☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I respect you, - Laikos praised her, understanding the leader's intentions.
- Once a promise is made, true queens do not break it, - the sorceress in a bikini explained to the commoner.

- I had no doubt about you!

- Uh, - Laikos blushed, - microorganisms might have grown there...

- I boiled it; I'm not going to drink something icy...

🏋️: Hooray! Forward!
👑: Ho-ho-ho! With my participation, this performance has no chance of failing!

- That's the spirit! 👍
"50 rem? Forget it, guys. You deserve more."

- Bea-a-ta! Bea-a-ta! - The people in the audience shout.

Beata's inner thoughts:



Beata's outward appearance:

- Woo! That's my student! - An old acquaintance of the circus performer, Salmon Zimbari, draws attention to himself. - Give them a good show! Show them where dragons spend the winter!

Beata winks at her "teacher."

- Well, let's see what you've come up with, criminal. - A voice came from below, where Kreya, who was not very tall, stood.

A sly smile - look, enjoy, no one is stopping you.

- Look at these love-struck rascals! -

Gion blushed even more.

- Beata! Gion! - Lynetta Saturnia Ulysses waves her hand. - We've met again! Good luck!

Beata made a heart shape with her fingers, and Gion smiled and waved at the old acquaintance.

- Don't chicken out like last time, cowards! - Tsveta shouted cheerfully.

A proud smile - we defeated the dragon; we won't chicken out!

- Gion, the reputation of the medical profession rests on your shoulders; don't let me down, - Brescia raised the stakes.

Gion gave a military salute.

Dachs throws a few rotten eggs at Beata, but misses.
- Oh, it looks like the show has already started! - One of the spectators commented, laughing.

Beata deftly dodged and stuck her tongue out at Dakhs - as if to say, I told you, hit me first!

🏋️: Nooooooooo!
The heart-wrenching cry of the largest of those present amused the guests.

- But now everyone will see everything, and no one will block anyone's view, - Beata smirked a little later, standing next to Laikos.

Suppressing the tears that welled up from excitement, the Lunarian bowed to the audience.
- Aha-ha! What a cutie!

Beata gave the musician two thumbs up, smiling broadly and encouragingly.

With their cheers, the assembled residents supported the endeavor, and Alaria could not help but feel proud of her friend, joining them:
- Show them! Bea-a-ta!

"And you, Brute..." - Beata thought, continuing to smile and wave.

Such positive feedback was not typical for her. But... It was definitely pleasant.
Phew, let's go. She still has two and a half acts and a side job as a master of ceremonies.
Changing into her working leotard in a minute, Beata rushed out again, carefully watching what was happening. The feeling of unreality did not leave her. This... is she? This... are they all? This... is working? Wow. Just wow.

Gion became the center of attention. While the other Carnelians were engrossed in the performance, his mission was to ensure that everything went smoothly. This meant - keeping an eye on the stage, the audience, the props, and everything, everything, without being distracted by what was happening on stage. He remembered that Beata had warned the other Carnelians to help him with this mission, and that the city guard was aware of their shenanigans, but... he was still the only one who was entirely and completely responsible for this part of the performance.
