76 Revelation (2/2)

”Evans, this is your office now. Unless you join other countries’ music associations, until the last day of your life, the office will still be yours.”

The building of the Musician’s Association was magnificent. A courtyard was surrounded by seventy to eighty different rooms on the third floor, but almost half of them were currently vacant, since many of the famous musicians in Aalto had been invited to other countries.

The office was decorated with a brown carpet, fine statues, paintings and lights. The dark blue couch looked very comfy, beside which stood a decent red wood desk. A milk-white piano was in the corner of the office. And there was also a den in the office, where the musician could rest a bit in the bed without being disturbed.

”It’s a great room.” Lucien smiled politely, ”Thank you, Mr. Hank.”

”You’re more than welcome, Evans. And just call me Hank.” Hank nodded.

After Hank left, Lucien closed the office door and walked back and forth in his office with great anger and anxiety.

He was holding back his emotion when he saw the fingers. Now he was by himself, Lucien could not take it anymore.

All of a sudden Lucien sat in front of the piano and pressed the keys with both of his hands. It was Symphony of Fate that Lucien was playing.

When the sound of the piano became louder and louder, Lucien started swearing in a low voice:

”Bastards! Jerks! You f**king evil kidnappers!”

...

The swearing was not only for venting, Lucien was testing to what extent the kidnappers could monitor him.

When he Finished playing, Lucien stood up and gave out a long sigh. Even if the heretics did hear his swearing just now, he could still explain to them that he was doing this was to prepare himself for the meeting with the princess tomorrow.

However, when Lucien came back to his home in Aderon, he only found a simple sentence on the letter.

”Music is an ideal way to release emotions, Mr. Evans.”

Although the kidnappers just wanted to remind Lucien that he was under their surveillance all the time, the message offered Lucien another piece of valuable information—the method the kidnappers were using couldn’t let them hear Lucien very well!

...

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Lucien arrived at Victor’s place on time.

Although without saying anything, the way Athy looked at Lucien was filled with gratefulness. Athy had been accompanying Victor for many years, and he was sincerely glad that the concert was a great success.

Renee, Colin and David were also there. They stood up and greeted, ”Good afternoon, Mr. Evans.”

Although Lucien’s success was not yet well-known among the common residents in Aalto, Renee, Colin and David had heard about it from Felicia and Annie’s conversation. All of a sudden they felt Lucien became strange in their eyes, and they subconsciously treated Lucien the same way they greeted their teacher Mr. Victor.

”I still feel it’s sort of unreal until now.” Lott stood up from the couch and gave Lucien a hug, smiling.

Felicia also walked close to Lucien, and whispered in his ear, ”Tomorrow afternoon, I shall be able to give you the roses.”

”Thank you. Thanks a lot, Felicia,” said Lucien sincerely.

Standing beside them, Lott almost could not believe his eyes.

”Since when they became this close to each other?” Lott wondered.
