Please behave My Lord

Chapter 262: Being innate

When the applause stopped, Diana smiled, looked at the two designs on the round table and spoke softly.

-Obviously, both embody the theme of "Eternal Life on Fire", but in my opinion, I prefer the one on the left, which has a great black design with an elaborate puffed hem and a tight bow over the top, very minimalistic, but manages to bring out the red more.

After a pause, Diana continued:

-The transition from black to red is more appreciated and gives a sense of vibrancy, so my vote is for this one!

With that said, Diana held up the sign in her hand.

-Thank you, Diana, while our four mentors are making their selections, the votes in the room have also been counted, so who will really come out on top? Let's watch the big screen!

The audience's eyes fell behind them and watched the numbers change on the screen. The music seemed powerful, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Finally, the numbers on the screen stopped, Mariana took a quick glance and saw that the design on the left with the black background and red inlay had won.

However, although the results had been published, the presenter did not announce the winner to prevent the judges from mentioning to whom the remaining works belonged, and only the owners of the two designs now knew the result.

With slightly trembling eyes, Mariana stood looking straight ahead, waiting, as the camera panned and watched the design she was competing with.

Time was ticking, it was very late, but the program was still being recorded and finally, after a brief pause, the judges were back in their seats, preparing for the last set of competitions.

The last group was Mariana and another designer.

With a heavy heart, Mariana was more than nervous and waited for the judges to judge her.

-Well, now it's time for our last group, who will win?

The two designs were then pushed in front of the crowd.

-You have 10 minutes to consider and vote.

When the ten minutes were up, the presenter smiled and said:

-Now that we have collected the votes of the one hundred and eleven judges, let's let our four mentors make their comments.

The camera settled on Maria, whose eyes rested on Mariana's design. Her gaze was filled with admiration and she nodded affectionately.

-The theme is "Rebirth after the disaster", you should notice that although they are divided into 4 groups, the themes of these 4 groups are very similar, but what surprises us today is that even with these slight differences, they were all innovative.

After a pause, Maria looked intently at the two designs on stage and spoke quietly.

-The design on the left is very bold and original, I think he quoted the Chinese legend about love, in which the two lovers turn into butterflies after death, and the suit has two golden butterflies on the shoulders, showing a strong spirit.

With smiling eyes, Maria nodded gratefully.

-Moreover, it does not just tell the tragic end of this love legend, but focuses on the depiction of the lovers turning into butterflies after death and getting back together, with disaster and rebirth, which is very much in line with the theme. But, probably this designer is still young, the moral of this work also remains only on the surface and pride is its flaw.

With these words, the more than 100 judges seated behind the four mentors could not help but nod in agreement.

This contestant was very talented, but also arrogant. By looking at a design, they could understand the character and inner emotions of the designer.

-Maria's comments are always direct, what do you think of the work on the right?

Maria smiled softly, she was even a little touched, and then stood up.

-I have to say that although these two works have the same theme, they are completely different in their design approach. One thoroughly analyzes your inner thoughts in front of everyone, while the other also analyzes itself, but hides it all euphemistically in its design, it's as if you are given a question and made to actively pursue it to find its answer.

Hearing these words, Diana also couldn't help but look away from the design on the right, her eyebrows furrowed in some contemplation.

-To be honest, I really like the design on the right, as you may have noticed, I love Chinese dresses, and this piece is also a Chinese dress, but not so traditional, it is white, like a pure spirit, or a kind angel, or like wings, when you see it for the first time, you will naturally have a lot of fantasies.

Maria stretched out her hand, trying to put into words the exact emotions she felt inside.

Maria felt that her words were too long, but if she didn't say them, she wouldn't be able to express what she really thought.

-It does not show the Renaissance after the disaster on the surface of the design, but it is hidden in the design, which is a wonderful feeling. It's not about love or any kind of emotion in the world, it's as if all emotions are included in the subject.

Maria smiled and spoke earnestly.

-In fact, seeing this work, I would like to meet this excellent designer, so I finally decided which one to give my vote to!

The previous six works had not received so much praise from Maria, as if everything was hidden beneath a calm surface, but they did not expect this latest group to make Maria so excited, especially the last work.

For a moment, everyone looked at the piece on the far right, and it was as if an exquisite image had appeared in their minds.

It was as if the scene was the aftermath of an earthquake. The former beauty was gone and the place was in ruins, yet the sky was still blue, the trees were still green and the murky river was becoming clear again.

Then, day by day, as nature transformed, the ruins faded away, creating a different kind of beauty.

It was life and the future.

There was thunderous applause, and the faces of the audience were filled with emotion.

The applause was not only for Maria's comments, but also for the impressive design.

Maria sat back down with a smile and looked around the room with some bewilderment.

Actually, that was not his first impression when he saw the piece, there was another meaning that he did not reveal.

The designer wanted to use this design to apologize and pay tribute to him, this design idea had also arisen from the events of the last two days.

"You surprised me Mariana!"

At first, Maria helped Mariana because of Mrs. Perez, but now she was surprised by her talent.

She was still so young, but she had so many feelings and accomplishments, she would outgrow it before long.

After the applause, the other three tutors, including Diana, also commented and voted, and naturally, Mariana's piece won in the end.

-Now the voting is over, we're all curious to see who owns these eight works. The one that has drawn the most attention is the eighth piece next to me, so let's reveal the owner of this work!

The pace of the music became much faster again and the audience looked to where the designer would exit.

At this point, even Diana's interest increased a little, she wanted to know who he was.

Having received praise from Mary, he naturally had no objection and followed her example, voting for number 8.

-Let's invite the designer on stage!

The door slowly opened and beams of light shot out from behind it, illuminating the woman in the center, making her face so dark that the crowd could not make her out at first glance. Everyone present waited with bated breath, as Mary sat back in her seat, her eyes smiling as she gazed idly at the figure.

Soon, the slender figure slowly emerged from the blinding light and came into view, revealing his true face to the masses. The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then several shouts of surprise rang out.
