The performance on stage was indeed the legendary tale of King Haris toying with the feudal lords to win Cora's

captivating smile.

The perspective of the performance naturally followed the style of the previous arc.

The actress was an exquisite beauty. Although she had left the entertainment industry for several years, her look

from her working years was mostly restored under artful makeup. She was leaning sorrowfully on the window sill,

her expression was mournful, her eyes full of As Christopher, portraying King Haris, passed by, he seemed quite

troubled and said, "How can | make my concubine smile?"

A treacherous vassal stepped forward with a proposal to stage a grand spectacle of teasing the feudal lords from

all regions, believing that it would surely make her smile.

Upon pondering, King Haris found the idea quite amusing. Consequently, he burst into hearty laughter and

promptly made his decision.

Soon, Cora was led onto a tall platform, looking visibly distressed as King Haris held her and made light

conversation. Her entire demeanor screamed helplessness.

Until the beacon fires blazed, and thousands of horses thundered across the plains, the feudal lords and

generals, with great urgency, hurriedly gathered beneath the high platform, eager to know the enemy's

whereabouts.

However, atop the platform, only King Haris" hearty laughter could be heard. The treacherous vassals

surrounding him joined in the laughter as well.

Cora looked at the scene below, her expression one of stunned disbelief. She didn't know the significance of the

beacon fires, nor had she ever witnessed such a display. All she could sense

was the overwhelming aura from the people below, which was quite terrifying as though something of great

severity had

occurred.

"Darling, I've specially arranged this show for you, why aren't you laughing? Isn't it funny?" King Haris asked.

Cora was filled with panic, seemingly at a loss for the severity of the situation. Faced with King Haris

interrogation and the echoing laughter around her, it seemed inappropriate not to laugh. Thus, she forced a stiff

smile. When the concubine smiled, King Haris naturally felt at ease. However, the feudal lords below suddenly

realized they had been played with. Slost their temper out of embarrassment and questioned the king King

Haris, in his foolishness, said, "To amuse my concubine is your honor."

In an instant, Cora's face turned pale. This was because she saw countless eyes below glared at her unblinkingly

as if she was sunforgivable sinner and deserved a horrible death.

"You actually managed to bewitch the king into doing such absurd things!"

sobbed.
