Chapter 347: Caught in the Act
The more they watched the battle scenes, the more certain the members of the Red Jackals were that this so-called โLegacy of the Dynastyโ crew was no ordinary production team. As they became more involved, trying to secure their positions, the teenagers, with their military academy training, performed action scenes even better than the martial arts instructors. Even Zayn, who had shot numerous battle scenes, couldnโt help but admire the professionalism of these young actors. Indeed, having the right skills for the job mattered! Just the military demeanor of the academy students matched perfectly with the Celestial Army. Since โLegacy of the Dynastyโ mostly featured large battle scenes at the start, the students from Borcalia Military Academy vividly brought to life the spirit of warriors past and present.
This fired up Lucas, who was participating in a shoot for the first time. With his makeup done and dressed in dark armor, he excitedly ran to find Olivia. โOlivia! When are we going to shoot our scenes? I canโt wait any longer!โ Originally, Lucas was just rounded up to bulk up the crew, but once he donned the Celestial Army uniform and gripped his spear, seeing hundreds of youths fighting bravelyโฆ he felt he was ready too! Olivia was busy confirming the upcoming scenes with the scriptwriter. Seeing an excited Lucas jumping around near her, pulling Benjamin and Mia alongโฆ
Is this guy a reincarnated dog? Such boundless energy?
โToday, you just need to show your face; there arenโt any major scenes for you,โ Olivia said casually.
Lucas immediately looked disappointed.
โArenโt we important supporting characters?โ
Olivia smirked. โSo what if you are? In this show, even the male lead is just a prop. Be grateful youโre getting a chance to appear at all.โ
Saying this, Olivia glanced at Eugene, who had been sitting quietly for a long time. Alexander was there, not even changed into costume. When he first received Oliviaโs invitation, Alexander had great expectations. Olivia was the female lead of โLegacy of the Dynasty,โ and he was the male lead. Under these circumstances, they would have plenty of opportunities for close interactions, both on and off-screen. Even a naive tycoon had fantasized about how, if there were passionate scenes, he could ensure that his wife wasnโt exposed too much in front of others while still fostering their marital relationship. For this, he had brushed his teeth three times and taken two showers today.

Chapter 347: Caught in the Act
He realized all his thoughts were just delusions! Sure, he was the lead male in โLegacy of the Dynasty,โ but why did no one tell himโฆ the male lead only appears a handful of times throughout the entire show? Forget about intimate scenes with the female lead. The male and female leads appear together just twice in the whole show. Once, when the male lead leads his troops into battle. Another, when he dies on the battlefield and the female lead collects his body. Collecting his body was the only time they could even remotely consider having physical contact.
Upon seeing the script, Alexanderโs face turned dark. This was nothing like he had imagined. The male lead in โLegacy of the Dynastyโ was merely a tool, less visible even than a supporting character. It was just Alexander thinking too much. Olivia didnโt remember him from a past life at all, and the only reason she dared to cast such a โnewcomerโ as the male lead was becauseโฆ Alexander looked handsome, and the male lead in โLegacy of the Dynastyโ barely had any lines or screen time; he just needed to look good. He hardly needed any acting skills.
