Because it is not a formal canonized knight, there are no many etiquettes. Lucien thanked Natasha with a knight ceremony, and Natasha put the long sword on Lucien's shoulder, and said solemnly and authentically:

"May your sword guard your will."

After doing all this, Lucien solemnly took over the "Vigilance" bestowed by Natasha. It is a "ceremonial" long sword with gorgeous decoration but ordinary blade.

"Following" Natasha's guidance, Lucien successfully used his will to leave his breath on "Vigilance", knowing that this long sword is not as fancy and fragile as it looks, it has an attack equivalent to that of an ordinary first-level knight It is a very good "extraordinary" long sword with the ability to improve intuition to the level of a second-level knight.

Magical long swords and enchanted long sword weapons, which magicians are used to calling, are extraordinary weapons in the mouths of nobles and priests. These weapons do not need to be imprinted on the center like magic items and divine items. After getting them, simply You can use it by leaving your own breath, but some weapons will reject a certain type of user according to the restrictions of the forger.

Putting on the long sword, Lucien stood up and said goodbye. Seeing his leaving back, Natasha suddenly chuckled, and said to Camille: "Although he wants to keep it a secret, I remember that Sylvia also received a letter from Fei Li. An invitation from Felice. Hey, it’s been a long time since I saw Phyllis.”

…………

Since it was her own birthday party in the evening, Phyllis asked for leave in the afternoon and did not come to study at Victor's house.

"This time is Phyllis' eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony, so many guests were invited, including titled nobles with close ties to the Hain family, as well as all the musicians and famous musicians of the association." During the break, Lott and Lucien chatted.

Lucien asked in a relaxed mood: "It's really a grand birthday party. I don't know how many invited guests will come in the end?"

Herodotus, who was quiet next to him, glanced at Lucien indifferently: "As long as the musicians of the association are in Alto, most of them will participate, because someone will play a newly composed serenade as a birthday present. Everyone I am very curious to see what kind of works this musical genius can write after more than a month of silence."

After the concert in the chant hall, Victor strictly protected Lucien and did not allow him to accept invitations to various banquets, salons, or gatherings. But in this way, the low-key and mysterious musical genius Lucien made everyone more curious, not to mention the many malicious people in it.

"Nobility with a title depends on the attitude of Earl Hayne. According to the rules of the Hayne family, when every member of the direct descendant becomes an adult, the head of the family must personally host the banquet. I don't know if Earl Hayne will find a reason not to come this time. "Lott said uncertainly, and then changed the subject: "Actually, we are also very curious about your serenade, Lucien."

With his own exclusive lounge and the piano room in the villa, Lucien's "creation" needs to be quiet.

Lucien smiled and shook his head: "It's only a few hours away."

…………

In the evening, sitting in the carriage he hired, Lucien arrived outside Felice's house in the aristocratic district.

The carriage has already parked the empty space opposite, and the three-storey villa, which is richly decorated and full of the Tririan palace style, is brightly lit and magnificent.

This villa itself was used by the old Earl Xiu to hold a banquet.

After entering the gate, walked through the garden, walked up the steps, and stepped on the neat stone brick floor, Lucien came to the entrance of the hall.

Phyllis changed into a family-style red court dress, with the skirt propped up, elegant and dignified, and accompanied by her mother, she greeted the guests.

Seeing Lucien approaching, Phyllis smiled sweetly and sincerely: "Thank you for coming, Lucien. Because of you, many musicians have come to the banquet, including President Christopher."

"The main thing is your identity." Lucien took Phyllis's hand and kissed the back of it.

Phyllis's mother looks very similar to her, with the same plump lips and bright appearance, but her hair is the most common brown. She warmly said: "Welcome our musical genius, and the entire Aalto noble circle is eager to welcome you!" to discuss you."

Because there were so many guests, Lucien walked in after exchanging a few words with Phyllis and her mother.

The layout of the hall, the arrangement of tables, food, flowers, etc. is basically the same as the last ball, which belongs to the unique style of Phyllis's family.

There were already quite a few guests inside, they were holding goblets, shuttled back and forth to communicate, and did not miss any chance to socialize.

"Hi, Evans." As they walked, many people greeted Lucien. They all belonged to the Musicians Association. Some of them were famous or ordinary musicians, and some of them had only written one or two pieces of music and hadn't been recognized yet. Among the new recruits, there are people who are already excellent musicians but are preparing to develop in the direction of musicians.

Their expressions are different, some are curious, some are expecting, some are fake smiles, some are perfunctory, and some are meaningful.

Known as the most outstanding and transformative musical genius, what kind of serenade would he come up with?

The serenade style for salons and banquets is more difficult to write a high-quality serenade than the serenade that expresses love or expresses a quiet and beautiful mood. Its style and subject matter limit it to be performed on such vulgar occasions, and cannot be performed on music. Will wait for the elegant stage.

"Probably just a fun and congratulatory piece. Don't expect too much." Many older musicians gathered around the old but beardless Christopher, discussing their views on Lucien's works.

Others who didn't speak were thinking quietly: "But we can use this to accuse him of being depraved and intoxicated by the reputation of genius."

Christopher nodded to Lucien who was looking over, and at the same time smiled kindly to the musicians around: "Give young people more space, and don't be too harsh on them. At this age, it is normal to fail in harvest. , failure can give them more wealth, of course, this age is also the time when creation is the most unrestrained, inspiration is the most surging and the most free, maybe there will be unexpected surprises?"

When Lucien came over, more than a dozen musicians stopped the topic and talked about music creation. Lucien took a glass of white water from the waiter who passed by with a tray, and spoke quietly with humility and respect. Listen to them discuss.

This made the older ones more satisfied, at least Lucien was not the kind of young man who would become arrogant and impolite when he had talent and fame.

Not long after, Victor, Lott, and Rhine also arrived one by one.

…………

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the joyous atmosphere in the banquet gradually solidified, and the musicians also stopped discussing. It was already half past seven, and Earl Hein hadn't come yet!

Phyllis' father, Urban, a middle-aged red-haired man with a beautiful mustache, also stood nervously at the door, thinking with an ugly face: "Hasn't Scott forgotten the past? But It's a younger generation's birthday party, how can you be so petty and narrow-minded!"

If Earl Hayne does not appear on this occasion, it will have a great impact on Felice's reputation in the aristocratic circle.

After another ten minutes, just as Phyllis's hands were wrung together again, the butler of Earl Hayne finally arrived, and said politely but with no expression on his face: "The Earl is sick and cannot come to the banquet, please Master Urban, you preside over it yourself."

Urbain was livid and unable to speak, Phyllis and her mother were pale and seemed to be out of breath.

Many nobles with titles who are closely related to the Hayne family are waiting for Earl Hayne's attitude. Therefore, many servants ran out in the dark near the villas and returned to report to their respective villas.

Fortunately, Urbain was the clerk of the city hall and had a lot of real power. Coupled with another reason, some minor nobles came one after another without being affected.

Taking two deep breaths, Urban signaled Phyllis and the others not to be affected, and continued to welcome the guests.

"It's really unfortunate. Unless the members who are disliked by the head of the family and the earl can stimulate the power of blood, no matter what path they take in the future, it will be very difficult." Komotz, a musician sponsored by Earl Hayne, pointed out He looked at Lucien and said.

Lucien pretended not to understand: "I think as long as you are talented and willing to work hard and endure hardships, and never give up in the face of difficulties, you will be able to blaze your own path."

The sound was a bit loud, spreading far in the oppressive and quiet hall.

After Phyllis vaguely heard it, she clenched her fists and her expression became resolute. Even a poor man like Lucien can succeed, why can't he dream and work hard?

The atmosphere slowly recovered, and Director Othello walked over with McCants and three strangers Lucien didn't know.

McCants first said hello to Christopher and other musicians, and then introduced on behalf of his teacher: "These three are musicians from Tria. After reading the score and related comments, I was very curious and admired the talented musician who created this great work, so I made a special trip to Alto, and when I heard that Lucien was here, I begged the teacher to bring them in."

"This is Mr. Clement, this is Mr. Barre, and this is Mr. Julien."

These three musicians from Tria are all young, in their twenties. Their long-term influence in music makes them look very good. With decent clothes, they look very comfortable on the outside, and at the same time they are full of The vigor and drive of young people.

"I remember that your teacher François mentioned you in a letter to me, saying that you are rare geniuses. Hehe, I have read all the works you created, and they are very good." Christopher listened After the name, I remembered their origins.

François, a native of the Kingdom of Syracuse, came to Artaud to study music when he was a teenager. He became a famous musician when he was less than thirty years old. He returned to his hometown a few years ago to serve as the chief music advisor to the royal family.

The three young musicians greeted the "living music legend" Christopher respectfully.

Then, McCants pointed at Lucien maliciously: "This is Lucien Evans, the talented musician who created the Symphony of Destiny, and he will present a newly composed serenade to the host of the banquet tonight as a gift." birthday present."

"A serenade? I also have a newly composed serenade, which happens to be given to the beautiful Miss Phyllis together. Hehe, it's just an apology and a birthday present for taking the liberty to visit." Julian, with black hair and brown eyes, was the most beautiful among the three. Talented, popular but also the most unruly and impulsive, and McCants seems to be more familiar with him.

Just as Lucien was about to answer, the hustle and bustle near the gate suddenly quieted down, and the "vigilant" long sword he was wearing made Lucien intuitively sense a familiar aura.

Looking back, through the crowd, Lucien saw a carriage parked in front of the steps, a heroic purple-haired beauty in a white knight uniform and black riding boots was slowly walking to the door, her left hand was struck by a A gentle girl in an elegant long skirt held the arms. The posture of the two peerless beauties left everyone dumbfounded, while Camille followed quietly.

"His Royal Highness?!" Phyllis exclaimed.
