The noise at the scene suddenly froze. Even the tourists around the bar counter put down the wine glasses in their hands and looked at the people of the troupe.
Mey was stunned. "When I was in the old king's city, Mr. Kajen..."
"Gave him advice, right? That's why he doesn't want to see you, "the steward said in a low voice." Mr. Kajen is very disappointed in you, Miss Mey. "
Although these words were spoken in her ear, but her companions were still able to hear the other side's reply, May felt her own hand was instantly grasped tightly by Irene.
This statement was even harsher than an accusation, especially when it came from the mouth of a master dramatist. When it came to the younger generation, their rebuke could be either criticism or encouragement because they had high hopes for them. However, disappointment was a completely different matter. Three years ago, Lin Sanjiu would have been at a loss and even burst into tears.
But now, the first person she thought of was not herself.
She had been the Star of the Western Region for many years and was the backbone of the Star Flower Troupe. She was very confident in her acting skills and abilities. If even she was dealt a heavy blow, what would happen to Eirinn, Tina, and the others? Not to mention Yanzi, who was talented but lacked confidence.
Therefore, Mey found herself surprisingly calm.
She exhaled softly and replied methodically, "Is that so? I think there might be some misunderstanding. It would be best if you can explain it to him face to face. If not, I have to apologize. "
The steward did not expect that Lin Sanjiu would respond so casually. He could not help but frown. "You..."
"Anyway, I hope Mr. Kajen can make further progress in the theater and make a breakthrough in the ceremony. We won't bother you any longer." Lin Sanjiu took two steps forward and turned around. "By the way, please don't call me Miss Mey. I'm Mrs. Lannis now."
On the way back, the weather did not change, but Mey felt the sky was much gloomier. They were silent and no longer as lively and excited as when they first set off.
When they were about to leave, Gait could not help but ask, "Lady Mey, did you and Master Kajen really..."
"Fool, what nonsense are you saying!" Luo Xia fiercely glared at him, "If Sister Mey really had a grudge with him before, why would she take the initiative to visit him? Isn't that just asking for trouble? What disappointment? I think you're just jealous. "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at her in disbelief.
"Hey, hey … The person you're talking about is the master of drama in Graycastle …"
"Actually," Rosia said indignantly, "Neverwinter has become the new king's city, and the Star Flower Troupe is the most popular troupe in the Western Region. Their status has declined, so they naturally won't treat us well. I followed Sister Mey all the way from Longsong to Border Town. Since she came back from the old king's city, she hasn't had any contact with Kajen's troupe. How can I be disappointed? To put it bluntly, they are looking down on Star Flower's short history and lack of fame in the eyes of the nobles. "
"So that's how it is?" Irene had a look of sudden realization.
It was probably because of Luo Xia's righteous and confident voice that everyone regained some of their spirits.
"I was wondering why the steward didn't dare to look Lady Mey in the eye. It seems that he has a guilty conscience..."
"So that's why Master Kajen doesn't want to see Sister Mey?"
"Of course not!" Mey could not help but roll her eyes. "With his fame, why would he be jealous of me? Outside of the Western Region, almost no one knows who I am, but in the whole territory of Graycastle, even in the Kingdom of Dawn, many people have heard of the famous Kajen Fels. You guys are getting more and more ridiculous! "
Everyone immediately shrank their necks.
"Anyway, this matter ends here. Do you understand?" Mey clapped her hands and said, "Go back. We have to continue the filming tomorrow!"
Back at home, Carter also asked about the visit during dinner.
She just brushed it off in a few words.
Regardless of the reason, Mey did not want her husband to be involved.
After all, it was just an internal conflict in the theater circle.
The filming of the magic movie went smoothly in the next few days. The atmosphere that Lin Sanjiu had been worried about did not appear. On the contrary, probably because everyone was holding their breath, the final battle in the palace was exceptionally good. Even Gait performed exceptionally well and would not take a break until he was on point. The atmosphere even inspired the entire Star Flower Troupe, which was an eye-opener for the newcomers.
During the filming, some people even speculated that it was Master Kajen's guidance that made the actors suddenly work hard.
This made Mey feel a little relieved.
It seemed that the accident in the Whistle Hotel did not affect the troupe too much.
Just when she thought that the visit was over, something unexpected happened again.
One day, the steward of Kajen Troupe came to her after the filming.
"My master wants to talk to you, Mey... no, Mrs. Lannis." He had been waiting outside the castle district for a long time. Even his hat was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Without a doubt, he was referring to Kajen Fels, the founder of Kajen Troupe and the master of Graycastle.
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu had a lot of questions in her mind. She even wanted to reject him by saying that she was disappointed. However, she realized that she really wanted to see Kajen... for no other reason than to solve the mystery.
"Can I bring my friends with me?" Mey asked.
"No, Kajen only allows you to go alone." The steward shook his head.
"Sister Mey..." Irene said worriedly.
Lin Sanjiu tilted her head and looked at Irene, indicating that she was okay. Then she took a deep breath and said, "I see. Please lead the way."
...
It was still the Whistle Hotel.
Mey followed the steward to the second floor and entered a spacious study. Standing with their backs against the bookcase were several familiar faces — "Princess" Roentgen, "Bard and Prodigal" Egrepo, "Flying Cloud" Bernis... These were all top-notch actors from all over the world. In "A Prince's Search for Love", Lin Sanjiu had cooperated with them quite well. Meeting them again after so many years should have been full of joy. However, from their cold expressions, Mey only saw contempt and hostility.
This surprised her greatly.
Although she had given up hope for a warm reunion, the Star of the Western Region had the impression that even if there were conflicts between them, they would not show it so obviously. For famous actors, hiding their expressions was just a basic skill. Even if they were facing a newcomer, few of them would be willing to fall out with them. This was different from the busybodies of the Longsong Theater. The more famous an actor was, the more he cherished his fame. However, at this moment, they did not even want to pretend to be polite.
Mey looked at the white-haired old man behind the desk. After several years, Kajen seemed to have aged a lot, but none of the actors present would ignore his existence. These people of the same generation didn't say anything. It was obvious that they were waiting for the drama master to speak.
Kajen seemed to feel her gaze. He closed the script in his hand and stood up.
His first words stunned Mey.
