Changing out of his tuxedo, Lucian, dressed in a plain black coat, left the Hall of Psalm through the side door, because it was said that there were quite a few avid music-loving people waiting at the main entrance to see Mr. Evans, who played such a charismatic role.
In the dark corner of the side door were several carriages parked, and in front of the carriages stood the people Lucian was familiar with.
Sentimentality and parting suddenly welled up in his heart, Lucian exhaled softly and walked towards Victor, Joel and the others.
"Congratulations, Lucian, your music and performance exceeded my expectations, you are my proudest student." Victor took a few steps forward and hugged Lucian, "But you don't seem very excited and happy?"
Victor keenly noticed that Lucian's mood was a bit wrong.
Lucian smiled hard and said: "The last three consecutive piano solos are too exhausting, both physically and mentally." The last half of the sentence was explained to John, who knew his quasi-knightly strength.
Victor did not doubt: "I can understand that I have not forgotten your sad emotions just now. Take a good rest tonight, and we will have a celebration for you tomorrow night. Because if it drags on for a few more days, I will not be in Aalto."
"Teacher Victor, where are you going?" Lucian heard about it for the first time.
Victor smiled gently: "After the concert last year, I had already received a lot of invitations, but it was a critical period for you to learn the basics, so I pushed them all down. Now that Lucian, you are a real musician, it's time for me to travel and perform, hehe, otherwise I'll become poor. Phyllis and Lot will follow me."
He couldn't go with Lucian, who had his own identity and status.
"Really?" Lucian subconsciously asked rhetorically, seeing that Victor and Phyllis were nodding, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, "Actually, I also plan to do this, because I don't have rich life experience, I haven't personally seen the scenery and culture of different places, I think it will be difficult for me to write good works again, so I am ready to accept the invitation and do a trip to the whole continent."
"Lucian, you can maintain a normal mind, not be arrogant, and work hard to find ways to break through your own limitations, I am very satisfied and happy." Victor said very happily, "I wish you all the best, I'm afraid I will only know about you from the newspaper in the next year."
"I wish you a smooth journey." Lucian hugged Victor again full of parting emotions.
Then he turned around and hugged Joel and Alyssa together: "Uncle Joel, Aunt Alyssa, I may not have a bar mitzvah in Aalto."
Lucian's birthday is the 26th of June every year.
"When the young eagle grows up, it will leave the nest and fly on its own. Although we are helpless, this is your life, we will always be proud of you, you have never let us down." Joel smiled and patted Lucian on the shoulder, "By the way, congratulations, our musician Lucian, your performance just now was so imposing, and the music happened to 'hit' me, reminding me of the difficult life when I first arrived in Alto."
Alyssa laughed and said: "Little Evans, it's not that you will never come back, why are you as sad as a child?"
Lucian opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, so he had to pretend to hug Phyllis to avoid it.
"Lucian, your music and performance are great, I want to become proficient in the piano as soon as possible!" Phyllis was more excited than everyone else, "The violin is known as the queen of musical instruments, I think the piano must be the king of musical instruments!"
Lucian thought of his promise and smiled slightly: "I will sort out my piano skills and some knowledge, so that you can follow Mr. Victor on a trip to the mainland without delaying your piano learning. Also, if you have good music, Phyllis, I will write for you in "Music Review".
Then Lucian turned to Alina and said, "I will also give you a copy of the information I have sorted out. Elena, I hope you can achieve something on the road of music."
"Thank you, our great musician." Alina replied happily and playfully.
With the bright smiles of Phyllis and Alina, Lucian walked up to John and hugged this good friend who was much higher than himself: "I hope that when we see you again, John, you have become an official knight."
John said without the slightest hesitation: "Faith determines will, will controls bloodline, and I already have my own firm belief to fight to get rid of devils and demons and defend my homeland, so I believe I can stimulate bloodline!"
He looked very confident, and then smiled: "But it's still not as good as you, Lucian, you are already a famous musician on the continent, which makes me a little jealous, of course, more honor and pride."
Lucian exchanged a few words with John, turned around and glanced around at Joel, Victor, and the others, and then pressed his left chest with a faint sorrow and saluted everyone:
"I hope you all live happily, please allow me to say goodbye in advance."
It was a little surprising that Lucian would be so solemn, but everyone quickly understood that it was because of his first trip to a long distance.
…………
The next day, Lucian spent the day busy welcoming visitors, and the evening was a celebratory ball, lively and joyful.
By the early hours of the morning, everyone had already left, and the dark night was filled with a palpitating silence.
Lucian was waiting for Rhein in the master bedroom, and had previously agreed that he would come to look for him, telling him the location of the Magic Council headquarters and some common sense.
During the long wait that made people lose their patience, Lucian suddenly heard a crisp sound, someone was knocking on the window door of the bedroom balcony!
Standing up eagerly, Lucian looked over, but it was Natasha and Camille standing on the balcony.
Natasha, who was wearing a long black dress, looked very ladylike and quiet, but as soon as she spoke, she revealed her true nature: "Hey, move so fast, Lucian, you really welcome me. Hey, I was busy before, I had to send some nobles away, and I had to host a court ball, so I couldn't attend your celebration. Now I come to congratulate you, you are my music advisor!"
Lucian amused himself and opened the window door to let Natasha and Camille in: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, you should have just come back from Ms. Sylvia, right?"
"How do you know......" Natasha's purple eyes widened, looking like she had been exposed.
Lucian pointed to the clock in the Golden Cathedral in the distance: "It is said that around ten o'clock, the last guest in the court left. And now it's twelve o'clock. But I am already very grateful that Your Highness can stop by."
"Haha, when I came to Jisu District, I always walked to Sylvia unconsciously, in fact, I really wanted to come over first." Natasha laughed dryly twice.
The two chatted casually for a while, and Natasha suddenly made an invitation: "As Countess Violet, I will live in Katia Palace, which is directly under the family's territory, for two months at this time of year. Lucian, I would like to invite you, the music consultant, to set off together tomorrow to hunt and give concerts there. Well, Sylvia and her father have accepted the invitation."
"Your Highness, maybe I can't go." Lucian told Natasha about his plan to go out to collect wind, which could be regarded as saying goodbye to her friend.
Natasha raised her purple eyebrows and said with a slight excitement: "It's really enviable, I want to travel around like this too."
After eagerly exchanging the characteristics of each country, Natasha asked a little embarrassedly: "Lucian, have you finished writing the melody you heard that time? It's that melody as beautiful as moonlight, and I want to play it to Sylvia on my birthday."
Natasha's birthday was July 30th, and in her opinion, Lucian obviously couldn't come back so soon, so she asked in advance.
Lucian originally wanted to say that he had not completed the "Moonlight Sonata", but he could see Natasha's pleading expression, thinking that after this farewell, he might not have intersected with her devout believer again, so he nodded: "Only the first movement has been completed."
"Can you play it for me?" Natasha happily requested.
"Of course." Lucian walked to the cubicle, opened the lid, and sat down in front of the piano.
The soothing and tranquil melody sounded, as beautiful as a silent lake shimmering with sparkling waves under the light of the silver moon, it rippled slowly, with a hint of sadness, darkness, sweetness and tenderness, beautiful and dreamy.
Natasha listened to the melody, so quiet that it didn't seem like she was herself, and it wasn't until a few minutes of melody that she suddenly came back to her senses: "The first movement turned out to be adagio, Lucian, you are trying to change again. But it's really beautiful, deep, quiet and romantic, hehe, if I play it to Sylvia, she will definitely be very addicted."
She suddenly thought of something, and smiled: "But after playing such a poetic melody, how can there be no romantic confession, Lucian, can you help me think of one?"
"If I could think of it, I wouldn't have experienced love." Lucian reluctantly stood up from the piano, this is not his good forte.
Natasha tsk: "But you can write beautiful and romantic music like "Dedicated to Sylvia" and "Moonlight" without love experience. Think about it, I'm the worst at this! When the scene seemed to be dreamy, the gentleman slowly stood up from the piano bench, walked towards the beautiful lady, walked gracefully and confidently, then took her hand, kissed the back of her hand gently, raised his head and said to her......"
"Whenever I see the moonlight, I think of me......" Lucian took it expressionlessly, repenting in his heart: "I'm sorry, Yagami."
Natasha exclaimed "Wow": "It's really romantic, Lucian, you have a lot of talent in this area. Thank you, haha, thank you so much."
Then, a satisfied Natasha stood up: "Tomorrow I will leave Aalto and go to Katya Palace, where I will say goodbye to you in advance. Lucian, you are a very good, easy to get along with, and a very happy friend."
"I also say goodbye to Your Highness the princess in advance." Lucian responded with a slight sigh.
After sending Natasha and Camille away, Lucian admired the silver moon on the balcony and waited for Rhine's arrival.
After ten minutes, Rhine finally appeared in the garden, still his favorite red and black combination, smiling and looking at the balcony: "Lucian, come down for a walk and enjoy the moon?"
