My Level Zero System-Chapter 202: The play

The cruel truth is always something that makes people feel heartbroken.

An innocent and naive young girl, completely trusting her mother, her only relative, unconditionally. Truly not knowing that everything is fake.

Suddenly, Kain felt the grip from Mera’s hand become tighter.

He said nothing, just glanced over quietly, seeing that she was still extremely focused on the play.

Kain understood.

She is scared.

Kain did not say anything, just gently held her hand, as a response.

Mera was a little startled, but quickly became reassured.

The story continues, now with a new special twist.

That is, even though she was trapped in this lonely tower all year round, the girl still had her own little joys.

It is on her birthday that the big and bright "stars" will fill the sky, the only place where she is not limited.

She looked forward to this moment every year, even secretly drawing a picture of the scene.

And when the play was a third of the way through, the girl was nearly eighteen years old.

Even though the exaggerations of the dangers of the outside world had been imprinted in her brain by her mother. The girl still had a small wish, which was to know what those stars were.

And then, the opportunity came.

Her mother would leave for a while, leaving the girl alone in the tower again.

But now, a new factor appears.

The spotlight changed, originally the light was always focused on the lonely girl in the tower. But now, the light was split in half, sharing half with a handsome guy who walked in.

At this point, the story gradually moves away from its initial gloom into a more cheerful phase, as a way to lighten the somewhat lonely and heavy atmosphere of the first part of the play.

It’s a relatively upbeat and light-hearted romance. Even humorous.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

The main character who just appeared is not a noble guy, on the contrary, this person is just a somewhat lowly treasure hunter.

This surprised Kain somewhat.

Although theater is not an art form only for the rich, the audience for theater is still mainly people who have enough money to enjoy this form of entertainment, instead of just going to a pub for a drink like the common people.

Therefore, the audience that the theater usually serves also affects their artistic products to some extent.

Most characteristically, perhaps, the men in the stories must have something superior, usually in terms of status.

But here, treasure hunter Kain felt like it was just an understatement, the male lead’s true identity should be a thief. It was just that because this "profession" was too jarring, he changed it to treasure hunter.

Returning to the play and story, the two of them, who were initially wary of each other, gradually became close, and eventually discovered their feelings for each other. Along with the emotional development was the development of the world. The dangerous outside world was of course a fantasy, so when the female lead asked the male lead to take her to see the stars, she learned that her mother was lying.

At the same time, she even discovered a truth, that is, the mother she trusted from beginning to end, was actually not her biological mother.

She was the daughter of the king and queen, a true princess, but was kidnapped by that woman at birth.

By this time, the middle stage of the play is over, all the way to the climax at the end.

Of course, it was still just the fairly predictable scenes of defeating the evil fake mother, so Kain wasn’t too interested. Until the ending appeared.

The girl returned to the arms of her parents and the man she loved. But that was probably her last moment of happiness. That life transfer magic did not come without a price, it used up her lifespan.

So she died in the end, in the arms of those she loved, and who loved her.

When the play ended, there was enthusiastic applause. Although at first some people were upset because the male lead was a thief, the power of art to influence is indeed not trivial.

Although the core of the entire story is not complicated, Kain cannot help but admit that the person who created this play is truly a genius in the field of art.

So, neither Kain nor Mera were stingy and gave the people who had given their all down there a round of applause, and threw money down as a way to show respect for the effort the actors had put in.

The actors could hardly hide their smiles as they watched the pile of Cents being thrown down. They bowed their heads for a long time before retreating backstage.

The play ended, Kain and Mera also climbed into the carriage to return.

But since it was almost dark, and they were both a bit hungry, they didn’t return to the academy right away but stopped by another place for dinner.

During the meal, Mera suddenly said.

"Kain, I suddenly understood."

Kain listened attentively, he knew, Mera had always been troubled by her mother.

Like the girl in the play above.

Perhaps, she saw herself in it, that was empathy.

"Regardless of what happened to my mother, whether she lied to us or not, I think I know what I have to do."

As she spoke, her eyes showed determination.

Seeing this, Kain was also pleased.

"Well then... cheer."

"Yeah, cheer."

They both happily clinked glasses together.

After that, they returned to the academy, said goodbye to each other and promised to meet again tomorrow.

Kain returned to the dormitory.

Not only was he not tired, but his thinking was completely clear.

Now, he can affirm 100% confidence in tomorrow’s decisive battle.

Having prepared everything, Kain laid down on the bed.

The sound of breathing gradually became even, like calm waves rising on the surface of a lake, signaling that something was about to arise.
