The next morning, Corina packed up and walked out of the guest room, and walked towards the gate of the manor to the greetings of the servants.

Her feet were fast, and it didn't take long for her to arrive.

Corina is here at this time because she is ready to welcome the Bard with Mira.

Mademoiselle Mira was very quick to get things done, and in just one evening she persuaded the Marquis to invite the Bard to perform for the show.

In fact, at first, Corina did not think that Mira would be able to convince the Marquis.

As a nobleman with a real domain, power and wealth at the top of the ranks, he has often seen all kinds of performances, and groups such as bards have never been known for their performances.

In her imagination, this matter was likely to be rejected by the Marquis on grounds such as "boredom".

But the outcome of the incident surprised her.

"Did you really do it?"

Looking at the woman walking towards her, Corina shook her head, put away her emotions, and smiled.

"Good morning, Miss Mira."

"Good morning, Corinna."

Mira smiled softly, her palms trembling unconsciously, but in the end she only grabbed the girl's arm.

"Let's go, let's go meet the magical bard."

They came to the gate, and after a short wait, they saw the carriage with Traoré's coat of arms slowly approaching from afar.

The carriage stopped in front of the manor, and the bard named Alyssa jumped lightly from the carriage and bowed generously when she saw the person who had come to greet her.

"Good morning, both, it's a great pleasure to be invited to perform for you, it's a great honour for me."

"Good morning."

Mira smiled in response to the poet's seemingly slightly flattering compliment.

But just as she wanted to take on the next sentence, she suddenly noticed that the girl next to her had a strange face.

At this time, Corina was staring intently at Alyssa....... Staring between her necks, to be exact.

There, a blue gemstone necklace sparkles in the sun.

This gemstone necklace is very familiar to her.

Because that's the necklace that the strange man "snatched" from her yesterday.

"Corinna?" Mira didn't notice where the girl's gaze fell, and only asked with a slight concern, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Corina came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile, "No, I just suddenly thought of something interesting." ”

Although it was a bit of a coincidence that the necklace she saw yesterday appeared on the person in front of her now, she didn't want to explore it.

She doesn't have that much curiosity, and it's a fool's folly to focus on needless strangers.

Seeing that Corina didn't want to say more, Mira smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but continued to talk to Alyssa.

Just because you invite the bard today doesn't mean you have to let her perform on stage today.

For most nobles, a sense of ritual is a very important thing, so it is a very important thing to prepare in advance.

"Miss Alyssa." Mira beckoned Alyssa to walk along the manor's neat stone pavement, and whispered, "What do you think of the scheduled performance time in three days?" ”

"No problem." Alyssa promised, "No matter what happens, I will be on time." ”

"So....... I've heard that what you're best at is saying something about....... Is the story of historical ethics your favorite program? ”

"Hmm....... May I? ”

Mira pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think it's a good fit." ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with your story, it's just that I invited you to perform to convince our master of the family on the grounds of 'children want to', and most of our children are teenagers and girls, and I don't want them to be infected with some curious ideas because of these stories."

Traoré was a family that followed aristocratic etiquette and was very strict with the education of her children.

I don't know what I'll look like in the future, but at least for now, they don't have access to knowledge outside of "justice" — at least not through her.

"Is that so?" Alyssa didn't hesitate to meet Mira's request, and said directly, "Then let's change it." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Mira smiled gently, "Then, what you have prepared is ......."

"Forehead ......."

Alyssa scratched her head, "Well, I may need to go back before I can get back to you." ”

"Is it something to think about? That's right, it's a bit difficult to ask you to give up what you're best at and switch to another aspect that you're not very good at. ”

"No, no, no." Alyssa waved her hand, "Until then....... What do you think will make them like it? ”

"What kind of subject matter .......?"

Mira thought for a moment and looked at Corina, who had been silent beside her.

"Corina, what kind of stories do you like to hear?"

Corina raised her head, pondered for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I was very interested in Miss Alyssa's performance yesterday. ”

"Huh?" Alyssa looked surprised, "Were you there yesterday?" ”

"Yes." Corina nodded, "In your story yesterday, I found the story of the 'Knights of the Round Table' very interesting. ”

"Uh-huh." Alyssa nodded in agreement, "My ....... A friend once mentioned to me that the most exciting thing for human beings is to cross their own treaties, and rebellious things like noble and pure knights betraying morality have always been applauded. ”

"........" Corinna's face twitched, and when she saw Mira looking at her a little strangely, she hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, what I'm saying is that my 'round table spirit' to them is very worthy of thought and reference. ”

"Ah, this?" Alyssa's face became slightly embarrassed.

"....... words," Corina asked curiously, "Is this so-called 'Lionheart' real?" ”

"I don't seem to have heard of such a king anywhere, nor have I ever seen such a system."

Corina was curious to know similar details.

She had a similar idea, and if she could learn from this failure, she might be able to fill in the gaps and build her team better - at least not to be stolen.

"This ......."

Alyssa hesitated for a moment in the face of Corina's question, and finally sighed.

"Miss, to tell you the truth, these stories were not created by me."

"What I'm good at is interpretation and telling, and creation is not what I'm good at."

She looked at Mira, who was smiling as the two of them communicated.

"The stories I tell come from my friend, and every word comes from his pen."

"That's why I said I had to go back before I could get back to you."

"Only he can come up with a story that satisfies you, not just me as a performer."

Mira had no comment on this.

It's not surprising that a performer has a team, and a person who can create and perform is called a genius.

Alyssa apparently wasn't, or she wouldn't have heard her name recently.

And Corina, on the other side, quietly narrowed her eyes when she heard Alyssa's words.

Speaking of "friends", Alyssa's hand gently touched the necklace on her chest without even noticing it.

Is that man yesterday the "friend" in Alyssa's mouth?

Originally, when she saw Alyssa's necklace, she took it for granted that she was a prodigal child who used the gem necklace to hook up with a beautiful girl.......

No, why did my mind run to that person again?

Corinne shook her head, and was about to throw out the face of the young man who had run into her head for some reason, when Miss Mira spoke up.

"In that case, you can also bring that friend of yours directly tomorrow." She chuckled softly, "This way, we can not only communicate about the performance, but also satisfy Corina's curiosity - as a creator, he should have a lot of knowledge about the system of the table knight, right?" ”

"Absolutely." Alyssa affirmed.

"That's good."

Mira smiled and looked at Corina, "What do you think, Corina?" ”

"I ...... No comments. ”

Corina agreed.

"Well, let's do it for now." "I've got some things to attend to later, Miss Alyssa, you can oversee the stage here, and come up with details that you think would be better, Corina ........"

"I'll take care of myself." Corina preemptively spoke.

That's good....... Mira praised in her heart, and after instructing the servants to entertain the guests, she went about her own business.

She wasn't worried that the two would fall into an awkward atmosphere after she left.

Corina is not a taciturn child, on the contrary, she is very good at dominating topics, and Alyssa, as a bard, should be the most powerful mouth.

Both of them, both women, are well-informed (she thinks), and there should be no shortage of topics.

In fact, Mira's guess was correct, and the two men did have a lot to say.

It's just the direction of the topic, which is somewhat unexpected for her.

........

Corinne sat on a garden bench, looking up to let the warm winter sun ruffle her golden hair and kiss her softly on the cheek.

After a moment, she spoke softly.

"What kind of person is that friend of yours?"

She wondered what kind of person could create such a story and a system that fit so well with what she had in mind.

In fact, she shouldn't have asked, because no matter what that person said, he was destined to be a stranger to her.

It's just that the "teasing" at the time of first acquaintance, the inadvertent knowledge, and the existence that seems to be ubiquitous even though she has never taken the initiative to mention it, makes the sponge called "curiosity" in her heart swell more and more.

When you reach a certain point, the idea of wanting to know more about the other person in your heart is no longer suppressed and gushes out.

Hearing Corina's question, Alyssa looked at her, her eyes suddenly becoming a little complicated.

She was really, curious.

I've never seen it again.

After a while, she sighed: "He's a very powerful person." ”

Awesome?

It seems to be the most obvious assessment, but sometimes the simplest is also the most obvious.

Corina was able to judge through the other party's emotional performance that she wanted to cite various examples to praise her friend's excellence, but when there were too many examples and all of them were excellent, Alyssa suddenly lost the ability to choose, and the mountains of examples directly destroyed her choice, and finally came up with only one sentence "Awesome." ”

In Alyssa's opinion, that person is so powerful that there is no way to describe it in words.

After thinking about it, Corina asked, "When you say 'powerful', do you mean 'ability'?" And what about the other than ability? ”

"For example, personality or personality?"

"Character." Now Alyssa was a little entangled, "His character, in my opinion, should be excellent, but in the eyes of others, it should be bad." ”

"It's normal to have a thousand copies of Teremha in the eyes of a thousand people."

"Yes, but he never cared about other people's eyes, and he was always very resolute about the path he chose." Alyssa looked at the girl's beautiful face covered with a golden veil, and whispered, "He has been like this for the past few months of travel since I met him. ”

"You guys, have you only known each other for such a short time?" Corina was a little surprised.

Looking at Alyssa's posture like an old friend, she thought that the two had at least known each other, at least at the beginning of the year.

Did you just know each other for a short time?

"yes, it's only been a few months." Alyssa smiled and said, "I was picked up by him on the road and brought back, and he said at the time that he was a little short of money and needed my help. ”

"Then I became a bard, using the show to provide him with money and continue to enable him to find his 'hope.'"

"Something to hope for?" Another question popped up in Corina's mind, "What's that?" ”

"I didn't know before." Alyssa sighed again, "I thought he wanted money that he didn't need, or the beauty of the world that didn't exist in the ugly village, or the supreme power of the Jewel, but he told me that he didn't. ”

"I saw him come up with three stories, including 'The Lionheart,' in just one night, and each of them was a great success, enough to bring him an inexhaustible fortune; Also because of the performance, he was able to have the opportunity to meet various celebrities, and in the contact, even the princess was fascinated by him; As for power, he didn't touch it before my eyes. ”

"He's really good." Listening to Alyssa's words, even Corina couldn't help but admire.

Whether these deeds are true or not, Alyssa's sincere narration can already show that the person can resist temptation, has firm ideals and beliefs, and is capable enough.

This can indeed be called a "great." ”

If such a person can become his helper, it will definitely be a big help.

After a pause, Corina spoke up again: "You just said that you didn't know before, so now you ......."

Alyssa smiled and said, "Now I do know—that's what he told me about it himself not long ago." ”

"I was excited about a perfect performance and wanted to invite him to the stage to thank him, but he refused and said to me: 'You shine on the stage, your talent is shining, but that's your place – I'm still looking for it, but I'm sure the stage doesn't belong to me.'" ”

"That's when I understood that the purpose of his trip with the things he was looking for was his 'place' in the world."

Corina listened with some distraction: "What a ....... Someone very special......."

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"Ah Qiu—"

The girl rubbed her nose and suddenly touched something.

She opened her palm and saw that it was a strange white hair.

Clean and flawless, as if transparent.

"Where did the ....... come from?"

Shaking her head, Corinna discarded the white fur.

The sight gradually drifted away with the white hair, and the girl's mind gradually emptied, and just when it was about to be empty, a trace of torrent suddenly flashed in it.

"He's looking for it, the location is ........"

For some reason, she had a feeling.

This person seemed to be the person she was looking for.

The girl looked at the seat beside her.

For ceremonial reasons, Alyssa sat at a considerable distance from her, and there was still room for a person.

"The first 'knight' on my table will be....... Him? ”

Corina chuckled and closed her eyes.

It was at this moment that she did not realize that the white cat that was floating away had really become transparent in the sunlight.

Then, as if it had been consumed as a one-time magic item, it quietly shattered and drowned in the wind.
