2024-10-29 19:42:56"Beautiful..."
He let out unconsciously.
Long smooth black hair and the most beautiful eyes he ever saw. Shining white which contrasted with her black hair. Furthermore, she was standing just behind the star cluster.
It made her figure even more fantastic.
"Beautiful...?"
Evelyn tilted her head, which was very cute.
Orion averted his gaze and replied.
"I-I mean you are beautiful..."
Orion trailed off in the end. He was very nervous.
"You said I'm beautiful but you are averting your eyes."
Evelyn said before putting her face in front of Orion.
She was looking at him curiously.
Orion was stunned and stepped back.
"I-I'm sorry!"
"Why are you sorry ?"
"T-That's..."
'What is this conversation?!'
"Are you sad ?"
Evelyn suddenly asked.
"...!"
Orion looked at her. Her expression was as stoic as ever but her white eyes were peering into him.
"Yes..."
Orion admitted and stood up.
"Because of the Solaria princess ?"
Evelyn asked with a hint of interest in her expression.
"I-I'm sure she had a reason."
Orion replied with a confident voice.
He had known her for a full month, so he was sure, or at least he wanted to be sure.
"You are lying."
"Eh ?"
"You are not confident in your words."
Evelyn said in a carefree tone.
"That's..."
Orion looked at Evelyn and found her very different from the other girls he saw.
She seemed to be always absent-minded and carefree but somehow had sharp senses. Strange combination.
"W-Why are you here, Princess Evelyn ?"
Orion shifted the topic to her.
"Why are you changing the subject ?"
"..."
"I'm here because I wanted to know if you were sad."
"For that?!"
Orion was dumbfounded because she was probably telling the truth!
"I-I'm sorry...I was just surprised by your reason."
He quickly apologized, feeling bad.
Evelyn looked at him for a few seconds, then spoke.
"My parents also treated me like Princess Liana treated you."
"Eh?"
"When they said that Melissa should have gotten my eyes, I felt very painful there."
Evelyn said, pointing to her chest behind the beautiful purple gown.
"Pr-incess Evelyn..."
Orion was shocked by the revelation and she was saying this with an expressionless face.
"The previous week, they said that they would take my eyes to transplant them to my sister if I didn't awaken..."
"W-wait! Princess E-Evelyn, why are you telling me this...?"
Orion was shocked that such parents could even exist. He thought now that he was very lucky on his own. But he couldn't understand why she was telling him this.
"Say Orion. Am I feeling sad ?"
Evelyn asked, still without expression.
Orion was speechless but replied to her.
"Y-yes I think you are sad..."
"Why...?"
"Because, like me with Princess Liana, you don't want your parents to avoid you, I-I think..."
"I don't want my parents to avoid me ?"
Evelyn cocked her head to the side.
"Th-That's my opinion..."
Orion added hurriedly.
"Do you have parents, Orion ?"
Orion felt the conversation was going really fast but replied with a sad smile.
"Yes I had but not anymore."
Evelyn understood what he meant and asked another question.
"Did they avoid you or treat you coldly ?"
"Princess..."
"Hm ?"
Seeing her carefree expression again, he sighed.
"No. I was happy with them. M-My parents were really gen-gentle, they would hug me and reassure me everyday even though I was sick..."
Orion's voice got hoarse as he remembered his family.
"Were you happy with just that ?"
Evelyn's calm voice rang out.
"Y-Yeah I was happy with just that...sob*"
Orion replied hoarsely.
Tears streamed down slowly from his face.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Orion felt something soft hugging him from the front.
"Pr-princess?!"
Orion was dumbfounded as Evelyn hugged him suddenly.
"I also want to feel happy."
"H-Huh ?"
"My parents are still here but never hugged me. It has always been my brother and sister."
Evelyn was slightly shorter than Orion, so she looked up, but this time there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
"I-I..."
Orion's emotions were in disarray as nobody had ever hugged him like this before his parents. Their cold bodies heated up upon close contact.
Evelyn hugged him tightly to get more of this new feeling, which was not bad.
"It feels very good. Your parents did that every day ?"
"Y-yes...sniff...sniff"
Orion replied, crying profusely.
The sad dream, the cold behavior of Liana and now remembering about his parents. It was too much for him.
He didn't know what the true cause was, but anyway, he cried and unconsciously, his arms wrapped around Evelyn's body.
Orion's tears fell on Evelyn's face and hair but she didn't care. She was just innocently hugging Orion to feel 'happy'.
Evelyn felt very warm, she didn't know if she felt happy or not, but she regretted it.
She regretted that she hadn't done something so pleasant before.
Her twin brother and younger sister didn't treat her harshly but she spoke to them properly just a year ago.
Yes, her parents cut off purposefully any contact between her and her other two siblings.
Evelyn felt jealous of her siblings but she didn't know that. Since she felt sad being with them, she didn't hang around them even after they met.
"...!"
Suddenly, Evelyn felt her body hugged back by Orion. Looking up at him, she saw him still with tears flowing down from his face but his eyes were closed.

"Hm ?"Orion let out a confused voice."What is it ?"Melissa asked, seeing Orion glancing around."A-Ah no, it smells like mint around me so I wondered what it was...""It's me, I'm using a mint perfume so when I hugged you, it permeated on you."Evelyn gave a perfect answer to Orion."I-I see no wonder."Orion replied, he didn't sense the fragrance because he was crying, but now he couldn't help but find the smell very good.Melissa got dizzy, she was reaching her limits."We'll go in now, so please refrain from talking about what happened or doing anything suspicious."Bryan didn't want to hear them flirting anymore, so he spoke, grabbing the handle of the glass doors.""Yes.""Both replied at the same time, but Bryan got more worried.Clank!Bryan entered and the others followed."Oh they are here !"A voice rang out, attracting all the gaze.Bryan and Melissa were in the front while Orion and Evelyn were behind them."Huh ?

She never talked to a boy for more than a few minutes except me or Albert. But she suddenly became a close friend of Orion.""It must be because Orion is very different from the other men."Margreth said after having observed Orion for a month from afar.She would never let an ill-intentioned man near her daughter after all.For her, Orion wouldn't even harm a fly and was too innocent to even think about something bad. He was attracted by Liana's beauty but he never showed any ill intentions towards her. Otherwise, neither her or Helio would have let Orion near Liana."No Margreth, there is something more to him. We think that the heroes turn around the strongest ones, but it's quite the contrary."He shook his head. Then he looked again at the group of four.They were currently eatin

"Can't believe the princess could do that to Orion..."Daisy said in a surprised tone."Yeah...he didn't do anything wrong to deserve that."Elena replied with a sad face.She was happy for Orion to have found someone like Liana, but now she just felt angry. She didn't want to know how he felt when she ignored him.She didn't really know Orion, but from her observation, in the last years he was someone very gentle. She knew she was acting strangely by helping him a few times before like Aura, but somehow she couldn't leave him completely alone.Beeeeep!"Oh!"Elena was surprised by the sudden sound."It's time to dance, Lena !"Daisy said enthusiastically."I-I will refrain, it's not obligatory."Elena refused, shaking her head."Come one!

In Nychterin
The Nychterin Empire, once overshadowed by hardship, had transformed into a beacon of power and resilience on the Dreamland continent. This remarkable evolution was a stark contrast to its past, a past marred by the scars of a war that had ravaged the nation hundreds of years earlier. During those tumultuous times, the Nychterin Empire had borne the brunt of the conflict, losing countless knights to the enemy's clutches.The aftermath was even grimmer, marked by a scarcity of labor and, more poignantly, a pervasive sense of desolation that had settled over the populace. Widows mourned, children became orphans, and the Empire seemed to teeter on the precipice of despair. Yet, amid this darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged.The Solaria Empire, a benevolent force, extended a compassionate hand to their beleaguered neighbors. Without seeking recompense, they aided in the Empire's reconstruction and dispatched healers to tend to the wounded souls. Although the specter of gloom lingered, the

Departing To Nychterin
“You-You want to take part in the tournament?”Selena stammered, speechless at Aita’s demand.“Yeah.”Aita nodded casually.“Why, suddenly? You told me yesterday you were not interested?”Selena tried her best to keep her calm.“I want the reward.”“!”Shock filled Selena’s face. Did he want the reward? So Princess Evelyn? She couldn’t believe it.“Wh-Why? You already have me…”Selena started to doubt her own worth now. She didn’t want to brag about it, but she considered herself not less beautiful than Evelyn Nychterin. Or maybe Aita liked the innocent-type more?“What?”Aita, as dense as ever, wondered what the hell she was speaking about. He only wanted the second reward, the other part of his spear after all.“Can I use you in need every day? Would you be with me any time?”Aita said in a mocking tone. She wasn’t a weapon after all.“Idiot!”-Thud!Selena threw the cup of coffee in Aita’s face and ran away with a tomato-red face.***“Princess.”“...”“Princess?”“Ah!”Selena brok

“Ahhhh…He’s taking his time.” Daisy yawned as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. More than an hour had passed and Aita still hadn’t come out. She was on the verge of sleeping on the floor but held back. She could wait for Aita. Aita had still saved her best friend and her. “What the hell is he doing?!” Anna, still hidden in the corner, was reaching the limits of her patience. “Anna, seriously, we should go…I really want to sleep…” Isabel leaned on the wall and was on the verge of falling asleep like that. “No! Wait a little mor-” “Daisy?” “““!””” “Le-Lena?” Daisy was surprised to see Elena here. She was sure Elena would play or speak with Aura for a few more hours at least… “What are you doing outside and you will catch a cold like that.” Elena sighed, seeing Daisy standing there in a negligee. Elena was also wearing a blue negligee but she was wearing a jacket on it. “A-Ah, well…” Daisy scratched her head, not knowing what to do. Aita was still inside the room after all. Still,

Anna Is Overprotective
Late at night, Aita left his room. He wandered in the corridor of the palace aimlessly. The guards roaming around would bow to him upon seeing him, otherwise they would let him. They probably thought he wanted to take a breath of fresh air.After an hour or so, he started to walk toward the section reserved for the girls in his class. Like Daisy had promised, she would leave him in their room. Waiting for the right time, he went to the ladies' side. He made sure to erase any sound of his steps with his wind. He didn’t want to cause another uproar and be labeled with another cringe nickname. He already wanted to erase his memories just thinking about what he was doing. Infiltrating the ladies’ dormitory at night? Anyone would label him as human trash.Reaching the room of Daisy and Elena, Aita knocked on the door. He was having a hard time keeping his face from distorting. All his actions seemed like he was going to sleep with a woman late at night…“Look, Isabel, I knew it!”At the en

Enticing Reward
“You had a tough day, Aita.”Selena said with a glare.They went back to the palace and the first person who welcomed Aita was Selena. She had an exhausted complexion but she still looked like a perfect princess. Her sapphire eyes were staring angrily at Aita and mostly the knights of Lunarstella. She told them to look after Aita so he wouldn’t do anything, threatening their truce, but they couldn’t do anything. They all averted their faces in shame. They couldn’t tell that Aita at that time was too scary to speak to. More than that, they were also angry at Rex and the others for what they had done.“...”Aita stared at Selena. Her face overlapped with the mature Selena of the recording. Her tears, her sad expression, her helplessness, everything overlapped with the current Selena. He couldn’t understand why that woman he didn’t know at all was making his emotions stir that much. He cared for Selena Luna Lunarstella, but not her great-great-aunt.“Aita?”Selena called out to Aita sinc

Getting Out Of The Rift
“What happened…”Aura asked. Behind her were all her classmates, the knights of Solaria and Lunarstella. They were silently waiting for two people to answer. The two people were, of course, Aita and Elena who, after two days, finally reached the entrance of the rift. Austin, Jake, Jaxon and Daisy had already arrived as well the day before, so everyone was there. Well, everyone except Gaut and Rex, who were killed by Aita. By the way, Bein was sitting with a blank expression in a corner ignoring them. Anyway, most of the stares were gathered on two people. Aita and Elena. Aita had his black mask off but he still had his skin mask, which didn’t please him in the slightest as he felt uncomfortable with it, so his current annoyed expression. Right behind, strangely close to him, was Elena, who seemed to be happy to finally reunite with her classmates.“Nothing.”Aita replied clearly, showing that he was annoyed at her question, and walked ahead. “Hmpf!”Aura harrumphed and went to Elena

“...”“...”Silence reigned in the empty hall. The runes weren’t glowing anymore. Aita and Elena were not speaking. Elena had a pained expression, a little more and she’d have cried. Remembering Selena’s face and her words, she felt despondent for her. She glanced at Aita. He was playing with a little stone. It was the White Crystal that was inside the coffin with the book. The book disappeared as soon as the recording was over. As for the skeleton, Aita had put Selena’s remains inside his space ring. Elena looked at the stone with a complicated expression. She needed four of them to go back on Earth. No. She needed five of them. Four to destroy the space rift, once on the other side, she needed another one to finally reach Earth. In any case, the one in Aita’s hand didn’t belong to her, in the first place, so right now she had nothing.-Gurgleeeee“...”“...”Elena buried her face in her knees, not daring to look at Aita’s current expression.

“I am going with the name of Selena Mona Lunarstella. The First Princess of the Great Lunarstella Empire.” Her domineering voice echoed. Looking at her, Aita started to understand why she was hailed as a heroine back then and even now. He could understand how she alone was able to defend Lunarstella from enemies everywhere. She really had the aura of a leader. “I do not know who you are, but I know that you are here with the help of my blood. How many years had gone since the war ? I just hold the hope that my Empire is still there flourishing like it should…” She said in a nostalgic tone. “You, who discovered my tomb. I am going to reveal what I discovered in the hope that you are my blood, or at least someone of my Empire. I gave my spear to my brother so he could give it to his children. I engraved runes on my spear that will serve as key to entering this place when the time will come. I transmitted this emplacement to my brother before leaving the Empire forever.” Selena spoke

“I did nothing! B-Believe me, please!”Elena’s quivering voice kept ringing in the hall. She was speaking to Aita, who was standing, looking at his surroundings. He didn’t seem to care about Elena’s words. Stretching his limbs for a minute, he removed his shirt.“Ah! W-What are you doing, Lord Aita?!”Elena turned her head away with a flushed face.Aita ignored her and took out a new white shirt and put in on while making sure to hide his pendant so Elena wouldn’t see it. He glanced at the ground and saw the silver spear. Stooping down, he took the spear. As usual, it looked like a newly crafted spear as its silver color shone with purity. Swinging the spear a few times, he turned around. Elena was looking at him nervously.“How long have I been out?”He asked. Vivid memories of Artemis were still present in his mind. Memories he shouldn’t have as he wasn’t even born at that moment. Why had he the memories of other people? Anyway, it felt like years had passed, so he wanted to know.
