135 Chapter 135 - Times Change

Farucci’s Mansion. Since it was established in Norland, today would be the most luminous day for Farucci’s Mansion.

The Archduchess of Blackwood, Madam Schroder, had invited practically all the major nobles in Norland to her mansion. She did not care if the nations those nobles belonged to had a good relationship with Farucci or not.

The reason for that was because today was the announcement of the change of an era!

In the past, when Farucci was faced with destruction, a young woman raised up her flag and initiated a massive revolution and drove out all the enemies of Farucci from their territory. At the same time, she overthrew the incomparably ignorant ruler of Farucci at that time and officially proclaimed the arrival of Farucci’s cultural revitalization.

Ever since then, great composers and playwrights have continued to emerge from the country of Farucci. Great works capable of being passed on for all eternity continued to be born from that country. Farucci also gained the title of the Nation of Art.

But, even though they possessed that title, not everyone in the world accepted Farucci’s stage plays and theater works.

Take the Nation of Steel and the Nation of Ice for example. Those ‘barbarians’ have always viewed art to be beneath contempt.

But, today’s screening of ‘Léon: The Demon’ will completely overthrow Farucci’s former stage plays and theatrical works.

Two of the servants were holding an enormous picture frame. The picture frame was twelve feet long and nearly nine feet wide… It was so large that it seemed difficult to carry even with two people.

Stageplays also used ‘posters’ to publicize themselves. The only difference from a movie’s poster was that the stageplays’ posters were hand drawn.

The wall on Farucci’s Mansion was practically covered in the posters from the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s past performances.

But today, before the poster for ‘Léon: The Demon,’ Madam Schroder actually felt those other posters to be somewhat irksome to her eyes.

“Remove that sculpture over there too.”

Madam Schroder gave another order. She made several more adjustments. Only then did the servants finally place the poster at the place Madam Schroder found suitable.

Madam Schroder looked at the poster and nodded her head. The picture on the poster was that of the main male and female characters Léon and Mathilda walking on the street. Mathilda was holding a potted plant and a little stuffed bear in a slightly clumsy manner. Léon, the cold killer walking next to her, was holding a wooden suitcase.

Using her authority as a ‘movie investor,’ Madam Schroder has watched the completed version of ‘Léon: The Demon,’ before everyone else.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Even though she has been in close proximity to the filming of the movie multiple times, she was still unable to help herself from becoming deeply immersed in the movie.

Kaos looked to General Fred. Even though he would always talk about not wanting to waste his time on those sort of meaningless things, he went out of his way to search him out and bring him to Farucci’s Mansion all so that they could watch the premiere of a new movie.

General Fred did not answer Kaos. His ice-cold expression signaled that if Kaos dared to continue to linger on this question, he would very likely be thrown into the Nation of Steel’s army barracks tomorrow so that he can continue on with the cruel training he has undergone during his childhood period.

Kaos didn’t plan to continue to argue with this stubborn old man. He directly walked toward the reception hall.

There were a lot of beautiful girls in Farucci’s Mansion. Many of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s female performers were there too.

They were people that many men in this world dreamed of. Unfortunately, the lead female actress in the movie being premiered in Farucci’s Mansion was not Belle. If it was her, Kaos might be able to meet her here.
