How is this story...
As the roster of actors continued to roll on the holographic projection on stage, Earl Balin bowed his head, seriously contemplating how to respond to Duchess Victoria Wilder's question.
The Duchess seemed to quite enjoy this new form of drama known as "Magic Shadow Theater," or perhaps she was interested in certain things it conveyed.
But after a few seconds of contemplation, Earl Balin gave up on the idea of praising or echoing and honestly conveyed his feelings: "It's something entirely new. Simply speaking of its form, it's very novel. But as for the story... I can't quite 'appreciate' it, nor can I resonate with the characters in the play."
This was the most direct thought of an aristocrat who had seen many dramas upon first encountering the Magic Shadow Theater.
