A day later.
In the tower used to imprison prisoners in the castle.
Marina felt that she could write a travel book about her experiences in the past half a month. Not all humans would be kidnapped by demons twice in a row.
Marina didn't find it hard to endure the 24 hours of imprisonment because she was completely immersed in the piano music that sounded from time to time in the castle.
Suddenly, Marina heard footsteps approaching. She came to the edge of the cell and saw a figure that shouldn't be here. It was Belle.
What happened next was just like the story. In order to save her family, the kind-hearted Belle decided to stay in the castle on behalf of her family.
The old Marina couldn't resist Zenas' power at all. She was violently dragged out of the castle and thrown into the garden outside the castle.
The castle gate closed again. Marina fell into the snow and was shrouded in sorrow and despair.
"Madam Marina! Madam Marina! "
At this moment, Marina heard her servant's voice.
Her servant led the old horse across the thorny garden and trotted to her.
"You … still haven't left." Marina looked at her in disbelief. She had only hired this servant with money. There was no master-servant relationship between them.
As a businesswoman, Marina knew that no relationship was more fragile than one that relied on money. However, this servant risked being killed by demons to hide in this manor.
"Honesty is the most basic principle. That's not the point. Madam Marina, quickly get on this horse and leave. It will bring you back to the village and find Mr. Gaston. Perhaps he can save the young lady." The servant said.
"Gaston … Yes, I can find Mr. Gaston for help." Marina remembered that she knew a great magician who could move freely in the Demon Realm. She immediately got on the horse. Her movements were so agile that she didn't look like an old lady.
"Then what about you?"
This was the only horse Marina brought from the village.
`Don't worry, I've found a hiding-place round here, 'said the servant.
Marina didn't refuse. She was a person who knew what was important and what wasn't. After telling him to take care, she kicked the horse's abdomen, and the horse galloped out of the castle.
The servant watched as Marina disappeared into the forest outside the castle. Then, he took off the transformation ring on his finger.
"I can't believe you could say the word 'honest' with a straight face."
Hiri walked out of the woods on the other side of the garden and looked at Josiah, who was standing in front of the snow. As the director behind the scenes, Josiah had taken care of everything from the planning, script, and filming. He had even played many guest roles.
However, this servant role did not belong to the category of a guest role.
"Why not? I'm a demon."
Josiah quickly walked into the castle.
Josiah's rebuttal left Hiri speechless. If it weren't for Josiah's deliberate reminder, Hiri would have almost forgotten that Josiah was a demon prince.
The scenery in the castle hall wasn't as gloomy as the outside. Ever since Ino came to the castle yesterday afternoon, Josiah had been working overtime to film 'Beauty and the Demon'.
Now, Josiah was going to film the most touching scene in the entire story. It was also a scene that could make countless girls scream. It was the scene where Belle and Beast were dancing in the castle hall.
When Josiah walked into the hall, Ino was holding Zenas' hand and dancing in the middle of the hall.
At this moment, the succubus was wearing a gorgeous princess dress. Coupled with her unique charm, she was destined to be the focus of everyone from the moment she appeared. Men and women would be attracted to her.
Three minutes later.
As the music gradually came to an end, Ino and Zenas also gradually stopped dancing.
The moment they stopped, the two demons simultaneously looked at Hiri, who was standing at the edge of the dance floor, instead of Josiah.
Speaking of which, even Josiah couldn't believe that this mage lady, who used to be so poor that she could only gnaw on tree bark every day and occasionally eat rabbit meat if she was lucky, would actually become Ino and Zenas' dance teacher.
"Qualified. Although I don't want to admit it, you guys learn pretty fast."
This kind of ballroom dance wasn't difficult. Anyone could easily learn it as long as they had a good grasp of the rhythm. Although it was known as a noble dance, in Hiri's eyes, it was just two people spinning in circles together. It wasn't interesting at all.
"Then let's end it for now. Zenas, Ino, go take a rest first. Read through the script and prepare for the next scene."
Josiah held the protocrystals that the Banshee passed to him. The filming of this scene consumed a total of seven protocrystals. They were used to record different scenes. Josiah borrowed the seven protocrystals that the Banshee gave him. Pale white mana flowed out of his hand, and he edited the scenes into one protocrystal according to his memory.
Josiah used an inscription to write the number 72 on the surface of the protocrystal and placed it in the storage box.
"Speaking of which, you don't even know such a simple ballroom dance?"
Hiri suddenly asked Josiah.
"If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you to be my teacher."
After Josiah became familiar with this female magician, she became less and less concerned about Josiah's identity as a demon prince. If it wasn't for the 'collar' Josiah gave her on her neck, Hiri would very likely continue to fight with Josiah with the little staff.
"I see. If you want to go to human society in the future, you will definitely need this. Do you want to learn?"
Hiri finally found a chance to be proud. In the past, when she interacted with Josiah, Hiri always felt something called 'IQ suppression.' Whatever Josiah said would always touch on Hiri's knowledge blind spots. This time, Hiri finally found something that Josiah didn't know!
"…"
Josiah looked at Hiri and suddenly remembered the husky he raised on Earth … It was wrong to compare a girl to a husky, but Josiah didn't know why he had this sense of déjà vu.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Hiri."
What Hiri didn't expect was that Josiah would actually choose to humbly ask her for advice.
"Okay … I'll … teach you."
Hiri admitted that her words just now were impulsive. In fact, compared to her childish behavior of wanting to show off to Josiah, Hiri was more affected by Zenas and Ino's performance.
Even though Hiri was a bystander and knew that Ino and Zenas were acting, she was still immersed in this beautiful scene of 'Beauty and the Demon' … Any girl who saw this scene would be affected.
That was why she was so impulsive. However, regret was useless. Josiah had already extended his hand to her, so Hiri could only bite the bullet and take Josiah's hand.
"Put your hand … on my waist." Hiri's body stiffened for a moment, but she still said this in the end.
Josiah followed Hiri's instructions and gently put his hand on Hiri's waist, while Hiri put her other hand on Josiah's shoulder.
At this time, the music started, and Hiri led Josiah to begin another performance of 'Beauty and the Demon' on the dance floor.
It was indeed another performance, but Hiri didn't know if her fate would be as good as Belle's …
It should be possible, right? Hiri lowered her head, but her eyes secretly looked at Josiah. However, before she could dance a few steps, Hiri's beautiful dream was completely shattered by Josiah.
"You stepped on my foot!"
Reality wasn't as perfect as in the movies. Josiah, this new ballroom dancer, ruthlessly destroyed the romantic scene that Hiri had constructed in her heart.
"Sorry …" Josiah's apology was completely useless.
"You stepped on it again, did you do it on purpose!?"
"Can you be a little more lenient for a newbie?"
Although Josiah said this, his mind wasn't on it. When Josiah held Hiri's hand, Josiah discovered that there were many scars on Hiri's hand, even on her arm. Even if Hiri tried to cover it up, at such a close distance, Josiah could still see the scars that were completely different from her fair skin.
