Chapter 93: Persuasion
"Knock knock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Leonardo didn't care about Benjamin's attitude, he knocked on Catherine's door directly.
Soon, an attendant opened the door.
He was stunned when he saw Leonardo da Vinci and Benjamin, who were talented. Then he asked seriously, "You guys, what are you doing here?"
"Who?" came Catherine's voice not far away, gentle and a little tired.
It's a little different from the Catherine that Benjamin used to be familiar with.
"Two strangers, I don't know what they're coming for. The squire said respectfully, and he bent over and looked at Leonardo da Vinci respectfully.
"Maybe you don't know me, Miss Catherine. But you know this gentleman, Benjamin Ludwig. ā
Benjamin kicked Leonardo da Vinci hard in the back leg to express his inner displeasure.
Leonardo da Vinci shook his head, looking proud.
"Benjamin? Well, who's going to use a corny name like Benjamin these days? Let them in. ā
Benjamin held back the anger in his heart and followed Leonardo da Vinci into Catherine's room.
Catherine was looking in the mirror, she had a brush in her hand and rubbed powder on her face.
"Wait a minute, I've got to touch up my makeup. Catherine didn't even look back at them, and said to herself.
Da Vinci didn't care, he sat down leisurely, revealing his long, jealous legs.
"Of course, ma'am, it's your right. If a woman doesn't wear makeup, she doesn't count as a woman. "Leonardo da Vinci always had a lot of strange truths, but he could make some people believe them.
"Sir, you are really good at talking. Catherine finally turned her head, and when she saw Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin noticed that there was also a hint of shyness under her thick foundation.
"You guys, is there anything you have to do with me?" asked Catherine with some glee, and she put her hand on her chest to stop it from beating rapidly.
"Actually," Leonardo da Vinci glanced at Benjamin to make sure he had no desire to speak, and spoke directly, "Benjamin really hopes to commemorate ...... on this day today" Leonardo da Vinci suddenly froze, and he glanced at Benjamin (Benjamin shook his head in disgust and made a lip shape), "Yes, in honor of Mr. Colora." He once inspired Benjamin, and it's a touching story. ā
"Really, Benjamin?" Catherine unexpectedly did not refuse directly, but instead asked about Benjamin's attitude.
This made Benjamin not know how to answer for a moment. "Well, that's the question, of course. If it weren't for Mr. Colora, I wouldn't have discovered my innermost desire for music. ā
"Well, though I hate you. Because you're obviously a wild child, but you're so conceited. However, your talent is really good. I'm sure my uncle would be happy to see you play for him if he had a spirit in the heavens. ā
"I hope so. Benjamin's eyebrows jumped involuntarily, believing that Mr. Colora would never be pleased with his performance.
But how could such a thing be said to Catherine?
So, the whole thing went unexpectedly well, and Leonardo da Vinci didn't even use magic, so Benjamin succeeded and participated in the tonight's performance.
"Benjamin, are you ready for the repertoire you're going to perform tonight?" Catherine was looking anxiously in the mirror, she was talking a lot at this time, as if she thought it would ease the tension in her heart.
"I," Benjamin thought for a moment, and suddenly gathered a sheet music on Catherine's desk, quietly took it in his hand, and flipped through it. "I think I should be ready. ā
"Should I?" said Catherine, looking even more anxious, "you must not mess me up tonight, or my uncle will be sad." It's going to be my turn to perform soon, and I'll give you the penultimate appearance, no problem, right?"
Benjamin didn't think much of it, so he nodded, "Okay, you can go on the court." ā
He flipped through the sheet music and smiled charmingly.
At this time, Lucien also returned to the backstage, and his expression looked terrible.
When he saw Benjamin, he was startled and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" I mean, why are you here?"
Lucien had expected this reaction, and Benjamin didn't even lift his eyelids.
"It's very simple, because I'll be up there in a while. What's wrong, Lucian, you look bad. ā
"You're going to perform too!" Lucien looked even more startled, stroking his chest vigorously, as if to calm himself down. "Well, Benjamin, I have to warn you, tonight's audience is terrible! they, they've been chatting while I'm playing. And, and I've heard a lot of people whispering that my performance is a nightmare, that I'm going to have something to do with Catherine to be able to perform tonight!"
Lucien looked genuinely angry, and he sat down in his chair with empty eyes and a feeble view of life.
Patting Lucien on the shoulder, Benjamin reluctantly comforted, "This, you are indeed able to perform tonight because of your relationship." Benjamin's eyes widened when he saw Lucian's eyes, and he immediately added, "I mean, you don't have to care what they say, just act your own." Okay, you're a wizard anyway, don't tell me, you really want to be a musician?"
Lucien hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, as if he was catching something. "I, well, I didn't want to be a musician. I can only be a wizard. ā
"It's good to understand. Benjamin said calmly, and did not continue to comfort.
It took Benjamin a while to realize that Leonardo da Vinci seemed to have been missing for a long time.
Ever since Catherine came to power, he has been gone.
Benjamin felt more and more that Leonardo da Vinci was a very unreliable partner.
I don't know what Daphne is doing now, will she be surprised and surprised to see herself perform on stage in a moment?, Benjamin thought to himself, and then inadvertently let out a burst of happy laughter.
"Mr. Ludwig, it's time for you to perform. At this time, a staff member walked up to Benjamin and said very respectfully.
He held out his hands and made a gesture of please to Benjamin.
"Sir, this way, please. ā
