Natasha stopped in front of Phyllis and said with a humorous smile: "Aren't you welcome me? I was a guest at Sylvia's house, and I happened to know that she was going to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, so I thought that when the old count was still alive, I often visited this villa and the 'Bern' manor, hehe, Phyllis, you were so short and young at that time, and you desperately wanted to follow me, Brother Alfred, Uncle Samuel and Harrington went hunting, but they always fell, couldn't catch up, and could only cry, and in a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and you are already so tall and grown up. Brother Alfred and Uncle Samuel must have been very relieved to see this scene in the Dead Country. ”

Alfred is the eldest son of Grand Duke Vaorit, Natasha's elder brother, who also became a fifth-rank knight in his twenties, and Samuel is the elder brother of the current Earl of Hayne and Urbain, and the most justifiable and worthy heir to the title, both of whom died in a major battle with the Heretic Knights nearly ten years ago.

Natasha, who only planned to join in the fun and satisfy her curiosity, saw Phyllis and brought back the youthful past in the depths of her memory, thinking that in ten years, she had finally become a real warrior from a little girl after hard training, but she was continuously called by the Lord, and she was gradually separated from her former partner, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad and throbbing.

Phyllis was originally in a huge state of disappointment, frustration, sadness and anger, but she just forcibly held her smiling face to welcome the guests in, and at this time she was shocked by Natasha's arrival, and then heard her warm words containing feelings, she suddenly couldn't control herself, and tears welled up: "Of course you're welcome, very welcome, Sister Natasha, no, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

She subconsciously shouted the name she used to call when she was a child.

Natasha gave Phyllis a hug: "It's okay, just call me Sister Natasha, when I was a child, I was always full of the best memories of my life." Happy birthday, Phyllis, and congratulations on becoming a real lady. ”

The atmosphere was warm with a touch of sentimentality, which calmed his heart, and Lucien realized why even if he was so disgusted by Count Hain, Urbin could still be the clerk of Aalto City Hall, and there were many small nobles to associate with, and Phyllis could also become good friends with Yvette, the favorite daughter of Earl Hill, and Alfred and Natasha should have had a good relationship with Samuel, Urban, Harrington, and Phyllis.

Natasha let go of Phyllis, looked at her tears of excitement, joy and sentimentality, and smiled slightly: "Okay, Phyllis, don't cry, tonight is your coming-of-age ceremony, tears are not suitable for decorating your beautiful face, be happy, be happy, understand? As a great knight, she knew with a sweep of her eyes that the Earl of Hain had not arrived, and she understood why.

"Well, I'll be happy to have a birthday party. Phyllis tried to control her tears, and replied with tears and laughter, there is a future Grand Duchess, and the current Countess Violet officiates for herself, is that what the Earl of Hain can compare?

Seeing her like this, Natasha tried to lighten the mood with humorous words: "I didn't bring a birthday present, don't you mind, Phyllis?"

"Why, your arrival is the best birthday present. Phyllis hugged Natasha again, her timely arrival, warm embrace, and soft comfort were so beautiful, full of the feeling of a big sister or a brother.

Natasha waited for Phyllis to let go of herself before pointing to Lucien inside and said, "But my music advisor will definitely bring you beautiful and joyful music, so that you can forget your worries and immerse yourself in the happiness of the rite of passage." ”

She cursed in her heart, "Bastard, I came here because I was curious about your serenade, and I almost burst into tears when I fell into such an emotion." How can a great, strong knight shed tears, so I'm going to put pressure on you......"

Due to the incident of the last "Silver and White Horn", the strangeness between Natasha and Lucian has disappeared a lot, coupled with Natasha's humorous, direct, and teasing personality, and Lucian's "normal" response who is not afraid of stage fright, the two are becoming more and more like friends.

was mentioned by Natasha in public, and all eyes were focused on Lucian, because many of the musicians were themselves from aristocratic backgrounds or sponsored by nobles, so most of them already knew that Lucien would play a new serenade to congratulate Phyllis on her birthday, so they talked softly.

Being so expected by Her Royal Highness the Princess, if it is not above the normal level, then this work is a failure!

"Welcome, Princess, Lady Camille, Lady Sylvia. Urban's face was like a flower, and he motioned for Phyllis to stop getting excited and welcomed Natasha in.

Arriving at the hall, Sylvia came directly to the circle where the musicians gathered, and Natasha greeted the nobles helplessly, no matter whether their white spoon title was high or low, whether their white spoon was strong or weak, as long as they had the status of nobles, as their white spoon lord, the most basic etiquette was still required.

The more Sylvia walked this way, the more her face turned red, and the whole thing became more and more shy and delicate, it was the first time she and Natasha attended a banquet in this way, and it was inevitable that this reaction would be in the face of many acquaintances.

"Good evening, teacher, you arrived so early. Silvia greets Christopher, a disciple of the "living musical legend".

Christopher sighed softly, not demanding anything, the music industry is more acceptable to this aspect of things, he only said with concern: "Sylvia, think more about the future, okay, don't you want to arrange piano music? ”

His "authority" was Victor, Rhine, and Lucian, who appreciated the new fingering of the piano, while Sylvia was previously limited by the fact that the harpsichord instruments she was good at were only suitable for indoor play, and could only be played in the piano room or salon, so even though she composed many elegant and quiet and beautiful pieces, she never held a concert in the Chant Hall, and the appearance of the piano gave her hope that she planned to change some of the music to fit the piano in preparation for the future.

Natasha told Lucien about this, so Lucian did not have any doubts at this time, and communicated with Sylvia very seriously about the arrangement of piano music and piano fingering, which made her shy.

Julian and other musicians from the Trian court were forgotten by Lucian, who tried to interject several times, but they knew very little about the piano and couldn't really join in the conversation, and the others were not enthusiastic about them, and didn't treat them as musical talents at all, because this was Aalto, because they didn't make a name for themselves in Aalto.

Such an attitude made Julian Miiri feel the arrogance of outsiders in Aalto's music industry, and felt that he had been insulted.

McCands smiled with satisfaction as he watched their white spoon expressions change.

............ Since Natasha came to preside over Phyllis's coming-of-age ceremony, many nobles rushed over after being informed, delaying the banquet, which was scheduled to start at eight o'clock.

Count Hain was angry, since he pretended to be sick, then pretended to be the end, anyway, for a big nobleman like him, as long as it was not accused of blasphemy, treason and rebellion, even if he offended the Grand Duke, he could live a luxurious and noble life in his own territory, at most far away from the political arena of the principality and deprived of the control of the non-direct knights, but Harrington rushed to the banquet for a well-known reason.

The rite of passage was not complicated, Natasha took a flaming flower from Phyllis's mother, placed it on Phyllis's left breast along with the Hain family coat of arms, and then delivered a short congratulatory message.

Then. She held out her hand to invite Phyllis, and the opening dance of the birthday party was the last of the rites of passage.

In the festive and happy melody, the two beauties danced, Natasha is a fifth-level knight, no matter how strong, agile or coordinated far more than Phyllis, with her out of the best dance in her life.

After the opening dance, Phyllis gasped for breath while Natasha waited calmly, because according to the flow, it would be Lucien's serenade-style piano piece.

Amid all the curiosity and anticipation of the arrival, Mother Phyllis walked up the hall to announce the show.

But then, Julian followed, and said with a polite and apologetic smile, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, your honorable husband, beautiful Miss Phyllis, and ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry for walking here without permission. I am Julian from the court of Tria, and it is so presumptuous and reckless to come to the birthday party of Mr. Griffith without being invited by Miss Phyllis, so I would like to serenade myself with a serenade of my own composition to express my apologies and congratulations. ”

The reason is reasonable and sincere, if it weren't for Lucien's upcoming serenade.

Natasha raised an eyebrow and gave Lucian a funny look, as if to say, "What a trouble, look, your reputation as a talented musician is really troublesome." ”

Lucien spread his hands in response.

And in Natasha's opinion, he meant: "It's nothing, let him perform first." ”

So she smiled and nodded in agreement with Julian's joining the line, and with her statement, Phyllis and her parents naturally would not object.

Julian excitedly walked up to the band, handed them the sheet music he had with him, and let them get acquainted with it, while he waited by him, and prepared himself for a very good opportunity to be able to perform in front of Aalto's many musicians, in the presence of a princess and many nobles, especially on such occasions as a musician like him, who often serenaded the Celestial Balls at the Trian court.

"Although Aalto is the musical mecca of the entire continent when it comes to high music such as symphonies and concertos, the banquet-style serenades must have been better known to the musicians of the Trian court!"

Of course, what kind of bad environment is suitable for what kind of music growth.
