It wasn't until she heard Benny's voice that Roxanne regained her senses and recalled that they were rehearsing.
As for Lucian's actions, it was needed by the script.
Realizing that fact, the apologetic Roxanne smiled at the children. “I'm sorry for spacing out. Please continue.”
After exchanging curious glances, the children obediently agreed.
Meanwhile, Lucian, who was looking at Roxanne, had an epiphany that brought a grim expression to his face.
Feeling guilty to the extent of not daring to look in his direction, Roxanne naturally didn't notice the change in him.
As the rehearsal continued, they had to change their roles.
Roxanne, playing the princess after she was all grown up, did so with much aplomb.
It wasn't until the prince appeared while she was asleep that her frustrations began to build.
Taking on the role of the prince,
Lucian would either be too aloof or not angry enough when he faced Estella.
Naturally, his performance caused Roxanne to worry.
“Mr. Farwell, you'll scare the children this way.”
“Mr. Farwell, you're facing a witch, not Essie. You have to look more fierce.”
Lucian was speechless.
After a few rounds, the tired Estella gave her father a wry look, her face filled with annoyance.
Under his daughter's glare, Lucian couldn't resist feeling helpless about it.
Despite his desire to act well, he was hampered by his inherently calm temperament, making it difficult for him to express the right emotion.
Without saying a word, both father and daughter stood still and glared at each other.
Watching the scene, Roxanne couldn't help but feel amused.
