Chapter 45
Daniel’s expression turned grim as he pursed his lips and continued watching. The way Stella handled her expressions was immaculate. With so many lines, she merely took two minutes to memorize them all. Furthermore, the proficiency of her lines did not seem like someone with no acting experience.
Until her performance had ended, no one on set spoke a word. Although Stella was confident in her abilities, she could not handle every expression in every passage appropriately in such a short time. Hence, she could only do her best. Daniel did not comment on whether it was good or not. Instead, the people beside him whispered something into his ears. He then lifted his gaze and said to Stella, “You should try this other scene.”
Stella’s eyes brightened slightly when she saw a little hope. Otherwise, they would have told her to leave after reading a small passage. Another script was given to her. Stella lowered her head and saw that it was not the previous character. Instead, it was the third female lead in the script, the role of a consort.
This character was different from the generic female supporting character from before. The consort was born in the Prime Minister’s household. She was beautiful and willful. She relied on the king’s favoritism to dominate the palace to the point that the Queen consort also feared her.
When she faced off against the female lead, she was ruthless and clearly malicious. However, she was a delicate and clingy siren in front of the emperor. She could act coquettish yet have a tantrum. The contrast the character had was strong. If she could handle it appropriately, this character could be very endearing.
‘But, was the role of the third female lead set? Why did Daniel let me try this scene?‘ Stella thought.
Although she had questions deep inside her heart, she did not ask them out loud. After memorizing the lines, she lifted her head. “I can start now.” Daniel nodded his head and motioned for her to start.
Stella conjured the correct emotions and then lifted her gaze. An arrogant presence emerged immediately from her nonchalantly. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and she completely complemented the words of exquisite beauty. There was no doubt that she had dominated the palace with her beauty.
