Chapter 16: It's hard to accept

Player seats.

Su Xinghe let out a long sigh.

The purpose of writing a separate article about Callista is actually to add more details.

I looked at the time and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

This also means that there are only two hours left in today's game.

Next story.

That's when Kalista set out to find the Blessed Islands.

Before that, of course.

We need to highlight the theme again.

"On the eve of Kalista's departure, Viego summoned her lieutenant, Ledros."

"He believed that the assassination was caused by a traitor among the royal nobles, so he wanted to promote a person with no background but ability to protect him."

"And Ledros, who cut off the head of King Santoras and was born a commoner, is the best candidate."

"Although Hecarim and the other nobles strongly opposed it, Viego stood firm against all odds."

“I knighted Ledros on the spot and granted him a fiefdom.”

"Appoint him as the chief great swordsman under the throne and serve as the royal guard."

“Ledros became a noble overnight, which gave him the courage to finally express his feelings to Kalista.”

In the early hours of the morning, the night outside the window was dark and starry.

Kalista couldn't sleep, and at dawn, she would set out for the Sea of ​​Eternal Scars.

She lay flat on her back on the bed, her mind in a turmoil.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She hesitated for a moment, got out of bed, walked to the door, and gently opened it.

A tall, hooded figure came into view.

It was Ledros.

Callista hurriedly pulled him into the room and closed the door.

The room was silent, with only the sound of their heartbeats echoing.

Ledros pulled out an exquisite silver necklace from his pocket. Under the dim light, it sparkled with a unique luster.

"Carly, I don't expect much from you. But this, I either give it to you now, or... throw it off the dock."

On the necklace pendant, two roses are lifelike, and the stems and leaves of wild roses are intertwined, like a pair of affectionate lovers.

This was Ledros's expression of love.

Kalista looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that due to his status and position, Ledros had never dared to confess his feelings to her.

The relationship between them has always maintained a delicate state: starting from emotion and ending with courtesy.

For Ledros, who had just been made a noble, this might be his only chance to muster up the courage to reveal his true feelings to himself.

Kalista choked up for a moment, with countless thoughts struggling in her heart, but in the end, reason overcame emotion, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

She looked at Ledros with a look of distress and apology: "I am already engaged."

Hear the response.

Ledros nodded silently, his eyes revealing an imperceptible sense of loss and helplessness.

He laughed at himself, "I know, it's an impossible dream, it looks like it would be suitable to go to the bottom of the pier."

Ledros tried to hide his inner embarrassment and sadness with a wry smile, but the regret and reluctance in his eyes betrayed him.

Then, he grasped the necklace pendant tightly in his palm with his scarred hands, trying to make it disappear.

Seeing this scene, Kalista felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped and twisted by an invisible hand.

At this moment, her heart was almost broken.

She knew her choice would hurt Ledros, but she could do nothing about it.

Ledros's lonely back was about to disappear at the door. In her struggle and pain, she chased after him and gave him a loving hug from behind. "Ledros, everything will be fine."

"I hope so."

Outside.

Ledros stood quietly, the edges of his robes rustling in the breeze.

He slowly raised his head and pulled up his hood to cover his shaved head with old scars, then disappeared silently into the night.

In the darkness of the distant corridor, Hecarim's figure loomed.

Seeing Ledros coming out of Kalista's room, he clenched his fists secretly.

"I seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart."

"I heard it too."

“There’s more than one.”

"I feel sorry for Ledros. He's been made a noble, but he still can't change anything."

"It's so hard for Sister Ka. I can't imagine how painful it was for her when she rejected the big guy."

"Brothers, this is the real hardship."

"I cried, and it was just like the time when my first love cruelly rejected my confession to her: You are a good person, but I already have someone in my heart."

"Can you compare with them? After all, they love each other, and you are unrequited love, right?"

"Pfft, stop being so discouraging, okay? You're stabbing me in the heart."

"I also saw, Hecarim, a green meadow above his head."

"It's just right. Two infatuated and heartbroken characters. I feel like Su Dada is going to be deified."

Jury seat.

After watching for such a long time, the four judges rarely spoke and remained silent.

It's not that I have nothing to say.

Instead, he always hesitated to speak.

Because they could never guess where Su Xinghe would write the next line of text.

Originally, the love between Viego and Isolde was enough to fully present the theme.

But he also gave a more delicate description of the complex relationship between Kalista, Ledros, and Hecarim.

"At first, I thought he was writing a story about Viego with a single male protagonist, but I never expected that he was writing a story about a group of people."

Chen Kaige was more and more surprised at Su Xinghe's performance and couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

For some reason, he always had an illusion when he saw the calm and handsome face on the stage.

Is this really a sophomore?

With a plan in mind, write down your thoughts and write a book.

And most importantly, the quality of creation remains at a very high level.

Are you sure it's not Wenquxing who has descended to earth? Or is it some old literary monster who has possessed him?
"Group portrait writing is very difficult. It is easy to create a protagonist, but if you want to write multiple characters with distinctive features, it is impossible to write well unless you have a solid foundation," Liu Ciping added.

"In fact, at the very beginning, he showed his best character creation skills, didn't he?" Mr. Jin smiled.

As the founder of martial arts ensemble literature, he naturally has a deep understanding of the difficulty of creating multiple protagonists.

In his eyes, as long as Su Xinghe can portray the character to a good level or above, he will definitely be able to outperform other contestants in this round of competition.

"Mr. Jin is right."

Liu Ciping nodded undeniably, looked at the big screen, and continued to comment:
"So far, Su Xinghe's performance is pretty average. It's not bad, but there aren't any big highlights. I think it's at a good level."

"However, the most outstanding thing about this contestant is his character creation. I believe everyone can feel that every character he creates has a soul."

“Overall, the story is neatly told, the monologues are plain and moving, the emotional descriptions are vivid and delicate, and the plot is very graphic.”

“Except for the wonderful plot, it is almost impeccable.”

“If the subsequent stories can maintain this level, I can give it a very high rating.”
