The two ghosts that were in the candlestick and alarm clock slowly revealed their phantom in the midair.
“Is letting that human live in this castle?….has overstepped the boundary. The duke hates the human race.”
Foch’s tone was full of fear and uneasiness.
These two ghosts have been serving the Skeleton Duke for hundreds of years and were loyal to him.
In the past few hundred years, they have seen too many ignorant humans break into Skeleton Duke’s territory, and in an instant, they would be eaten by the large group of soul eaters leaving without a residue. Even if there were lucky ones, they were eventually transformed into undead creatures, resulting in a fate worse than death.
The ending results of all humans who dared to get close to Skeleton Duke was miserable. And this old lady who was not even a magician, not only entered the castle but also enjoyed a wonderful dinner inside the castle!
If put in the past, this was something they never would have imagined or even thought about it, it was just a rebellious thing.
However, the fact laid in front of their eyes, the Skeleton Duke ‘passionately’ entertained this human.
“This is the order of His Highness. Didn’t you notice that the duke has become happy in these two days after his highness came? The soul fire of the Duke has almost become the shape of the musical note.”
Valor was a violinist in the Skeleton Duke’s orchestra band. Even after he became Skeleton Duke’s servant, he still hasn’t forgotten the knowledge learned while living.
“Moreover, His highness ‘Canon’ is an amazing piece of work. If I were alive, I would really like to go to that distant country to pay a visit to the great composer.”
While they were talking, from the inside castle a soft piano sound echoed, this music was much gentler and softer than compared with the ice-cold gloomy castle.
“Don’t you think these two days the duke has become a little like before?”
As he listened to the music, Valor found that after Joshua’s arrival, the Skeleton Duke had changed a lot.
In the past, the Skeleton Duke was absolutely paranoid in the demon world. He would not allow any living creature to enter his territory, and he himself, if it wasn’t necessary, would never leave his territory, like this he would spend a long time in the castle.
“Before? Indeed, the duke wouldn’t laugh much. I haven’t seen that in decades.”
Foch glanced at his close friend. After so long being his friend, Foch understood what Valor meant by “before”.
“Abominable! If it weren’t’ for those wretched revolution armies. I believe that his royal highness would be attracted to the duke by now.”
“Cough… Valor.” Foch cleared his throat, warning Valor. Although Valor was a ghost, he still felt a chill behind him.
“The words you said a moment ago, if heard by the Duke, it is enough to make you into dog food.”
A childish voice sounded behind them, and they immediately turned and saluted the young shadow.
“Butler.”
Joshua followed the ghost to the hall. The ghost who led the way was second only in the position to the Skeleton Duke in this castle and was the butler of this castle.
The ghost that played the role of teacup previously.
“Thanks, everyone for your cooperation. There are still many unfinished scenes in the film that require everyone to complete.”
Joshua was not good at talking. The programmer always does action rather than more speaking, therefore Joshua just only briefly described the rest of the work to these ghosts living in the castle.
In total, there are twenty-one ghosts who have the right to serve the Skeleton Duke in the castle. Obviously, they were different from those who maintained the ghost form for only one-two years. There were several ghosts in the castle whose age could be traced back to the era prior to humanity.
The twenty-one ghosts were all attached to the objects and used as bodies, this helped Joshua solve another feature in the “Beauty and the Beast” movie, the living furniture.
“As long it is Your Highness desire, order as you please.”
The three ghosts performed a ritual to Joshua who doesn’t know from which country etiquette it came from.
“Now that the task is finished, you guys can go and rest.”
Joshua was just an outsider in this castle and was not qualified to command them, but the strange thing was Joshua didn’t feel any trace of displeasure from these three ghosts.
Was it possible that his identity as the third prince played a role?
Joshua was disinclined to think about it. After watching the three ghosts disappear, Joshua looked at Zenas who was beside him.
This sin demon was dressed in a custom-made suit that concealed his magma like skin and finally gave a prince like temperament.
Just a moment ago, Zenas had completed his first scene, that was, Beast throwing Belle’s father into the prison.
Zenas performed very well, an irritable and uneasy prince who was afraid to communicate with others.
However, currently Zenas felt a little down.
“The lullaby played by the Skeleton Duke has put the merchant into a deep sleep. After she wakes up, she will be well taken care of.”
Joshua knew why Zenas was down.
As a valiant sin demon, Zenas in the village could mercilessly cut off the heads of the bandits, and dye earth with their blood.
However confronting the old powerless lady, just roaring at her and roughly throwing her in the prison made Zenas feel remorse.
Kindness?
This was the last thing needed for the sin demons who were born for killing. It was just the most basic dignity and accomplishment as a strong man. The flame of Zenas was for those who commit sins and for criminals.
“Ino will come to the castle in the afternoon, and when the shooting is finished, the human will be set free. And Zenas, you can go and find some dancing ghosts and learn ballroom dance.”
Joshua was confident that he would be able to finish the filming of “Beauty and the Beast” in a short time.
Generally speaking, the time-consuming part of the film shooting was the NG(No Good) of actors, the arrangement of camera shots, and the special effects in the later stage, etc….
These problems did not exist for Joshua. The actors in the cast were all servants of Skeleton Duke, unlike those villagers who were hard to control.
If the progress was fast Joshua expected to finish the film in a week or so.
After all, “Beauty and the Beast” was only a small part of Joshua’s blueprint, this movie was considered as the stepping stone for Joshua to enter the Human World.
