Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 44: theater

As dusk gradually fell, a carriage and a group of cavalrymen slowly drove from the streets of the noble district to the city.

The traces of the street fighting not long ago have been erased, the neat street lights on both sides of the street are lit up again, and the pedestrians on the road have returned to a bustling state. There is an illusion that he is still living in the age of kings.

The Great Revolution only destroyed the monarchy that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and widely spread the idea of ​​freedom and equality, which was originally regarded as a beast of a flood, and was accepted by the citizens of the Rumont Republic. It is still high above, but the government that rules the country is no longer the word of the monarch, but the product of mutual compromise between the old aristocracy and the Santos party.

Recovering his thoughts, Charlie turned his head to look at the carriage next to him with the coat of arms of the Xenia family painted on the outside of the carriage. His eyes happened to meet Sophia, who secretly opened the curtain of the car and looked out. The latter's eyes were subconscious. She shrank and drew the curtains back again.

Charlie chuckled and looked back. He has been in this world for a few months. He seems to spend every day in the army and rarely sees young girls. Now that he has agreed to go with Sophia Watching dramas is just a vacation for my body and mind.

The carriage and the escorting generals and guards moved slowly on the street. The passers-by along the way subconsciously retreated after seeing the arrogant knights and the noble coat of arms painted on the carriage, to make way for the noble master, even if the king's rule now It's over, the old aristocracy is still the upper class of the country, and the commoners will still fear them in their bones.

The convoy marched along the street, passed through the crossroads that once blocked Charlie's advance, and walked for less than half an hour before finally arriving at the grand National Theater.

This Grand Theater is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the North District. Most of the people living here are petty citizens with certain assets. Even at night, it is still bustling. People come and go on the streets. , to watch the first play after the Grand Theater reopened.

The carriage stopped opposite the theater, but just standing outside, Charlie could hear the crowd in the theater, so it could be inferred that there must be a lot of people there tonight.

Looking at the white-domed building, Charlie got off his horse, walked to the front of the carriage, and took the initiative to help Sophia get off the carriage.

After Sophia got out of the car, Charlie motioned for the two general guards to follow, and the others and the carriage waited elsewhere, then took Sophia's hand and walked into the theater side by side. The two guards who followed were winking. Stand a few steps away, so as not to disturb Yaxing of the general and his female companion.

They came at just the right time. Right now, just before the opening, there were people coming and going outside the theater. Several people looked at the pair of men and women who were obviously dressed differently from ordinary citizens. Sophia couldn't help but struggle, and wanted to throw it away. The hand held by Charlie was unsuccessful. Charlie took her to the theater's ticket office as if she didn't feel anything.

"Sir, I reserved your private room No. 5 in advance. My name is Charlie Close." He said to the conductor at the ticket office.

Hearing that, the conductor first took a look at Charlie and Sophia's attire, and then looked at the records in front of him. After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Clos, I This will take you to Private Room No. 5."

After speaking, he explained a few words to the people beside him, walked to the ticket office, and led Charlie and the two along the stairs on both sides to the private room. At this moment, Sophia finally couldn't help it and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Charlie, can you let go?"

"Oh, I'm very sorry." Charlie heard the words and let go of her hand. He tilted his head to look at the girl whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and explained, "There are too many people outside, I'm afraid you will get separated, so I've been holding your hand."

"Ah, it's alright, I can understand." Sophia replied with a blushing face, and before taking a few steps, she whispered, "You are such a gentleman, Rosa is so lucky to have a brother like you."

"Ok?"

Charlie didn't hear what she was saying behind, looked at her suspiciously, but didn't get an answer. It didn't take long for the conductor to lead them to a private room located in the middle of the third floor. He opened the door of the private room and said respectfully, "Sir, this is the private room you reserved. This private room is very spacious, with an excellent view, and there are few Someone will come to disturb your Yaxing, if necessary, you can pull the rope over there, and the staff will come to serve you as soon as possible."

"Very good, um, what script is playing tonight?"

Charlie asked.

"Well...there's "Grey Prince and the Businesswoman" and "The Prince's Revenge~www.wuxiahere.com~ and...uh..." Having said this, he suddenly paused before continuing hesitantly: "And "The Day of the Revolution," demanded by the National Assembly."

Hearing this, Charlie's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, glanced at Sophia beside him, and then said to the conductor: "I see, if there is nothing wrong, you You can go down first."

The conductor saluted again, then turned and left the third floor. After the conductor left, the private room fell into silence, and at this moment, the curtain on the stage was slowly pulled back, and actors in ancient costumes came on stage to perform.

Charlie and Sophia stood beside the railing together and watched the actors' performances quietly. Perhaps because of the distance and the echo of the empty space brought by the dome, the voices of the actors were a little unreal when they reached here. It just so happened that the two people in the private room didn't pay attention to the stage. In such a dim environment, with a man and a widow in the same room, no one would be unresponsive.

If Charlie has no idea at all, then he is a eunuch.

Just when he was about to speak, he heard Sophia suddenly take the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Charlie, thank you very much for accepting my invitation to watch the play with me," she said softly, "I have never been alone with a different surname before this, if I do something rude or say If anything offends you, please don't take it to heart."

"Of course, Miss Sophia, that's what I want to say too."

Because of the difference in height, Charlie had to lower his head to see her. From his angle, he could see Sophia's slender eyelashes fluttering.
