The Luster of Stars in Moscow
⁇ 38
"Truly messed up," the stage supervisor grumbled as he massaged his temple. "He should have known that if there was a light from the front, the figure behind the scenes of the zanaves could not be seen from the bleachers!"
"But if he doesn't know, what can he do?" Mikail.
"Beautiful! You don't have to come to the castle of the Bad-Frame," Ibrahim Solomonov spoke of his dialogue as the merchant, the father of the Beautiful.
"But.." Cyzarine insisted.
"Alright, Dad! There's no need to hold it in," Evaline interrupted them.
"Right," Lila chimed in. "If he says go, he'll go!"
"How are you, anyway?" Ibrahim rebuked the two sisters of the Beautiful. "Your sister is leaving and it's not clear if she can come back."
"Stop, Dad!" Cyzarine raised his voice. "Sister is deliberately saying things that are not important and unpleasant."
Lila and Evaline growled together, then clenched her mouth with a pouting face.
"Well!" Cheri grunts behind the scenes zanaves. "Look at that," he booed. "By saying such a thing, once again you have made yourself the only good child."
Cyzarine raised his jaw and walked slowly to the front of the zanaves screen.
Cheri shifted a little to the side. "Every time you do, you make your brothers look bad!" He continued. "From day to day, you make them bad people.
Cyzarine also shifted and stopped right in front of Cheri.
Cheri swallowed. He did it again, he thought. If I go left, he moves left. If I go to the right, he moves to the right.
He didn't do it on purpose, did he?
"Cyzarin! Your standing always covered me," Cheri whispered to Cyzarine.
Cyzarine snorted and glanced at Cheri. "I know" he replied in a whisper. "I did it on purpose" he said without the slightest burden. Then, look straight back at the spectator.
Intentionally? Cheri glanced inexhaustibly.
"Are you going to ruin this drama?" Cheri is hissing sharply at Cyzarine.
Cyzarine grinned and glanced at him again. "Who said it?" grunts. "This drama will keep going even if you never existed. This role of yours is just a role that will disappear at the end of the story. Actual role if nothing is okay. So I decided not to take the responsibility of covering you up until the audience was completely unaware of you."
Whahuh?
Cheri froze with a wounded feeling.
"In short, you're just acting as my monologue's replacement." Cyzarine added. "If you can cover up my mistakes, that's enough" he said.
Cheri. Swaying without power. A hard blow struck him in the air of his heart.
Wh why? Vibrant mind.
Why is he willing to do something like this?
A few hours ago he nearly tore through this scenario.
Who gave him the courage to do all this?
Isn't drama done alone?
A role not needed?
Whatdoes thatmean?
Why would Rafael have to make this kind of figure?
What am I doing here…
It means absolutely nothing!
What was he thinking to the point of giving me this useless role?
Why am I the only one locked up behind this screen?
"By being able to play with you, Rafael to the point of making convoluted tactics like this" Cyzarine said hours ago.
Is this really Rafael's tactic so he can play with me?
Nah! Cheri realized.
Rafael made this tactic not to be able to play with me!
But just so I can keep playing without harming everyone!
He's gabbling!
Vladimir Valensky may be right, recalls Cheri bitterly.
Rafael's toy doll!
I'm nothing more than a toy!
Entering the scene of the meeting of the Beautiful and the Ugly…
Cherie felt her heart being torn apart.
The Ugly Rafa played, he thought sadly. Staring at the nano-friendly scene of the man she admired with the other girl before her eyes.
"Beautiful.." Rafael whispered softly in Cyzarine's ear as he hugged her. "I didn't mean to eat you. If you're willing to stay in this castle, that's enough for me."
No, Cheri choked in his heart.
Rafael gently pulled Cyzarine's head to his chest.
Don't hug anyone else that way in front of me!
Cheri lamented in his heart.
Unknowingly tears spread in her eye pelukan, then fell rolling on her delicate cheeks.
His knees were shaking uncontrollably. His body collapsed unnoticed, falling down while crying.
The stage supervisor and Mikail simultaneously turned to Cheri.
"Bad Appearance!"
The cry of Cyzarine resuscitated Cheri.
Surely that's okay, right? Thought cynical. I was not seen from the audience bench. I'm just a substitute for the Cyzarine monologue. If I could cover up the mistake, that would be enough.
"How unfortunate it is.." Cyzarine uttered his dialogue a little cynical, as if trying to scorn Cheri's defeat. "His face is really terrible" he sighed.
Arrrr!
Cheri growled in his heart. Clenching both of his hands, then getting up and out of the zanaves screen.
The audience sounded screamed.
The players backstage were suddenly rowdy.
"Cheri out of zanaves!" Someone screamed in panic.
"Cheri—" Mikail hissed in the control room.
Rafael glared beside him. He had just joined the control room when Cheri decided to rebel from the injustice that defeated him.
I won't lose! Chery decided.
"Isn't this how she's not the shadow of the Beautiful anymore?" Abraham grumbled beside Saul.
"What's he doing?" Saul.
"Why did he come out from behind the scenes?" The others began to follow.
"What does he want to do?"
"Hasn't she been set as the heart of the Beautiful? So why is he out now?"
Heh! Cheri snorted cynically.
Cyzarine grunted in annoyance.
I am the evil side, Cheri said inwardly. Destroying the Beautiful is my mission!
But this decision might ruin the image of the Beautiful Shadow and ruin the drama.
Only I can decide my fate!
Cyzarine won't follow me!
The girl turned her face and filled.
He left the stage!
Is he trying to escape from this scene?
No, thought Cheri. Cyzarine is not the type of person who can do such a thing calmly.
Cheri turned in the opposite direction and joined the side.
"Lho's? They left the stage!" Someone commented on the spectator bench. "So, what was that scene?"
"What does that mean?" The other audience wondered.
The audience was already starting to fuss, Cheri thought. But he's not worried. He was used to stage accidents like this.
It is unexpected that the mistakes of the past train me much better than Rafael, he thought cynically.
I will lure everyone in by directly following Cyzarine's movements, he said in his heart. Now Cyzarine will definitely stop and look back.
Cheri stopped and looked back, looking straight at Cyzarine.
The guess didn't miss!
Their movements are really exact.
Cheri smirked thinly, while Cyzarine looked confused. But both of them are knitting eyebrows together.
This is the new one whose name our acting is pitted against, Cyzarine! Cheri was satisfied.
Cyzarine twisted his body and Cheri followed him as well.
Cyzarine put the tip of his finger on his lips, but it was also able to be guessed by Cheri.
Cyzarine is the type of person whose mind is predictable, Cheri thought. Especially if the pantomime is not a problem for me at all.
"What are they doing?" Some of the spectators returned. "If one is to the left the other to the right."
"It seems they are doing the same movement" another commenter commented.
"I understand!" Someone exclaimed enthusiastically. "They play the front and back!"
Nice, inner Cheri. The audience realized that I was playing as a mirror.
Cyzarine also noticed it!
"Why, Beautiful?" Cheri asked cynically to Cyzarine. "You surprised?"
