"Don't refuse yet." Sophia stretched out his hand to stop Wendy who wanted to speak.
Wendy:??? Who says I want to refuse? Hey, the boss behind Dayas Opera House. Being able to work for her is the lifelong wish of many troubadours.
"You may not know much about some things. You can make a decision after I tell you."
Sophia picked a cherry on the table without putting it in his mouth and asked, "Do you know Morey? He is also a troubadour like you..."
"Of course I know him!" Wendy's tone became excited when he heard the word Morey, "Master Morey is my idol. He is a late bloomer. When he was in his thirties, he was still wandering around various cities, following what others said. He told the stories he wrote, but he never made any progress. Finally, at the age of 40, he accumulated a lot of experience and performed in Dayas Opera House, and became a master in our industry! His stories always inspire us younger generations, how could I not know him."
Seeing such excited Wendy, Sophia burst out laughing, "Why didn't I realize that he is as great as you said?"
Wendy's mouth pursed. She couldn't be angry with the boss opposite her, so she could only mutter, "You don't know him well. I know Master Morey's life in detail."
"If you want a life like his, I can get it for you." Sophia smiled, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"What do you mean?" Wendy had some doubts in his head.
"It means that those things are all fabricated, and the so-called Master Morey is also praised. Do you think he has talent? Of course he does, but that's it. If he is really talented, I don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins to build his reputation. In the end, I praised him as an art master. But it is not a loss at all. Now he can earn a lot of money every year."
Wendy felt that her three views had been challenged, and her brows couldn't help but frown. She didn't want to believe that Master Morey had been the idol she followed for a long time, but Sophia said it as if whoever was in this position could become Master Morey.
"Don't want to believe it?" Sophia asked, looking at Wendy with an expression of disbelief. She thought it was an interesting thing to shatter other people's inherent views.
"Didn't you get up like this? Your talent is even better than Morey. You have improved so much after just a few days of seeing each other. Morey was not at your level at the beginning. I don't even need to spend an extra penny on you. Mermaid Princess's story naturally attracted so many viewers. But you yourself also know what you rely on?"
Wendy answered honestly, "The story given by Lord Claire..."
She knew better than anyone else that her success today was all due to the fairy tale book Claire gave her before.
"Yes, if this story was not for you but for someone else, then you wouldn't be the one on stage today." Sophia leaned forward slightly, held his chin with his hand, and looked directly at Wendy. "Those who use it will become a dragon, and those who don't will become a worm. Once you get to that position, there will be all kinds of help to push you forward. Anyone can be Morey, and anyone can be Wendy."
"So now you understand, talent, hard work, diligence, these are not the most important. What matters is choice and seizing opportunities."
"Going back to the original topic, now I'll give you a chance to work with me. I will make you the most famous troubadour in the entire kingdom, a talented troubadour girl in her twenties. How about this image? Or a troubadour girl who suddenly wakes up after suffering and writes more than a hundred stories. I can help you shape whatever you like. Everyone in the kingdom will know your name!"
Wendy admitted that her heart was moved, and her hands could not help but tremble. Wasn't this her dream all along? Honoring the entire kingdom is something that many seniors cannot do.
"You can think about it carefully, I'm not in a hurry." Sophia picked up a cherry on the table and put it into his mouth, "I just told you, seize the opportunity and choice..."
"Opportunities and choices..." Wendy murmured to himself.
The words Claire said to her in the restaurant suddenly flashed through my mind: You are very talented... If you have any ideas, you can come to Nafu City to find me, and I will arrange a position for you, which is also about the troubadour...
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Wendy stood up, bowed deeply to Sophia and said, "Thank you for letting me know my choice..."
As soon as Sophia smiled, he was dispelled by Wendy's next sentence.
"Sorry! I can't follow you. I know what I should pursue. Money and fame are just incidental. What I really like is to be a troubadour who tells stories..."
"Oh? You are going to find Claire, right?" Sophia asked calmly.
"Yeah!" Wendy nodded vigorously, "After I finish telling the story of the mermaid, I will go to Nafu City to find him. He said he would arrange a job for me."
Sophia tapped his fingers on the table without saying a word, obviously not in a good mood.
"You are all like this, why do you have to follow that boy? He is just a viscount. I can give you more. What does he have that I can't give you?"
Wendy opened her mouth. She was a little confused, but after thinking about it, she still replied, "Lord Claire has a unique charm..."
Finally Sophia sighed. She didn't understand why she lost to that boy Claire. The same was true of the beggar before. Even though she gave him a large amount of cash and arranged for him to enter Knight Academy promised to help him develop his power, but he was still so fascinated by Claire, and if he hadn't said that he was Claire's friend, the other party would not even accept these benefits from him.
Claire What kind of ecstasy soup did they pour into them to make them so "loyal" that they couldn't be bribed even if they wanted to?
"Okay." Sophia waved his hand, "Even if you refuse, I don't have to worry about anything. I'm not that stingy person. Get ready. I will arrange for you to perform in other cities in another week, Mermaid Princess's story will spread throughout the kingdom, and you can also gain a certain amount of fame and fortune, but if you follow me, you will get more. Do you want to change your mind? "Sophia is still a little unwilling to give up.
"Thank you, madam, but I still don't plan to change my mind." Wendy nodded slightly.
"Okay." Sophia stretched out and spread out directly on the sofa, "Go down, I'm sleepy."
