Chapter 231: Chapter 79: Complete Loss of Control

The giant dragon let out a reluctant roar, stumbled a few steps, and eventually collapsed to the ground amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

This marked the end of the epic battle, but the drama "Death of the Demon Dragon" did not conclude with it.

Unlike the common folk who were simply there for the spectacle, the nobles seated in the front row were all too aware that the real drama had only just begun.

The Lady of Green Field clearly intended to use this method to tell everyone who the Black Hand behind her father’s murder and the subsequent series of attacks was.

The reason she opted for such an extraordinary means to pursue justice was likely because the enemy’s status was too prominent, and she no longer believed that conventional methods would be effective.

However, most people still thought Ireya’s target was still Hels.

The disagreement between her and David might stem from this, as David had previously agreed to uphold justice for the Lady, but Hels was still his brother and also a member of the Figrola family.

For the sake of family reputation, it was very possible that David would recant midway through.

The continuing performance seemed to prove this point again; as the Black Dragon was slain, Gabriel, who had controlled the dragon, was captured by the warriors of the Arias family.

Afterwards, Gabriel voluntarily confessed his relationship with Hels and the plot of Hels’s fake death, causing an uproar among the audience.

The new play performed by Love and Honey Wine involved too many sensitive topics, so Timothy cleverly used pseudonyms instead of real names.

This way, if something really went wrong, they could still argue their case.

However, because each character’s traits were so distinct, anyone who was not utterly ignorant of the upper echelons in the West could tell whom he was alluding to.

The second son of Marquis Kuren, an important member of the Figrola family, was actually the mastermind behind it all!

The revelation shocked the audience even more than the spectacular performance they had just witnessed.

This caused some unrest among the crowd.

Seeing this, the sheriff frowned and called over the guards to maintain order while seriously considering whether to interrupt the show.

Mainly because there were too many spectators this time; if chaos truly erupted, the few guards present might not be able to protect everyone.

He had not made a final decision yet when a new scene had already begun on the other side.

This time, the person who appeared was "Hels," who had previously died at the mouth of the Black Dragon, and some attentive people noticed that the actor playing Hels this time seemed a bit different from before.

Changing actors midway? This isn’t uncommon in theater, but usually only when there’s a significant age change in the character.

It’s quite unusual to switch to a new actor when the age hasn’t changed much.

Initially, Iron Face thought Love and Honey Wine’s approach was a bit abnormal, but as he looked again, his body couldn’t help but tremble immensely.

It wasn’t just him; upon seeing that person, all the nobles present were struck dumb as statues.

Nobody had expected that, after Caroman played Caroman, Timothy could take it a step further and pull off a monumental feat like Hels playing Hels!

Although both were nobles, Hels and Sir Caroman’s statuses were utterly incomparable.

Sir Caroman was willing to help Ireya, which made sense, as he had killed Ruse and inevitably felt guilty about it.

But Hels was Ireya’s archenemy, the ultimate target of her revenge, so why would he agree to act in this drama, unless he was coerced by the Lady?

Thinking about Sir Caroman’s eventual fate, many felt a pang of anxiety for Hels, fearing that he might follow in the former’s footsteps.

Many people sneakily glanced at the Family Head of the Arias family, but saw that he wore a face of surprise, acting rather convincingly.

However, this time they misunderstood Miss Rabbit. Not to mention Ireya, even the playwright Timothy didn’t know where the drama was heading next.

The theater troupe leader now regretted taking on this job.

From the first moment the play started, there had been nothing but problems, and just as it struggled through, Hels’s arrival brought total chaos.

Well, now he, a playwright, could enjoy the thrill of watching the drama unfold with the audience below the stage.

As for Hels, he had already begun on stage to sing of his recent ordeals.

And just as he opened his mouth, Timothy knew he came prepared this time.

Whether it was his singing or his lines, Hels had clearly prepared carefully, describing how he was "killed" by the Black Dragon.

Of course, he didn’t tell the whole truth. In Hels’s story, at a crucial moment, a loyal attendant saved him and pushed him into the river, allowing him to escape death.

But, as his Armor was too heavy, he couldn’t surface and, after swallowing several mouthfuls of water, Hels eventually passed out.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small village, where a beautiful and kind fisherman’s daughter had saved him and then took great care of him.

However, Hels had temporarily lost his memory due to the drowning, until his memory returned recently. Initially wanting to return home, he then heard troubling news.

The new Family Head of the Arias family claimed his father was murdered by him, and his brother also believed that lady’s words, beginning to send people to pursue him.

By this point, the sheriff had grown somewhat impatient and was preparing to apprehend him.

But Dave stopped him with a wave of his hand, saying indifferently, "Don’t rush, let him sing. He can’t run away."

Iron Face was surprised but still halted his step, staring intently at the figure on stage.

Hels smiled back at him and continued his song, saying that upon hearing this news, he changed his mind and decided to clear his name. After some investigation, he finally discovered the real reason Sir Caroman was willing to kill his best friend.

This time, Hels even forwent using a pseudonym, directly singing, "Hugo, the only son of Sir Caroman, the next master of Acorn Castle, this lost little pony fell in love with someone he shouldn’t have~

"She is none other than the wife of Sir Fabrice, the Family Head of the Pope Family. Poor Caroman, to protect his son, had to agree to this dirty deal."

No sooner had Hels finished speaking than someone stood up from below, "Why should we believe your words?!"

"Good question~" Hels plucked his harp once more and sang clearly, "So, let us now have Sir Fabrice take the stage~"
