The etiquette between the nobles in this world was very complicated. Different countries had different etiquette, and it was difficult to appear cultured in front of the nobles.
At the very least, Josiah, who was a demon prince, had never received any etiquette lessons.
Fortunately, after coming to Noland, everyone was a teacher and student, and there was no need for such complicated and useless etiquette.
That was why Josiah only needed to imitate Hiri and bow to the Duchess.
"I thought Ms. Beaumont would be older."
Mrs. Sizer was wearing a heavy dress. She lifted the hem of her dress and slowly approached Josiah. Her gaze immediately fell on Hiri.
The owner of the mansion might have mistaken Hiri as the original author of 'Beauty and the Beast', the famous French literary writer, Jean Marie Le Prance Beaumont.
"It's a pity that Madame Beaumont passed away a long time ago. This is my assistant, Hiri Leuder, and I am the screenwriter and director of 'Beauty and the Beast', Josiah."
Josiah gave her a brief introduction. Josiah did not reveal his surname.
In this world, surnames and emblems represented a person's identity. Although only a few people in this world knew what Josiah's surname, 'Arnold', represented.
However, Josiah had to avoid the possibility of his surname scaring the noble lady.
Because it represented the surname of the Chaos Demon, it would only increase the vigilance of humans and not 'I've heard of you for a long time'.
"Has she passed away? That's a pity. Although I've never heard of the name of the original author, I believe the original work of this play must be an outstanding work. "
No matter what, Mrs. Sizer had been in the Falosi theater circle for more than a decade. Apart from the screenplay being personally written by the screenwriter, there were also some adaptations of famous novels and biographies.
The cast list behind the scenes revealed that 'Beauty and the Beast' was an adaptation of the story.
Although the death of the original author made Mrs. Sizer a little sad, she was more looking forward to meeting the person who made 'Beauty and the Beast'.
A servant standing behind Mrs. Sizer whispered in her ear for a while, as if telling her something about Josiah.
Josiah had never appeared in any events related to 'Beauty and the Beast', so although the name of the producer of 'Beauty and the Beast' had been made public, the specific appearance was still a mystery.
The servant should be Mrs. Sizer's spy in the Baijinghua Theater. After his confirmation, Mrs. Sizer believed Josiah 'identity.
"Please have a seat. It's been a long time since I've received such a talented young man."
Her servant had already set up a table and three chairs in the garden. The table was filled with enough desserts to fill one's stomach.
Josiah and Hiri did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly, while Mrs. Sizer sat across the table.
The long, flaxen-haired noble lady had wrinkles on her face that couldn't be hidden even with makeup, but it didn't stop people from praising her as a 'beautiful lady'.
As expected of the mother of the legendary flower of Falosi, she must have been a beauty that could make countless men fall for her when she was young.
"My name is Carana van Donal, the wife of Duke Blackwood of Falosi. You can call me Mrs. Donal, or Mrs. Sizer."
She also gave a brief self-introduction. The first name of the Duke of Falosi was Caesar, and his last name was Donal.
"Well, may I ask why Mrs. Sizer invited me here?"
Josiah declined a servant's request to add sugar to the black tea, and he didn't have the intention to pick up the teacup.
In fact, Josiah didn't plan to stay long at this afternoon tea. Perhaps the noble lady invited Josiah over to talk about art.
But Josiah didn't like this restrained atmosphere. Josiah couldn't get used to the flattery between nobles, as well as the troublesome honorifics and etiquette.
On Earth, Josiah was used to lying on the sofa with a cup of Coke and chatting with his colleagues in the game.
He was used to freedom, so of course he couldn't get used to this afternoon tea party where he had to wear the chain of etiquette.
If he found a sofa, maybe Josiah would have a chat with the noble lady for a while. After all, the garden had a nice view.
But … to be honest, the chair Josiah was sitting on was uncomfortable.
Hiri could be considered a lady in this situation. Josiah didn't touch the teacup, and Hiri didn't have any intention of touching the snacks on the table.
"As you can see, Mr. Josiah, I'm a loyal fan of 'Beauty and the Devil'. I originally wanted to complain about the ending of the show, but yesterday's meeting gave me some comfort. Today, I'm here for you, Mr. Josiah … and I'm eager to know how that thing called 'movie' is made."
This time, Mrs. Sizer represented Falosi to participate in the Universal Exposition in order to find the magical machines that could change this era and the talented young spellcasters.
Josiah undoubtedly met both requirements. Whether it was the film shooting skills that Josiah mastered, the outstanding movie 'Beauty and the Devil' on his first try, or Josiah's appearance was' pleasing to the eyes' of any woman. Therefore, Mrs. Sizer was very fond of Josiah.
"Unfortunately, Mrs. Sizer, I don't intend to share the film shooting skills with anyone for the time being."
Josiah couldn't share them even if he wanted to, but he had no problem selling them.
The products of the Chaos Devil were the only ones, and Josiah didn't even need to register the patent.
The inscription used for the magical machine that could film was influenced by Josiah's Chaos magic. Although Josiah could replicate and make a second one, if he were to teach others, Josiah could only scratch his head.
Currently, Josiah wasn't lacking money. The daily income from Hearthstone was almost bursting Josiah's coffers. Now, what Josiah lacked were two other things — talent and filming locations.
"But I'm willing to teach others how to film."
