Chapter 209: Chapter 57 Vigilant Miss Rabbit

Ireya had amassed a little sleepiness with great difficulty, but it had dissipated greatly after such a commotion, and she didn’t continue to lie stiff in bed after returning to her room.

She immediately found a pen and paper, and began to eagerly devise the story of tomorrow’s dragon slaying.

Reality... of course, must be respected somewhat.

As for the process of the battle, from preparation to the end, the young girl didn’t plan to make too many modifications, especially the parts that involved Li Yu and the Double Rest Sect’s contributions, which Miss Rabbit would describe truthfully.

But there was indeed some room to polish the details, like her falling over halfway through the final charge, which seemed clearly unimportant and could be omitted. After all, in artistic creation, it’s essential to include some details and omit others, not to show everything in minute detail.

Also, during the preparation stage, the young lady thought that the dramatic conflict could be strengthened, such as her advisers all opposing Li Yu’s dragon slaying plan, but she had already withstood the pressure and gave final approval to support Li Yu, which was definitely worth focusing on.

Hmm, when the time comes, it can be performed like this: just when everyone feared the Black Dragon’s tyranny and worried that declaring war on it would bring about their own destruction, the new Family Head of the Arias clan stood up and said loudly, "I will never submit to evil!"

Um, this line seems a bit cliché, as it has been used by many a knight novel’s protagonist. Change it to "For the sake of guarding the west, the Arias Family is willing to fight to the last person!"

The intent is good, but why does it still sound a bit stiff?.

The young girl hesitated for a moment, then crossed out the line, deciding to think of something else later, as there was still time... Miss Rabbit made changes and edits absentmindedly until dawn.

She yawned, glanced at the papyrus in her hand, and her dragon slaying story was finally revised to her satisfaction.

After reading it one more time, the young girl’s own role amounted to more than sixty percent.

Since she really couldn’t find anything else to write about, Miss Rabbit inserted copious inner monologues and added some memories with her father to pad out the word count.

It wasn’t just filler, though.

It was necessary to explain where her admirable qualities came from, otherwise the audience might question the rationality of her choices at critical moments.

Ireya was quite pleased with the story and even felt her artistic cells awaken while writing, but ultimately, it had to be judged by a professional.

The Love and Honey Wine Troupe’s troupe leader, who was also the troupe’s chief playwright, was clearly such a person.

After putting down her pen, Miss Rabbit heard a series of knocks on the door.

Ireya opened the door to find a Maid standing outside, holding a wooden tray, on which was placed a jug of grape wine.

The young lady was somewhat puzzled, "I... I didn’t ask for wine."

"Chief Mathis was worried that you had finished the wine in your room, so he had me bring over another bottle," the maid explained.

"But I haven’t even finished the last bottle..."

"I’ll just leave the wine here, please be sure to drink it," said the maid, as she set the tray down on the desk without waiting for a response.

"Uh, okay... sure."

Miss Rabbit was still basking in the joy of having just completed her masterpiece. Although she did find the maid before her somewhat odd, she didn’t think much of it. Feeling a bit thirsty, she reached for the bottle of wine.

But halfway through, she stopped, suddenly remembering what the guards had said last night about a potential assassin infiltrating the Marquis Mansion. The thought sent a shiver down the spine of the noblewoman.

She almost forgot, Hels was also a member of the Figrola family and had lived in the Marquis Mansion before, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he left his spies there.

It would be puzzling for Hels to spare David and come after her instead.

But maybe Hels did it precisely to catch her off guard. After all, David’s defense would be very tight by now, giving Hels no opportunity to breach it. So, he might have turned his attention to her instead.

There were plenty of entanglements between the two.

Hels had murdered her father, and she, in turn, had captured Hels’ accomplice. Whether for the sake of eradicating troubles at the root or out of pure vengeance, Hels had reason to target her.

Ireya felt that she should be more vigilant. She had survived great challenges; it would be a shame to fail now due to a moment’s negligence.

She withdrew her hand and instead picked up the other half jug of grape wine left over from last night from beside her bed. She poured herself a glass to moisten her throat, then buried her head back in her manuscript to make revisions.

It wasn’t until after the noon banquet that David took her to watch the performance of "Love and Honey Wine" as they had planned.

"Love and Honey Wine" was a grand theater troupe from the Royal Capital, renowned far and wide. Ever since their arrival in Rock Snow City, everyone had been looking forward to their performance.

Therefore, on the day of the play, the area in front of the stage was packed with people. Some had queued up since before dawn, while those who arrived late couldn’t even find a place to stand, let alone a seat.

However, that was only the case for commoners. Nobles had a designated viewing area where their seats were at the front row, the closest to the stage, allowing them to clearly see every move and subtle expression of the actors on stage.

As for David, he didn’t even have to reserve a seat in advance; all he had to do was to arrive before the show started, and the best seats would naturally be offered to him.

Although Ireya was a noble too, it was her first time not at her own family’s banquet to sit in the first row to watch a performance, and at the very center, no less.

Before the show even started, the troupe made a special tribute to David and her. They addressed the young girl as the heroine who saved the western region, allowing Miss Rabbit to enjoy the fervent cheers of the crowd once again.

Then, "Love and Honey Wine" officially started their performance.

As one of the top theater troupes on the Continent, whether it was the script, stage effects, or actors’ performances, everything was undoubtedly first-class, incomparable to those small rural troupes. From the first moment, audiences were utterly immersed.

The young lady was no exception. She was so engrossed that she didn’t even notice David quietly leaving her side—until someone else took the seat next to her.

It was an old woman. Miss Rabbit was currently engrossed in the drama and didn’t pay much attention to the person’s appearance. She simply whispered to the newcomer, "This seat is taken."

However, the old woman didn’t get up to leave. Miss Rabbit thought she might have spoken too softly, so she raised her voice a little. The woman surely heard her this time, but she remained unmoved.

Ireya was surprised; she hadn’t expected anyone in Rock Snow City to dare take David’s seat.

It wasn’t until her gaze turned to the person next to her that her expression subtly changed, "Priest Martina?!"

"We meet again, Ireya," the old woman said with a smile.
