"Give me your hand," Cersei said.
Josiah generously stretched out his hand. Anyway, Josiah had never done anything guilty, so there was nothing to hide in front of this watcher.
Even if the female magician in the room was discovered, Cersei would only ask Josiah to repatriate the human back to the human world out of consideration for the safety of the royal city.
That's right … repatriation, not direct execution.
Cersei was one of the leaders of the conservative faction in the Demon Realm. As a watcher, she had always hated meaningless killing.
Josiah's hand was held by Cersei, and she directly pulled open Josiah's sleeve to reveal his arm.
Josiah had a deja vu like when he went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and those old traditional Chinese medicine doctors felt his pulse.
"Magic power is not chaotic …"
Cersei once again put her hand on Josiah's chest. This action allowed her to close the distance between Josiah. Josiah could even smell the body fragrance coming from her body …
It was a bit like the smell of gooseberries and lilac flowers mixed together.
"Fortunately, there are no sequelae left."
"Sister, what do you want to do?" Josiah pulled up his sleeve and glanced at Cersei.
What Cersei was doing now was not so much searching for a criminal, but rather checking Josiah's physical condition.
"Have you forgotten the last time your magic power went berserk because of an experiment?"
"Of course not."
Josiah remembered that this was the memory of the Third Prince before he went to the human world. He couldn't control his magic power in an experiment and was almost swallowed by Chaos. In the end, although he controlled the berserk magic power, his soul and body were greatly damaged.
Since that accident, the Third Prince had made up his mind to go to the human world to learn new magic. After that, Josiah's memory became a bit fuzzy.
He vaguely remembered that when the Third Prince used the last bit of his soul power to summon Zenas, his scattered soul met himself in another world.
"Don't worry, I'm recovering well."
Although Cersei still had a serious expression on her face, Josiah could see the worry in her eyes, so he spoke up in hopes of calming her down.
"Don't … do it again."
Cersei straightened Josiah's collar and said to Josiah in a serious tone.
"Yes."
"I still have work to do. I need to get rid of the human in your room and the human you sent to prison as soon as possible. The prison is not your hotel."
The scope of work of the watchers was not within the Imperial City. They roamed the darkest corners of the city all year round, dealing with all kinds of vicious criminals.
That was why Cersei had specially returned to the imperial city to see Josiah.
Josh stared at Cersei's back as she left. He realized that the relationship between the third prince and his siblings wasn't that tense.
Josiah even had memories of his eldest brother teaching his second sister and the third prince magic.
Apart from the identity of the royal family and the demons, it was a very ordinary family that supported and took care of each other.
But this kind of relationship … as the siblings grew up, it became thinner and thinner.
Josiah thought that everyone was like this. Were they so cold-blooded that they could ignore family?
Josiah felt that the answer was no.
There was a passage in the famous writer Haruki Murakami's "Dance, Dance, Dance": You have to be a quiet adult. Don't be emotional, don't think about it secretly, don't look back. Go and live your other life. You have to be obedient. Not all fish will live in the same sea.
That's right … not all fish will live in the same sea.
The eldest brother, Nogus, grew up in the Stronghold and armed himself with the identity of a great general in order to use war one day to make the humans acknowledge the status of the demons.
And the second sister inherited the management of the capital and wore the mask of a monitor. She used this identity to manage the order of the capital, but she had a conservative attitude towards the relationship with the humans. She hoped to maintain the existing peace rather than war.
For their own ideals, they, who had become adults, had to stand on the opposite side. Josiah could already imagine the blood that would flow like a river in two years for the inheritance.
From Josiah's point of view, whether it was the winner or the loser, they were all very sad.
For the sake of power, those who had to attack their own family were the most sad.
Josiah thought that there was still a possibility of change. It was not difficult to change a person's mind, as long as there was a suitable opportunity.
It was just like how many people could believe in love after watching "Titanic".
Whether it was movies, music, or novels, the essence of their birth was to give the audience a kind of power.
The time for literature and art ended here. Josiah felt that the mage lady's legs should be numb from squatting.
"They've already left, Miss Hiri."
Josiah closed the door to his room and went to the bookshelf. He found a sheepskin scroll on the leftmost side of the bookshelf.
"Do you plan to execute all those humans?"
Hiri walked out from behind the bookshelf. She had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Josiah and Cerxli.
She clearly heard the words "get rid of" the three executioners.
"Execute? That's too troublesome. I plan to release them. "
"Release …?"
Hiri asked again as if to confirm that she didn't hear wrongly.
"The Demon Realm is very short of food. There's no reason for me to raise a group of humans I don't know. In a few days, I plan to release those villagers back to their original villages. Or rather, I'll personally rescue them."
There were 57 humans that Zenas kidnapped from the Demon Realm. Other than Hiri who was lucky enough to escape, the others were locked in the Demon Realm's prison.
Most of these humans were survivors of the village that was ransacked by the bandits. Josiah had already thought of how to deal with these villagers.
That was to release all of them! No, not release. It should be said that Josiah personally rescued them from the Demon Realm's prison!
"Beauty and the Beast" had a total of three major scenes. The town at the beginning, the snow mountain on the way to the castle, and the castle.
The town that Belle lived in was only second to the main scene, the castle.
There would definitely be residents living in the town. These were all extras. Although extras were not valued in the crew, they were just passers-by.
But a good movie required a group of excellent extras. They were one of the most important existences in creating the overall atmosphere of the movie.
In this world where there weren't even actors, where could they find extras?
Even if Josiah randomly pulled some humans to play cameo roles, there would definitely be problems with their acting skills.
The final conclusion was very simple. A person's acting skills were always the best when they were playing themselves!
Josiah decided to use the villagers and the village as the "town that Belle lived in".
In "Beauty and the Beast", there was also a hunter called "Gaston" living in the town. He was tall and handsome, and was very popular among the residents of the town. He had always been trying to pursue Belle, but because of his boorish and arrogant behavior, he was never accepted by Belle.
Gaston was also an indispensable character in this movie. Josiah no longer prepared to look for other actors. Josiah directly went to the town to play this role.
And then, Josiah only needed to play the role of a human hunter who mistakenly entered the Demon Realm. He broke into the prison where the villagers were locked up and rescued them all.
The villagers naturally worshiped Josiah, or the character "Gaston".
It was true that life was like a movie, and a movie was like life.
Perhaps after the filming ended, the villagers wouldn't even know that they were living in a story written by Josiah.
But as long as the story was good enough, they wouldn't have any objections even if they knew, right? For example, the female magician in front of him.
"Then can you save me as well?!"
Hiri began to regret using the ring so recklessly. That was three years' worth of food money.
"Unfortunately, I can't."
Josiah shook his head to express his rejection.
"Why! I was also kidnapped by you. "Hiri was about to cry.
"Because you know too much."
