Chapter Seventy-Three: A Powerful Enemy
Opera is a very popular stage play for the aristocracy, but the requirements for the performers are very high. Most of them are Acura love, knights and princesses, heroes and companions, etc., but most of the endings are poignant and make people cry after watching them.
Today's performance is playwright Shakespeare's "Pride and Loyalty", the protagonist of the story, Andu, is a prince of a kingdom, but falls in love with the princess of an enemy country, and the two meet in a small town with hidden identities, neither of them knowing each other's identities. Later, there was a war, and the two met again on the battlefield, but the two who were supposed to love each other were facing each other because of the conflict of interests in each other's countries.
The love between the two could not make the two countries that had hated each other for a long time give up the war, and finally committed suicide on both sides of the kingdom's border........
Arthur had never seen an opera before, but he had seen a lot of this type of thing, so his expression was calm. But the scene was already full of mourning, and many people were crying in low voices, especially this group of aristocratic ladies who had never suffered before.
Their lives were monotonous, they got up every morning to learn aristocratic manners, and then they got together with a few sisters to chat, and they were at their happiest at the grand balls, dressed up in fancy clothes, and they could see many people at that time.
The aristocratic hierarchy and the estrangement of each family doomed them to rarely meet a man who was excellent and looked at the right eye, and every noble lady was a simple little girl before she got married, but once she got married and became the head of the family, many people would have all kinds of changes, judging like two people.
"Arthur, you don't seem to like this kind of thing. The Countess asked in a low voice.
Several sad aristocratic ladies sniffed and wiped their tears with handkerchiefs, and even the countess had red eyes, and Arthur sat in his position a little abruptly.
It is undeniable that today's performance was a success, except for someone like Arthur, who is "well-informed" to some extent, and can only be regarded as average.
It's been 2 hours since the opening, and the opera is coming to an end, and the roles chosen by this special group of Arakawa are clearly positioned, the prince is beautiful and the public is active, and even the supporting roles are played vividly, which is indeed worthy of Shakespeare's masterpiece.
"Madame, stories are just stories. Appropriate grief can indicate deep feelings, while excessive grief can prove a lack of wisdom. Arthur whispered.
Several young ladies looked at Arthur with different looks, and it was obvious that his words had touched these people a little.
The Countess nodded slightly.
Thunderous applause rang out at ~~~~~ scene for a long time.
Arthur got up and walked to the guardrail, he was here mainly to see what kind of organization Arakawa was and how much energy he had.
The man in a black suit who had a relationship with Arthur walked up to the stage, took off his hat and bowed deeply.
"Distinguished guests, our people have completed the stage, and from tomorrow we will perform wonderful circus and magic performances on the empty plains two miles away from the royal capital, and I hope that you will come and cheer you on. ”
"At the same time, we have also obtained permission from the Venerable Adamant the Great, and the Sydney Opera House will continue to perform opera for 7 days, as the head of the troupe, I would like to thank you for your recognition........."
Many people at the scene were full of joy, and these days will definitely not be boring.
........
"That person is the current head of Arakawa, Ben?" Arthur asked softly as he stood in front of the guardrail with his hands crossed.
"yes, what's wrong with you?" asked Elizabeth. "By the way, do you want to go to tea with us, my mother has just made an appointment with a few ladies. ”
"I won't go for tea, and I'll go to Wang Yao's residence for a while. Arthur explained.
Miss Meloti behind her looked at Arthur's back with some words, and the friend next to her gently pushed her.
"Baron Arthur, you are now the head of Wang Yao, is Knight Gawain also with you, when you have time to come to my house with him, I have invited him several times, he is always busy. Miss Meloti's tone was a little sad.
Miss Kelly comforted her friend softly, perhaps because the relationship between this opera always touched the sensitive nerves in her body.
"Baron Arthur, it's Meloti's birthday in two days, can you let her meet Knight Gawain? ”
Arthur looked back at Meloti, who was very beautiful and was the daughter of the Marquis of Elo, and thought that Gawain had many suitors in the royal capital. He thought for a moment before nodding and saying. "Gawain and the knights of Zenga are very busy, Wang Yao has suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, and the knights who have been replenished in the future still need to be run-in, but he will come to offer his blessings on Miss Meloti's birthday, I can assure you. ”
"Thank you. Lord Baron. Meloti said with a graceful salute, looking pleased.
The Countess clapped her hands gently, "Alright, let's go out, the ladies are still waiting for us." ”
The opera starts around 3 p.m. and lasts until around 5 p.m. It was getting dark, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going on the streets.
Arthur walked out of the Royal Opera House in Sydney before everyone else, and the nobles' carriages lined up neatly on either side. Behind him, many people walked out one after another, chatting a little noisily.
A black-robed man quietly walked out from the corner of the street, a bone-chilling chill stimulated Arthur's back, and he instantly stood on end, and saw the man walking quietly on the road in the direction of his perception.
Arthur stopped at the gates of the Royal Opera House in Sydney, preventing anyone from passing.
"Arthur, what's wrong. The Countess asked, puzzled.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the eldest princess came to the door and frowned slightly when they saw Arthur's strange actions.
"Arthur, would you like to go have a drink with me? Grand Prince Nelson asked.
The man in black stood in the center of the road and quietly looked at Arthur, who was like a great enemy, and countless passers-by walked beside him as if they didn't see him, and everyone unconsciously bypassed where the man stayed.
The atmosphere is somewhat subtle.
The man did not have any weapons in his hands or behind him, his body was well-proportioned, his hands drooped on his sides looked casual and ordinary, after the two looked at each other, Arthur only felt that his body was falling into an extremely cold glacier, and he was filled with cold air from the inside out, and he hurriedly looked away This was the first time he felt an unsurpassable gap.
"Guards, protect everyone. Arthur commanded the soldiers on either side.
He summoned the holy sword EXcalibur and swung it at the middle of the road, a sword shadow slashed on the road to intercept everyone's path, and the powerful destructive power extended to the floor on the other side, a slender and straight line divided the two ends of the road, and the turbulent ground was shattered instantly, frightening the pedestrians on the road to retreat.
But the man didn't move a single step the whole time.
Everyone didn't know why Arthur suddenly summoned the holy sword, and Andrea reacted quickly to snatch a long sword from the hand of a knight beside him and stood beside Arthur.
"You're so strong, you can sense me so easily. The man in black appeared and said coldly, he stood in the center of the road with a sky-destroying momentum, a powerful aura oppressing everyone, and the cold aura filled the entire space, making people unconsciously take half a step back.
The innocent passers-by standing on both sides scattered in all directions screaming, and the scene was chaotic.
"Who the hell are you, this is the capital of the Falin King. Arthur asked with a frown.
The man turned his gaze to the other side, a sneer on the corner of his mouth. "See you next time, this time just to see what you're capable of. As soon as the words fell, the man disappeared into thin air.
In the distance, a fire dragon suddenly appeared, rushing straight towards the place where the man in black had just landed, but it pounced.
"Sorry, it's late. Gandalf gasped.
A few drops of cold sweat fell from Arthur's cheeks. "Master, if you don't come, I may be here today, and fortunately, you haven't left the royal capital yet. ”
