The Goddess

Although they were in different circles, Lucius and Hansen knew each other.

When Hansen spotted Lucius, he also noticed Orion behind him. Hansen greeted him casually by raising his glass, “Well, it’s good to see you here, Lucius.”

Lucius saw Seraphina and Olivia sitting with Hansen and figured they had come together. His eyes

flickered thoughtfully before he pulled Orion to sit nearby. “Let’s play a round. You don’t mind, do you, Colombo?”

Hansen didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he turned to Seraphina. “My Queen, do you mind?”

Seraphina stood up immediately. “Do as you please. I’m going downstairs to watch the band.”

Olivia jumped up at once. “Let’s go! It’s suffocating up here, and some people just can’t take a hint.”

Sarah quickly took three bottles of good liquor. “I’m coming too!”

Orion’s gaze lingered on Seraphina until she disappeared from his sight. Then, he turned to Hansen. “What’s the deal with Seraphina and you, Colombo?”

Hansen let out a cold chuckle, tilting his head. “We’re friends.”

“Friends? With someone like her? She’s probably playing tricks…”

“Lucius Brown!” Lucius’s words were cut off by Orion.

Hansen’s eyes turned icy as he looked at Lucius. And what kind of person is she, Lucius? Do you even know?”

“I …” Lucius felt publicly criticised. Even Orion wasn’t backing him up. He was a little depressed. He couldn’t tell Hansen about Seraphina’s despicable deeds.

Boom! The sudden roar of music from downstairs shook the room, igniting the most intense atmosphere of the whole night.

The familiar music of the Monster Band, returning after three years, instantly ignited the crowd’s excitement and passion. People cheered swayed, and gazed up at the stage in awe.

Lucius couldn’t believe his ears. “The Monster Band? Weren’t they retired? How on earth are they here? I heard some big-shot shows tried to book them with a high fee, and they wouldn’t budge. And now they’re playing at this bar?!”

The Monster Band had three members, namely Vampire, Werewolf, and Ghost. Tonight, only Vampire and Werewolf were present. but their performance was more than enough to ignite the crowd’s fervour. Their command of the music’s pulse had everyone under their spell.

Downstairs, Olivia was screaming and cheering, oblivious to Sarah taking Seraphina backstage.

“There’s three minutes left in this song. Ghost couldn’t make it because of his appendicitis surgery, and without the violin, the soul of the song is missing because the song will end with a violin and bass duet. You have to step in!”

“Me?” Seraphina was stunned.

“Yes, you! You’re the only one who’s ever worked with them. They’re here for you. Don’t you want to bring back the magic?”

The deafening music and the rush of familiar memories brought a smile to Seraphina’s face. “Alright, I’m in.”

The crowd on stage cheered and danced, losing themselves in the fervour.

Seraphina slipped unnoticed onto the stage, carrying a violin in her left hand and holding up her flowing skirt with her right.

The lights instantly dimmed, leaving a single spotlight on the stage.

Vampire and Werewolf’s eyes sparkled as they seamlessly passed the musical lead to Vampire the bassist. The highlight of the song was the intricate duet between the bass and violin, a piece revered in the music world. Only a performer of equal talent could maintain the song’s soul.

Vampire took over the rhythm, driving the crowd’s excitement to its peak with a few powerful chords.

In the next moment, the rich, delicate sound of the violin melded flawlessly into the music. The drums faded away, and the violin’s bold, resonant notes took over. The audience watched in awe as Seraphina played with effortless skill, her expression serene yet powerful. Her violin weaved through the melody, adding her unique flair.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

As the drums rejoined, perfectly synchronized with the violin, the music swelled, combining grandeur with finesse. The two-minute duet ended, leaving the crowd roaring with ecstatic applause, their cheers deafening.

“Ahhh, Goddess!”

“Goddess!”

Upstairs, Orion’s eyes were wide with astonishment, unable to hide his surprise.
