92 The Prophecy (2/2)
Lucien slept very well last night. He woke up with the pleasant twitter of birds around eight in the morning.
The ball ended very late. Many people were still in their beds. Thus, no one urged Lucien to go for breakfast.
It was the first time Lucien enjoyed such nice and soft blankets since he crossed over to this world, thus it took Lucien more than half an hour to actually get up and get dressed.
When Lucien was walking downstairs, a maid came to him and smiled, ”Good morning, Mr. Evans, what do you want to have for breakfast?”
”Bread, cheese sausage… with milk, please,” answered Lucien. He ordered a rich breakfast since he had a pretty good work out last night.
”Sure.” The maid nodded, ”You’d like to have the breakfast in the dining room or your own room, sir?”
Lucien glanced at the dining room downstairs and saw Rhine was sitting there.
”Dining room, thank you.”
When Lucien entered the dining room, Rhine was sending a piece of rare-cooked steak into his mouth.
”Morning, Lucien!” greeted Rhine, ”You really should try the steak, very juicy.”
Lucien took an opposite seat and said to the maid, ”A steak for me, please. Medium.”
Then Lucien turned to Rhine and smiled, ”Good breakfast starts a good day.”
”Also a perfect supplement for a good work out,” said Rhine meaningfully.
”Evans, Yvette is like a beast.” A young noble man was sitting beside them. He laughed a bit, but had clearly misunderstood their conversation.
”Come on, Albay. I didn’t do anything last night.” Lucien was introduced to this young man last night by Felicia, ”I hurt my ankle.”
”I see. No wonder…” Albay laughed even harder, ”No wonder Yvette went for hunting very early this morning and she looked angry. Good for you, Lucien.”
The breakfast was pleasant. Seeing that Rhine almost finished his food, Lucien asked hurriedly, ”Can you tell me where it is… the dream like place that you mentioned to me last night?”
”Since it’s as beautiful as paradise, I’ll tell you the location after you can hold your own concert, as an award.” Rhine smiled in a cunning way. To him, it was very interesting to see Lucien’s growth.
After Rhine left, Albay asked Lucien curiously, ”Where is that place you were talking about?”
”I don’t know. He won’t tell me right now,” answered Lucien, shrugging his shoulders.
What he knew was that his life had better go back to normal, at least for a period of time, to meet Rhine’s requirement as soon as possible. Firstly, Lucien had to abandon the pseudonym Professor.
Finishing his breakfast, Lucien saw a sleepy Felicia coming downstairs. He greeted, ”Good morning, Felicia.”
”Morning, Lucien. How’s your ankle?” asked her.
”It’s fine now,” answered Lucien. ”I’m sorry, Felicia. I’m afraid I cannot go hunting today. I have to go now to deal with some of my personal stuff.”
”What happened?” Felicia asked with concern.
”Sorry, but I have to keep it a secret, Felicia,” Lucien put on a slightly awkward look, ”since it has something to do with the princess.”
”Sure, Lucien.” Felicia was a bit surprised for a moment, ”I’ll send a coach for you.”
Getting on the coach, Lucien asked the coachman to go to Lord Venn’s manor first.
