Chapter 56 Perform On The Same Stage
Lara's face was slightly stiff.
If she said no, she would be regarded as narrow-minded.
Fortunately, she had been acting for so many years, but Clarissa had never acted before, so she thought that Clarissa knew nothing about acting.
"Since she wants to invite humiliation, I'll fulfill her wish."
Thinking of this, Lara smiled with confidence.
"Alright!"
Seeing this, Freddie also agreed.
He sat back behind the camera and felt a little expectant in his heart.
Although he had chosen Lara to play Ava, in fact, Lara was not the perfect candidate in his mind.
However, there was no better choice, so he could only make such an arrangement for the time being.
As for Clarissa, when he first met her, he was amazed by her beauty.
She had calm and unemotional temperament, and she could make people feel scared just by frowning slightly. In his mind, she was just like Ava.
However, Clarissa was not an actress, and he had never heard that she wanted to be an actress.
Therefore, even if Freddie wanted her to play Eva, he couldn't tell her.
After all, acting was not something to be trifled with. Although the excerpts would be edited, the acting skills of actors were also very important.
Although Lara was not the perfect candidate in his heart, she was good at acting. Besides, he believed that as long as he taught her, she could play the role well.
However, since they could perform on the same stage, it was naturally better.
He could take this chance to see who was more suitable to play Ava.
After a while, Clarissa and Lara changed their clothes and walk out from the backstage.
Clarissa was wearing a suit of armor, while Lara was wearing a red palace costume.
What they were going to perform was the most exciting part of the entire play.
Clarissa played the leading actress Ava, while Lara played Ava's younger sister, Myra Lee.
Ava and Myra were the daughters of the prime minister. After their country was destroyed, they and their princess, Erica, were escorted to their enemies' country.
Ava had been practicing martial arts since she was young and she was Erica's good friend. She shouldered the responsibility of protecting Myra and Erica.
However, no long after they arrived at their enemies' country, Erica volunteered to become the emperor's concubine in order to restore their country.
Ava gradually became antithetical to Myra because of the differences between their goals and values.
Myra fell in love with the prince. In order to let the prince marry her, she betrayed Ava and told the prince where Ava's remaining confederates were hiding.
Ava broke off with Myra and escaped from the palace. After spending her time flitting between six countries, she finally led her remaining confederates to put down roots in the northwest region. She established the first country which was administered by an empress in history.
This scene was about the encounter of Ava and Myra after parting for years. Ava led her army to take revenge for her country. Myra had become the empress dowager. When Ava attacked Myra's country, this was also the last time they saw each other.
The word "Action" sounded, and the performance began.
Myra sat upright on the seat. At this time, the emperor had died and the new emperor was young, so she attended to state affairs as the empress dowager.
However, at this time, someone rushed in urgently.
"Your Majesty, the enemies have entered our country!"
All the ministers were in a panic.
"What should we do? We'd better escape now!"
"There's no way to escape. The four gates in the north, south, east, and west have all been breached. There are so many enemies."
"Where is our generals and soldiers? Where are they?"
"They... are all... dead!"
Myra was speechless.
The ministers were so panicked. However, there was no expression in Myra's face, and she was very calm.
At the time, the door to the hall was opened.
The armored soldiers rushed in.
"Kill all of them except for those who surrender!"
On the stage, actors begun to fight with swords and screamed.
When Myra saw Ava coming in from the outside of the hall, her expressionless face finally changed.
Ava was dressed in a set of black armor, holding a long spear in her hand. When she frowned, she looked grave and dignified. Dressing in the armor, she was like the demon from hell. She considered everyone and everything beneath her notice. She was arrogant and overbearing!
In the audience, Freddie's eyes lit up when he saw Clarissa walk out.
That was...
The image in his mind was exactly the same as what he saw, and he became excited in an instant.
Clarissa... was just Ava in his mind!
Ava's country had been disintegrated and her family had been destroyed. She lived in troubled times and suffered a lot. Her family members left her one by one in the war, and she gradually became strong and commanding.
She didn't choose to be a gentle woman. She wanted to restore her country by herself!
Finally, she came back arrogantly and proudly!
Not only Freddie, but also the other staff members were all shocked!
They had never known that a woman could look so beautiful in armor!
She didn't look weak and manly, but rather heroic. She looked pretty but also overbearing, showing her aggressiveness and majesty.
"Oh, my god! She's so charming!" One staff member said.
On the throne, Myra looked at Ava and slowly clenched her hands in her sleeves.
"You're here."
She said with sarcasm and loneliness.
Ava glanced at her coldly, and then someone pulled Myra down from the throne.
"Let go of me! I will walk by myself!"
She struggled for a moment, but she was slapped ruthlessly!
It was Ava who slapped her.
Ava said coldly, "I slapped you because you betrayed me fifteen years ago!"
Fifteen years ago, Myra had become the concubine of the prince. Ava wanted to escape from the palace. Myra promised to help her, but she told the prince about her plan.
That time, Ava was almost killed by the arrows.
Lara's face was slapped aside. She didn't expect that Clarissa would really slap her face.
But she soon realized that Clarissa was taking revenge on her!
Because she struck Evelyn with the whip just now.
However, Lara was the movie queen. Although she was not really qualified as a movie queen, her basic acting skills were not bad.
She just got angry for a moment, and then her expression changed immediately.
"Ava, do you know why I betrayed you that year?"
Ava looked at her and had guessed the reason in her heart.
Then, Myra said slowly, "Since we were young, you are always the best and the most beautiful. Our parents doted on you the most. Even when we were captured, the prince fell in love with you first."
"You're no better than me! As for the needlework, I'm better than you. As for poetry and painting, I'm more talented than you. I know nothing about martial arts, but that's what men learn. Why does everyone like you?"
"I swore that I would not be inferior to you. I swore that I would become the most powerful person and let you suffer!"
