520 The Opera Celebrity
Selma Payne’s POV:
I tried to wave my hand before Dorothy, but she didn’t react. I immediately understood what was going on.
Cynthia was still a little confused, but she quickly understood. “Is this aunty Dorothy’s prophecy?” she asked.
“I think so.” I nodded and told Cynthia to stay where she was for now. “I don’t know if she’s looking at you or something else, but just to be safe, let’s not move.”
Fortunately, the situation did not last long. After about ten seconds, Dorothy suddenly gasped for breath and fell from the sofa with stiff limbs.
I quickly went up to support her, but her clothes were wet and almost soaked in a cold sweat.
“Photo, photo...” I heard her mutter. “Let me see that photo.”
It was rare for Dorothy to be so weak. I realized something was wrong, so I handed the photo to Dorothy.
After looking at the photo, she suddenly groaned in pain and covered her head. The photo fell from her trembling hands to the ground.
I helped her to the sofa and called the infirmary worriedly.
“What happened?” I asked Dorothy, “Is there a problem with that photo?”
Dorothy lay on a pillow, sickly. Her voice was weak, “The problem is huge... Ever since I’ve mastered the Eye of Insight, I’ve rarely been forced to make prophecies. But it’s different today. I believe that the Goddess of Fate had a reason for forcefully stuffing the information in this photo into my mind.”
“The actress who took the photo with Cynthia, I believe there is something in her that is dangerous. Because I saw death, the shadow of evil power, and a family emblem in her fate – a garland-shaped family emblem composed of thirteen flowers.”
This was indeed bad news, I thought to myself.
An emblem in the shape of a garland. When was the last time I saw them?
In the distant north of the Elf Forest was a city with a long history and famous for its beautiful legends.
However, Garland City was not dangerous in any way, let alone related to evil forces.
So there was only one other possibility left – the servant family of the demon, who also had a garland as a coat of arms.
Dorothy’s description further confirmed my guess. “That family emblem is very strange. It’s similar to the one we saw in Garland City. The leaves on the garland are missing a few pieces as if insects gnawed them off.”
At this point, we looked at each other and knew what was happening.
I thought I’d have a peaceful life on this trip. I couldn’t help but hold my forehead, feeling exhausted from the bottom of my heart.
Dorothy laughed bitterly. “Perhaps we won’t have many peaceful days for the rest of our lives. What’s that saying again? ‘To wear a crown, one must bear the weight’.
Tracy checked and concluded that Dorothy was just a little exhausted. Dorothy was glad she did not have to take many pills. Although a herbologist, she was not very sensitive to medicine.
That night, I sent people to keep an eye on the opera troupe’s actress. I believed that even if she were a family descendant, she would not rashly make a move in the Spring Rain Pack. My forces are everywhere, and the army was outside the city. However, with Adele’s incident, for safety, it was better to pay attention to her movements in case she suddenly made trouble.
The next day, I asked Mara a lot about this actress, but Mara simply thought I was just trying to satisfy Cynthia’s curiosity.
“She’s an old senior in the troupe. Don’t think she’s only a few years older than us, she’s very experienced. Tilly was born into a family of opera singers. She had become the Leading Actress of the Year at the age of five, breaking the record for her age! It was said that she had been receiving family education at home and had rejected even the best music academies in the werewolf pack. Come to think of it, her parents are both famous singers and musicians, why would she need to study in a normal school?
“Although Tilly was famous at a young age, she is humble. She never puts on airs or has any romantic scandals with eligible bachelors. She also treats people like a spring breeze and has a good reputation in the opera house.
“However, Tilly has been on stage less often in recent years. At such a young age, no one knows why she suddenly considered retiring. Even for this tour, if it weren’t for the leader choosing the Spring Rain Pack as the venue, we wouldn’t have been able to get her to take charge.”
Did she only agree to perform because of the Spring Rain Pack?
I sharply noticed some clues and continued to ask, “Does Tilly like the Spring Rain Pack?”
“Of course, she does. Who wouldn’t like this thriving city? Besides, Tilly usually likes to travel. She often travels during her vacation. I heard that she has visited more than half of the werewolves packs.”
It was not a big deal for an opera actor to be fond of traveling. Everyone had their hobbies.
However, if Tilly were a spy, it would be a big problem. Who knew how much information she had left in the places she had been?
