Chapter 84: The Divine Script

In the next two days, although the customer flow wasn’t as high as the first day, overall it remained at a normal level.

It seemed that under Field’s pressure and the reports from other nobles, Eric indeed no longer dared to pull any tricks on Liakade and their store.

However, whether Eric would secretly try to take revenge later was another matter.

In any case, the first event of the Cultural Festival was successfully completed, and their sales were not low—on average, they probably ranked among the top.

Logically speaking, the following stage play and election had nothing to do with her, but Sistem’s request that day forced Liakade to become busy again.

“By the way, what are you looking at?”

Field looked curiously at Liakade, who was holding a script, and Liakade seemed to be silently reciting something.

“I’m reading the script for the play. I have to memorize all the lines.”

Liakade glanced at Field and replied.

“Ah? You’re going to perform in the play?”

Field was obviously surprised, clearly not expecting someone with Liakade’s reputation to participate in such an activity.

“Seriously?”

“It’s true. Aren’t you participating too, Field?”

Liakade tilted her head in confusion, looking at Field. She remembered that in the Original plot, Field also took part.

“Tch, I don’t want to act in a play.”

Field turned her head with disdain, arms crossed, looking a bit angry.

“Who wants to perform in a script written by that person!”

“Oh, I see.”

Only then did Liakade recall that Field and Sistem had always been on bad terms.

In the Original, the script was written by Irina Zi before her identity was exposed, but now the script was written by Sistem, so Field resisted it even more.

Therefore, Field originally had no intention of joining the stage play this time.

Also, the script only marked the character names and the role Liakade herself would play, but not who played the other roles, so Liakade didn’t know.

“So why did you decide to act in the play!”

Field still couldn’t believe it.

“I didn’t want to either, but Her Highness Sistem’s invitation was too enthusiastic to refuse.”

Liakade answered helplessly.

This was one of the three things she promised Sistem, and as a person of principle, Liakade intended to keep her promise.

“Did Alice join too?”

Liakade turned to Alice, wondering if there would be more changes.

“I did.”

Alice nodded, then added,

“It was also Her Highness Sistem who invited me.”

“Are you still playing Cinderella?”

“Eh? How did Miss Liakade know?”

“Haha, I just guessed.”

“Wow, you two…”

Hearing that Alice was also participating—and invited by Sistem too—Field blushed a little, pointing first at Liakade, then at Alice.

“Why did you two go just because she invited you! Have you no backbone!”

“Uh…”

Liakade was speechless. Well, she had promised Sistem, but it’s just acting in a play—not exactly spineless, right?

“Fine, whatever.”

Field waved her hand.

Although she was annoyed, most of what she said was just teasing.

She reached out to Liakade for the script.

“Let me see what kind of script that person wrote.”

“Didn’t you just say you weren’t interested?”

“I wasn’t interested, but since you two are acting, I have to see it.”

Liakade couldn’t help but laugh, handing Sistem’s script obediently to Field.

To be honest, when Liakade first read Sistem’s script that day, she found it a bit abstract.

In the Original plot, the script designed by Irina Zi was based on the fairy tale Cinderella.

Alice played Cinderella, Irina Zi was Cinderella’s sister, and Field played the Prince.

Irina Zi didn’t let Alice play Cinderella to make her the lead or let her shine.

In fact, Irina Zi had altered Alice’s script so that the lines didn’t match, all to make Alice embarrass herself on stage.

In Irina Zi’s plan, the Prince never found Cinderella, and someone like Alice—a mere commoner—could never hope to touch a noble like Field.

However, Field sensed something was off with Alice on stage and began ad-libbing, not following the script.

Not only did she pull Alice back, but she also earned the cheers and applause of the audience.

In the end, the Prince still found Cinderella.

The furious Irina Zi couldn’t lose her temper in front of everyone and had to let it go.

Now, with Sistem as the scriptwriter, naturally, there was no longer any targeting of Alice in the plot.

But…

This version had even more “magical” modifications.

Right from the start, the plot was explosive.

In Sistem’s script, Cinderella’s sister—the role played by Liakade—wasn’t that bad; she was even very caring toward Cinderella.

Therefore…

Cinderella—Alice—after living with Liakade for years, developed unusual feelings for her.

Of course, these feelings were too forbidden and couldn’t be told to Liakade, so she could only hide them deep in her heart.

When Liakade went to the Ball, Alice, with the help of a fairy, also attended—not to stand out, but just to keep an eye on Liakade, not wanting any noble to catch her attention.

However, things didn’t go as she hoped.

In the crowd, the Prince fell in love with Liakade at first sight, and they clicked instantly.

But the Prince was also secretly sorrowful, for she was a woman disguised as a man.

Since the King had no male heirs, the role of Prince had to be inherited by a woman in disguise, but naturally, such a Prince couldn’t be with Liakade.

Watching all this from nearby, Alice also felt gloomy.

Her sister, who had been by her side for so many years, was finally going to leave.

At that moment, all the lights at the Ball suddenly went out.

A figure emerged from the Darkness.

She claimed to be the Phantom Thief and announced she would steal the most beautiful maiden at the Ball.

The target of the Phantom Thief was Liakade.

Here, the script’s tone shifted dramatically, becoming a battle drama.

To protect Liakade, the Prince fought fiercely against the Phantom Thief.

However, the Prince was defeated and her female identity was revealed.

Just as Liakade was about to be taken away, Alice could no longer hold back and joined the fight.

The three of them joined forces and managed to drive off the Phantom Thief.

The Prince thought she could never be with Liakade now that her gender had been exposed, but, surprisingly, Liakade actually liked girls too.

Learning this, Alice and the Prince were both shocked, but then they both confessed their feelings to Liakade.

The three of them then lived happily ever after together.

“This… What kind of god-tier script is this!”

After reading the entire script, Field felt her eyelids twitching.

It was hard to imagine a human could write such a script, let alone that the writer was the Kingdom’s Second Princess—her own sister.

When Liakade finished reading the script that day, she had only one thought—poet’s grip.

The original fairy tale had been forcibly turned into a yuri story.

If this plot were published and sold in the Royal City, it would probably have to be done in secret.

Sistem was bold enough to put such a yuri plot on stage at the Cultural Festival.

But it didn’t matter.

Since it was Sistem’s idea, she could take responsibility for whatever happened.

Moreover, although this world appeared normal on the surface, the Original was indeed a yuri game, so everyone’s tolerance should be high.

“Oh?”

Just as Field was complaining about Sistem’s script, a voice suddenly came from beside them.

“What’s wrong? My dear sister isn’t satisfied with the story I wrote?”

Turning around, they found that Sistem had somehow entered their store, grinning darkly as she looked at the three of them.
