The two ghosts that had possessed the debrum and clock slowly revealed their phantom forms.

  "Isn't letting that human stay in this castle a little... too much? Her Lordship has always hated humans."

  Fokker's tone was still full of unease and fear.

  The two ghosts had been serving the Duke of Bones for hundreds of years, and they were loyal to her.

  For the past few hundred years, they had seen too many ignorant humans barging into the duke's domain, only to be instantly devoured by a rge group of Souleaters with nothi behind. Even the luckier ones were finally verted into undead creatures, cursed to forever live a life er thah.

  Every single one of the humans who dared to approach the duke's domai a horrible end, and that old dy, who was not even a mage, not oered the castle but also enjoyed a meal in it!

  In the past, they would not be able to imagine such a thing happening, or rather, imagining such a thing itself was already heresy.

  Yet, the reality before them was that the Duke of Bones was treating the human with "enthusiasm".

  "This is His Highness' will. Did you not notice that after His Highness' arrival that the Her Lordship has never been happier for the past two days? Even her soulfire has almost turned into the shape of a musiote."

  Farlow was one of the violinists in the Duke of Bones' orchestral ensemble. His memories of his past life were still fresh even after he ended up as the duke's funeral sacrifice.

  "Plus, His Highness' " in D" is really amazing. If I were still alive, I would really love to visit that great poser in his faraway try."

  As they talked, a gentle piano tune suddenly serehe castle. The musiotes eased the cold and gloom that permeated throughout the castle earlier.

  "Don't you think that Her Lordship has reverted to the way she was in the past during these st two days?"

  Upon listening to the tune, Farlow realized that since Joshua's arrival, the Duke of Bones had ged a lot.

  Previously, the Duke of Bones was absolutely paranoid. She would not allow any living being to enter her domain, and unless absolutely necessary, she would not leave her domaiher. Thus, she had spent a long, long time cooped up ihe castle.

  "In the past? Indeed. She's finally ughed at least. Haven't seen that in decades."

  Fokker looked at his good friend, and after being friends for so long, Fokker definitely uood what Farlow meant when he mentiohe "past".

  "Damn it! if not for those damned revolutionaries, I believe that His Highness would definitely fall head over heels for Her Lordship."

  "Ahem... Farlow," Fokker cleared his throat and reminded Farlow. While Farlow was indeed a ghost, he could still feel a chill run down his back.

  "If Her Lordship hears what you two have just said, it will be more than enough reason for her to feed you both to the dogs."

  A slightly immature voice rang out behind them, and they immediately turo the young phantom and bowed.

  "Majordomo."

  Joshua had followed the ghost into the hall as it led the way. The ghost was aence sed only to the Duke of Bones and was the steward of the castle.

  He was also the ghost that pyed the role of the teacup earlier.

  "My thanks to all of you for your cooperation. There are still many unfinished parts of the movie that I need your help to plete."

  Joshua had never been good with ptitudes. A programmer's life was always more a aalk, so Joshua could only briefly describe to the ghosts living in the castle what to do .

  There was a total of twenty-one ghosts in the castle that had the right to serve the Duke of Bohey were obviously different from the ghosts that had only maintaiheir form for a year or two, and a number of the ghosts in the castle could be traced back to an age prior to the dawn of humanity.

  All of the twenty-one ghosts had the ability to possess items and use them as bodies. That helped Joshua resolve one of the biggest draws iy and the Beast", the living furniture.

  "Your wish is our and, Yhness."

  The three ghosts gave Joshua a courteous bow from an unknion.

  "Your current task is pleted. All of you may leave a some rest."

  Joshua was an outsider to the people of the castle, an outsider with nhts to order anyone around. Despite that, Joshua did not detect a speck of sense of rese from any of the ghosts.

  Could it be his identity as the third prince pyed a role in that?

  Joshua had no time to think of that now. As he watched the three ghosts disappear, he turo Zenarth beside him.

  The Sin Demon was wearing a ade e that hid all of his va-rock skin and finally gave off a slight princely disposition.

  Zenarth had just pleted his first se, where the Beast threw Belle's father into the dungeon.

  Zenarth's performance was stelr as he pyed the role of a manic prince who was afraid of unig with others to a tee.

  However, Zenarth felt a little lost now.

  "The Duke of Bones' lulby has already put the woman to sleep. She will be well taken care of when she wakes up."

  Joshua khe reason why Zenarth felt so down.

  As a brave and war-m Sin Demoh could mercilessly decapitate every single one of the bandits in that vilge and bathe the ground with their blood.

  Yet, against a powerless old dy, just snarling at her and rudely tossing her into the dungeon was enough to make Zenarth feel ashamed.

  Kindness?

  It was aion that a race born fhter like the Sin Demons did not hat was just the basic dignity and training of a powerful warrior. Zenarth's fmes were prepared only for sinners and those who itted evil.

  "Ynor will e to the castle iernoon. After the filming, that human will be free. Zenarth, use this time to find a couple of ghosts that dao learn some ballroom dang."

  Joshua was fident that he could plete the filming of "Beauty and the Demon" in a short span of time.

  Usually, the most time-ing parts of filming were mistakes from the actors, the sideration and arra of camera angles, post-produ special effects, and what not...

  However, those problems did for Joshua. Every single one of the actors in the castle was a servant of the Duke of Bones, uhe vilgers who were difficult to trol.

  If things proceeded fast enough, Joshua expected to finish the movie's entire filming process in a week's time.

  After all, "Beauty and the Demon" was only a small part of Joshua's blueprint. The movie would be Joshua's stepping stoo the Human Realm.
