Chapter 144: Never Give Up

The lights are on.

All the actors took the curtain call.

In the Hualing Theater, the entire audience stood up and erupted in stormy applause, and many people applauded while shedding tears. The applause lasted for ten minutes, setting a record for the Flower Spirit Theater.

After the applause subsided, the actor was not in a hurry to get off the stage. LomΓ© stepped forward and exclaimed, "Thank you very much for being able to watch our new play, 400,000 Flowers, you guys can enjoy this play, we are very grateful." ”

"A few months ago, Grand Lord Meiyi invited us to perform at the Sombra City Theater, and by then, he had already left. After performing plays such as "Forty-Nine Nights" and "As You Wish, Your Lordship", the people of Sombra begged us to rehearse the story of Lord Meiyi's last months in Sombra into a play, and tell the people of the kingdom what had happened here. ”

"It's been a tough job. We traveled to every county in Sombra, interviewed nearly a thousand people, and also went to the home of Kira, the wife of the Great Lord of Meiyi, in the Windy Lands. Even so, we still find it difficult to fully show the mental journey of the Great Lord of Meiyi. At the critical moment, we found his left diary in his study. ”

Mei Yi's heart tightened, and she said: No wonder!

"We are only actors, and we are only playing scripts that we have found and pieced together materials, and we have no position on the affairs of the kingdom. The city I saw was a place of prosperity, affluence, and infinite possibilities. The human domain I see is a place of beauty and order, not chaos. ”

"If you're watching this drama, I'd like to convey to you the greetings of the subjects of Sombra - I'm sorry, High Lord, I've been relying on you too much to understand your difficulties. From now on, we will strive to take control of our own destiny and fulfill your wishes. ”

"Lord Meiyi, I personally want to thank you. Before, I was just an ordinary actor at the True Spirit Theater, but since I starred in plays related to you, such as "Forty-Nine Nights" and "As You Wish, Your Lord", I have gradually gained support and love for my audience, and I have also met my fiancΓ©, your actor Logan. The good news for you is that we have become an honorary citizen of Sombra. ”

In the thunderous applause of everyone, Mei Yi stood up, pulled Qiluo away, and complained: "What kind of sand sculpture drama Luo Mei performed, it wasted me four hours!" ”

When the surrounding audience heard Meiyi's words, they glared at him and Kira. When the theater door opened, a gust of wind blew Kira's hat off, revealing her full blonde hair. Kira hurriedly picked up the hat, put it on her head, and held Meiyi's arm, "Wipe the tears off your face before complaining, okay?" Otherwise, it's too ugly. ”

Mei Yi was speechless for a long time, and said, "Qiluo, it's too boring for you to talk like this......"

After the two walked out of the theater, the audience reacted, stunned. It turned out that the person who sat beside him before covered his face and cried bitterly, and kept whispering "enough, enough", was actually the hero of this drama, the former Great Lord of Sombra City!

The audience in the theater slowly dispersed, and the Duchess wiped Serena's tears and said softly, "Okay, don't cry, let's go back." We're sorry for you, if it weren't for my selfish decision, Aster's indiscriminate marriage, and Avril's indiscriminate involvement, everything would not have happened today. ”

Serena shook her head and cried bitterly, "It has nothing to do with you, everything is caused by me." Princess Celestia made us engaged before she died, but I kept hesitating. Every time I got into trouble, he was the first to be there for me; I didn't write a single letter to him when he was in True Spirit and Sombra, and I didn't know anything when he was at his hardest......"

In the empty theater, Hanabi and Liuxi looked at Serena, who was crying bitterly, wiped her tears, and walked out of the theater silently.

A girl walked in. She was wearing a hat and bowing her head, so she didn't see Hanabi and the others. Although they didn't see the person's face clearly, they recognized who she was.

The few blonde hairs and walking demeanor that appeared under the hat had long indicated her identity - Meiyi's wife, Kira.

They couldn't help but be stunned: Why is Kira here?

Kira walked straight into the theater, walked to Serena's side, looked at the duchess with a shocked face, took her skirt and saluted, and said, "Lady Alicia, can I say a few words to Serena?" You don't have to leave. ”

Serena froze when she heard Kira's voice. She didn't have time to wipe away the tears from her face, and stood up: "Kira, you...... Why are you here? ”

Kira smiled and said, "When the play was released just now, Mei Yi and I sat in the second row behind you and your wife. I heard the sound of you talking to your wife. I've heard what you and your wife said just now. ”

Serena was shocked in her heart, and after a while, she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind." Meiyi ...... He ......"

Serena glanced panicked at the entrance to the theater.

Kiro pulled Serena to sit down and said, "Don't worry, he didn't hear it." After going out just now, we met his students. The students cried for some reason, so they asked him to send the students back to the academy. I'm coming to you alone. ”

Serena stared blankly at Kira, not knowing what Kira was about to say.

Kira thought for a moment and then said, "Serena, I swear to my ancestor Melohia that what I am going to say to you here is my true words, and there is no half-falsehood, and it is by no means sympathy or teasing you. ”

Serena nodded, "You're not like that. ”

Qiluo said: ""More than 400,000 Flowers" is not the end. Madame, right? ”

The Duchess said, "Kira, it's great that you could think so. The royal family is not fools. Moreover, Bishop Illya had already told the Pope what had happened in Sombra and asked the Pope to intercede with His Majesty. Many Kingdom officials from Sombra City are trying their best to protect Meiyi, and it is only a matter of time before Meiyi recovers. ”

Serena let out a long sigh of relief, and when she saw Kira looking at her, she became uncomfortable.

Kira's ice-blue eyes looked at Serena and said, "Serena, I won't go around the bend with you." Although I am the daughter of the Great Lord of the Humans, this identity not only can't help Mei Yi, on the contrary, it will only drag him down. You don't have to defend me, that's the truth. ”

Serena swallowed back the words that had already come to her lips.

After a pause, Kira said again: "If Mei Yi had married not me, but you, he would not have left the Sombra City he loved so much and suffered such a heavy blow. Please don't interrupt me, let me finish. It is because I love him so much that I say these words. I've thought of these words since we first got together. ”

"You haven't been to Sombra. Once you've seen it, you'll know that Sombra is the ideal future for the kingdom, both for humans and for elves and elves. This is not just my personal opinion, but also the judgment of Bishop Elija and Princess Agiro. However, Meiyi is an orphan with no background, and all connections can only come from his wife's family. ”

At this point, Kira looked at the Duchess, "Madam, if, I mean, if Meiyi and Miss Serena were together, would you support him unreservedly?" ”

The Duchess had already seen through Qiluo's intentions, and couldn't help but secretly admire this girl in her heart, and said seriously: "Of course." Mei Yi is a human being, and he is in a high position, if I get too close to him, I will inevitably be framed by others, and I can only use my strength in secret. But if he's my son-in-law, that's a different story. Helping your own family, no one can say anything. If others want to attack him, they have to consider the feelings of the Duke's Palace. ”

When the Duchess saw Serena's astonished eyes, she said, "Don't be surprised, Serena, from the moment your parents handed you over to me, I submitted an application for adoption to the head of royal affairs, that is, Queen Elsa. You are my adopted daughter and have the right to inherit. I haven't told you all the time, because I'm afraid that you will show off everywhere and bring trouble to yourself. Frankly, your savage, domineering, vain personality as a child worried me a lot. ”

Serena's face was red and white for a while, and she didn't know what to say. Kira's meaning couldn't be clearer, she was so confused that she completely lost the ability to think. The Duchess said, "Kira, I'm going to ask a question, why did you choose our house?" ”

Kira chuckled, and after a long moment said, "Madam, do you remember the time you went to the academy to look for him, and he called your mother?" ”

The Duchess thought for a moment and then smiled: "Hmm." I really miss it, in fact, it was a year ago, but it seems that a long time has passed. On that day, I went to him specifically to marry Nana to him according to Esther's last wishes, but he said that he was not worthy of Nana, and asked me to give Nana the right to choose her husband freely. ”

Serena also remembered that at that time, she was hiding behind the bushes and eavesdropping on the conversation between Mei Yi and Madame. Thinking about how domineering she was at that time, she felt that Mei Yi was not worthy of herself for a while, and she felt that Mei Yi looked down on herself for a while.

Thinking about it, my eyes turned red again.

Kira said seriously: "In Meiyi's heart, Lady Alicia has always been like his mother, and he will immediately write to tell Madame about anything, even if she is married. The queen was still very unhappy about this, believing that in his heart, Madame was more important and trustworthy than herself. Is this reason okay? ”

The Duchess was stunned, and said in her heart: Sister Elsa actually cares about this?

Kira took Serena's hand again and said sincerely: "Serena, Meiyi loves you, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten angry with you and run to the true spirit." He doesn't seem to have had an awkward relationship with anyone except you. But he's too introverted when it comes to relationships. You know that. ”

"Also, please don't worry about me. If I marry the great nobles of the Windy Lands, will they marry only me? In the same way, you too. Your future husband won't necessarily take you seriously. Rather than this, it is better to pass the threshold in your heart and marry the person you like, instead of washing your face with tears and regretting it for life. You tell me? ”

Serena knew that Kira was right, but she really couldn't get past that in her heart.

Kira stood up and whispered to the Duchess and Serena, "I have finished what I have to say. If the Elven Kingdom is not good, the Land of the Wind will not be good. I can't give Meiyi enough support, you can. Serena, if you really can't accept it, I can kill myself, just ask you to support him in promoting reconciliation between the three clans. ”

Both the Duchess and Serena were terrified, and Serena grabbed Kira's arm, for fear that she would suddenly make some suicidal moveβ€”she had already seen Kira's fierceness in "More than 400,000 Flowers". She was horrified, "Kira, what are you talking about?" Why do you suddenly say suicide? ”

Kira still smiled, but two lines of tears ran down her cheeks, "I should have died a long time ago." In my three years in Hua Ling, I don't know how many times I thought about suicide. No matter how hard I tried, I was always discriminated against and humiliated by elves and goblins. Meiyi is the only hope for the revival of the human race and the reconciliation of the three races, and I must not let it go......"
