Chapter 102: Silvia’s Father
Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion
Although Lucien had completed the serenade called For Silvia and had given the music sheet to the princess, he was still allowed to go to Natasha’s study to read the books under her permission. She was hoping that the classic literature works might inspire him to produce more excellent music pieces.
Thus, every Tuesday and Thursday Lucien arrived two hours earlier than before, to read some books and then meet the princess.
......
”What are you doing here?” Bake was walking around in the study after translating for a long time, and he asked Lucien with curiosity.
”I’m taking notes,” answered Lucien briefly, ”for future reference.”
Actually, there was no need for Lucien to take any notes at all, but Lucien’s super outstanding memory surprised Bake a few times in the past two months. Lucien was a bit concerned that Bake might report this to the princess or someone else. In order to attract less suspicions, Lucien needed to do something to justify his great memory.
”Can I take a look at your notes?” Bake asked.
”Sure.” Lucien pushed a pile of notes toward the scholar.
Bake picked up a few pages and glanced at them, ”Interesting. I’ve never seen anyone taking notes like this. It looks like you’re following a time order, from the Dark Era to the Saint Calendar, but you also wrote down the many stories in a biographic way.”
”Yes, to serve my purpose.” Lucien nodded, ”For me, the stories are more valuable as resources providing me with inspiration than a mere historical timeline, although time’s still important.”
”I see,” Bake said to Lucien. ”No wonder you have such good memory. I was very surprised with how fast you can remember all the things. Actually, this method can be a brand new way of recording history.”
”Oh, thank you, Mr. Bake.” Lucien put on a smile on his face, knowing that it was not his credit. He just borrowed this method from somewhere else in his original world.
”It seems like you’re becoming a historian now, Lucien.” When they were talking, Natasha entered the study.
”Your Grace,” Lucien and Bake saluted together.
Natasha pulled Lucien out of the study with a big smile on her face.
”It seems Silvia likes the serenade, doesn't she?” Lucien also grinned.
”Oh my! She likes it? She loves it!” Natasha was excited, ”Silvia did not have a party for her birthday last night, but she said the serenade was the best gift.”
”I’m very glad that you ladies like it,” said Lucien.
”And I did not lie to Silvia. I told her that For Silvia was your work.” Natasha’s eyes were shining with joy, ”Silvia appreciates your effort very much, and she wants to invite you for dinner tonight, at her place.”
”I appreciate Silvia’s kindness, but it’s not necessary…” Lucien was a bit hesitant.
”Come on, Lucien.” Natasha insisted, ”I don’t want to let Silvia down. And it will be a small, personal, family dinner. Only Silvia, her father, lady Camil and I will be there.”
”Well, the thing is…” Lucien scratched his head a bit, ”I thought Silvia would be mad at me. You know, after all, I was being your ghostwriter.”
”No worries. Silvia’s always sweet and considerate. That’s why I love her so much.” Natasha did not give up, ”She knows that I’m not good at love-themed music, and she still appreciates my effort of practicing the serenade and playing it for her on her birthday.”
”All right.” Finally, Lucien nodded.
......
At seven in the evening. No. 78, Gesu District.
Silvia lived in a two-storey, light yellow house. There were a few kinds of cold-resistant flowers still blooming in the garden.
”Welcome, Lucien.” Silvia and her father were waiting for him.
