Shannon wasn't flustered that her line was stolen. Instead, she nodded solemnly at Steve, as if saying, "Yup. What they said."
After receiving the reassurance he needed, Steve instructed the stylist to start the makeup and wardrobe preparations for the cast members.
Although they were extras in name, they were still top-tier celebrities at the end of the day. Of course, they wouldn't treat them like an extra hired for a daily wage of 150 dollars. That would be tyrannical!
Setting aside Vincent and Olivia's status, Shannon, too, had excellent looks and potential. If the drama could wrap up smoothly and air, it would mark her on-screen debut. As such, he had to ensure he presented her in a good light.
After all, he was best at capturing one's unique beauty on camera.
With a wave of his hand, the stylist began working on the looks for the group, following the designs that had been prepared earlier. Meanwhile, Steve discussed some script changes with the writer. He planned to include a villain that would appear for only five seconds yet would still shock the audience.
Perhaps it was their trust in Shannon that everyone on set, including the livestream audience, paid no heed to the powerful spirit. Instead, they excitedly watched as the cast members did their makeup and hair.
Usually, film crews were wary of leaking new character designs before the official show reveal. However, with the current situation of the production nearly falling apart, no one was concerned about potential spoilers.
With that being said, Carlos only gave the livestream audience a teaser because he cut the scene to the production crew before the character designs' reveal.
Instantly, the livestream chat erupted in a flurry of excitement, begging Carlos to pan the camera back to Vincent, Olivia, and Shannon.
About a minute later, the filming of The Flourishing Age finally began amidst the audience's eager anticipation.
The two guards continued with their actions as Lucy spoke. It wasn't until Princess Olivia had her curiosity piqued that she inquired, "Is that truly the case?"
Lucy was about to affirm when she heard Princess Olivia continue, "I know you do not truly wish to recommend a seamstress, but are instead trying to distract me to spare this little maid. You are clever, yet I do not appreciate such attempts to mislead me."
She began to wipe her tears sadly as she recounted, "I have yet to be sent off to wed, and already the daughter of a mere minister attempts to deceive me. This speaks volumes of my current plight—oh, how pitiful it is! Woe is me… You too conspire against me!
"Your Highness, this humble servant would never dare!"
"You spoke it, regardless," said Princess Olivia as she wept. Then, her tone suddenly changed again. "I wish not to see her strike the tree; would you take her place instead?"
