Chapter 74: Felicia’s Request

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

Looking around, Lucien made sure there was no one near them. Then Felicia and Lucien walked through the garden in front of the house.

“Can I ask you to do me a favor, Felicia?” Lucien looked serious.

“A favor?” Felicia slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, “My father’s just a chief clerk, and my uncle never liked us. I’m not sure if I can help.”

If Lucien asked before the concert, Felicia would directly reject him. However, now that Felicia had seen Lucien’s talent, she knew that having a good relationship with Lucien would definitely benefit her a lot. What the noble life taught Felicia in the past years was not only how to enjoy the luxury lifestyle, but also how to weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

Lucien spoke to Felicia with a bit hesitation, “I have a good friend, John. He’s currently Lord Venn’s high level knight squire. John’s family offered me lots of help when I was sick and poor. Since last night the concert was a great success, I believe it’s time for me to pay them back. And the best way is to help John become a real knight.”

“I think I know what you want now.” Felicia guessed, “You want to buy Moonlight Rose from me to help your friend awaken his Blessing?”

“Yes, I believe it’s the best I can do.” Lucien was sort of relieved that Felicia did not doubt his motive.

“You’re a good person, Lucien.” Felicia appreciated his character, “It’s pleasant to have a friend like you. But Lucien, Moonlight Rose is expensive, and it’s never a guarantee for awakening Blessing. Many nobles tried and failed…”

Felicia’s heart slightly sank when she was speaking, since she was one of the nobles she just mentioned.

“I did some research about it.” Lucien was trying to make his request as reasonable as possible, “John’s a promising young man. Lord Venn might soon award John with some of the dust of the rose, but it probably won’t be enough. The more dust of Moonlight Rose John has, the better the chance he would have to successfully awaken his Blessing. I want to help John with it.”

A beautiful smile appeared on Felicia’s face. She slightly nodded, “Well… you’re really something, Lucien. How much do you want, then?”

“Fifty grams.” Lucien needed to make sure that he would have enough of the ingredients to make the potion named Crying Soul, including the possible failures during the process.

“What? That’s too much!” Felicia was very surprised, “Based on my status in the family, I can only buy up to ten grams.”

Although Felicia’s father and the current Earl Hayne were brothers, they had a poor relationship with each other due to the many years of contending for power. Thanks to the generous legacy left by the previous Earl, Felicia’s grandfather, Felicia’s family could still maintain a decent noble lifestyle.

“Felicia, can you figure out a way to get more? As much as possible…” Lucien came up with another reason, “I heard people say that the dust of Moonlight Rose can also improve one’s coordination. I might need some as well to improve my piano playing skill. I’ll never forget your help, Felicia.”

Crossing her hands together, many thoughts flashed through Felicia’s mind. As friends, she could help Lucien with ten grams of the rose. However, now Lucien was asking way more than that, then Felicia needed to see how she could benefit from it.

Lucien did not urge Felicia, leaving her some time to consider. A while later Felicia said to Lucien seriously, “Ten grams from my father. Yvette and Melissa, ten grams each. Lucien, forty grams is my limit, and I won’t do this for free.”

Although Felicia did not have any title, and her family status was not very superordinate, as a noble, Felicia’s social circle was still of great value.

“Forty grams… Well, let’s do forty grams. Thank you so much, Felicia, and what you want me to do?” asked Lucien.
