The Conquerors Path

Chapter 531 531-Lanora Finds The Truth(2)

"How did you find out?" I asked as I stood up from my seat, my disguise being worn out yet Lanora didn't flinch at it, for you see only 2 people can access this room, and one of them is Lanora, and the other one is me. This is the very room we use to have our secret musical meetings. Right now, standing in front of me, she looks beautiful, with her blue skin lighting up from the light while her eyes stayed wide open.

"It-It's true..."

Lanora responded as her eyes started to tremble while her expression started to seemingly change between different layers, the highest emotion from her being admiration and worship. No doubt she might faint right now, and guess what.

"Whoa! Are you okay?"

I asked as I flashed beside Lanora and caught her body from falling to the ground, My question being answered as Lanora shook her head, her expression saying that she is still processing the news. Seeing so, I held her lightly as I took her to a nearby chair and gave her a seat, her body weakened as she lay there on the chair.

'So this is how dealing with a super fan feels like.'

It would be good practice for when Sabrina finds out that I am Earth.

"Here, drink this."

I spoke as I gave her some water to drink, and just like a desert traveler who finally got water, Lanora started to gulp it all down. Seeing so, I stood beside her, waiting for her to get back to normal. A few seconds passed by as I asked.

"You still didn't tell me how you found out."

Hearing my question, Lanora gulped down the rest of her water as she looked at me with an apprehensive gaze, yet even then, her light of awe still remained, her gaze soon coming to match all the crazy nuns and witches I dealt with back in the church.

"Well, I have a special bloodline ability to match resonance and patterns, and as a fan, I have heard all your music."

As she spoke until here, Lanora took out her violin and she lightly started to play with its strings, a habit she does when she is either super nervous or filled with several emotions she doesn't know what to do with.

"I had my doubts when I heard you play first, the pattern of yours and Mozart's being eerily similar, but it wasn't complete, as if you were holding back. But right now when I heard you play, I could feel the 100% match between the two of you..."

As she spoke until here, her voice turned silent, her glistening eyes looking at me as she pushed her violin lightly towards me, a begging expression filling her face as she asked.

"Can you please sign my violin?"

'Wow, who would have thought that I would be able to see such an expression on her ever-calm and gentle face?'

Internally musing to my thoughts, I looked at her with a smile, but it was a little stained and awkward as I took up her violin.

"You know I consider us as friends, so..."

Well, I didn't complete my sentence as I gave a small signature, specifically belonging to Mozart, on her violin. This, along with my expression, quickly brought Lanora out of her daze-like state as she looked directly into my face.

"It's hard not to be this, as I spent a lot of time listening and enjoying your music. I have always dreamed of seeing you play for real..."

Reaching until here, she turned silent, an awkward atmosphere falling between the two of us, Lanora battling all the emotions passing through her while I looked at her with a wry smile filling my face, no doubt feeling a bit off, as such, this silence lasted for a minute until Lanora got hold of some of her emotions as she spoke.

"Why did you hide it?"

Her question was laced with great curiosity, to which I leaned on the seat beside her, my face turning wistful as I spoke.

"Well, you know about the fact that I ran away from my home, right?"

My question led her to nod her head.

"That's the reason, I didn't want my family suddenly coming with an army and whisking me away."

My words made her frown a bit as she asked in a hesitant voice.

"Why did you run?"

To this, all I did was give her a strained smile, to which she quickly got the message and changed the question.

"Why did you start playing music?"

"Because I love playing."

My answer was simple and straightforward for once, which quickly brought a little smile to Lanora's face.

"I knew it..."

She whispered as she started to look at me with shining eyes, those very eyes still containing all the awe and worship she had for me. But within that gaze, a new emotion that I have seen across several of my girls started to bloom.

"I have to trouble you to keep this a secret."

I spoke with a slight voice to which Lanora nodded her head, her voice hesitant as she asked.

"Even from Elda?"

"Yes, it's not time yet for me to reveal this to her or my family."

My words brought a complex look to Lanora's face, she being the kind-hearted not wanting to keep things hidden, but it would seem she has no problem hiding the fact that she is secretly meeting Elda's brother alone in a room.

'Women and their complex thoughts...'

Even I haven't reached the pinnacle of completely understanding a woman. I doubt any man would.

"Leaving these complex matters aside, why did you call me here?"

I suddenly asked within the heated atmosphere, to which Lanora quickly burst out from her thoughts, her eyes gaining another level of sheen as she looked at me with an enchanted look, her lips parting as she asked.

"Um... do you perhaps know about the custom of my tribe?"

"No."

'Yes.'

I replied while showing a confused face outside, this quickly made Lanora nod her head, several hesitations passing through her face as she kept looking at me.

'She is probably debating whether to tell me.'

If my calculations are right, Lanora will definitely ask me to play together with her, but she won't say about the traditions of her tribe. Perhaps if I didn't show off my real status, she would have definitely told me the tradition, but now she would be very hesitant.

Due to the very fact that our talent and ranking statuses are very different.

As much as a fantasist and fated love Lanora is, she, in her heart, is still a talented and prideful musician and the tribe princess. She would never accept forming a love between the two of us until she believes she has reached a level satisfactory that she can play and stand beside me, the Great Mozart, the Ruler of Music, and the greatest musician to ever walk the lands.

'Gotta say this is very useful.'

It wasn't as if I didn't know her talent, and it wasn't as if I couldn't change my frequency. And as you all can guesss I wanted this to happen. When I took up the mantle of Mozart, I didn't expect for this, but hey, I ain't complaining if this will help me get girls.

And let me tell you the truth, there isn't a single girl either from back in my world or this that doesn't like a guy that can play an instrument beautifully, plus more if he can sing too.

I mean which girl will be able to refuse a good lover who will be able to soothe her worries with a tune and make your day brighter with his voice?

I have noticed it a lot with different girls, even from my past life, that glow in their eyes when they know that you can play, it's quite the chick magnet if you use it at the right time, of course, you should also be able to know how to use the Rizz, else it might just end up as a nerdy show, speaking from experience...

"Um... Can you play a duet with me?"

Finally, the wait was over as Lanora spoke, her voice begging as she looked at me while biting her lips.

"Sure, but is this why you called me up?"

I asked to which she hesitantly nodded her head again, Even a child could see she wasn't being honest, but I ain't gonna jump upon it.

"Yes, I just wanted to confirm something and play a duet with you."

She spoke, shame filling her face, probably killing her that she had to hide this, but it also brought a flame of improvement in her eyes. No doubt she will improve as a musician from here on out to catch up with me, mostly even trying to create her own music style to live up to me.

'These girls and their high pride...'

It's a double-edged sword of theirs, which I can use to protect myself and harm myself. A small mistake and I will be losing it all or gaining it all.

"Sure, I would love to play with you. Which one should we try?"

I asked as I took up a violin, my words bringing a smile and blush to her face as she responded.

"How about Duet for Violin and Viola in G major, K. 423? The very one you composed."

"Sounds perfect."

I replied as I placed the violin on my shoulder. Beside me, Lanora did the same, our eyes soon met, and thus the play began.
