Book 2: Chapter 14: The Play, Espressivo of Light and Darkness Act II Part 3
There were two weeks left before the school festival.
Fol still wasn’t attending school, but we heard that sometime soon, she would be able to show up for the rehearsals. And so we kept up our hard work, so that she would have a big smile once she returned.
We had borrowed a practice room and threw ourselves single-mindedly into the play rehearsal.
The added payoff of this was that Prince Alforth’s acting became considerably better. When comparing him with his Espressivo of Light and Darkness’ counterpart, he was a little immature, however… his steadfastness, that seemed to be popular with shotacons, had strengthened.
He would probably capture the attention of the young highschool age ladies once he stood on the school festival’s stage. Lady Sophia’s advice for him regarding playing the prince in his own way seemed to have had an impact on him.
However, the way things were going at that moment, I suspected that, while he had become well suited to playing a prince’s role, he was quickly becoming less and less similar to Lady Sophia’s type.
I felt that I should mention that to him, but I felt conflicted, since it would be a mess if his acting were to revert back to how it had been in the beginning.
For the time being, since Lady Sophia continued to instruct Prince Alforth on his performance, I didn’t think that there would be any problems with continuing to rehearse like this.
What was a problem was- I turned my gaze towards Alicia, who was playing the role of the maid. Compared to the way she was before, she had improved considerably. However she was falling behind the others. Although she didn’t have a lot of lines, she had the important role of supporting the conflicted heroine.
