"A man dressed as a clown? What did he ask?" Lucien frowned, his tone full of doubts. This was a reaction from the heart rather than an actor's self-cultivation. When did he have anything to do with a clown?
However, the reason he contacted Grace in Sturk, the Pearl of the Sea, was to get in touch with Granneuve. Could anyone have begun to doubt his identity as a magician?
Grace shook her head solemnly: "I don't know who he is. Maybe he dressed up as a clown to hide his original appearance. He has a sinister temperament. Even if he just asks about ordinary things, it makes me...
I broke out in a cold sweat, my mood was on the verge of collapse, and it was difficult to have any thoughts of resistance."
"He mainly asked me how I met you, teacher, in Sturke, and how I gained your favor. He asked you to write to Master Christopher and Mr. Victor to introduce me. By the way, he also asked
Were there anyone else around you at the time, and did you have any contact with the guy who behaved strangely?"
"Because I was suppressed by the clown's aura, it seemed that if I concealed anything or didn't dare to answer, he would actually kill me, so I had to tell the story and how I pretended to be you in Sturk.
Student, how did I meet you, the teacher, at the 'Shark' restaurant, and how did you expose me as a fake student? I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, my hands and feet became weak, and I had to use the difficulties of life as an excuse. I also talked about what we said the next day.
Meeting in another restaurant and receiving your heartfelt advice and warning made me completely repent, give up my vanity and superficiality, and come to Aalto to study music."
"I know it's not good to tell these things to strangers, but I really couldn't control myself at the time. Please forgive me, teacher." Grace apologized with a guilty look on her face.
Lucien listened carefully and nodded invisibly: "The bad thing about telling strangers these things is not for me. The main reason is that you will be easily criticized after your experience of pretending to be my student to deceive the public is known by others. Since you have been like this in the past,
No one has come out to accuse you of this matter for a long time, and your piano playing has now been unanimously recognized. If it is exposed, it will only be used as a good talk. Haha, you will be a typical example of regaining the favor of the Lord after repenting.
, and I will also be praised as a musician with a broad mind, compassion and kindness, and a noble personality."
"Pfft..." Grace, who was a little uneasy, couldn't help laughing after hearing Lucien's last words.
Then she smiled and said: "Actually, I still had the last shred of reason to control myself at the time, so I hid the key point from the clown. That is, teacher, you asked me to help deliver the note to Granneuve. This is how you forgive me.
And the main reason why you gave me a chance to repent and come back is not what I told him, but because you sympathized with my family's difficulties and one night of physical entanglement..."
"Well, I deliberately added an element of lust, otherwise it would be difficult for a guy with a dark psychology like the clown to believe that there are people who are as holy and merciful as angels. In exchange for the body, the temptation of beauty will make him more convinced."
As she spoke, she looked at Lucien with roving eyes, as if observing his reaction.
Lucien said solemnly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell me directly. I just helped a friend I know get in touch with Mr. Granuve to discuss business matters. After it is over, I can't tell others.
You will ruin my reputation by using the excuse of beauty."
As long as Viscount Wright is still there, and as long as Granneuve's identity is not exposed, even if Grace tells the story in detail, it will have no impact on herself. When she was asked to keep it secret, it was mainly Granneuve who was targeted.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Evans. It's because I have a dark mind. I felt that you told me to hide it because you didn't want others to know, so I tried my best to lie to make up for it." Grace apologized guiltily and fearfully.
Lucien showed a kind expression: "Okay, Grace, don't blame yourself, I can understand your feelings of defense, just don't do this again in the future."
"Teacher, you are indeed a musician with a broad mind, compassion and kindness, and a noble personality." Seeing that Lucien did not accuse, Grace relaxed and borrowed Lucien's own words humorously and cleverly, "Okay, I have to
Hurry back to the living room, otherwise they will really think we have something..."
As he watched Gloria leave the corridor where the bathroom was located, Lucien showed a trace of his signature "gentle and calm" smile.
In Lucien's perception, Grace has never been a strong-willed person. On the contrary, apart from some talents in music and piano, she is a very ordinary beautiful girl with vanity, weakness and musical dreams.
You can work hard for it, but it's hard to resist the temptation.
Such a girl relied on wit, adaptability and determination to hide key information under the questioning of a strong man who was probably a knight. Lucien didn't quite believe it, especially since he was not her relative and was not the most important thing in her heart.
As a person, when she is overwhelmed by momentum and controlled mentally, it is impossible for her to wake up due to the extreme resistance in her subconscious.
Do you want to believe that after only meeting a few times, Grace fell deeply in love with him in her heart out of admiration and gratitude, and it lasted longer than her life?
Do not make jokes!
Entering the bathroom, Lucien did familiar things as if he was not affected by anything, but he was guessing about the clown's identity in his heart: "Night watch? Investigators of the Pale Hand? Remaining personnel of the Silver Horn? Principality
intelligence officer?"
"Why did they suddenly investigate themselves? And it was only after Grace arrived in Alto that they conducted the investigation? Well, from this point of view, the investigators of the Pale Hand can be ruled out..."
"The intelligence department of the principality has been purged and is under Natasha's control. She also knows my whereabouts and things. There is no need to question Grace, and there is no need to send someone to investigate the musician Lucien Evans."
"The remaining two must have bad intentions. Most of them think that I have a close relationship with the magician and the professor. When did they become suspicious? The matter of the Death Feast should only be limited to the Necromancer and Karen.
Viscount Dia knows..."
Lucien reviewed and analyzed bit by bit: "But they should just be suspicious without any definite evidence, otherwise the Night Watch will come directly to the door, and the Silver Horn will retaliate without any scruples and publicize it."
Wiping his hands with the tissue next to him, Lucien temporarily suppressed many thoughts and returned to the hall.
…………
Delicious and enjoyable lunch time.
"Lucien, apart from the two piano sonatas "Moonlight" and "The Tempest", have you created any other works in the past few years? I think so much folk music must have given you a lot of inspiration." Victor swallowed.
After eating the veal steak, he took a sip of red wine and asked with a smile, "I think everyone is as curious and looking forward to it as I am."
As if echoing his words, Joel, Phyllis, Alyssa and others all looked at Lucien with sharp eyes. Only Alvin maintained the dining etiquette very restrainedly.
"Actually, there are two symphony works. One is almost completed. All it needs is final adjustments and more practice according to the performance of the orchestra. However, it is inspired by folk music, and its structure is freer than before. Maybe it will
Being severely criticized." Lucien answered while thinking about the clown.
After the exchange before lunch, Phyllis and Lucien became familiar with each other again, so she smiled slightly curiously: "Lucien, among your many titles, you have the title of 'changer'. Bold changes, new directions.
, isn’t a freer structure what we should have expected from the beginning?”
Compared with three years ago, she is much less aristocratic and arrogant, and her words are much more humorous.
"Yes, little Evans, I can't wait now. Your Aunt Alisa and I grew up in the southern part of the Principality of Violet. When we were bards, we went to only a limited number of places. Later, when we came to Alto, we visited even more places.
I have never left, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact with unique music that is not so famous in other places. I can only rely on bards to indirectly understand it." When talking about music, Joel was happy from the bottom of his heart, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of excitement and joy.
happy.
As an ordinary musician, Elena still maintained her past politeness and politeness in front of Victor and Phyllis. After everyone talked about it, she smiled sweetly: "Lucien, your other work
What? Will you hold a 'comeback concert' after it's completed?"
As long as Lucien, a top-notch famous musician, thinks about it, the chant hall will always be free.
Everyone's eyes focused on Lucien's face again, and even Alvin couldn't help but look over curiously. This was something he could show off to his friends!
"It's basically completed, but some of the final ideas haven't been implemented yet, so it will take a certain amount of time. If everything goes well, it will take about two to three... weeks." Lucien almost habitually said weeks, but because of the clown's incident,
I became quite wary in my heart, noticed this, and forcibly turned around.
"That's great. I don't know how many people are looking forward to your second concert, teacher." Grace looked very excited.
Victor, Joel and others all smiled and nodded, expressing their expectations.
After this lunch, the news that the talented musician Lucien Evans would hold a "return concert" within a month quickly spread throughout the Musicians Association and throughout the streets of Aalto.
………….
Saying goodbye to Elena, who was traveling with her, Grace walked into the garden villa she rented in Jisu District - in Sturk, she had saved a lot of money.
Ignoring the servants' salutes, she returned to the bedroom a little eagerly.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, Grace collapsed on the bed, and the black threads on her body that were so thin that they were almost invisible receded like a tide.
After a while, Grace left the big bed and said to herself in confusion: "Why are you so tired today? Is it because you were too excited after meeting Teacher Evans? And why did I use that expression and eyes with Evan?"
Teacher Si is talking? I have been thinking about seducing him? No, I admire him but I am afraid of him, just like facing an elder..."
…………
Inside a certain house.
A funny clown's smiling face suddenly took a few breaths. The previous remote control and long-term control were too energy-consuming.
"Captain, did you detect anything?" A soft female voice asked a little eagerly. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
