The woman did not believe that Abraham would betray the oath he had made, but the outbreak of war shattered her expectations.
Two months later, a list of the dead was published in the newspaper.
Abraham's name is prominently listed, and as a northern cavalry officer, he was shot to death by southern patriots.
When this news spread back to their hometown, most people rejoiced, thinking that Abraham had betrayed his hometown and tradition. This stupid traitor deserved to be shot like a lost dog!
Only Abraham's relatives were secretly sad, and the most saddened one was the girl who had already developed symptoms of pregnancy.
She originally planned to raise Abraham's posthumous son alone, but just when her spirit was at its most fragile, "spare tire" Master Ashley came to her door, wearing a black tuxedo with a white flower of condolences in his jacket pocket.
He expressed condolences and vowed to take care of her for the rest of his life on behalf of Abraham and raise the child with her.
The girl was deeply moved and finally accepted Master Ashley's proposal.
…
In the second act of the opera, the time has come 18 years later.
The long and painful civil war finally ended, and the Northern Army, under the leadership of their great leader, wartime Prime Minister Abraham, achieved an overwhelming victory.
Abraham, who was shot six times, was lucky enough to be rescued from the dead by a young priest even though he was considered dead.
After recovering from his injuries, Abraham returned to the battlefield and performed military exploits. He also showed superb political skills, which attracted the attention of the northern elders.
A cabinet boss who admired this young man very much intended to betroth his daughter to Abraham and train him to be his successor in both military and political terms.
Abraham did not immediately accept this golden opportunity. He was still thinking about his lover in his hometown.
However, a letter from his hometown forced him to give up the idea of renewing their relationship.
Now that his ex-girlfriend is married and has a child, what else does he have to hold on to?
Abraham married the daughter of a cabinet boss and rose rapidly in the political arena. At the end of the war, Abraham, who was in his early 40s, became prime minister.
…
Next, in the third act of the opera, the scene returns to the southern manor.
Eighteen years later, Scarlett, the child of Abraham and his ex-girlfriend, has grown into a graceful and beautiful girl, but she faces the darkest day in her life.
Her mother died of illness two years ago, and her father and her fiancé went to the battlefield together, trying to hold on to the last Confederate position, but both died.
When the news reaches home, Scarlett's world collapses.
That night, the slaves at home heard that the Confederate Army had been defeated and that their master's good days were over. Instigated by radical elements, they set fire to the manor and fled en masse to join the Northern Army that came to liberate them.
Overnight, Scarlett lost all her relatives and the home where she was born and grew up, and was filled with only hatred.
Scarlett joined a secret society composed of die-hard Southern soldiers, determined to avenge her loved ones at all costs, and the main method of revenge... was assassination!
Scarlett's opportunity soon came.
Soon after the war ends, the proud Prime Minister will lead his entourage to inspect the South and deliver a public speech, calling on the Southern compatriots to face reality, give up hatred, and join hands with the Northern compatriots to rebuild a beautiful homeland.
Scarlett waited patiently for this day to come and practiced her marksmanship day and night.
In the last scene of the opera, the Prime Minister finally returns to the square of his hometown.
At the same time, Scarlett carried two revolvers, a dagger, and a handmade bomb. Under the cover of her comrades, she narrowly and fortunately escaped the security inspection and stood in the first row of the audience.
The climax of the whole scene occurred at the moment when the Prime Minister was about to finish his speech.
Scarlett suddenly stepped forward, holding a gun in both hands, aiming at the man she hated most in her life.
Abraham noticed Scarlett's unusual behavior in time, ducked sideways to avoid the first bullet fired by the girl, and looked at the other person's familiar face in surprise.
The Prime Minister's bodyguard is not just a freeloader.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, six big men immediately rushed forward and controlled the slender assassin.
"Don't be rough with this lady!"
The Prime Minister's order came too suddenly.
The bodyguard could no longer hold back and hit the girl on the head with a heavy baton, causing blood to flow everywhere on the spot.
"stop!"
The Prime Minister rarely lost his cool in public. He quickly stepped forward, took out his handkerchief, and personally helped the assassin wipe the bleeding wound on his forehead.
"Whose girl are you from? Why do you want to assassinate me?"
"My name is Scarlett, and I have 10 million reasons to kill you!"
The girl knew that the operation had failed and that the only fate waiting for her was torture and the gallows. She simply took the risk and poured out all the grievances and resentments she had experienced in her life in public, denounced the Prime Minister and his troops, and ruined the pastoral southern tradition.
Society killed her father and fiancé.
Hearing Scarlett say the names of his parents, Abraham's face suddenly lost color and he also suffered from angina pectoris.
The secretary noticed that the Prime Minister looked wrong and quickly took out the medicine bottle.
Abraham ignored taking the medicine, waved his hand, and said with difficulty to the bodyguard: "Let this lady go...let her go."
"Your Excellency, she is an assassin!" the Prime Minister's secretary became anxious.
"Let her go!" Abraham growled in a low voice.
The bodyguards shuddered in unison and reluctantly let go of Scarlett, disarming her pistol and dagger, but ignored the bomb disguised as an apple.
"Why?" Scarlett looked at the man opposite with a sad face in confusion.
"I'm sorry for you... son, please go..." Your Excellency the Prime Minister almost choked, "We are all victims of the war. I hope the wounds left by the war will heal soon."
Scarlett shook her head blankly, turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned back, the confusion in her eyes was replaced by the fire of hysterical hatred.
"Hypocritical politician! Do you think you can fool me and win over people's hearts with such poor acting skills?"
"You are wrong! Children of the South, never give in!"
While shouting, Scarlett pulled the fuse of the bomb in her hand.
With the earth-shattering roar of her life, Scarlett and her biological father Abraham, whom she met but did not know, died together.
The historical tragedy performed on the stage has come to an end.
In the box on the second floor, Lisa watched with great concentration. At the climax of the play, she couldn't help but be touched by the tragedy of the father and daughter. She was so moved that her eyes were red and tears filled her eyes. This chapter has been completed!
