After hearing Chang Ming's words, the troupe, which had been a little noisy, suddenly quieted down.

There was a hint of trance in their eyes, as if they thought they had been hit by some kind of overwhelming wealth.

They couldn't believe that all this was true.

It was as if they were still on the cramped little stage expecting the audience to give them some tips, and the next second they were on the supreme stage of Fontaine.

Looking at the dazed faces of the troupe members in front of him, Chang Ming blinked slightly, and then asked Claude beside him in a somewhat strange tone:

"Uh...Mr. Claude, didn't you tell them before?"

Hearing this, Claude scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said apologetically:

"I have been helping to optimize the scripts of "Daughter of Water" and "Prophecy" for some time, so... I haven't paid much attention to Steambird News..."

But the words came back again.

For someone like Claude who can starve himself to death while writing a script...it's abnormal to pay attention to the Steambird News, right?

Thinking of this, a look of relief emerged on Chang Ming's face, as if he had accepted Claude's setting of being oblivious to the world outside when writing the script.

——For a guy who even forgets to eat and forgets for three days, it is normal for him not to pay attention to the outside news when he is working.

Just as Chang Ming was about to continue speaking, Fu Nina took the lead and asked:

"But even if they don't know, they shouldn't be so stunned, right? After all, didn't Chang Ming do the work for them last time? Why are they still so stunned?"

Finina curled her lips, as if she felt a little troubled by the sluggish reactions of the troupe members.

In response to this, Chang Ming spread his hands helplessly, and then said:

"Lady Fernina, for you... performing on stage at the Opikle Opera House may not be a new thing, but for them..."

“This is a really unique opportunity.”

“Even a great magician like Linney would be thrilled to be on the stage of the Oprykli Opera House.”

"They are just some young kids just starting out."

Chang Ming pursed his lips lightly, trying his best to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing his words, Funina nodded slightly, then asked:

"So... everyone, are you really okay? Or are you a little timid now and want to back off?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the troupe members who were originally a little dazed suddenly woke up.

They exchanged glances with each other, and both saw the dullness and hesitation in their eyes gradually fade away, and saw the determination that gradually climbed into their hearts.

Several people nodded at the same time, and Delfhi took a step forward and said in a gentle but still firm tone:

"We understand, Lord Chang Ming, Lady Funina, we all understand."

"We will try our best to adapt to the environment of the Oprykle Opera House and perform well in each opera. This is our responsibility."

"And... we also promised Lady Fininna that we would give Captain Oretti the best gift to make up for her regret as much as possible."

Hearing this, Funina did not respond to them immediately, but instead focused her eyes on Chang Ming, as if she was expecting him to do something.

Feeling Funina's expectant gaze, Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, but he finally chose to confess a small part of the things.

"Ahem, everyone in the troupe, I have actually been preparing something these days that will help you make up for your regrets."

"I can assure you with everything behind the three words 'Regent' that if the performance of 'Prophecy' is a great success this time..."

"I can help you make up for the regrets in your hearts as much as possible."

Hearing this, Dilfi and the others were once again stunned, with a look of disbelief in their eyes, as if they were somewhat suspicious of Chang Ming.

But when I think about the fact that Chang Ming has already used his title as a regent as a guarantee, does that mean...

Is it really possible for them to make up for some of their regrets?

When they thought of Fontaine's description of the power Chang Ming displayed in the trial that day, their hearts gradually became excited.

"Master Chang Ming, is everything you said true? Is it really possible for us to meet Captain Oleti again?"

Poirot's voice trembled slightly. Although he said some doubtful words, his red eyes at this moment... proved everything.

Looking at Poirot who was almost about to cry, Chang Ming smiled slightly, tried to soften his voice as much as possible, and then said:

"Of course, I can see your feelings for Captain Oretti, so... I hope you can have a better ending."

"Although I can't let you continue to live together, I can at least let you say the most basic goodbye."

Chang Ming's rather gentle voice instantly triggered Poirot's tear glands, and two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of his eyes, as if he had received some kind of God-given blessing.

The situation of others is not much better.

After getting Chang Ming's affirmation again, the expressions on their faces changed in different ways.

Some were very excited and clamored to make the performance the day after tomorrow the best one yet;

Some people shed tears just because they could see Oretti. After all, there were too many regrets left in that notebook.

Although there was only a little time for talking, for them...it was enough.

Looking at the emotional troupe members in front of him, Chang Ming showed a helpless smile on his face, and then said to Claude beside him:

"Mr. Claude, please take them back. After all, we will have to rehearse again and again starting tomorrow morning. It will be more or less tiring. We need to rest early today."

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Claude nodded repeatedly, and then took Dilfi, the only one in relatively good condition, to organize the emotional troupe members to return to their residence.

After a while, the originally noisy small theater suddenly became quiet, and Chang Ming and Funina also got a brief moment of leisure.

Fu Nina looked at Chang Ming, who was sitting quite naturally in the audience, and asked with some doubt:

"Chang Ming? Aren't we leaving yet?"

Chang Ming smiled slightly, pointed at the theater door that had just been closed and opened again, and said with a chuckle:

"Of course we can't leave. After all, some people are watching us~"

"In order to prevent things from getting complicated, I specifically looked for a few "helpers."
