"Wendsor, can you play the piano?" Sean looked at Windsor in disbelief.

I didn't expect the tall and handsome Windsor to be able to play the harp, which is a bard's ability to make a living.

Windsor nodded. As for playing the piano, the nobles in Stormwind City are more or less good at playing the piano. After all, entertainment is too scarce.

"The instrument that the Earl holds is a bit like the lute from my hometown. The positions of the strings are similar, so I think I can give it a try." Windsor replied.

"Okay, Lord Earl, can I ask him to do it for me?" Sean asked.

Before Earl River could speak, Brody, who was standing next to him, spoke first: "Your Majesty, Earl, how can the piano you used be used by this untouchable? You..."

"Shut up!" Earl River also became impatient and scolded.

After hearing what Earl River said, Brody immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.

"It's up to you, but if his performance is not satisfactory, it's best for you to come in person." Earl River handed the piano to Sean, and Sean handed the piano to Wende without thinking.

Sol.

...

"Now I would like to ask this 'civilian' gentleman to play a piece of music for everyone."

At this time, Brody excitedly shouted to all the nobles in the hall: "Since he can be recognized by His Highness Sean, his playing level must be outstanding. I hope his performance can bring people great success in this warm spring."

Give everyone a little chill!"

Brody's shout attracted all the nobles in the hall. The nobles stopped chatting and looked at Sean.

Moreover, Brody's last words also caused a burst of laughter from the nobles.

...

After Windsor took the piano, he adjusted the strings and walked towards the edge of the dance floor, where the performance was best.

After a series of events just now, Windsor, who was wearing civilian clothes, suddenly became the focus of the audience. After all, he represented Sean.

Even Lucas stopped dancing at this time, but stood quietly in the middle of the dance floor waiting for Windsor to play the piano.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Windsor, and there was contempt, doubt, disdain, and curiosity in these eyes.

After all, Windsor had been in a high position for a long time in his previous life, so naturally this small scene would not make him nervous. He gently tuned the strings, and then slowly started to play.

The tune Windsor plays is called "The Pride of the Lion", which is a tavern tune in the Lion's Pride Tavern in Goldshire. He learned it in his spare time. Because the tune is relatively simple, he can play it more skillfully.

At the beginning, Windsor often made mistakes or mispronounced the notes, and the effect of his playing was not good.

But gradually, his mistakes became fewer and fewer.

While playing, Windsor thought of the tavern in Goldshire, of Stormwind City, and of Anduin as a child, who might never be seen again!

Thinking of this, Windsor's playing became more and more emotional.

The nobles in the hall were very disdainful at the beginning. The playing was a little out of tune at the beginning, and many nobles even laughed out loud.

But as Windsor's playing got better and better, the eyes of the nobles gradually changed from contempt to shock, from shock to solemnity, and from solemnity to concentration.

At the end, the entire hall was silent, everyone was listening to Windsor's performance carefully, and no one wanted to make a sound.

Brody originally wanted to criticize Windsor after it ended, but at this time he was also immersed in the intoxicating melody and completely forgot what he wanted to do.

It wasn't until after the song ended that Windsor left the edge of the dance floor and handed the piano to Sean that the nobles in the hall came to their senses.

...

"good!"

Earl River was the first to react and took the lead in applauding.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The other nobles in the hall did not hesitate to applaud, and they all followed Earl River in applauding. The applause lasted for more than a minute and did not stop.

"Thank you all!" Windsor also saluted politely to the nobles in the hall.

"Five hundred gold coins!" At this time, Earl River spoke, "I will pay you five hundred gold coins, Sean, how about you give Windsor to me?"

As the Earl of River spoke, he looked at Windsor with fiery eyes: "Come to me, and the salary I will give you will be doubled based on what His Highness Sean promised you! No, tripled!"

Earl River has long been tired of women, fine wines, and delicacies, but he only has a special liking for playing the piano.

The piano he is currently using was made by the top piano craftsmen in the Anjou Kingdom, and he often searches for piano music scores across the country.

Now that he heard Windsor's playing, it was as if an extremely thirsty man in the desert had discovered a source of water and wanted to take it for himself at all costs.

Windsor could roughly guess what Earl River was thinking by looking at his expression, but Windsor's expression remained calm without any change, and he turned to look at Sean.

Sean would naturally not sell Windsor to the Earl of River. Without Windsor's [Taunt] skill, his own life might not be guaranteed.

"Well... Lord Earl, our territory is currently short of manpower. I finally found a suitable helper..."

"1,000 gold coins!" Earl River interrupted Sean's words domineeringly.

1000 gold coins!

After hearing what Earl River said, there was an exclamation in the hall. 1,000 gold coins, this is not a small amount!

The hiring fee for a silver-level master is about 40-50 gold coins per month, and 1,000 gold coins is enough to hire a silver-level master for two years.

It may be a bit abstract to talk about silver-level masters, so let’s talk about the strategic resource of the territory - cattle.

The price of an adult bull is about 15-18 gold coins. In other words, the price paid by the Earl of River is equivalent to 60 cows, which is already a very high price.

.....

When Sean heard the price, he was a little moved, but he still rejected the Earl of River.

"Don't talk about 1,000 gold coins, even if it is 2,000 gold coins, I will not let him leave me. You also know that I have just been assassinated, and there is no one around me who can protect me...

But let’s do this, when the situation in the territory stabilizes in half a year, I will ask Windsor to come to Jon City, and I won’t accept a single gold coin by then, what do you think?”

Of course, Sean would not let Windsor come to Jon City. The second half of his sentence was just polite. He had to give Earl River a step down, right?

"Okay, what's your opinion, Windsor?" Earl River asked, still unwilling to give up.

"Now that I have become the captain of the bodyguard of His Highness Sean, I naturally obey His Highness in everything." Windsor's answer was impeccable.

"Then let's do it. You are welcome to come to Jon City in half a year." Earl River sighed, "The dinner continues. Windsor, your playing skills are very good. Let's talk about it..."

...

During the rest of the dinner, Earl River kept pulling Windsor and asking questions.

Brody saw that Earl River had been on Sean's side, and he didn't dare to cause trouble.

After provoking Brody's anger, Jessica left the hall and didn't know where she went.

Lucas continued to throw each noble young woman into the air.
