Chapter 602 The Bard and His Protagonist(1/2)
I wonder if it was an illusion... Yunus always felt a little flustered and uneasy.
Master Maxim, who originally had a good attitude toward him, suddenly became cold after Aiwass was sent to the Fairy Kingdom by Mrs. Grace.
Maxim looked at Yunus carefully, and the smile that originally hung on his face disappeared.
The originally kind and grateful eyes turned into an indifferent and scrutinizing gaze.
...Did I just say something wrong?
But I didn’t say anything at all just now!
Yunus was a little confused.
So he put on a relaxed smile, played the harp he had modified, and sang melodious tunes. He walked towards Master Maxim and gave out his iconic three-part smile: "My hospitable and kind friend.
Ah, I have a heartfelt request..."
"——Mr. Yunus."
Suddenly, Maxim pushed up the round glasses on his face and interrupted Yunus in a calm tone: "Can you agree to my request?"
Although it was a request, the glasses mage's tone was so determined and serious.
Yunus has seen this attitude before. This expression sometimes appears on the faces of those who are heavy-hearted and cannot take a joke. At this time, if you continue to act like "Yunus", you may even
It may irritate the other party.
... Speaking of which, the real "Yunus" actually doesn't always talk like this.
Yunus thought so in his heart, and his tone became normal: "You say."
"We'll wait for them to come back later, please stay quiet, okay?"
Master Maxim said: "What I mean is - don't make as much noise as before. Don't play music and speak loudly at the same time. Just like the tone and tone you used when you replied to this sentence just now."
"……Ok, no problem."
Yunus smiled awkwardly and nodded.
——It turns out that you don’t like this, so you should have told me earlier. It’s actually quite tiring for me to talk like this...
Afterwards, Maxim stopped paying attention to him. He just raised his head and looked at the moon, in a daze.
After hearing Aiwass's reasoning and popular science about dendrosis, Yunus probably guessed some of the reasons.
Maxim was angry with him, presumably because he felt that he was staying here because he wanted to see Anastasia.
And returning to the material world may not be good for her body.
——Of course, Yunus did not want to meet Anastasia. He came here to pursue the truth, he just wanted to tell her that he was invited and did not miss the appointment.
Because he was very worried that Anastasia actually just died and he didn't catch up - as long as it didn't end like this.
That becomes "because of his lateness, he failed to fulfill the promise he made."
Now, Anastasia may turn into a tree at any time. Yunus doesn't want her to leave with regrets. He must tell her that the bald idiot who made the promise in the past has not broken the promise.
Yunus has already told Aiwass what he meant - since Miss Anastasia is not in good health, she can just stay in the Fairy Kingdom and continue to recuperate her body. All he needs to do is let Anastasia know that he has
It's good to be here.
And Yunus, who was alone, soon felt a little bored.
It was too quiet here, so quiet that it made him, a bard who was accustomed to the hustle and bustle, a little uncomfortable.
His hands were a little itchy, and he subconsciously wanted to play the piano on his waist, playing a few minor tunes to add some background music. But as soon as he put his hand on it, he subconsciously glanced at Master Maxim, and it felt like he was electrocuted.
He put it down immediately.
What Master Maxim means is that they are not allowed to make any noise after they come back. Although Aiwass and the others have not come back yet... it is hard to say whether his playing here will anger the other party.
After all, Maxim was obviously not in a good mood.
Of course, the main reason is that the other party is indeed a good person, and it is true that his arrival has caused more trouble to the other party. Therefore, it is not easy for Yunus to confront the other party at this time.
...It's so boring.
Yunus sighed, followed Maxim's example, raised his head and looked at the moon.
He missed his friends a little bit.
In fact, the reason why Yunus behaves in such exaggerated and funny ways is because this is the iconic behavior of "Yunus" in Prince Albert's memory.
In order to become Yunus, he kept repeating this behavior.
But in fact, when Yunus spoke to people, he did not use this tone at all. You know, when Yunus was still alive, Yunus was responsible for negotiating with other people. At that time, Al
Bert was hiding alone in the cloak that covered half of his face, hiding far back with his arms folded across his chest.
That bald man can talk to everyone, talk nonsense, and can make friends with anyone. How could he be like Albert, whose speech is always funny and as special as an opera...
But the problem was that Albert could not learn the art of speaking from Yunus.
"...I miss you a little bit again, dear friend."
He looked at the moon and murmured softly.
His best friend Yunus is not a descendant of the founding family. His parents are neither knights nor bishops... His father is the Iris, a clown in a burlesque troupe. His mother is from Avalon.
A wealthy businessman engaged in real estate development lost his parents early, and he supported the family business alone.
Although it was a formal marriage witnessed by the church, in Albert's view, their relationship was more like lovers than husband and wife. The two lived in different places and did not affect each other's lives on weekdays.
, but the relationship is very good when we get together occasionally.
However, from the perspective of "lovers", their age gap is not very big. As a "supporter", Yunus's mother is only more than ten years older than his father.
Albert had seen that woman - she was a firm, rational and righteous lady.
How to describe her justice?
When her family's company was taken over, its business could cover 60% of the Red and White Queens. After being run by her for ten years, the business scale was successfully reduced to one-fifth.
People who stick to their principles too much will not do well in business.
Yunus's father is just the opposite - he is responsible for taking care of the children, and he is a rather optimistic man. He always laughs a lot every day, can make jokes, and can withstand ridicule, and his words are humorous and witty.
, everyone likes him. Even during the years when Queen Sofia had the most explosive temper and stubbornness, she became a good friend with him. Sometimes she would bring this clown to the Palace of Silver and Tin, just to
Ask him for his opinion on something.
At that time, some of Albert's friends would ridicule this as "ruling the country by clowns". This made Albert very embarrassed...especially since his father had just died, which made him even more uncomfortable.
But when he personally tried to persuade the Queen, she ignored him.
At the same time, ministers would also issue advice, and there would also be some gossip among the people. However, none of these things could affect Queen Sophia's arbitrary will.
It was also in this environment that Albert came into contact with Yunus.
He initially came into contact with him with hostility, but after contact, he discovered that this child had inherited his father's eloquence.
——It was not until later that Albert learned that Yunus's father had long been suffering from a terminal disease that even the bishop could not cure. It was impossible for him to talk to Queen Sofia for power... because he would not live long at all.
Moreover, Yunus's mother had long known that he was terminally ill.
She married Yunus' father knowing this. Because he brought her happiness, she returned the responsibility.
——Yunus is like a combination of these two people, inheriting their advantages.
Later, when Albert was about to run away from home, none of his friends wanted to leave with him. Only Yunus, who said, "I just want to go out and have a look," briskly accompanied Albert.
Bert went out to relax.
With his sociable skills, if he had continued to stay on the Glass Island, he might have become a minister by now.
When he first left the Glass Island, Albert often felt self-loathing because of his cowardice and incompetence.
At such times, Yunus would never tell him any big truths, nor would he comfort him or admonish him. He would only play the piano slowly and wait for Albert to calm down.
.There is not much technique in his piano sound, but it is full of profound emotion.
Once, Albert finally couldn't help but asked him: "Why did you leave the glass island with a loser like me, Yunus?"
"There is no reason."
Yunus put down his harp, thought for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Because you are asking me for help, and because I think those people are quite boring, and you are a pretty good person. It is interesting to be entangled with yourself all the time, and your character is also very interesting."
Don’t be annoying. It’s ten times better to get into trouble with you than to live an infinitely repetitive life at home!”
That was the first time that Yunus told Albert his true feelings seriously.
It was also from that time that Albert realized...this man was completely different from himself.
Although they have the same profession, compared with his good brother Yunus, Albert cannot be called a qualified bard at all.
They are not wandering companions.
Rather, it is "the bard and the protagonist of his story that he has chosen."
Whenever Yunus finished negotiating with someone, he would always return to him with a happy look, saying, "Thank God, thanks to the blessing of the Silver Crowned Dragon", "We are very lucky, Mr. Albert" "Then
The gentleman is a good person and has agreed to our negotiations.”
...Now, he can only learn from Yunus.
To be continued...
