A week later. Falosi.
"Looks like it was just a false alarm."
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Dias, stood on the high platform of his manor and watched the three knights leave.
Ever since His Majesty Querendo III summoned all the noble representatives in Falosi, the entirety of Falosi had fallen into the threat of the Nephilic Judges.
Even Minister Dias couldn't help but suspect that the Nephilic Judges had infiltrated his family.
Before the great families could use all sorts of methods to investigate within the family, His Majesty the King had specially organized a group of 'Inspecting Knights' to determine if certain people had been replaced by the Nephilic Judges.
Today, this group of knights had arrived at Minister Dias's family, and the final inspection result was that everyone had passed.
Including the servants, over three hundred people in the family were all 'real'.
Minister Dias walked back to his study from the high platform and picked up an invitation on his desk.
This invitation was personally delivered by His Majesty the King to Dias's manor.
Minister Dias tore open the invitation and glanced at its contents. His emotions were very complicated.
The invitation was written by Querendo III himself, and the general content was to invite Dias to the Falosi's Central Theater to watch 'the first appearance of a great masterpiece on the Falosi stage'.
Of course Minister Dias knew what this great masterpiece was referring to. Ever since Mrs. Sizer returned to Falosi, the entire Falosi, be it the nobles or the masters of the art world, were all discussing this topic.
And that was the 'movie' that was far superior to the stage.
To be honest, Minister Dias was a conservative. When he was young, he was the manager of Falosi's somewhat famous' Explorers' Troupe '.
His passion for the stage when he was young led him and many other Falosi artists to believe that movies could never replace the stage!
But his confidence in the stage cracked a little after watching 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'. And now, the new movie 'Avatar' that even His Majesty Querendo III was so optimistic about was being screened today.
Moreover, it was being screened for the first time in Falosi's most prestigious and sacred Central Theater.
Minister Dias couldn't help but sigh. The end of the play might really be here.
He gripped the invitation tightly and looked at the huge oil painting hanging in the study.
The oil painting depicted all the members of the Pathfinder Troupe. Standing at the forefront of the painting was Minister Dias' wife, who was also the female lead of the Pathfinder Troupe.
"Muna, maybe I should do something." Minister Dias mumbled to himself. However, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, a special envoy sent by His Majesty requests an audience." A servant's voice came from outside the door.
Yet another special envoy was dispatched? Didn't the invitation for the movie already arrive? Could it be that he was urging them to hurry over?
"Let him in." Minister Dias did not dare to slight the king's special envoy. Under this order, another envoy walked into the study with another letter.
"Does His Majesty have any new orders?" Minister Dias asked carefully.
"Congratulations! Count Dias, you have been appointed as the Iron Nation's diplomatic ambassador. "
"What?"
Dias thought for a moment that he had misheard as he listened to the envoy.
How did a little internal affairs minister like him suddenly become a diplomatic ambassador?
"'Dias, I know that you once built a theater in Iron Nation. I hope to share this great work with the people of Iron Nation, and I entrust this mission that will be remembered by the world to you! We will discuss the details after we finish watching the movie. 'These are the exact words that His Majesty Kerendo III entrusted me to pass on to you. "The envoy loyally said Kerendo III's words and then presented the letter in his hands with both hands.
"To … to Iron Nation's … theater?"
Dias received the letter with trembling hands after he finished listening. He then swiftly tore open the envelope and skimmed through the contents. After he finished reading, Dias's legs gave way and he collapsed onto the chair behind him, a little unable to stand steadily.
"Count Dias?"
The envoy was slightly surprised. He didn't think that the contents of the letter would cause this minister to panic like this.
"You … you may leave." Dias' breathing was a little erratic. He waved his hand and dismissed the envoy, "Leave me alone."
The envoy had no choice but to leave the study after receiving this order, leaving the minister alone.
Minister Dias' face was filled with bitterness as he read the contents of the letter and the letter of appointment.
If this was the twenty year old Dias, he would definitely be full of confidence and dedicate all his passion to the mission the king had entrusted him with.
But now …
Minister Dias' gaze once again looked at the oil painting on the wall, at the woman smiling at him at the center of the painting.
"Muna, is this the answer you're giving me?" Minister Dias' expression grew even more bitter as he thought back to the past.
He had once tried to spread Falosi's stage plays to Iron Nation so that the people of Iron Nation would also like this form of art.
That was why he founded this troupe called the Explorers, and his wife was also passionate about this cause.
But the end result was heartbreaking. The people of Iron Nation who worshiped martial arts did not like Falosi's' weak 'and' childish 'performances at all.
When he and his wife toured Iron Nation back then, not only were they looked down upon by others, they were even evicted with malicious intent a few times.
It could be said that the people of Iron Nation had a natural disdain for Falosi's art.
After so many years, the Explorers Troupe had disbanded following the death of the female lead, and Minister Dias had almost forgotten that he had once built a theater in a country of Iron Nation.
But with this letter of appointment from His Majesty, all the 'dark history' that Minister Dias had wanted to forget came flooding back.
Minister Dias stood up from the table with some difficulty.
His past attempts made Minister Dias understand that it was impossible for the people of Iron Nation to accept Falosi's plays.
But this was the king's order, and Minister Dias seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
He walked out of the study with a heavy heart and went all the way to the manor's entrance.
"Father, you don't look too good." His daughter had been waiting for him by the manor's carriage for a long time.
"Don't worry about me, Rorona. I'm looking forward to watching your stage … No, I should say movie." Minister Dias opened the carriage door and sat inside.
"Too bad I'm only playing a small role in it." The girl called Rorona said.
"You'll have the chance to become the female lead in the future."
Minister Dias comforted her absent-mindedly before looking outside the carriage.
