087 Phantom of Padtroy (2)
“It’s my first opera, and I’m really looking forward to it.”
Christel de Sarnez, who sat in the seat opposite the carriage, said brightly.
Johann Haynes nodded his chin once and smiled as if painted.
If she had been ill before she fell ill, she would have been able to see the opera at Yeongjuseong Fortress, but it seems to have been the first time since she lost her memory.
She gladly presented her teacher with one of the two tickets to the duke’s palace.
John opened his mouth.
“I was surprised that you invited me.”
“Prince Jesse will have a hard time getting out of the palace, and Sir Elizabeth will be distracted by the escort.”
Christel said directly and smiled.
In short, John was third, but for him this was quite surprising.
He and Kristel had only known each other for over a month.
However, she did not recommend the visit to her parents, who would be in the Duchy of Sarnez.
I’ve never heard of a bad relationship with my family.
I recalled information that John had gathered from the Holy See.
My memory isn’t perfect, so I’m out of my mind. It could have been.
-Multiple, multifaceted…
For a moment, the sound of horseshoes cut through the silence.
Johan rolled his mint-colored eyes that were facing out the window and looked at Kristel.
His eyes, which looked tired at first glance, became sharp.
The woman’s clear eyes were busy looking outside.
She thought she was a bit wary of herself, but now that I see it, it wasn’t because she was suspicious of the foreigner of the Vatican.
It seemed uncomfortable for another paladin to appear in front of Prince Jesse.
The man’s droopy eyebrows curled slightly.
Prior to the full-fledged education, I remembered what Cardinal Aurelie Butier had to say about Kristel’s condition.
Those who have absorbed the divine ‘Blessing of Changhae’.
In other words, Christel had the power of pure water much more than the water attribute paladins who were born and raised in the new country.
It was only natural to collide with Prince Sedric of the fire attribute in every case.
It seemed like he was paying attention to himself while he was busy keeping the prince in check.
Because I want to mate with the prince.
The mercenary created a small breeze at his fingertips.
It was understandable that the two men and women were attracted to Prince Jesse.
However, from a very young age, John had never held anything in his hand, and after becoming a paladin of the Holy See, he lived a life of self-control and half self-control.
It was for this reason that the prince’s ether could be restrained even though he knew it was pure and precious.
Prince Jesse.
-Whuiyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…
A few strands of Johann’s gray hair swayed gently.
In order to fulfill the ‘request’ he received, it was important to get close to not only the prince but also the prince and princess.
I had to earn trust as a human being, not just as a teacher.
“Looks like you’re almost there! The theater is really big. So pretty.”
Kristel leaned towards the door of the wagon.
Growing up looking at only precious things, what was so strange, she looked out the window and spit out admiration over and over again.
John smiled and indifferently threw his eyes through the glass on the other side.
Even though it was close to 8 o’clock, the sun was long and the street was bright.
Then, he witnessed a very strange scene.
A young man dressed as a servant of the opera house was hiding in a narrow alley with a woman.
The two looked at each other, smiled brightly, and kissed each other.
Soon, the servant’s expression hardened.
He opened his eyes with a pale face, but soon lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Then, the appearance of the woman kissing the servant changed. It had the same face as the servant.
it was a beast
“·················ogue.”
John felt goosebumps and stood up.
He reflexively turned his head to follow the movement of the beast, but the carriage was constantly moving and there were too many people.
He disappeared from the crowd in an instant.
Seeing that there were no screams or shouts, I thought it was not an accident right away.
His eyes narrowed.
“I think it will be fun. right?”
Kristel asked Johann for an opinion. He turned his face away.
Suddenly, the carriage was standing in front of the huge opera house.
“The title is ＜The Ghost of Padtroy>, but I don’t know what Padtroy means. Is it just a proper noun?”
She muttered and grabbed a small handbag.
It seemed as if he had not seen what he had seen as he scanned the dazzling buildings along the boulevard.
John thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth. Indeed, it seemed like fun.
He answered.
“A dance performed by three people as one. That’s Padtroir.”

“I see Prince Jesse Penetian, the Moon of the New Kingdom. I’ll take you to the 5th box seat on the 2nd floor.”
The theater owner personally guided us.
Although it was less glamorous than the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Opera Theater had its own unique beauty.
I walked down the round hallway with Benjamin and Canael.
The members of the Imperial Guard stood at regular intervals like sculptures.
Whether there is a separate entrance for the royal family, we didn’t go through the lobby, and we didn’t run into any other nobles on the way.
The employees who saw my clothes or the color of my eyes bowed in surprise as if they were going to pass out.
This was the reaction when I came out of the Imperial Palace. I’m really not used to it.
“If you need anything, please call the servant at any time.”
“Yes, Thank you.”
When I answered, the theater owner knocked on the door in front of sign 5.
Then he grabbed the handle and turned it carefully.
I thought I would see the seats straight away, but the red veil was blocking my view.
She walked on the cloth and whispered to the man inside, ‘Prince Jesse Penetian is here’.
Then a familiar middle-aged man walked out of the box seat.
“Welcome, Prince Jesse.”
·······It happened like this
“Hello, David. Is the prince inside?”
“That’s right. Have it.”
The servant smiled and gestured. I barely made up a smile. Yeah, it wasn’t surprising.
It was an invitation letter sent to the emperor in the first place, but there was no way to give a separate box seat.
She must have accompanied her partner or son.
We followed him into the box seats.
“Wow······.”
The mouth opened on its own. I immediately grabbed the railing of the balcony and was mesmerized by the view of the theater.
The high ceiling and the compartments dividing the floors of the audience were all sparkling gold.
Everything from the tufts on the curtains to the decorations sculpted by successive emperors shone with gold.
The chandelier hanging from the top was only a house building with a little exaggeration.
Dark red velvet covered all the seats and the stage, and on the first floor there was no room for the nobles already seated.
The box seats on the 2nd and 3rd floors were all full.
When I lifted my head a little, I saw the fourth floor, which was also full.
In the midst of the constant hum, the sound of the orchestra tuning the instruments could be heard intermittently.
“Everyone in the neighborhood is out.”
“It’s disrespectful to the royal family.”
A low voice rang in my ears. I then turned around abruptly.
The passenger in box 5 was sitting on a chair and looking up at me.
The twinkling eyes under the black hair were like Aldebaran in the night sky.
If it wasn’t for Tart Tatin, I wouldn’t have been able to go to the opera with this guy.
But even if I turned back time, I would not be able to give up the tart of that day, so I decided to accept the reality.
Besides, it was a meal.
Instead of finding out through the Emperor that Eva was a legitimate duke, I decided to fill her place.
“When did you come? When I left the Imperial Palace, there was only my carriage.”
“Let me discuss my schedule with David.”
No, I don’t mean to interfere with your schedule…
I swallowed a small sigh and sat down with him a space apart.
A total of six chairs were placed in the box seat.
It was quite crowded as there were only three seats.
“Did you have dinner?”
I asked the prince. I chewed the horse well to see if I was hungry.
– Tuk!
Instantly, cold water touched my cheek. I shook my head in surprise. Is the roof leaking here?
“…Kristel.”
I murmured. In the distance, I saw a person waving his arms from the box seat across from him.
The high-pitched pink hair, the blue jacket, and the water drops dancing in front of her nose were clear evidence of the protagonist.
I waved my hand to say hello.
The person standing next to her was Sir Haines, even as she rode the SRT.
When we went to see an opera together, I thought we were talking about the opening performance of ＜The Phantom of Padtroy>.
It was fun meeting the two of them in a place like this, and I burst into laughter.
“Can I come over here?”
I said. To be precise, Christel seemed to be saying that.
She pointed her finger at her and then poke it at me again.
It was me, a great welcome.
In a dark box seat, the female and male actors sit side by side and watch the opera?
It was truly a superb development.
“ether.”
Then the prince muttered in a voice that seemed to penetrate the floor. I looked at him.
“what did you say?”
“Not enough.”
Looking at his darkened iris and annoyed face, his condition seemed to have hit the bottom in an instant.
I couldn’t figure out why all of a sudden. Was it usually like this and then turned into ‘Sady’?
It was difficult to understand the situation because he was a very unpredictable person and did not talk about himself.
He saw the sword he had placed on the wall.
“Isn’t Hye Gum of no help?”
Saying so, I opened up the sanctuary in a small way.
Fortunately, it was before the show started. A round yellow light enveloped the box seats.
The prince just absorbed the ether without answering.
Jeong Eun-seo swears like that because she only says necessary things and does not respond to other people’s words.
-smart
“I will go out.”
At someone’s knock, Canael stood up.
I shook my head and glanced straight ahead. Christel on the other side was nowhere to be seen.
Wait, really? already?
“Princess Sarnez. hello.”
“Hello, Yerang. I brought you something delicious. I want to eat with the prince.”
Canael and Christel’s voices were heard from the doorway.
I laughed and pulled my neck out and looked at the situation.
Still, it would be in trouble if the prince didn’t allow it.
David and Benjamin looked at this side as if asking for an answer from the prince.
As soon as my eyes met the prince, I sent him a desperate signal. tickle tick.
Calm down, man. bring it in Let’s do well from now on. your future girlfriend called wife.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
He opened his eyes first and looked straight ahead.
The eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, but I could now interpret this. It was ok!
“Come in, Princess.”
David met her.
Kristel smiled brighter than the chandelier and entered the box seat.
I thought it smelled great from a while ago, and there was a box of french fries in her hand.
The main character was crazy…
“I see you, Prince.”
“Hello, princess. Can I eat this at the opera house?”
“Hello, Prince. I guess so. The kids were selling them on the first floor.”
It was fiction. I was delighted to receive a paper box from Christel.
There were still piles of hot potato fries piled up.
When I woke up, I saw myself sitting between the two without noticing again.
What if I pretend to go to the bathroom and then come in and ask him to go to the other side?
As I was thinking about it, the prince opened his mouth.
“Why is the sauce on?”
“Isn’t it more convenient than taking a bite to eat? It’ll be dark for a while, so you won’t be able to see well.”
“I didn’t know you liked soggy tempura.”
When Kristel answered clearly, the prince scoffed at him. Don’t fight over food.
– Profitable… Click!
Then, the entrance to the theater closed and the lights dimmed.
I could see the servants scattering between the walls and the pillars.
It looked like the show was finally about to start.
I gently unlocked the sanctuary and handed the forks to the prince and Kristel one by one.
“The princess eats the top with the sauce first, and the prince eats the bottom later…”
– rattle
Something similar to the sound of a landscape came from somewhere. I listened intently, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
The inside of the theater is now completely dark. Even the noisy spectators were quiet as if they had died.
Was it like a notification that the show was about to start?
-Tinkling, tingling…
A clear sound filled the 5th box seat. It wasn’t my mistake.
Besides, the source of the noise was very close to me. Kristel and the prince also looked at me.
I looked around, feeling guilty about the man who rang the bell in the cinema.
-Tinkle, rattle
“what?”
Then, he hurriedly turned around. I don’t even have a phone, so why is there a sound coming from my body?
“······this.”
I hurriedly pulled out what I was holding in my hand.
A small and beautiful crystal paper was scattering pure white light and making a sound.
Soon, the prince’s low-pitched tone pierced Kristel’s ear.
“There is a magician.”
