Chapter 159
The Queen was one of the most brilliant characters in this drama. She bore disgrace and a heavy
burden. On one hand, she had to endure the pain of sharing her husband with other women. On the
other hand, she had to be generous as the mother of a nation. She could not bring shame to the palace
even though she was in bereavement.
She would have to always keep in mind her position, reminding herself that the King could not love
people to numb herself. She kept her feelings at bay until she discovered that the King had fallen in love
with the female lead. The belief the Queen had hung on to for many years collapsed, and the hatred from
betrayal rushed in. She loved him but could not get him. Love to hate was the most significant charm of
this character.

phones stopped and watched her. Stella was completely immersed in the role. With her every move,
even without any props, everyone could tell what she was doing. Stella delivered her lines clearly, and
her emotions were just right, especially with how she dealt with the details. Her smile, when she put the
Prince to sleep, would make people shudder when they think of it carefully. However, that same smile
seemed normal to others who did not know she was the villain.
After Stella’s performance ended, the room went silent Daniel cleared his throat and said, Tell me what
you think about it.”
The others exchanged looks and decided the assistant director should give his opinion. The assistant
director cleared his throat “She did a pretty good job acting, but she’s too young She might not be able to
handle the character
Daniel held his chin with his fingers and stayed silent for a long while. It was quite the problem. Their
original plan was to let a thirty plus actress play the Queen’s role. A calm and experienced face at that
age was naturally filled with stories. Stella was too pretty for this role People would first notice her face
the moment she stood there. It was a great advantage for an actress, but also a horrible one. Her beauty
would make the audience ignore her acting skills. When Stella was in school, her teacher once
commented on her appearance. The teacher said that she might use her appearance as an advantage.
Yet she would also have a hard time advancing in her acting career with this pretty face limiting her roles.
Stella was not convinced by her teacher’s comment. While everyone was busy falling in love during
college, she was busy studying and taking care of her mother. However, she married. Keegan before she
even had the time to prove her worth.
Stella was much calmer now that this point had been rehashed again. Daniel stayed silent for a moment

Everyone went silent once Daniel said this. The way Stella said her lines was impeccable. Whether it
was the articulation, vocalization, or tone of voice, Stella had grasped them all very well. In terms of
details, she was even more in-depth than the person who tried before her. But obviously, Stella was not
the desired actress in these people’s hearts.
Then, another person voiced out. “I saw her resume just now. She has no prior work. How could we use
a newbie for such an important role? Isn’t it too big of a risk?”
At that, Kelly spoke up. “Director Wood, I don’t think we should let someone like her play such a pivotal
role. This character has almost the same amount of scenes as the female lead.”
Daniel glanced at her. “Do you have a better option?”
Kelly immediately replied, “Bella Young. We’ve worked with her before. This actress has fame and her
acting skills aren’t bad either. She’s also very interested in this role. I think Bella should try it out.”
