Seeing Lucien, Lilith was both excited and shy, ”Your performance in that restaurant was awesome!”
Lucien somehow asked subconsciously, ”Why are you two still in Aalto?”
”We still have time until…” Before Lilith finished her phrase, Sala cut her off directly, since he realized that his younger sister might spill the beans inadvertently.
”Mr. Evans, why did you think we wouldn’t stay here for the music festival?” As soon as he asked, Sala regretted that he asked the question in such a harsh defensive way, which could make he and Lilith even more suspicious.
Lucien got a bit nervous too. He did not want Lilith and Sala to realize that he actually knew more about the ruins of a magic site than they thought.
”You two were in quite a hurry when you visited me,” Lucien’s mind was working fast, ”and I thought you had something urgent. That’s why.”
”Oh… I see.” Sala relaxed a bit and switched to a safer topic, ”Like Lilith said, your playing was very impressive.”
After chatting a bit more, Sala left with his younger sister, although the latter was a bit reluctant to stop the conversation with Lucien.
Watching Sara and Lilith leaving, Lucien slightly frowned his brows, feeling a bit concerned. He was not sure whether today’s meeting with the brother and sister was just a coincidence or something else.
However, Lucien would not let his concern ruin his beautiful day. He still spent a very pleasant afternoon with Iven hanging around and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
...
In the evening, Lucien took Iven to Joel and Alisa and had dinner with them. Then, they walked toward the central square. Tonight, the square was way busier than usual, and the whole place was literally packed. People gathered here to enjoy tonight’s concert in the Psalm Hall through the divine power circle.
The divine power circle was actually visible, which seemed to be more like a transparent crystal dome floating in the air than a commonly-imaged mysterious magic circle. Through this huge dome screen, people on the square could watch the spectacular performance and enjoy the wonderful music simultaneously.
”Wow…” Iven drawled with surprise.
”It looks like we cannot go anywhere closer,” said Joel. ”Let’s just stay here.”
”We’re not staying here!” refused Alisa, ”What can we see from here?”
As she was talking, Alisa was about to take advantage of her weight to open a path for them.
”Auntie Alisa,” Lucien smiled and stopped her, ”I actually know a better place than the square.”
...
The town hall of Aalto was a five-storey building, sitting on the other side of the central square.
”Felicia’s father, Mr. Urbain, is the chief clerk here,” Lucien explained. ”He invited us to enjoy the concert on the top floor.”
When they got closer, Lucien saw that Felicia was already waiting there at the back gate of the town hall.
Due to the limited amount of seat that the Psalm Hall could provide and the large number of distinguished guests coming from other countries, even Mr. Urbain was not invited for tonight’s concert. As for the musicians’ association, only the most well-known musicians would be invited, like Mr. Victor, whose concert just achieved a great success in the Psalm Hall.
