Chapter 358 - 358 - Bloom

Madam Schroder was prepared to hear questions and concerns from the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe the moment she made the announcement that they'll be filming in the Demon Realm.

Even though the majority of the people from Farucci were not believers of the Nation of the Holy Church's nonsense and Madam Schroder had completely dragged the Nation of the Holy Church to become blacklisted throughout Farucci after the burning of the Blackwood Forest - should a war break out between Farucci and the Nation of the Holy Church, the soldiers belonging to Madam Schroder will definitely become the vanguard in the war - the people of Farucci were still unable to view demons as their friends just because they're viewing the Nation of the Holy Church as their enemies.

Practically all humans considered the Demon Realm to be a dangerous place.

Worst yet, many of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe's female performers were noble young misses. Their families will definitely oppose them proceeding to a forest with magical beasts, much less a forest in the Demon Realm.

This was the only thing Madam Schroder was feeling a headache toward.

"Demon Realm? Madam Schroder, are you talking about the home of that Demon Prince?"

To Madam Schroder's surprise, the noble young misses reacted with… enthusiasm… the moment they heard they were able to go to the 'Demon Realm.'

A relatively petite and small female performer raised her head and asked a question. Her voice was filled with 'excitement.'

She was even jumping up and down the entire time to capture Madam Schroder's attention.

Demon Prince? When Madam Schroder heard that title, she was able to recall who they were inferring to.

"The performer playing the Prince in 'Beauty and the Demon,' Zenarth? Naturally, his home is there, Morna," Madam Schroder answered the girl's question.

"It really is his home! Madam Schroder, we will be able to meet people belonging to the Demon Prince's race in the Demon Realm?" Another girl raised her hand and asked excitedly.

After seeing the light sparkling in the female performer's eyes, Madam Schroder realized why they were so excited.

That is… these young noble ladies' impression of demons had, after that trip to Norland, changed from 'dangerous monsters' to 'soft fluffy creatures.'

"Of course…. There should be a lot of them… in the Demon Realm."

Madam Schroder decided to be considerate and not shatter the dreams of these girls.

Upon receiving Madam Schroder's affirmation, some of the female performers started screaming in excitement.

"I can finally make up for my regret in not being able to touch Mister Zenarth last time!"

"What about Léon?! Will Mister Léon be in the Demon Realm?!"

"No, this wouldn't do! I must quickly return home and tell my tailor to custom-made me a dress for a long journey!"

"What about desserts?!"

Madam Schroder quietly listened as her female performers started gathering together to discuss what they should do after arriving at the Demon Realm.

It seemed as if they've never imagined the Demon Realm to be a place where humans cannot step foot upon. Instead, it was a paradise abundant with flowers and furry cat-like creatures lying on the grasses.

Girls' fantasies were always sugar-sweet., Unfortunately, reality was forever bitter.

An aged performer carefully moved away from the excited girls and walked over to Madam Schroder. With a worried expression, he asked, "Madam Schroder, is this truly alright?"

"The demons of the Demon Realm view humans as enemies. Also, those Sin Demons, if one hasn't seen them roar, it'll be difficult to imagine how terrifying they are."

Turns out, there were quite a few people that managed to keep their rationality.

"Joshua Annerlaude promised to ensure our safety. However, I am uncertain what might happen once we arrive in the Demon Realm. Thus, this time… Old Lek, if you all do not wish to participate in the filming, you all can withdraw from it."

The moment Joshua decided on the Demon Realm as the filming location, Madam Schroder decided that she would not have all the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe proceed there.

The Black Swan Theatrical Troupe could be said to be a microcosm of Farucci's nobles. Madam Schroder had no authority to force these nobles to accompany her to the Demon Realm.

Even though these young noble ladies were all excited right now, their parents will most likely oppose it once they learned that they will be proceeding to the Demon Realm.

"Withdraw? Of course not. Madam Schroder… I am not a coward. Furthermore, I want to stop believing in the lies spread by those Holy Church hypocrites. I wish to see the Demon Realm with my own eyes."

"Old Lek, maybe you can write a 'Demon Realm's Travel Notes' upon your return. After all, Demon Realm is a place very few humans have been to." Another male performer walked over and jabbed the old performer's shoulder with his elbow.

Madam Schroder quietly watched the reaction of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe. Apart from those noble ladies in the state of being poisoned by their cat fantasies, the other performers were, while afraid and cautious of the Demon Realm, were mostly feeling expectant.

To humans, the Demon Realm was a mysterious and danger-filled place. Perhaps a travel notes that could realistically describe the ecology of the Demon Realm would be much more popular than the canons of the Holy Church.

"Everyone," Madam Schroder's voice was heard. The Black Swan Theatrical Troupe's members stopped their spirited discussions to look at her.

"I swear upon my family name that I will guarantee your safety in the Demon Realm. If anyone from your family opposes this journey, you only need to inform me. I will personally go and negotiate with your parents. However, I will not force anyone to take this journey."

After Madam Schroder finished saying these words, she suddenly raised her head to look above the audience gallery. It was unknown when the door had been opened. There were two people standing behind the door.

One of them was Master Morgan. As for the other individual, he was the ruler of this nation, Klund III.

Neither of them showed any intention to interrupt in Madam Schroder's speech. Madam Schroder straightened out her voice and, with a very stern voice, said, "Although we will be proceeding to the Demon Realm to film the movie 'Avatar,' we might be the first human envoy to proceed to the Demon Realm with good-will in mind. Perhaps… we might be the ones tasked with the mission of establishing a good relationship with the Demon Realm!"

Madam Schroder no longer believed in the lies spread by the Nation of the Holy Church. The natural law stating that demons were all merciless and cruel was completely ineffective to her.

At the very least, Joshua and Belle had proved against that law. Madam Schroder had never encountered demons as talented as them before.

After she finished saying this, Madam Schroder looked to Klund III standing above the audience gallery. After she saw his gentle nod of acknowledgement, she continued, "To Farucci, our homeland, the journey to the Demon Realm is extremely significant. Everyone, please make ample preparations.. Apart from being performers, you all held another identity as the representatives of Farucci."
