This—this piece of music I've never heard before!

What piece of music is he playing?

Although I don't understand it, I have to say it's very touching.

Listening to the melodious piano music, Philippa gently closed her eyes, her beautiful long eyelashes trembling slightly. In this enclosed room filled with musical notes, where only she and Leon were, everything seemed to become pure and beautiful.

P.S.: There will be another update tonight, and if there's an extra update... I currently owe five updates, but... with the basic one update and the occasional double update... I'll be able to update six or seven times sometime this month.

Chapter Nine To Philippa

Leon's performance was short, lasting less than four minutes.

The piano piece he just played was Beethoven's "Für Elise".

It is said that Beethoven was inspired to create this work by a girl named Alice.

She sought help from others everywhere to help an elderly blind man realize his wish to see the forest and the sea.

Beethoven was deeply moved and specially played a beautiful piece of music for the old man on Christmas Eve. As he listened, the music seemed to allow the old man to see the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, the sea surrounding Tahiti, seagulls, forests, and dazzling sunlight.

The old man closed his eyes contentedly, no longer feeling lonely or sorrowful.

Beethoven then dedicated the piece to the kind-hearted girl Alice.

This piece is beautiful, short and exquisite, and its simple technique makes it easy to play. It has become a must-learn piece for almost all piano beginners. Its high level of artistry and expressiveness has also made it one of the favorite pieces for many musicians to play.

This is also why Leon chose this song.

When he first learned to play the piano, he practiced this piece repeatedly. Many years later, when he touched the piano again, although he could still play those complex pieces, he could no longer play them well or completely.

Thus, this short and exquisite piece, which did not require too many complicated techniques, became Leon's best choice.

"Whose music is this? I don't think I've ever heard it before."

After Leon's piano music stopped, Philippa, sitting quietly on the sofa, gently pursed her red lips as if savoring the memory.

“Miss, it’s normal that you haven’t heard it before, because this is a piece I improvised.”

Without batting an eye, Leon claimed all of Beethoven's achievements as his own.

I apologize, Maestro Beethoven, but I'm only borrowing your music for a short time. Saving a life is a great honor, so please don't blame me.

"Improvisation? You mean—you composed this piece on the spot!"

Excitement and surprise welled up on Philippa's fair face. The piece, though technically simple, was incredibly moving.

As she was immersed in the melody, Philippa seemed to see the majestic glaciers of the northern ice plains, the golden brilliance of the western dream sea, and the red roses quietly blooming under the moonlight in the thorn forest.

"Well, that's right."

Leon replied in a very calm tone, needing to appear as shameless as possible to avoid embarrassing himself.

"Does this piece of music have a name?"

Philippa seemed very interested in Beethoven's piece. She excitedly tilted her delicate little face up and looked at Leon expectantly. Her pretty little tiger teeth gently bit her lower lip, and her posture was very cute. She had completely lost the sinister feeling she had shown before. At this moment, she looked just like a little girl next door who had received her favorite toy.

Name...

Uh, this...

Faced with this question, Leon pondered for a moment before speaking, "May I ask—your esteemed name, Miss?"

Although Leon, who had watched the original anime, knew that the girl in front of him was named Philippa Cooper, Philippa had not told Leon her name yet, so Leon still had to pretend that he didn't know who she was.

"Philippa Cooper".

Philippa blinked her starry eyes and smiled.

“Philippa…Miss Cooper, you are the first and only person in the world to hear this piece of music, so let’s call it ‘To Philippa’.”

Leon's face was radiant with a warm, gentle smile.

"To Philippa... Ugh!"

These despicable humans!

What does he mean?

Is he flirting with me?

How dare he!

Philippa's delicate face was slightly flushed.

original,

Do vampires blush too?

I always thought their faces were always unnaturally pale.

Leon felt strangely that his knowledge had increased again.

"Ahem, um... let's call it To Philippa then, the name matches the piece quite well."

Philippa didn't refuse; she shamelessly accepted it.

She understands music. If Leon's piece becomes popular, it has the potential to be passed down through the ages and become a household name, just like the poem mentioned earlier.

If the song were titled "To Philippa," and the background were altered, it would become... a piece composed by a fallen nobleman of the Fchester Empire to express his love for the vivacious and beautiful young woman he deeply loved, Miss Philippa.

So, along with the music, which has been passed down through the ages, there is also the incredibly beautiful and adorable little girl, Philippa.

So, very good!

At this moment, Philippa was already lost in pleasant reverie, and the more she dazed herself, the happier she became.

I've been really lucky this year; it seems like I've stumbled upon a treasure trove of a human.

"Very good, I am very satisfied. You have passed the test and successfully proved your worth. So now I will give you a chance."

After a moment of silence, Philippa raised her alluringly long and slender chin and stood up from the sofa chair.

"Chance?"

Leon focuses on key words.

His goal was very clear: to please the cunning little girl in front of him and buy time to find an opportunity to escape.

"Okay, could you please be my teacher and teach me that piece of music?"

Philippa smiled, her smile was very sweet, but it also made Leon feel very dangerous.

"teacher?"

What kind of wicked scheme is brewing in this girl's belly?

Leon cautiously probed.

"Yes, please be my piano teacher."

Philippa gave an affirmative answer.

"okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Leon agreed.

Although it's unclear whether Philippa was sincere,

But girls' thoughts are always hard to fathom.

For the sake of prudence,

Leon felt that he should go along with Philippa's temper first.

"Then I'm your student now, so you'd better treat me well."

Philippa was very satisfied with Leon's reply, and she slowly moved closer to him.

"What are you doing?"

Leon immediately became alert, having no doubt that Philippa possessed the ability to instantly kill him.

After all, with his spirituality sealed, he was just an ordinary person; how could he possibly defeat a vampire?

But it turned out Leon was overthinking it. Philippa walked up to him and gave him a light, chicken-pecking kiss on the cheek.

"This is a gift for the teacher as a formal apprenticeship present. Does the teacher like it?"

Philippa had her hands behind her back, a wicked smile on her face.

Leon had no idea what kind of wicked idea was brewing in this kid's little head.

"Yes, I like it."

Leon smiled, feigning amusement.

On the mirrored wall not far away, he could clearly see a distinct peach-pink lip print on his right cheek.

Oh no, this guy is really close to me!

I, Leon, am innocent for life!

I'm not clean anymore...

This is this...

It smells so good, I want more. Sorry Helena, I'm a jerk, hahaha.

Chapter Ten: Leon Reveals His Brilliance

Guberlan, the capital of all cities.

The overcast skies that had lasted for several days finally dissipated, and bright sunlight fell on the moss-covered ancient road leading to the Royal Palace.

Leon strolled along in a cheerful mood.

To outsiders, he appeared to be walking casually, but in reality, he was walking with a purpose.

Soon, in the quiet of the deserted area, Leon quickened his pace, making several turns before entering a narrow, silent path where not even birdsong could be heard.

At first, you could occasionally bump into a few people along the way, but now there isn't a soul in sight. The moss growing underfoot proves that almost no one ever sets foot here.

Instead of continuing to the end of the road, Leon went straight into a dilapidated woodshed by the roadside.

The room was very spacious, with many discarded and rotten pieces of wood against the walls. It was dark and damp, with spider webs everywhere and all sorts of strange mushrooms.

The air was filled with an unpleasant musty smell.

This instantly turned Leon's previously cheerful expression into one of displeasure.

"Old monster, why did you choose this place?"

Leon frowned. He was speaking to thin air.

As soon as Leon finished speaking, a brownish-gray mushroom with purple spots suddenly emerged from a pile of red umbrellas and white stems in the shadow of the stubble wood in the corner. The mushroom grew rapidly until it finally stopped growing when it reached a height of over 1.6 meters.

After it stopped, the mushroom trembled slightly and, amidst the dazzling, illusory light, transformed into a hunched-over, withered old man.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I only planted the parasitic seed here in the palace. If I wanted to teleport back instantly, I could only appear here. Besides, this place is already filled with my aura. Without using advanced detective methods, it would be impossible for anyone to detect me."

The old man chuckled and explained to Leon that because of his extremely ugly appearance, his smile appeared very sinister and cunning.

Therefore, sometimes judging a person by their appearance can really reveal what kind of person they are, because lewd and perverted people will really look lewd and perverted.

Therefore, it's best to avoid reading too much "gentlemanly" material, otherwise you'll just end up looking more and more lewd.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

It's brimming with that old guy's "qi"!

Tsk,

It's disgusting.

Leon felt a sense of disgust, but he didn't show it. Like the original Leon, he and his brother both suffered from severe mysophobia.

Caesar also possessed this trait, most likely inherited from him.

Currently, the only member of the royal family who is truly adventurous and promiscuous is Regent Naden. This man in his thirties earned the title of the Empire's number one playboy when he was only fifteen years old. Over the past twenty years, he has been with countless women, changing lovers as frequently as changing clothes.
