Chapter 262: The Truth Unveiled!
Chapter 262: The Truth Unveiled!
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Lyon's slightly shocked question, Agatha, who was in his embrace, trembled slightly. She then buried her head deeper into his chest, her ears turning red as she shyly whispered, "D-Darling...?"
"..."
I didn't ask you to change the way you address me. I wanted to know why you called me by my real name!
Just as Lyon was stunned by Agatha's, or rather, the Princess's unexpected response, and stood there in a daze, unsure whether to let go or continue the act, the two thousand "fans" in the Drama World above started to scream wildly at the sudden sweetness between the couple.
"I... I can't take it anymore! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"So sweet! This is way too sweet! I'm going to die from all this sugar!"
"Get married! Get married! Don't wait until tomorrow, do it right now!"
"It's so sweet, I'm going to twist and turn! I'm going crazy!"
"He actually changed his address to 'darling'... I... I can't take it anymore!"
It's over... It's all over... Everything has fallen apart...
Looking at the Drama World above, where the pink bubbles were frantically rolling like waves, the Drama Master on the real-world stage couldn't help but go weak in the knees and plopped down onto the floor, his weary eyes filled with hopeless gray.
Clearly... Clearly, I am the Drama Master... I am the creator of this script!
And these damn viewers, do they have any sense of dramatic aesthetics? This play has been completely messed up, with no setup whatsoever, and suddenly, there's a kidnapping wedding. Don't you find this jarring? And the mother of the female lead, who is supposed to be a loving but strict elder, just hands over her daughter after being asked a question? Don't you find this awkward?
Most importantly, what about the second male lead, Elijah? He was in the middle of a heartfelt confession, but he hasn't said a word until now, as if someone else had his fiancee stolen from him. He's just standing there on stage, watching with the male lead's relatives. Don't you find the second male lead's performance... No, that's not right!
Elijah is the male lead I designed! Mr. Joseph is just the second male lead! No, not even that! He's just a side character! He exists only to highlight the male lead's bravery and wisdom, a side character who should disappear after the first act of the tavern scene!
Realizing that his perception had somehow become distorted, even mistaking the identity of the male lead, the King of Drama trembled and raised his arm, gazing at the script of 'The Twelve-Day Tour' on his arm.
As he watched in despair, the script of 'The Twelve-Day Tour' slowly opened. Elijah, who was originally written as the male lead, had somehow completely disappeared, replaced by a name that made him grit his teeth.
[Male Lead: Mr. Joseph]
[Setting: On the surface, he is a spoiled young man from the small town of Ankara, who likes to dress extravagantly and run around. But in reality, he is the heir to the largest merchant guild in the kingdom and a great noble.]
His comical appearance, which seems to be playful and carefree, is merely a means to conceal his true self. Only after the female lead, Agatha, gets to know him deeply and understands his painful and passionate inner world does she gradually uncover his sincere and intense nature.
He has a basketful of struggles! That dog only has a basketful of sincerity and passion!
Looking at the background that had been forcibly altered beyond recognition, the King of Drama couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He cursed a few unmasterly profanities, then felt the world spin before collapsing onto the floor with a thud.
And at this critical moment, among the pink bubbles going crazy above, a certain red bubble, which had successfully set the pace several times at crucial moments, stepped forward once again. With its tiny little legs, it wobbled its way to the highest point, and with a mighty shout, it called out:
"Sisters! Is Mr. Joseph handsome or not?"
"Handsome!"
"Is the new plot good or not?"
"Good!!!"
"Compared to Master Wilde's original work, isn't the new version even better?"
"Yes!!!!"
"If you had to choose between Master Wilde and Mr. Joseph, you would choose Mr. Joseph, right?"
"Yes!!!!!"
"Then it's settled!"
Standing on the platform built by the bubbles, looking down at the dense crowd of supporters below, and the small minority of opponents who were already caught and locked up due to their lack of numbers, the large red bubble let out a sinister laugh. Then, with a smug look on its face, it raised its head and howled to the sky:
"Let's charge at that incompetent Master Wilde! From now on, let the most handsome Mr. Joseph take over the drama world!"
Looking at the 【The King of Drama】 above, with eyes wide open and a face filled with fury, the big red bubble couldn't help but shudder. It then rolled off the platform and instinctively tried to burrow into the pile of bubbles.
Unfortunately, although all the thought bubbles looked similar, most of them were light pink, while this particular one, the leader of the Joseph fan group, was completely red. So, even though it managed to burrow into the bubble pile, it was immediately grabbed by 【The King of Drama】 in the next moment.
As it entered 【The King of Drama】's palm, the large red bubble slightly distorted and then began to rapidly inflate uncontrollably, gradually revealing its true form...
A black goat with a sheepish grin on its face?
The King of Drama: "..." (Damn it!)
Black Goat: "..." (▽)
Looking at the roasted goat that had once been taken away by "Mr. Joseph" and then mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again, The King of Drama was so angry that his whole body trembled.
I knew it! Every time you show up, you lead people astray!
"Um... Master, we can explain..."
Sensing the overwhelming anger in The King of Drama's soul, enough to roast him alive, the black goat couldn't help but swallow nervously and offer an explanation with a sheepish grin:
"Well... we didn't want to do this either, but Lyon... that bastard playing Joseph, he insisted that the official guidance for the audience's actions and the direction of fan discussions after a new drama airs is a basic community operation in this new era.
Um... we don't really understand what he's talking about either, but we're just poor devils working for him. We can't even harvest any souls, so we're just relying on him as our boss to pay us so we can buy some cigarettes to satisfy our cravings... so we have no choice but to follow his orders.
Ahem... so we're not really targeting you, Master. We've watched your dramas too, especially that one with the sculptor's wife and her apprentice, it was so exciting, we're your fans! So, can you just ignore us and treat us like farts, please?"
"Lyon, help! Someone's killing the goat!!!!"
