Although Fang Zheng's impromptu performance did bring a lot of problems, the drama department finally found a way to solve the problem - they made a half-face mask similar to the ones used in masquerade balls specifically for the Night Knight. This would solve most of the problems, and as long as the mask was made to look more ferocious, it would be able to resist Fang Zheng's charm.
What else can Fang Zheng say about this? All I can say is that it’s not my fault that I’m handsome…
The drama department's method finally worked to a certain extent. At the last rehearsal, everyone was able to go through the entire performance smoothly - well, there were no problems.
Well, at least there were no major problems.
Although Fang Zheng still exudes the charm of a dark hero with a mask on, it is still acceptable not to see his face. At least the dark story of the villain and the princess will not be turned into a Beauty and the Beast story.
Only Tova felt somewhat regretful, but she was the student council president after all, and she was determined, and she played the role of the princess with great spirit, so there were no problems.
The rehearsal is over, and the next thing is to see the performance on the day of the school festival.
Soon, the next day, the school festival officially opened.
Since the school festival was open to the public, Ling, Tio, Tita, Fei, Anjie, and Enya all came to support the event. Fang Zheng also took them around, allowing the little girls to enjoy the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the school.
"By the way, big brother, what is the content of the play you are going to perform?"
"You'll know once you see it. Don't forget to like it..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced at his watch.
"It's almost time. I have to go backstage. Remember to call me from the audience."
"no problem!"
The little ones naturally had to give face to Fang Zheng's play, so the girls came to the auditorium excitedly and sat down, and then the play began - it didn't take long for the girls to know what the story was about.
"They actually let Brother Fang Zheng play the villain?"
Seeing that Fang Zheng was actually playing the villain Night Knight, Tita seemed a little surprised, while Enaya next to her smiled slightly.
"Will it? I think Mr. Fang Zheng is quite suitable for this role, right?"
"Um."
Hearing Enaya's question, Fei and Anjie also nodded. Unlike Tida, they had seen how Fang Zheng manipulated the aliens to hang those cult believers. Compared with what Fang Zheng did at that time, the Night Knight is now a very non-villainous villain.
However, Theo and Ling did not participate in the discussion of the plot. They just stared at the stage in front of them seriously and whispered something.
"Sister Alisa is playing a maid."
"Well, it seems that it has nothing to do with Mr. Fang Zheng."
"That's Ellie, right? I see. She's in charge of playing the role of the knight's squire."
"It has nothing to do with Mr. Fang Zheng."
"It should be fine."
The two little girls were whispering to each other, saying something that no one else could understand.
At this moment, the performance on the stage progressed to the scene where the Night Knight turned evil and forcibly took the princess away. Seeing the Night Knight holding the princess in his arms and covering her with a cloak, everyone couldn't help but scream, and at this moment Ling and Tio stared at the stage with their eyes wide open.
"Did you see that, Theo?"
"I saw it. That sister's expression... is not right!"
Perhaps for ordinary people, they just saw a wonderful performance, but who are Ling and Tio? They almost immediately noticed that the moment the girl playing the princess was pulled into Fang Zheng's arms, she revealed an expression mixed with shyness and expectation - although most people didn't see it clearly because Fang Zheng covered her with a cloak the next moment, it definitely did not escape the eyes of the two little guys!
"Who is that sister?!"
“Why didn’t Sister Alyssa inform me?”
The little guy below clenched his fists. The development on the stage had reached the most critical moment. The blackened Knight of Night came to the throne and killed the king with a sword in hand.
"This kingdom will perish, and from its ashes a new order will be born. Its power will make the whole world tremble!"
Looking at the Night Knight who was raising his sword and roaring on the stage, the audience below couldn't help but exclaim. This villain was really too scary, as if he was really an evil character who had killed his monarch and forcibly took the princess.
At the same time, in a corner of the auditorium, a blonde woman wearing sunglasses and a hat looked at Fang Zheng on the stage excitedly and grabbed the hand of the man next to her.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? I saw a new star on the stage! We must recruit him into the troupe, Captain!!"
"I heard it. Don't get excited, Ilia."
The man next to him had his arm grabbed by the blonde woman and had a wry smile on his face.
It must be said that Fang Zheng's strength was there after all. Although the mask covered most of his face, his handsomeness was not diminished at all. Soon, he successfully presented the image of a top dark villain who killed the king, took possession of the princess, and destroyed the country in front of the audience.
Fortunately, there aren't many rivalry scenes between the Knight of Light and the Knight of Night, and compared to Fang Zheng, Chlos has a wider audience base among students. Otherwise, halfway through the show, all the audience might turn against the Demon King and the show wouldn't be able to go on.
Soon, the plot reached a critical stage. The Knight of Light led his army to the city. The Knight of Night captured the princess and threatened the Knight of Light to withdraw his troops with her life and property, otherwise he would kill the princess.
"Leave me alone, Light!"
Standing on the stairs of the set, Tova clasped her hands and looked at Chlos, who was playing the Knight of Light on the other side.
"Kill this villain who destroyed the country and killed his own people, and end his evil rule. I love you, Wright, but I'm sorry, I can't be with you anymore!"
At this point, Tova suddenly broke free from Fang Zheng's hand and ran to the front of the set. According to the next performance sequence, the princess jumped down from the tower, and then the Knight of Light burst into tears and vowed to fight to the death with the Knight of Night.
However, at this moment...
“Hiss.”
Fang Zheng suddenly discovered that the hem of Tova's skirt was caught by the wood of the handrail next to the scenery, but Tova was unaware of this at the moment. She had already taken a big step forward and was about to jump down - if this happened, Tova's entire skirt would be torn to pieces, and the girl's lower body would be exposed to everyone without any cover.
This won’t do!
At this moment, Tova had already assumed a jumping posture, and her skirt began to tear greatly. At this time, Tova finally realized that the situation was not good. However, she could not resist gravity and could only watch herself falling down!
“Swish!!”
However, just as Tova lost her balance and fell forward, Fang Zheng suddenly appeared behind Tova, then he grabbed Tova's hand and pulled her back. At the same time, Fang Zheng lowered his head and directly blocked Tova's lips with his mouth as she almost screamed.
“Ugh…!!!”
Feeling Fang Zheng's sudden kiss, Tova's face flushed immediately, her eyes were blurred, and her big eyes were now full of mist. In the depths of the girl's brown eyes, a shining pink heart suddenly appeared. Then the girl's body softened, and she collapsed in Fang Zheng's arms.
"You are my woman, and I am the only one who has the power to decide your life and death."
Fang Zheng whispered in Tova's ear, then he picked up Tova and looked at Chlos who was also stunned by the unexpected scene.
"Knight of Light! If you want to take the princess back, then come. I will be waiting for you in the castle. I will let the princess see how her beloved man and his army fall helplessly in the face of darkness. By then, she will be shrouded in despair and completely become mine!"
"Shut up, Night Knight... No, Night Devil!!"
Chloë reacted quickly as well. After Fang Zheng changed the lines, she immediately responded.
"I will definitely defeat you and rescue the princess. I won't let you do whatever you want. The night is long, but it will eventually pass. Light will appear at the end of the horizon again and illuminate this world!!!"
Soon, the audience below burst into applause, and then the curtain was drawn, and preparations began for the battle scene of the final scene. At this moment, Fang Zheng also returned to the backstage with the frightened Tova in his arms.
"Phew, that's great. Are you okay, President?"
Seeing this scene ended successfully, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to ask about Towa's well-being. They saw the situation clearly in the backstage. If Fang Zheng had not rushed forward at the last moment, Towa's current situation would not be certain.
However, facing everyone's questions, Tova looked confused. Fang Zheng reached out and gently patted her face, which made Tova come back to her senses.
"Hey? Ah... I'm fine, thank you for your concern... Um... It's okay."
"I'm glad you're okay."
Hearing Tova's answer, the drama minister breathed a sigh of relief, then he frowned again.
"But then, how do we act next?"
After all, according to the script, the princess should have committed suicide, but Fang Zheng stopped her from doing so, so the subsequent plot would naturally be completely different.
"How about this, the duel between me and Chloë remains the same. After Chloë defeats me, we will directly rescue Tova. Then you can go back to the dialogue between the Knight of Light and the Princess after their rebirth in the script... You can adapt to the situation in between."
Fang Zheng quickly came up with a solution. Although everyone was helpless, they had no choice but to accept it.
Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, now, only by following the old routine can the performance be successfully completed.
"Very good, then everyone get ready, the final scene will begin soon!!"
