Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand
Acting Director
The title of the play is "Queen Without Laughter".
As Buyers and Pillman have said, it seems to be based on historical events, and the names of real people appear.
It was a long time ago, when the Galai kingdom still had no shadow or form.
Behind the play is a famous legend known to children in the south, "King Amor's Unlaughing Queen."
In this legacy, only the names of the two nations and the two kings are passed down to future generations.
Amor king of the kingdom of Gabel, and Demigal king of the kingdom of Mulbud.
The good king Amor's queen was known for her beauty and brilliance, but she did not laugh at all.
King Demigal of the neighboring Mulborough kingdom, who once wanted to attack the richer kingdom of Gabel, demanded this after inviting King Amor to his palace and entertaining him with all his luxury.
Next, I would like to visit your country. In that case, luxurious entertainment is not necessary, only the beautiful smile of the Queen. I can't believe you can't even say that.
King Amor understood the evil intentions of King Demigal.
But that's all I got into trouble.
After all, it's been years since I got married, but I've never even seen the queen smile.
King Amor visited King Demigal without a good idea.
King Demigal, who entered King Amor's palace with a sense of deception, saw the queen with a beautiful smile.
Welcome aboard.
The legend tells the queen, who laughs softly, that King Demigal has returned with great poison.
The Queen's smile saved the country.
Why didn't the queen laugh? And why did you laugh in front of King Demigal?
I didn't pass on any legacy.
However, Curime freely spread his imaginary wings.
Based on this legacy, I wrote my own story.
Raidow as King Amor of the Good Kingdom of Gabel.
Torque as King Demigal of the neighboring mulboard.
These are the only two people who actually have a unique title in history.
All the other performers have their names in their titles.
The non-laughing queen is Leila.
Lilty is the only daughter between King Amor (Reido) and Queen Leila.
Pillman is the minister of the Kingdom of Gabel.
A witch cursed Queen Leila with a smile.
Knight Nelson joins the queen's maid Norish on a witch crusade to save the country's crisis.
Other players are Wallis, the Spirit King, who imposes the challenge of warrior on Knight Nelson in the Witch Forest, and his Spirit Buyers.
Hunter Morgen helps knight Nelson in the woods.
The cursed swordsman Almark, who was under the witch's command, and his dead lover Wendy.
Garaine and Deg, loyal servants of King Demigal (Torque).
Fifteen people, other than Curime, were given their respective roles, and they were to appear in the play.
The story begins with a conversation between the two kings, where Nelson, the knight commanded by King Amor (Reido), and Norish, the queen's maid, go to the Witch's Forest, where Wallis the Spirit King imposes a challenge to defeat the Witch.
Before Nelson, who managed to overcome the challenge with the help of the hunter Morgan, Al Mark, the kingdom's best swordsman, stood up, who became a witch's subordinate by the curse.
With the help of the ghosts of Almark's former lover Wendy, Nelson and the others who left Almark used the power of the Spirit to literally recover the queen's smile from the witch Serrah.
The story ends when Queen Leila laughs and Princess Lilty sings a song dedicated to King Demigal at a banquet with King Demigal (Torque).
"It's kind of illuminating when the titles are with their names."
Norish looks at the script and says.
"Brave knight Nelson. Your endless courage is the pride of the kingdom, the jewel of the glorious underworld. Ugh, it's embarrassing."
"Why, isn't it the best?"
Nelson is motivated, to say the least.
"For peace in the kingdom and unwavering loyalty to King Amor."
After saying that with a firm expression, it makes me seem happy.
"It's so cool. I used to have these real knights."
"You know, except for the king, it's all Curime."
"It could have been there. Don't worry about the water difference."
Nelson frowned.
"This is why women are. I don't know what kind of knight you are."
"I don't know what's good about knights, but what's good about you."
"What!?"
"Well, both of you. Keep it that way."
As Raido gently stopped, Nelson's expression changed.
"Ha, what the king said."
"You're kidding, this guy."
Norrish looked at Nelson with a pulled face.
"It's already working."
"Hahaha, like Nelson."
Reido smiles refreshingly.
"Come on, Norish, if you don't help me, I'll leave you in Nelson."
"Er...."
Norish has a soft face.
"I told you I'd leave it to the script writer."
It was torque that opened my mouth.
"I don't want to complain about anything else, but I think it's quite fractured except for the important dialogue. It's just a bracketed, gentle conversation between the king and his wife. What should I do with this?"
"Yeah."
Curime nodded.
"Well, for example, Nelson and Norrish traveling together had a conversation, but I thought it would be more natural for each of them to make it, except for the important part of the story. Norrish and Nelson are going to be more interesting than I'm going to write about."
Listening to that, Nelson and Norish meet face to face.
Hmm.
The torque nods.
"I see. Is that why they're using their real names?"
"Yeah."
Curime nods.
"Well, you wrote this all by yourself."
Torque shrugs shoulders.
"Until the play, you're the head. I'll do what you say. Hey, Raido."
About King Demigal, Torque calls the other king, Reido.
"Let's talk about this between kings."
"Oh, please soften your hands."
Reido nodded gently.
"... Leila"
It was Lilty who shouted at Leila as she was reading the script.
"Um, I'm Leila's daughter."
"Yeah."
Leila nods.
"Princess Lilty. You sing well, don't you? Perfect for you."
"Uh-huh. Thank you."
Lilty blushes her face and points to the script.
"So, here's a conversation between me and Leila, right? I wanted to talk about it."
Yeah, yeah.
Leila nods gently.
"I guess I'll stop laughing today."
Eh?
I'm kidding.
Leila smiles.
"But when I do, I want to show you something solid. I'm sure you won't really laugh when the show gets closer. Well, I hardly usually laugh."
Well, that's not true.
Lilty said hard.
"I think Leila's been really good lately. Soft and gentle."
"Thank you."
Leila laughed.
"But if you look at this script, the queen in the first conversation doesn't seem to have a very nice atmosphere."
Ah, yeah.
Lilty nodded.
I think so.
"Well, let's think about it together, Lilty. Forgive me for being your bad Leila again."
Leila tightened her expression and Lilty nodded nervously.
"Wendy, this is our last conversation."
"Yeah, I don't know what to say."
Wendy, who peeks into the script, answers Almark's words.
"Curime said earlier that she would leave it to everyone, but she didn't write anything here."
"Yeah."
As he saw Wendy nodding, Almark looked at Culime over there talking to Serrah.
Let's ask Curime.
That's right.
They both stood up and shouted from behind Curime.
"Curime, can I have a moment?"
Looking back, Curime smiled at Almark's face.
"Almark. Thank you, too. Thanks to you, I managed to make a script."
"No, I didn't do anything. It was a wonderful script, as I thought."
After that, Almark opens the script and shows Curime the scene of himself and Wendy.
By the way, I'm here.
Ah.
Curime nodded immediately.
"You two can do whatever you want there."
"Whatever."
When Almark looked confused, Curime looked at them and smiled a little naughty.
"Think about it. What would they say if they were really in this position? I'm sure that's the best."
Almark and Wendy looked at each other in trouble.
