Upon reaching Star Media, xsmyv registered and waited her turn for the audition. The waiting area was filled with other aspiring actors and actresses, all eager to showcase their talents. Xsmyv knew that competition would be fierce, but her determination was unwavering.

As Shante and her boyfriend, Aaron Dante, walked together, they made quite the power couple. Some B list actresses envied shante. Aaron Dante, a wealthy and influential figure in Ligalia, was well-known in elite circles. His wealth, connections, and charisma had made him a prominent name among the upper echelons of society. Shante was also aware of the importance of such associations, and she was eager to maintain her social standing within the elite crowd.

The mention of the three richest families, the Brahms, the Reeses, and the Adams, highlighted the immense influence they held in Ligalia. Jesse Adams, in particular, was a mysterious figure whose reputation extended far and wide. Known for his ruthlessness and remarkable business acumen, he had steered the Adams family's fortune to new heights, making them an indomitable force in the business world. Aaron Dante was well aware of the importance of connections in this society, and Shante saw him as a ticket to maintaining her social status. Aaron Dante's involvement with her was undoubtedly a calculated move in the complex game of Ligalian high society.

As the auditions for "The King and the Ballard" proceeded, backstage chatter and rumors about Shante's role as the Queen began to circulate.
"I heard that the Queen has been selected already and it is Shante"
"Hmm! I heard so too. My manager told me that shante's boyfriend invested a lot of money in the film with the condition that Shante be given the role of the Queen."

The news of her selection and the connection to her wealthy boyfriend, Aaron Dante, stirred both envy and intrigue among the other participants. Some aspiring actresses were envious of Shante's apparent luck and wished they had similar connections to advance their careers.

Xsmyv, on the other hand, observed this backstage conversation. With determination and talent as her allies, Xsmyv was ready to give her best during the auditions and prove herself on her own merit.

As Jesse reviewed the file containing Xsmyv's background, he found himself increasingly intrigued by the young woman's profile. He noted that she is 22 years of age, her family situation with her deceased parents, and her bedridden uncle's family. It crossed his mind that perhaps her visit to the hospital was connected to her uncle's condition.

Her aspirations as an actress and singer piqued his interest. He observed her experience in the industry, primarily in supporting roles or behind-the-scenes work, which raised the question of whether she had untapped potential. The thought that she might be more than what her past roles suggested intrigued him.

He scoffed. "she is interesting".

As Xsmyv took her turn to audition, she stepped onto the stage with determination and a passion to showcase her talent. Her presence on the platform was an unexpected surprise for Shante, who had also decided to audition with the goal of outshining her cousin in the industry. Shante was fueled by a desire to prove herself to Xsmyv, believing that she could excel and surpass her cousin in the acting world.

Shante's voice dripped with condescension as she belittled Xsmyv in front of the other hopefuls.

"I know her, she is not talented. all these years she has never won a role."

the second girl said "I think I have seen her before. is she not the girl that accepts to be a replacement for stars running late for their shoot" Shante smiled

"Yes she is the one. If she is a great actor, don't you think she would have gotten a smaller role all this while? she only gets to replace someone with her voice or acting skills. There are no notable works to her name"

The room buzzed with skepticism, and the aspiring actors and actresses cast doubtful glances in Xsmyv's direction. It was a moment of tension and rivalry, with the odds seemingly stacked against her. But Xsmyv, standing on the stage, knew that this audition was her opportunity to break free from her past roles and prove her true talent to the world.

She knew she had what it took to excel in the role of Tuyo, a character she was passionate about. As she began her audition, the entire room fell silent, captivated by her acting skills and her powerful voice. It became clear to everyone present that she was a talented and natural performer. Her captivating portrayal of Tuyo left an impression on both the director, Ernest King, and the spectators in the room. Ernest knew immediately that she is the Tuyo for the King and the Ballard.
