144. But what are you referring to?

[The melody that dances with the waves]

After a piano showdown with the famous English pianist Pascal.

Alain’s popularity and reputation grew even more.

Many people on board were crowded to listen to Alain’s piano, and the popularity of the Pernell band also increased and continued many performances.

However, Alain’s eyes were shaded.

“Hey Alain, are you okay? The complexion is the complexion that will soon die? You look so unwell.”

“it’s okay. It’s just that I can’t sleep.”

“Your turn to clean the practice room today is Alain, right? Just go in and rest today. I will do it for you.”

Courtesy of violinist Laurent, Alain smiled weakly and said,

“It’s really okay. I’m going to drink a few strong rums today and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Ugh. Take a look at your face now. Come on in! Or am I angry?”

Laurence pushes Alain toward the dorm almost as if pushing him.

Alain thanked Lorraun as if he couldn’t help it any longer.

“I’m so sorry for what I did. I will recover quickly.”

Parvis, the trumpet player, who watched Alain go back to the lodging, clicked his tongue.

“I’m going through the pain of first love once. Even if I do, it’s because I like a woman who has that kind of personality. Eh tsk tsk.”

Seeing Parvis click his tongue, Roreong said while arranging his props.

“hahahahaha, but don’t you look like my age now? To be honest, Alain has never left this place, so he is very inexperienced. I have to go through trials and see pain, and I have to see it. Wouldn’t it be the strength to overcome this harsh world?”

“hahahahaha, you are right. By the way, a man becomes a real adult because of a woman.”

So while the two musicians are chatting.

Someone entered the practice room.

“Hey, master, are you here? Get some more rest.”

It was Alain’s father and concertmaster Pernell.

“Well? Lorraine, Parvis, are you guys still here? You must be tired, but hurry up and rest. I’m here to get some sheet music for a while.”

“hahahahaha, I was going to finish cleaning the practice room quickly and rest.”

“Cleaning the practice room? Isn’t it Alain’s turn today? Did I get it wrong?”

“ah! Alain’s condition seems to be not very good, so I changed it. Are you in no condition to clean?”

Pernell looked at Alain’s dorm with concern at Lorraun’s words.

that time.

First class accommodation on the ‘Ile de France’.

Pascal put the strong whiskey in his mouth and gulped it down his throat.

“Big…”

“Are you drinking again? stop drinking now It really hurts me.”

Pascal, his eyes wide open, stared at Emily.

“Oh~ Aren’t you my fiancé Miss Emily? Did you come to see the ugly fiancée who lost in an ugly way to a guy he doesn’t even know the basics of? giggle I thought you were going to go find Alain instead of me, but I’m very sorry about this.”

“Haa… it’s not like that. Alain is just a friend. It’s not what you thought. As you said, we are related by family. What the hell are you worried about?”

Unable to hide her frustration, Emily appealed to Pascal, who was sitting against the wall.

“I know… I know! At first it was just grumpy. I knew they were friends, but he said he did it out of spite because he seemed closer to that guy named Alain than to me. So I just wanted to shove that bastard’s nose right in front of you, Emily. That’s all! In the end, I was horribly broken, but hehehehe.”

gulp

“Really… that’s disappointing. I really didn’t know you were this kind of person. Whether you drink or what you do, do it yourself. I won’t care anymore.”

bang

Emily glared at Pascal with a cold expression, closed Pascal’s door without looking back and left.

“You look good, Pascal. It’s a fantastic cruise.”

Pascal’s inner world grew darker and darker.

The pride he had achieved as a musician collapsed in an instant,

The married woman whom he truly loved left in contempt for himself.

Even if I went back to England, I didn’t have the confidence to play the piano like I used to.

“Why… why did this happen? It must have been a normal and enjoyable daily life until a few days ago.”

His broken heart began to twist little by little when he met the strong whiskey.

“It is because of that child. Everything was ruined when a guy with no roots intervened. That bastard is the problem.”

Pascal muttered only Alain like a madman.

As the spirit of alcohol circulated stronger, reason gradually flew away, and a bitter life began to circulate in his eyes.

Pascal suddenly recalled a conversation between musicians on board passing by.

“Huyu How come the practice room didn’t get cleaned on a tough day like today? Alain is always on duty at the practice room on days like this?”

Pascal’s eyes began to glow with a tinge of life.

“Just remove the cause of the problem and everything will go back to normal. hehehe.”

Staggering to his feet, Pascal took something out of his bag and picked it up.

It was a piano string that I always carried with me as a spare.

Pascal arrived at the orchestra practice room, avoiding people’s eyes as much as possible, and looked around.

A dark corridor filled with cool silence.

Pascal took the piano strings out of his pocket and held them tightly in his hand.

The lights were on in the band practice room, but I could definitely feel the presence of people.

kiik

Pascal opened the door as discreetly as possible and turned off the light in the practice room.

“uh? Why did the light suddenly go out…? kuk”

struggling

in pitch black darkness.

There was the sound of someone’s gasping and the sound of fingernails scratching the floor.

Deuk Deuk Deuk

“Knock.”

“die! die! How dare you try to defeat me? Look for it!!!!”

How long has it been? The struggle of the opponent who struggled gradually began to weaken,

Before I knew it, my fingers, which had been scratching the floor, began to lose their strength.

Chuuk

Soon after, when the opponent was completely stretched out, Pascal let go of the grip he was holding as hard as he could.

“Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee”

tuk tuk

He gripped the piano strings so tightly that Pascal’s hands were cut by the strings and blood was dripping.

Has your mind returned? Pascal’s complexion turned pale when he realized what he had done.

“No… I didn’t do this. no!”

Then, in a hurry, he grabbed the piano strings and quickly left the practice room.

On the floor of the practice room, blood vessels had burst in both eyes, leaving only a cold corpse with red eyes wide open.

next day.

“Oh, that’s the head. Did you drink too much rum yesterday?”

Alain woke up from his sleep, clutching his head with a terrible hangover.

Alain went outside to catch the morning sea breeze.

“Well? Why are people so crowded?”

Feeling the unusual atmosphere, Alain approached.

“Parvis, what’s going on?”

When Parvis noticed him with his head down, Alain grabbed him by the shoulder and asked.

“hehehe, Alain. The chief… the chief Pernell…”

“Yeah!? Why is your father?”

Seeing Parvis sobbing without a word, Alain, who felt bad, made his way through the crowd of people into the practice room.

“Oh, Alain. You can’t come in here.”

In the practice room, the ship’s medical personnel looked at Alain with pity.

Alain’s eyes moved to something on the floor covered with a white cloth.

Alain approached slowly, step by step, as if time had stretched out.

Soon, with trembling hands, he slowly lifted the white cloth, revealing a pale face with no sense of vitality.

A thin line of blood was drawn on his neck, and it was clear that something sharp had dug into it.

“Ahh”

Alain, who had his butt on the floor, stepped back as if denying reality.

“No… My father… why the hell is my father?”

Alain couldn’t believe this reality.

At that time, Lorong came crying.

“It’s because of me. big. The chief died because of me.”

“What, what does that mean?”

“Yesterday, Alain and you found out that you and I changed the order of cleaning the practice room, and the concert director said that it was right for the father to do the son’s part, and he said he did it himself. If I hadn’t changed the order, he wouldn’t have died…”

“no! Who the hell would do this…”

Did you say that when people face a reality they cannot handle, they become calmer?

Alain’s mind struggled to deny this hellish reality.

Then there was commotion outside again.

“Leave this! Know who I am now! I am Pascal Blaise, the second son of Count Blaise! Do you guys dare to treat me like this and be safe!?”

“Is that person the culprit?”

“Oh my God… why would someone who has nothing to envy do such a heinous thing…?”

Pascal was dragged out, shackled by the security guards.

“Is he really the culprit?”

“Yes, that’s right. A bloody piano string came out of this man’s pocket. It’s exactly the same as the slender wound on the dead man’s neck. Also, if you look at Lee Ja’s hand, you can clearly see the cuts on the rope. This person is the culprit.”

As Alain screamed and rushed at Pascal, the security guards stopped him.

“aaa!! You… did you really? why! why did you do that! Why the hell!!”

Desperate at the clear evidence, Pascal glared at Alain.

“Cheuk that’s right. Originally, you should have died, but only a strict person died for no reason.”

“What!?”

“I heard that you were there that day and went there. In the end, you killed him. gigg”

Afterwards, Pascal was dragged away by security and Alain was sitting on his knees on the floor, devastated.

His pupils were empty like those of a dead person, and his gaping mouth seemed to indicate his current state of mind.

“Ah, Alain…”

“done. In this case, it’s best to just leave it alone. Let’s go.”

clap

When the door closed, Alain was left alone.

Only then did the tears I had been holding back started to flow.

“heheheuk oh oh oh oh! big”

puck puck

Alain beats his chest with the momentum to break his bones.

As the shock and sadness that I couldn’t handle came over me, it was like dirty filth was stirring in my head.

“Father…sin…so sorry…hehehehe, it’s because of me.”

He roared and howled like a wounded beast and could not get out of the spot for a long time.

“Cut!!”

When director Jean Dumont’s cut sign fell, the sighs he had been holding back burst out here and there.

“Whoa…”

“Huh… What is emotional acting? Was Song’s acting originally like that?”

“No, I only saw the trium over and honestly thought the emotional acting would be weak, but isn’t it a joke?”

Kyu-ha’s grievous sobbing performance even made the atmosphere at the scene heavy.

The sensitive staff shed tears as they sympathized with Alain’s feelings.

The rational staff also rubbed the chicken skin on their arms in admiration.

“This is a movie we are filming, but aren’t you looking forward to the content in the future?”

“That’s it. I thought it was just me again. Why are you so excited when you know everything about it?”

At first, I was kind to the fact that Kyu-ha was the hero of Bataclan, but now I nod my head while watching Kyu-ha’s excellent acting.

In this way, his position as actor Song Kyu-ha in the field was further solidified.

***

Dorville Hotel.

General manager Frederic welcomed Kyuha.

“Welcome, Song. Are you tired? I will prepare a meal for you.”

“Thank you, Frederick.”

Kyu-ha, who was about to go up to the inn, turned again and headed for Frederick.

“Doctor. Can I ask you something?”

“As much as you like.”

“Do you know where Saint Michel Church is?”

“The Saint-Michel Church is in Pont-Leveque. It’s not too far from here.”

“ah! okay. Then, if the records and holy relics left by Archbishop Aubert are found… will there be any repercussions?”

Frederick’s long white eyebrows twitched at Kyuha’s words.

“of course. Probably the whole of France will be excited. The records left by Archbishop Aubert alone have tremendous historical value, but even holy relics are said to come out… It must be difficult to convert this into money.”

“Hmm… that’s right. Thank you for answer. I will definitely refer to it.”

“Please keep that in mind.”

Kyu-ha nodded to Frederic and went back to the dorm.

At that time, Frederic suddenly tilted his head.

“But what are you referring to?”
