Throne of Magical Arcana

In the early morning, a high-end hotel in Nolan District.

Lucien sent Leo to the next room to rest early, and told him not to be surprised if he heard any movement here tonight.

After meeting Natasha, Lucien believed that with her identity and status as Countess of Violet and her strength as a sky knight, as long as she didn't deliberately hide, she would be able to find herself easily in Alto City.

Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Lucien sat leisurely on the sofa, but he didn't drink it, but just shook it gently, recalling the past from the bright red ripples.

This is the "Berne" wine produced in Felice's family manor, which can only be tasted at the banquets and dances held by her family, but this hotel is inextricably linked with the Hayne family, so it gets A few bottles, as a gimmick to attract some wealthy businessmen.

Bang Bang Bang, there was a clear and rhythmic knock on the window, Lucien turned his head with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Natasha appearing on the balcony in a lavender court dress, followed by an elegant and serious black man without exception. skirt Camille.

It really is a sky knight, even though I have been waiting for her, paying attention to the outside of the window and the door, I still found out after she landed on the balcony. Lucien put down the "Berne" wine while feeling something in his heart, and walked to the window. By the side, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Good evening, Lucien." Natasha greeted her relaxedly, and then said with a smile, "The silver moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight. I wonder if you are interested in taking a walk and enjoying the moon together?"

Lucien laughed out loud, "You really..."

A simple joke from the past immediately dissipated a little estrangement that hadn't been seen for several years.

Perhaps because of her advanced relationship with the Sky Knight, Natasha's appearance has hardly changed. She is still the brightest and most beautiful appearance in her twenties, with a mature atmosphere and full of vitality, but her temperament is much calmer. Like a great aristocrat in power at all times.

"You haven't changed much..."

"You have matured a lot, more like a man..."

Lucien and Natasha spoke at the same time, and then smiled at each other, showing the tacit understanding of good friends.

"Good evening, Your Royal Highness, good evening, Ms. Camille." After laughing, Lucien greeted Camille who followed Natasha like a shadow.

After seeing the power of "Withered Shadow" Earl Werther, Lucien felt the horror of this "Dark Blue Tide".

Camille nodded slightly as a gift, and continued to follow Natasha quietly.

Natasha strode forward with slender legs with amazing beauty and strength, and sat on the sofa as freely and unrestrainedly as in the "War Gallery" of Lataxia Palace, then raised her purple eyebrows, and looked at Lucien carefully: " Although it's pretty good for you, Lucien, but I still prefer your original appearance, black hair and black eyes, handsome and beautiful."

"Why do you feel like you're describing a lady?" Lucien also joked unrestrainedly. In fact, when I crossed over, my appearance could only be regarded as handsome, but with the study of music and various dangerous experiences, my temperament became quiet and calm, elegant and calm, which made my appearance more attractive. Shang was underage at the time, so he gradually became handsomer, but compared with naturally handsome men like Rhine and the others, there was still a big gap.

Natasha laughed dryly, and then said proudly: "After I came out of the bottom of the monastery, I thought that you might have returned to Alto, and even if you hadn't, you would definitely come back within two or three months. I was worried that you might not be able to find me. Opportunity to meet me, so I estimated when the tourists coming from the northern province of Tilan will enter the city, and then go back and forth to the manor every day according to the time, so that even if you don’t meet by chance, you can still find it in a fixed place after a little inquiry. Go to the road I passed by during the time period and wait. Haha, who knew that you could directly sense Lucien's familiar breath at the gate of the city today."

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, triumphant, and she showed off her "foresight" and dedication to her good friends without any shyness or concealment.

"Actually, I was worried about how I would meet you, Natasha, and I wanted to collect information about you like an assassin, and then sneak up in front of you." Lucien said his troubles at that time, with a gentle smile Looking at Natasha, "But the problem has been solved by you, Your Highness Princess..."

When they were far away, Natasha's eyes were still dreamy purple, but when they were so close, Lucien could see the silvery purple under her purple eyes, which were crystal clear, deep and charming, as if he could Devours people's hearts. It seems that after three years of living as an ascetic monk, she has completely mastered the power of blood.

After receiving affirmative praise, Natasha became more and more happy, and asked about Lucien's experience in Allinge, in the Kingdom of Holm, and during the journey with great interest.

Due to the collapse of the Great Cross Mystery, Natasha must have known about the existence of the Necromancer Realm, but she probably regarded it as an ordinary undead-type alien space like most of those who knew, so Lucien concealed the involvement. Part of the encounter with the important secrets of the Necromancer world, the truth about Miller’s experiment, and the existence of the library, all the bits and pieces that have been mentioned in the letter and have not been mentioned.

It has to be said that Natasha is a very good listener, who can ask questions and echo appropriately, and casually talk about her own experience, allowing Lucien to talk about sex so intensely that he didn't finish until late at night.

Regarding Lucien's experience, Natasha had already expressed a lot of opinions while listening to it. At this moment, she said with a strange expression: "Lucien, you don't seem to have talked about your emotional experience? Could it be that in Allinge, in A place where you can learn magic openly, and you haven't started a sweet love? Such a life is very regrettable!"

"Because I just arrived in Allinge, I have to make up for my arcane skills and improve my magic power. I don't have time to chase after women. I'm too busy. Well, I'm really too busy. I should do it in the future." Lucien was a little embarrassed to answer.

Natasha stretched out her right hand and rubbed her white chin, still with that strange expression: "It's not common sense! Girls in Allinge, I remember that the standards are generally higher than those of Rentat and Aalto. Lucien, you are young and outstanding, your magic power is very strong for your age, your arcane skills are even more terrifying, and you are the youngest winner of the Holm Crown Award, so no matter how busy you are, there should be girls who take the initiative to show their affection to you. Could it be, could it be that you actually like men?"

She diverged from her own tendencies.

"How is it possible! I'm really too busy!" Lucien emphasized, "In Allinge, there were indeed a few girls who hinted at it, but I really didn't feel attracted to them. I would rather not have such a thing as a relationship. Make do with it!"

Natasha left her chin with her right hand, patted the shoulder of Lucien who was sitting opposite, and said earnestly: "It's okay, I can understand, and I won't discriminate against you."

"Really not, Your Royal Highness, don't get it wrong..." Lucien reckoned that Natasha had already woven a "epic and tearful love story" in her heart, and he repeatedly denied it helplessly.

Natasha chuckled twice, like a fox who has stolen a chick, then she changed the subject tactfully, and asked doubtfully: "Why does a certain Your Excellency let you send a letter to the Dark Mountains? Needless to say, it is dangerous Now, isn’t this a waste of time? With the ability of a legendary magician, jumping through the starry sky, you can reach the depths of the Dark Mountains from Allinge in just afternoon tea time..."

She has a close relationship with Grand Arcanist Hathaway, and she has much more knowledge than Lucien in this regard.

"I've always wondered, maybe there are other reasons. For example, the King of Nightmares is worried about the impact of modern arcane theories, so he refuses to meet magicians above the middle level..." Lucien guessed.

Natasha frowned and thought for a while: "It's hard to say. But you don't have to worry, Lucien. The Magic Council will definitely not let a young arcanist with amazing potential like you really die in the Dark Mountains, and neither will legendary magicians." It may be deliberately against you."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at the wall clock, and suddenly laughed, making the whole room feel bright: "It's almost five o'clock, and we've talked for so long, I forgot to welcome you back."

So, she stood up, patted the court dress, and showed a beautiful smile: "Welcome back, my knight!"

Lucien also took Natasha's right hand with a smile, and kissed it lightly on the back of her hand with the etiquette of a knight: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Highness the Princess."

After advancing to the Sky Knight, Natasha's hands became fairer and more delicate than before, which complemented the slender and beautiful shape, and her strength was completely restrained.

Natasha waited quietly until Lucien finished the knight salute, and then smiled humorously: "My knight, have you forgotten something?"

"Yes." Lucien rubbed his forehead, "I wanted to ask at the very beginning, has my identity as a musician been exposed by the Church? John, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, Little Ivan, Irene How are they doing now?"

Natasha said "wow": "There are so many questions, I have to answer them slowly."

"From what I heard inside the Holy City, after you won the Holm Crown Award, regardless of your appearance, age, or strength, you have been collected by the Church, but the continuous impact of experiments at that time diverted the Church's attention. You are not 'enough' to enter the purification sequence, so you are not wanted across the continent, and have not been issued to the Diocese of Viorit. In a short time, there is no possibility of being exposed."

She knew about Miller's experiment from Lucien's letter, and she was confused for a long time, but before the church re-explained the revised version of the "God-given life" theory, she had calmed down, and her piety seemed to remain the same.

Then Natasha said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, Lucien, I was wrong in my prediction."

"Huh?" Lucien looked at Natasha suspiciously.

Natasha continued to say solemnly: "I suggest you keep your status as a musician because I want you to have an aboveboard status that can travel across the continents for a long time, but I didn't expect you to win the Holm Crown Award so soon. It was unexpected. In this way, being a musician becomes a burden for you, so find an opportunity, such as after a brilliant concert, and let the musicianship die. It is better than traveling and disappearing. Make your friends and people who like you feel better."

"I have no regrets about my identity as a musician, but if I fake my death, it will make Uncle Joel and John feel sad. And as I enter the purification sequence in the future, the church will link me with the dead musician sooner or later. John and the others are at a disadvantage." Lucien expressed his confusion and worry.

Natasha smiled slightly and said: "Friends can hide it, relatives don't. Because as you said, Lucien, as you grow up, the church will find this out sooner or later, which may endanger your relatives. Hehe, when the time comes You can hold a concert in Holm. So just tell them you're a magician, see their reaction, and invite them to live in Holm."

Neither Lucien himself nor Natasha doubted the possibility of entering the purification sequence.

"It's best if they can accept your identity and invitation. If they can't accept them, or they can accept your identity but are unwilling to leave Alto, then I'll 'watch' them and let them go to church after you leave. Report that you are a magician, make a false impression that you have severed ties with you, or even become an enemy. In this way, and with my mediation, they will not be endangered because you are a magician." When speaking, Natasha Her demeanor became more calm and introverted, hard to see through, like a real grand duchess.

"This is really a cruel method." Lucien said with a little emotion.

Natasha maintained a decisive smile and said: "Sometimes, cruelty is also a kind of tenderness."

"Natasha, you are becoming more and more like a philosopher." Lucien used a joke to resolve his complicated emotions.

Natasha sighed inaudibly, and laughed at herself: "Everyone who loses love is a philosopher."
