What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 75 Veronica
For the resident band of the Black Pearl Concert Hall, it is not so uncommon to play for the king. After all, no matter how busy Alan IV is, he will attend three or five concerts every year.

But things are somewhat different today.

When the band members entered the stage, they found a strange looking thing beside them.

It was a large square black wooden box with a large horn standing on it.

Because the show was coming soon, there was no time for everyone to ask questions.

After the first round was over, everyone stepped back, and Her Royal Highness Princess Veronica entered the stage, the other band members started some curious discussions.

"what is that?"

"Looks like a trumpet?"

"It's obviously a big horn."

"Can there be sound in it?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the masterpiece of a magician again, just like a photo camera."

"Speaking of the photo camera, my fiancé promised to take a photo with me in a wedding dress before the wedding. The store has launched a campaign. As long as it is a wedding photo, you can get a [-]% discount. Wearing a wedding dress, you can get a [-]% discount..."

"I've also heard that it's called a wedding photo..."

"..."

Veronica also saw the phonograph not far away before going on stage, but after all, she was a little more knowledgeable than the others. The Duke also collected a lot of strange magic items at home, so she didn't feel too relieved.

……

Pearl jade mellow, soft and beautiful music sounded.

Colin was sitting upright, constantly organizing the words to deal with the duke in his mind.

"Thunder City Glory Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the Black Pearl Concert Hall, has the second-ranked string department in the whole continent, and Mr. Fernoma, the chief violinist, was named one of the ten greatest violinists in history... ..."

Colin listened absently to the Duke's narration while looking towards the stage.

At this distance, Veronica can be clearly seen.

Wearing a white dress that drags the floor, with a slender and elegant figure, exquisite features, and an outstanding temperament, Ke Lin finally understood what a beautiful country is, but he couldn't find too many adjectives. If he had to describe it, he could only say - the princess is really special so beautiful.

The harp solo is much shorter than expected.

The music stops.

Duke Violet said: "Veronica once studied the harp for three months when Master Blanche traveled to Thunder City, but she mainly played the violin and studied with Master Fernoma."

I don't know either of these people...

Ke Lin slandered inwardly, and then said: "No wonder Her Royal Highness's performance is so moving."

The Duke said, "It's fine if you like it. In fact, I like art better. I don't know much about music."

Colin was taken aback.

You said it earlier.

If I had known earlier, I would not understand music.

Is it tiring to pretend?

……

The whole concert lasted two hours.

Alan IV and Boyce woke up at the right time.

Then he stood on the edge of the box again, accepted the applause and congratulations from the crowd, and finally waved to the band to express his gratitude, and the whole concert came to an end.

A few minutes later, the king was about to get up to leave, and at the same time the door of the box was opened.

Veronica, who changed into casual clothes, waited outside.

"Your Majesty, great-grandfather, father..."

The graceful Princess finally held Tessa's hand: "Sister Tessa..."

"Today's performance was awesome." Tessa smiled.

"Thank you."

After Alan IV rested, his spirit was obviously much better, and he beckoned and said:
"Since you're here, let's meet by the way."

Because she was standing at the door, Veronica didn't see Colin standing in the innermost place at first. After Alan IV finished speaking, she looked at Colin Wayne who walked to her father.

Duke Violet also said: "I should have introduced you to Colin Wayne earlier."

"I have seen Her Royal Highness." Colin offered to salute.

Only after seeing this long-rumoured Pearl of Tulum up close, did I know that the rumors were true. The beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament make people dare not look at her closely.

Veronica was obviously stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Colin for a while, then slightly bent her knees and said, "Hi, Mr. Wayne."

Wait for the two parties to say hello.

Alan IV waved his hand immediately: "I've been tired all day, let's all go back."

As soon as the voice fell, the attendants and guards hidden in various places had already lined up outside the door.

Before leaving the door, His Majesty the King suddenly turned around and said to Tessa: "Don't forget this year's gift, I'm still waiting."

Then he looked at Colin again: "And yours."

Colin quickly agreed, saying that the king really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

……

After all the audience left, the concert hall looked very empty.

next to the stage.

Colin watched as Walder fiddled with the gramophone, and finally took out a palm-sized and thin stone flake.

To be honest, he is not as proficient as Wald in operating this machine.

"After duplicating the audio disc, bring it together with the player to the official of the royal palace, and ask Mr. Wald to tell him how to use it."

"Okay, Mr. Wayne." Wald said with a smile: "The player is for civilians, and the operation is very simple."

……

late at night.

royal palace.

Candles were brightly lit.

Duke Violet was still by Alan IV's side, and a map was spread on the long table in front of him.

"What's the news from Oliver?" The king brushed the surface of the map with his right hand.

"It's still the same. Your Excellency Harris can only guarantee that he will live for another year. After one year, he can only resign himself to fate." Fairmont replied.

Alan IV was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It would be great if you were 20 years younger."

"It's useless to be 20 years younger." Duke Violet sat on the high-back chair and said helplessly, "In Xia Ya's place, force alone is not enough."

"You're right..."

Alan IV suddenly coughed violently, and the complexion on his face was much worse than during the day.

The Duke of Violet furrowed his eyebrows deeply, but there was nothing he could do.

"Go and get the gifts from those two little guys and let me have a look." After coughing for a while, Alan IV ignored the map in front of him and went straight to the couch to rest.

After a while, the attendant brought the things up.

What Tessa prepared was a cloak that she sewed by herself. Alan IV took a few glances and put it on.

Then he turned his gaze to the weird stuff on the table.

"what is this?"

"Your Majesty, it's called... the...player." The attendant replied, and activated the switch in the way Wald taught.

The next moment, melodious music came out.

Alan IV was obviously taken aback.

The Duke of Violet had already taken a step back, reaching out to hold the hilt of the sword he carried with him.

half an hour.

After confirming that there was no danger, the two gradually approached.

"Interesting." Alan IV couldn't help laughing: "So, where does the sound here come from?"

Waiting for the servant to answer.

Fairmont Hawthorne said: "This is Veronica's piece "I Wish You Health" in today's concert."

When the king was puzzled.

Duke Violet said again: "You were asleep at that time."

"Ahem." Alan IV was a little embarrassed. His niece had been preparing for a concert for two months, but he spent most of the time sleeping. Finally, he could only laugh and said, "So, it can store the sound?"

"I've heard Colin mention this thing, but I didn't expect it to look like this." Fairmont also observed curiously.

The night is deep.

The music has been going on for a long time.

Alan IV became more and more fascinated the more he listened, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Fairmont planned to leave quietly.

"That matter, I think it's very appropriate." Alan IV suddenly opened his eyes: "Do you want to change your mind?"

The Duke was silent for a moment, then said, "No, I've always liked that child."
