Realizing this, Willow finally understood why Vivienne always claimed that even though Caspian was foolish, his soul was incredibly tender.
On the other side of the room, Vivienne finished her calls and walked back over. Caspian winked at Willow. "Don't tell her, or she'll beat me up for sure."
Willow nodded knowingly, making a zipping motion across her lips.
Vivienne looked up at her in confusion. "What are you two whispering about? Why so secretive?"
Willow beamed. "Maestro Skye said he wants to take me as his student!"
"In his dreams!" Vivienne rolled her eyes. "I gave you the chance before, and you didn't want it. Now you've taken a shine to my Willow? Get in line! When you actually prove you're qualified, maybe then you'll get the chance to be her maestro!"
Caspian didn't take offense, merely nodding repeatedly. "You're right. I'll go get in line in my dreams right now."
Vivienne huffed. Seeing that he was in better spirits, she tilted her chin up. "Alright, we won't bother you anymore. We're going to practice. Willow and I will come find you tomorrow morning."
Caspian smiled and nodded.
With that, Vivienne and Willow left. Watching their retreating figures, Caspian's eyes were filled with profound gentleness.
He pulled a file from the very bottom drawer of his desk. Across the cover, a few bold words were written: The Celestial Composition Project.
Musicians from all over the globe were gathering to collaboratively compose a masterpiece, which would serve as a celebratory birthday tribute to the Solarian Royal House. Once completed, it would premiere live at the Golden Hall in Vienna.
Anyone who participated in this legendary performance would be granted eternal glory by the royal family, securing their legacy as an immortal titan of music.
Caspian was among the invited elite. Following tradition, he had a single recommendation slot—a secret he hadn't shared with a soul.
He felt the Landon family was utterly unworthy, just as the manufactured talents under their label were unworthy.
But now, he intended to give this golden ticket to Willow.
With her sheer brilliance, she would unequivocally shock the world.
More importantly, rubbing shoulders with the industry's heaviest hitters would pave a perfectly smooth road for her future career.
He considered this his repayment for everything she had done.
