A group of children slipped out of the servants' quarters and quietly ran towards the stage in front of the main house. Though the May residence was brightly lit at night, it was mostly limited to the outside and inside of the main house. Other areas were dimmer, and with the cover of night, the actions of the children went largely unnoticed.
A grand performance began on the stage, and the children watched with keen interest. Clarence Xenos widened his eyes, finding this performance far more captivating than those in the village. The set design and the actors' costumes were exquisitely detailed.
Upon entering the city and arriving at the May residence, he realized just how different things were from his village.
Meanwhile, Mireille obediently stayed by Clarence's side, sucking her thumb and staring blankly at the stage. It wasn't clear if she was truly absorbing the spectacle or not.
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out near the children, "Oh, you're sneaking a peek! Who are you?"
