Franz revealed his true feelings, as if he was caught in his own memories: "As a result of staying up late to study music while working hard and putting all my effort into composing songs, my body and mind gradually became unbearable, my health began to deteriorate, I was frequently tormented by illness, and I was unable to concentrate, in the words of my neighbors and co-workers, as if I had not woken up from a dream, like a soulless corpse." ” "They advised me to give up music, thinking that if I continued like this, in no more than five years, my body and mind would be completely broken.
Although they all acknowledged that my music, my songs were not bad, they all agreed that I could not support myself, my mother, my younger siblings, on them. ” "The hardships of life, the pressures of the environment, the physical and mental limits, and the invisible burdens of my family made it difficult for me to catch my breath and I began to have the idea of giving up music because I am not alone and I have many responsibilities to shoulder."
The slightly choked description made many successful musicians here, as well as the hard-working musicians and music students, empathize with them, and think of the difficulties and dangers on their past or current musical paths, the pervasive pressure, the kind of visceral exhaustion, which is difficult for people who have not had similar experiences to resonate.
Of course, they all admit that everything they faced was much easier than the difficulties encountered by Franz, so the musicians and music students secretly made up their minds that they must persevere and work hard, and strive to one day be able to reminisce about the past on the stage of a concert with such a successful attitude as Franz, which is a feeling and an honor In their minds, Franz has been considered a success, because his piano skills are excellent, and his song forms are innovative, which are all heard and admitted, and on the basis of his own strength, he has also been highly praised by Mr.
Evans Being so praised by a top musician means that he has made a name for himself in the music industry and is about to become a real musician, just like Mr.
Evans, who was praised by Mr.
Christopher.
Lucien is also quite touched by Franz's experience, if he hadn't improved his mental power in danger, made his memory stronger, and his spirit became fuller, then even if he had a soul library, he would have been difficult to learn the basics of music while staying up all night studying and analyzing magic.
In this way, even if there is great music such as the Symphony of Destiny, they dare not come up with their own shortcomings.
Seeing that Mr.
Evans, Mr.
Christopher, and Mr.
Victor all bowed slightly, Franz's vision seemed to blur a little, and he continued to say with emotion: "When I decided to give up music, I was initially relaxed and lost, so I was going to go to a civilian concert hall to listen to a cheap concert as a tribute to the road of farewell to music. ” "But I underestimated my love for music, and when the sonatas, concertos, and symphonies poured out in the hands of the orchestra, I could not restrain my sadness and despair, and without music, what would be the meaning of my life so violently that it seemed that I was dying, and I chose to get up and walk to the door with difficulty, not wanting to listen to a melody that had nothing to do with me, not wanting to hesitate any longer."
"When I walked down the aisle to the beautiful melody and stood by the gate, the symphony ended, and the applause masked the music, as if to signal the end of my musical path.
The great loss struck my heart, so I turned around and prayed silently, recited poetry, and said my final goodbye to the music. ” Franz gradually became excited, waving his hands: "The light seemed to disappear completely, and the darkness completely enveloped my life, but just as I dragged my disappointed and gloomy soul and body back and pushed open the door, when Dangdang, a short, powerful and passionate note suddenly appeared, which seemed to knock on my heart, making me feel both fear and an indescribable tremble. ” "The next melody hit me like a storm, overwhelming me, as if the hardships of life, physical and mental malaise, and the invisible burden of the family completely exploded, wanting to destroy me, but in the storm, I heard the cry, heard the determination of never giving up, and the melodies were like throwing guns to announce the courage to fight."
"I seem to hear the torture that Mr.
Evans contains in your music, whether I am defeated by life, or whether I choose to give in, or whether life makes me give up, or whether I give up music and find all kinds of reasons to be weak in the face of difficulties, or do I move forward like a knight until death, never back down, never give up" "No, I will not give in to difficulties, and by the end of the glorious chapter of victory, I have found the answer, and I am crying out like a madman near the door of the concert hall, and my heart is full of strength.
After that day, I quit my other job and became a bard that I had always looked down upon, because it was the only one that allowed me to learn music while keeping my family alive.
And no matter how much discrimination, blows and tribulations I encountered later, I never thought of giving up again, and whenever I was tired and powerless, I played a song of fate and a song of pathos. ” Franz withdrew his hands to strengthen his tone, and his voice slowed: "As the songs I sang as a bard became loved by the people, and the income gradually increased, many nobles hired me to join their private bands, and finally let my family live a good life. ” "When my younger brother and sister became apprentices and had their own path in life and the craft to survive, I left most of my savings to my family and pursued my dream of music without any burden."
He pressed his right hand to his chest and bowed with great respect: "And all this is because of you, Mr.
Evans, without your philosophy of life and shouting and torture contained in the music, I would not have been able to find the strength to support myself to go on."
You are my mentor in life, and it is my greatest pride and honor to have you in attendance at my first real concert. ” "Thank you again, Mr.
Evans."
The musicians, musicians, and students present applauded from the bottom of their hearts, as warm as the tide, not only for Franz's persistence, but also for the power of music.
Lucien said with emotion: "The main thing is your own tenacity. ” Next, Christopher and Victor also commented on Franz's songs, and both gave good reviews.
The joy and excitement of being truly affirmed made Franz's next symphony completely reveal his own style, although it is still very immature and far from excellent, but the hope and expectation contained in the music are as natural as the fields of spring.
While quietly enjoying Franz's symphony, three ladies entered the door of the recital hall, one was bright and delicate, with thick lips and hot hair, one with brown hair and blue eyes, sweet and delicate, and the other with a mature temperament and plump black hair.
Phyllis, Elena, and Grace heard that Lucien was back and rushed to the guild.
After seeing Lucien, who was sitting in the first row, the three ladies breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was him.
Lucien, with his instincts, smiled back at them, and put his index finger to his lips, motioning for them to listen to the music quietly.
Compared with before, Phyllis, a noble girl, has matured a lot, and it is obvious that following Victor's travels and her own experience of holding concerts has made her quickly get rid of her immaturity; Elena's appearance has changed a lot, her long hair is coiled up, and her sweetness reveals a mature charm, and her face is a little tired; Grace does not have the depressed and smug contradictions that Stulk has, and her every move is very relaxed.
But three years, especially three years around the age of twenty, is enough for ordinary humans to forget many people and many things, although Lucian's name often appears in the music industry and in the newspapers, but they still feel a faint strangeness and estrangement.
Lucien felt the same thing.
After Franz's mini-concert, Lucien made an appointment with him to discuss the next day, and then returned with Victor and Phyllis to the familiar Victor at 12 Snowva Street in the Gisu district to have a private luncheon to welcome Lucian.
When Victor went to instruct the butler Mr.
Ace, Phyllis and Elena, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke, "Welcome back, Lucien." ” After not seeing each other for a long time, they suddenly didn't know what topic to look for and what attitude to use to get along with Lucian.
"Mr.
Evans, thank you for your letter."
Grace took the opportunity to express her gratitude.
Seeing this, Lucien shook his head with a smile, talking about his travel and interesting things he encountered, and dispeling the invisible estrangement and oppressive atmosphere.
Gradually, Phyllis and Alina began to talk and laugh, reverting to some of their old attitudes.
At this moment, the servant opened the door, and a stout and wide woman ran in a long skirt that was tightly propped up, and hugged Lucian: "Little Evans, you have finally come back, and I am worried that you have encountered robbers and wild wolves on the way."
Alyssa said as she took out her handkerchief and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When she learned from the servant sent by Victor to report Lucien's return, she rushed over with Joel and Aven, who had just taken a break from vacation.
"Alyssa, let little Evans go, he's a quasi-knight, and he's afraid of robbers and wolves."

Joel shook his head helplessly at Lucian, then smiled, "Welcome home, little Evans." ” The life of the aristocracy did not slow down Joel's aging, and the problems that had accumulated from the past began to come to the fore, and the short blonde hair became more and more sparse and gray, and wrinkles gradually increased.
"I've always missed you."
Lucien's mood was a little fluctuating.
Joel chuckled and turned around and pulled Aven over: "Don't say hello to your brother Lucien yet" Evan was the most changed acquaintance Lucien had ever met, he had grown a lot bigger, a little taller than Lucian, his childish face had become a youthful face, and he had a distinct cyan beard above his lips and chin, and he had inherited his father's handsome appearance, which was four or five points similar to John, but he looked more sturdy and robust.
Looking at Lucian, he looked very restrained and shy, as if facing a stranger, buried his head in a low voice and said, "Welcome back, Brother Lucian." ” Three years is almost one-third of his life for a child like him, and there are few memories of the first five or six years, and shyness and strangeness are inevitable.
After a meeting, Auntie Elisa's efforts to introduce her to marriage partners and nagging about her children caused her to get up and go to the bathroom, where Grace quietly followed.
"Teacher, I have something to tell you."
Grace's voice was extremely low.
Lucien looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
"When I came to Aalto, a clown dressed man secretly asked me about you."
Grace gets straight to the point.
