Early in the morning, a high-end hotel in Nolan District.
Lucien sent Leo to rest in the next room early, and told him not to be surprised if he heard any movement here tonight.
After meeting Natasha, Lucien believed that with her identity and status as Countess Violet, and her strength as a Sky Knight, as long as he didn't deliberately hide, she would be able to easily find him in Alto City.
Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Lucien sat leisurely on the sofa, but did not drink it. He just shook it gently and recalled the past events from the bright red ripples.
This is the "Bern" wine produced in the Phyllis family manor. It can basically only be tasted at banquets and dances held by her family. However, this hotel is inextricably linked to the Hayne family, so it is
A few bottles, as a gimmick to attract some wealthy businessmen.
Bang, bang, bang, a clear and rhythmic knock on the window came. Lucien turned around with a smile, and sure enough he saw Natasha, who had changed into a lavender palace dress, appearing on the balcony. Behind her, without exception, was an elegant and serious black man.
Skirt Camille.
Sure enough, it was the Heavenly Knight. Even though I had been waiting for her, paying attention to the window and the door, I only realized it after she came to the balcony. Lucien felt something in his heart, put down the "Bern" wine, and walked to the window.
He opened the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Good evening, Lucien." Natasha greeted in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and then said with a smile, "The silver moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight. I wonder if you are interested in taking a walk and admiring the moon together?"
Lucien laughed out loud: "You are really..."
A simple joke about the past suddenly made the estrangement that had lasted for several years disappear.
Perhaps because she has advanced to become a Sky Knight, Natasha's appearance has almost not changed. She is still the brightest and most beautiful appearance in her twenties, with both maturity and vitality. However, her temperament is much calmer than before.
He has always looked like a powerful aristocrat.
"You haven't changed much..."
"You have matured a lot. You are more like a man..."
Lucien and Natasha spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, showing the tacit understanding of good friends.
"Good evening, Your Royal Highness, good evening, Ms. Camille." After smiling, Lucien greeted Camille, who was following Natasha like a shadow.
After seeing the power of "Withering Shadow" Count Witte, Lucien felt the terror of this "Dark Blue Tide".
Camille nodded slightly in return and continued to follow Natasha quietly.
Natasha opened her slender legs with astonishing beauty and power. She sat on the sofa as freely and unrestrainedly as if she were in the "War Gallery" of Lata Summer Palace. Then she raised her purple eyebrows and looked at Lucien carefully: "
Although Lucien, you are quite good like this, but I still prefer your original appearance, with black hair and eyes, handsome and beautiful."
"Why do you feel like you are describing a lady?" Lucien joked without restraint. In fact, when he traveled back in time, his appearance could only be considered pretty. But as he learned music, he experienced various dangerous experiences and his temperament changed.
He became quiet and calm, elegant and calm, which made his appearance more attractive. Later, he inspired the moonlight bloodline, and he was still underage at the time, so he gradually became more handsome, but compared with naturally handsome men like Lain and others, he still has some
Not a small gap.
Natasha laughed twice, and then said quite proudly: "After I came out of the bottom floor of the monastery, I was thinking that you might have returned to Alto. Even if you hadn't, you would definitely come back within two or three months. Because I was worried that you couldn't find it.
Opportunity met me, so I estimated the approximate time when tourists from the northern Tilan Province would enter the city, and then made a round trip to the manor according to the time every day. This way, even if you don't happen to meet me, you can still get there after a little inquiry.
Go to the road I passed and wait at that time. Haha, who knew that I could directly sense your familiar aura Lucien at the city gate today."
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she was triumphant, showing off her "foresight" and her good intentions towards her good friends without any shyness or concealment.
"Actually, I was worried about how I would meet you, Natasha. I also thought about collecting information about you like an assassin, and then sneaking in front of you." Lucien talked about his worries at the time with a gentle smile.
Looking at Natasha, "But the problem has been solved by you, Princess..."
When she was far away, Natasha's eyes were still dreamy purple, but when she was so close, Lucien could see the faint silvery purple under her purple eyes, which were crystal clear, deep and charming, as if he could
Devouring the human heart. It seems that after three years of life as an ascetic monk, she has completely mastered the power of blood.
Natasha became even happier after receiving affirmative praise, and asked Lucien enthusiastically about his experiences in Arlinge, in the Kingdom of Holm, and during his journey.
Due to the collapse of the Grand Cross Star Mystery Lock, Natasha must have known about the existence of the Necronomicon, but she probably regarded it as an ordinary undead alien space like most people who knew it, so Lucien concealed his involvement.
Some of the encounters with the important secrets of the undead world, the truth about Miller's experiment, and the existence of the library are all described in the letter, both mentioned and not mentioned.
It must be said that Natasha was a very good listener. She could ask and echo questions appropriately, and casually talked about her own experiences, which made Lucien talk very passionately until late at night.
Regarding Lucien's experience, Natasha had expressed a lot of opinions while listening. At this time, she said with a strange expression: "Lucien, you don't seem to have talked about your emotional experience? Could it be that in Aline, in
In a place where you can learn magic openly, you haven't started a sweet love? Such a life is very lacking!"
"Because I have just arrived in Arlinge. I have to make up for my arcane foundation and improve my magic strength. I have no time to pursue women. I am too busy. Well, I am really too busy. I should do it in the future." Lucien was a little embarrassed.
to answer.
Natasha stretched out her right hand and rubbed her white chin, still with the same strange expression: "It's not consistent with common sense! I remember that the girls in Arlinge are generally higher than Rentat and Alto.
.Lucien, you are young and outstanding, your magic power is very strong compared to your age, and your arcane skills are even more terrifying. You are the youngest Holm Crown Award winner, so no matter how busy you are, there should be a girl who takes the initiative to show your kindness to you.
Could it be. Could it be that you actually like men?"
She thought about things according to her own tendencies.
"How is that possible? I'm really too busy!" Lucien emphasized, "In Aline, there were indeed a few girls who hinted at it, but I really have no feelings for them. I would rather not have such a thing than to mess around with it.
That’s okay!”
Natasha left her chin with her right hand, patted the shoulder of Lucien, who was sitting opposite, and said sincerely: "It's okay. I understand, and I won't discriminate against you."
"Really not, Princess, please don't think wrongly..." Lucien estimated that Natasha had already weaved a "singing and tearful love story" in her heart. He denied it repeatedly, a little helplessly.
Natasha laughed twice, like a fox that had stolen a chick. Then she wisely changed the subject and asked doubtfully: "Why would a certain Excellency let you deliver a message to the Dark Mountains? Needless to say, it's dangerous.
Well, isn’t this a waste of time? With the ability of the legendary magician and jumping through the starry sky, it only takes afternoon tea time to reach the depths of the Dark Mountains from Alinge..."
She has a close relationship with the Grand Arcanist Hathaway. Her knowledge in this area is much greater than that of Lucien.
"I have always wondered, maybe there are other reasons. For example, the Nightmare King is worried about the impact of modern arcane theory, so he refuses to see magicians above the intermediate level..." Lucien guessed.
Natasha frowned and thought for a while: "It's hard to say. But don't worry, Lucien. The Magic Council will definitely not let a young arcanist like you with amazing potential really die in the Dark Mountains. Neither will the legendary magician."
Maybe they are deliberately trying to deal with you."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the wall clock and suddenly laughed, making the whole room feel bright: "It's almost five o'clock, and we have been chatting for so long that I even forgot to welcome you back."
So, she stood up, patted her palace dress, and showed a beautiful smile: "Welcome back, my knight!"
Lucien also smiled and took Natasha's right hand, kissing the back of the hand gently with the etiquette of a knight: "Nice to see you again, Your Highness Princess."
After advancing to the Sky Knight, Natasha's hands became whiter and more delicate than before, complementing her slender and beautiful shape, and her strength was completely restrained.
Natasha waited quietly until Lucien finished the knight's salute, then smiled humorously: "My knight, have you also forgotten something?"
"Yes." Lucien rubbed his forehead, "What I wanted to ask at the beginning was, has my identity as a musician been exposed by the church? John, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, little Alvin, Irene
How are they doing now?"
Natasha said "Wow": "So many questions, I have to answer them slowly."
"From what I heard inside the Holy City, after you won the Holm Crown Award, your appearance, age, and strength have all been collected by the church. However, the continuous experimental impact at that time diverted the church's attention.
You are not 'enough' to enter the purification sequence, so you are not wanted across the continent and have not been issued to the Violet Diocese. There is no possibility of being exposed in a short period of time."
She learned about Miller's experiment from Lucien's letter, and she was confused for a long time. However, before the church re-explained the revised version of the "God-given Life" theory, she had calmed down, and her piety seemed to remain the same.
Then Natasha said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, Lucien, I was wrong in my prediction."
"Huh?" Lucien looked at Natasha doubtfully.
Natasha continued seriously: "I suggested that you retain your identity as a musician because I want you to have an upright identity that can travel across the mainland for a long time. But I didn't expect that you would win the Holm Crown Award so quickly.
It's really unexpected. In this way, the identity of a musician becomes a burden on you, so find an opportunity, such as after a brilliant concert, to let the identity of a musician die. This is better than traveling and disappearing outside.
Make your friends and people who like you feel better."
"I have no regrets about my identity as a musician, but if I fake my death, it will make Uncle Joel and John sad. And in the future, as I enter the purification sequence, sooner or later the church will connect me with the dead musician, and I will be sad for them."
John and the others are at a disadvantage." Lucien expressed his confusion and worry.
Natasha smiled slightly and said: "Friends can hide it, but relatives can't. Because as Lucien said, as you grow up, the church will discover this sooner or later, which may endanger your relatives. Haha, by then
You can hold concerts in Holm. So, just tell them you are a magician, see their reaction, and invite them to settle in Holm."
Neither Lucien nor Natasha ever doubted the possibility of him entering the purification sequence.
"It would be best if they can accept your identity and invitation. If they cannot accept it, or they can accept your identity but are unwilling to leave Alto, then I will 'watch' them and let them go to church after you leave.
Report that you are a magician, and pretend to sever ties with you, or even become an enemy. In this way, and with my mediation, you will not endanger them because you are a magician." When speaking, Natasha
Her temperament has become increasingly calm and reserved, hard to see through, like a real Grand Duchess.
"This is really a cruel method." Lucien said with emotion.
Natasha maintained a decisive smile and said: "Sometimes, cruelty is also a kind of tenderness."
"Natasha, you are becoming more and more like a philosopher." Lucien joked to resolve his complicated mood.
Natasha sighed inaudibly and laughed at herself: "Everyone who is lovelorn is a philosopher."
