SWNOVELXO Chapter 42.2
“I said it’s a really small role. Isn’t it only about twenty lines? It’s a nuisance to dress up so extravagantly when I’m not even the main character.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Collen laughed warmly. It didn’t suit him.
“You can become the main character at will.”
“…Yes?”
“It’s not difficult if you buy out the original author who wrote the script. There’s nothing that money can’t do.”
Dad, teach me something good already.
Collen commanded Zion without hesitation.
“Start lobbying right away. Make my daughter the protagonist, and if there is a male lead…”
“…”
“Get rid of him.”
There is no other dictator like this in the world. I was speechless.
Fortunately, since the main characters of the play were the seven princesses, there was no male lead role. And because of that, I missed the opportunity to talk about Cedric.
Do I really need to say it? From the reaction now, it doesn’t seem like it would be a good idea to say it.
“This is a historical-based play!”
“Oh yeah? Then it’s even easier. Buy two or three screenwriters and order them to reimagine the story. If you need copyrights, you can buy it…”
“Dad, seriously?”
He said something scary to hear.
“Besides, hiring screenwriters is not allowed as a script supervisor.”
“You’re a script supervisor?”
…I made a mistake.
“As expected, my daughter is a genius.”
I looked at Zion with eyes asking for help.
“What would you say if Duke supported the production of advertising posters? How about sponsorship?”
However, Zion didn’t help.
“Oh, write Leticia’s name the biggest on the poster.”
“It’s really okay! I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. It’s nothing…”
“What do you mean it’s nothing? Isn’t it a big deal, Leticia? It’s your first social activity, of course it’s a big deal.”
I was speechless at his unexpected words.
Oh, is that so?
‘He thinks so meaningfully.’
Thinking that way made my heart feel a little sore. That’s right… No, it’s not.
Don’t get involved with Collen’s business! I raised my head quickly.
“Dad, come see the play.”
“…”
“You’re not embarrassed that I’m a minor supporting role, right, Dad? I’m already satisfied enough, so please come and see my first social activity.”
I grabbed Collen by the hem and begged him with a smile.
He hugged me tightly.
When I came to my senses, I was in Collen’s arms. I looked up at him with a confused expression.
“Then I’ll at least buy flowers.”
“Oh.”
“About ten thousand flowers, all different sorts.”
I raised both hands in a hurry.
“No, it’s a nuisance to bring ten thousand roses. Just one will do.”
Collen breathed a sigh-like breath and smiled.
“You’re so pretty, I could die. Okay, I got it.”
“Oh, by the way, I need a dress. I don’t know about anything else, but I have to prepare my own clothes. I play the role of a princess who likes to wear blue dresses, so I only need one blue dress. I think there was a light blue one that Marianne gave me last time…”
“That won’t work. Let’s get a new one.”
Collen cut me off.
“You can’t wear everyday clothes on stage. As a member of the royal family, everyone will wear their best clothes.”
Hmm, this is quite an expensive extracurricular activity. I felt a little sorryI don’t want to be a wasteful daughter.
“Well, if there is reasonable price. We’re only going to wear it once.”
I’m only going to wear it once.
Collen raised his eyebrows.
“Got it.”
Can I trust him?
