Cornflower Witch

Chapter 386 Golden Song Wood Violin
Back in the Asura district, Hiltiya stepped off the carriage carrying the gift box, then waved goodbye as the black carriage set off again, heading back into the distance.

When she arrived at the dormitory, she found that the other two had not returned yet. After spending the night watching performances, watching battle matches, and studying complex theories, Hilti was exhausted.

She placed the gift box on the bedside table, took a quick shower, returned to her bedroom, drew the curtains to block the midday sun, went to her small bed, and fell asleep immediately.

Before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep and opened her eyes again. It was already evening. The room lights were on, and her two roommates were fast asleep on their beds. She didn't know when they had returned.

Lowell was wearing a light pink silk nightgown, which she had lifted herself to reveal half of her body. Aurora, on the other hand, was wearing a black nightgown and was lying quietly with her back to Lowell.

Hiltiya looked at her two roommates' sleeping postures and found them somewhat adorable. She helped Luo Weier cover herself with the blanket again, then glanced at the gift box on the bedside table, which was still lying there quietly.

She carried the box to the living room outside, then reopened it, and once again got used to manipulating the doll, causing its eyelashes to lift and its blue eyes to open.

Soon, the beautiful white-haired, blue-eyed doll floated up in the living room, then brought a water glass for Hilti and poured the water slowly and carefully. The doll's earnest and careful manner was quite reminiscent of Hilti when she was a child.

After drinking the water, Hilti took the doll to the kitchen and began preparing dinner. She washed the vegetables and then tried to get the doll to hold the knife with both hands to chop them.

At first, the doll was slow because it was not skilled, but as Hilti gradually got used to it, her cooperation with the doll began to become more and more coordinated. For example, it would fetch various seasonings and add them, and bring Hilti kitchen utensils and plates, etc.

After preparing dinner for three, Hilti and the doll served it separately. Then she returned to the room and woke up the two sleeping people.

"Get up, it's time to eat something." She shook the two of them awake.

Luo Weier propped herself up slowly, her pajamas slipping down slightly to reveal her delicate, fair collarbone. She looked at Xilutiya and then at the floating doll behind her, her eyes widening slightly.

"That doll, why is it floating there?" she asked, her eyes full of surprise.

"Oh, this one." Aurora woke up at this moment, rubbed her eyes, and carefully examined the beautiful black dress doll.

"This must be a gift from the Phantom School. It's so exquisite."

"Oh, does Aurora know?" Lovell turned her head away.

“Of course, I want to go to Rolik Academy just to make such beautiful dolls.” Aurora sat up, her eyes full of curiosity as she approached the doll behind Sylvia, and then carefully held it in her arms.

"It's so pretty." Hilti felt that Aurora's eyes were full of love at this moment. She touched the doll's little dress again and again, and even gently pinched its face.

"I want to see too~" Luo Wei'er stood up and moved closer to Xilutia. Her golden hair was right in front of Xilutia's line of sight. Then she pressed her head on Xilutia's thigh, stretched out her hands, and hugged the doll, vying with Aurora for it.

"Alright, stop fighting." Hilti had to mediate, and after the two of them sat down, she gave up her seat.

Aurora and Lovely, dressed in their pajamas, were sitting on the bed, examining the doll closely. Sylvia urged them several times before the food in the living room got cold, and the two reluctantly came out to have dinner together.

“Aurora and I went to Vicia College, which is like a golden theater, with beautiful buildings and gardens everywhere, and we could see many performances,” Lover recalled yesterday’s activities.

“Unlike other colleges, the Vichy College, as a college of the ‘Opera School,’ holds the Silver Bell Festival open to the public. However, if the audience wants to come, they need to buy very expensive tickets, while those who are invited do not need to, and will receive extra gifts.”

After saying that, Luo Weier ran back to her room and brought out a golden violin. "This is a gift for me. It's said to be made of golden jasmine wood, with a pure tone and a certain effect of harmonizing one's breath and blood." She placed the violin on the table.

【Golden Song Wood Violin】(Tier 3, Rare): Crafted by a workshop under the Vicia Academy, made of golden song wood, of superior quality, and possesses a calming effect.

Upon seeing the violin, Hilti couldn't help but ask curiously, "Loveel, can you play the violin?"

"I know a little, but my best skill is playing the piano," she said, holding up a finger with a hint of pride.

"When I was six years old, my mother specially commissioned a small White Phoenix piano for me. After that, I studied piano with the best musicians at Ella Fontaine. Now my level is almost the same as my teacher's, and she even calls me a genius!"

No wonder, it seems that Lorraine will likely be going to the 'Vicia Academy' in the future, and the 'Opera School' is indeed very much in line with her personality and interests.

"A piano..." Aurora listened to Lovell's narration, recalling some things from the past.

“Because of my family tradition, I was exposed to all kinds of musical instruments when I was a child, but my favorite is probably the violin. I still have the black and blue rose violin that was a birthday present for me two years ago, which is a masterpiece by a master.” Aurora said.

"How about we perform together sometime?" Luo Wei'er immediately suggested.

"You haven't even asked me if I can play any instruments yet," Hiltiya muttered to herself.

"Hehehe, Hedra definitely will, don't lie to me." Luo Weier leaned closer and said confidently.

"Huh? Why is that? Why do you believe I can play a musical instrument?" Hiltia thought carefully. She probably hadn't used a musical instrument or performed since she came to the Asura District.

“Because Hedra can remember the tunes I usually hum.” Lowell talked about some details of her life. When she was happy, she would occasionally hum some familiar tunes. These were songs that were popular in the 'Harp Flower Union', and very few people in the Mage Alliance knew about them.

"It's difficult for most people to remember the details of a song. At most, they can only be familiar with a certain part of the melody, but they can't remember it completely."

"But, but a while ago, when Hedra was putting me to sleep, she hummed one of those songs in its entirety."

"Is it possible that because of my 'Secret Word' affinity, I have a better memory?" Hiltiya tried to argue.

"No, no, no, I trust my intuition. The subtle transitions and nuanced modulations in the song are not something that someone who hasn't studied it can do naturally."

"Uh, is it that accurate?" Hilti was a little embarrassed. On the one hand, she did study music at the Mezalans family when she was a child, but on the other hand, she didn't really learn much because she was very young at the time, and her mother only let her cultivate her interest without teaching her any complicated theoretical knowledge. Being able to achieve the level that Lowell mentioned was purely due to her innate talent and intuition.

Then, Luo Weier talked about how she learned piano as a child and participated in performances. Because her family was very well-known in the area, and as the eldest daughter of the family, she received attention from all sides. Every time she held a performance, a large audience would come.

“I have extensive stage experience, Hedra, Aurora, I believe we can definitely put on a magnificent and outstanding performance.”

As Luo Wei'er spoke with bold words, she appeared to be a quintessential heiress from a wealthy family, both in demeanor and appearance. Yet, she possessed inexhaustible energy and vitality, showing passion and enthusiasm for many things without a trace of contempt or arrogance. She also never displayed any negative emotions, like a pure and radiant golden sun. It was because of her presence that the two usually quiet girls, Xilutia and Aurora, were also infused with vitality and became more lively.
