Chapter 282: Chapter 282 It Wants to Protect the Princess Chapter 282: Chapter 282 It Wants to Protect the Princess The tone of Princess Ariel’s voice was soft and negotiable, coupled with her innocent little appearance, making everyone on the filming set feel a chill in their hearts. Soon enough, everyone held their breath. The plot involving the abuse of the female lead appeared, possibly triggering protection from the Big Ghost. Everyone focused intently, waiting. In front of the camera, after hearing what Princess Ariel said, the two guards immediately released the unconscious palace maid and walked toward Ianthe Lawson. Ianthe Lawson appropriately showed a nervous expression. Then, the guards, Amber and Evander, one on each side, pinned her arms and pushed her toward the tree from a moment ago. Even knowing this was just acting, the two made a show of exerting force. Ianthe Lawson instinctively closed her eyes. However, this scene did not encounter any hindrance. Amber and Evander directly slammed her into the thick tree trunk. The audience in the live broadcast room was somewhat disappointed. Wasn’t it said that the abuse of the female lead would trigger the Big Ghost’s protection? Could it be that the other party knew it was an external staff member invited by the crew? Even though nothing unusual occurred, this part of the plot still had to continue. After the makeup artist quickly added a forehead injury makeup to Ianthe Lawson, the two acting as guards prepared to lift her and run into the tree again. But this time, according to the script, the old Emperor would appear to stop it. “Stop!” Accompanied by the actor playing the male lead, the actor portraying the old Emperor appeared, walking quickly towards them with a stern face. He first glanced at Ianthe Lawson’s injury on her forehead, then looked at Ariel, who played the Princess, his expression a mix of anger and helplessness as he approached, about to scold his daughter, the Princess. At that moment, the unexpected happened when everyone thought no variations would occur. Before the old Emperor could get close to the Princess, tiles suddenly fell from the nearby pavilion, aiming for the Emperor’s head. The incident happened so abruptly that neither Ariel nor the old Emperor had time to react. Evander, however, sharply sensed something wrong, and amidst choosing between taking action and saving someone, he first chose to save someone. If that veteran actor were injured, it would cause a major problem. You could see him swiftly rush toward the old Emperor, moving him away from the dangerous spot. By this time, Ariel had finally reacted, quickly pulling out the Soul Stabilizing Talisman given by Scarlett. “Red light beyond, the fate of Nine Provinces, walk Talisman capturing record, fix soul intimidate spirit, fix!” As she quickly chanted the incantation, the Soul Stabilizing Talisman in her hand flew into the air. The Talisman seemed to be drawn by a force, flying directly into the sky. However, it only paused momentarily in the air before floating down gently. Ariel’s expression fell, “Did it, did it fail?” The surrounding staff were also a bit disappointed; they had heard why this team was hired. Was this the result? Someone nearby quietly clicked their tongue, thinking you can’t rely on these people after all. Amber, hearing the quiet discussions around, worried that Ariel’s first attempt might be ridiculed, quickly spoke up to smooth things over, “Perhaps it was just an accident, not its appearance. If the Talisman can’t catch the Ghost Energy, isn’t that just a failure?” “Yes, that should be the case,” someone from the program team echoed. No one was allowed to mock their guest! Over there, Director Xu looked at the footage with furrowed brows. When Ariel deftly threw the Talisman, he had a moment of hope. Indeed, it wasn’t so easy. The audience in the live broadcast room, however, had no scruples. [Ariel’s chanting was very imposing, but this kind of thing depends on talent.] [It was already impressive that she was the first to react! Is it necessary to be so sarcastic?] [I think it might be as Amber said, it was just an accident?] [What accident, in this crew all accidents are caused by Ghosts!] [But when Little Fish was dragged to hit the tree earlier, nothing appeared; the old Emperor just showed up and hadn’t done anything, so it’s even less likely to target him.] [So is this really an accident this time?] Just when many in the live broadcast room and on-site began leaning towards Amber’s words, believing that it was just an accident, Scarlett Jennings and Sebastian Carew, who were delayed by makeup, finally arrived late. “It wasn’t an accident.” Her voice, naturally clear and recognizable, led everyone to follow it even before they saw her. The program team’s camera crew finally belatedly turned the camera towards the source of the voice. Upon seeing Scarlett Jennings’ outfit, everyone instinctively held their breath. Scarlett Jennings’ look wasn’t complex; it was actually quite simple. A white robe, light and elegant, her waist slender yet adorned with white plumes. As she moved, the white feathers on her skirt swayed gently. Elegant yet lively at the same time. Just like Scarlett Jennings before them. Her makeup was light, yet it enhanced her already delicate features, making her look even more ethereal. Her hair reached her waist, flowing like a black satin curtain down her back. The extreme black against the extreme white, at first glance, resembled someone walking out of a landscape ink painting, with only the touch of red on her lips revealing a bit of enchanting reality. Just the look alone was enough to leave a deep impression. They couldn’t guess what role such a dressed person would play. Rather than a noble Princess, she seemed more like a saintly presence. Their speculation wasn’t groundless, mainly because behind her, Sebastian Carew followed in a black suit, dressed as a guard. The two, one in black and the other in white, one graceful and holy, the other cool and matchless, merely standing there gave a sense of stepping into a painting. Once everyone finally snapped back from their appearances, Scarlett Jennings led Sebastian Carew to the forefront of the filming site. Only then did the crowd remember what she had just said. [“Not an accident.”] “Earlier, there was indeed a slight appearance of Ghost Energy here, but it vanished just a moment too late. I guess the opponent hid the Ghost Energy the instant they saw the Soul Stabilizing Talisman and left.” The reason Scarlett Jennings said so was that she sensed a clear strand of Ghost Energy when she approached. She just couldn’t catch up despite her haste. Over there, Ariel wasn’t sure if she should be happy or disappointed hearing she hadn’t erred, while Ianthe Lawson, standing by, expressed confusion, “But why?” According to their original guesses, the Big Ghost should appear when the Princess dealt with the female lead. But until she was forced to “hit the tree,” the Big Ghost showed no reaction; instead, it almost struck when the old Emperor showed up to save her. It didn’t make sense. Was triggering Big Ghost protection delayed? Quite a few there shared Ianthe Lawson’s lack of understanding; Scarlett Jennings merely glanced at Ariel, then at the veteran actor who played the old Emperor on the ground, and finally said, “Because this time, it wanted to protect the Princess.” The Princess who was forced into a political marriage.
