Volume 4 Chapter 47 - You stole all the spotlight (1/2)

Xu Yi put down the report Hart’s group sent and fell into thought. He had Liz on the side take a pen and write down a letter for the messenger that was waiting there.

“Send my orders to Hart, have them increase their vigilance while also investigating the situation in the Black Rice Wasteland as much as possible. See how many beastmen are cooperating with the Sack Kingdom. Also have them bring this news to the Lampuri Kingdom’s west guards. As for this letter, bring it to the chief officer under her highness, he will find a way to send this to her highness.”

The messenger agreed and after taking the letter, he had some doubts.

“Sir chairman, why not directly send it to her highness? There might be problems if it changes hands midway.”

“No need, this is a very special period, I should have less direct contact with her highness.” Xu Yi shook his head.

The messenger was more doubtful, thinking that if there really was a downside to contacting her highness, why did you have her highness’ guards come purge the Black Rice Wasteland?

Then no matter what, in the minds of the people of the Lampuri Kingdom, Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce were deeply connected to her highness Seveni, so there’s no way of downplaying their relationship.

But Xu Yi didn’t explain, so naturally the messenger didn’t dare ask too much. Seeing that Xu Yi didn’t have any other orders, he gave a bow and left.

After the messenger left, Xu Yi revealed a smile.

He could naturally see the doubt and understood why there was this doubt.

Indeed, the relationship between him and Seveni was hard to weaken and he didn’t plan on weakening it.

But he had decided to reduce the relationship between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom. Doing this was all for the people of the Lampuri Kingdom.

Since the other side clearly didn’t want the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to have influence in the Lampuri Kingdom, he would clearly tell the other side that he didn’t care about this.

“Perhaps Seveni will have a large objection towards this?” Thinking of how Seveni kept coming to complain to him, Xu Yi couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile.

After thinking this, Xu Yi shook his head to stop considering this and he turned to a corner.

“Avril, why did you stop? Continue.”

Avril’s two fox ears shook a bit before she said with a smile, “I saw that sir chairman was considering something, so I was afraid of disturbing you.”

“Oh, it’s nothing and it’s not important.” Xu Yi waved his hand, “Practice one more time and let me hear it. You’ll be performing at the banquet later and if you make a mistake, Archie and Leia won’t be happy.”

“Alright.” Avril nodded. She raised her hands again and the ten slender fingers fell onto the piano keys in front of her, creating a beautiful flow of notes.

The other aspects of the Sines Continent wasn’t as developed, but since the elves ruled the continent before, music was very developed and there were many kinds of instruments. There was even the piano that was the same as the one on earth.

The first magic machine that Xu Yi made after coming to this world wasn’t the Magic Fan, rather it was automatic piano model that could play a few notes that he had made at the Senkaiser School.

Still had only agreed to keep Xu Yi at Great Magician Camilla’s Magic Tower because she saw this piano model.

As proof of the two’s meeting, that piano model was hidden by Still like a treasure and she wouldn’t easily take it out.

But Still had many different real instruments, they were all being used by the girls of the New Moon Troupe for training.

With these instruments, Avril chose the piano.

It had to be said, her choice was very correct.

The piano was a very elegant instrument and with the natural charm that Avril had a fox race beastman, it created a very different kind of charm.

Xu Yi was certain that if the current Avril played her piano in front of everyone in Anvilmar City, she would definitely create a large stir.

But before the New Moon Troupe finished their training, Avril’s only true performance was for Xu Yi alone.

It was comfortable to listen to and with the flow of music that came out, Xu Yi gave a satisfied nod from time to time while focusing on listening.

This piano song came from his memory, it was a famous wedding song from earth.

This song was very lively, but it was also serious, so it was suited for playing at a wedding.

Today was Archie and Leia’s wedding and Afaylia had sent Xu Yi an invitation. Xu Yi decided to go with Still and then Avril suddenly came to Xu Yi after asking what kind of gift to give them.

After Avril came here, she bumped into Leia and now they were good friends. Now that it was Leia’s wedding, naturally she invited Avril.

After Xu Yi seriously considered it, he felt that instead of having Avril give them a flashy and impractical gift, it was better to give them a piano performance which had a more special significance.

Avril agreed with Xu Yi’s suggestion very much, but she was worried about which song to choose. Xu Yi suddenly had an inspiration and extracted this wedding song from his memories for Avril.
