Chapter 32: White Flower Love Poems (Part 1)

Estelle stealthily pulled out the curtain and glanced outside. Seeing the pack-up scene, she stuck out her tongue and quickly returned backstage.

"Wow~ There are really a lot of people...... I'm starting to get nervous. Estelle wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said.

"It's alright, Estell. Kross shook her hand and said, "We've practiced well. ”

"Once the show starts, you don't have to worry about anything else," Princess Joshua said unceremoniously, "After all, Estelle is the type who can only focus on one thing." ”

Estelle pouted dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, you know how to make fun of me." ”

However, after seeing Joshua's dress, she couldn't help but laugh again: "Joshua like this, no matter what he says, he can be forgiven!"

Joshua was so depressed that the corners of his eyes twitched, but he could only endure it.

"Alright, okay, that's all for the flirting. Qiao Er clapped her hands and said, "This year's school festival is unprecedented, but let's not be too nervous, just perform as we usually practice." ”

"Such a grand school festival,It's what we built with our hands!" Hans said excitedly: "Stick to the end, let's draw a happy end to it!"

"As Hans said, each of you has done your best......" Reilly looked at the teenagers and said, "Youth will not admit regrets!

―――――――――― after a while――――――――――

As the sound of the radio sounded, the audience members who were still talking quickly fell silent.

"The audience and friends have been waiting for a long time, please enjoy the stage play "White Flower Love Poem". ”

After the curtain was raised, a beam of light shone on the stage, and Qiao Er said with a serious face: "In the year 1100 of the Qiyao calendar, the aristocracy still existed in Libel. At this time, the common class, represented by merchants, also began to emerge...... The struggle between the two sides became increasingly fierce, and although the royal family and the Church tried their best to mediate, they could not resolve the conflict between the two classes......"

The range of the lights gradually expanded, and a young girl wearing a long dress and a crown appeared on the stage.

"With the death of the king, all eyes are on the princess, and our story unfolds......"

After reading this line, Joel retreated backstage, and Joshua, who played the princess, began to speak: "In this bustling street, the human soul is constantly shining...... The people were indulging in their own happiness, and I ......"

At this time, two maids came up and tried to persuade her to go to bed.

Renee: "Your Highness, so you're here. ”

Lingfa: "It's time to go to bed. If you don't sleep so late, you'll be tired. ”

Princess: "It doesn't matter, if I fall ill...... It will not be the trigger for this strife. ”

Renee: "Your Highness Princess, please don't say that!"

Lingfa: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is Libel's treasure...... You will be united with the excellent Pony and rule the kingdom together. ”

Princess: "Although I have my father's will, I will not get married......"

Renee: "Why? There are two such brilliant suitors......

Lingfa: "One is the eldest son of the duke, Lord Julius, the head of the Knights of the Guards......"

Renee: "One is the Oscar-sama, a civilian hero with great military achievements......"

The two together: "Ah~ Both of them are so impeccable!"

Princess: "...... They're all very good people, I know that better than anyone else. (two steps forward) Ah...... Oscar, Julius...... How do I choose?"

When the princess was seen, the audience had not yet noticed the problem. However, after the two maids appeared, everyone knew what the highlight of this stage play was.

"Ah, isn't that princess Joshua?" Mabel said with a smile, "It's actually a male and female reverse, Jo'er really bothered......"

"Yes. Lila, who was sitting on the side, also expressed her opinion: "Mr. Joshua's acting skills need to be said, but the two maids around him are really ......"

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's Jo'er who drove the ducks to the shelves...... It's already very difficult to let a boy play a girl. Mabel smiled and said, "It's really a novel idea to play back between men and women, but this level is just eye-catching. If you want to make this stage play a classic, you have to work the plot......"

At the same time, Reilly, Levi, and Karling were also discussing in the back seats.

"Oops~ Xiao Yue looks like she is wearing women's clothes...... It's so cute!" Karling said, holding her face.

"Huh. Reilly smiled and asked, "Levy, what do you think?"

β€œ...... What would happen if Karling wore that dress?"

"You say that......"

"Brain supplement or something, it's so discordant!" Karling knocked the two men angrily.

At this time, the second act of the stage play has already begun.

Julius: "Remember, Oscar, when we were kids, we ran around in this alley with half a stick. ”

Oscar: "Julius...... How could I have forgotten those carefree days...... Me, you, and Cecilia had a great time together...... It was the most precious memory of my life. ”

Julius: "Hehe, I was really surprised at that time. I didn't expect that I was not the only one who sneaked out to play......"

Oscar: "To us, Her Highness Cecilia is like the sun. ”

Julius: "But that brilliance was overshadowed......

At the beginning, the princess who sneaked out of the palace got acquainted with Julius, who also sneaked out, and the child in the royal capital, Oscar.

From then on, they played happily together until the princess and Julius were found by the family and taken back. However, that time was enough for the two teenagers to sprout their admiration for the girl.

As an adult, Julius joined the Knights of the Guard, and Oscar became the sword of the kingdom.

However, the contradiction between the aristocratic class and the commoner class turned the love of the two teenagers into a flame that burned the princess.

Thinking of this, Julius's face crawled with sadness: "The aristocratic class and the plebeian class...... The confrontation between the two is inevitable, and Her Royal Highness the princess can only sigh helplessly......"

"What's more......" Oscar looked his friend in the eye and said, "Ah, this is indeed indescribable...... After all, it wasn't anyone else who deepened that sigh, it was you and me!"

After explaining the emotional entanglement between the three people, the second act ends.

(at the home of the Duke of Lado)

Duke Rado: "Julius, you should understand. It is no longer possible to allow the civilian class to continue to expand its power. If one day, the master we are going to honor is a commoner...... Then Liebel, with its ancient traditions, will be swept away!"

Julius frowned and said solemnly, "Father, with all due respect...... Ten years have passed since the founding of the Republic of Calvard in the East. I think that the rise of the common class is the inevitable result of the development of the times. ”

Duke Rado jumped out of his chair and roared, "Don't talk like such bastards! What is freedom? What is equality! It is simply a trick of a group of shameless villains to turn the noble and the low! Even if you surrender to the Empire, it is much better than to bow down to the commoners!"

"Father!" was Julius, shocked.

"Surrender to the Empire...... Hehe, that doesn't sound like an angry talk. Reilly smiled and said, "Even if Erebonia rules Liber, these nobles will just be a change of tax payer. ”

"That's politics...... Levy said with a faint look at him.

"Ahh Reilly nodded expressionlessly.

"......" Karling bowed her head in silence.

"Still, they switched roles at the last minute...... Reilly touched his chin and said, "That kid seems to have come to his senses." ”

"Huh?" Levi looked at Reilly in surprise and said, "What do you mean?"

"Liber's treasure. Reilly smiled mysteriously and said.

At this time, the people on the stage have been replaced by Oscar and representatives of the civilian class: Speaker Collodo.

"Oscar, I have high expectations for you. As long as we have the support of the royal family, we will definitely be able to overwhelm the aristocratic faction. In that case, the officials of the civilian faction will be in charge!"

"Speaker...... Please forgive me for not being able to accept it. Oscar shook his head and said, "I can't take advantage of the pure Cecilia for such political purposes......"

"Hmph, that's really high. Speaker Collodo sneered and said, "Although it is said that the Prince of Libel has only an empty name, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after all. If you refuse, we will have no choice but to launch a bloody revolution. At that time, not to mention the aristocracy, even the royal family will be swallowed up by the darkness of history!"

"Speaker!" Oscar was furious.
