Chapter 25
The filming of the plotline in the village went smoothly. The only tiny problem Joshua had was during the scene where he played Gaston and confessed his love for Belle.
No matter what Joshua asked of Ynor when it came to his character, he would not dare show any dissatisfaction, but reality was reality, and acting was acting.
Joshua gave Ynor a good time to mentally prepare himself before the succubus rejected his confession.
That was the only part of the whole filming process that ran into a few bumps, otherwise, everything was smoothly shot in a single take.
The next act would be the real essence of “Beauty and the Demon”.

“The target has already exited the village and will arrive at the portal’s location in an hour’s time. Zenarth, get ready. Don’t let the target detect traces of the portal.” Joshua sent a message to Zenarth through the chat window he had created. Belle’s “mother”, Melina had already bid Belle farewell as she left on her carriage to Norland, the City of Magic about ten kilometers away from the village.

The only rune Zenarth possessed appeared on the chat window, telling Joshua that he had received the message.
Before she took a few bites, the teacup on the table suddenly moved.
Melina looked at the teacup in shock as she suddenly realized that there was a human face on it.
“Mama said I shouldn’t move willy-nilly. It could scare you.”
The teacup spoke to Melina with a tender voice.

Melina’s brain went blank for a few seconds. No wonder she did not see any living person in the castle. The castle was alive, and it did not need any living person to tend to it.
“Sorry,” the teacup apologized very sincerely.
“It… It’s okay…”
Melina tried her darndest best to maintain her composure, but… all of the living people in the castle become household wares and furniture? Was the castle cursed?
Soon, all kinds of fearful thoughts filled Melina’s heart, and she resolutely chose to escape the accursed castle.
