Book 2: Chapter 16: The Play, Espressivo of Light and Darkness Act II Part 5 1/2
A few more days went by, and, before we knew it, the night before the School Festival arrived.
The School Festival would last for three days. Since the Student Council’s play would be performed for three consecutive days, tomorrow would finally be the first day we’d perform. On this night, I was summoned by Lady Sophia.
“I heard that you requested my presence. What is the matter, this late at night?”
When I entered the room, my Lady was wearing her tracksuit jacket. From her appearance, I assumed that she was wishing for me to practise with her.
“Lady Sophia, the live performance is tomorrow. Staying up late won’t be good for your body.”
At the rehearsal earlier that day, both Prince Alforth and Alicia had displayed a proper performance. Since Isabella began teaching them, their acting skills had improved remarkably. At tomorrow’s live performance, they would probably show their true acting abilities, even better than what they’d shown us today.
Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter if Lady Sophia performed poorly due to a lack of sleep.
“I know it isn’t. However, I would like to grasp a better understanding of the character just a little bit further, one more time.”
It was Fol’s dying wish to perform a successful play together with everyone. Lady Sophia was probably trying to grant this wish with all her might.
