"A man dressed as a clown? What did he ask? " Lucien frowned and asked in confusion. Lucien's reaction was from the bottom of his heart. Since when did he have anything to do with a clown?
However, the reason why he contacted Grace in the Pearl of the Sea in Sturk was to get in touch with Granneuve. Did someone start to doubt his identity as a sorcerer?
Grace shook her head seriously, "I don't know who he is. Maybe he dressed up as a clown to cover up his original appearance. He was so creepy that even though he was just asking me some simple questions, I was still sweating and almost had a nervous breakdown. "
"He mainly asked me how I met you in Sturk and how I won your favor. He also asked you to write a letter to Master Christoph and Mr. Victor to introduce me to you. Also, he asked if there was anyone else around you at that time, and if you had anything to do with that strange guy."
Therefore, I had to tell you everything. I told you how I pretended to be your student in Sturk, how I met you in Shark Restaurant, and how you exposed me. I was so scared that I had to use the difficulties in my life as an excuse because I was so scared that I couldn't move at all. I told you how I pretended to be your student in Sturk, how I met you in Shark Restaurant, and how you exposed me. I also told you that we met the next day in another restaurant and you warned me from the bottom of your heart, which made me repent and give up my vanity and shallowness and come to Aalto to study music. "
"I know it's not good to tell strangers these things, but I really couldn't control myself at that time. Please forgive me, Mr. Lucien." Grace apologized with a guilty face.
Lucien listened carefully and nodded slightly, "It's not bad for you to tell strangers these things. It's mainly because you pretended to be my student and lied to the public. Since so much time has passed and no one has used this matter to criticize you, and your piano playing has now been unanimously affirmed, then it will only be exposed as a beautiful story. You'll be a typical example of someone who repented and regained the favor of God, and I'll be praised as a generous, compassionate, and virtuous musician. "
"Haha …" Grace, who was a bit nervous, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lucien's last sentence.
Then she said with a smile, "In fact, I still had the last bit of reason to control myself, so I hid the key point in front of the clown. That's why you asked me to pass the note to Granneuve. That's why you forgave me and gave me a chance to repent. It's not like what I told Granneuve. You didn't do it because of my family's difficulties and because of the physical contact last night … "
"Yes, I purposely added a bit of lust into the note. Otherwise, Mr. Clown, who has a dark mind, would not believe that there's such a holy and compassionate person. He would be more convinced if I used my body and beauty to seduce him." As she was talking, she looked at Lucien with her eyes, as if she was observing his reaction.
Lucien said seriously, "In fact, it's not a big deal for you to tell me directly. I was just helping a friend of mine to get in touch with Mr. Granneuve to discuss some business matters. After that, it's not that I can't tell anyone. If you use beauty as an excuse, you'll only ruin my reputation. "
As long as Viscount Wright was still alive, and as long as Granneuve's identity was not exposed, Grace would not be affected even if she told him the whole story. The reason why Lucien asked her to keep it a secret was mainly because of Granneuve.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. It's all my fault. I thought you didn't want anyone to know that you asked me to keep it a secret, so I tried to make up for it by lying." Grace felt guilty and scared.
Lucien put on a kind face, "It's okay, Grace. Don't blame yourself. I understand your feelings. Just don't do it again."
"Mr. Lucien, you're really a generous, compassionate, and virtuous musician." Seeing that Lucien did not blame her, Grace felt relieved. Then she humorously borrowed Lucien's own words, "Well, I have to go back to the living room now, or they'll really think that there's something going on between us …"
Seeing Grace leaving the corridor, Lucien put on his signature calm smile.
As far as Lucien knew, Grace was not a strong-willed person. On the contrary, except for her talent in music and piano, she was just an ordinary beautiful girl. She was vain, weak, and had a dream of music. She was willing to work hard for it, but it was hard for her to resist the temptation.
Lucien did not believe that such a girl could hide the key information from a powerful knight with her wisdom, adaptability and determination. Especially since he was not her family or the most important person in her heart, it was impossible for her to wake up because of the extreme resistance in her subconscious mind when she was overwhelmed by the overwhelming momentum and controlled by the knight's spiritual power.
Could it be that he had to believe that after meeting her a few times, Grace had fallen deeply in love with him due to her admiration and gratitude, even more than her own life?
What a joke!
After entering the bathroom, Lucien did what he was used to doing as usual as if nothing had happened. However, in his mind, he was guessing the identity of Clown, "A night watcher? An investigator from the Hand of Paleness? A member of the Argent Horn? An intelligence agent from the Duchy?
"Why would they investigate me all of a sudden? Also, it was not until Grace came to Aalto that they started the investigation? Well, I can rule out the investigators from the Hand of Paleness from this point of view …
"The intelligence department of the duchy has been purged, and everything is under Natasha's control. She also knows where I am. There is no need for her to ask Grace, and there is also no need for her to send someone to investigate Lucien Evans."
"The other two must be up to no good. They probably think that I have a close relationship with sorcerers and Professor. When did they start to suspect me? The Feast of Death should only be known by the necromancers and Viscount Carendia … "
Lucien reviewed and analyzed, "But they should only be suspicious without any solid evidence. Otherwise, the night watchers would've come to me directly, and the Argent Horn would've retaliated and spread the news without any hesitation."
Wiping his hands with the tissue next to him, Lucien temporarily suppressed his many thoughts and returned to the hall.
… …
It was a delicious and pleasant lunch time.
"Lucien, apart from the two piano sonatas, Moonlight and Tempest, do you have any other works in the past few years? I think the folk music must've given you a lot of inspiration. " Victor swallowed the steak and sipped the red wine. He asked with a smile, "I think everyone is as curious and expectant as I am."
As if they were echoing his words, Chorre, Phyllis, Alisa and the rest of them all looked at Lucien with their eyes glowing. Only Elwyn maintained the etiquette of the meal.
"In fact, I have two symphonies. One of them is close to completion. Next, I only need to make the final adjustments according to the performance of the orchestra and practice more. However, it's inspired by folk music, and the structure is freer than before. Maybe it will be severely criticized, "Lucien answered while thinking about Clown.
After the conversation before lunch, Phyllis and Lucien became familiar with each other again. She smiled and asked curiously, "Lucien, one of your titles is' Reformer '. Bold changes, new directions, freer structures, shouldn't we be looking forward to them from the very beginning? "
Compared to three years ago, her aristocratic arrogance had lessened a lot, and her speech had become much more humorous.
"Yes, little Evans, I can't wait. Your Aunt Alisa and I grew up in the south of the Duchy of Orvarit, and we never left Aalto when we were traveling. Therefore, it was hard for us to get in touch with the less famous and unique music in other places. We could only learn about it through the bards. "Speaking of music, Joel was very happy from the bottom of his heart. His eyebrows were full of excitement and happiness.
As an ordinary musician, Elena still maintained her politeness in front of Victor and Phyllis. After a while, she smiled sweetly, "Lucien, what about your other work? Are you going to hold a 'Homecoming Concert' after it's finished? "
As a top musician, Lucien, as long as he wanted, the Psalm Hall would always be empty.
Everyone's eyes focused on Lucien again. Even Elwyn couldn't help but look at him curiously. This was something that he could show off to his friends!
"It's mostly finished, but some ideas in the last part haven't been realized yet. It will take some time. If everything goes well, maybe two to three weeks. " Out of habit, Lucien almost said "Zhou", but because of the incident with Clown, he had become quite vigilant. Noticing this, he forced himself to change it.
"That's great. You don't know how many people are looking forward to your second concert, teacher." Grace was clearly very excited.
Victor, Joel, and the rest of the team nodded with a smile, expressing their anticipation.
After the lunch, the news that the talented musician Lucien Evans would hold a "Homecoming Concert" in one month soon spread across the Musicians' associations and the streets of Aalto.
…
After saying goodbye to Elena, Grace walked into her rented garden villa in Gesu. She had saved a lot of money when she was in Sturk.
Ignoring the servants' salutes, she went back to her bedroom in a hurry.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, Grace collapsed onto the bed. The black threads that were so thin that they were almost invisible receded like the tide.
After a while, Grace got up from the bed and murmured to herself in confusion, "Why am I so tired today? Was it because I was too excited to see Mr. Evans? And why did I talk to Mr. Evans with that kind of expression and look? Did I want to seduce him all the time? No, I admire him, but I'm also afraid of him. It's like talking to an elder … "
…
Inside a house.
A comical clown with a smiley face suddenly panted a few times. The previous long-distance control and long-term control had consumed too much of his energy.
"Captain, did you find anything?" A gentle female voice asked in a hurry. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
