2 Days Before Furina's Premiere
Fontaine Morning Post
The play Faust, performed by the Opera Epiclese Troupe and featuring Lady Furina, will go on sale tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp at the Opera Epiclese ticket office.
As soon as this news was released, the people of Fontaine were in an uproar.
"Oh! Tickets are finally on sale!"
"Tickets go on sale at 9:00 AM tomorrow, so should we catch the early morning carriage?"
"What do you know? If you go at 9:00 AM tomorrow, you won't get anything! You have to queue overnight starting today!"
"Ah? Is it that scary? Let's hurry then."
This was a conversation between two brothers who loved drama after seeing the news. After speaking, they rushed to the Opera Epiclese.
When they arrived, it was already noon, and they immediately ran to the ticket office.
However, they were dumbfounded.
At this time, there was already a queue of a dozen people at the ticket office and basically everyone had a tent or a sleeping bag with them.
"This is seriously an overnight queue!"
With no other choice, the two joined the queue.
As time passed, more and more people joined the line. By 9:00 PM, the long queue already held nearly a hundred people.
Next to the queue, the four large characters No Overnight Queuing were written clearly, but... everyone remained unmoved.
The time pushed to 7:00 AM the next day.
The ticket office opened its doors directly, opening ticket sales.
"Hurry, it's open!"
A commotion erupted in the crowd instantly, everyone trying desperately to squeeze forward, wanting to buy tickets as soon as possible.
"No cutting in line, maintain order!"
The Gardes were maintaining order on the side.
Thousands of tickets were sold out within 1 hour.
"What a terrifying time. Tickets actually needed to be snatched so early?"
This was unprecedented in the history of Fontaine's drama scene.
It can only be said that Furina's influence was simply too great; many people who didn't usually watch dramas also wanted to take this opportunity to see what Furina looked like performing on stage.
However, those who arrived at 9:00 AM sharp were dumbfounded.
"Where are the tickets? Wasn't it agreed that ticket sales would start at 9:00?"
At this moment, an old man took the initiative to approach the young man who was messy in the wind.
"Young man, I still have a ticket here. Do you want it?"
"Really?"
The young man's eyes lit up instantly. "I want it!"
"100,000 Mora each."
"Ah?" The young man was almost stunned when he heard the price.
"This is the lowest price I can go, it's more expensive with other tickets!"
The old man glanced at the young man. "Take it or leave it, plenty of others want it."
The young man was anxious and painfully fished out 100,000 Mora from his wallet and handed it to the old man.
The old man then showed a triumphant smile, handed the ticket to the young man, and said: "There, happy trading~"
"Ahhh! Damn scalper!"
The night before Furina's premiere.
Late at night, the area around the Opera Epiclese was pitch black and silent.
Several people brought shovels and other tools and found a suitable place.
"Boss, will this really work?" A man asked.
"Hey, listen to me, it's a guaranteed win."
Several people started digging.
The next day, the day of Furina's premiere.
At 1:00 PM, the audience began to check tickets and enter.
People who snatched tickets were overjoyed and prepared to enter the Opera Epiclese to catch a glimpse of Furina's performance. Those who didn't snatch tickets could only wander around the Opera Epiclese to see if they could hear Furina's voice from the perimeter.
A poor fellow named Xiaoshuai was the honest person who arrived on time to snatch tickets that day.
His final result... well, you know.
At this moment, a person patted Xiaoshuai on the shoulder, pulled him into a corner and said sneakily to him. "Do you want to go in? I am an insider, I can take you in."
Xiaoshuai, as if finding a life-saving straw, excitedly grasped the person's hand. "Thank you so much! I will pay any amount of Mora…"
The person smiled. "Then it's settled, see you at the ticket gate in a moment…"
Note, another woman named Xiaomei encountered the same situation as Xiaoshuai.
Just as Xiaomei was distressed about not getting a ticket, another person approached her.
"I have an internal passage, you can enter for 500,000 Mora!"
Xiaomei was someone who didn't care about money and directly threw out 500,000 Mora.
We don't know the final outcome of Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei, we can only know a thing or two from the next day's news.
Next day, Fontaine Morning Post.
Disturbance at the ticket gate for Lady Furina's premiere opera.
It is reported that when the ticket checking work started normally that day, two strong adult men suddenly grabbed the ticket inspector and security, preventing them from acting normally, giving a man the opportunity to sneak into the Opera Epiclese without a ticket.
Currently, all three have been arrested by the Gardes, and the case is under further investigation.
Someone dug a tunnel to sneak into Furina's premiere opera.
It is reported that before the performance started that day, people dug a tunnel from the ground leading to the Opera Epiclese to sneak in without a ticket. They were arrested by the Gardes at the exit of the tunnel. The mastermind of this case graduated from the Sumeru Akademiya, Kshahrewar architecture major.
Currently, all people involved in this case have been arrested by the Gardes and the case is under further investigation.
Time back to the day of the performance.
Furina met with the Opera Epiclese Troupe early and headed to the Opera Epiclese.
In the dressing room, the makeup artist carefully applied makeup to Furina.
The noisy sounds of the audience outside were vaguely transmitted to the inside of the Opera Epiclese, to Furina's ears.
This was the first time Furina stood on such a big stage to perform and her emotions were already very restless.
What was that emotion? There was nervousness, but more excitement.
However, as soon as the audience's voices joined in, the excitement was almost gone, and nervousness covered Furina's whole body.
In the Inner Space, Rina gently held Furina's hand and the gentle Hydro slowly conducted into Furina's body. Rina hoped to relieve Furina's nervous emotions in this way.
As Rina, the person who is the twin of Furina, she would try to solve the prophecy crisis, accompany and protect Furina, and relieve her lonely and desolate emotions.
As Furina's drama teacher, Rina would take the current control of emotions as a compulsory lesson on his acting path, guiding him to maintain the correct emotions;
As Furina's friend, Rina would fulfill the duties of a friend, making her feel more secure and more relaxed.
As Furina's lov... Uh, well, they are not in that relationship yet.
At this moment in the auditorium.
The audience was entering one after another. The Iudex, Neuvillette, who was usually busy with official business, heard the news that Furina would perform in this play and rarely put down his work to come and support.
After a while, the lights suddenly dimmed.
The performance was about to begin...
