Tonight, the Ruby Theater was brightly lit as usual.
Although it is already the end of October and the temperature outside has dropped a lot, the theater is still stuffy and hot inside the bustling theater. The candlelight mixes with people's breath, casting the entire theater in a hazy light.
At this moment, the audience was watching the performance on the stage intently.
This is a new play, said to be the work of a recently unknown new playwright. The plot is also very novel, and the lines are emotional and very attractive.
"Now that God has made me doomed, who should I curse? No, I deserve all this...I weaved a fantasy for myself, and then indulged in this fantasy, I lied to myself that this is happiness,
Completely ignore those hypocritical and vicious smiles and sweet words!
Yes, I can only curse my stupidity. Life has left me only depression and deception, leaving me with nothing, so let me take the blame on myself! I would rather commit the sin of committing suicide than let myself suffer again.
Back to deception and malice... Farewell, the people I love and hate, may Almighty God witness everything you have given me; Farewell, my hometown, I am only glad that my soul did not stay there!
I'm sorry, my child, I gave you the status of an unclean illegitimate child, what a sin I committed...I will pay you back with my death!"
When the show reached its climax, when the heroine gave a tearful monologue on stage, complaining about everything she had experienced, some people were even so nervous that they shed tears.
Finally, she stood up with a pale face, then walked tremblingly to the lake, and then jumped into the lake without hesitation and committed suicide.

Amid heavy sighs from the audience, the curtain was slowly pulled up, and the performance finally came to an end.
Although the performance has ended, there was a strange silence in the theater. The female audience members wept silently, while the male audience members also remained silent for a while.
It wasn't until a moment later that sparse applause began to ring out from everywhere, until finally it gathered into a violent roar, paying tribute to this very wonderful performance.
The applause and cheers were transmitted to the boxes upstairs, and in an inconspicuous box on the third floor, Miss Sophia Memmingen put away the gold-plated telescope in her hand.
Then, she turned to look at the young man next to her, and smiled happily.
"Congratulations, Mr. Memmingen, you have become a blockbuster!"
The young man did not answer, but stood quietly by the railing, looking at the audience thoughtfully.
As Princess Sophie said, this performance was quite successful and was recognized by the audience. This not only satisfied his creative vanity; more importantly, it also meant that this play could be performed many times.
, and then spread it out, this is his original purpose.
As long as you persevere, someone will eventually trace the source and find this place.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for the opportunity.
"Why, you don't seem very happy?" Sophie was a little surprised when she saw the young man's silence.
"Of course I'm happy, but I think it's too early to celebrate now." Aigron replied with a smile, "I still want to achieve greater success. I thought I would be very satisfied with this little cheer now, but
Facts have proved that it still cannot satisfy me. Maybe you will think that I am greedy, but... I still can't control myself."
"You are too demanding on yourself." Princess Sophie couldn't help but shook her head, "But... this is also a good thing. Continuous improvement is what people should pursue. It doesn't matter, you can continue to work hard. Since it is your first time to fight,
Having achieved such an achievement, you will surely stand out and be recognized by everyone."
After a pause, she laughed again, "Who would have thought that the name Memingen that I came up with casually would actually be praised by others..."
"Then, can you reward me?" Aigron asked suddenly. "Let me be more motivated."
Sophie suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Can't you have something else in your mind?" She couldn't help scolding. "You've ruined the good atmosphere."
The young man didn't answer, but just looked at her helplessly, like a child begging for food. Even though he was already taller than her, he still easily made her soften.
"Okay, okay... you're really annoying." She cursed angrily, and then, as if she was giving up on herself, she leaned towards his face, closed her eyes, and kissed the young man's lips.
After a while, they ended this ritual that they had recently performed.
"Are you satisfied now?" Sophie blushed slightly and glared at the young man, "I really don't know how you became like this."
"Maybe it's because of you." The young man shrugged coolly, "It's you who made me go half crazy, occasionally forgetting my reason, and doing extraordinary things without hesitation."
After hearing these words, Sophie froze immediately and hugged the young man tightly.
"Then, will your heroine and I be different?" After a moment, she asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it will definitely be different." Aigron gently caressed her face, and then replied in a low voice, "There may be some twists and turns, but I promise you, no matter what, I will not abandon you.
Any disaster will only make me remember your kindness to me even more."
"What kind of disaster are you talking about? If you stay by my side well, how can there be any disaster if I protect you?" Sophie laughed again, "Unless you are asking for trouble and falling for boring delusions like Icarus.
Cut off your own wings."
These nonsense words made Aigron a little surprised.
Did she notice something, or did she just say it casually?
Although he was shocked inside, he didn't dare to ask what it meant, so he had to remain silent for the time being.
Fortunately, Sophie didn't seem to want to continue this depressing topic and asked another question. "I heard that you are going to visit Archduke Karl and his family?"
"Yes, the last time Archduke Karl took me out, I promised him that I would visit him. He did his best for me, of course, not just because he liked me. Since I have promised to go to him, then I must
Fulfill your promise." Aigron nodded, "Please understand me, given his status, even if I want to reject him, I must try to be as tactful and gentle as possible."
After hearing what he said, Sophie looked gloomy and was obviously disappointed, but she also knew in her heart that what the young man said was right.
Although she was quite dissatisfied with Archduke Karl, Sophie also hoped that Aiglon could make a name for himself outside and become a successful man, so she was unwilling to deprive him of the good fortune he had finally obtained.
Promoting this marriage was the will of His Majesty the Emperor. After much deliberation, she could only block it secretly and let the proposal slowly come to nothing.
When she thought of these things, most of her original excitement was extinguished.
"It doesn't matter, you can go outside to relax for a few days. I think it will be good for you. However, you must remember what you promised me." Princess Sophie warned again.
"I remember it clearly." Aigron nodded in agreement.
"Okay, don't mention those unpleasant things anymore, let's continue watching the show." Sophie finally felt better, "However, after watching yours, I think there is nothing interesting to watch. Wait a minute
While the two people were having a conversation in the box, in the auditorium downstairs, a girl wearing a simple light yellow skirt quietly left her seat.
She wore a small semicircular pink hat with feathers on her head. The thin veil hanging down from the brim of the hat covered her originally youthful and beautiful face, and prevented anyone around her from noticing her presence.
She walked up the spiral staircase with very light steps, and then found Captain Foresti in the corridor.
"Captain, good evening." As she said hello, she lifted her veil.
Foresty saluted her solemnly, "Good evening, Your Highness."
"Thank you for telling me this news so that I didn't miss this performance." Teresa smiled and nodded to him, "Sure enough, as I expected, this script can really move people after it is put on the stage, and it can
It's a pity that I got recognition from the audience... I didn't help out. It's such a pity that I missed such a good opportunity."
"I don't know much about drama, and it's not my responsibility, so please forgive me for not being able to discuss it with you." The captain smiled bitterly, "However, since you recognize His Highness's efforts so much, I think he will be very happy to know.
Bar."
From his position, he would certainly try his best to facilitate this matter, so he deliberately kept saying good things about His Highness.
Of course Teresa understood his good intentions, but she still smiled and replied, "I think he won't be very lacking in recognition in the future... However, I can indeed help in many other ways, as long as he doesn't refuse."
if."
"Of course His Highness will not refuse." The captain shook his head quickly, "So... do you want to say hello to His Highness? If you want to go, I can take you there."
Teresa hesitated.
"At this moment, he shouldn't be alone in there." After a moment, she asked in a positive sentence.
"Yes, His Highness Sophie is there too." The captain did not hide this. "As you know, she is His Highness's main sponsor and has always spared no effort to help His Highness. Without her, all this would not be possible.
accomplish."
"Yes, I can understand...I understand everything." Teresa nodded.
She did understand why Sophie was so hostile to her that day.
Taking the risk to help the young man without any regrets must be because of a very special feeling, maybe a mother's love for her child, maybe even a woman's love for a man. If you have this kind of feeling, you will suddenly encounter the other person.
If a fiancée showed up, she would definitely go crazy with anger... From this point of view, she only behaved like this that day, which was relatively restrained.
"Then I won't say hello and let them enjoy the show. I don't think they will like it when someone suddenly comes to disturb me." Teresa waved her hand gently, "What if, I mean what if I
If we saw something we shouldn't have seen, wouldn't that embarrass us all?"
"Your Highness...you mean...?" The captain was a little surprised.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry, and it's not an angry word. I did get angry, but it happened a long time ago." Teresa still smiled, "To tell you the truth, although I like to be humble to others,
But I'm still a little proud inside, so I can't understand that even though I have all the conditions that can make people have a bright future, and I have already spoken up to that point, I am still being pushed away ruthlessly. Is it because I have no charm at all, or is it because I have no charm at all?
His Highness hates me? Once I know all this, I will be able to understand...why His Highness behaves like this to me.
His Highness has been alone since he was a child, so he lacks the love of others and the sense of security of being valued and needed. Just like a traveler who is about to die of thirst in the desert, when he encounters a little kindness from others, he will
He will instinctively regard all this as nectar, so as long as His Highness Sophie takes advantage of this mentality, she can give him various orders without any scruples and let him do things that are obviously not in his interest, and His Highness will also
I complied without saying a word, which resulted in the current situation..."
She spread her hands and sighed with a little regret, "He is not wrong. What's wrong with a person paying attention to what he loves? Of course I am not wrong either. I am just a little late. If it were earlier, I wouldn't be wrong."
As for being in this difficult situation.”
"You are so smart! You understood the situation completely without me saying anything." The captain breathed a sigh of relief, "You see, this situation does make us feel a little embarrassed. Your Highness is too irrational.
Already."
"Since he is irrational, I can't make the situation worse in this situation, can't I?" Teresa asked with a smile, "So, that's it for today, I'm enjoying it happily
It’s a theater-watching experience, while His Highness is enjoying his own happy time, and the rest will remain in the mist.”
"You mean...you can turn a blind eye?" the captain asked in shock.
"What are you talking about? Why should I interfere?" Teresa raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "We don't have any formal relationship now, and he has no obligations to me. Whatever he wants is up to him.
I am not willing to forcibly restrict freedom. Maybe it will be different in the future, but at least now, His Highness has the right to celebrate the successful display of his talents. This is what he deserves."
"Okay, I understand." The captain nodded. "Your Highness Teresa, no matter what others think, I think you are the best candidate. I think Your Highness himself will consider it clearly. He is just temporarily dizzy.
That’s all.”
"Don't make any mistake, I am the one waiting for him to ask me to agree." Teresa smiled and nodded, then waved to the captain, "Goodbye, sir."
Then, she turned around and left, walking down the stairs with tiny steps.
Slowly, the smile on her face disappeared.
She was not as magnanimous as she said, but she understood more clearly that at this moment, her weight in the other person's heart, if she really made a fuss regardless of it, would only end up shattering everything beyond control.
She was not angry with the young man because she knew what he had been through and how much he longed for help and love. How could he not be deceived?
If there is really one person who is wrong, it is obviously Her Highness Sophie.
No matter how much she helped His Highness, the current reality is that out of jealousy and possessiveness, she arbitrarily and unreasonably forced him to commit suicide on his own future. This was really too much - maybe she just enjoyed being treated extremely badly by others.
The feeling of dependence.
How can a person be so willful?
Therefore, she could not give up. This was not only for her own future, but also to save a talented young man. She was extremely convinced that she was the only person who could save his life.
