Chapter 62: Trouble Solved

Lucien did not panic. Instead, a series of thoughts came to his mind:

“Did the church find out it was me?

“…No, it can’t be. If the church had found this out, they wouldn’t have waited until now. I was involved in the witch’s trouble before… I must be on their list of suspects, but not on the top.”

Lucien paused a bit and answered, “I stood up late to complete the last part of my music work, then I felt very sick in the morning, so I asked for a leave. Now I’m feeling much better. That’s it.”

“Did you see a doctor? What was wrong with you? Can anyone prove it?” Corella questioned closely.

“No one. I was not sick… I was just really tired,” Lucien answered calmly.

“I can prove for him, sir.” Victor took a step forward, “Every time when I finished composing, I felt the same tiredness.”

“You are…?” Corella glanced at him.

“Mr. Victor is Lucien’s music teacher, a musician.” Elena introduced, feeling very surprised that Lucien could somehow compose a piece of music so quickly.

Corella took out his quill and quickly wrote something down on his notebook, “I’m sorry, Mr. Victor. You’re Lucien’s teacher, so your testimony cannot be fully trusted. I wonder if there is anyone else who can prove for him, or I have to take him back to the church to do a physical examination, just in case.”

Lucien’s face did not show any different, but his mind was being busy with finding possible excuses. For a few seconds, he did not say anything.

“I can also prove for this young man. I’m the director of the association, Baron, Othello.” Hearing the noise, Othello came out of his office, “Lucien just finished his first music work. It was great. He must have devoted all his soul and strength to it.”

Although Othello disliked this young man’s music style, he still admitted Lucien’s talent and effort. Besides, the upcoming concert, and also the association, needed Lucien.

Corella nodded, and wrote a line of words on the notebook again.

“With your words, Mr. Baron, I believe it’s time for me to leave now.”

Actually, Corella himself did not believe that Lucien would be the the one under the wanted-notice either. According to the information from the inquisition, they were looking for a sorcerer at least of the third circle. There was no way that an ordinary young man who was a nobody three months before could turn into an evil and powerful sorcerer so quickly.

The cardinals of the inquisition did not put Lucien’s name on the list in the first round either.

Now there was a Baron speaking for Lucien. Pissing off a noble was the last thing he wanted to do before he became a real knight.

Watching Corella leaving, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t let this bother you two. I’m gonna be very demanding.” Othello nodded to them and went back in his office.

“Oh my god, Lucien, Mr. Othello said you composed your own musical work? Holy…” Elena looked Lucien up and down as if he suddenly became a stranger.

Lucien just nodded with a smile.

“What is going on here? Why are you here, Victor?” It was Wolf, who was walking downstairs.
