Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 96 Serenade (Second)

Natasha stopped in front of Phyllis, and smiled humorously: "I'm not welcome? 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 the old earl was still alive. At that time, I often visited this villa and the 'Berne' manor, hehe, Phyllis, you were so short and young at that time, you desperately wanted to go with me, Brother Alfred, Uncle Samuel and Harrington Hunting, but always falling, unable to catch up, can only cry, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, you are already so tall and grown up. Brother Alfred and Uncle Samuel saw this in heaven One scene will definitely be very gratifying.”

Alfred is the eldest son of Grand Duke Violet, Natasha's elder brother, and also a genius who became a fifth-level grand knight in his twenties. Samuel is the elder brother of the current Earl of Hayne and Urbain. The most legitimate and well-deserved heirs to the title, they all died in a 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 memories of her youthful past. Thinking of ten years, after hard training, she finally got from a The little girl became a real warrior, but her relatives were called by the Lord one after another, and she was drifting away from her former partners. I couldn't help feeling sad and throbbing.

Phyllis was originally in a huge disappointment, frustration, sadness and anger, but she just forced her smile to welcome the guests. At this time, she was shocked by Natasha's arrival, and then heard her warm words full of emotion, and suddenly couldn't control herself. , Tears welled up: "Of course you are welcome, you are very welcome, Sister Natasha, no, Your Royal Highness."

She subconsciously called out her childhood name.

Natasha gave Phyllis a hug: "It's okay, just call me sister Natasha. My childhood is always full of the best memories in my life. Happy birthday, Phyllis, congratulations on becoming a real lady."

The atmosphere was warm with a touch of sentimentality, which made people feel at peace, and it was only then that Lucien understood why Urbain could still be the clerk of the Alto City Hall even though he was so disgusted by Earl Hayne, and why he could still have Many little nobles come and go, and Phyllis can still become good friends with Yvette, Earl Hill's favorite daughter. Back then, Alfred and Natasha should have been with Samuel, Urbain, Harrington, Faye Liz is very friendly.

Natasha let go of Phyllis, looked at her tears of excitement, joy and sentimentality, and smiled slightly: "Okay, Phyllis don't cry, today is your coming of age ceremony, tears are not suitable for decorating your beautiful body." Face, please be happy, be happy, understand? I will preside over your coming-of-age ceremony." As a great knight, she knew that Earl Hayne was not here with a glance, and she also understood the reason.

"Well, I will definitely hold a birthday party happily." Phyllis tried her best to control her tears, and replied with a combination of crying and laughter. There is a future grand duchess, the current Violet countess, who will host the coming-of-age ceremony for herself, and that is Hayne. Can the earl match it?

Seeing her appearance, Natasha tried to ease the atmosphere with humorous words: "I didn't bring a birthday present, do you mind, Phyllis?"

"How could it be? Your arrival is the best birthday present." Phyllis hugged Natasha again. Her timely arrival, warm embrace, and gentle comfort were all so beautiful, full of big sister or brother's excitement. Feel.

Natasha waited for Phyllis to let go before she pointed to Lucien inside and said, "However, my music consultant will definitely bring you beautiful and joyful music, so that you can forget your troubles and immerse yourself in the excitement of the coming-of-age ceremony." In happiness."

She cursed softly in her heart: "Bastard, I came here just because I was curious about your serenade, and I fell into such a mood that I almost shed tears. How can a great and strong knight shed tears, so I want to give you pressure……"

Due to the "Silver Horn" incident last time, the strangeness between Natasha and Lucien has disappeared a lot, plus Natasha's humorous, direct, and teasing character, and Lucien is not afraid of stage fright The "normal" response, the two became more and more like friends.

When Natasha mentioned it in public, all eyes focused on Lucien. Since many of the musicians were of noble origin or were sponsored by nobles, most of them already knew that Lucien could play. A new serenade congratulates Phyllis on her birthday, and whispers ensue.

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

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness, Ms. Camille, Ms. Sylvia." Urban seemed to have a flower blooming on his face, and while signaling Phyllis to stop being excited, he welcomed Natasha inside.

When they arrived at the hall, Sylvia came directly to the circle where the musicians gathered, while Natasha reluctantly greeted all the nobles, regardless of their titles high or low, regardless of their strength or strength, as long as they have As a nobleman, as their lord, the most basic etiquette is still required.

The more Sylvia walked this way, the more flushed her face became, and the more shy and beautiful she became. This was the first time she and Natasha attended a banquet in this way, and it was inevitable that she would react this way when facing many acquaintances.

"Master, good evening, you arrived really early." Sylvia greeted Christopher, she is the disciple of this "living music legend".

Christopher sighed softly, and didn't ask for anything. People in the music industry are more acceptable to this aspect. He only cared and said briefly: "Sylvia, think about the future, okay, you Don't you want to arrange piano music? There are several piano 'authorities' here, please communicate more."

His "authority" refers to Victor, Rhine and Lucien, who are very appreciative of playing the piano with a new fingering method, while Sylvia was limited in the past by being good at the harpsichord, which is only suitable for indoors, and can only play on the piano. Therefore, even though she created a lot of elegant, quiet and beautiful music, she has never held a concert in the chant hall. The appearance of the piano made her see hope, and she planned to change some of the music to be suitable for the piano. Prepare for later.

Natasha had told Lucien about this, so Lucien had no doubts at this time, and communicated with Sylvia seriously and seriously about the piano music arrangement and piano fingering, which eased her shyness.

Julian and other musicians from Tria's court were forgotten by Lucien. They wanted to intervene several times, but they knew very little about the piano, so they couldn't join in the conversation. They're treated like musical geniuses because this is Alto, because they didn't become famous there.

Such an attitude made the three of Julian feel the arrogance of the outsiders in the Alto music industry, and felt that they had been insulted.

McCants watched their expressions change and smiled with satisfaction.

…………

Since Natasha was to preside over Phyllis's coming-of-age ceremony, many nobles rushed over after receiving the notification, which delayed the banquet originally scheduled to start at 8:30.

Earl Hayne was very angry. Since he was pretending to be sick, he should pretend to the end. Anyway, for a nobleman like him, as long as he is not charged with blasphemy, treason, and treason, even if he offends the Grand Duke, he can live a luxurious life in his own territory. A noble life, at best, is far away from the political arena of the principality and deprived of the control of the non-direct knights, but Harrington came to the banquet for a well-known reason.

The coming-of-age ceremony was not complicated. Natasha took a flaming flower from Phyllis' mother, put it on Phyllis's left chest together with the Hein family's 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 item of the coming-of-age ceremony.

In the festive and happy melody, the two beauties danced lightly. Natasha is a fifth-level great knight, far surpassing Phyllis in terms of strength, agility, and coordination. She led her to dance the best dance in her life.

After the opening dance, Phyllis panted lightly beside her, while Natasha waited calmly, because according to the procedure, the following would be a piano piece in the style of Lucien's serenade.

Amid everyone's curiosity and anticipation, Mother Phyllis walked up the hall, ready to announce the program.

But at this time, Julian came up, and he said with a polite and apologetic smile: "His Royal Highness, Madam, beautiful Miss Phyllis, and ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to leave without permission." Come here. I am Julian from the court of Tria. Today, without the invitation of Miss Phyllis, I followed Mr. Griffith to her birthday party. It is too presumptuous and reckless , so I would like to send a serenade I composed to express my apologies and congratulations."

Reasonable and sincere, if not for Lucien's upcoming serenade.

Natasha raised her eyebrows, looked at Lucien amusedly, and seemed to say, "It's really troublesome, look, your reputation as a talented musician is really troublesome."

Lucien spread his hands indifferently in response.

In Natasha's view, what he meant was: "It's nothing, let him perform first."

So she nodded with a smile and agreed to Julian's jumping in to perform. With her statement, Phyllis and her parents would naturally not object.

Julian walked up to the band excitedly, handed them the sheet music he carried with him, and asked them to familiarize himself with it first, while he waited by the side, making preparations. Performing in front of the nobles would be a very good opportunity to become famous, especially on such an occasion, which is his specialty as a musician who often composes serenades for lively balls in the court of Tria.

"Although Aalto is the holy land of music in the whole continent in terms of elegant music such as symphonies and concertos, the musicians of Trian court must be better at banquet-style serenades!" This is the voice of Julian, and it is also the voice of many travel The collection has been evaluated by the musicians of Tria.

What kind of environment is of course suitable for the growth of music.
