Natasha stopped in front of Phyllis and smiled humorously, "Am I not welcome? I was originally at Sylvia's house as a guest, and I happened to know that she was going to attend your coming of age ceremony. Then I remembered that when the old Count was still alive, I often came to this villa and the Berne Manor as a guest. Haha, Phyllis, you were so short and young at that time. You desperately wanted to follow me, Brother Alfred, Uncle Samuel, and Harrington to hunt, but you always fell down and couldn't catch up. You could only cry. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and you are already so tall and grown up. Brother Alfred and Uncle Samuel will be very happy to see this scene in the Kingdom of Heaven. "
Alfred was the eldest son of the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit and Natasha's brother. He was also a genius who became a level five Knight in his twenties. Samuel was the brother of the current Count of Hayne and Urban. He was once the rightful successor to the title of Knight. They both died in a war with the heretical knights nearly ten years ago.
Natasha, who only wanted to join in the fun and satisfy her curiosity, saw Phyllis, and recalled the memories of her youth deep in her memory. She thought that after ten years of hard training, she had finally become a real warrior from a little girl. However, her family had been continuously summoned by the Lord, and she had gradually drifted away from her former companions. She couldn't help but feel sad and throbbing.
Phyllis was originally in great disappointment, depression, sadness, and anger. She could only force a smile to welcome the guest. At this time, she was shocked by Natasha's arrival and heard her warm words. She suddenly couldn't control herself and burst into tears, "Of course, I welcome you. I welcome you very much, Sister Natasha, no, Her Royal Highness."
She subconsciously called out the name she used when she was young.
Natasha gave Phyllis a hug, "It's okay, just call me Sister Natasha. When I was young, I was always full of the best memories of life. Happy birthday, Phyllis. Congratulations on becoming a real lady. "
Lucien finally understood why Urban could still be the clerk of the city hall of Aalto even though Count Count Hayne hated him so much. He could still interact with many small nobles, and Phyllis could still become good friends with Yvette, the favorite daughter of Count Count Hayne. Back then, Alfreid and Natasha should have been good friends with Samuel, Urban, Harrington, and Phyllis.
Natasha let go of Phyllis. Looking at her tears of excitement, joy and sadness, she smiled and said, "Alright, Phyllis, don't cry. Today is your coming of age ceremony. Tears are not suitable to decorate your beautiful face. You have to be happy. You have to be happy. Do you understand? I'll host your coming-of-age ceremony. " As a Grand Knight, she knew that Hayne Count was not here, and she also knew why.
"Yes, I'll be happy to have a birthday party." Phyllis tried hard to control her tears. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She had the future Grand Duke and the current Violet Count to host her coming-of-age ceremony. How could Hayne Count compare with her?
Natasha tried to lighten the atmosphere with humorous words. "I didn't bring a birthday present. Do you mind, Phyllis?"
"Of course not. Your presence is the best birthday present." Phyllis hugged Natasha again. Natasha's timely arrival, warm hug, and gentle comfort were all so wonderful. She felt like a big sister or a big brother.
Natasha waited for Phyllis to let go of her, and then she pointed at Lucien and said, "But my music consultant will definitely bring you beautiful and happy music, so that you can forget your troubles and be immersed in the happiness of your coming-of-age ceremony."
She cursed in her heart, "Asshole, I'm here because I'm curious about your serenade. Now I'm in such a mood that I almost burst into tears. How can a great and strong Knight cry? So I'm going to give you pressure … "
Because of the incident at Argent Horn, Natasha and Lucien were not unfamiliar with each other anymore. Coupled with Natasha's humorous, direct, and teasing personality, and Lucien's "normal" response, they were becoming more and more like friends.
When Natasha mentioned Lucien in public, all eyes were focused on him. Because many of the musicians were born in the nobility or were sponsored by the nobility, most of them already knew that Lucien would play a new serenade to celebrate Phyllis's birthday, so they began to talk in a low voice.
Since Her Royal Highness was looking forward to it so much, if it was not above the normal level, it would be a failure!
"Welcome, Her Royal Highness, Ms. Camille, Ms. Sylvia." Urban's face was like a blooming flower. While hinting Phyllis to calm down, he welcomed Natasha into the hall.
In the hall, Sylvia directly walked to the circle of musicians, and Natasha helplessly greeted the nobles. No matter how high they were or how weak they were, as long as they were nobles, as their lords, the most basic etiquette was still necessary.
The closer Sylvia walked, the redder her face became. She became more and more shy and beautiful. It was the first time that she and Natasha attended a banquet in such a way. It was inevitable that she would have such a reaction in front of so many acquaintances.
"Good evening, sir. You're early." Sylvia greeted Christoph. She was the disciple of the "living music legend".
Kristoph gently sighed. He did not ask for anything, since people in the music industry were more accepting of such matters. He only said with concern, "Sylvia, think more about the future. Alright, didn't you say that you wanted to compose a piano piece? Here are some 'authorities' on piano. You can talk to them. "
The "authorities" he referred to were Victor, Rhein, and Lucien, who appreciated the new way of playing the piano. Sylvia, on the other hand, was limited by the fact that the harpsichord was only suitable for indoors, so she could only play it in the piano room or in the salon. Therefore, even though she had composed a lot of elegant and beautiful music, she had never held a concert in the Psalm Hall. The appearance of the piano gave her hope. She planned to adapt some of her music to the piano in preparation for the future.
Natasha had told Lucien about this, so at this time, Lucien did not have any doubts. He very seriously and seriously talked with Sylvia about piano adaptation and piano playing, which eased her shyness.
Lucien and the other musicians from the palace of Tria were forgotten by him. They wanted to interrupt several times, but they knew little about piano and could not join in the conversation. The others were not enthusiastic about them at all. They were not regarded as musical geniuses at all. This was Aalto, and they did not become famous in Aalto.
This attitude made them feel that Aalto's music industry was arrogant to outsiders. They felt that they were being insulted.
Seeing the changes in their expressions, Mcanzi smiled with satisfaction.
…
Since Natasha was going to host Phyllis's coming-of-age ceremony, many nobles rushed to the banquet as soon as they heard the news. The banquet, which was supposed to start at eight o 'clock, was delayed to eight-thirty.
Count Hayne was calm. Since he was pretending to be sick, he would do it to the end. After all, for a great noble like him, as long as he did not commit blasphemy, treason, or other crimes, even if he offended the Grand Duke, he could still live a luxurious and noble life in his own territory. At most, he would stay away from the political stage of the duchy and be deprived of control of the Knight Order. However, for some reason, Harrington came to the banquet.
The coming-of-age ceremony was not complicated. Natasha took a flame-like flower from Phyllis's mother and put it on Phyllis's left chest together with the coat of arms of the Hayne family. Then she gave a short congratulatory speech.
Then. She reached out her hand and invited Phyllis to dance the opening dance of the banquet, which was the last part of the coming-of-age ceremony.
To the joyous melody, the two beauties danced. Natasha was a fifth-level Knight. Her strength, agility, and coordination were far better than Phyllis's. Natasha led Phyllis to the best dance of her life.
After the opening dance, Phyllis gasped for breath, while Natasha waited calmly. According to the schedule, Lucien's serenade style piano piece was going to be played next.
Under everyone's curiosity and expectation, Phyllis's mother walked to the front of the hall and was about to announce the performance.
But at this time, Urhiya followed her and said with a polite and apologetic smile, "The honorable Her Royal Highness, the honorable Madam, the beautiful Miss Phyllis, and ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to come here without permission. I'm Urhiya from the Tria Palace. Today, I followed Miss Phyllis to her birthday party without her invitation. It's very presumptuous and reckless. So I'd like to present a serenade that I composed to express my apologies and congratulations. "
The reason was reasonable and sincere. If Lucien was not going to play a serenade, Lucien would not be there.
Natasha raised her eyebrows and looked at Lucien with a funny look. She seemed to be saying, "You're so troublesome. See, your reputation as a genius musician is really troublesome."
Lucien shrugged and said, "What are you doing?"
From Natasha's point of view, he meant, "It's okay. Let him perform first."
So she nodded with a smile and agreed to let Urhiya cut the line. With her attitude, Phyllis and her parents naturally did not object.
Urhiya walked to the front of the band excitedly and gave them the score that he had brought with him to familiarize himself with it. He waited at the side and prepared. Being able to perform in front of so many musicians in Aalto, a princess, and many nobles would be a very good opportunity to become famous. Especially on such occasions, it was his specialty as a musician who often composed serenades for passionate balls in the Tria Palace.
"Although Aalto is the Holy Land of Music in the whole continent in terms of elegant music such as symphonies and concertos, the musicians in the Tria Palace are definitely better at serenades for banquets!" This was Urhiya's thought. It was also the evaluation of many musicians who traveled through Tria.
Of course, the kind of environment was suitable for the growth of music. (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.)
