Chapter Seventy-Eight: Adventure
ββThe last day of the week, I ask for clicks and recommendations~
............................................................................................................
Lucien barely smiled: "Maybe it's because this is the Latasha Palace, maybe it's because it's facing Your Royal Highness the Princess, so I feel nervous and uneasy, please forgive me for my restraint." β
But Lucien's heart was slightly relieved: "I finally asked!"
The impatience, restlessness, and nervousness that Natasha felt were all disguised by Lucien himself, in order to get Natasha to ask this question in order to test something.
Natasha raised her thick but good-looking eyebrows: "Nervous because of my status as a princess and countess?Lucien, a man must have the spirit of a man, you can respect others, you can worship others, you can respect others, you must not cower, this is the spirit and pride that belongs to every man and every knight." β
"Your Royal Highness, I will try to change. I think my nervousness and insecurity in the face of you comes more from my poor background and narrow vision. Lucien was slightly shocked by Natasha's attitude and words, but quickly gave an excuse to be ready.
Natasha suddenly laughed, not coquettish, but the atmosphere was beautiful: "Actually, you are much better than most people, at least you can express yourself fluently and completely when you face me for the first time, maybe Lucien you didn't find this potential in you." Hehe, the first time I saw Sylvia, I was able to look intently at her legs, Lucian, I really admired your boldness. β
Maybe because Lucien didn't harass Sylvia after that, and didn't even talk, Natasha didn't show anger when she mentioned the previous incident, but with a hint of ridicule.
"That was the first time I saw stockings, a bit of a gaffe, actually I'm not a pervert. Lucien explained, slightly embarrassed.
The corners of Natasha's left mouth were hooked, and she looked very understanding: "This by-product of the alchemy of the ancient Magic Empire gives people a hazy and dreamy feeling, and it is an item that ladies and gentlemen 'like', hehe, it seems that you are no exception." However, due to the destruction of the Magic Empire, this material can only be produced in some places, and even ordinary nobles cannot obtain it. β
"Your Highness Princess, if only you could understand. Lucien nodded in agreement.
Natasha looked at Lucien with a smile: "But you haven't watched it for a long time like you, Lucian, aren't you really a pervert?" Lucian's embarrassed explanation made her have some bad taste.
"In fact, I didn't even hold a girl's hand. Lucien had no choice but to respond with the tragic facts of his life.
Natasha let out a long sigh: "It's unfortunate, I've read your information, and I'm seventeen years old. Hehe, Lucian, after the concert, many girls are interested in you, do you need me to introduce you to one? Again, that joking tone.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, thank you for your kindness, I don't need it for the time being, I want to devote myself to music in recent years. Lucien solemnly refused.
His appearance aroused Natasha's playfulness even more, and he seemed to be very abruptly distorted: "You don't need me to introduce you, but you want to pursue it yourself?" and then she raised her eyebrows, "Do you need me to teach you some ways to pursue girls......?"
Ahem, ahem, Camille's cough sounded just in time, interrupting Natasha's words.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, why are we discussing such a strange topic?" Lucien felt that Natasha was very approachable, there was no arrogance, and it was very easy to communicate, but the topic would always slip in an inexplicable direction, giving him a strange feeling.
Natasha peeked at Camille, puzzled and serious, "Isn't this a normal, gentlemen's topic?"
"But you are a lady, Your Highness the Princess. Lucien finally understood what the problem was, it was clearly a conversation between two men.
Natasha spread her hands: "You can think of me as a gentleman, in fact I can teach you how to pursue girls better than most gentlemen." Well, let's move on to music. She saw that Lucian's face was a little dark, so she had to put an end to the topic for the time being.
However, it was rare that Lucien was not like other nobles in this matter, and did not show a resistant, nervous attitude, which made her very satisfied, and finally a man could communicate with her normally on the topic of "gentleman".
Lucien breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now we discussed some techniques at the end of the piece......"
"Lucien, I have a question. Natasha interrupted Lucien, looking like a good student.
Lucien asked, dedicatedly, seriously, "What is it about the ending technique?"
"Don't you really need me to instruct you on how to pursue a girl?" Natasha laughed.
"......," Lucien had to pretend he hadn't heard.
An hour passed quickly, and Natasha had an inspiration to record the melody on the white sheet of paper on the music stand, while Camille stood up and sent Lucien out.
"There are some things you just said that don't just say to others. Camille escorted Lucien to the door, looked ahead, and spoke softly.
Lucien nodded solemnly.
............
After lunch, Lucien went to Victor's house in a slightly agitated mood and waited patiently for Phyllis's arrival.
At the same time, he instructed the housekeeper Ace: "Mr. Ace, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the harvest moon, and this time is especially terrifying, you sprinkle some sulfur in the hall to drive it away." β
"Very good, Mr. Evans. "Ace, the butler, always values etiquette the most.
Phyllis also seemed to understand Lucian's feelings, and went out a full half hour earlier than usual, and she was the first to arrive besides Lucian.
Pulling Lucien to the corner of the hall and avoiding the servant, Phyllis pulled out a black bag that looked like a deep night, embroidered with several beating flame marks: "These are forty grams of moonshine roses, they must be kept for a long time by a bag of this quality." This is my bag, but I don't need it for the time being, you take it first, and then return it to me when the Moonlight Rose is finished. β
"Thank you, Phyllis. Lucien resisted his excitement, took the bag, and opened it.
The inside is full of powder with a shimmering silver-white shimmer, and it has a dreamy beauty against the black bag.
After padding the weight, Lucien estimated that there was not much deviation before tying the bag and hiding it in the pocket of the inner lining of the clothes, and now the required materials have been prepared: "Phyllis, Quintal, I will return it to you as soon as possible." β
Phyllis replied with the most standard of courtesy smiles, "Of course, this is my personal savings. Then she sniffled, "Why do you smell so much sulfur?"
"There were a lot of mosquitoes just now, and I told Mr. Ace to sprinkle them, but they will soon be blown away by the wind. Lucien replied as if he didn't seem to care.
............
In this afternoon's study, Lucien kept keeping calm even if he kept telling himself to be calm, and he kept doing well on the surface, but more mistakes and omissions than before still showed that Lucian was actually not at peace, and Victor did not criticize Lucian's state, because considering that it takes time to recover from the mood relaxation after the concert.
Finally staying up until six o'clock in the afternoon, Lucien restrained his impatience and returned to the hut in the Adjan district with a steady pace, while boiling potatoes and beef stew, while continuing to pack the belongings that were ready to be moved to the Gisu district, filling a small box full of them.
After dinner, Lucien opened the envelope, unfolded the stationery, and looked at the latest lines of text on it:
"Mr. Evans, we are very satisfied, very satisfied, with your performance at Latashya Palace today. But please exercise due restraint in your nervousness, restlessness and anxiety, and although I can understand your mood and state, the princess will not. Well, I think with your talent, you should be able to calm down after hard work. β
Without asking Lucien about today's conversation, without asking Lucian about his insights at the Latasha Palace, the cultists seemed to want to show that they were in control of everything in order to deter Lucian.
With a little fear on his face, Lucien folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, put it in a small box, and then picked up the small box and went straight out of the house, moving normally to the garden villa at No. 116 in the Jisu district.
Placing the small box in the master bedroom, Lucien pulled out a music book and looked at it quietly. Seems ready to sleep here tonight.
As the night grew darker, Lucien went to bed, then stood up with a frown: "It's too damp, how do you sleep? β
So Lucien walked briskly out of the master bedroom, went straight downstairs and left the villa, and returned to the Adjan district, where the little box and the items he had brought in yesterday were left behind.
............
When darkness had completely fallen, Lucien entered his cabin, locked the door, closed the wooden window, blew out the candles, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.
Ten minutes later, Lucien jerked to his feet again and cursed, "A lot of mosquitoes!"
So Lucien dug out the brimstone from the crate and sprinkled it in every corner of the room, causing the buzzing mosquitoes and bugs to either hit the ground or leave.
Seeing all this, Lucien went back to bed and slept satisfied.
In the middle of the night, Lucien vaguely felt the fluctuations of supernatural power, and it looked at him like a pair of eyes in the middle of the cabin.
"Without these little creatures like the Alto tabby mosquito, can you finally directly monitor them with god-like magic? β
Lucien closed his eyes and waited quietly, and as an hour passed, the watchful 'eyes' disappeared, but soon continued to appear.
"The duration is an hour. Lucien judged.
Another hour passed, and the surveillance eyes disappeared as expected, perhaps because Lucien was sleeping normally, or maybe because he had rotated personnel, so it was a full ten minutes before he reappeared, but Lucien still did not move.
After more than thirty minutes, the 'eye' of surveillance disappeared suddenly, without warning.
Lucien jerked out of the bed and disguised it as someone was sleeping.
This is the Adjan district, and this is the Adjan district, which has been closely monitored by the Church because of recent events, and what Lucien has been waiting for from the beginning is the night watchman patrolling the neighborhood.
In the face of the church, the cultists could only retreat temporarily, unable to monitor with theosophobic!
Lucien took this opportunity to quietly enter the magic laboratory, and the movement caused by the switch was very small, and it could not be felt outside the room at all, unless it was a cardinal-level powerhouse.
There is a certain amount of danger in this from beginning to end, but in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to succeed without taking risks.
