Chapter 1704


    She wasn''t sure, but she didn''t want to see him being punished by Kiel. That was why she quickly said, “Sir, everyone is curious about your


    capabilities. How about you use this opportunity to give me a few pointers at making tea or ying the harp for my sake? What do you think?”


    He was the great General of the North. How could he make tea or y an instrument for others so casually? What would he be if he did so?


    He rejected her calmly, “We are not rted to each other whatsoever. Why should I teach


    Jasmine''s eyes widened as she stared at Nathan in disbelief.


    Such arrogancelWhat a preposterous statement! Not only did he not respect Mr. Kiel, but he''s also humiliating me.


    Penny was aware of Nathan and the Davier family''s past. When she found out that the man in front of them was the son of Mr. Davier, she was so.


    afraid that her husband would start another fight with the Davier family.


    She quickly whispered to her husband, “How about you just y a song on the harp if you know how to do it, Hubby?"


    Nathan showed no respect to anyone, but when he heard what Penny had said, he epted instantly with a smile.


    “Alright. I''ll y a song. But this song isn’t for anyone else but you.”


    Penny''s face blushed upon hearing that. She was shy but also happy at the same time.


    Kylie shook her head as she watched their interaction by the side. Nathan''s spoiling Penny again. He really loves his wife a lot.


    Soon, everyone''s attention was on Nathan as he walked into the pavilion with the harp. The ce turned quiet the moment he sat down.


    The people focused intently in anticipation.


    Nathan put his hands on the harp and he lightly plucked the string on it as though he was testing the sounds.


    A few melodious tones came from the instrument.


    The crowd looked at him with a whole spectrum of expressions on their faces but most of them were unable to believe that Nathan was actually great


    at ying the harp.


    After all, there were very few people who actually knew how to y that instrument. And it was definitely a rare urrence that there was someone


    better at ying it than the tea goddess.


    Kiel folded his arms as he watched Nathan with a sneer while Penny, Jasmine, and Kylie were full of anticipation as they listened attentively.


    Nathan began ying and the melodious music rang in the air.


    Jasmine frowned slightly. Obviously, Nathan knew how to y the harp, but she had never heard of or yed the song he was ying. She


    questioned in shack, “What kind of song is this? It sounds like a piece of lyrical music.”


    The man looked rxed as he continued ying


    It was as if the melodious sound of the harp flowed from his fingertips.


    The music seemed to have a magical charm as it managed to refresh the minds of those listening.


    Everyone couldn''t help but close their eyes and enjoy the song.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Once they closed their eyes, different scenes and images shed through their minds along with the music.


    A calm and beautiful vige appeared in Jasmine''s mind. A couple was getting married with the blessings of family and friends.


    Both the bride and groom were good-looking and they were a match made in heaven


    Right at that moment, the mood of the music changed from a calm and gentle one to a tragic


    one.


    The beautiful vige vanished and

    Then, the pace of the music turned faster and faster.


    The images in her mind turned into a troop of armies fighting against a troop of foreign armies. The imagery was so intense that Jasmine pictured


    blood and flesh flying everywhere.


    Finally, when the war ended, she could picture bodies everywhere but it was impossible to tell the enemies and allies apart. Blood had stained the


    grounds and the rivers.


    Only an ownerless warhorse was left on the battlefield, letting loose an anguished wail.


    Then, the music became incredibly slow.


    The scene in Jasmine''s mind changed again. This time, there was a dpidated cottage in a rundown vige


    The bride who had escaped with other refugees to the South fell asleep on her thatched bedte in the night


    A smile appeared on her tear-stained face, probably dreamt that her husband had returned.


    At that moment, the sound of music stopped.


    Jasmine opened her eyes and realized that her eyes had welled up with tears. She heaved a slow sigh and said, “Pity are those whoy buried but


    have lovers waiting longingly for them to return.”
