Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1120  The End Of A Fairy Tale [Part 3]

"We're just talking, and then bam! All the lights went out," Francesca said in an animated fashion, moving her hands to emphasize how surprised she had been. "It was like one of those horror films I directed. I could have sworn that Zadaku was about to pounce at me from the darkness."

"That must have been scary," Luna said with a stiff smile on her face. She had changed into her Pajamas to make it seem like she had just woken up from her sleep. Lux's clothes were folded and hidden away inside her closet, preventing anyone from seeing them.

"I almost screamed when I felt something brush past my leg." Hollie shuddered. "I swear I felt goosebumps then and there."

Luna knew that the one that brushed past her was them, so she decided to keep mum and simply look at her manager with concern in her eyes.

"I'm just glad that nothing serious happened," Luna stated. "True." Francesca nodded. "The lights went off for half a minute, I think, before the power returned. I was just so shocked because everything became dark all of a sudden."

Hollie nodded before reminding Francesca about the reason why they were intruding on Luna's room so early in the morning.

"I would like to ask for your opinion about this last scene that we are planning to shoot," Francesca stated. "We made a last-minute revision of the script and decided to follow the Cinderella route. You know, when the clock strikes twelve, she runs away and leaves her shoe behind.

"However, it will be different with Cantarella. When the clock strikes twelve, it will be Lux who will be running away. After that, you will run after him to the garden. We will place various cameras at every angle.

"The two of you will recite the lines from the revised script and hug each other. After that, we will let the Editing Team use some special effects to make Lux disappear. Since this is the last scene, I want to make it memorable. Feel free to improvise. I'll take responsibility!"

Luna nodded her head in understanding. Last-minute changes in the script were a very common thing, so she wasn't too bothered by it.

"Will you visit Lux later to talk to him about the changes in the script?" Luna asked.

"That's the plan." Francesca nodded. "I will also tell him that he can improvise. Even ad-libbing is fine. As long as it's fitting."

"Good." Luna smiled. "I'm sure that we will definitely make this last scene work out well."

"I'm looking forward to it," Francesca smirked. "This is going to be a big hit. I'm sure of it!"

After discussing things with Luna, Francesca and Hollie headed to Lux's room and told him about the changes in the script.

Although he had never taken any acting classes, the Half-Elf gradually but also quickly adapted, making Francesca think of him as one of those geniuses who were born to become an actor.

Several hours later, just past sunset, the Film Crew was ready to film the final scenes of the movie.

The setting was the Royal Ball, which was held to make the members of the various Royal Families meet each other. Of course, some special individuals were also invited to join this banquet, including commoners who had managed to catch the attention of the High-Ranking Nobles and the Royalty.

This shoot took several hours because the Royal Banquet was the place where certain developments happened. Although there were a few retakes, everything went well in the end. Luna played her role perfectly, showing off her acting abilities. Because of her performance, Claudia and Francesca planned to invite her to their next Project, which was still in the works.

Naturally, they also wanted Lux to be part of their next project as well. There were several Producers who were looking for a "red-headed Half-Elf" to play a big role in the projects that they had in mind. But Claudia and Francesca had no intention of sharing the diamond that they found with others, making the two of them feel giddy because of Lux's potential.

"Okay, everyone ready," Francesca announced. "Action!"

The soft, mellow music played in the background, and the cameras zoomed in on the beautiful lady with long blonde hair, sitting at the corner of the ballroom.

She was wearing a white dress that highlighted her beauty, making her look like a sweet innocent angel that had descended upon the world.

Several handsome men asked her to dance with them, but she turned all of them down politely.

However, when it was the Villain's turn to ask her for a dance, her rejection made him angry.

Because of this, he forcefully grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him.

"My Lady, there are some people whom you mustn't offend no matter what," the Villain used his finger to lightly caress the side of Luna's face, making the latter shudder. "Are you saying that you plan to turn down the Crown Prince of your own kingdom? Please choose your next words carefully…"

"I-I…" Luna was at a loss for what to say.

On one hand, rejecting the Crown Prince would make her life difficult.

On the other hand, accepting his invitation was also just as dangerous.

If she decided to dance with the Crown Prince, she would become the target of the Princesses from the neighboring kingdoms who had come to the ball to catch the Crown Prince's attention.

Left with no choice, she was about to nod her head and accept the Prince's proposal when, suddenly, someone grabbed hold of the Crown Prince's wrist, stopping him from pulling Luna to the dance floor.

"I'm sorry, but I already reserved her last dance," a powerful and charismatic voice reverberated inside the ballroom as Lux made his appearance. "Please, let go of My Lady's hand or else."

"Or else what?" the Villain sneered, making everyone in the ballroom look in their direction.

Clearly, they wanted to see the outcome of the battle between the two handsome Princes from the two most powerful Kingdoms on the continent.

Lux casually took off his right glove and threw it at the Crown Prince's chest.

"I heard that you're a genius swordsman," Lux said with a devilish smile on his face. "Care to prove it in front of everyone?"

The Villain snorted. "If you want everyone to watch your shameful performance, then I shall oblige and accept your duel."

"Good." Lux nodded. "Shall we?"

The dancers in the ballroom cleared out the scene and watched as the two Princes drew their swords at the same time.

Without warning, the two clashed with each other, their swords sending sparks flying in every direction.

Luna looked at the two young men with worry in her eyes. She was hoping that Lux would not be hurt by his opponent, the Crown Prince who was well known as a master swordsman.

Suddenly, the Crown Prince rotated his sword quickly, knocking the sword out of Lux's hand and causing it to fly high up in the air. Just as the Villain thought that he already won, Lux unsheathed the second sword that hung on his waist.

He was a dual wielder and would always carry two swords with him.

This caught the Crown Prince by surprise, and soon, Lux's flurry of attacks pushed him back.

Just as everyone thought that the battle between the two would come to a stalemate, the red-headed Prince raised his hand and caught the falling sword that had been sent flying by the Villain.

Armed with a sword in both hands, he quickly neutralized the Crown Prince.

The battle ended after the Villain's sword fell from his grasp, and the tip of Lux's blade pressed over his neck.

"It's my win," Lux said with a smile.

The Crown Prince clicked his tongue. "This isn't over!"

After spouting the lines of a typical second-rate Villain, which he truly was, the Crown Prince walked away, leaving the victor standing in the center of the ballroom.

Lux returned his swords back to their scabbards and walked toward Luna.

When he was only a meter away from her, he knelt on the ground like a knight and reached out his hand to her.

"Would you honor me to have the last dance with you, Princess?" Lux asked, making the other ladies in the room look at Luna with envy and jealousy.

"It will be my honor, Your Highness," Luna replied as she placed her hand over the red-headed Prince's hand with a smile on her face.

Soon, the final song of the night played, and the two of them started to dance.

A dance that the two of them would remember for many years to come.
