This epic showdown ended with the Gray-Clothed One's victory. However, the demonstration of Hearthstone didn't cause much of a stir other than attracting some people's attention and interest.
Every noble who visited the World Expo had a mission entrusted to them by their king. They didn't come here just to have fun, but also to fight for as many benefits as possible for their country.
Behind the stage of the Crystal Palace, the Black Swan from Falosi was honored to be invited to participate in the closing performance of the World Expo.
This performance might be one of the most important in Carolee's life. Ever since she gained the title of the Flower of Falosi, this was the first time she stepped onto such a world stage.
A few hours before the start of the performance, Carolee was supposed to stay with her troupe for the final practice.
But now, Carolee was alone in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the stage.
"I said … you have to keep this a secret for me, especially mother. You're not allowed to tell her."
Carolee lowered her tone and said to the Elf girl standing in front of her in a slightly forceful tone.
"But … Missy."
Frey seemed to be in a difficult position. The contract she signed with Carolee was to protect Carolee's life.
But the problem was that Carolee was in a situation where she couldn't even protect herself, let alone the safety of the Flower of Falosi.
This was because Carolee's mother, Mrs. Sizer, had officially told the Black Swan yesterday that she planned to choose an actress from the Black Swan to participate in Josiah's movie.
When the Black Swan's actors heard this news, many of them were filled with excitement because the way the movie presented a whole new world to them had completely conquered them.
After watching 'Beauty and the Devil', almost every actor hoped that they could participate in the movie one day.
But from Frey's point of view, Mrs. Sizer's decision was completely pushing the troupe that she had painstakingly nurtured into an abyss, an abyss filled with flowing magma. If they weren't careful, the entire Black Swan might not even have a goose feather left.
"Josiah is a devil …"
Frey really wanted to tell Mrs. Sizer about Josiah's true identity and use it to make Mrs. Sizer reconsider her decision.
But Carolee stopped her after knowing that her Elf guard had such thoughts.
"Frey, you and I have both come into contact with that devil. Do you really think that he is as dangerous as the church claims?"
Hearing Carolee's question, the Elf girl recalled her memories of meeting Josiah and nodded with certainty.
"Extremely dangerous! My ability … is completely useless in front of him. "
Faced with her Elf guard's stubborn answer, Carolee could only let out a sigh. She gave up on using 'Josiah is a good person' as an excuse to convince her.
She thought about it carefully, and in the end, she chose to speak her true thoughts.
"Do you think that after movies appear in this world, people will still be as passionate about stage plays as before?"
Carolee asked the most important question.
"That …" Frey actually wanted to say something to comfort Carolee, but she realized that she was at a loss for words.
She had watched movies before, and she had to admit that movies were much more interesting than stage plays. She believed that it wouldn't take long before it took the entire world by storm.
"I don't want the audience to come to Black Swan just for the title of 'Flower of Falosi' … And the worst thing is that this title will be forgotten as time passes and replaced by the name of the latest female lead of a movie."
Carolee said self-deprecatingly. Now that such a situation had happened in Noland, Belle's popularity in Noland might have surpassed her, the Flower of Falosi.
She was not satisfied … But there was another reason other than her competitive spirit. Before Carolee could confess to her Elf guard, Frey suddenly disappeared before Carolee.
Because someone had come …
"I didn't expect to meet the beautiful Flower of Falosi here."
Hearing the voice, Carolee turned around and saw a few well-dressed men standing behind her. Carolee recognized them. The one with the highest status was the Crown Prince of Iron Nation. Carolee had met him once at a ball.
"It's an honor to meet you, Prince Tana."
In front of the Crown Prince, even her father, Duke Blackwood, had to show his respect.
Carrie, who had a good upbringing as a noble, naturally knew what she should do at this moment. With a faint smile on her face, she lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and performed an elegant and fitting curtsy to the crown prince of the Iron Nation.
"No need to be so polite. It's a pity that I rarely meet Miss Carolee, but I have to go to the stage to show off my magic machine … I hope to dance with you in the next ball, but I'll take my leave for now."
The Crown Prince and his three friends walked towards the direction of the stage. As they left, Carolee could faintly hear their conversation.
"See, I was right. That Flower of Falosi is like a porcelain doll."
"Does her being here mean that the exhibition has ended and we're going to watch another boring stage play?"
"…"
Carolee's hands that were holding the hem of her dress gradually clenched. This showed that her heart was not as calm as it seemed.
"Miss …"
The elf girl revealed her figure in the shadows. Looking at the current Carolee, she felt that she was a little different from before.
"Frey, the female lead of the next movie will definitely be me. No one can stop it, including you." Carolee said.
"But … I think your mother may have guessed Mr. Josiah's … true identity."
Frey felt the decisiveness in Carolee's tone. Carolee didn't want to lose to anyone on the stage, and she had long been tired of acting on stage. Josiah had undoubtedly opened a new door for Carolee.
"You know? How do you know? "
Carolee was very calm. If her mother forbade her to contact Josiah because of Josiah's identity as a demon, Carolee was already prepared to sneak out.
"Yesterday, I … saw your mother interacting with a person dressed strangely, and that person seemed to be a Dark Elf."
