In the quiet of the afternoon, the sun shines through the round windows in the attic, and the air is occasionally filled with dust.

The soft and soothing sound of the piano sounded in the attic, not loud, just enough to be heard in the room.

A young girl sits at the piano, her slender fingers darling the keys. The simple melody keeps turning, starting a little rusty, then slowly becoming mellow, and finally immersed in it again, playing repeatedly, releasing a faint joy and tranquility in the heart.

After a long time, the throbbing fingers slowly stopped, and as the last note was pressed, the tail note of the strings slowly echoed through the room and slowly disappeared.

"Sounds good, Lacey." There was a light applause, and a girl with short blond hair stood up from the sofa, walked to the piano, and looked down at the score in front of the silver-haired girl.

"Is this what you wrote? Lacey. ”

"No, I found it from an old book." The girl shook her head.

"It's good, even I feel very, very good." Lan Li'er made a big gesture to describe her feelings.

"Is there a name?"

Lady Filia sat on the sofa and watched the young girl playing the keys.

"Well, yes, the name is Prelude, which means overture." The silver-haired girl replied.

"It's a good name, like butterflies dancing in the shade of a tree in summer, and I can't help but think back to the scene when I was a child."

"What was Miss Filia like when she was a child, was she very talented in music since she was a child?" Lan Li ran over and asked curiously.

"No, I used to fight with boys at that time, and I didn't like to sing at all, and Heran was beaten and cried by me when he was a child, but it was too embarrassing to say, and he kept telling me not to talk nonsense, giggle~" Thinking of this, Lady Philia couldn't help but smile, but unfortunately Master Heran had already left Hopland that night and joined Frost Rose with most of the members of the White Blue Cross.

"Then how did the teacher become a singer?" Suzushin was also a little curious on the side.

"Because it's so pretty." Lady Felia reminisced before continuing.

"When I was a child, my family was not very wealthy, and I was very envious when I looked at the singers on the stage in gorgeous dresses, and it happened that the Fenghua Opera Company was performing in Hopland at that time. I sneaked over and asked the staff if I could be a singer. ”

"The bearded uncle smiled and asked me to sing two lines, and I did, and he praised me for singing well, but it wasn't enough, so he gave me a booklet and told me to practice, and they will come back next year."

"Later, the teacher practiced every day, and then shocked the uncle?" Lan Lier asked guessingly.

"No, how can you work so hard, I looked at the boring practice method in the manual, tried to study for a long time and then gave up."

"Huh? I thought the teacher was very diligent when he was a child. ”

"It's very diligent, but that was later, and I was a little lazy at first."

"How did that change?" This bell heart is a little concerned.

"Later, the church formed a choir, and the girls who sang could get 10 silver coins, which was a lot of money for me at that time."

"So I picked it up and practiced again, and the choir pastor often praised me, so I was more motivated to learn, and slowly practicing singing every day became a habit, until I joined the Fenghua Opera Troupe and became more famous."

"Hmm..... I thought that the teacher had soared purely by talent. Lan Li'er muttered a little disappointed.

"How can there be such a good thing, Lanley. If you don't work hard now, you may be overtaken by your classmates and you will repeat a grade. ”

Lady Philia taps Lanley, who wants to make excuses for her laziness.

"I know~ I'm in the top 50 of my grade, so I won't be ashamed to repeat a grade, don't underestimate me, Teacher Filia."

"Yes, yes, if only you were as well-behaved as Suzushin."

"Wow, teacher, you actually praise others in front of me, this is a taboo for students, I want to tell the dean."

"Go ahead and say it, it's a holiday, and it's up to the head of the academy to ignore you."

Then Lady Philia walked up to Lorain Hill, looked at the sheet music, and asked.

"Are you going to sing this song at the festival, Lacey?"

"No, this piece is more suitable for solo play when there are few people. When I sing it at the festival, I want it to be a little more lively and uplifting. “

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something that everyone loves."

"Well, I will." Lorain Hill nodded, a vague frown in his heart. The most important purpose of music is to convey feelings, to convey emotions, beliefs and thoughts from the heart, and to move oneself before moving others.

And what does she want to talk about the most, in the past and present lives, all these years, does she have anything she wants to convey to others?

This question has been on her mind for the last few days, and although it was a little vague at first, it has slowly become clear these days.

"It's getting late, Lacey, Suzushin, we're leaving."

Lan Lier looked at the sun outside the window and said to Lady Filia.

"Then let's go first today, Teacher Filia~"

"Okay, be careful on the road, and don't scare the kids."

"I won't, why don't teachers always reassure me." Lan Li pursed her lips, a little unhappy.

"Teacher, let's go first." Lorain Hill and Suzu Xin also said hello before leaving.

In the afternoon, three young girls sat in a carriage with several insulated boxes of freshly baked bread and snacks in the carriage, and the carriage headed for the newly opened nursery in Hopland.

The nursery will raise children who have lost their parents, or whose families are poor, which is the new policy of the Alliance, and the funding is provided by the Alliance's guild, which is also proposed by Loren Hill.

In addition to the nursery and the school, the schools in Verga were very expensive, they were all privately run, and most of them only taught arithmetic, writing, and some regulations. However, the newly established schools are different, the guild will bear most of the expenses, and the subjects taught are also very complete, not only mathematics, Chinese, philosophy, law, business, but also organize training for students in peacetime, so that they have good discipline and basic military literacy.

Loren Hill has always believed that education can truly change a person or even a nation or country for the better.

"Here we are." Lan Li'er looked at the door outside the carriage window, then pushed the door open, and walked down with the box in her arms.

Lorain Hill and Suzushin walked down with the box, and Lady Filia had told them not to use supernatural powers, as it would scare children and cause some bad things.

"Come one by one, don't grab it~"

Lan Li'er was surrounded by children, and Suzumi was ready to walk over to help, handing out fluffy bread.

Lorain Hill sat on a wooden chair in the shade of the trees, watching the group of children chirp and chase each other, the past came to mind, and slowly recalled the dreams of childhood.

So naïve and pure.
