Chapter 139: Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Later on in the movie, the scenes of Léon and Mathilda living together allowed Kaos to regain the feeling he had when watching ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ If described using the earth’s vocabulary, then Kaos was ‘feeling so sweet that (s)he retrieved the maiden’s heart (s)he tossed away years back.’

That was the main reason why Kaos was attracted by ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ As a prince from the Nation of Steel, he had too many heavy burdens in his life suppressing him and rendering him unable to breathe.

‘Beauty and the Demon’ created a beautiful world for him. Kaos once again found that sensation in this movie.

This warm and comfortable section of the story made Kaos forget about all his previous uneasy guesses. Maybe this movie will have a happy ending?

But, the ending of the movie once again confirmed the principle of ‘a movie doesn’t make the audience want to send razor blades to the director is not a good movie.’ When the law enforcers came to suppress Léon, it was certain that this demon hitman was doomed.

Having watched till this point, General Fred was no longer sleepy. When he received invitations from Farucci’s nobles to watch stage plays, he would always fall asleep within two or three minutes.

The reason for that was because he felt the performances in stage plays were simply too fake.

If it was two knights holding swords and wearing armors dueling on the stage, General Fred would most definitely enjoy the show and even applaud them.

But, the movie ‘Léon: The Demon’ had completely topped General Fred’s understanding toward ‘performances.’

What he was seeing was not a fictional story at all. It was so much that he firmly believed that demon hitman Léon exists.

Living all alone in a small apartment hotel on the Squirrel Street and accompanied by only a potted plant. Even though that man was an exceptional killer, he was patient enough to fold clothes properly and would drink an entire cup of milk every day. All by himself, he would go to a small theater on the Squirrel Street and watch an awkward stage play performance.

All of this had, undoubtedly, topped General Fred’s impression of the stage plays characters that would put makeup all over their faces and speak in an effeminate manner.

Léon was an actual demon, a living demon of blood and flesh. But, he was not the sort of despicable and deranged refrain promoted by the Holy Church!

That being said, what gave General Fred the greatest enjoyment would be the movie’s fighting scenes. The degree of excitement in the confrontation between magic guns in the movie were definitely not inferior to the Nation of Steel’s arena’s duels where champion knights would battle each other with their lives on the line.

A scene overflowing with blood was far more real than those stage plays where no blood would shed from the dead.

But, no matter how marvelous a movie it might be, it will inevitably come to an end.

When the demon was completely surrounded by an army of law enforcers, he disguised himself as a law enforcer and was about to escape from the apartment hotel. At that time, General Fred had some hope that he would be able to escape.

Regretfully, ever since Mathilda encountered Léon, this movie was destined to end with a tragedy.

When Léon staggeringly walked out from the apartment hotel, the longing for the outside world emerged in his eyes. There was even a little girl waiting for him outside.

Because of that, all the audiences thought that he had successfully escaped and was planning to abandon his former career to live an ordinary life with the main female lead. Even Kaos was thinking that way.

But, at that moment, the movie’s villain Stansfield discovered Léon right when he was about to walk out. He followed after Léon and then took out his weapon, aimed at Leon and shot forth an impaling magic attack.

At that moment, the scene cutted to Leon’s first person point of view. He swayed slightly and then lost all strength and fell onto the ground.

He was so close to that new world. He only needed to take another step forward to return to the little girl’s side. But, in the end, he collapsed onto a puddle of blood and could only stare powerlessly as the outside.

“This...”

Kaos had the desire to drag out the law enforcer by the name of Stansfield from the movie and teach him a lesson. Even though he admitted that this villain had a special sort of charm, he still felt like he needed to beat him up.

When the demon hitman said his final line and revealed his ring pull trick, explosions filled the entire scene.

As General Fred watched the explosions on the screen, his mouth opened and closed. He seemed to want to say something but was unable to do so.

Kaos who has not cried during any of the scenes of this movie, Kaos who made sure to maintain the image of a man even when watching ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ was instantly crying at this scene.

He didn’t know why he was crying. He was unable to stop the tears coming out from his eyes. The young noble girl seated next to him had already taken out her handkerchief and was wiping her tears and openly sobbing.

“Kaos! What did I teach you?! Once you leave the country of Bismarck, the only liquid that’s allowed to flow out from your eyes is blood!”

It has been a long time since General Fred saw his student shedding non-stop tears. Ever since he completed the Nation of Steel’s tempering trails at the age of ten, Kaos has erased all cowardly emotions from his core.

Kaos chose to keep quiet. The reason for that was because the movie still hasn’t ended yet.

The movie continued until the main female lead Mathilda carried the potted plant, the potted plant grown by Léon, and slowly buried it onto the ground as if in substitute for Léon’s actual body.

“I think we’ll be okay here, Léon.”

Once she said those words, the ending song ‘Shape Of My Heart’ started playing.

General Fred’s ice-cold expression wavered slightly. In the end, he closed his eyes with endless regret.

It was only at this moment that Kaos noticed a drop of tear rolling down General Fred’s aged face.

He would never expect for this generation with the title of Iron-blood to actually shed a tear from watching a performance.

The song ‘Shape Of My Heart’ began to reverberate through the performance hall. A sorrowful atmosphere filled the entire performance hall. It was not only the young noble girl seated beside Kaos who was sobbing spasmodically. There were barely anyone among the audience that were able to contain themselves from shedding tears.

When the ending credits started rolling, the list of actors began to gradually appear on the screen.

The light in the performance hall turned back on. Practically all the audience stood up from their seats...

When the applause stopped, a scream suddenly sounded from among the audience.

“Stansfield! Why are you still alive?!”

The person that screamed was a little girl who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen. She was very fortunate to be seated next to Sir Weissenasche in charge of playing the villain Stansfield.

Sir Weissenasche just so happened to be wearing the same attire as his movie character because he heard that all the actors and actresses will get on stage to make a speech after the movie.

It seemed like the little girl seated next to him was too absorbed into the movie. Or perhaps this movie was simply too realistic. The little girl actually started reciting a magic spell from the God of Lightning and Punishment, Karshilov.

Juding from the magic fluctations, that spell of hers was quite strong too.

“Young miss, that... is only a movie!”

Sir Weissenasche was immediately stunned. He suddenly recalled what Joshua warned him before they started filming the movie.

“Once you’ve played that character, you need to make sure to watch yourself when walking on the street at night.”
