297 A Good Actress (2/2)

The grand duke released a long sigh and nodded, ”That's true…”

After Gossett cast another level four divine spell, Recover, Lucien slowly opened his eyes. He looked around confusedly and asked, ”Why… What happened?”

Victor's brows tightly knotted together and he said in a very caring way, ”You shouldn't have pushed yourself this hard. Health should always come the first place. Do you really think that it's right for you to hold this concert when you're sick like this? Couldn't you just put if off a bit?”

Hearing Victor's questions, Lucien was a bit touched, ”I'm sorry, Mr. Victor. I was… just too excited about this concert, and I failed to stop. Now I'll take a good rest.”

Gossett slightly nodded, ”Mr. Evans, although the disease has been cured, you still have to take a long time to recover your life force.”

”You almost made my heart stop beating, but I guess it was worth it. I was totally impressed by Ode to Joy, so I've got nothing really to complain.” Seeing that Lucien was fine, Christopher joked a little.

Natasha released a sigh of relief and said to the cardinal, ”I gotta send Lucien back first. Then I'll be back so we can have a conversation about his future treatment.”

”Natasha, remember to tell people that I'm alright.” Lucien reminded her.

”I got it.” Natasha nodded. ”You just take a good rest.”

Seeing that Lucien was lying in Natasha's arms and their faces were so close together. Many people, including the grand duke, Christopher and Victor, put on an a slightly weird look.

After Natasha carried Lucien in her arms and left the hall, many nobles started to take glances at the grand duke, as if they were saying congratulations… The grand duke had no idea how to respond.

...

In the sky, Natasha said to Lucien with a smart smile on her face, ”After you 'die', I think my father won't force me to get married for a long time.”

Then her voice became a bit sad, ”He knows how it feels to lose your beloved ones in a few years.”

”I have to say that you're a good actress,” said Lucien sincerely.

”Of course. I like drama a lot!”

”So when you suggested that I should let the musician die, you already had this plan to use me to get rid of the pressure from your father?” Lucien grinned.

”Come on… It just came to me…” Natasha put on an awkward smile.

”Friends don't lie. You can just admit it.” Lucien lifted his eyebrows like Natasha.

Natasha switched the topic and looked around, ”Well, we gotta get you back home first, so then I can talk to Gossett to make sure your next step of the plan can work.”

Flying beside them and looking at them, with no facial expression on her face.

...

In the Psalm Hall, knowing that Lucien Evans was okay, the nobles were more relieved, and then they started to leave the hall, still feeling very excited.

What they did not know was that the moment when they saw Lucien slowly collapse to the floor like a black swan would in fact be their last look at this great musician.

After Christopher, Victor and Othello walked out of the Psalm Hall, when they saw the crowd that still lingered on the streets and around the square, they were very impressed.

Christopher said, ”I've never seen something like this before. Maybe I won't be able to see this again before I die.”

”Ode to Joy deserves this crazy affection,” said Othello seriously, who just could not resist the power of this kind of sacred music. ”As far as I'm concerned, Ode to Joy is the best symphony piece ever!”

Although he was right in front of Mr. Christopher, he still had to say so.
