Chapter 3413 A Willing Prisoner (Part 2)

Lith called Fyrwal and asked her to be their guide but she firmly refused.

"First, I'm not your lackey. Second, if I were to show my face there, I'd be pestered to death. Last but not least, I'm already busy. Maybe another time." She replied.

After a light dinner at the King's Table, another renowned restaurant recommended by the Ernas, Lith brought everyone to the Opera House for the play Tale of the Five Heroes.

It was one of the most popular theatrical works in the Kingdom, recounting the lives of the four founding pillars before they met Valeron and that of the First King before he allegedly met the love of his life, Saefel.

It was divided into five acts, one dedicated to each member of Valeron's party, and all of them ending with their first encounter with him. Valeron's act, instead, focused on his early life as a farmer and then his rise to power.

Of course, most of the sordid and unpleasant things Oghrom had done were downplayed to an acceptable level that aroused compassion rather than disgust in the audience. In the same way, Juria Ernas' character flaws were tuned down, making her a righteous knight instead of an overbearing self-righteous jerk.

Fyrwal's and Tessa's lives, on the contrary, were mostly a work of fiction. Very few knew they were respectively a Hydra and a Titania so all the parts about their youth as beautiful and talented human women came from the cover story Valeron had written for them in the Royal Archives.

Their character was depicted correctly but everything that might reveal their real nature had been removed.

As for Valeron, in the play it was a lucky encounter that made him stumble into magic books and he learned everything on his own thanks to his alleged peerless talent. Saefel appeared only at the end of his act, to make him fall in love and craft the legendary set as betrothal gift.

If you doze off or Elina catches you staring in the void because you are working on your magic, you'll ruin the night for her. Try living in the moment.' Kamila had gone all out dressing up, hoping to at least partly make up for her earlier blunder.

'I know.' Lith inwardly whined via the mind link. 'Please, keep an eye on me.'

"Three hours of my life I'll never get back. He secretly added.

The entire female side of the Verhen family was sitting in a royal box of the Opera House, the closest possible to the left side of the stage while also giving an optimal view of the play.

The babies, instead, were inside their Doomslayer crib in the corner of the royal box. They didn't understand the reason behind the ridiculous clothes, the strange place, and

the weird lights but thanks to the Hush spell they heard no noise and smelled no scent. They were free to eat, sleep, and discuss without any stranger staring at them or disturbing them which was a huge improvement from the afternoon.

"Mom, is it normal for toddlers to talk that much?" Tista pointed her evening gloved finger at the babies.

"Not at all. Elina shook her head, making the red streaks covering her brown hair sparkle like rubies under the theatre's magical lights. "Lith, do you understand what they are saying?"

"No more than you do, Mom. Baby babble mixed with Dragontongue is beyond me." He shrugged.

Royal boxes were magically insulated from noise and smell.

Only the voices and sounds from the stage could bypass the spells. It allowed the noble spectators to comment the play without disturbing the rest of the audience and to discuss their private business during the break in between acts.
