Chapter 47: The Anxious Viktor

  Chapter 47: The Anxious Viktor

  Zhou's recommendation has been scheduled for 14th, Sanjiang ticket is also sought after, haha, can't fall behind too much.

  Additionally, as proposed, from now on, the speech of psychological activities will no longer use double quotation marks, but instead use commas, to avoid confusion with dialogue and make it more comfortable for everyone to read.

  ………………………………………

  Lucien's voice seemed to come from the depths, and he replied vaguely: "Pierrot, have you seen those three ladies with Madame Sylvie?"

  Now, looking back, Lucien found that he couldn't remember the two women clearly, only the woman wearing a black veil who looked back at him with a hint of a smile in her eyes, and those terrifying, dangerous dark blue pupils were still deeply etched in his mind.

  This powerful force, Lucien had only seen in various fantasies on Earth. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to harm himself, otherwise he would probably have been killed or become a fool by now.

  Pierre shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen anything, but he quickly guessed what might have happened to Lucien. He let out a sigh and said, "Lady Silvia is friends with many noble ladies, so you probably saw one of them, and it was a knight who had awakened their bloodline power. You were rude enough to stare at Lady Silvia's legs, so she slightly suppressed you with her aura."

  "Alas, it's a pity that Miss Silvia is only of common birth. Otherwise, she would probably have become the lady of some nobleman by now. However, she is not someone that people like us, who haven't even passed the musician's assessment yet, can hope to attain to, unless one becomes an outstanding musician just like her, or a renowned and great musician who will be remembered in history!"

  Since the emergence of the first knight, countless times have accumulated, and people have found that although humans cannot be as powerful as giant dragons, their descendants will gradually become stronger with age. The power of blood must be triggered through postnatal training and effort, but if there are two knights or a combination of knights and their descendants, their children tend to trigger the power of blood more easily than ordinary people.

  Strength is the guarantee of status, so for these hundreds of years, nobles have chosen to marry with equally excellent noble blood or knightly descendants for their offspring. Except for a few Romeo-like characters who can give up everything for love, there has been no case of marrying a commoner woman as wife.

  Ignoring Pierrot's sighs, Lucien wondered to himself: "Compared to the descriptions by John and what I've seen with my own eyes of Sir Vien, those two ladies are probably even stronger. Could it be that they're the rumored friends of Lady Silvia, Princess Natasha? And that terrifying middle-aged woman is her powerful protector?"

  Natasha is a powerhouse who is only one step away from becoming a sixth-level Sky Knight, and those who can protect her are at least as strong as a Sky Knight. It's normal for them to have this kind of performance.

  But Lucien speculated afterwards and laughed again: 【What does this have to do with me? Who cares about the princess, who cares about the strong, what's the relationship with me.】

  Pierre sighed and said to Lucien, "Lucien, learn piano well. Although you can't surpass me, remember that music is the only thing that belongs to oneself."

  …………

  Lucien, exhausted in spirit, struggled till noon, refused Pierrot's invitation to lunch together and then to go to the music room on the fourth floor to practice instruments together, preparing to return home for an hour of sleep.

  As Lucien descended the stairs, he caught sight of Elena smiling sweetly as she chatted animatedly with a tall young man dressed in lavish noble attire, his striking golden hair and deeply handsome features making him stand out.

  Perhaps it was seeing Lucien come down that the young nobleman smiled and bid Elena farewell with a flourish, brushing past Lucien as he went upstairs.

  Lucien and Irina were already quite familiar with each other, joking: "Irina, is that your sweetheart?"

  Irina rubbed her face and looked towards the stairs, seeing that the young noble had already gone up, then said in a low voice: "How could it be my heart's desire, that is the association's famous playboy Mackenzie? Griffyth, Osairo's student, second in line to inherit the Griffyth family, oh, Lucien your classmate Lott's cousin, skilled at playing the flute and violin, ah, fake smile makes my face hurt."

  "Why the fake smile? Can't you just greet him politely?" Lucien joked and was about to leave, but Elena's answer made Lucien very curious.

  Irene said with a strong sense of disgust: "Because of his improper behavior, he has a very bad reputation in private. It's rumored that there was a commoner girl who rejected him several times, and as a result... How could we commoner girls possibly deal with him? Fortunately, he is a relatively proud person, thinking that his charm and status are irresistible to any girl. As long as you don't provoke him, don't be cold to him, make him feel special, think he wants to conquer, there won't be any problem. After all, he's very busy, often surrounded by many blind and vain girls, what time does he have to pay attention to a commoner girl?"

  The privileges of the nobility are especially strong in this world.

  "But Elena, this is only a temporary avoidance of danger. What if he suddenly becomes interested one day? You'll be in danger then. Everyone's emotions and thoughts are unpredictable, even to themselves." Lucien said with some concern.

  Irina shook her head helplessly: "It's just a matter of getting through one day at a time, but he comes to the association on a regular schedule, and most situations can be avoided in advance. Casey, huh? He's no longer interested in Casey, and is even afraid of being pestered by her. Haha, how could someone who might inherit a title marry a commoner girl?"

  "That's okay." Lucien nodded, "Anyway, at your age, you'll get married in two or three years."

  From past conversations, Lucien knew that Elena was two years older than himself and would soon be twenty. In Alto, and even among the common people of this world, she was considered a representative of late marriage. Once she got married and had her own family to take care of, she would definitely switch to a relatively easier job that didn't require working day and night.

  Elena heard the two words "get married" and suddenly sighed, filled with sorrow and hesitation: "Lucien, do you think that after seeing so many elegant people in the association, seeing their luxurious lives, and seeing so many young and talented musicians, I would still want to go back to my past life? Can I just casually find someone to marry?"

  Once one's horizons have been broadened, they will never be content with their former mundane life.

  "What are you planning to do?" Lucien asked with concern, being one of his better friends.

  Irina giggled, her voice turning sweet again: "Maybe I'll try to find a husband among those young musicians and young people with potential to become musicians, hehe, actually if McKenzie wasn't so flirtatious and sinister, becoming the wife of a noble might also be a good choice."

  "Alright, no more joking around. Let me whisper to you, Lucien, I've saved up quite a bit of silver nal and plan to become a music student just like you, learning music to eventually become a qualified musician or even a music artist. Ah, Miss Sylvia is my goal! She's so beautiful and talented in music, living her life as she pleases, and at 24 years old, still unmarried, yet not considered strange by most of the gentlemen in the association, but rather thought of as a goddess dedicated to music. I wonder how many people secretly admire her... except for Mr. Victor, of course."

  Mrs. Viktor has been dead for almost ten years, but he never remarried, focusing on music, and his feelings for his wife are visible to everyone who knows him.

  "Hehe, Irina you have your own thoughts and ideals, that's great. Well, have you thought about following which musician or teacher to study music with? Ms. Silvia?" Lucien appreciated this kind of girl who could walk the right path and strive for herself.

  Irina nodded: "It's best to be Ms. Silvia, but she rarely accepts students, it's a bit difficult." As she said this, her bright green eyes looked at Lucien and joked: "Otherwise, when you become an excellent musician, come and accept me as your student?"

  "Alright, if I could be a musician." Lucien responded with a similar jest.

  Then Irina made a fist gesture: "So, Lucien, work hard, I'm watching you!"

  …………

  Due to the raven's involvement, Lucien did not attend the next few magic apprentice gatherings. Instead, he buried the finished and collected "Arcane" journals somewhere and had Smeyer retrieve them through a secret signal.

  It can be seen from the marks left by Smiley that they are very disappointed. In addition to the ordinary time and place marks, they also added pictures like "Expecting Professor Mr. to attend".

  However, Lucien did not waver and the magical materials he had obtained last time could support him for three months without fighting with others. Moreover, it would take several weeks to fully grasp the gains in apprentice-level magic application and the knowledge gained from the "Arcane" journal, so there was no hurry to attend the gathering.

  As Lucien's spiritual power was now able to continuously cast nine apprentice-level spells, and the distance to becoming a formal magic apprentice, with his soul producing minor variations, was getting closer, Viktor had only one month of preparation left for the music festival in the Great Hall of Hymns.

  Due to Viktor's fourth, and final symphony not finding inspiration to be written, as the music festival approached, his spirit became increasingly tense and anxious, even the method of diverting students' attention was ineffective, and had no choice but to let Annie and other students who had not yet formally studied music with him suspend their lessons for a month.

  While still following him to study musical instruments, scores and music theory, people like Lucien, Lott and Phyllis clearly found that Mr. Victor's temper became violent, often unable to maintain a warm and elegant demeanor, falling into a state of collapse.

  With a bang, the door of the piano room closed in front of Lucien, Phyllis and others, and Victor's venting cries came from inside, along with the sound of ink bottles and other objects on the table being swept to the ground and shattered.

  "Mr. Viktor, if he continues like this, I'm afraid he'll never find inspiration, we should advise him." Several people looked at each other and then Lotte said bitterly.
