Vol 2 Chapter 222 The Black Violin and Memories
Inside the Griffin residence.
Sylutia sat on the stool in her bedroom, tilting her head as she adjusted the violin. The body of the instrument was made of black oak, its hue elegant and refined.
This violin was a gift sent over by Madam Sarah a few days ago, because she felt that with Sylutia's temperament, playing the violin would surely look very beautiful.
In this lifetime, during her childhood, Sylutia had followed her mother and studied music for a period, but that was when she was very young. At the time, her mother had mainly encouraged her interest and had not subjected her to very strict training.
Gripping the bow, Sylutia recalled the instruction she received as a child, slowly searching for that musical sense.
She calmed her heart and mind, circulating the 'Memory Maze' Meditation Method she had previously learned, exploring the scenes from her early childhood forgotten in the corners.
In the iris-blue room, the floor was as clear and bright as a mirror. One wall was hung with various musical instruments, while the other side featured large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Gauze curtains half-concealed the sunlight. At that time, her mother sat before the blue porcelain-colored piano, playing notes, letting her follow her rhythm and slowly draw the bow.
Sylutia back then must have been only eight years old, holding the small-sized violin custom-made for her, clumsily drawing the bow. The sound of the violin was intermittent and broken. In her memory, her mother wore a beautiful blue iris dress, her long silver hair tied up in the back, adorned with a ribbon hairband decorated with pearl silver leaves. Just looking at her back, she was a vision of beauty.
