The demon filled with wounds finally fell in Belle’s arms. Belle put her slender hands on the demon’s strong shoulder, and tears kept falling from her eyes.
The demon used his last strength in his body, raised his sharp claws, and gently wiped tears from Belle’s eyes. Then he closed his eyes and left the world forever. Belle fell on Demon’s chest and kept on crying.
At the moment, the camera raised all the way to the sky and recorded the castle. A ray of light appeared from the distant mountain. The sun was rising from there and its rays shined on the whole castle.
“Cut! Wrap!”
Joshua, the director climbed out of the nearby precipice. In this scene, Zenas, the demon, used his remaining strength to throw Gaston off the precipice beside the castle.
Joshua also took a special close up of himself falling from the precipice.
When the dead demon heard Joshua say ‘cut’, he opened his eyes and immediately stood up from the ground and started cleaning bloodstains on his body.
These blood were provided by the friendly Skeleton Duke, the blood of the Sin demon was not red like human beings.
Ino wiped the tears from her eyes, patted the skirt to remove the dust, and then looked at Joshua.
“Congratulations! You guys perfectly completed the shooting of the first movie in the world.”
Joshua reached out to the twelve banshee’s and in turns, they started handing over the recorded images to Joshua. This was the final part of the “Beauty and the Demon” and the rest was for Joshua to edit these scenes, plus add the opening title and ending credit in the “Beauty and the Demon” and with that, the movie production would officially be declared completed.
“Your highness, what is your next order?”
Zenas hadn’t yet realized what a great thing he had done. He just followed Joshua’s order and did his performance.
“Nothing for the moment, Zenas. You go back to the castle and hide, and be careful not to be seen by those humans.”, said Joshua.
“As your orders.”
The Sin demon returned to the castle, and now only Joshua and Ino were left in the scene.
Ino didn’t feel any joy at finishing the movie. Her hand kept fiddling with the hem of her skirt as if there was something in her heart but didn’t dare to tell Joshua.
“Ino, you come with me.”
Joshua saw through the thoughts of the succubus, and didn’t make too many arrangements and just gave an order before heading to the other side of the castle.
Ino followed Joshua with an uneasy heart… The thoughts in her heart were very complicated, and it wasn’t until the last Ino found that Joshua had brought her to the gate of the castle.
When Joshua pushed the gates, the villagers outside saw Belle standing unharmed and everyone cheered.
“Belle… Are you okay?”Marina looked excitedly at the belle standing next to Gaston and wanted to go forward and hug her.
However, Ino took a step back in fear, as she was no longer Belle; the beautiful, kind-hearted human girl who was popular with the villagers and who cared about her adoptive mother.
This beautiful story has already ended a moment ago. Now her identity was Ino, an inferior succubus…the reason Ino was able to live in the low level of the demon kingdom was she understood and faced her identity, and she clearly knows what doesn’t belong to her.
However, at this moment, Joshua pulled Ino’s arm and gave her a gentle push on the back.
“Ms. Marina is worried about you. Quickly go.”
“But your highness, i…am not…” Eno wanted to tell her thoughts but was interrupted by Joshua.
“Indeed, you are not Belle, and your name is Ino. So, you must tell your real name to Ms marina, and of course, identity can be kept secret.”
“She won’t accept….”
Ino shook her head and her body slightly trembled.
Joshua knew how deadly Marina’s love was to Ino. This succubus has lived in the low level of the demon world for so many years and has suffered too much pain. Perhaps, Marina was the first person to care for her.
“Do you think Ms. Marina will hate you for such a trivial thing?” Joshua said.
Joshua’s words slightly stunned Ino and seemed to inject some strength into Ino’s wavering heart. She began to walk towards Marina, and finally, in the cheers of the villagers, Ino and Marina hugged each other.
The moment when she was held by Marina, Ino’s nose was a little sour, and tears once again overflowed from her eyes. And this time’s tears were not the fake tears that were shed for acting.
Joshua watched this scene, perhaps this was the true happy ending for Ino.
“It is ironic.”
Ciri stood amid the villagers who had rushed into the castle to ‘rescue Belle’, watching them cheering for their victory, she couldn’t help but utter these words.
“However, this is a happy ending for them, isn’t it? The demon was an evil creature who kidnapped Belle, and they saved Belle from this evil creature. Justice has prevailed over evil, perhaps this story will continue to spread in this small village.”
Joshua came to Ciri’s side as Gaston and said.
“……..”
Ciri didn’t speak, she was present the whole time the movie was shooting. She knew the truth and knew how ridiculous the cheers of these people were.
“Everyone! Listen to me! When the beast died, he cursed the castle. Anyone who steps into the castle would be haunted by dead spirits.”
Joshua didn’t continue to argue with Ciri and began to persuade the villagers to leave.
Although Skeleton Duke agreed with Joshua to let these lowly humans ‘pass by’ in her castle, if these humans dared to continue to stay in her castle after shooting and or even tried to steal, then the Skeleton would not be merciful to these humans.
In fact, if Joshua hadn’t dissuaded, these villagers had planned to take things in the castle for themselves.
Defeating the dragon should get the treasures of the dragon. This was a common saying in the human world.
These villagers were a group of dedicated mass actors, Joshua couldn’t throw them to feed the evil spirit after their performance.
After defeating the beast, Gaston has become the absolute authoritative figure among the villagers. They listened to his warning, and the castle was indeed becoming haunted.
Driven by the most primitive fear, they chose to flee from the castle.
“Mr.gaston…” Marina wanted to thank Joshua, who had, after all, saved her adopted daughter.
“Please call me Joshua. Gaston was just an… alias, Ms. Marina, please leave this place, and I’ll follow you later.”
As Joshua said this, a terrible howl came from inside the castle, and the sky suddenly became gloomy, which made Marina realize that danger in the castle was far from finished.
“I understood Mr.Joshua.”
Marina nodded, then pulled Ino and followed the villagers to leave this castle.
“The rest is post-processing” Joshua took out the source crystal stone and looked at it carefully.
This was the first source crystal bearing the cultural crystallization from the earth.
