Chapter 756 Lanchi and Talia's Farewell Performance

The next morning, the Governor's mansion was in chaos. The demon governor issued an order to search the entire province for the human girl from the dance party last night.

"Governor, you were distracted all night last night. Is it because of that mysterious woman? But she didn't even leave her name. Where are we supposed to look?"

The stage lit up, and the demon butler hurriedly entered to speak.

"No matter what, I must find her! Please help me announce it throughout the province as much as possible. Let girls of suitable age, around twenty to twenty-five years old, come and try on this shoe. Whoever can walk normally in it is her."

The governor stood by the window of the mansion, feeling a slight headache as he insisted.

The butler obeyed and hurried away.

"Pain... It hurts so much..."

The governor stared into the distance, lost in thought.

"My cinder princess, why, why are you hiding from me..."

The stage dimmed, and the camera switched.

Waiting for the scene change.

"He looks like he's really in pain. What exactly has he experienced to be able to act out this heart-wrenching feeling?"

A girl in the audience said with distress.

"Isn't it possible that he's actually feeling that pain to the core?"

The male companion next to her gave her a speechless look.

The lights remained dim.

The scene shifted to the cinder girl's house.

The stepmother learned that the governor was searching for the mysterious girl and locked the cinder girl in the attic to prevent her from appearing.

"This is a great opportunity for my family to climb the social ladder and become phoenixes. No matter what, I must have the governor choose my daughter! I'll help the governor eliminate a distraction first."

The stepmother raised her head and laughed greedily.

"That little idiot who only thinks about eating, how could she be favored by the governor? Don't let her embarrass our family."

"That's right, Mom! If the governor sees her, he might think she's a refugee. Although my shoe size is a bit off from that magic shoe, I'm strong, so the governor will definitely choose me as his bride!"

The elder sister said smugly.

"Stop dreaming! The governor would take a fancy to you? My shoe size is closer. Hmph, my chances are better!"

The younger sister was unconvinced.

"What's the use of not being able to move your feet?"

"It's still better than not being able to fit in!"

"..."

Listening to the two sisters arguing endlessly, the cinder girl sighed at the attic window.

"I'm so hungry."

She hugged her knees and muttered to herself.

The more she thought about the pastries she ate at the banquet last night, the more she swallowed her saliva.

"Governor, oh Governor, I'm here. I'm the one you're desperately searching for. But I'm imprisoned here, so how can you find me?"

The cinder girl buried her head and whispered, her loyal animal friends gathered around her.

This time, Talia had carefully reviewed her lines.

She inexplicably felt that she could easily play this scene well.

Because the cinder girl at this moment was like she was before she met Lanchi.

Living in the open air under the city walls, sometimes hungry, sometimes full, wearing a dirty cloak.

If she could travel back to the past with her current memories, she would definitely look forward to that annoying young master appearing with a lunch box—feeding the cat in front of her, and then smiling and taking the initiative to talk to her.

That ordinary encounter at the time, when she thought back to it now, she actually found it a bit beautiful.

However, Talia didn't realize it.

Her bittersweet eyes and the corners of her mouth gradually captivated the audience.

"So that's the expression of the cinder girl thinking about her meeting with the governor last night..."

"Maybe she gradually understood that she had already fallen into the beautiful memories of the time she spent with the governor, but it was more like a dream."

"But now she's still unwilling to wake up, and naively willing to try to believe in fate."

"Silently waiting for him, maybe she can collapse even more completely."

Just as Talia was spacing out.

A carrier pigeon brought her the key that her stepmother had hidden.

"Pigeon...?"

Talia stared blankly at the cute carrier pigeons.

She couldn't help but recall her old friend who had been missing for many years.

At that time, she also hoped that the carrier pigeon would return.

But this separation had been for more than a year.

Hopefully, no animal has already put her carrier pigeon in the pot and eaten it.

The more she thought about it, the more Talia felt that she had to go back to South Wantina Territory again in the future to investigate the clues of the carrier pigeon, to make sure there was a beginning and an end.

"Thank you, my good friends! With you, I have courage and strength!"

Talia was touched by the scene and cried while hugging the carrier pigeon.

The cinder girl opened the door of the attic, ran down the stairs, and ran towards the Governor's mansion under the escort of the carrier pigeon.

…

Even though the opera had been going on for more than an hour, the audience was still highly focused, and all their attention was focused on the stage.

At the Governor's mansion, the shoe-fitting contest was in full swing. Countless girls came to try their luck, but none of them could master it.

"Maybe yesterday was just a dream..."

The demon governor was gradually losing hope, staring dejectedly at the shoe.

The stepmother brought her two daughters and followed the butler smugly to the front.

"This is the last family today... I hope this shoe can find its destined owner."

The demon butler said tiredly.

"Governor, please look, my two daughters are heavenly beings, enough to match the only magic shoe in the world!"

The stepmother leaned over flatteringly.

The elder sister and younger sister fought over each other to try on the shoe, forcing their feet in.

But the elder sister couldn't fit in, and the younger sister couldn't move her feet.

Seeing her beloved shoe being treated as a toy by the two of them, coupled with the great disappointment this morning, the governor was furious.

"Damn it, you've ruined my true heart! Guards, take down all these troublemakers!"

The governor ordered.

The soldiers dragged the stepmother and sisters down, intending to punish them severely.

"Wait, Governor, we didn't mean to offend you!"

The stepmother said in a panic.

"Did you remember to salute when you saw me, the dignified demon governor? That alone is enough to violate the current Proto Empire's diplomatic law. Go spend this winter honestly in prison!"

Lanchi ordered them.

At the critical moment, the cinder girl arrived breathlessly.

"Governor, I'm here. I'm the girl you've been searching for!"

The cinder girl shouted through the guards of the Governor's mansion.

"Yes, yes, she's also a child of our family. Let her try it too."

The stepmother hurriedly said to the governor.

"I don't want to believe you anymore, and I'm already tired today."

The governor covered his forehead and said weakly to the noblewoman who was full of nonsense.

Just hearing Talia's voice now made his head ache faintly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. What was he trying so hard to save today?

"Give me a chance, Governor!"

The cinder girl didn't give up and shouted hard.

"Enough, the person I'm looking for is definitely not a reckless, skinny person like a refugee! She's very beautiful. She finished all the pastries at the banquet yesterday. Her figure is temporarily an ideal healthy body type. She looks maybe, probably, about 20 to 25 years old, and has a mature and older charm!"

The governor pointed at her, who was covered in dust, and scolded.

"..."

Talia's hands instantly made a cracking sound, and the surrounding air began to chill.

She remembered that the lines were roughly like this, but not so detailed.

She took off her shoes and made a throwing gesture towards Lanchi.

"Is it you...? It really is you!"

The governor was overjoyed and recognized the cinder girl in an instant.

"..."

The stage below was silent.

He changed his face so quickly.

"Is this the level of an old actor?"

"Was the actor scared just now?"

"I don't think so. Since the previous scene has been changed, it's reasonable to slightly modify the way the cinder girl is recognized here."

…

The people in the Governor's mansion stood in place, watching the male and female leads.

Originally, the cinder girl should have tried on the magic shoe, which fit perfectly, and then the governor could recognize the cinder girl.

How did you recognize her directly?

Everyone was half a beat late, but they quickly made up for it with a full house of exclamations.

The governor strode forward and stood in front of the cinder girl.

He looked at her affectionately and took the cinder girl's hand.

"Time flies, time is too fleeting, how can I keep you? I woke up last night and realized that there was nothing beside me. Except for that shoe, I don't know how to find your footprints? Now that we meet again, how can I let you leave again?"

After the two finished their song and dance.

"Lovely girl, I can't eat or sleep, my heart is only filled with your figure."

The governor said to the cinder girl.

"Yes, me too."

The cinder girl's eyes were filled with tears of happiness.

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers and applause.

The ministers and butler were also smiling happily.

"Good, good! It's a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!"

The guests all congratulated them.

The stepmother and sisters were ashen-faced and didn't even dare to ask for forgiveness.

"Cinder girl, no, Governor's wife! We were wrong, please forgive us! We were really blind and ungrateful!"

She trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Stepmother, sisters, although you have been harsh to me for many years, I have never resented you in my heart. Even if you locked me up, I am willing to share the joy of today with you. I hope that from now on, we will have no more complaints."

The cinder girl was generous and tolerant.

The stepmother was moved to tears.

The governor looked at the cinder girl with a smile, even more in love with her.

"No matter what, you have added an additional charge of illegal detention. Finish your prison sentence this winter. A better life goes hand in hand with the rule of law."

He added.

The atmosphere was warm and touching.

The cheerful finale march sounded.

The story of *Holy War Romance - Cinder Princess Chapter* also came to the last scene.

In the Governor's mansion.

The governor invited his beloved girl to have breakfast with him and brought her a rich meal.

At the dining table, the governor was no longer cold.

He appreciated the beauty of the mystery being solved, as if he had found a treasure.

"Girl, you are so cute today..."

After a long time, Lanchi recited this line again and still felt his scalp tingle.

"So cute that I want to eat you instead of breakfast."

"!!"

Talia's face began to heat up when she heard this.

This was the second time she had heard Lanchi say this in person, and her heart was beating faster than the last time, much faster!

"Can..."

Talia took two breaths before slowly reciting the heroine's lines—

"Can you wait until I finish breakfast?"

After she finished speaking, she picked up a smooth matcha cheese mochi and fed it into her mouth.

"Fuu...!"

Lanchi suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

This time he really couldn't hold back.

Just as Lanchi's heart began to stir, Talia's cold eyes were a little closer to him, and her light breathing was half a point closer to him.

She observed Lanchi.

"So that means yes?"

Lanchi maintained a sense of conviction as an actor and firmly said this line.

"I'm done eating. What did you say just now?"

Talia finished chewing the mochi and looked up to ask.

…

"Wow, she's amazing. I remember that the previous performances gave the heroine a transition here to represent that she was done eating, but this heroine is really eating."

The audience was amazed by today's stage effect.

"How did she finish eating so quickly?"

"I heard that Director Abigail's direction is strict. I didn't expect that the actors were rehearsed to this point in the public performance version."

In the VIP box.

"I don't know..."

Abigail buried her head and muttered to herself in confusion.

Her script clearly marked to just give a transition.

But the heroine ate the cake so quickly that she couldn't see clearly.

Where did Sidor find these two strange actors?

…

"What I want to say is that your cute appearance when you eat also makes me intoxicated. Before the memories begin to fade, I want to stay by your side forever like a lucid dream."

Lanchi stared at Tata's face and finished the lines of the last scene.

Suddenly.

"I...I..."

Talia's expression was dull, her voice became softer and softer, and her cheeks were also flushed.

It was clearly just Lanchi.

A small Lanchi!

Why did he make her heart beat so uncontrollably!

"Governor, when you look at me, you don't know that I have fallen into danger."

Talia felt that she could speak well in the entire stage play, but only at this moment was she extremely nervous, and she couldn't even control her voice.

"Come, come to my world, I'm not, afraid, you need to end my life, or you can play with my heart in your hands."

She shrank her neck, closed her eyes tightly, and said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes.

Hearing the final dialogue between the governor and the cinder girl, the audience in the opera house could no longer sit still. Many people even stood up and clapped their hands because they were too excited.

…

Nistror City.

The evening program in the living room of the mansion was also coming to an end.

Hiberia stared at the screen without saying a word.

"It's getting late, go to bed...?"

Sinora asked tentatively in a soft voice.

"..."

Antanas didn't dare to speak now.

Because Pranai hadn't returned yet.

She was a little worried that Pranai wouldn't come back tonight and would directly appear in the car at the door tomorrow morning waiting for them.

The previous performances were just said to have a sense of deja vu.

The last part was exactly the same as what they saw on the second floor of the Cat Boss restaurant that day.

"Uh..."

Sinora and Antanas exchanged glances and decided to continue persuading Hiberia to rest first today.

"Hiberia, are you okay?"

The Ice Witch put down her book and asked her with concern.

"I'm really okay."

Hiberia shook her head.

"My aunt is as pure as jade, and my Lanchi is upright and just. There's no reason to believe that the two of them would secretly get together."

She clenched her fist firmly.

The Ice Witch stared at Hiberia for a while.

She knew Hiberia's sentimental personality very well, and sometimes Hiberia was particularly prone to getting caught up in internal conflict.

"Alas, after all, I'm not your real mother. If Iphatia were here at this time, she could comfort you a little."

The Ice Witch shook her head.

"Woo, Mom... will you be in Brilda?"

Hiberia looked into the distance, wiped her tears, and said hopefully.

…

The audience was boiling and the applause was thunderous.

Gold confetti and colorful petals flew, and the songs and dances rose to the sky.

The finale actors took turns singing.

"True love finally conquers everything, kindness and forgiveness move people's hearts. Hard work will eventually pay off, and the humble maid transforms into a princess. Persevere and hope that dreams come true, and love and magic make this life perfect!"

The curtain slowly closed, the stage gradually dimmed, and the spotlight hit the happy shadows of the cinder girl and the governor.

The music grew louder and the play ended.

The applause lasted for a long time.

During the curtain call, the cast and crew went on stage to bow to the audience.

Everyone's faces were filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride, and at the same time they also secretly sweated.

Director Abigail's two temporary actors were undoubtedly strong.

But they were too free.

Even now, the other actors in the crew couldn't tell whether the male and female leads had made a mistake, or whether Director Abigail had temporarily changed her strategy, but no one dared to ask.

Anyway.

Their hard work and sweat finally blossomed and bore fruit.

Presumably today's public performance version will also be well received, and the release as a public sales version is just around the corner.

…

Inside the opera house corridor, a room isolated by a temporary restriction.

Abigail stood behind the door, waiting impatiently for the communication to connect.

"Can you be more reliable, my Bishop? Where did you find the actors? If my luck was any worse today, it would have been a serious stage accident!"

She held a pink communication card and questioned the other party.

"..."

A buzzing sound came from the communication magic card.

"Ah? The actors you found are still stuck on the road?"

Abigail was incredulous.

"Then who are these two?"

She exclaimed.
