Dazzled by the spectacle, the entire audience was captivated by the falling beautiful rain of flowers.
In the meantime, Lucia, who had overcome the crisis, put her mask back on.
While everyone was captivated by the flower rain, she looked at the opened relic she now had to give to the child.
‘…Strange. Is it originally empty?’
As she gave her daughter a puzzled smile over the empty egg, the child quickly reached out her hand.
At this moment, that empty egg was the most precious memory for the child.
Unable to contain her curling, cute lips, Nia who had received the relic shell said,
“…Thank you! Mom!”
A clear smile like a flower bud bursting in morning dew.
That was exactly the image of the child Lucia had imagined last night.
“Let’s go home and see.”
Finally having finished her duties, Lucia met the child’s eyes for a moment, then ascended back onto the stage.
While picking up the mask that had fallen, she felt a mana vibe and looked up at the ceiling.
As expected,
‘…Leon Ruins. Again.’
Caught up whenever a difficult situation arises.
Her eyes met Leon’s for a moment and she picked up the pace.
“Where’s Mom, Nia?”
“Mother, where did you go?”
It was Ivan and Charles.
The children, fascinated by the flying petals, were now looking around.
However, Nia just smiled and shook her head to the children’s question.
The memories with the mother who had come after a long wait had become so precious that she wanted to keep them just between them.
Then, suddenly suspicious, the princess narrowed her eyes at Ivan.
“But Ivan! Your story changed, where’s the real princess you talked about?”
“Uh, um…”
Sweating, Ivan evasively avoided her gaze.
The princess grabbed him by the collar.
“How dare you, I’m the princess! I won’t let you off!”
The hall quickly became chaotic.
However, there was one man in that bustling place where time seemed to stand still.
‘…What about my gift?’
The outofplace man was Prince Airen.
Below Nia’s smiling face, he looked at the empty relic shell with empty eyes.
And then,
[Dash] Boom!The sound of a cannon to mark the end of the stage greeting.
Finally recalling that petals were supposed to fly, Prince Airen suppressed his uneasy heart.
Then, looking slowly towards the sky, something black lightly fell on his face.
“What’s this…”
It was an indistinctly burnt, colorless doll.
Airen was finally sure.
The petals that were supposed to burst from the cannon had been magically changed to the couple dolls he had prepared.
The only one who could do that here was one person he knew of.
Airen’s gaze turned towards the stage, and soon he saw an unpleasant face on the stage ceiling.
It was Leon, smiling at Nia.
[Star Icon] The actors’ final bows came to an end.“Amazing!”
“Of course, the real protagonist always appears at the end!”
A torrent of applause and praise flowed, true to the satisfying conclusion.
However, Resa, who was limping off the stage, had a bitter expression.
It was a first for her.
‘Supporting the Black Knight, of all people. And when I’m not the one… Am I not cut out for acting?’
Just then, a stack of papers appeared before her eyes.
Looking up, it was a script handed over by the everradiant director.
“This one’s an adult drama I’ve prepared for a long time. I’d like you to be the protagonist!”
“What?”
“You surprised us with that twist involving the Crown Prince. I thought you were sincere, but you were weaker than expected!”
“Ah, no… That’s…”
“Ah, I was truly moved. Were you flying around the stage that much because your leg was like that? Far better than these stuckup actors. Anyway, your performance gave me lots of inspiration!”
The ecstatic director tossed the script at her and vanished.
Though the script was hastily thrown, he looked more vibrant than ever.
But her mood didn’t improve.
Becoming the lead based on just one performance that got good reviews—did she even deserve it?
She held the script and aimlessly stared at the ground.
Then, she saw eagle talons.
Startled, Resa hastily bent her waist.
“…Ththank you! Thank you for standing in for me on the stage!”
As she watched the retreating figure of the creature that silently disappeared, Resa pondered.
Why did he stand in for me?
Could he actually not be that frightening?
If so…!
“Um! Uhhh…!”
“?”
“So, this script was written with Lucia in mind. Do I have the right to be the protagonist? I’m not Lucia… I am…!”
She had always wanted to pour her heart out to someone.
She had zero confidence.
Her self always shriveled in comparison to the imposing Lucia.
‘I’m not Lucia, I can’t handle it. What am I supposed to do…!’
“You’re an actor.”
“…An actor…”
Right.
She was an actor, someone who could be anyone.
Resa, who had forgotten that she dreamed of acting due to her hardships, rediscovered it thanks to the eagle. No, thanks to Lucia.
“Ththank you!”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
