Chapter 346

The actors who were not in the first act stepped aside, leaving enough space in the classroom.

The little maid, played by Mu En, followed closely behind Losweiser, and the mother and daughter circled around the middle of the classroom.

"Your Princess, that despicable enemy knight is locked in the cell ahead. We are about to interrogate him." Mu En held the script and read the lines aloud in a serious manner.

I must say, the daughter's delivery of lines is quite good, and her tone is very natural.

In particular, the phrase "the despicable enemy knight" was pronounced so clearly and emotionally, that one could not detect a trace of pity for the old father.

The phrase "Your Princess" made Losweiser feel over a hundred years younger.

Before becoming Queen, who wasn't a little princess who was cherished and pampered?

Bringing her thoughts back, Losweiser began reciting her lines:

"Very well. But before that, let me speak with that knight alone and see if I can glean any useful information."

"Yes, Your Princess, please be careful."

"Yes, I will."

Mu En stepped aside, while Losweiser, holding the script, strode forward.

Meanwhile, Leon had also disguised himself as a captured knight.

Although he hadn't even started reciting his lines yet, he had already perfectly and vividly portrayed the character's defiance, humiliation, and stubbornness after being captured.

Damn it, General Leon, your acting as a prisoner is so skillful it's heartbreaking.

Do you have any secrets? (scratch that)

Losweiser looked at him, barely suppressing a laugh.

She stepped forward, stood in front of Leon, and began to recite her lines.

"Oh, my dear prisoner, you are more handsome than I thought, but unfortunately, you are in a sorry state."

After reading this sentence, Losweiser frowned slightly.

Something about this line feels a little off...

She glanced at Noa and Helena beside her.

Since neither the director nor the screenwriter called for a stop, she couldn't stop acting and had to continue.

But before she could speak, Helena said,

"Wait a minute, Auntie Losweiser."

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm... I didn't think there was anything wrong with this line when I was writing it. But when it came to actually performing it, I found that it was a bit inappropriate."

Helena, holding the script, analyzed the situation logically and with evidence.

"The Princess in our drama is an excellent and proud person. She has everything under control, which foreshadows her unexpected love for a knight from an enemy country, creating a contrast and a plot twist."

"So now that she has everything under control, she probably won't say something like 'It looks better than I thought'... We need to revise that."

As she spoke, Helena looked up at Claudia, her eyes seemingly pleading for help.

"Your analysis is correct, Helena. So how should it be revised?" Claudia asked.

"This..."

Little Sea Dragon girl scratched her forehead in confusion, feeling a bit bewildered.

She stared at the script, which was covered in revisions, wondering how to express the Princess's character with a single line of dialogue.

"I have a suggestion."

"Losweiser suddenly said."

Helena looked up at her and said, "Auntie, please tell me."

Losweiser put down the script in her hand, slowly turned her head to look at Leon, and then gently lifted his chin with her finger.

She met Leon's dark eyes, her gaze gentle and her breath sweet.

"He's a tough and handsome man; the scars are practically the perfect feature of his face."

Her voice was charming but not frivolous, and her expression was disdainful yet somewhat arrogant.

It perfectly matches Helena's vision for the female lead in her script.

"Yes! That's the feeling! Auntie, you're amazing!" Little Sea Dragon girl said excitedly.

Haha, how could it not be great? That was the first thing your aunt said to your uncle back then.

Claudia, standing next to her, gave her an "I see" smile.

However, everyone's attention was focused on the male and female leads at this moment, and they did not notice her expression.

"But... the dialogue is great, but it still feels like something's missing... conflict?"

At this point, Claudia offered a suggestion. "Dialogue alone can indeed reduce the sense of conflict. You can try using physical actions to enhance the sense of conflict between the characters."

With the help of a professional, Helena suddenly realized what was going on.

She and Noa studied several moves on site.

However, none of them achieved the feeling they wanted.

Just when they were at their wits' end, they heard Losweiser say something else.

"Auntie also has a good suggestion regarding body language."

With that, Losweiser raised her tail and slowly wrapped it around Leon's neck.

"Wow~ Auntie, you've only glanced at the script and you've already figured out the female lead's character!" Helena exclaimed.

That's not only your female lead character design, but also my aunt's character design back then.

"The Dragon Queen... it's just acting, there's no need to be so realistic..."

"Please be patient with us for the sake of our children's artistic pursuits, honey."

"... You win!"

That being said, Losweiser still managed to control the force of her tail.

We can't really replicate that "glorious feat" one-to-one.

Next, the couple continued reciting their lines.

The script was revised multiple times as rehearsals progressed, becoming more and more complete, and the lines became more in line with the plot and characters.

In just one morning, they had already rehearsed the scene where the male and female leads develop feelings for each other, but the male protagonist has to return to his hometown.

During lunch, Helena repeatedly praised the couple's acting skills.

"Uncle and Aunt, you really brought out my expectations for the character! It felt so right! Your acting was perfect!"

The couple exchanged a glance.

Hmph, baby, let your aunt and uncle teach you a lesson:

Life is like a play; there are no acting skills, only memories.

The rehearsal went smoothly all day.

Moreover, whenever scenes involve the emotional changes between the male and female leads, Leon and Losweiser are able to deliver masterful performances through their skillful acting.

Like the story of "They say they don't love each other, but they're actually willing to risk their lives for each other";

Or something like, "Today, you have to express your feelings, whether you like it or not."

Helena was very curious about the couple's superb acting skills.

According to Noa, Auntie Losweiser is a workaholic who spends most of her time dealing with clan affairs and has no extra time to study performance techniques.

Uncle Leon, on the other hand, is a warrior dad with all six-sided stats maxed out. He's proficient in everything from playing musical instruments to singing, singing, and even swords, spears, magic, and physical combat. But unfortunately, "acting" is not among them.

However, this couple managed to portray the awkward yet loving relationship between the male and female leads in the drama so vividly.

What's going on here?

A Dragon girl from a family that grew up in a cocoon asked this question.

Of course, the rehearsal process was not entirely smooth sailing.

Some of the plot points are arranged in a rather... strange way.

That was the scene between Leon and Claudia.

According to the storyline, Claudia is Leon's mother. After learning that her the Only One son had fallen in love with Princess from an enemy country, this strict mother took strong measures to stop him.

It can be considered a major stumbling block on the smooth-sailing love journey of the male and female protagonists.

But in the end, the male protagonist's mother also let go of her resentment, allowing her son to bravely pursue love, resulting in a happy ending.

It doesn't sound strange.

But here's the problem: it just doesn't sound strange.

In reality, the performance... was quite strange.

"Mr. Casmod, your acting skills are so good, why can't you say 'Mother'?" the person in question asked.

"Uncle Leon, you should call her 'Mother Queen,' not 'Mother,'" screenwriter Helena earnestly corrected.

"No, no, Daddy, you need to show a respectful expression, not like you're going back to your hometown to visit relatives." Director Noa was always meticulous about details.

"Honey, compared to our rebellious son who bravely pursues love, you're much more suited to playing a prisoner." The Queen's comment was perfectly timed.

"Sister, why don't you play the knight, Mu En play the Princess you wake up with a kiss?"

This is also related to Qi Er III's neighbor's guilt (Part 3) private group, where there is a sister-obsessed person with hidden agendas.

What?

Where is Xiaoguang?

She watched the show from the sidelines.

The scene was already funny enough; there was no need for her to add fuel to the fire.

General Leon never dreamed that one day he would be calling a dragon "Mom".

Generally speaking, there are three things Leon won't call his mother:

First, he doesn't call his biological mother.

Because my friend grew up in an orphanage and never met his biological mother, he couldn't find her even if he wanted to call her.

Secondly, he doesn't call his mother "Mom" if she's not particularly good-looking.

Because he believed that the woman who could give birth to such a handsome man as him must also be an unparalleled beauty;

Third, he doesn't call his mother who has a tail, can breathe fire, and lives for hundreds of years.

That would be going against the natural order and defying the ancestors. Besides, having a Dragon Wife is enough for Leon; he doesn't want another dragon Mom.

Moreover, in most cases, the dragon only calls out "Mom" when it sees Leon.

For example:

"Damn it! It's black armor again! Brothers, let's retreat!"

"Damn it! The black-armored guy is still chasing me!"

For example:

"Leon, take it easy! You're really hungry!"

But such remarks only appear in specific situations, and only Losweiser would say them.

However, no matter what, it does feel a bit awkward to have Leon address Claudia as "Mother".

"It's okay, it's just the first rehearsal, so you might still be a little unaccustomed to it."

Finally, Claudia came to Leon's rescue, saying, "Maybe we'll get to know each other better. We still have a month, don't we?"

Helena nodded. "Apart from Mom scenes between you and Uncle Leon, everything else went smoothly. Let's focus on practicing that scene tomorrow."
