Chapter 338 - 295: Nightingale
The foreign woman went out!
The day she left, the whole Danschel was stirred.
The origins of this foreign woman were unknown, and no one knew her name. People speculated about the reason for her departure. They saw her maids using donkeys to pull her harp, obediently following behind her. Meanwhile, the streets in all directions were packed with people.
When people saw the appearance of this foreign woman, they were amazed by her beauty. She was so beautiful that people wished she wasn’t from a foreign country.
Solamus’s gaze was fixed on the distant Music Academy.
Most people still didn’t know why Solamus had left his estate. They made the reason increasingly complex, and their voices were filled with fabrication. They would never think that Solamus’s reason for going out was actually very simple.
Catherine, the music fanatic of the Music Academy, had slipped a piece of papyrus through the crack of a door one deep night.
On that yellowed piece of paper was written pleas and petitions. She invited Solamus to the Music Academy, requesting the foreign woman to listen to her own harp playing.
It seemed the foreign woman had some kind of magic power. Despite the crowd being dense, when she approached, people drew back as if she were not merely a mortal, but a Witch who could devour people.
People moved back while keeping their eyes on her, watching as she headed towards the distant Music Academy, never shifting their gaze.
They held their breath until the moment the silhouette of the foreign woman disappeared, and then the crowd burst into an uproar, their voices filling every corner.
