"What did he ask?" Lucien said with a frown, his tone full of doubt, this was a heartfelt reaction rather than an actor's self-cultivation, when did he have anything to do with a clown?

However, when he approached Grace in the Pearl of the Sea, Sturk, in order to get in touch with Granneuve, did anyone begin to doubt his identity as a magician?

Grace shook her head with a solemn expression: "I don't know who he is, maybe he dressed up as a clown to hide his original appearance." He has an eerie temperament, even if he just asks about ordinary things, it makes me break out in a cold sweat, and my emotions are almost broken, and it is difficult to have the idea of resisting. ”

"He mainly asked me how I met your teacher in Stulk, and how you got your favor, and asked you to write to Master Christopher and Monsieur Victor to introduce me, and by the way, he also asked if there were any other people around you at the time, and whether you were in contact with strange guys. ”

"Because I was suppressed by the clown's momentum, it seemed that if I concealed or dared not answer, he would really kill me, so I had to tell the story again, how I was pretending to be your student at Stucker, how I met you at the 'shark' restaurant, and how you exposed the fake student, and 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 told me that the next day we met in another restaurant, and that you had received a heartfelt exhortation and warning that made me completely repent, give up my vanity and shallowness, and come to Aalto to study music. ”

"I know it's not good to tell strangers about these things, but I really couldn't control myself at that time, please forgive me, teacher. Grace apologized guiltily.

Lucien listened carefully and nodded imperceptibly: "It's not bad for me to tell strangers about these things, it's mainly because your experience of pretending to be my student and deceiving the public is easy to be attacked by others. Since no one has accused you of this matter for so long, and your piano playing has now been unanimously affirmed, it will be exposed again. It's just a nice talk. Oh, you will be a model of repentance and regaining the favor of the Lord, and I will be praised as a musician with a big heart, a merciful heart, and a noble personality. ”

"Puff ......" Grace, who was a little uneasy, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lucian's last words.

Then she smiled and said, "Actually, I still had the most scruple of reason at that time to be able to control myself. So a crucial point was concealed in front of the clown. That's why you forgave me and gave me a chance to repent, not because you took pity on my family's difficulties, as I told him. and a night of physical entanglement......"

"Well, I deliberately added a little erotic component, otherwise it would be difficult for a psychologically shady guy like a clown to believe that there would be a person who is as holy and merciful as an angel. The exchange of flesh and the temptation of beauty convinced him even more. As she spoke, she looked at Lucien with rolling eyes, as if to observe his reaction.

Lucien said solemnly: "Actually, it's nothing for you to say it directly, I'm just helping a friend I know to get in touch with Mr. Granneuve to discuss business matters, and after it's over, it's not that I can't tell others." Your use of the excuse of beauty will ruin my reputation. ”

As long as Viscount Wright is still around. As long as Granneuve's identity is not revealed, even if Grace tells it in his native language, it will have no effect on him. At the time, she was told to keep it a secret, and it was mainly aimed at Granneuve.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. It was my own psychology that was dark, and I felt that you asked me to hide it because I didn't want others to know it, so I tried to lie and make up for it. Grace apologized guiltily and in trepidation.

Lucien showed a kind expression: "Okay, Grace, don't blame yourself, I can understand your feelings of maintenance, just don't do this again in the future." ”

"Teacher, you are indeed a musician with a big heart, a compassionate and kind heart, and a noble personality. Seeing that Lucien did not accuse, Grace relaxed and humorously and subtly borrowed Lucian's own words, "Okay, I have to hurry back to the living room, or they will really think we have something ......"

As Greilla exited the hallway where the restroom was located, Lucien smiled with a signature smile of "gentle calmness".

In Lucian's cognition, Grace has never been a strong-willed person, on the contrary, except for some talents in music and piano, she is a very ordinary beautiful girl, with vanity, weakness, musical dreams and can work hard for it, but it is difficult to resist the temptation.

Lucien didn't believe that such a girl relied on wit, adaptability, and determination to conceal the key content under the means of a powerful man who was probably a knight, especially since she was not her relative, not the most important person in her heart, so when she was overwhelmed by momentum and controlled by her spirit, she could not be awake because of extreme resistance in her subconscious.

Do you want to believe that after only a few meetings, Grace has fallen in love with her deeply in her heart out of adoration and gratitude, and more than her life?

No kidding!

Entering the bathroom, Lucien was doing familiar things as if he had not been affected in any way, but he was guessing the identity of the Joker in his heart: "Night's watchman, the investigators of the Pale Hand, the remnants of the Silver Horn, the intelligence officers of the Duchy?"

"Why did they suddenly investigate themselves?And it was Grace who went to Aalto to investigate?Well, from this point the investigators of the Pale Hand can be ruled out......"

"The intelligence services of the Principality have been purged, and they are all under Natasha's control, and she knows about my whereabouts and affairs, so there is no need to ask Grace or send someone to investigate the musician Lucien Evans. ”

"The other two must have bad intentions, and most of them think that I have a lot to do with the magician and the professor. When did they become suspicious?The matter of the Death Feast should be known only to the Necromancer and Viscount Karendia......"

Lucien looked back and analyzed, "But they should only be suspicious, without any definite evidence, otherwise the Night's Watch will come straight to the door, and the Silver Horn will have no scruples to retaliate and publicize it." ”

Wiping his hands with a tissue next to him, Lucien temporarily suppressed his many thoughts and returned to the hall.

............

Delicious and enjoyable lunchtime.

"Lucian, have you done anything else in the past few years in addition to the two piano sonatas of 'Moonlight' and 'The Tempest'? I think so many folk music must have given you a lot of inspiration. Victor swallowed the veal steak, 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, Elisa, and the others all looked at Lucien with blazing eyes, and only Evan maintained the dining etiquette very restrainedly.

"Actually, there are two symphonic works, one of which is almost complete, and the next step is just to adjust and practice according to the orchestra's performance. But it's inspired by folk music, and it's structurally freer than ever, and it might be fiercely criticized. Lucien replied as he thought about the Joker.

After the pre-lunch exchange, Phyllis and Lucien became familiar again, so she smiled a little curiously, "Lucien, you have the title of 'changemaker' among your many titles. Aren't bold changes, new directions, and freer structures what we should have been expecting from the beginning?"

Compared with three years ago, she is much less arrogant and humorous.

"yes, little Evans, I can't wait now. You and Aunt Elisa grew up in the south of the Duchy of Valorit, and when we were bards, we traveled to a limited number of places, and later came to Aalto and never left, so it was difficult to have access to unique music that was not so famous elsewhere, and could only be learned indirectly through the bards. When it comes to music, Joel is happy from the bottom of his heart, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of excitement and happiness.

Elena, as an ordinary musician, still maintained her past politeness and politeness in front of Victor and Phyllis, and only smiled sweetly after everyone talked about it: "Lucian, what about your other work?

With a famous musician like Lucien, the Psalm Hall is always idle as long as you want.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lucian's face again, and even Evan couldn't help but look at it curiously, this is something that can be shown off to his friends!

"It's mostly done, but some of the ideas in the last part have not yet been realized and will take some time. If all goes well, maybe two or three...... Let's worship. Lucien almost habitually said that it was a week, but because of the clown's matter, he became quite wary inside, noticed this, and forcibly reversed it.

"That's amazing, I don't know how many people are looking forward to your second concert, teacher. Grace looked excited.

Victor, Joel and the others all nodded with smiles, expressing their anticipation.

After this lunch, the news that the talented musician Lucien Evans would be holding a "return concert" within a month quickly spread through the musicians' association and through the streets of Aalto.

.............

Bidding farewell to Elena, who was traveling with her, Grace stepped into her rented garden villa in the Gisu district, where she had saved a lot of money.

Ignoring the servants' salutes, she returned to her bedroom with some eagerness.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, Grace collapsed on the bed, the black threads so thin that they could barely be seen receded like a tide.

After a while, Grace left the bed, and said to herself a little confused: "Why are you so tired today? Is it because I was too excited to see Teacher Evans? And why should I talk to Teacher Evans with such expressions and eyes? I have been thinking about seducing him? No, I worship but fear him, just like facing the el......ders."

............

Inside a house.

A funny clown smiling face suddenly gasped for breath, the previous remote control and long-term control were too laborious.

"Captain, have you tried anything?" a soft female voice asked a little eagerly. (To be continued.) )
