A Parent-child Moment

Selma Payne's POV:

Even a professional troupe's backstage was not much tidier than an amateur troupe's backstage in school. Props, costumes, tables, and chairs, and half-drunk bottles of mineral water, could be seen everywhere.

The actors were nervous and uneasy when they saw us, and the staff was even in a hurry to clean up the mess.

However, this awkward scene only lasted briefly before it was broken. Cynthia, this young girl so obsessed with looks, immediately forgot about her shyness as a little adult and my advice when she saw the female lead. She started chatting with her like a little fangirl.

The female lead was a rather famous female opera actress. The name 'Cynthia' came from a role she had once played. At first, she was a little reserved, not knowing how to respond to a royal family member - the one that she had never heard of - and not knowing how to deal with a child who could ask ten questions in a second.
