Natasha stopped in front of Phyllis and smiled humorously: "Aren't you welcome to me? I was originally a guest at Sylvia's house, and I accidentally learned that she was coming to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, so I thought that the old count was still alive.
At that time, I often visited this villa and the Bern Manor. Haha, Phyllis, you were so short and young at that time, and you desperately wanted to follow me, brother Alfred, uncle Samuel and Harrington.
When hunting, you always fall down and cannot catch up. You can only cry loudly. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you are already so tall and grown up. Brother Alfred and Uncle Samuel saw this in heaven.
This scene will definitely make you very happy."
Alfred is the eldest son of Archduke Violet and the brother of Natasha. He is also a genius who became a fifth-level knight in his twenties. Samuel is the brother of the current Earl of Hain and Urban.
The most legitimate and deserving heirs to the title, they all died in a battle with the Heretic Knights nearly ten years ago.
Natasha, who only wanted to join in the fun and satisfy her curiosity, saw Phyllis, which brought back memories of her youth. She thought that in ten years, after hard training, she finally transformed from a
The little girl became a real warrior, but her relatives were continuously called by the Lord, and she was gradually drifting away from her former partners, which made her feel sad and palpitating.
Phyllis was originally in a state of great disappointment, frustration, sadness and anger. She just forced a smile to welcome the guests. At this time, she was shocked by Natasha's arrival. When she heard her warm words full of emotion, she couldn't control herself.
, tears welled up: "Of course you are welcome, you are very welcome, sister Natasha, no, your highness the princess."
She subconsciously called out her childhood title.
Natasha gave Phyllis a hug: "It doesn't matter, just call me sister Natasha. My childhood was always filled with the best memories of my life. Happy birthday, Phyllis, congratulations on becoming a real lady."
The atmosphere was warm and slightly sentimental, which made people feel calm. Only then did Lucien understand why Urban could still be the clerk of the Alto City Hall and still have a job even though he was so disgusted by Count Haine.
There were many minor nobles who interacted with each other, and Phyllis also became good friends with Yvette, the favorite daughter of Earl Hill. Alfred and Natasha should have been with Samuel, Urban, Harrington, and Felice back then.
Liz is very friendly.
Natasha let go of Phyllis and looked at her tears of excitement, joy and sentimentality. She smiled slightly and said: "Okay, Phyllis, don't cry. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. Tears are not suitable for decorating your beautiful face."
Face, be happy, be happy, do you understand? I will host your coming-of-age ceremony." As a high knight, she knew with one glance that Earl Hain had not arrived, and understood the reason.
"Well, I will definitely hold a birthday party happily." Phyllis tried to control her tears and answered with laughter and tears. The future Grand Duchess and the current Countess Violet hosted her coming-of-age ceremony. That was Hain.
Can the Count compare?
Seeing her like this, Natasha tried to lighten the atmosphere with humorous words: "I didn't bring a birthday gift, do you mind, Phyllis?"
"How come, your coming is the best birthday gift." Phyllis hugged Natasha again. Her timely arrival, warm embrace, and soft comfort are so beautiful, full of the feeling of a big sister or brother.
Feel.
Natasha waited for Phyllis to let go of her own accord, then pointed to Lucien inside and said, "But my music consultant will definitely bring you beautiful, joyful music, so that you can forget your troubles and immerse yourself in the coming-of-age ceremony."
In happiness."
She cursed softly in her heart: "Asshole, I came here just because I was curious about your serenade. As a result, I fell into such a mood and almost shed tears. How could a great and strong knight shed tears, so I want to give it to you
pressure……"
Due to what happened in the "Silver Corner" last time, a lot of the unfamiliarity between Natasha and Lucien has disappeared. In addition, Natasha has a humorous, direct and teasing personality, and Lucien is not afraid of stage fright.
"normal" response, the two became more and more like friends.
After being mentioned in public by Natasha, all eyes were focused on Lucien. Since many of the musicians were from nobles themselves or were sponsored by nobles, most people already knew that Lucien could play.
A new serenade congratulated Phyllis on her birthday, and soft conversation began.
Her Royal Highness is looking forward to it so much. If it is not above the normal level, then this work will be a failure!
"Welcome, Her Royal Highness Princess, Ms. Camille, Ms. Sylvia." Urban seemed to have a flower blooming on his face, and while gesturing to Phyllis to stop being excited, he welcomed Natasha in.
When they arrived at the hall, Sylvia came directly to the circle of musicians, while Natasha reluctantly greeted the nobles, no matter their title was high or low, no matter their strength was strong or weak, as long as they had
As a noble, as their lord, the most basic etiquette is still required.
As Sylvia walked closer, her face turned redder, and her whole body became more shy and delicate. This was the first time that she and Natasha attended a banquet in this way, and it was inevitable that she would have this reaction when facing many acquaintances.
"Good evening, teacher, you arrived so early." Sylvia said hello to Christopher. She is a disciple of this "living music legend".
Christopher sighed softly, not demanding anything. People in the music industry are relatively accepting of this aspect. He simply said with concern: "Sylvia, think more about the future. Okay, you
Don’t you want to arrange piano music? There are several piano ‘authorities’ here, please communicate more.”
His "authority" refers to Victor, Rhine and Lucien, who appreciate the new fingering method of playing the piano. However, Sylvia was previously limited to the fact that the harpsichord instrument she was good at was only suitable for indoors and could only be played on the piano.
She played it in the room or salon, so even though she composed many elegant, quiet and beautiful pieces of music, she never held a concert in the Psalm Hall. The appearance of the piano gave her hope, and she planned to change some of the pieces to suit the piano.
Make preparations later.
Natasha had told Lucien about this, so Lucien had no doubts at this time. He communicated with Sylvia seriously and seriously about the arrangement of piano music and piano fingering, which eased her shy mood.
Julian and other musicians from the Tria court were forgotten by Lucien. They wanted to interrupt several times, but they knew little about the piano and could not join in the exchange. Others were not enthusiastic about them and did not care about them at all.
They treat them as musical geniuses because this is Aalto and because they did not become famous in Aalto.
Such an attitude made the three Julians feel the arrogance of outsiders in the Alto music industry, and they felt insulted.
McCants watched their expressions change and smiled with satisfaction.
…………
Since Natasha came to preside over Phyllis' coming-of-age ceremony, many nobles rushed over after being notified, causing the banquet originally scheduled to start at eight o'clock to be delayed until eight-thirty.
Earl Hain was very angry. Since he was pretending to be ill, he should pretend to be sick. Anyway, for a big noble like him, as long as he is not charged with blasphemy, treason, rebellion, etc., even if he offends the Grand Duke, he can still live a luxurious life in his own territory.
A noble life, at most far away from the political stage of the principality and deprived of the control of the indirect knights, but Harrington came to attend the banquet for a reason well known to everyone.
The coming-of-age ceremony was not complicated. Natasha took a flaming flower from Phyllis's mother, put it on Phyllis's left breast together with the coat of arms of the Hayne family, and then delivered a brief congratulatory speech.
Then, she extended her hand to invite Phyllis, and the opening dance of the birthday party was the last part of the coming-of-age ceremony.
In the festive and happy melody, two beauties danced gracefully. Natasha was a fifth-level knight. Her strength, agility and coordination were far superior to Phyllis's, and she led her in the best dance of her life.
After the opening dance, Phyllis was breathing lightly beside her, while Natasha was waiting calmly, because according to the procedure, Lucien's serenade-style piano piece would follow.
Amid everyone's curiosity and anticipation, Phyllis' mother walked up to the hall and prepared to announce the program.
But at this time, Julian followed and said with a polite and apologetic smile: "Your Highness the Princess, Dear Madam, the beautiful Miss Phyllis, and ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for leaving without authorization.
Here. I am Julian from the Tria Palace. I followed Mr. Griffith to attend Miss Phyllis' birthday party today without being invited by her. It was really too presumptuous and reckless.
, so I want to send a serenade I composed to express my apology and congratulations."
The reason is reasonable and sincere, if not for the serenade Lucien was about to play.
Natasha raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lucien funny, as if to say: "It's really troublesome. Look, your reputation as a genius musician is really troublesome."
Lucien nonchalantly spread his hands and responded.
In Natasha's view, what he meant was: "Nothing, let him perform first."
So she smiled and nodded and agreed to Julian's performance. With her statement, Phyllis and her parents would naturally not object.
Julian walked up to the band excitedly and handed them the sheet music he carried with him, letting them familiarize themselves with it first. He waited beside him, preparing to be able to perform in front of many Alto musicians, to be able to perform in front of a princess and many
Performing in front of nobles would be a very good opportunity to become famous, especially for such an occasion, which was the specialty of a musician like him who often serenades for lively dances in the Trian court.
"Although Aalto is the music mecca of the entire continent when it comes to symphonies, concertos and other elegant music, the banquet-style serenades are definitely better at banquet-style serenades!" This is Julian's heartfelt opinion, and it has also been reflected in many travels.
The collection was reviewed by Tria's musicians.
Of course, what kind of environment is suitable for what kind of music grows. (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 biggest motivation.)
