73 Unexpected Information (2/2)

“Well… then you might have to wait a bit, Mr. Evans.” Yvette’s smile was very charming, “Since the concert was a great success, Felicia is still praying in Golden Cathedral to thank the blessing of God. And, by the way, just call me Yvette. I’m a fan of your music, Mr. Evans.”

“Then miss Yvette, you just call me Lucien.” Lucien worked at a smile, “I can just wait for Felicia to come back outside of her house.”

“If you don’t mind, Lucien, I can give you a lift.” Yvette took off her crape bonnet and her beautiful face was completely revealed, “You’re two years younger than me. What a genius you are.”

Her maid opened the coach door and invited Lucien to come in. It seemed like Yvette did not worry at all that this might damage her reputation as a noble lady.

Lucien did not refuse. As a member of the Hill family, Yvette was also able to get Moonlight Rose. If Felicia rejected Lucien’s request, becoming a friend with lady Yvette would be Lucien’s second possible chance.

Entering the carriage, a sweet, alluring scent snuck into Lucien’s nose.

“Very nice… A genius is indeed different,” said Yvette with satisfaction, “Most of the men that I invited before were just hypocritical. They wanted to come in, but they didn’t dare.”

Leaning forward, her plump and fair chest was half revealed in front of Lucien.

However, Lucien was really not in the mood. Slightly turning his eyes away, Lucien forced a smile, “Stick to your own path, and let the irrelevant people say whatever they want to say. It doesn’t matter.”

“Interesting. I like it.” Yvette’s eyes lit up for a moment, “You’re more interesting than I thought, Lucien.”

The coach went slowly. Inside of the coach, Yvette was casually talking to Lucien about music, and purposefully made tiny physical contact with Lucien. Unfortunately Lucien’s mind was completely occupied by the kidnapping, and he completely ignored this noble lady’s elaborate seducing. Yvette was quite disappointed.

Half an hour later, Yvette’s coach finally stopped in front of a luxurious three-storey house. At the same time, Felicia’s carriage arrived as well.

“Lucien? Why you’re with Yvette?” Felicia looked at her classmate quizzically.

Getting off the coach, Lucien answered, “I was looking for you when I met lady Yvette. She kindly offered me a ride.”

“What did you do, Yvette?” Felicia looked a bit angry.

“What can I do?” Yvette grinned in her coach, “No worries, Felicia. I prefer mysterious sorcerers compared with musicians.”

“What do you mean? Since when you changed your preference?” asked Felicia with surprise.

“Since last night,” replied Yvette full of yearning, “Last night during the concert, I heard Cardinal Sard and the grand duke were talking about a mysterious sorcerer called ‘Professor’. I’m very curious… after all I haven’t tried any sorcerer yet. I wonder… these gloomy guys who always hide their faces in their hoods… what do they look like when they are naked in bed, and how they react when they see a beautiful woman...”

As the youngest daughter of Earl Hill, she was qualified to sit in the same balcony with the grand duke.

“Yvette…” Felicia was speechless. Although Yvette and Felicia were pretty good friends, Felicia never understood Yvette’s openness with men. As a very maverick noble lady in Aalto, Yvette was even much more open than the noble madams and ladies in the palace of Tria.

Lucien was very surprised, not because of Yvette’s openness, but the fact that the church and the grand duke had already found out his pseudonym, “Professor”.

Was anyone caught that night? Or were there moles among the sorcerers… Lucien wondered, with his back being covered by a thin layer of cold sweat. Lucien was just about to buy some magic potions that increased his power from the other sorcerers to save Joel and his family. Luckily, he heard the conversation between the noble ladies. What a valuable piece of information!

“I have to go now. Bye.” Yvette was happy to see the surprised look on both Felicia and Lucien’s faces. Turning around, Yvette’s coach left.

Noticing that Lucien was still staring at the coach in a trance, Felicia sneered at him,

“You want to be part of Yvette’s collection, don’t you?”

And then she paused a bit and asked, “Why you came to me today, Lucien?”
