Chapter 105: Für Elise [3]

"She's a phenomenon."

"Right? I didn't expect to see such a talented young actress in this era of University students."

"She's alright."

Mixed reactions flowed from the audience. 

But these weren't ordinary spectators. They were alumni who had left behind the path of a mage and gone on to pursue careers in entertainment, many as celebrities.

"I've seen her before. Charlotte Astrea. She starred in a few plays as a child. Then, she vanished from the media scene one day. And now…. to think I'd see that child again, performing as a fine young woman."

This comment came from a man who had once been the president of the Drama Club during his time at Silver Tower University. 

After graduation, he had become a manager at a distinguished entertainment agency. Initially, he hadn't expected much from the festival's play. However, now his opinion had changed entirely.

Everything about the production impressed him—the setup, the props, the well-designed costumes, and most of all, the stellar performances from the cast. 

Especially Charlotte Astrea. She had the natural talent to captivate the audience in the addictive way she pronounced each word.

He leaned toward a colleague and whispered, "This girl could easily become a top star if she wanted to."

His colleague nodded in agreement. "I wouldn't be surprised if scouts are already lining up after tonight."

"Indeed," another added. "But the script…. it could be better. While the audience can relate to it, the story itself isn't anything remarkable."

"I managed to get my hands on the script through some connections," the former Drama Club president said. "I understand the slow pacing."

"Really? What's the genre? Isn't it a love triangle?"

"It is," he replied. "But there's another genre layered beneath it."

"Oh? What's that?"

The manager paused for a moment before responding.

"Tragedy."

——Yes, as I reported earlier, His Imperial Highness, Franz—

"Don't call him that," Irene interrupted coldly.

——Keum…. of course. My apologies, Lady Irene. As I reported earlier, based on clues gathered so far, I speculate that Franz attended the festival solely to meet Vanitas Astrea.
