In The Name Of Artists!

We was about the finish our dishes when a group of knights come in, looking for someone.

-Mihr de Seraphin! Please come out! We know your highness ran away from home and now hiding! Your father, His Highness the Emperor is looking for you! -They rushed in with the lead of some high ranking knight with red hair.

-Wait! That boy! Take him! -The leader of the knights pointed at Lissandro. Maybe he stealt something...? But he said his a noble..Did he lied?

-Oh fuck...Ciel, I meet you sometime later. I need to run now. Bye! -He said, and hush, he dissapeared.

That's how I got left alone again. But don't worry, I finished my food! That was the most important thing I could think about. After that, It started to getting dark outside. Well, it was hours ago since I came to this city, and without Lissandro, I know nothing about this place. And yes, Lissandro was the only one who had money. Luckily, I know a way I can get some to go to an inn.

Three ways to get money quickly in a fantasy world!

First! Find a music shop and go in!

Second! Borrow an instrument! (If the owner doesn't want to give it to you, persuade them! For this, you should have a decent look like me, and a personality to win over people! Thank God I worked at bussiness as a part-time job)

Third! Go to the center of the city where everyone busy even in the evening, find a good spot, and start to play music!

Tada! That's all! Easy right? Well, yes. You should know how to play music for this method. For me, I learnt violin for ten years. And now, it payd off.

I borrowed a violin, I was in nice, elegant clothes, and I looked beautiful. Hmm, very good. Let's rip off some nobles!

I started playing violin, well, that was something I loved. The sound, the wind that was fresh, couples in awe looking at me. I love it. So, I found out it doesn't matter where is an artist, they still an artist. It hurted that in my world, I couldn't play this freely because of my mother. That's why I gave it my all, and got lost in the sensations.

I played a music piece made by Antonín Dvorak. They won't regonise it anyway.

But as the music ended, the large crowd erupted into applause and cheers. Some servant of high nobles even fighted to ask for my name and connections because I'm "that much of a talent". But don't believe it. They just exaggerate it. I don't have a talent.

Okay, now that they gave a lot of money for the great musician, let's flee quickly! Well, afterall, I don't want too much attention!

I ran as fast as possible, but even the newspaper wanted to find out my indentity! Then suddenly, a person pulled me into an alleway and covered my mouth.

-Shh, don't shout. I help you out. -He said with a gentle smile. Now that I look at him...It was dark but he shined. Blonde, shoulder long hair that was like of a jellyfish. And his eyes were what shined the most. Light red eyes. Beautiful. His whole aura is beautiful. And I thought red eyes would mean a bad omen...Now, these eyes owner is the person who helped me out. What a twist. But well, his clothes were simple. Similar to mine, but more freely and comfortable.

-I think they left...Sorry for suddenly pulling you here. I've listened to your music and I felt like I should help you. You don't like attention, right? They turn away as soon as you make a mistake. What a jerks...-He said while letting me out of his gasp. He looked annoyad by them. But still, he said the truth. That's why I don't play infront of others that often. But just as others say, anything for money!

-Well, yes. I also experienced it before. May I ask who are you? You seem to understand these things. -I said as I looked at him up and down.

-Oh, well, I like art I guess. And I really felt something from your music that can't be explained in words. I also didn't heard that masterpiece before. Did you wrote it yourself? -He seemed very interested in this topic. Like a golden retriever waging his tail.

-Uhm..y..yes? -Sorry Antonin, they wouldn't knew you anyway

-Amazing! You're very fascinating! How could such a talent been hiden for this long? The more I get to know about you and your art, the more it makes me want you. Interesting. -Nah..No way.. He's not crazy right? Just someone who loves music...very, very much...maybe too much.

-haha...Then I get going. Thank you again sir.. -I laughted nervously and turned away to run off quickly before he kidnaps me or something.

-Wait, what's your name? My name is Isidor! -He shouted after me before I gone too far.

-It's..uhm..Lucienne! My name is Lucienne! -I said with a smile and quickly run away. Well, I know, I know. I'm not Lucienne, but I can't use the name Ciel either. Lucienne will be my artist name. If he will look for Lucienne, he won't find anything. And Ciel can live peacfully then. I'm a genius right?

For the rest of the night, I found an inn and spent my night there. The next day, I wore the robe that Anpiel gave me. With this, no one should recognize yesterday's Lucienne.

For today plan...well, let's just look around.

I started with a breakfast in a cafe, then I went to a museum. I wonder how artist and exhibitions look in this world.

I look around the a lot, and I must say, people are talented here. I saw a lot of art that can't be even compared to the one in my world. But one art catched my interest way more than usual. The name of the art was "The Love From The Devil". But truthfully, it represented a woman crying in a mans arm. It was somehow...comforting. I think love stays the same even if it's from the devil itself.

-We met again, Lucienne. -Ugh...Isidor. How could he be there of all places..? Oh..wait..He's fond of art. Crap.

-Right...Do you also like museums? -I asked out of courtesy.

-Mhm, I do. What are your thoughts about this art piece? -He said with a glance to the art that I just thought about.

-Oh..this? Well..I believe it doesn't matter even if he was the devil. He loved the woman, and that's all that matters. The paint must show that the woman also just realised it in the man's arms. -I said while looking at the paint

-Yes...You're...truly amazing. I think I've fallen even more~ -He said with a mischievous smile. Well, now he's like a womanizer. But I don't fall that easily either.
