Victor didn’t loosen his fist until the gate of the hall slowly closed. With a long sigh, he turned around and said to Rhine and the rest of the orchestra, “I’m going back to my office to finish my work. Everyone, keep practicing please.”

“Mr. Victor, please don’t push yourself too much.” Rhine put down his violin and walked to Victor. His face looked serious, “I don’t think you can come up with a good melody with your current mood.”

Victor’s mind was being bothered by fatigue, depression and anger at the same time. He nodded, “Thank you, Rhine. I just… need some rest.”

“Lucien, Lott, you two accompany Mr. Victor to his office. Felicia and Herodotus, you two keep practicing.” Rhine said to the students.

On the way to the third floor, Victor didn’t say anything. Neither Lucien nor Lott knew what to do, so they just followed him silently.

Before leaving the office, Lucien noticed that Victor was looking at a lifelike portrait hanging on the wall. On the portrait there was a beautiful young woman with a smile on her face. She had black hair and black eyes.

When Lucien closed the door, Victor was still staring at the portrait like a statue.

…………

When Lucien and Lott came back to the practice room on the fourth floor, they saw Felicia and Herodotus were lost in thought.

“Well…” Lott tried to break the silence, “All director Othello asked was to give a smooth concert, Mr. Victor might feel less stressed now.” Apparently, his words didn’t help.

“Come on… I care about Mr. Victor’s performance very much, okay?” Lott hurriedly added, “You all saw my cousin Mekanzi. If Mr. Victor’s concert can be a huge success, I can call myself the student of a top musician, which will help me with my qualification test.”

Felicia puckered her mouth a bit, “Yes, we are all linked to Mr. Victor. I’m worried about him. If the concert goes wrong, I can’t imagine what is waiting for him.”

On the other side, Herodotus leaned his forehead against his violin, murmuring.

Lucien got ignored again, but he didn’t care at all. He was also busy with thinking. In order to repay Victor’s kindness, Lucien was looking for a musical masterpiece from his world as a plan B. Before that, he had gone through all the songs in his spirit library to make sure there was nothing similar to what he was going to choose. The work was actually easier than Lucien thought, since all the songs were stored in Lucien’s spirit library and he could easily search them in his storage. Then Lucien had to find a proper way to give the music to Mr. Victor.

Fortunately, Lucien had finished the difficult part – translation. When Lucien was practicing reading music here, he marked many masterpieces from his world with the notes he had learned here.

During this period of time, Lucien had a better understanding toward the music trend in this world. Being affected by the church, music in Aalto featured traditional structure and religious style. Lucien wanted to choose one that fitted the trend. Therefore, Bach came first to his mind since his music also had some religious taste.
