Lucien bowed to the audience over and over again. And the thunder-like applause was still going on. And the people on the square were still shouting at the top of their lungs.

Those nobles and famous musicians in the hall were touched, and they, especially the nobles, had not been touched so deeply for a long time. They tended to forget their own feelings, joy, sorrow, love, anger, just to be less vulnerable.

However, no one could resist the power of music. Nobles were still human beings. Even though many of them had awakened their Blessings, being physically strong could not turn their hearts into rocks.

The beauty of music was shared by all, regardless of social status, gender or age.

Only a few religious zealots remained relatively calm.

Lucien had no idea how many times he bowed to the audience. After a long time, they slowly calmed down, feeling both tired and peaceful.

”The best piano sonata I’ve ever heard!” Staring at the crystal dome, Piola exclaimed, ”Similar to Symphony of Fate, but also different. The emotion is deeper… more conservative.”

Sharon nodded and smiled, ”I can image that Pathetique will become the classic sonata in terms of musical expressiveness.”

”Aalto Music Festival was definitely worthy of our seven-month traveling.” Grace looked serious, ”After seeing Mr. Evans’s playing, I want to stay in Aalto to learn piano.”

”Get real, Grace.” Green said to her, ”Mr. Evans already gave us some suggestions for our fantasia. Come back with us and let’s focus on our own music work. We will become famous in Sturk pretty soon, I believe.”

”I agree. If you stay, Grace,” Sharon added, ”you won’t be able to afford a music instructor here in Aalto. And since Aalto is filled with great musicians, how long do you think it will take you to stand out here?”

Finally Grace nodded and sighed, ”I guess you guys are right. Don’t forget to buy the latest Music Criticism and Symphony News. They will be very helpful for the future of our music.”

The other band members nodded. They would definitely buy a lot of them in Aalto so they could take the newspapers back and make some money from the big price difference.

After standing on the square silently for a while, Lilith and Sala exchanged a look and turned around to head for the city gate.

”After we become real…” Sala paused a bit and gently patted on his younger sister’s shoulder, ”we will travel across the continent and find a safe place where we don’t have to live in fear anymore.”

Lilith nodded seriously, ”Yes, then we’ll be hiding no more.”

...

In the backstage of the Psalm Hall, Lucien unbuttoned his suit jacket and then hugged Rhine, ”Thank you, Mr. Rhine. The concert wouldn’t be this successful without your help.”

Then Lucien asked Rhine in a low voice, ”And can you tell me where’s it now?”

Rhine smiled and whispered, ”You’re so impatient, Lucien. I’ll visit you tomorrow night.”

Then Rhine raised up his voice, ”Congratulations, Lucien!”
