When Theresia realizes that she is standing in the midst of that dreamy landscape, she falls into an atmosphere of indescribable wonder.

She even suspected that maybe the thief had brought her here on purpose. Theresia took a deep breath, but couldn't calm down, and Theresia's heart beat violently at the beauty of the scenery around her.

In this place where the sky and the earth are turned upside down, Theresia is alone, without parents, without young siblings, without people who belittle themselves, without gossip and hard life.

Theresia realized that she was alive, and it was a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time. This is a strange and strong "sense of freedom", several times stronger than the power felt on stage.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation with all her heart.

When she opened her eyes again.

A "gentleman" stood in front of Theresia.

Despite her surprise at the sudden appearance of the gentleman, Theresia quickly adjusted her mind and pretended to be calm.

"You...... You're the thief I just chased, aren't you? ”

"Yes, that's right."

A deep and calm voice.

As if there was no need to hide his identity, he quickly admitted it. Unlike Theresia, who was so nervous that she trembled, the gentleman was very quiet and calm. On the contrary, he seems to like the current situation very much.

"Now give up your plan to steal, return the treasure to me, and I will spare your life."

“......”

Theresia shouted bravely, but in fact she knew that the opponent in front of her was much stronger than herself.

As seen during the previous pursuit, he is a skilled monster thief and a magician who wields mystical magic.

But Theresia didn't want to back down, and since she was here, it wouldn't be in her character to back down.

Therefore, Theresia took another step forward and pointed the tip of her bayonet at the gentleman.

And at this time, a deep voice called out to Theresia softly: "You...... Doesn't seem to be afraid of me. ”

Then, the gentleman pushed away the tip of Theresia's sword with his hand, and began to approach Theresia step by step.

"You...... Don't come here! If you come any closer to me, I'll stab you!" ”

But the gentleman paid no heed to Theresia's warnings, and gradually narrowed the distance between himself and Theresia.

While she was still hesitating to swing her sword, the gentleman suddenly took out something, the porcelain in the mansion inlaid with beautiful gems, which were as beautiful as salt marshes in the sunlight.

"Come on, come on, now it's worthless to me."

Theresia hesitated for a moment, because she subconsciously felt that this was a trap, but there was no wave in the gentleman's eyes, so that Theresia did not feel any emotion, as if she had seen something of no value, and her eyes were dull.

So, Theresia got back the stolen things in a daze, but Theresia couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give this back to me?" Isn't that what you're doing to sneak into the mansion? ”

"Yes, because I want to get the Oriental gem set in porcelain, but I don't need it now, so, I'll give it back to you now."

Although Teresia was managing her nervousness, for some reason, Teresia's guardedness gradually faded, and at least she began to believe that the gentleman would not attack her.

I was a little relieved, and only then did Teresia really see the gentleman's appearance. She immediately put away her bayonet sword and approached him, observing his face and dress.

This gentleman is a clean and dashing man with deep eyes that give a sense of both sharpness and intellect.

It is difficult to estimate his age because of his well-trimmed beard, but judging by the high-class silk hat and modest clothing, he seems to belong to the upper class.

It is impossible for the upper class to steal on purpose, although he thinks so in his heart, but he really looks like an upper-class gentleman.

During the time when Theresia was face to face with the gentleman, the gentleman also stared into her eyes, as if he could read minds, digging into the depths of her heart.

During the period of eye contact, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy between the two. When Teresia came back to her senses, she realized that she was actually confiding in him the anguish in her heart.

The gentleman, on the other hand, just silently listened to the dark and sad story. Finally, he spoke, and in a deep voice he said something to Theresia that she would never forget.

"You are more valuable than any jewel I have ever seen, although a little reckless, but you are very brave, full of dreams and talents, although only a rough stone now, but in the near future, you will surely be able to shine with a gorgeous brilliance, just...... It needs to be polished again. ”

In Theresia's short life, no one had ever praised her so much, and she was always forced to give up her dreams and get bored with life. A favored daughter? Scold...... She's just a good-looking but mediocre actor. Only the gentleman saw the gorgeous gem hidden deep in her heart.

After hearing this, Theresia rekindled hope in life, and after a while, when the gentleman was about to leave, Teresia told the gentleman her name, hoping to meet again somewhere in the future.

"Theresia, my name is Theresia."

"Heh."

He whispered his name in a deep voice, and after leaving a farewell word, Hyuk disappeared.

"Until next time."

When Hee left, Theresia returned to the mansion and returned the porcelain she had taken from the gentleman to Rubilee.

Rubili, who realized it later, was very happy to see the porcelain returned to him unharmed, and of course, the protagonist of the ball that day became the brave Theresia.

In order to praise Teresia for recovering the precious treasure, people from all walks of life flocked to it, so Teresia got the opportunity to show her acting skills, and in front of everyone, her perfect performance was recognized and applauded by everyone present.

In this way, for the first time in her life, Theresia had an unforgettable night of magic, a night where she could show her talents to the fullest in the attention and applause of everyone.

......

"Ahh It's horrible. Blackbird, I will never let go of this sword until my white feathers are dyed red! ”

The climax of the theater was full.

The audience watched with bated breath and emotion as they watched the sword-wielding actresses on stage, captivated by the powerful voices, breathing, and engaging acting, and at the curtain call, people seemed to have waited for a long time, and they all stood up and applauded.
