This was an epoch-making script. Mrs. Sizer was sure that the things written in the script were far more explicit than those written by Falosi's playwrights.
Although many of the Falosi's playwrights liked to create plays that satirized the aristocracy,
If "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" was presented in the form of a movie, it would completely strip off the gorgeous clothes of a stage play and present blood and death in front of the audience.
Just the part where the Vampires mercilessly killed the female lead, Matilda's family, was presented in the form of a movie in front of the audience.
It would be a bloody massacre in front of the audience! Not to mention places like Falosi and Noland which had relatively few wars, even countries like the Iron Nation and the Land of Frost, which had strong diplomatic and folk customs, would cause a huge uproar.
But … Mrs. Sizer saw a change in this script. The reason why she looked for Josiah was that the movie had brought changes to the traditional way of performing a stage play.
What was presented in a stage play was indeed too beautiful, too beautiful to be real.
Didn't those barbarians who didn't know how to appreciate it ridiculed this art?
Mrs. Sizer was sure that "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" was definitely not something that the Iron Nation's Prime Minister said was "for little girls".
She was very satisfied with the script, but at the same time, she had a few questions to ask Josiah.
"Is this a love story?"
The script that Josiah gave Mrs. Sizer only stopped at the part where Matilda's family was killed by the Vampires, and then Matilda went to the demon killer, Leon, who lived next door for help.
Mrs. Sizer really wanted to know what would happen next, but with her many years of experience in theater, she could vaguely guess what would happen next.
"This … I can't make a definite judgment, Lady Sizer. Personally, I think that the most charming thing about paintings, novels, and movies is that different people have different opinions about them. Everyone's opinion about a work of art is correct. As for whether 'This Demon Isn't Too Cold' is a love story, you can only judge for yourself." Josiah said.
"I like your point of view. Who are you going to choose as the female lead of this movie?"
Mrs. Sizer asked the next question, which was also the one she was most concerned about.
In terms of appearance and age, Matilda, the female protagonist in the script, was very similar to Carolee, the only protagonist in Black Swan.
"The first choice is your daughter."
Josiah didn't plan to hide it anymore. His plan to abduct someone else's daughter had already been exposed, and Josiah didn't plan to continue hiding it.
"…"
After hearing Josiah's answer, Mrs. Sizer fell into a short period of silence.
Matilda, the female lead of 'This Demon Isn't Too Cold', was indeed very suitable for her daughter. It could even be said that it was tailor-made.
Mrs. Sizer was sure that no matter which country this movie was released in, it would cause a huge reaction. It would definitely be much more influential than 'Beauty and the Demon'.
If Carolee was the female lead, then her reputation as the flower of Falosi would definitely rise to the peak of history. People would remember this classic movie, and at the same time, her name would be remembered.
But … in Mrs. Sizer's opinion, Matilda's personality was a bit too wild.
She wanted her daughter to be elegant and dignified, and she had always taught her that.
"A good actress should be able to play all kinds of roles."
Josiah saw through Mrs. Sizer's concerns. No one wanted their daughter to learn some rough stuff.
In fact, the script that Josiah showed to Mrs. Sizer was already the version that Josiah had edited.
"Let me think about it, but Black Swan will go to Squirrel Street tomorrow. I'll arrange the guards."
Mrs. Sizer was still hesitating, and in the end, she could only choose this compromise.
"Then we'll take our leave for now."
Josiah took the script from the desk and left Mrs. Sizer's study. When Josiah closed the door, the middle-aged butler had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Dinner is ready. Would you like to stay for dinner?"
The middle-aged butler led the way, while Josiah stared at the butler from behind. That faint feeling of incongruity appeared in Josiah's heart again.
"Thank you for your kindness, but dinner is not necessary. Also, is your daughter satisfied with the plush toy I gave her last time?"
Josiah followed the middle-aged butler along the corridor to the first floor of the mansion. When they reached a remote corner, Josiah suddenly stopped.
Hiri, who had been following behind Josiah, seemed to understand something. She quietly tightened her grip on the magic staff in her hand.
"Plush toy …"
The middle-aged butler paused for a moment when he answered this question.
"You don't seem to have given my daughter a present," he replied to Josiah in a calm tone.
This answer was correct. Apart from the last visit to the Falosi mansion, Josiah had not had any contact with this middle-aged butler.
"Indeed. After all, you don't have a daughter."
Unfortunately, even if his answer was correct, Josiah chose to believe in his own intuition and judgment. Gray mist spread from Josiah's hand.
A small amount of Chaos Mana enveloped the butler. It wouldn't cause him any harm, but it was enough to affect some intricate magic structures and make certain races' talents ineffective.
The dim light on the middle-aged butler shattered, and in its place was a tall Dark Elf.
"Is this your original appearance?"
Josiah retracted the Mana in his hand and looked around. They were in a remote corner of the Falosi mansion, far away from the duchess' study. There shouldn't be anyone patrolling here.
After confirming that there was no one around, Josiah looked at the Dark Elf in front of him. Hiri was also wary of her actions.
Josiah had thought that the Dark Elf's original form was a Trickster.
"You can imagine."
She didn't expect the Demon Prince to be so reckless. Even though she was seen through, she still maintained her calm.
"I'm not interested in your race. I want to know who you are … You've been eavesdropping on so many secrets and intelligence from me. In exchange, I have to know something about you, don't I?"
She probably wanted to find out the specific relationship between Josiah and this Falosi noble. That was why she hid outside the study and eavesdropped.
Josiah opened the door suddenly. There was no way to know that Josiah was leaving just by listening to the sound. Besides, she was too confident in her disguise.
