Right now, Taylin was feeling very uneasy.
When she opened her eyes this morning, she saw a group of people surrounding her. It gave her the illusion that she was seriously ill, lying in bed and about to die, and then a group of relatives and friends came to send her off.
However, it was only after Taylin woke up that she realized that her family had all left her, and the only person in the Falosi Residence who could be considered a friend was the wood elf, Frey.
And the group surrounding Taylin's bed clearly did not include her friend Frey, but a group of maids from the Falosi Residence.
Taylin promptly got off the bed and was about to ask the maids if she had done something wrong again when they dragged Taylin into the changing room next door without a word.
After that, Taylin enjoyed the meticulous care of the Falosi maids. They busied themselves in the changing room, preparing to turn the rather unkempt elven girl who had just woken up into the most dazzling star of Black Swan.
Taylin's drowsiness was completely awakened by the battle. A second ago, she was still sitting in the fitting room, and the next second, she was thrown into the bathtub sprinkled with flower petals. After the maidservants cleansed Taylin's body cleanly, Taylin's eyes widened.
They promptly took out dresses so extravagant that Taylin thought she would never be able to wear them in her life, as well as a bunch of cosmetics to arm the elven girl.
About thirty minutes later, the Frost Elf who had just woken up with a face full of dispiritedness and exhaustion had transformed into a beautiful young lady whose beauty could rival the legendary Flower of Farosi. If she were on Earth, she would be a model on the cover of Time magazine.
The series of actions of the maids left Taylin very … flattered.
Ever since she joined Black Swan, she had been playing a small, invisible role that couldn't even be considered a side character. Moreover, she did not have a surname or family background, which meant that she was ostracized and isolated by some of the female actors in Black Swan …
Her position was no different from an ugly duckling among a flock of black swans. Well, calling her an ugly duckling wasn't quite appropriate — she was more like a dodo bird.
Even if she was rare and close to extinction, no one thought much of her.
The sudden and grand treatment left Taylin with the illusion that she would be offered as a sacrifice to a dragon in the next second.
There was such a legend in elven poetry that hundreds of years ago, the Frost Elf had awakened a dragon from its slumber in the snowy mountains. Every once in a while, they would offer an elven girl to the dragon in order to appease its rage.
Taylin wanted to know what happened today, but the maids didn't give her the chance to ask. They simply pushed the Frost Elf through countless corridors until they arrived at Black Swan 'rehearsal.
It was then that Taylin noticed that most of the Black Swan members were present, and they started whispering when they saw Taylin.
Taylin didn't hear the specific content clearly, and she didn't bother to listen until the maids pushed open the main hall of the rehearsal room.
This was the largest room in Falosi Residence, and its area was no smaller than a small performance hall in a theater.
And on the center stage, Taylin saw the orchestra responsible for the background music of Black Swan playing a piece that she had never heard before … When Taylin stepped into the performance hall, the orchestra suddenly stopped.
Soon, Taylin arrived at the center of the performance hall. She saw the owner of Falosi Residence and the Chaos Demon, Josiah.
At this moment, Taylin suddenly understood. This time, she wasn't going to become a sacrifice to a dragon, but a demon.
The Frost Elf was pushed in front of Josiah and Mrs. Sizer. Mrs. Sizer sized up Taylin …
To be honest, when the Blackwood Elves first brought this Frost Elf to her, Mrs. Sizer had high hopes for her. After all, the beautiful appearance of the Elves was there for all to see. If she had the slightest bit of talent, she would definitely be able to make a name for herself in Black Swan.
But reality proved that this Elf maiden who couldn't even lie, wanting to become a qualified actress was no less difficult than asking a dwarf to become a tailor.
For the sake of the Blackwood Elves, Mrs. Sizer wouldn't be too strict with this Frost Elf. But no matter how much the Dodo followed behind the Black Swan, it couldn't fly. And today, Mrs. Sizer finally found a suitable opportunity for her to leave the troupe.
"Taylin, I know you desire fame like everyone else, but Black Swan isn't suitable for you … And my Mr. Josiah thinks that you have the value of being groomed. So now, you have two choices in front of you. Continue to stay in Black Swan, or accept Mr. Josiah's invitation."
"Lady Sizer!"
Without waiting for Taylin to reply, the Blackwood Elf, Frey, removed the Inscription of Invisibility and stood in front of Taylin.
She hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Sizer and lowered her head, speaking with a pleading tone.
"Please don't believe the demon's bewitchment … Taylin is very important to us Elves."
When Frey said the word 'demon', many of the Black Swan actors revealed expressions of disbelief.
Although Mrs. Sizer was already aware of Josiah's true race, she didn't announce it to the public. And the Black Swan actors kept guessing the young director's true identity.
When Josiah was on the set, many young actresses tried to strike up a conversation with Josiah, but Josiah's personal assistant, Miss Hiri, was too outstanding. She was so outstanding that she easily persuaded the actresses to give up.
Although his true identity was exposed, Josiah didn't feel angry. Instead, he gracefully smiled at the surrounding actors.
Josiah's purpose in coming to this world was to spread the word that demons weren't evil thugs like the church said.
If even Josiah thought that demons were a disgrace, then he was truly hopeless.
The surrounding actors only stirred up a small commotion, but there was no panic. Many of the people in Black Swan were fans of "Beauty and the Demon."
Although the church's minions were indeed everywhere in Falosi, Mrs. Sizer herself belonged to the faction that hated the church. Of course, there weren't many die-hard fans of the church in her troupe.
Moreover, how much was faith in a god worth in the face of a person's reputation, status, and enjoyment?
