Across the Yala Moat from the Ikelite Crown Group, in the city center commercial district of Ikelite North District, stands the Ikelite Opera House.

It is located at Penny's Point in Yara Port, adjacent to the Yara River Port Bridge, occupying an area of approximately 1.9 hectares.

Adopting a modernist style and innovative shell-shaped roof design, the entire complex is composed of large triangular concrete "shells" and glass curtain walls, resembling a set of raised sails, grand and imposing. The impact and imagination left on the building are regarded as an outstanding example of expressionist architecture.

"Dear, I heard from Antanas that today's opera is absolutely spectacular."

Isatia, holding hands with a black-haired aristocratic woman, bypassed sluggish vehicles and darted across the newly changed traffic lights at the intersection, strolling leisurely in the broad Temple Square at the North Shore.

She said with anticipation, clenching a fist with one hand.

To ensure the best viewing experience, she deliberately skipped every rehearsal and didn't allow Migaya to watch with her.

"Actually, strictly speaking, I'm technically your sister-in-law now, so calling me 'dear' might be a bit inappropriate."

The black-haired woman answered with humor in her eyes.

"No matter, no matter, sister-in-law is also my best friend, why not."

Isatia hugged her defiantly, Minel.

Due to the overly popular performance at the Ikelite Opera House today, which attracted many media and celebrities, the Duke could only appear again as Minel Alansar to avoid being chased by ardent fans.

"Actually, I'm not worried about your sister; your sister has no suspicion at all. As long as you bypass her truth detection, she will believe the result without a doubt. But Lanci, that guy is very perceptive."

Minel pondered deeply.

Today, she had specially arranged for a puppet resembling Migaya in the VIP seats, so friends would see Migaya and Minel appear simultaneously, further dispelling Lanci and Talia's doubts.

"What if Lanci figures it out?"

Isatia asked Minel with some anxiety.

"He won't. There's no reason for him to deduce it. Not discussing the physique, I'm even over ten centimeters shorter than Migaya. There's no reason to associate us as the same person. Even if our temperaments have similarities, at most they should think of us as siblings."

Minel shook her head.

"That's good, hehe."

Isatia could relax and have fun with Minel, even in front of Lanci and her sister.

They walked toward the Ikelite Opera House, gazing at the grand Hutton modernist style building's several-story-high glass curtain walls and the lights it emitted. On the exterior wall, there were huge posters projecting "Holy War Romance - Half-Witch Chapter" along with promotional music clips.

Passing through Temple Square, the vast pure white sandstone exterior wall of the main building of the Ikelite Opera House began to come into view. Through the glass, one could glimpse the splendid and magnificent interior hall.

The twelve revolving glass doors at the entrance stood by the fountain square, with beige granite built pool walls surrounding water columns rising and falling to the music.

"The traffic in Ikelite is always this congested, but it's much better than Brilda."

Migaya believed that setting off early today was the right choice.

It was a weekend Valentine's Day celebration, so the closer to the Ikelite Opera House, the more congested the traffic became, so walking nearby was the best option.

"No worries, we've got Yabo. I'll just send him a message, and he can immediately open the doors to let us in."

Isatia returned to Ikelite after many years, spending a very delightful morning with Migaya.

The Hutton Kingdom did not have the strict laws prohibiting Concealment Magic to change races like the Protoss Empire of the Northern Continent. For some well-known figures, it was permissible to disguise as needed. Just for today, to ensure smooth identification and ticket check for entrance, one needed to maintain a recognizable identity.

Coincidentally, Minel Alansar had Duke Alansar's Mansion identity, which allowed her to travel unhindered in the South Continent for years.

As of now, Minel and Isatia appeared as if they had agreed to visit the Ikelite Opera House as the black-haired aristocratic lady and young Duchess.

Nearing the opera house, Isatia and Minel blended into the crowd of guests on the front square.

The gentlemen wore tailored suits or tailcoats with buttons shimmering in silver and mother-of-pearl hues, while the ladies donned fashionable gowns, radiating elegance and charm.

In comparison, the two aristocrats were dressed quite casually, yet their demeanor made them unmistakably appear as the Duke and Princess.

"Actually, I saw the original crew perform the first part in the South Crayney Empire. It was incredibly exciting. You can never predict what will happen next."

"Will something new happen today?"

"Most likely not. Today, the most humorous female lead is reportedly missing, and the promotional music clip looks to be a more melancholic style."

Isatia and Migaya walked on, hearing the surrounding spectators chatting and laughing.

The sounds of joy were filled with anticipation for the upcoming artistic feast.

This opera house houses multiple performance venues, including a concert hall, opera house, theatre hall, and auditorium, with the main performance hall accommodating nearly six thousand spectators simultaneously. It's the center of Hutton's performing arts, hosting over fifteen hundred concerts, operas, dances, and theatrical performances annually.

Many famous performers and art troupes from the South Continent have graced its stage.
