Finding Stardust

The incident caused a stir for a while, but then people forgot about it. Their attention was diverted when they heard loud music blaring.

They quickly looked up and found a huge floating platform descending from the sky, served as a stage for a concert. On that stage, there was a group of musicians on the left and right sides, ready with their various musical instruments.

Then, in the middle, there was a young man who stood straight with his head bowed, so that his face could not be seen. The appearance of the guy with his group of musicians instantly excited whispers from among the audience.

From the obvious enthusiasm of those around her, Emma could tell that this man was a famous person. She looked up and tried to see what was so special about him that people became excited at the sight of him.

"What is he doing here?" Therius grumbled suddenly. He walked over to Emma, ​​wanted to praise the girl's quick thinking that had gotten rid of Yldwyn and at the same time concealing Therius' identity in front of the crowd.

However, he quickly saw Emma staring straight at the stage. Her eyes looked very interested in the person standing in the middle. Therius was immediately displeased.

"Do you know who he is?" asked Emma, ​​who heard Therius complain. She turned to the side when she felt the man's hand hugging her waist from behind. The man seemed to be rolling his eyes, making Emma think that the prince did not like the man who just appeared on stage.

Xion had finished writing his wishes on his lantern, and he was delighted with the result. He put away his lantern and walked over to his friends. 

"Who are you talking about?" asked the man to Emma and Therius. Before he could get an answer from either of them, his attention was distracted by the sound of the beautiful music from the stage, followed by the voice of a man singing.

Emma had never heard a man sing so magnificently like today. Her beautiful eyes immediately turned wide open as she paid attention to the stage.

At the same time, the man on the stage slowly raised his face and reach out his hand to the audience, and now Emma could see how he looked. Oh, his face is just as beautiful as his voice!

No wonder the ladies around here suddenly went crazy, she thought.

The man was singing a simple song about childhood friendship. It was ridiculous how such a simple song could sound this beautiful when he was the one singing it. Although it looked effortless, his performance managed to get excited reactions from the audience in the plaza.

Therius wanted to resist, but seeing Emma glared at him, he finally complied, like a guilty cat. He knew that Emma was angry because she only found out from reading Yldwyn's mind that Therius actually agreed to have two wives before the king.

The prince immediately made a mental note to explain everything thoroughly and apologize for making her find out about it from a third party. Finally, he would explain his plan to kill King Cassius right after their wedding so he wouldn't have to marry Yldwyn.

"That is our schoolmate," said Xion with a laugh. He pointed to the stage and shook his head. "He still hasn't changed."

Emma didn't have to ask who it was, for the screams of the women around her had told her.

"Aerroooon !!! We love you so much !!"

"Baby!!"

"Aeroon!"

"Aeron!! My love Aeron!! Please look this way..!"

"Aeron honey!! I wanna have your babies!!"

Speaking of the devil, Therius thought. This evening when he was about to propose to Emma, ​​Therius was actually thinking about this schoolmate of his. He remembered Aeron was a casanova, the real lady killers, with undisputable charms, and women always threw themselves at him. 

Apparently, it was still the same to this day.

The man's voice was stunning that even a simple song would suddenly become special. Emma was in awe. She had never heard of a man who could sing in almost any octave as Aeron was currently doing.

Besides having an incredible voice, the man also had a very pleasing appearance. His face was so beautiful and smooth, almost like a girl's. His long black hair was half tied above his head, making him look very masculine.

He was athletic, with all the muscles in the right place. He had this bad boy look with black leather pants, cool boots, and a thin white shirt with buttons unfastened all the way down his chest, showing off a black leather necklace with a silver pendant dangling from his neck.

What a beautiful sight, Emma thought. Staring at him while listening to his hypnotic singing voice could make any woman lose her mind.

Emma had never been to any music concert during her life on earth, but she had watched videos about them and saw how the audience members could feel deeply moved when they watched their favorite musician perform. She believed this was what happening around her now.

The women, young or old, almost all looked charmed, some with tears streaming down their cheeks.

"He has a great voice," said Emma.

Therius narrowed his eyes dangerously. He never cared about the festival before. He would usually spend Three Moon Fire nights alone at his favorite place. It was the Ministry of Arts and Culture responsible for holding festivals like this and managing the performances.

If he had known Aeron would perform tonight, he would have prevented the ministry from inviting the man. Therius had no idea that his schoolmate was now a famous singer.

He immediately signaled for Avato to look at him. As soon as he got his assistant's attention, Therius immediately gave his orders by telemancy. Avato was the only one in his staff who knew of this secret. He was Therius' right hand.

'Tell the Minister of Arts and Culture. Aeron is BANNED from any festival in the capital. If the minister disobeys my order, I will fire him."

Back there, hidden among the festival-goers, Therius saw Avato nod in understanding.

Therius couldn't allow Aeron to appear anywhere near the palace. What if Emma became his fan like so many other women in Akkadia? Therius couldn't allow it.

"Great? He sounds like a goat," Therius said to Emma, ​​rolling his eyes. "He was a famous womanizer at our school. All the girls said he had a good voice because his face was handsome. I don't think his voice is any good."

Xion burst into laughter at the obvious contempt in his friend's voice, while Emma frowned in surprise. She did not expect that Therius who looked so perfect, was an art illiterate. He really couldn't tell which voice is good and which one sounds like a goat.

At first, she wanted to scold Therius, who had agreed to marry Yldwyn before his grandfather, the king, thereby making Queen Ygrit get what she wanted. However, her attention was distracted by the presence of Aeron on the stage as the man immediately wowed everyone in the plaza.

The young man had now finished his first song and then raised his hand to greet everyone. The audience immediately became rowdy.

"I love you all!!" exclaimed the young man, smiling broadly. He raised his hand, and soon tens of thousands of flower petals fell from the sky, like rain.

The atmosphere immediately became very romantic. The three moons in the night sky, Aeron's voice who started singing a love song, and the rain of flower petals instantly changed the mood. Even the saddest person in the world couldn't help but feel joy.

Emma raised her right hand and opened her palm, facing up. Several flower petals perched on her hand and slowly disappeared. Thus, even though tens of thousands of flower petals continued to fall from the sky, the people were not buried in flowers. They also did not litter the plaza.

"It is ... so beautiful," whispered Emma. After all, she was just a normal woman who loved beauty. And the atmosphere in the square tonight was indeed magical.
