Chapter 261: Emblem and
"Agatha?"
Elijah, standing on the stage in a tuxedo, couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw the bride, brought out by a middle-aged noblewoman.
Previously, he had been unable to sleep and had gotten up to go to the beach to gaze at the stars, only to coincidentally witness Agatha being kidnapped. To rescue the girl he deeply loved, but who didn't love him back, he had to return home and accept the marriage arranged by his family as a condition to get their help in finding Agatha.
But what he didn't expect was that the person his family had arranged for him to marry was actually Agatha herself!
This must be fate!
"Agatha!"
Under Agatha's equally surprised gaze, Elijah, also wearing a white tuxedo, couldn't help but take two steps towards her. Amidst the astonished expressions of the guests, he spoke with uncontainable excitement:
"I didn't think it would be... Anyway, it's fate that brought us together in Ankara, and now fate has brought us together again here. I..."
"I'm late, sorry!"
Accompanied by an apologetic voice, although the tone was not very polite, the grand doors of the banquet hall, which had been closed after all the guests had arrived, were slowly pushed open. A man wearing a pure black suit, surrounded by over a dozen guards, walked in with large strides.
He seemed to be in a hurry on his way here, his breathing was slightly disordered, but his footsteps were still calm and powerful. His clothes were immaculate, except for a bright yellow lock of hair on his head, which made him stand out like a lion patrolling its territory.
As this young lion-like man entered the banquet hall, his eyes, like two dark stars, fixed on the beautiful bride in white, without blinking.
"Mr. Joseph?"
"Mr. Joseph!"
Along with the equally astonished cries of the groom and bride, the man, who seemed to be the center of the world, ignored the surprised gazes of the guests and stepped onto the stage, walking steadily towards the bride.
He's here! Not Li, but Mr. Joseph! He's really here!
Watching her lover walk towards her with determination, Agatha's nose tingled, and the world before her eyes became blurry.
In the blurry vision caused by her joyful tears, the man, who only had eyes for her, had already reached their side. He extended his hand to the middle-aged noblewoman, his voice firm and polite, yet unstoppable:
"Mother-in-law, you should hand Agatha over to me now."
"..."
Barging into someone else's wedding with guards and then walking up to the bride's mother to demand that she hand over her daughter... The middle-aged noblewoman's brain was completely overwhelmed by this outrageous and crazy request.
According to her current thoughts, she should immediately fly into a rage, scold him, and have the guards throw him out.
But looking into the man's eyes, which seemed to hold the Milky Way, and listening to his natural tone, the middle-aged noblewoman's hand, which was holding onto Agatha's arm, began to tremble and slowly let go...
...
[With your excellent acting skills and the novel character setting that has yet to appear in drama history, you have successfully created a fake character, "Mr. Joseph, who chases love." You have gained the recognition of 90% of the audience and the enthusiastic support of 70% of the audience in a total of eleven scenes across two major acts and one minor act. Since you have met the conditions for advancement, your Silver Emblem "Elite Performer" has successfully advanced to the Gold Emblem "Master Performer."]
【Master of Drama: To be considered a performer, one must possess a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. To be a performer of excellence, one must master the art of performance. To be an elite among performers, one must also have a deep passion and dedication to the craft. This is the pinnacle of achievement for most.
However, to be deemed a Master of Drama, one must go beyond deep knowledge, exceptional skill, and unwavering passion. They must possess an in-depth understanding of human nature, the ability to create an emotional connection with the audience, and showcase their unique style and artistic vision through innovative interpretations of traditional works. Only then can one be truly called a Master of Drama.】
【Effect: Your knowledge, skills, passion, understanding of human nature, connection with the audience, and innovative artistic style have already elevated you to the status of a Master of Drama. When you perform with intention, your influence and ability to captivate others are unparalleled.
The more unfamiliar the audience is with your appearance, voice, and personality, the more likely they are to believe your performance. If they are completely unfamiliar with you, they might even believe you are the character you portray, even without any obvious clues.】
【Advancement: Once you have deceived the perception of ten thousand people with your exceptional performance skills, convincing them that you are the character you play, this emblem will automatically advance to the Aberration Emblem, "Chameleon." Current progress: 0/100,000】
【Hidden Trait (No Need to Wear): As a Master of Drama with a background in the CEO trope, you possess a distinctive and captivating aura reminiscent of "Mr. Joseph."
With this unique aura, when you make demands of those of lower status or position, their willpower may falter, causing them to unconsciously yield to your requests. This trait has an additional effect on targets of the opposite sex.】
This effect... Even fictional characters in the World of Drama are influenced by it? Incredible! Truly worthy of a Gold Emblem!
Lyon's face remained deeply affectionate and focused as he held Agatha's hand, trembling slightly as he offered it to his future mother-in-law. His eyes gleamed with joy as he gazed at the shining golden emblem of the Master of Drama in his inventory.
This trip to the theater was a stroke of good fortune! His Elite Performer badge had left him clueless about further advancement, but after performing a few scenes with the Princess, it had unexpectedly advanced to the Gold tier, becoming his fourth Gold Emblem after the Martyr of the Wine Country, I Am the Devil, and Skylark Prince.
As Lyon rejoiced over this bountiful harvest, Agatha's eyes welled up with tears. She boldly broke free from the middle-aged woman's grasp and flung herself into her lover's arms like a dove returning to its nest. Her voice quivered as she spoke:
"You love me so much... Lyon... I'll marry you tomorrow, and we'll never part, okay?"
"Yes!"
Lyon nodded, gently caressing the swan-like elegance of his beloved's back as she nestled in his embrace. "I will... Hmm? What did you call me just now?"
