to the sun god, and the singer uses a gorgeous singing voice to combine classical and pop elements, singing the feeling that the sun has risen and shone all things for hundreds of millions of years.

The song tugged at everyone's consciousness and vibrated together, blending into the solemn song along with the melody. The audience couldn't help but think of the many tribulations that the Menes Empire had experienced over the years, and they almost cried for it.

On the special seat at the highest level of the opera house, the Sun King, who was in the spotlight, also had a serious face, and couldn't help nodding slightly to the rhythm, looking as intoxicated by the singer's singing voice as everyone else.

In fact, he had been wandering the world for a long time, and he had been thinking about what he should do next. The seemingly intoxicated expression is just a disguise to show that he is listening carefully.

Elu Lomei, who was sitting next to Evan, was the same, listening carefully on the surface, but in fact she didn't have the heart to appreciate the music, her current experience was all about cultivation, and she just wanted to break through the current level as soon as possible and get rid of the dilemma of being protected.

I don't know how long it took, but the vigorous and powerful song finally stopped slowly. Silence quickly returned to the halls of some of the hustle and bustle, and everyone looked at the special seats in confusion.

As is customary, at the end of a program, His Majesty the Sun King should reward him once. But His Majesty had no intention of coming to the stage at the moment, he sat still in place, just nodded lightly subconsciously.

After a while, realizing that the atmosphere in the opera house was not right, Evan realized that the song had ended, and hurriedly said:

"It's so good to sing, I can't help but be intoxicated. In order not to spoil the atmosphere created by the artists, continue to be on the show, and the rewards will be distributed at the end of the party. ”

Hearing him say this, the atmosphere in the opera house was revived, and the guests praised His Majesty for his compassion for the artist, believing that he did not want the cabaret to be stenched with copper, so he changed the old rules.

......

"Next, let's welcome the Sophia sisters from Eton! They will perform the traditional dance of Eton, the Dance of Fire, for us! Let's welcome them with the warmest applause!"

With the emcee's enthusiastic words, a red-haired young man walked onto the stage silently and stood in front of a piano.

Under the astonished gaze of the guests, he politely bowed slightly, his eyes swept over the auditorium with a cold look, glanced at the special seat where the Sun King was located, and quickly looked away at the slightest contact.

The red-haired young man sat down in silence at the piano, his hands on the keys, and silently pressed them.

It was as if a silver bottle burst into the music and suddenly sounded, reverberating crisply under the keys and resounding in everyone's ears.

At this moment, a spotlight hit the red-haired boy, and then quickly extinguished.

In the dim light, a slender figure of a woman appeared in the center of the stage.

It was a redhead with a butterfly-like white mask, her beautiful double ponytails combed into a spiral and falling from her shoulders, a black lace armband around her upper arm, a black neck ornament around her snow-white neck, and a snow-white dress that was stacked from the end of the skirt to the top of the skirt, like a cake, down to the waist.

The whole skirt is getting narrower and narrower from the end to the waist, becoming the lower end of the skirt is swollen and the upper end of the skirt is slender - this size contrast just sets off the beautiful line of the waist.

The moment the girl appeared, Evan looked over with some feeling, and said to himself silently:

"What a nice woman...... It's very much to my taste. ”

The figure of the red-haired woman suddenly raised her hand above her head, her slender left leg swept open the skirt and lifted it upward, completing a straight, graceful kick, and her dancing shoes tapped the floor, spinning gently like a swan treading water.

The dancing dancer moves softly and delicately, with a heart-consuming beauty, and the gorgeous skirt swirls and dances with her movements, rising and falling with her bounced legs and spinning in a row, like a flower that sometimes blooms and sometimes withers.

The crisp notes of the piano rained down and turned into ripples that spread in all directions, converging on each other in the flowing air, leaving an intoxicating resonance.

Soft notes flow in all directions, filling every inch of the opera house.

Like a trickle of water flowing to the hearts of everyone, as the music gradually rises, the melody changes intensively in that rhythm, revealing a high-spirited sonorous rhythm. The dancer's movements are getting faster and faster, and her movements change from soft to passionate, like falling leaves in the wind.

The wonderful figure swayed, and the flying movement was like a phantom in the fog.

In the process, her snow-white costume gradually turned red, and seemed to be heating up with the notes, turning into a raging flame.

“......”

The red-haired young man stared at his sister, his gaze cold and persistent, and the speed of his finger pressing suddenly slowed.

The notes swirled subtly, soothing and gentle again, giving everyone time to breathe, and then began to climb a little again, turning into fiery echoes.

Immediately after, the notes burst.

The heavy sound of the piano weighed on everyone's hearts, like a rushing heat wave, stuffing a flame in the hearts of all the audience.

On the stage, the bejeweled and beautiful dancer danced as if drunk, her green starry eyes shimmered calmly, and she was dressed in a red costume like a flame, and her dance steps swirled like a burning flame.

She stepped on the heart-warming rhythm, like a torch swaying in the wind, and her flaming red skirt seemed to completely cover the entire stage, making people want to plunge into it.

Until the last crisp recital, everything came to an abrupt end, and the notes that had almost burned slowly dissipated.

The dancers stopped dancing at the same time, then closed their eyes and fell to the ground like withered petals, their bewitching skirts spread flat on the surface of the stage like lotus leaves.

The opera house was quiet again, and only the guests were left breathing.

After a long time, the applause sounded like a torrential rain.
