A Week Later…
It's been a week since Historia took an audition for the film. She also finished her homeschool early, now that she has summer vacation which will happen in few days. Currently, she is laying on the bed with boredom as the re-run drama on the television plays that she has already seen before. The blonde-haired beauty sigh once again as she silently wishes she could go outside, reading books under the sun or even ride on a horse. Historia misses her life in the countryside.
Then an alert chime snapped her out of it. Her ocean-blue eyes glanced over the nightstand where her smartphone is sitting. Historia turned on her stomach, crawled over to the nightstand, and grabbed her smartphone. She blinked slowly at the notification from her email until she realized it's an email from the company that she went audition a week ago.
Historia instantly sat up and went into her smartphone. She went to the email app and tap few times. She read the result slowly.
[To: Historia Lenz,
I would like to inform you that you have been accepted by the judges' choice. However, your role will be different from the usual fill-in cast roles. Normally, we do not offer such a large important role to an amateur actress. You have been chosen to play this role, however, it's one of the big roles. Please contact us with further information…]
She continues reading until she reached the end and blinked few times with surprise. "Wait, what?" Historia did not expect this result from her audition. She reread the email once again and she was baffled, and pleasantly surprised. "…I got a role? A big one?" she muttered with curiosity.
What did she do to earn such a big role?

Later…
"What the hell did she do to earn such a large role?" a disbelieving voice heard from a twenty-six-year-old handsome man who has inky-black hair, grey-blue eyes, fair skin, and he wears a white button shirt with two buttons, black jeans, and grey slippers. His name is Levi Ackerman, the well-known famous actor who is currently sitting on the couch while crossing his arms. He stared at Erwin who is sitting at the leather chair across from Levi.
Erwin leaned forward as his elbow rested on his knees. "She has potential, Levi. Not only the judges noticed that, but even I have seen something special from her. She could make the movie one of the best rewarding films." He explained, calmly.
"Tsk. She's an amateur, Eyebrows." The raven-haired man pointed it out, unimpressed. His grey-blue eyes dart down at the open file with papers of Historia Lenz. "It was her first audition and now she will take one of the main character's roles?" Levi couldn't believe why would Erwin want an amateur actress to involve a big part in the movie.
The blonde-haired man just smiles politely. "She is more than that, Levi. Give her a chance."
Levi huffed and lean over to pick up the profile paper with a photo attached at the corner. He observed the blonde-haired female. He won't deny that Historia is a very beautiful girl. He also noticed the height and weight which he was slightly surprised that there is someone who is shorter and lighter than him. It actually makes him somewhat glad. However, there is one problem…
"She's a fucking kid." He deadpanned when he saw the age.
Erwin raises his huge eyebrow at Levi with curiosity. "And?"
Levi glares at the blonde-haired man. "Jesus, Eyebrows. Did you forget the relationship between Kane and Ella in the later film?" he sarcastically said.
"It's fine. She's sixteen. Which is appropriate."
Levi snorted with disbelief. "I'm twenty-six and I am not going to have sexual contact with a sixteen-year-old brat." He refuses, even though he knew it's all just acting. Levi doesn't want to engage in such explicit sex with a young girl.
"Which is why Abel rewriting the parts." Erwin knew Levi and his thoughts. The blonde-haired man already informed the scriptwriter to change few scenes. "There won't be such details of explicit sex with Ella. Instead, there is minor sexual contact… which is why I said it's appropriate." He explained with a knowing smile. Levi clicked his tongue sharply as Erwin already went ahead to fixes the problems.
The raven-haired actor gives another examination of the profile. "Is she ready for taking on a responsibility role?" he asked, slightly curious.
Erwin smiles wide. "Yes. After all, she wants to be free." He answered, mysteriously.
Levi cocked his eyebrow at the blonde-haired man slightly puzzled as he lowered the document. "Free?" Erwin nods his head silently in response. "Huh…" Levi wonders why this sixteen-year-old wants freedom?

Historia's Bedroom
Meanwhile…
The blonde-haired beauty couldn't believe that she got herself a big role in the film. She didn't expect that result because she honestly thought she might be able to land a small minor role or background character. However, she was wrong since Historia will be taking one of the main characters. Historia is currently sitting on the cushioned stool in front of the vanity in her bedroom while staring at her reflection. Her ocean-blue eyes sparkle with happiness, excitement, and nervousness. She truly feels the honor to be chosen for playing a big role, however, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Historia doesn't want to disappoint anyone. She doesn't want to have them regret choosing her, which means she needs to practice her acting skill as much as she could to the best of her ability. She already contacted the people about the role of the film. Historia accepted to take the role, however, she has to take someone who is a legal adult with her.
The blonde-haired beauty bit her inner cheek when she thought about which adults she could take with her. Obviously, she can't talk to her father nor anyone of her "family", however, she did think about one of the servants who are kind and respectful to her in the villa.
Then the knocks interrupted her mused. "Lady Historia?" the petite girl made a face, she has attempted to inform the servants not to called her by that title. Unfortunately, they were too stubborn.
"Yes?" Historia called out politely curious. The door opens to reveal an early-twenties woman who has short black hair that was parted to the right side, lightly tanned skin, and gold-colored eyes with a small patch of freckles below each one. She wears a professional servant uniform, dark-brown boots with laces, and a white headband. Her name was Ilse Langnar, she is one of the servants that Historia trust.
Ilse smiles gently at the blonde-haired beauty. "Pardon me, Lady Historia. I've come to inform you that your lunch is ready." She explained.
"Ah, thank you Ilse." Historia smiles at her, thankfully. She stood up from the stool and step forward but paused when she had an idea. "…Ilse." The servant tipped her head as her eyes on the blonde-haired petite with polite questioning. "Remember last week that I went for the audition?"
Ilse's eyes lit up. "Does that mean Lady Historia got a role?" she asked, hopeful.
Historia smiles as she nodded her head. "Yes. But it's a big role. They decided that I should take one of the main characters and I accepted it."
"That's wonderful news!" the servant clasped her hands together with an excited smile on her face. "This is great, my Lady!"
The blonde-haired beauty smiles warmly at her. "Thank you. But… I have to take someone who is legal age with me." She entwined her fingers together and pressed them against her chest with wide hopeful eyes. "Will you come with me?"
Ilse's eyes widened in surprise. "O-oh, me? Are you sure?" she pointed herself in shock. Historia nodded her head which made the servant beamed at her. "Of course! It would be my honor, Lady Historia!"
Historia smiles widely with relief. "That's great. But, if you want to come with me… you can't call me by that title." She warned the servant, gently.
"I-I guess I can understand… but it's so disrespectful." Ilse muttered, concerned as she doesn't want to be rude to the sweet girl.
The blonde-haired petite shakes her head. "Oh no… think of as a… another job outside of this villa. Here, you can continue calling me by that title. But out there, I'm Historia Lenz, the amateur actress. And you will be Ilse, my manager." Historia decided with a confident smile.
"It would be my honor to work with you!" Ilse said, excited to work alongside Historia. "So, what is happening now that you earned a role. Do you have to leave or something?" she asked, wondering.
Historia hummed with thoughtful as she placed her index finger on her cheek. "…Ilse, please called one of the servants to bring up my lunch here. We have a lot to discuss our plan outside of this villa." She said, politely.
"Of course, my Lady." Ilse tipped her head respectfully, then quickly went to inform the servant as she left Historia's bedroom.
After a moment, Historia's lunch arrived on the coffee table which she sat on the fluffy cushion on the ground and enjoying her soup and sandwiches along with a glass of water. Ilse sat on the cushion across the coffee table with a glass of water in front of her. "Allow me to get this straight… you want me to be your manager outside of this villa, and you will be Historia Lenz, correct?" Historia nodded her head, confirmed that the servant is right. "Excuse me for my blunt, Lady Historia… but do you think it's wise to use your birth name? I mean, it's unusual, and won't your father discover your… disobedience when he finds out?" she asked, concerned as she doesn't want Historia to get in trouble.
Historia took out a spoon from her mouth with a frown. "That thought it cross my mind, but… I doubt that father will notice. He hardly visits me, and I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot my name. Plus, I'm using my mother's maiden surname. Honestly, I doubt that Reiss family will even notice me. They don't even know what I look like. So, all in all… I'm safe from discovering by father. And there is a slim chance for anyone to found out my true heritage." Historia explained since she did think about this for a while.
"I see… if anything did happen, just know that I, and other servants of this villa have your back." Ilse assured the blonde-haired beauty.
Historia smiles gratefully at her as she set the spoon down. "Thank you, Ilse."
The black-haired servant leaned forward with excitement lit in her eyes. "May I know what this big film about? And your role?" she asked, enthusiastic.
"I only have small info about this film. It will be explaining more details once we leave for another destination and meetings." Historia explained, calmly with a smile.
Ilse hummed with understanding. "What do you know about this film, Lady Historia?" she is curious.
Historia picked up her half cut of a sandwich. "The title of the film is called, 'Hitman's Tears' and it roughly about a hitman and a chosen Heir. Other than that, not much. The Director's Assistant explained to me there will be a more detailed explanation in meetings." She explained, then grabbed a napkin to wipe her lips from any crumbs that she finished her sandwich.
"That makes sense. In meetings, there will be involved with a lot of discussing, suggestions, and planning for the film." Ilse commented, understanding. She noticed a surprised expression on Historia's face. "Ah… I enjoyed research things for knowledge. I've come across these types of stuff just for a purely fun hobby." She explained with a sheepish smile.
Historia smiles widely. "I think it's a wonderful hobby. It sounds very useful and I'm glad you're coming with me." She feels like she chose a perfect "manager" role.
Ilse's blushes at the praises. "Thank you, Lady Historia." Then she realized something. "Oh, where will these films take places?" she is curious. "And how long will it take to shoot a film?" she asked, slightly concerned.
"The film will be in England and then France." Historia answered, excited yet slightly nervous. She never left the country before considering she is from the countryside outside of the Paradis state. The blonde-haired beauty grabbed her glass of water. "And as for how long, I'm not sure yet. And also, I don't have the passport." She said, worried.
The servant's eyes lit up. "Don't worry about that, Lady Historia. I know someone who can handle that problem. Just need some cash and you'll officially get your own passport in few days." She assured the blonde-haired petite who looked relieved. "But seriously, in England and France?! That's going to be very exciting!"
Historia smiles widely. "Yeah… it is going to be quite… adventure." She muttered, curious what her life is going to be like once she starts her first career as a newbie actress.
It would be surely an interesting experience for Historia.

Dreyse's Residence
Later…
A loud shattered heard in the living-room as the thousand pieces of vase glass on the marble floor that was thrown across the room. A young woman who is of average height, fair skin, and slim build. She has an oval face, large light-green eyes with long eyelashes, and thin eyebrows. Her pale-brown hair is wavy that kept in chin-length style with a clump of bangs around her forehead. She wears a dark-green blouse, black shorts, and black sandals. She is known as Hitch Dreyse, one of the famous and beautiful actresses.
And Hitch is pissed when she lost her role and was switched to a different role. "Who the hell do they think they are?! How dare they just dumped me onto a useless stupid role!" she bellowed in fit as she grabbed one of the throw pillows.
In the safe distance, a young tall man who has black bowl-cute hair, small grey eyes, and he wears a black dress shirt with a dark navy-blue tie, black slack, and dark-brown leather shoes. His name is Marlo Freudenberg, the manager. "Hitch…" Marlo attempts to calm the raging actress who is also his childhood best friend and pseudo-sister.
Hitch threw the pillow at the wall with fury. "WHY?!" she whirled around to face her manager/best friend. "Why the hell they switched me out?! Was I not perfect fit for Ella's character?!" her hands curled in fists at her side, demanded an answer.
Marlo sighed softly as he glanced down at the tablet that displays his emails. "Well, according to what Nifa's email informed was that they found the best candidate for Ella's character. Not just appearance, but the personality and the aura. And they believe that you are a better fit for Caily's character." He repeated the reason to the actress once again, calmly.
"Best candidate… who the hell is this actress?!" Hitch crossed her arms, angrily.
Marlo just shook his head in response, he doesn't know who is the actress that changed the Director and the Producer's mind. He has a feeling that whoever this mystery actress, must have one hell of acting skill to earn Ella's character. After all, Ella is the main female character in the movie.
"Un-fucking-believable!" the actress hisses as she grabbed another pillow and started to dig her sharp nails in the fabric. "This was my real chance to finally become a true famous when I worked my ass off for that role! Now I have no chance!" she whined loudly as she stomped her foot.
The manager just sighed; he has been hearing her complain for the last few hours ever since he informed her about the news of her switching to a different role.
"Whoever that bitch is…" Hitch's eyes got darken. "…I won't make her act easy." She promised, solemnly. Marlo just shakes his head quietly, knowing that nothing will stop his best friend once she made a promise to herself.
Marlo prays for the poor actress' luck.

Later…
A twenty-six-year-old actor who has light-grey eyes, dark blonde hair with bangs that hung over his forehead between his eyes, and he wears a white v-neck shirt with an unbuttoning black vest, loose light-blue scarf around his neck, dark jeans, and white socks as he had to take off his shoes at the foyer. His name is Farlan Church, one of the famous actors and singers. Farlan is currently sitting on one of the stools while reading the documents on the counter with a thoughtful face. "So, this girl is going to be the female lead of Hitman's Tears?" he questioned, examined the photo of a beautiful blonde-haired petite girl.
In the kitchen, Levi is busy making his tea with a scowling face. "That Eyebrows thinks she has potential. Perfect fit for Ella's character." He reached over to grab a new teacup from the cabinet. "That shitty brows said something about her wanting to be free."
Farlan raise his eyebrow with curiosity while his light-blue eyes studied the profile of the new actress. "…she's really cute." He commented and pointed at the height. "And she's shorter than you. I guess there is someone out there who is shorter than you in this world, after all." He jokily added with an amused smirk on his face.
Levi sends his childhood best friend an irked glared over his shoulder. "She's sixteen." He empathies as he informed Farlan's the newbie's age.
"So?" the blonde-haired singer shrugged uncaringly. "My girlfriend is six years younger than me and we are happily together." He pointed it out, coolly.
The raven-haired actor grabbed his teapot to fill in his teacup while scowling heavily. "I'm not interested to pursue a sixteen-year-old brat. I'm talking about the fact that shitty Eyebrows thinks it a great idea to place a girl of her age to be romantic involves with me in a movie." He grumbled.
"It's just acting, Levi. There are tons of celebrities whose ages that doesn't matter in films. I mean—remember that one horror film? The Orphan? A supposedly twelve-year-old actress acts like she's in her mid-thirties and seduced to a something-thirties-year-old actor? It's like that… just acting." The blonde-haired actor said with slightly amused.
Levi sighed loudly as he turned around, leaning his back against the edge of the counter while holding his teacup unique way. "I know. I know. I just—I have never done acting with someone who's practically a kid to be involved romantically." He muttered, slightly concerned yet exasperated. His grey-blue eyes stared at his Earl Grey tea for a brief moment, enjoying the scent of it.
Farlan hummed with understanding and gave another examination at the document. "It's not like you and this girl—" he paused, reading the name. "—Historia, which is an unusual name but fitting for her appearance. Anyways, it's not like you and her will fall in love with each other or anything like that. You both will be working together professionally, anyway." He said, calmly. "Plus, she's sixteen… practically a young adult, so… I don't think it's that weird to act intimate with her."
The raven-haired actor just scowled at his tea quietly. Farlan sighed softly then leaned forward as he crossed his arms on the counter. "I'm sure you and Historia could work together well. Who knows, she might be a very sweet girl. I mean—" his blue eyes glanced down at the paper once again. "—it said that she's from the countryside, which means that she could be nice. Maybe even have that adorable accent too." He said with a half-grinned.
Levi snorted as he rolls his eyes, lifted his tea to his lips, and enjoying the taste of bitter hit his tongue. In a quiet moment between two childhood friends until Farlan opens his mouth. "At least we can meet her at the meeting soon." He said with a positive grin on his face.
The raven-haired actor just hummed in response while enjoying his bitter tea. He hopes that this newbie isn't one of those lovestruck overbearing and annoying fangirls nor arrogant bitchy. 'Guess I'll have to wait and see.' He mused, silently wondering who Historia Lenz truly is.
If she causes any problems, he won't be hesitant to kick her out of the movie since his famous status and reputation allows him to do that. So, let's hope she won't cause any chaos.
