Chapter 304 Surprise

May did not expect that when she set foot on the return journey to Border Town again, her heart would be filled with anticipation.

The woods along the Chishui River have begun to turn yellow, and the breeze blowing on the face brings a touch of coolness. The shimmering river rolls under your feet, and from time to time you can see fallen leaves slipping by the side of the boat.

Without the anxiety and restlessness of last time, the surrounding autumn scenery became poetic and picturesque.

"Miss May," a reverent voice came from behind her, "Is the "Diary of a Witch" you performed really a script written for you by His Royal Highness the Prince?"

May turned around and saw a group of actresses gathered around one after another. The leader was looking at her nervously. She remembered that the other party seemed to be called Swallow.

"Aha, sorry," Irene waved at her from the bow, and said loudly with a smile, "I can't answer their question, so I have to let them ask you."

This idiot... Mei rolled her eyes secretly. If it was before, she would only sneer twice. Probably because I have been with Irene for a long time, and my patience has become better and better. "It was not written for me by His Highness, but by the Minister of Education of the City Hall. Sir Scroll wrote it for the witch."

"Uh, is that so?" Yanzi blinked, "When you argued with Bella, we all thought it was true."

"Written by Your Highness" and "Written by Your Highness for me", there is a huge difference between the two. How did these people hear the first half of the sentence as the second half? "However, both the writing of the script and the performance of the drama have been approved by His Royal Highness, so Bella's mocking of the script is indeed equivalent to mocking His Highness himself. I didn't bluff her on this point."

"Have you met His Royal Highness?"

"I heard that he has the iconic gray hair and long hair of the royal family, and his appearance is very handsome. Is it true?"

"I also heard that he has a romantic nature and has many lovers!"

"Eh, is that so?"

"..." Looking at this group of lively little girls, Mei Yi couldn't help frowning. Heck, she shouldn't have responded to their curiosity.

"Okay, don't bother Miss May," Roxia stepped forward to shoo them away, and gave May an apologetic look.

"It doesn't matter," she shrugged, and continued to enjoy the scenery along the coast, "after all, this is the trouble I caused myself."

"I... don't really understand," Luoxia scratched her head and said, "Why did you take them with you when you left? Among the thirty-five people, only two have ever been on stage, and twenty-six people haven't even finished all the courses in the drama class. According to what you said before, they are not even chicks, they are still in the eggshell... Even if the lord does not have high requirements for drama, these people may be difficult for His Highness to accept. If you want to take revenge on Bella If so, we should also recruit those experienced supporting actors."

"I'm not going to put them all in acting."

"Huh?" The other party was stunned for a moment.

"They can all understand the script, right?" Mei smiled, "Although there is still a long way to go before performing on stage, they can at least read and write. Don't you realize that His Highness needs such a script most now?" Talent." She paused for a moment, "Do you think His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon really hired us to perform because he loves drama?"

"this……"

"If it's Mr. Pei Luo, then the answer must be yes. Before he took over the Longsong Fortress, he had the habit of visiting the theater once a week. But for His Highness Roland, except for the first performance of the new play, the rest of the time is not He will appear in the town square—so he does not promote drama because of his own preferences, but intends to use drama to promote his views to the masses.” May continued, “Compared to the initial emphasis on resisting oppression and witches are not evil , The new scripts "Dawn" and "New City" have moved closer to the goals of recruiting people and getting rich through hard work, I just follow his wishes and try my best."

"Yu, so it's like this, I've never thought about this..." Luo Xia said dumbfounded.

"Thinking about a script, in addition to thinking about yourself as a character, you must also understand the meaning of the whole story as much as possible. This is also the quality that an excellent actor must possess."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance!" She bowed.

"Don't worry," Mei raised the corner of her mouth, "If you don't want to act anymore, you can find a good job in Border Town, and maybe you can enter the city hall and become an administrative official. After all, His Highness does not require an identity, and Regardless of family background, this path is much easier than being an actor."

...

After the boat arrived at the small town, May immediately saw Flynn Hilt standing by the pier to greet him.

Of course, he came for Irene.

Seeing the girl galloping into his arms, she sighed softly.

"Isn't that man the morning light?"

"It turns out that he was not sentenced to exile by His Highness..."

"The number one knight in the western region, that's great." Swallow said enviously, "I thought he and the star of the theater—"

"What nonsense?" May's cold voice made everyone shut their mouths immediately, "Hurry up and get off the boat, Gaite and Roxia will take you to the city hall to register your identity, and for the rest, just follow their arrangements. "

"Yes." Everyone replied respectfully.

Walking down the pier, Feilin came over with his wife, stroked her chest and said, "Miss May, Irene just told me about the conflict in the theater. Thank you for your concern for her."

"You don't need to thank me," May said disapprovingly, "The other party seems to be looking for trouble for her, but he is actually here for me."

"Even so, I still want to thank you." The knight smiled heartily, "If it weren't for you, she would definitely cry on the spot."

After the two left, May pouted, carried her luggage on her back, and walked towards the residential complex.

Although she had let go of this feeling, she still felt a little emotional when she saw this scene, and that familiar figure did not appear, but she still vowed in the letter that she would give herself a surprise.

Well, after all, the other party is an important person next to His Highness, so it's impossible for him to act casually like dawn, right?

Back home, Mei put down the package, and a long-lost sense of relaxation rushed over her face. She let out a long breath, took out liquor from the cupboard, and was about to have a drink when there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, it was Carter Lannis standing outside.

"I didn't expect you to arrive half an hour earlier." He wiped the sweat from his brow. "I heard that the ship from Longsong Fortress had arrived. I rushed over from the barracks."

For some reason, she obviously didn't see him at the pier, and she obviously didn't pick her up, but when she saw his appearance, Mei Yi's mood brightened instantly, "Would you like to have a drink?"

"No, I still have tasks this afternoon," Carter waved his hand.

"Well," she nodded, "what His Highness told you is more important."

"I came to give you a gift," the chief knight took out a small white wooden box from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Is this the latest product in the convenience market?" May took the wooden box curiously, opened the lid, and saw a yellow-orange ring standing quietly at the bottom of the box, with a bright transparent gemstone inlaid on its top. Under the reflection of the autumn sun shining through the windows, colorful light is reflected.

There is no doubt that this ring is of great value and is unlikely to be sold in the convenience market. And the gift of the ring from the nobleman meant... She couldn't help covering her mouth.

"Miss May, are you willing to marry me?" Carter asked seriously.
