Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

He's a phantom thief.

Luna smiled and said, "She's an actress!"

"what about me?"

"Aren't you the owner of the Rose Thorn Society?"

Navia quickly said, "That's true, but that's not what I meant. Um, aren't we partners?"

"...Could it be that I acted on my own initiative?"

Navia's expression lost its luster. She leaned back in her chair, looking like a wealthy heiress who had fallen on hard times overnight, her words filled with disappointment and loneliness.

Does that mean Luna never felt happy partnering with her?

Luna looked away.

"People who get too close to me rarely end up well."

"Huh? What does this mean...?"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Young Miss, we're back."

Silver opened the door, but Navia was not greeted by Silver and Miles alone.

There was another familiar figure standing behind them.

She immediately squeezed out from between the two of them and enthusiastically picked up the photo camera.

"I'm Charlotte, a reporter from Steambird News! May I interview Miss Luna?"

33: I will steal your treasure (pointing to your heart)

Charlotte, a reporter for Steambird, may not be the fastest runner.

But it must be the most elusive one.

It seems that no matter where there's news, you can always find her.

Whenever she thought Charlotte was unlikely to come over, Charlotte would always appear in an unexpected place.

This time too.

Navia sighed and said, "You can escape the other reporters, but you can't escape Charlotte."

"I'm sorry, Miss, we've already tried very hard not to be discovered."

"But I didn't expect to be caught by this reporter."

Charlotte retorted, "What are you saying? You're making it sound like I'm some vicious criminal who can scare children to tears!"

But that's just how it is for journalists; they're hard to be liked no matter where they go.

Charlotte was already used to this kind of reaction.

Moreover, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear; which of her reports is not factual and truthful?

If you have nothing to hide, why should you be afraid of her?

"Of course, if you have something urgent to attend to, I can come later."

"Isn't this an interview that's absolutely necessary?" Luna asked.

Charlotte winked playfully and snapped her fingers, saying, "Wherever there's the scent of news, there I am, Charlotte. Especially when it's the scent of an explosive, exclusive story."

She patted her chest, her tone full of pride and sincerity.

"Don't worry, I'll write it exactly as it's true. I'll add some story elements, but I'll absolutely not distort the facts. Compared to other reporters, being interviewed by me is the best choice."

Navia doesn't deny that, but it mainly depends on whether Luna is willing to accept it.

If Luna was unwilling, then she would have to ask Charlotte to come another day.

"What should we do, Lulu?"

Luna replied without hesitation, "Sure."

"Wow, Miss Luna, you're so kind! Without further ado, let me interview you both!"

Navia pointed to herself: "Me too?"

"Yes, after all... you see."

Charlotte took a newspaper out of her bag.

This is clearly not the Steambird, but another newspaper.

The title, boldly displayed in oversized font, read: "The Eldest Daughter of the Rose Society and the Popular Actress Elopement!?"

The post also included a photo of Luna being dragged along by Navia.

elopement?

Navia sighed, "These unscrupulous newspapers... We just didn't want to be bothered."

Luna peeked out.

The content was presented in a very serious manner, but upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that it was all just repeating the same things over and over again.

Every single word is nonsense.

It's like this: What exactly happened? Let's delve into the truth together... It turns out it was like this, even I was surprised... Okay, that's the gist of it...

Effective information content: 0.

Wasting one's life: 1000%

“This is obviously a publicity stunt.” Silver pushed up his sunglasses.

“Yes, if Miss really wanted to be with Miss Luna, she would have announced it directly instead of eloping,” Myles said.

"Exactly, but I don't have those feelings for Lulu!"

Luna laughed and said, "It's okay if you have them, okay?"

"Really not!"

And I was just rejected.

Refers to a partner.

"Although it has no nutritional value, as long as it generates buzz, that's all that matters. That's the key to these kinds of newspapers."

"If you want to suppress the topic, you have to use a more attention-grabbing topic."

"And the most talked-about topic right now is undoubtedly today's trial. I tried to ask Miss Luna's theater troupe, but they all refused to be interviewed..."

As she spoke, Charlotte pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the two of them.

I opened the notebook, took out a pen, turned on the camera lens, and confirmed that everything was working properly.

Preparation is complete.

"Then let the interview begin!"

Charlotte looked at her notebook, which already contained several questions she had thought of.

"First question—Miss Luna, why do you want to be an actress?"

“I want to be on stage. I think it would be a wonderful thing to be a musical theatre actress,” Luna replied with a smile.

Charlotte wants the truth, and of course she can give it to her.

However, an incomplete truth is still a truth.

"How did the members of the theater company react when you made accusations against playwright Miss Judith?"

Navia looked at Luna. The troupe's reaction? That's all...

Luna sat with an elegant posture, a flawless smile on her lips.

"It is because of everyone's existence that I can bring evil to justice and stand tall in the courtroom to speak out for justice."

Navia knew this wasn't the truth.

"It is my honor to meet everyone in the theater troupe."

Luna definitely doesn't think that way.

"The person who gave me the greatest encouragement was Mr. Romy, the head of the delegation."

But a distorted truth is still a truth.

Even if what I'm saying now is a lie, it doesn't matter.

Because once this report gets out, it will become "true"... and the theater company will make it true.

Navia knew that from this moment on, the Darkmoon Troupe was essentially under Luna's control.

The witnesses were herself and Xia Wore at that time.

Charlotte paused writing, lost in thought: "What about Navia? I heard you went to the Darkmoon Theatre Company back then too, and what you saw was..."

Luna looked at Navia, and their eyes met.

Luna is a rising star on the stage, and the spotlight will be focused on her. But in the shadows, there will be shadows that will wait for their chance to devour the brilliance of the spotlight.

Navia looked away and smiled, "Just like Lulu said."

Those who stand on the stage must be sincere to the stage and to the audience.

But for those outside the stage, a bit more shrewdness is needed.

.................

Charlotte went back.

It was already late, and although Navia wanted Luna to stay overnight at the Rose Society's base so the two could chat and discuss things further, it was too late.

But after Luna politely declined, she didn't insist on keeping her.
