That's true.

Cajun Fess is still the man Mei is familiar with, at least theatrically, with a very pure conviction. It is precisely because of this belief that she will not hide her disappointment, and will not change her words because she needs her help.

Vacating space for his troupe in exchange for a perfect performance seems like a no-brainer for those who genuinely love theatre.

But she found that she couldn't easily say the word.

It was as if something was stopping her.

Maye closed her eyes, and the girl's voice faintly came from her ears.

"Lady Lannis, please wait for me......

"This is my thank you gift, please accept it......

Then someone handed her a salted fish.

At that moment, Maye suddenly understood what was stopping her.

She opened her eyes and met the gaze of the master of drama.

This time, she no longer had the slightest hint of evasion.

There are many ways to get rid of the answer, first affirming your appreciation, then using the "but" as a twist, and then explaining the nature of the Shadow projection or telling His Majesty that the play is the work of His Majesty the King.

Caquin Fes knew very little about Neverwinter, he didn't know what was special about the Starflower Troupe, nor did he understand the importance that His Majesty valued for theater, so he could be said to have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. If she can explain it clearly, she can not only reverse the misunderstanding of these people, but even have a chance to redeem a lot of Master Kajin's disappointment.

But Maye knew in her heart that this was just another escape.

"Mr. Kakin, is your performance just for His Majesty?"

"And the nobles, ministers, and lords who have come to congratulate," Kargin nodded, "and if there is no audience to match it, no matter how wonderful the performance is, it is meaningless." ”

Just like gold with jewelry, good wine with jade cups, the actor's smile, every cheek, every move, has its own meaning in it, only a careful and dedicated connoisseur can taste the difference between excellence and perfection.

As it should be.

"Then I beg my pardon for not being able to promise you," said May, "because what you are acting in is not a perfect play." ”

"What...... "The old man frowned, "you haven't even seen it, how did you come to this conclusion?"

"Because no matter how wonderful it is, those people are just watching it—" she felt a power welling up in her heart, "and they would applaud and praise it, and they would talk about it at their leisure, but that was all." This drama is only a small part of their many entertainments, and without it there would be no change in their lives—how can it be perfect if it is just a nice-to-have?"

Cajun Fez's face sank, for the creator, drama is equivalent to his own child, no one can easily accept this kind of evaluation, "I thought you were just lost in the pursuit of fame, but I didn't expect to learn the arrogance of the world." Listen to you, could it be that you have ever seen what the perfect drama looks like?"

"I haven't seen it," said May, "but I know what it's supposed to look like." ”

Kajin stared at her, his gaze was like a sharp blade, and he had a sense of oppression like a mountain after years of accumulation, which was enough to make the younger generations of the theater world fearful.

It was clear that the other party was waiting for her to explain further, and this was an answer that could easily lose points, or rather, it was impossible to satisfy the other party no matter how it was answered.

But Maye didn't back down.

She also knew that when she said the next words, she would be completely on a different path—one they had never seen and could not understand. This means that she will part ways with most people in the theater world, let alone be disappointed, and I am afraid that all the past feelings will end, and she will not be able to integrate with them again.

It's a lot of money, isn't it?

She asked herself.

Then another voice answered her.

"But it's worth it. 」

"A good play shouldn't be just a thing to watch, an entertainment that only comes into the aristocracy's free time;

"The Witch's Diaries" gives the public a chance to learn about the life of a witch and thus remove the stigma that does not belong to them, "Dawn" encourages people to participate in the work and say goodbye to poverty and hunger, and "New City" is an intuitive way for new immigrants to accept the rules of Neverwinter, and it also leaves a place for the street rats who roam there. And "A Hero's Life" ......"

After a pause, she said slowly, "To re-energize a grieving little girl and devote herself to a new life – I think there are not a few people like her who have lost loved ones in the war, and I am glad to be able to help them through drama, no matter how many people have been changed by it." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say......" Kajin said in a deep voice.

"You've told me that the best drama is one that immerses the audience in a character's life, but now I want them to see their own future. "Without the jewels and jade cups, the nobles would have found other alternatives, but the plays I have performed are the food that can fill the stomachs of most people." ”

Faced with this answer, Cajun did not answer for the first time.

"I'm sure the drama you've been preparing for two years must be wonderful, but the upcoming performance of "Wolf's Heart" by the Xinghua Theatre Troupe is also beyond imagination. Even though it only took a little over a month from preparation to stage, and even though some of the actors were performing for the first time, it was still the best play I've ever seen. She bowed slightly, "If you haven't changed your mind in the slightest after watching it, I will recommend your new show to Your Majesty." ”

After leaving the Whistle Inn, May only felt refreshed, and even her steps were much lighter.

As soon as she stepped out of the alley, she saw Carter Lannis, who was waiting on the side of the street.

"Why are you here?" said Maye, surprised.

"Erin said you were picked up by Mr. Cakin's butler, and I was a little relieved, so I came over. Carter shrugged, "Anyway, I'm going to go to the convenience market to buy some food for dinner, and it's just on the way." ”

"Really?" Maye glanced at him, "Did you already know what happened in the inn that day?"

"You didn't eat an extra bowl of food that day, so it's strange that you can't see it. The chief knight said triumphantly.

"Wait......" she stopped abruptly, "You can't be going to tell the town hall, are you?

"Huh?" Carter raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?

Maye stared at him for a few moments before she breathed a sigh of relief, "No, it's nothing......"

"Hey, won't you tell me?"

"It doesn't matter anyway...... she laughed, "by the way, you haven't bought dinner yet, have you?"

"What, do you have anything you'd love to eat?"

"Well, let's eat salted fish tonight. ”

"Don't you like to eat these kinds of pickles...... You have eaten it for days last time that little girl gave you—"

"I like to eat now, don't I!" Maye interrupted Carter, then held out her right hand to him, "I just ask you if you're going?"

"Of course," the knight took her hand without hesitation, "as long as it is your request, you can go anywhere." ”
