Aura of a genius actor chapter 292
Salome(1)
Like a misty moonlit night, a dim blue light dimly illuminates the stage.
A breeze blew in there.
The silvery wind fluttering softly on the stage warmly touches someone’s lips, and gently squeezes and releases someone’s neck.
Is it reality or fantasy? It’s breathtakingly beautiful.
Rich silver hair is loosely tied together, swaying behind her back.
A translucent blue cloth wrapped around her slender arms, and a bell made a sound with every step she took, at her pale ankles exposed under the silver satin that softly wrapped her body.
slinky-
slinky-
Close your eyes and then open your eyes
Is it fascination or magical power that forms in the flowing eyes?
‘Who is it?’
At the shock of a beauty they had never experienced before, the audience automatically thought of such a question.
With her knees slightly bent, she stretches and stretches her body.
Even though my feet do not stay for even an hour to the music that is getting faster and faster, the sound of the bells is getting quieter.
And at some point, the bell stopped.
Even the sound of the music faintly sinks below consciousness.
Behind her, white snow began to fall.
Under the dazzling moonlight, the earth is covered in white, and on it, a dancer who may be a human or a spirit dances silently, stepping on the snow.
gulp-
I can’t breathe out the groan that leaks out and I swallow it.
Perhaps the dancer’s name is ‘Salome’.
The snow falling on the cold earth seems to embrace the earth warmly at that moment, but
Soon it will melt away like an illusion, or it will turn into ice and make the earth colder.
But without knowing it, the earth met the first snow and was blinded by its beauty.
And it turns white with the color of the eyes.
la….
As the music faded and she stopped her last move, the backstage lights came on.
It was then that the audience noticed that someone was still there.
‘New celebrity…!’
The waiting actor, dressed in a splendid royal costume, sat leaning on a chair.
The moment the dancer and the king’s eyes meet, the royal banquet hall unfolds behind them.
birthday party.
When the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall are fixed on her in the dancer’s celebration dance prepared by the prime minister, her unrivaled beauty, the gaze of the most solemn person falls on her.
Those gazes were languidly silent, but what lies deeper,
The eyes of a man who clearly responded to the stimulus.
“…So beautiful. What is your name?”
“Salome.”
The thick voice shook the eardrum like a revelation.
“I’ll give you a prize for showing me a great dance. What do you want, Salome?”
“I want Your Majesty’s head.”
The audience is startled by her bold words.
Although she was ridiculously beautiful, there was a sword sharpness in the king’s mood. A feeling that is felt by people who are a little broken, as if they could easily stab their opponent if they were wrong.
After a very brief and sharp silence, the king raises the corners of his lips once more.
“What did you plan to use my hair for?”
“If I dare not do anything to the Majesty, I will take even His Majesty’s head and kiss him.”
A provocative seduction that touches the depths of a man’s heart.
The king’s eyes lit up with fire.
in the minds of the viewers.

‘Sigh···’
The energy was sucked away.
And a feeling of exhilaration wraps around the body in place of the energy that has escaped.
‘This is… the feeling of real acting.’
It was completely different from when I borrowed someone else’s body to act. At that time, what the audience saw was their own soul, but it had gone through the medium of another person’s body once.
Along with the sense of immorality of doing something that shouldn’t be done, the sense of accomplishment that comes from being really doing what you’ve been dreaming of for a thousand years. catharsis. The tenacious gaze of three thousand and five hundred people who want to chew themselves with their eyes.
‘More than I imagined.’
yes more
At that moment, I could understand the feeling of being famous even more.
If no one looked after him for 15 years, but the guy who worked hard to live a new life had felt this way for the first time and over and over again…
‘I guess I am the benefactor.’
Even himself, he would have taken him as a benefactor.
Act 1, Chapter 1 has just finished.
The moment you step out of the stage, you can vividly feel the countless gazes that squealed as if stuck in your own body. The moment I raised one hand, everyone’s eyes were on my fingertips as if hypnotized, and the moment I lowered my eyes, everyone wandered in search of their own eyes as if they were anxious.
The ultimate intoxication that comes from being intoxicated by all these people.
That’s the acting, the audience, and the stage.
‘It’s more consuming than I thought… vitality.’
I was prepared. Because I felt it while practicing with a celebrity.
Famous and himself are in a contractual relationship. Therefore, even though it should be relatively less difficult to manifest in front of a celebrity, it has already consumed quite a lot of vitality in the practice process.
Of course, the biggest reason for the consumption of vitality is probably because of ‘realization’. Even in the state of being embodied, the side effects would be even more severe as I was doing ‘acting’ that had no choice but to exude a great presence.
But… even taking that into account, the reason it consumes faster than expected is probably…
‘Is it because of emotions…?’
Because he understands human emotions.
Because neither Salome’s feelings nor the Prime Minister’s feelings are ‘imitation’ anymore.
Because it is not in accordance with the order in itself to understand and express the heart of a human being.
‘Will you hold out…’
One tail is already half gone.
It is a question of whether or not he will be able to act until the end, but it is also a matter of whether or not the celebrity will not notice due to a lack of strength along the way.
If he notices, he’ll definitely stop the show in the middle.
Can not be done. After this performance, whether he lacks strength or is punished by the good world, he will never get the same opportunity again.
The first and last performance with an actor whom he has raised and admired.
‘Do it. must.’
There was a determined look in Hye-ho’s eyes.

What appeared in Chapter 2 was a beautiful man very similar to the dancer in Chapter 1.
Unlike Salome, who felt like a poisonous flower, he was so bright and sad that everyone had no choice but to like him. Then he has a friendly conversation with the king.
“Aden.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“When it’s just the two of you, call your name.”
“…Leo too.”
“Salome…your brother?”
“okay.”
“How did your brother become a dancer?”
“Because our family was poor. I was sold as a servant in the palace, and Salome was sold to a military officer. I was fortunate enough to be able to come to Salome as I began to do court affairs with the consideration of His Majesty, but… they already said that she couldn’t stand without dancing.”
“Hmm… was it because you were away every weekend to go see your brother…”
The king’s expression is much more relaxed than in Chapter 1.
The audience smiled slightly at the smile as if a beast with sharp claws was growling pleasantly in front of its owner.
Aden’s rhetoric of letting go of the end while using the title of ‘delivery’ playfully when telling him to let go of the word was charming, and the gaze of the king who accepted it was so relaxed that he could feel the exception.
It was very nice to see the friendship between the two handsome men.
“Then why don’t you give me Salome? I will take good care of you. Let them dance to their heart’s content in a beautiful place.”
“It was still a present for your Majesty. Because he is the benefactor of our brothers and sisters.”
“What is a benefactor among friends?”
So Salome comes to the king.
And the king, who has always been pessimistic after his mother’s death, changes little by little.
“I am doing that now. Don’t open your eyes.”
“If this is the case, then your Highness is defeated…?”
The bottomless gap in his heart was slowly filling up with his long-standing friendship with Aden. There, Salome spreads a love that cannot be filled by friendship.
The king’s eyes gradually became clearer, and his voice became stronger.
In doing so, he begins to actively pursue what he has always wanted but never been able to do.
The war with the Principality of Catania.
-Your Majesty- The war with the Principality of Catania is still premature…
-Majesty. The resentment of each region due to the recruitment of military supplies–
The king was not capable of governing the state at will.
What he wanted was met with opposition from the priests, and he faced difficulties over and over again, and only Aden and Salome believed in him and supported him.
“The only things that comfort me are your brothers and sisters…”
Even though it was a tired voice, the king’s voice was not as empty as it used to be.
It is clearly the voice of one who has something in his hand.
Everyone tries to fill their void with something, and they have no choice but to be generous with something that fills it.
“Sir, please be still. The dragonfly sat on your cheek.”
At that moment, the audience trembled, not because they really saw a dragonfly with its wings torn from Salome’s grasp and wriggling its tail in pain. It was because people were already fascinated by this stage and couldn’t tell the difference between the real thing and the acting.
The reason they were surprised was Salome’s changed expression.
The kind of surprise I felt with a king when I found a sharp distortion in her beautiful and charming skin.
But how do people become so generous with people who have kindness and affection?
“It is treason because you sat on a table, and it is adultery because you stole my man’s cheek. Wouldn’t it be a sin to be put to good use?”
In the end, the king laughs.
‘What if it’s a bit cruel? Even that figure is so cute. Salome was the only one who filled my heart like this.’
So he was completely tainted by the Aden and Salome siblings,
Aden was smiling of conversion.

Act 1 is over.
The audience was immersed in darkness, and while a period a little longer than that between Jang and Jang passed, Myung Myung drank water behind the stage.
‘Ha…that’s amazing.’
I thought that the pressure of acting with Miho was relieved a lot during practice.
But when I was on stage, it was different.
With a slight smile or a sudden expressionless expression, the audience played with Salome, and Arden appeared and relaxed the tension.
An acting that is close to a novelty that even controls the breathing of the audience.
In order to match the level of acting, he had to use all his strength. To the extent that I was so exhausted by the acting of only one act.
“Miho, are you okay?”
Still, I was worried.
The price of reverse logic that Miho himself agreed to bear.
Now, his dream is not just acting, he said that he wants to act with him.
If he could act with Miho even once, he would pay any price, so he had no choice but to understand and follow his heart…
Glitch-
Even though he can sacrifice himself, the thought of a person who cannot sacrifice his precious partner makes his fame so unsettling.
He counts the tail of the blue figure that only his eyes can see. Fortunately, all nine are still intact.
“Okay. What are you so worried about?”
“Because I’m worried…”
“I’m not pathetic enough to be worried about people like me. Take care of your acting.”
With the tick-tick-tick-tick tone, I was a little worried.
Act 2 has begun.
“Conquer Catania. Get ready for war!!”
“Your Majesty, it’s still too early…”
“I hate to hear it! Anyone who opposes this will be considered revolting and put to death!”
Leodo found his confidence and began preparing for war by firmly subduing his opponents.
And the audience was emotionally sympathetic to the ‘war’ that all three of them were in favor of.
The audience is easily immersed in the main character.
Salome was charming, Arden looked beautiful and wise, and the youngest audience was immersed in the process of making up for the lack of Leodo because of them.
However…
– What’s your plan? If we go to war like this, our ‘home country’ is in danger.
“Hey…Salome.”
The scene where Salome’s voice seems to be hiding behind the door and Aden are having a conversation.
His soft smile turned into a lie, into a cold laugh full of contempt,
The audience opened their eyes as if they had been hit.
“There will be no war.”
-why?
“My pretty little brother. Salome, the lady who blinded the king.”
He raises his hand in a theatrical gesture like a clown.
“You know what the cruelest thing in the world is?”
-……
“What you once thought you had, you lose.”
At that time, rather than Aden’s expression, Salome’s expression as she ripped off the dragonfly’s wings one by one must have been more moderate.
“That’s what drives people.”
Aden ripped open her mouth and smiled.
