089 Phantom of Padtroy (4)
“’Esprey’ likes darkness like a beast. Their stock is the corpse of a beast, but they also eat noise and mana.”
Sir Haynes explained. I nodded as I listened to his explanation.
“When it comes to darkness and noise, there is no better place than the opera house. You can hide in the audience and absorb the music and applause.”
“yes. It is difficult to find the corpse of a beast in the Imperial Capital, so I think he may have taken refuge here. When in a hurry, he would have taken the mana of the actors.”
Christel’s eyes lit up as he was listening to my conversation with Lord Haines.
“Shall we just wipe it off? It looks like the whole theater needs to be cleaned with water. Your Majesty may light a fire. With the prince, the ether is enough.”
“Princess Kristel, that will be a little difficult.”
It was Sir Elizabeth who gave the answer. She looked at her friend and smiled as if in trouble.
“This is the emperor. It is different from the ‘Great Subjugation of Beasts’, which is a full-scale battle to hunt beasts. If you catch a beast with great power in front of many people, you will create anxiety among the people of the emperor. The opponent is a low-level opponent, so we do not recommend overreacting.”
“Wow.”
Kristel tapped her chin.
“In addition, His Majesty will ascend to the throne next month. Until then, it is best not to talk about the nobles in any way.”
Indeed, he was the successor to the countess who lived his whole life as the prince’s best friend.
I glanced at Prince Sedric, who stood like a statue.
A paladin who appeared in the Empire was definitely a blessing.
But it was a very different matter for him to knock down a bastard with holy power and spray a sprite shower, and set fire to a theater in the middle of the capital.
Many would praise him as a hero, but some would fear him.
No matter how many people become emperors, they wouldn’t like it.
“Can’t we evacuate the spectators in advance?”
I asked. The four of you stared at me this time.
“I know he can turn into a human. If you move the crowd prematurely, there is a high probability that they will run away in the gap. But is there really no way to identify him?”
It is most certain to lock them up in the theater and catch them.
But I don’t know who he has turned into, so how do you find out?
Moreover, no matter how ‘sneaking’ the route was, there was no way that many ordinary people could be seated in the operation area.
got a pain in the butt
“Since it’s a magical beast, I can’t speak to people.”
Kristel’s head, which had sank, abruptly rose again.
Me and Sir Elizabeth round their mouths. That’s right.
It can only copy the physical condition, so it can’t even have language ability.
Even if we talked to him, he wouldn’t be able to answer. Well, this alone is not enough.
“There is definitely a way to find out.”
Sir Haynes, who was watching us quietly, opened his mouth.
There was a subtle playfulness in the corners of his drooping eyes.
He looked at Kristel and the prince alternately and spoke softly like a breeze.
“It’s a bit tricky, but the people I teach can find it.”
*
“I’m nervous.”
“Calm down, my lord. Everyone will do well.”
Sir Haynes said soothingly.
When he was alone with me, he would always exalt me as ‘My Highness’.
Even if he gave up his nationality and became a member of the Holy See, he came from the Penetian New Kingdom.
I struggled to think differently and glared at the stage.
Me and Sir Haynes were standing at the back of the first floor, against a wall no one was looking at, only breathing.
Eventually, when the orchestra’s brilliant performance was over, the dancers began to leave in unison.
The red veil slowly covered the stage, then quickly opened up to the left and right again.
Finally, the first act was up.
I could barely hold back my laughter at the sight unfolding before my eyes.
“ね.”
No, I couldn’t stand it. The actors on the stage should be…
“Five! My beautiful Daphnis. Are you sleeping so deadly to persuade me to wake you up? Or, truly, that savage God, what is it? Did you take you out of my arms?”
My mouth was wide open. Did you memorize it all?

Our main character, who covered his face with a white half-mask, was boasting his crazy acting skills.
There was a slight twist in the middle, but it was an outstanding performance that was hard to believe for a beginner.
Immediately, unable to contain her sadness, Kristel sat on the floor and looked into Daphnis, who was lying in a black coffin.
Sweat dripped from my palms.
The first act of ＜The Phantom of Padtroy> begins with the dramatic breakup between Daphnis and Chloe.
Daphnis, a ballerino, takes her own life as a hostage to make Chloe a complete prisoner, who has taught and wrote her songs since she was young.
He falls asleep with a potion that pretends to be death, and Chloe believes that Daphnis really died because of him.
It was the result of mixing ＜The Phantom of the Opera> and Shakespeare.
-match!
Kristel reached out and grabbed the man lying in the coffin on the cheek. I was startled.
I need to stroke it!
“Too cold. It’s like a glacier in the North Sea! No, I can’t believe it!”
The vast majority of the audience were so engrossed in her performance that they didn’t seem to notice, but I did.
Daphnis, buried in flowers, the prince clenched his fists!
“Ahh. Annoyed, no. Angry. I want to break the wheel of fate that stole you! But in order to do that, I have to destroy what I have to do first.”
Kristel grabbed the prince’s cheeks and trembled.
Some spectators have already shed sad groans.
But, in my opinion, she seemed to be struggling with the next line and action.
Is it that much? Are you that handsome?
“last······. If this is the last, it’s the last for you. Eupmtsumul…….”
The word she chewed and spit out was ‘Kiss’.
After that, he licked his lips, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Soon, Kristel slowly lowered her face over the coffin.
The prince’s picturesque profile was visible, but no one seemed to believe that it was the real prince.
Pink hair flowed down and blended with jet black hair.
I quickly covered my mouth with both hands. Jung Eun-seo, are you watching?
“Ouch!”
Just before the tip of her nose touched, Kristel screamed and jumped up.
The audience groaned. what a waste!
“Well. it became this Now, sing. you and me… A rhyme engraved with the event.”
isn’t it love? Whether I was puzzled or not, Kristel quickly hit the beat.
The lines are pretty good, so it seemed like he was going to move on to Aria right away.
In fact, it was the most urgent to find the beast.
A new creature that can bring out the deafening noise, the powerful mana of the wizard, and the aggression of the demonic beast.
They were a perfect pair with all the baits.
-♩♪♬······
The tragic and sad melody of the orchestra resounded.
Even though the two did not kiss farewell, the audience easily immersed in the play and understood the flow.
I’m happy but…
“Hmm, hmm.”
Kristel came forward on stage and cleared her throat. That was the signal.
Sir Haynes and I turned and exchanged glances. Following,
“Now! Go Goheon! When, oh? Are you okay?”
Wait, isn’t that?! I opened my eyes wide.
The lyrics and emotions were so unfamiliar to the worldview of ‘Toegye-gong’.
Instead of a love song for Daphnis, ‘Chloe’ was sang a solo song.
The aristocrats murmured at the pitch and tempo playing completely separate from the orchestra performance.
Still, I was happy with the quality. The beast will show a full-fledged reaction!
“Are you coming? or! Work! russia! to the giver?”
The main character recited the lyrics again and again, and scanned the dimly lit audience with his big eyes.
There is no 4th floor, 3rd floor, 2nd floor… I could feel Sir Haynes’ upper arms bulging with tension.
Christel’s voice filled the theater with a roar.
“hell! length? far more! you! 1st floor area A! It’s number 13 in row H!”
– Kwaang!
Simultaneously with her words, Lord Haines jumped to the coordinates.
A white wind ruffled my hair.
I quickly opened the sanctuary and walked out.
A 30-meter-diameter circle surrounded dozens of spectators and sprinkled brilliant gold.
From now on, it’s a race against time!
[Everyone, please stand up quietly and go out in an orderly manner to the front door. From then on, please follow the guard’s instructions until you return home!]
“Yes Yes!”
“Okay, Prince!”
The nobles shook their heads and stood up. The power of the oracle was strong.
Those outside the sanctuary were very confused, but the audience who listened to me calmly lined up and became calm at the same time.
-bang!
“It is the Imperial Guard. Evacuate everyone!”
“A lesser beast has appeared! Action is underway, evacuate!”
The doors opened in turn from the box seats on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the auditorium on the 4th floor.
From afar, the voice of Sir Elizabeth leading the crowd was heard.
I continued to drop the oracles, focusing on where the little children could see.
[Don’t worry. Everyone will be fine. Get out one by one!]
“Aww!”
[Oh, I’m scared. are you okay. Nothing will happen.]
I gently hugged the crying child in surprise and smiled.
The little boy who felt my ether soon stopped crying.
The parents hurriedly bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.
When I gently turned the child over and looked away, the stage was right in front of me.
Looking down at the crowd passing by like the low tide, Kristel took off her mask.
“Teacher!”
She shouted loudly as she looked towards Area A. But Sir Haynes,
“You copied it.”
It was two! The prince walked out of the coffin and immediately drew his sword.
I was astonished to see two men fighting with their white hair fluttering.
It looked exactly the same with no errors.
Copying his physical condition, he was as fast and hard as Sir Haines. However,
– Koo!
The prince’s shadow shot out like a bullet. The theater floor is hollow.
The audience seat was also lit up brightly, but the prince already knew the hint to distinguish the beasts.
It was the same way that Kristel had figured out his coordinates.
“み!”
– Aww!
– Ha ha ha!
The prince’s sword was deeply embedded in the spot where Lord Haines flew away quickly.
The beast also evaded his attack in an instant and made a threatening sound.
The speed of the archbishop-level paladin copy was amazing.
His eyes flashed like luminous stickers. That was it.
A creature that glows in the dark in response to its prey.
That’s why it got the name esprit, or ‘ghost’.
– Whoops!
The man rushed towards the prince with an invisible movement. It’s over.
As long as you can’t use ether or mana and only copy the ‘body’ of a person, you can’t deal with the sword with bare fists…
Then, the demon found me.
– Whoa!
“That!”
I shouted. He took on my form and smiled.
For a moment, the prince’s movements were disturbed.
He blew his fist away and slapped him with his scabbard, unsurprisingly. Are you stupid?
– Puff!
“Then it’s my turn!”
‘It’s easy if you’re a prince!’
Kristel spit out a sad sound and attacked the beast that was rolling on the floor.
I closed my eyes and leaned back under the chair. I felt like I had to complete the task I was assigned to.
I need to check if there is anyone left in the audience,
“Oh, you bastard!”
However, Kristel yelled loudly. I was startled and stood up again.
At the sight I immediately saw, my chin opened spontaneously.
The prince clasped Kristel’s waist with one arm, and with the other, grabbed one of her wrists and brought her lips closer…
“Wow. Almost identical to the cover.”
– Whoops!
The main character had a head-butt in his lower coffin. Watermelon cracking sound!
– Ha ha ha ha ha!
The Demon Beast, who was in the form of a prince, struggled in pain and retreated.
Its appearance faded like a mirage and then became dark repeatedly.
The staggering moment didn’t last long.
Kristel, completely upset, pulled out a long ice spear from her hand,
– Whoop!
– Wow!
He stabbed his left eye deeply. At the same time, the tip of a black sword protruded from his right eye.
A black-haired man who was similar to her was furious, and had a sword pierced from behind.
– aaah!
The witch screamed.
As the prince mercilessly pulled out the sword, the images of those who had been copied over the years floated above him like a TV channel.
I swallowed dry saliva, examining the last seat on the first floor. Now that’s it.
Esprit’s fluorescence eyes were said to be among the vital points.
When the vulnerable body is revealed soon…
– Whoops!
With an animation-like sound effect, a black goblin appeared in front of the two men and women.
Christel couldn’t stand it.
– Spoon!
A sharp ice knife cut the ghost in a straight line. Her pink bangs were wavy. That moment,
-ping!
There was a sound of bullets bouncing. Something small and white rushed into my heart.
