Rest In Peperoni Nico!

Epilogue

I finally decided to tell Tori about the charcoal sketch. I invited her, and she came to my house. I showed her the sketch of Alois Vilhelm and said that he might've been the inspiration for my family members' names.

"Interesting. Who do you think wrote the endearments?"

"I don't know. The portrait dates from 1819, so the person who wrote it must've lived during those times.."

"The naming of Louis variant names was started by your fifth great-grandfather, right?" Tori asked.

I think about it for a while. "I don't think he's the one who wrote it, Tori. He's born in 1815, so he probably wouldn't address Alois by his first name."

"You're right, Al." Tori continued, "And it couldn't be your sixth great-grandmother, since your sixth great-grandfather and her divorced a year before."

Suddenly, I remembered about the exhibit.

"Tori? Remember about that letter from 'Victor'? What if.. what if Victor was indeed my sixth great-grandfather, and this Alois.. was his beloved?"

"We can't confirm it yet. We need more proof."

I replied quickly. "I got the sketch from a secret storage under my bed! Maybe there's more things in there!"

"Let's check it!" She turned on the flashlight function on her phone. I opened the secret storage and pulled out a pile of unsealed envelopes.

With shaking hands, I opened one of them and examined the content. A love letter for 'Victor', signed by "Your Beloved". Tori held Alois's sketch, and we compared his handwriting to the letter.

"It fits," we said in union. Then, Tori quickly opened her gallery app, viewing the letter from 'Victor', then comparing it with the endearments behind the sketch, and finally, to Claus Chasterell's handwritten original script of "The Knight and The Elven Bard".

"Is it him?" I asked. She nodded. "Yes, it is Claus's handwriting."

"So, does it mean, the reason my fifth great-grandfather named his son Alois.. is because Alois Vilhelm dated Claus Chasterell?"

"Yes."

We both looked at each other. We did it. We found out who's this Alois my family members are named after.

His name is Alois Vilhelm, and he's my sixth great-grandfather's lover.

(A/N : sorry if this is so rushed, guys! I just wanted to make sure this wouldn't end up unfinished like Cosette and Louisette.. also the secret is pretty guessable isn't it?)

okay but nonbinary people who wear hijabs. effervescent. every single nb hijabi deserves to have a great day

It's been a long time since I drew nicc.. and I've never post any drawing of him in tumblr.. so here's the drawing

( I know it's not really good, but well, I tried. )

Here's some lettering art I made. It's not much, but I'm still proud of it. I took the quote from a letter hehe

So, I just started reading TSoA in Indonesian after getting quite far in the English version.. and oh my gosh, I just noticed some of the foreshadowing ;–;

I know that I kinda hinted it in my blog's header, but I'm still gonna tell it directly because it feels better this way, to be completely open about myself.

I'm bi.

No problem!

Can we talk about THE GUITAR PIECES OF PAGANINI. Jisus, I can’t stop feeling like they’re so underrated, I mean- Listen, I’’m never romantic about music because of personal stuff, but damn… ‘Romanza’. ROMANZA. I feel like seeing a yard of just herb and butterflies flying around. It’s beautiful. And ‘Grand Sonata’ feels pretty nostalgic (maybe because my country took it to make a kids melody…. yikes). It’s just a safe comfort place when I listen to it. And not gonna imagine how GOOD could be the guitar piece he dedicated to Germi…

Istg when I grow up I'll be open minded and won't believe those awful rumours and fake news my older relatives believe
