before he was crowned king

"So...Xion knew about it all along?" Lilian covered her mouth in disbelief, "He knows his identity?"

"The viscount must have recalled something." The old housekeeper's expression became very sad, "Ms. Dinia was brought back from Dongyang by the master, because the master and his wife had already had an engagement at that time, so Dinia The young lady became the master's mistress. However, 15 years ago, a fire took the life of Miss Dinia, and Viscount Sean survived by luck, but he also suffered from the current problems."

"Big fire? Why?" Lilian lost her mind. "Was there no magician present?"

"That's not an ordinary flame, it's extremely powerful magic. Because ordinary water can't extinguish it. I remember that when I rushed there, the whole house was engulfed by the flames, and there were scorched black marks on the ground."

"Magic? On purpose? Who did such an outrageous thing?!"

"This—" the old butler hesitated to speak, "At that time, besides Miss Dinia and Viscount Sean, there was also Master Alex."

"Irex is here?" Lilian was shocked.

"Yes, Master Alex was carried out by the master intact." The old butler said in a difficult voice, "Because magic can't harm the caster, so it was guessed that it was caused by Master Eric's talent out of control."

"W-how did this happen? Why did this happen?"

Lilian stood in place like a melting ice sculpture. She stared at the square oil portrait in front of her in a daze, and her heart fell into a place of incomparable torment and despair.

Under the dazzling crystal lights, the gorgeous dresses swayed with the embrace of the girls, like a poetic garden with the fragrance of a midsummer night.

Sean leaned on a cane and stood by the iron railing on the second floor, silently watching the brown-haired girls in the middle of the hall.

"Xion, won't you go down?" Alex came out of the room.He changed into a white formal suit for the ball, and tonight he was invited by Lilian to play a song for the ladies present at the banquet with the piano.

"In a while." Sean turned around, looked at Erics, and nodded slightly, "White suits you very well."

"Cough, is it?" Alex scratched his hair a little uncomfortably, and then stood beside Sean, looking at the hall directly below, "Lilian actually invited so many people, I'm a little nervous, actually I'm not very good at playing the piano."

"What piece are you going to play today?"

""A Maiden's Prayer"." Speaking of this, Erics couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Sean seemed to ask casually.

"This song is really a headache. There is a legato in the middle, maybe I haven't touched the piano for a long time, and I feel that my fingers are about to get knotted when I practice." Alex raised his hand, fingertips It tapped on the railing, making a light tinkling sound.

"You're wrong."

"Huh?" Erics was stunned for a moment, and before he recovered, his cold fingertips tapped lightly on the joints of his ring finger and index finger respectively.

Probably because the man's fingertips were too cold, Erics trembled invisibly.

"Switch these two fingers, and the back will be much smoother." Sean demonstrated it again on the railing, and the movements of his pale fingers were unexpectedly light and crisp.

"Can you play the piano?" Erics looked a little surprised.

"Yeah." Behind the iron face, Sean's eyes darkened, "After coming to the manor, I have taken music theory classes."

"Mother must have forced you to learn it." Alex frowned as if thinking of something boring, "It's really troublesome to be a nobleman, and you need to abide by many unnecessary rules. Sometimes it's like As stupid as a snail with a shell on its back."

"Hmm... Did I say something wrong?" After Alex finished complaining, he suddenly found that the man was looking at him silently.

"No, I'm just a little surprised." Sean said directly what was in his heart, "You will complain."

He thought that a successful life winner like Erics should have nothing to complain about.

"As long as you are a human being, you can't help complaining." Alex smiled wryly, "I think it is very tiring to bear other people's expectations. Just like my father, he seems to believe me very easily, of course I feel that I will definitely bring glory to the Kabeed family. But in fact, I have no idea about this matter at all..."

"It's really difficult for some strong people to do it even if there is no bottom."

"Why does it have to be done?" Sean asked.

Alex was in a daze when asked, "Because...they entrusted me..."

"This can only show that you are their best choice." Sean said lightly, "Besides, it's understandable that you can't do things that they can't do themselves."

"Is that so?" Alex murmured, "It doesn't matter if you can't do it?"

It was the first time he heard such words, and someone told him that it didn't matter if he couldn't do it.

"This is a hope, not a burden." Seeing the gentleman carrying the piano bag at the bottom, Sean looked back, "Alex, it seems that it's time for you to go down and play."

"So fast!" Alex suddenly came back to his senses, adjusted his posture, nodded with Sean, and walked down the stairs along the traces of the lights.

The well-fitting white dress made the man extraordinarily handsome, and his every move was like an elegant and noble prince, making the cheeks of the ladies below flushed and their hearts moved.

"You were unexpectedly gentle with him. Didn't his arrival make you fall into such a mess?" The blond man held a goblet filled with red wine, leaning on the railing and gently shaking it , the blood-colored liquid swirls deeply in the cup.

"The only one who can make me feel embarrassed is myself." Sean looked at the figure sitting by the piano sitting upright, "He is not the reason."

"That's not necessarily the case. In the eyes of others, the two of you are the most suitable for comparison." The man held the wine glass and sipped his lips, "I think before he came back, there was something behind him that you didn't know about. Such an argument. Comparing the disappearing sun with the existing gravel, people can gain more comfort and sigh in their hearts."

"Beautiful is better because of death, and ugly is even uglier because of existence." The man suddenly chuckled, "How? I can give you a grace to help you kill him."

"Killing him is not a wise approach. Not only will it not solve my predicament, but it will also anger the enemy and speed up my death."

Sean turned his head: "Can gods kill people at will?"

The rose-colored pupils froze for a moment, and then slightly staggered away. The man pouted, "It's really shallow, there are too many people who died because of gods."

In the hall, cheerful and light notes jumped out of the white piano, Sean frowned listening to the simple melody in his ears.

There is no chorus of other instruments in the piece, coupled with the player's weakness, the whole tone is monotonous like a blank sheet of paper.

"By the way, the violinist you hired seems to have had an accident. When I went down to get the wine, I saw him fall hard while picking up the instrument." The man suddenly said.

"What did you do?" Sean looked into the man's eyes.

"Well, who made him eat the last piece of cream trifle on the table? That's what I was going to eat." The man's haughty face suddenly revealed a childlike angry expression, "This is what he deserves."

"What are you doing here? Aren't you unwilling to trade?" Sean sighed inaudibly. This god who came from nowhere could bring too many possible changes to his judgment.

He doesn't like this kind of situation that always exceeds expectations.

"Of course I came to see how you are going to die." The man raised his eyebrows, and then he took out a maple violin out of nowhere, "How is it? Are you going to save the scene?"

The atmosphere in the hall was like warm water mixed with ice slag.

Most of the aristocrats present had some talents, if not, they also had a high level of appreciation for music melodies. It's not that Erics's conversation was bad, but such mediocre music really couldn't reveal these noble ears.

No one showed it on their faces, it was just that awkward atmosphere that passed through people's eyes like the plague.

Alex sat in front of the piano, his fingers were so stiff that he played on the keys, he didn't know where the original soundtrack went, but now he couldn't allow him to think about it.

When the first tone was pressed, he had no choice but to continue playing the song "A Maiden's Prayer".

Public embarrassment seemed inevitable.

Erics squeezed out a helpless smile from the corner of his mouth, and the pinnae of his ears were slightly red because of nervousness.

A clean and soft violin sound slipped into everyone's ears.

Everyone in the hall heard the sound and looked towards the second floor, only to see a tall and slender figure standing in front of the carved railing holding the piano head in his left hand and the bow in his right hand.

With the graceful transition of a perfect portamento, the glorious woody sound is just rightly blended into the intimate and soft melody, sublimated all at once, as if injecting soul into the whole piece.

Sheehan?

Erics looked up from the corner of his eye, and in the light and shadow, the figure of Nalazuo spread its wings like a swan, which was so beautiful that it made people tremble.

The melody of youth becomes faster as it repeats, and the whole piece ushers in joy.

In an instant, the shimmering lakeside seemed to appear before everyone's eyes. Under the church bathed in sunlight, the girl folded her hands together, with a peaceful and serene expression on her beautiful face.

While daydreaming, the last note has quietly ended.

Sean let out a breath slowly, and put down the violin on his shoulder.

It's just that he played a not-so-long piece, and he felt unexpectedly tired.

Something seems wrong.

his body—

Where is the problem?

He hasn't used any drink or food since the banquet started.

Sean pressed the hand holding the bow to his forehead, and his eyes moved coldly to the man beside him that only he could see.

"I didn't do it." The man waved his hand and sighed, "It's so stupid, someone used magic."

magic?

When did this happen?

Sean's waist slowly bent down, and the weakness in his whole body gradually made his whole body weight fall on the railing.

Consciousness slowly begins to fade into darkness.

There was thunderous applause in the hall, and everyone was still reminiscing about the wonderful ensemble just now.

"Sean?!" Hearing Lilian's sudden call from the audience, Alex, who was still sitting by the piano, raised his head subconsciously.

A figure was about to fall off the railing.

The author has something to say: Note: It is normal for royals and nobles to adopt mistresses similar to those in ancient Western Europe.
