[The Silmarillion] Romimus

"She's late again?" Naquili walked into the rehearsal hall, glanced around and lowered her face, "How many times is this?"

"You mean Romimos? No, she left early this time." Vespa folded her arms and replied dissatisfied.

"Gone?" Naquili looked at the wall clock on the wall and raised her voice, "It's been just over an hour, and she left?!"

"I think I'm capable." Vesper muttered in a strange voice on the side, "I don't have to choose my appearance, and I have a good voice, so it's no wonder that my heart is full of arrogance. I'm afraid even you and Chief Ocanom Didn't pay attention either."

Naquili's face was very ugly: "Go and call her over."

Romemos came very quickly, but she didn't show any anxiety or guilt. No matter how fast her feet moved, she would always look graceful and at ease. She walked in with the music in the hall. , like a princess coming here, even with a noble and alienated smile on her face.

What Vespa hated the most was the way this man looked like. He was clearly a captive. Even if he had been honored before, that was a thing of the past. Who would show such aloofness now?

"Miss Naquili, are you looking for me?" Romimos asked.

"Are you really not understanding, or are you just pretending to be confused here?" Naquili asked, her voice was not loud, but she was not angry, and the surroundings immediately became quiet, "You know that in half a month or so Is it time for us to officially perform?"

"Of course, I remember the day of Lichun very clearly." Romimos replied.

Naquili was so angry that her hands trembled a little: "Listen to me, Romemos. I don't care if you were sent here by His Majesty's own orders. If you dare to treat all of our hard work as a joke, I will dare Get you out of the Arlando Opera House!"

"Miss Naquili is serious, of course I don't dare." Romemos's eyes remained calm, but he turned his head slightly to look at Vespa, "It's just that Vespa told me that our rehearsal time here is not There are no hard and fast requirements, as long as the requirements can be met, isn’t it?”

Vespa choked for a moment, but she didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to her side, but she quickly retorted sharply: "That's what I said, but there are so many of us, which one is not striving for excellence, repeatedly Repeatedly sculpting every word and every sentence over and over again, just like this, I still feel that my performance is not perfect, and your requirements for yourself are not high."

"You can't be perfect because you're not me." Romimos said, taking it for granted.

"Whether you meet the requirements or not, I think it's up to me." Naquili said with a gloomy face.

"That's right." Romimos smiled, "Then you mean, if I can satisfy you, this matter will be over, right?"

Naquili hesitated for a moment, and for a moment, she was shocked by the confidence shown by Romemos - if it was the person in front of her, it might not be surprising that she could do anything, but her self-esteem prevented her She showed weakness at this time.

"You sing first and then talk." She turned around and found a chair to sit down in order to hide her guilt.

The acting script this time is actually very routine, routine to the point that Romimos finds it boring.In a simple summary, this is a routine performance that is clearly dedicated to praising Falazon. The story of victory and return is so old-fashioned that Romemos wants to roll his eyes.

And the only two really important people in this play, one is naturally the "invincible, majestic, and destined to be" Emperor Farathon, and the other is "vulnerable and evil" in front of this golden emperor. The villain Sauron, who is "hateful and obscene", and the titular heroine Romimos plays the role of Queen Miriel of Farathon. If you think about it with your toes, you will know that it doesn't matter whether it exists in the play or not. From the beginning to the end, he sang a song to pray for his husband before Farathon left, and sang another song to express his inner pride and joy when Farathon returned, and that was all.

Romemos was very puzzled, just asking her to sing a role that she didn't even want to sing, is it worth Vespa's crying over it?

In short, the entire script, from the development of the plot to the character of the characters, in the eyes of Romemos, is an old-fashioned configuration that makes people want to yawn, including the music part. Romemos does not want to be so direct, but in Valinor At that time, she almost vomited from all kinds of hymns to Vera, and none of them were better than these two songs by Naqueri.

Alas, comparing gods with people, she is probably a bit of a bully.

So it was expected that after Romemos sang easily, Naquili sat motionless on the seat with a stiff expression and said nothing.

"Does Miss Naquili have any advice?" Romemos asked, "If not, can I go now?"

Naquili's lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.Romemos's singing is just like what she said, no flaws can be found in both voice and technique, even the most inconspicuous and easy to be missed, it is also performed exactly, perfect like It's a human, but it's like a music-reading machine.

So Romemos shrugged, just like she came, and left calmly, and everyone including Vespa watched her with gaping eyes-this was the first thing that could annoy Naquili The warrior who retreated unscathed after the lady.

Naquili sat there for a while, with mixed emotions in her heart. On the one hand, she should be surprised and gratified by such a good seedling who seemed to be a pie that fell from the sky. It makes people itch.

But Naquili is an upright and fair person after all, she can be angry when she is angry, she can't take it easy on Romimos because she behaved too well, after calming down, she stood up and told others: " Go and inform Ilfarin that we can start formal rehearsals tomorrow."

Il Farin, the ace of the Arlando Opera House, is also the leading man of the show.

Judging by human standards, Ilfarin is tall and handsome, with lush golden curly hair favored by Romimos, and gray-blue eyes like sea water in a foggy sky, but after leaving aside the appearance , the rest of him will find it difficult to please Romimos, no matter his eyes or movements, every move is the words "I am the only one".

This attitude only improved a little when he saw Romemos, even though they had never met before, but it was obvious that if someone casually said, "She is the most beautiful woman of all", no one would Can mistake Romimos.

After their eyes met, Ilfarin strode towards Romimos, stopped when there was only an arm's length between them, and then stretched out his hand to Romimos.

Romemos thought it was a handshake, and although he was a bit confused, he still responded. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Ilfarin suddenly withdrew his hand, and only Romemos' arm stayed in the air in embarrassment. middle.

Is this person trying to find fault on purpose?

Romemos narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn't expect Ilfarin to attack first: "When your husband reaches out to you, is that how you shake hands with him?"

Romemos was a little slow to realize that what the other party meant was that their two characters—Falazon and Miriel—were a couple.

It took her a second to judge whether the person in front of her was a fool or a hooligan, and finally decided to hold back for the time being and not to attack.

"I thought I was Queen Miriel only after the play began," said Romimus.

"Are you saying that you can instantly become a completely different person from yourself at that moment, and then change back to yourself immediately after the scene is over?" asked Ilfarin, who was taller than Romimoth, but only the eyeballs were in his eyes. Looking down, the chin is still raised, and the voice is majestic, "Maybe you can, I have heard some rumors after you came, I hope I will not be disappointed in a while."

After he finished speaking on his own, he didn't even look at Romemos, and walked away with his head held high, leaving Romimos standing there stunned.

I'm afraid this person has something wrong with his brain, right?

"Hey, that's Ilfarin. He's a bit too serious, but he's not bad in nature." Okanom was also at the scene today, and after seeing this scene, he hurried over to smooth things over.

"Has he always been like this?" asked Romemus.

"Most of the time." Okanomu sighed, "It's a way for him to get into the character, to be that person completely during this time."

Romemos turned his head and glanced at Ilfarin again. Don't tell me, the energy that makes people want to punch him in the nose is exactly the same as Farazon.

But Romemos still couldn't understand, and even thought this move was very funny.

"It's just acting." She turned around and said.

"It's also all about some people. It's not without reason that Ilfarin can become the pillar of our Arlando Opera House." Okanom said, "I heard from Naquili that you have performed quite well these days, but many Humans are not geniuses like you."

Before Romemos had time to answer, Naquili called her backstage.

"Romimos, come here, it's your turn to change!"

"Let's talk later." Okanom reached out and patted Romimos' elbow briskly, "Come on later."

Romemos stood there, while patiently letting those people apply all kinds of blush and lipstick on her face, and on the other hand, she listened absently to Naqueri explaining the position on the stage with one ear.

Really, so boring, she thought.

"Remember?" Naquili asked.

"Remember." Romimos replied.

Naquili was actually quite skeptical, but she had learned wisely not to question Romemos to her face before she saw Romemos do things beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

"Then, it's up to you now." She adjusted her facial expression and encouraged Romemus, "Let's open our eyes."

As expected, it was another impeccable performance. At the end of the song, Okanomu took the lead and applauded vigorously.

Romemus had thought it was another easy day.

"Do it again," said Ilfarin, who was the only one present with a blank expression, as if completely unimpressed.

All around fell silent, and Romemos was silent for a short moment, and followed her advice. Anyway, her total playing time did not exceed 10 minutes.

Every note is still perfect, and all the movements and lines are as precise as if they were completely reproduced from the script.

"Do it again." Ilfarin didn't even lift his eyelids.

Romemos took a deep breath and sang for the third time.

Ilfarin sighed: "Take a break for 10 minutes and continue later."

There are only three things, even if Romimos has settled down a lot in order to cooperate with Sauron's plan, it doesn't mean that she can bear being played by a mortal.

"Sorry, I don't have any other meaning." Romemos asked as gently as possible, "But I want to ask, is there something I can't sing well?"

Ilfarin glanced at her out of the corner of her eye: "No, you can sing well, and you can pass Miss Naquili's level already shows that."

"That is to say, you admit that you deliberately made things difficult for me?" Romimos asked bluntly.

"No," said Ilfarin, "but singing and acting are not quite the same thing, Miss Romemus. We are not performing pure opera."

Romemos pondered for a moment: "So my performance is not satisfactory enough for you?"

"Yes."

"where?"

"I'm not satisfied anywhere." Ilfarin replied. He sat on the ordinary wooden chair under him, but his momentum seemed to be sitting on a throne, and he pointed out the country to Romimos, "Your acting is too bad. gone."
