Because he was not officially a knight, there were no complicated etiquettes. Lucien thanked Natasha with knighthood, and Natasha put her sword on Lucien's shoulder and said solemnly and solemnly:
"May your sword protect your will."
After doing all this, Lucien solemnly accepted the "Vigilance" given by Natasha. It was a "ceremonial" long sword with gorgeous decoration but an ordinary blade.
"Following" Natasha's instructions, Lucien successfully used his will to leave his own aura on "Vigilance", knowing that this long sword is not as fancy and fragile as it looks. It has an attack equivalent to that of an ordinary first-level knight.
It has strong power, and also improves intuition to the level of a second-level knight. It is a very good "extraordinary" long sword.
Magic long swords and enchanted long sword weapons, as magicians are accustomed to call them, are extraordinary weapons in the mouths of nobles and priests. These weapons do not need to be imprinted on the center like magic items and magical items. After getting them, simply
You can use it by leaving your own breath, but some weapons will exclude certain types of users based on the forger's restrictions.
After putting on the long sword, Lucien stood up to say goodbye. Looking at his leaving figure, Natasha suddenly chuckled and said to Camille: "Although he wants to keep it secret, I remembered that Sylvia also received Feli
Phyllis’ invitation. Alas, I haven’t seen Felice for a long time.”

Since it was her birthday party in the evening, Phyllis took the afternoon off and did not come to Victor's house to study.
"This is Phyllis' eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, so many guests were invited, including nobles with titles close to the Hayne family, as well as all the musicians and famous musicians in the association." Lott talked with him during the break.
Lucien chatted.
Lucien asked in a relaxed mood: "What a grand birthday party. I wonder how many invited guests will come in the end?"
Herodotus, who was quiet next to him, glanced at Lucien lightly: "Most of the musicians in the association, as long as they are in Aalto, will participate, because someone will play a newly composed serenade as a birthday gift. Everyone will
I am very curious to see what kind of works this musical genius can write after more than a month of silence."
After the concert at the Psalm Hall, Victor strictly protected Lucien and did not allow him to accept invitations to various banquets, salons, and parties. He even declined to be a guest at a certain concert, fearing that he would leave too soon.
Being famous and addicted to these things, but in this way, the low-key and mysterious musical genius Lucien has made everyone even more curious, not to mention the many malicious people inside.
"Nobles with titles also depend on the attitude of Earl Hain. According to the rules of the Hain family, when every direct member of the family reaches adulthood, the head of the family must personally host the banquet. I wonder if Earl Hain will find a reason not to come this time.
." Lott said uncertainly, and then changed the subject: "Actually, we are also very curious about your serenade, Lucien."
After having his own exclusive lounge and piano room in the villa, Lucien's "creation" became quiet.
Lucien smiled and shook his head: "It's only a few hours away."
…………
In the evening, Lucien got on the carriage he hired and arrived outside Phyllis' house in the aristocratic district.
Carriages have parked in the empty space opposite, and the three-story villa with rich decorations and full of Trian palace style is brightly lit, majestic and beautiful.
The villa itself was built by the old count to hold banquets.
After entering the gate, walking through the garden, walking up the steps, and stepping on the neat stone tiles, Lucien arrived at the door of the hall.
Phyllis put on a family-style red palace dress with a raised skirt, elegant and dignified, and greeted the guests accompanied by her mother.
Seeing Lucien coming, Phyllis smiled sweetly and said sincerely: "Thank you for coming, Lucien. Because of you, many musicians came to the banquet, including President Christopher."
"The main thing is your identity." Lucien took Felice's hand and kissed the back of it.
Phyllis's mother looks very similar to her, with the same plump lips and bright appearance, but her hair is the most common brown color. She said enthusiastically: "We welcome our musical genius. The entire Alto aristocratic circle is eager to welcome us."
to discuss you."
Because there were so many guests, Lucien walked in after exchanging a few words with Phyllis and her daughter.
The layout of the hall, the arrangement of tables, food, flowers, etc. are basically the same as the last dance, which is the unique style of Phyllis's family.
There were already many guests inside. They were holding tall wine glasses, walking back and forth and communicating, never missing any opportunity to socialize.
"Hi, Evans." As they walked, many people greeted Lucien. They all belonged to the Musicians Association. Some were famous or ordinary musicians, and some had only written one or two pieces of music and had not yet been recognized.
Among the newcomers, there are those who are already excellent musicians but are preparing to develop into musicians.
Their expressions are different, some are curious, some are expecting, some are fake smiles, some are perfunctory, and some are meaningful.
What kind of serenade will the man who is known as the most outstanding and transformative musical genius come up with?
Serenade styles for salons and banquets are more difficult to write than serenades that describe love or express quiet and beautiful artistic conception. Its style and subject matter limit it to such vulgar occasions, and it cannot be included in music.
Will wait for the elegant stage.
"It's probably just a piece of fun and congratulation. Don't expect too much." Many older musicians gathered around the old but beardless Christopher, discussing their opinions on Lucien's work.
Others who did not speak were thinking quietly: "But this can be used to accuse him of being degenerate and intoxicated with the reputation of a genius."
Christopher nodded to Lucien who was looking over, and at the same time smiled kindly at the musicians around him: "Give young people more space and don't criticize them too harshly. At this age, failure in harvesting is normal.
, Failure can give them more wealth. Of course, this age is also the time when creation is the most unfettered and inspiration is the most flowing and free. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises?"
When Lucien came over, the dozen or so musicians stopped talking about music creation. Lucien took a glass of water from the waiter who passed by with a tray, and spoke quietly with humility and respect.
Listen to their discussion.
This made the elders quite satisfied. At least Lucien was not the kind of young man who would be arrogant and disrespectful after he had become talented and famous.
Not long after, Victor, Lott, Rhine and others also arrived one by one.
…………
As time passed by, the joyful atmosphere in the banquet gradually solidified, and the musicians stopped discussing. It was already half past seven, and Earl Hain hadn't come yet!
Phyllis's father Urban, a middle-aged red-haired man with a beautiful mustache, also stood nervously at the door, thinking with an ugly face: "Has Scott not forgotten the past? But this
It’s a junior’s birthday party, how can you be so stingy and narrow-minded!”
If Earl Hayne did not appear on this occasion, it would have a great impact on Phyllis's reputation in the aristocratic circle.
After another ten minutes, just when Phyllis was wringing her hands together again, Earl Hain's butler finally arrived and said politely but expressionlessly: "The Earl is sick and cannot come to the banquet. Please come to the banquet."
Mr. Urban, you can preside over it yourself."
Urbain's face was ashen and he was so angry that he could not speak, while Phyllis and her mother had pale faces and seemed to be out of breath.
Many nobles with titles who were closely related to the Hain family were waiting for Earl Hain's attitude. Therefore, many servants ran out of the darkness near the villa and returned to their respective villas to report.
Fortunately, Urbain was the clerk of the city hall and held considerable real power. For some other reasons, some minor nobles arrived one after another without being affected.
Taking two deep breaths, Urban signaled Phyllis and the others not to be affected and continue to welcome the guests.
"It's really unfortunate that a member who is disliked by the head of the family and an earl will have a difficult time no matter what path he takes in the future unless he can inspire his bloodline." Komots, a musician sponsored by Earl Hain, pointed out.
He looked at Lucien and said.
Lucien pretended not to understand: "I think as long as you have talent and are willing to work hard and endure hardship, and never give up in the face of difficulties, you will definitely be able to find your own path."
The sound was a bit loud and spread far in the depressingly quiet hall.
After Phyllis heard vaguely, she clenched her fists and her expression became determined. Even a poor man like Lucien could succeed, so why couldn't she dream and work hard?
The atmosphere slowly recovered, and Director Othello came over with McCants and three strangers whom Lucien didn't know.
McCants first said hello to Christopher and other musicians, and then introduced on behalf of his teacher: "These three are musicians from Tria. They saw the Symphony of Destiny from Music Review and Symphony Herald.
After reading the music score and relevant comments, I was very curious and admired the talented musician who created this great work, so I made a special trip to Alto. When I heard that Lucien was here, I begged the teacher to bring them in."
"This is Mr. Clément, this is Mr. Barre, and this is Mr. Julien."
These three musicians from Tria are all young, about in their twenties. Their long-term exposure to music makes them look very good. Coupled with decent clothes, their appearance makes people look very comfortable, and at the same time they are full of energy.
The vitality and enthusiasm of young people.
"I remember your teacher François mentioned you in the letter to me, saying that you are rare geniuses. Haha, I have read all the works you created, and they are very good." Christopher listened.
After hearing the names, I remembered their origins.
François, a native of the Kingdom of Syracuse, went to Alto to study music as a boy. He became a famous musician before he was thirty. He returned to his hometown a few years ago and served as the chief music adviser to the royal family.
The three young musicians respectfully said hello to the "living music legend" Christopher.
Then, McCants pointed at Lucien maliciously: "This is the talented musician Lucien Evans who composed the Symphony of Destiny. He will give the host of the banquet a newly composed serenade tonight."
As a birthday present.”
"Serenade? I also have a newly composed serenade, which I will give to the beautiful Miss Phyllis together. Haha, just treat it as an apology and birthday gift for visiting unexpectedly." Julian, with black hair and brown eyes, is the oldest of the three.
Talented, popular, but also the most unruly and impulsive, and McCants seems to be familiar with him.
Just as Lucien was about to reply, the noise suddenly quieted down near the door, and the "Vigilance" sword he was wearing allowed Lucien to intuitively sense a familiar aura.
Looking back, through the crowd, Lucien saw a carriage stopped in front of the steps. A handsome purple-haired beauty wearing a white knight's uniform and black riding boots was slowly walking to the door. Her left hand was
Armed with a gentle girl wearing an elegant long dress, the posture of the two peerless beauties stunned everyone, while Camille quietly followed behind.
"Your Highness?!" Phyllis exclaimed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
