Chapter 369: The White Swan's Despair
The stage, which always provides Theresia with what she needs most, is a "sense of liberation" that makes people's hearts flutter and tears, and when she plays someone else, she is able to escape from hellish reality and "liberate".
At this time, Theresia was no longer troubled by life and raising a family, but was breathing freely, becoming a maid admired by the noble young master, or becoming an elf and freely shuttling through the forest.
Therefore, as long as she has the opportunity, Teresia will work hard to be an actress, working harder than anyone else, and she dreams that one day, she can get rid of the label of unknown as soon as possible and stand out in front of the audience as the protagonist.
However, the opportunities given to the beautiful Theresia have always been limited, and due to her beautiful appearance, she is often given the role of having to use beauty as a weapon.
No matter how hard Teresia trains, no matter how well Teresia performs, nothing will change, and she will never be the protagonist.
Eventually, even Teresia's favorite plays got her into trouble, and people's prejudices caused the talented and hopeful to be free to wither at this point.
Like a beast on a rope, Theresia gradually loses her vitality and even gives up hope in life.
Theresia didn't know how long she had been in a daze, just like today, and she sat in the corner of her room, staring at the sun slowly setting in the sky.
Suddenly, Theresia heard her parents shouting, "Why are you still in your room today on the day of the big masquerade party of the socialite 'Rubili'?" ”
"Find a good candidate for the groom as soon as possible and make a good impression on him, instead of being lazy and stupid here like he is now!"
Poor Theresia was screamed by her parents and came to the closet, however, contrary to her parents' wishes, instead of a gorgeous dress, Theresia left the house in a green, ordinary dress, a mask, and a white wig groomed to her liking.
Perhaps, this is her rebellion against her parents, so powerless, so humble.
As the vermilion sunset fell, Theresia arrived at Rubili's mansion, and Theresia was on time, but it was already bustling before the ball began.
Aristocrats dressed in gorgeous costumes hold colorful wine glasses in their hands, and they greet and hug each other, and it is bustling.
However, Theresia had no interest in the party, and many people were interested in her and wanted to talk to her, but they were all coldly shunned by Theresia.
Theresia walked straight through the ballroom, down the hallway, and onto the expansive terrace. To comfort her depressed mood, she looked at the scenery around her from the terrace and started her own dance.
Not far from the mansion, on the shore of the lake, there is a salt marsh, and the waters are incredibly beautiful under the sun. Such a beautiful scenery made Theresia's heart surging and intoxicating.
For Theresia, everything around her left her disillusioned and disappointed, and no beauty could attract her attention.
She thought.
If she can't live for herself for the rest of her life, then why should she live this life so cruelly?
Rather than being bound by life for the rest of your life, it is better to ......
Alas...... Are there any other options?
"Boom!"
At that moment, a strange sound came to Theresia's ears, the door opening was coming from the corridor across the terrace, and she pricked up her ears to listen, and slowly approached the voice, looking around carefully.
Thump!
After a while, in a certain room, a mysterious man appeared who deliberately lowered his silk hat, and the long cloak flapped in the wind behind him, and Theresia, who saw all this, held her breath.
Because the man had a porcelain encrusted with expensive gems under his ribs, it was clear that something unusual was happening here.
Teresia unexpectedly became a witness to the crime committed by the "thief", but he did not seem to notice Teresia's existence and calmly carried out his plan.
Judging by his calm expression and skillful hand movements, it seems that he is not just a thief, but a repeat offender.
Seeing this scene in front of her, Theresia's heart began to beat wildly, although she had never really competed with anyone face to face, but the impulse in Theresia's heart suddenly began to boil, she wanted to catch the man in front of her.
Theresia knew how dangerous the man in front of her was, but ...... Theresia felt that she had nothing to lose anyway. Since there will be no loss, it is better to do what is right!
Having made up her mind, Theresia quickly looked around, she needed a weapon to subdue the thief. Just as she found the bayonet sword next to the armor nearby, Theresia carefully picked it up, and then she followed the "strange thief" without hesitation.
"Huh! Stop it! Fast! Hand over what you're holding! ”
Theresia persistently followed behind the "strange thief", holding a bayonet sword and shouting at the "strange thief" in her heart, at this moment, Teresia seemed to release the pent-up emotions, violently chasing and running.
The thief sensed the pursuers behind him and quickened his pace. Every time a mysterious light flashed on the tip of the thief's hand, the distance between Theresia and the thief grew farther and farther away.
But it didn't take long for the thief to seem to realize that she was a "rash pursuer". Over time, the Thief seems to be subtly adjusting his speed in order to maintain a proper distance from Theresia.
But seeing this situation, Theresia was even more reluctant to give in and admit defeat, and she gritted her teeth and sped up.
Is it because of consistent practice? Or is it because of the tension that stimulates the whole body? Strangely, Theresia had been running for a long time, but she didn't feel tired at all, but her gloomy mood was relieved, and her mind became clear and bright.
Looking back, she may not have cared about the strange thief or the stolen porcelain in front of her at all, just because of the blood flowing all over her body, and there is a stronger sense of "liberation" than on the stage, and Theresia is enjoying this feeling.
"Whew..... Whew......"
Theresia's excitement made her breath short, and when she stopped, she found herself in the salt marsh near the mansion, where the beautiful sky was dyed apricot and lilac.
