Chapter 104 - Script
“Squirrel Street? That street that was said to be the most dirty and disordered in all of Norland? I hope you’re not messing with us…”
Owl couriers were exceptionally fast. Madam Schroder’s response speed was also unexpectedly fast.
At the time when Joshua was planning to get on a carriage to return to the Hearthstone Tavern, an owl flew onto Joshua’s shoulder with a letter attachment.
As expected, Madam Schroder indicated her doubt in Joshua’s site selection for the movie.
Squirrel Street possessed a bad reputation in Norland. But, the extremely curious mages would frequently come to this street to interact with the non-human races.
Unfortunately, that was not the same for outsiders, especially the nobles from other countries. Majority of them held concern for the non-human races.
Joshua originally thought that Farucci’s Grand Duchess of Blackwood would not hold prejudice toward other races. After all, the House of Blackwood cooperates with the forest elves year-round.
But, it would appear that the bad reputation the Squirrel Street possessed made Madam Schroder unwilling to bring the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe here.
When Madam Schroder saw the cover of the script, she immediately thought the script to bea fairy tale like ‘Beauty and the Demon.’
But, Madam Schroder was hoping for Joshua to write something different… And, after reading it, ‘Léon: The Demon’ came out to be a completely different sort of story, exactly what she wanted.
A hitman, magic drugs, a power struggle between criminal organizations and the dark secrets of the law enforcers…
Those were all words that should not appear on the stage plays filled with art and elegance. But, it was different for this movie. The script for the movie was filled with elements from the dark side of the world.
Using the encounter between a demon hitman and a young girl, this movie could, from a certain point of view, be said to be unmasking the hidden darkness..
