90 Everyone Loved the Moon (2/2)

Lucien forced a smile on his face, ”If I told you that I’m wandering here to enjoy the beautiful silver moon tonight, would you believe my words?”

When he was talking, Lucien lowered his head and looked at himself. Parts of his lower arms were stained by muddy water, and his shirt was crumpled out of shape. Most importantly, as he looked up, Lucien found that the silver moon was hidden by the tall stone wall.

What an excellent excuse it was!

”Yes, I believe your words, because…” Rhine shrugged his shoulders, ”I’m here for the moon as well.”

”Ah…?” Lucien was suddenly at a loss.

”For sure… Did you see how charming, how bright the silver moon is tonight!” Rhine raised his head and praised the stone wall standing in front of him with affection, ”We are here for the same reason, aren’t we?”

”Well…” Lucien took a longer breath and became serious, ”Can you tell me who you are, Mr. Rhine?” As he could not pretend he was an innocent young man anymore, Lucien decided to ask Rhine directly, and he had the feeling that Rhine held no hostility toward him.

”I’m just a bard.” Rhine shook his head, ”A bard who has nothing to do with the place you are longing for. And even if I tell you where it is, you are still not capable of going there.”

”You can tell me now! At least I can have a more specific goal!” asked Lucien eagerly.

”My suggestion is that you should work hard and become a real musician, then you can travel to the many countries around the continent. That’ll be a great benefit to your goal.” Then Rhine turned around and left.

Lucien was confused. Eager as he was, he knew that he must leave now, in case someone else showed up.

After climbing into the guest room, Lucien put the two sapphires back into his pocket and lay down.

What happened tonight already seemed like a dream to Lucien. Shutting down the brain and feeling the cozy blanket, he slowly fell into sleep.

Lucien did not know how long his sleep lasted when he was awakened by a gentle knock at the door.

”Who is that?” asked Lucien in a low voice.

”It’s me, Yvette. Do you want to take a walk with me to enjoy the fantastic silver moon tonight?” invited the noble lady in an alluring way.

Lucien was a bit choked with what Yvette just said. He was already very impressed with the moon, and it seemed like everyone wanted to take a walk in the moonlight that night.

”Well… I’m terribly sorry, Yvette. I twisted my ankle and I’m feeling sleepy.” Lucien refused her directly, ”Maybe next time. Thank you for asking.”

Yvette slightly stamped her foot with disappointment and anger outside of Lucien’s room, ”Such an idiot! I bet you’ll come to me and beg me on your own someday, Lucien!”

...

After hearing Yvette’s steps leaving, Lucien lay down again to go back to sleep.

”Lucien, look what you’ve just done! No wonder you have no girlfriend!” A female voice came from the window, ”You should learn from me! I always knocked the door of Silvia’s room at midnight.”

It was Princess Natasha, who was standing on the windowsill, followed by lady Camil floating in the air. With a longsword in one hand and her visor in the other hand, Natasha’s purple hair was fluttering in the wind. The central part of her white armor was dark red, which was from the blood of a dragon.

Noticing that Lucien was looking at her armor, Natasha smiled, ”You like this armor, don’t you? It’s called Dragon Blood, I’m wearing it because I just came back from the battle with Argent Horn.”

Pausing a bit, Natasha continued, ”By the way, Lucien, would you like to take a walk in the beautiful moonlight? Hahaha…”
