274 School Mates 2

When the two of them arrived at the front of the elevator, Emma and Ulla met two girls waiting for the elevator to go down too. 

With her friendly nature, Ulla immediately greeted the two girls. She chirped, "Hello, good day. My name is Ulla, and this is Lee. You are new students too, right?"

Both of them nodded with a smile. However, when they saw Emma's face, the two girls immediately remembered that Emma was the girl who had caught Bastian's attention, the school president, this afternoon.

They seemed to be watching Emma closely. After confirming that the girl didn't look arrogant, the two of them smiled sweetly.

"Hello, my name is Miri, and this is Alta." They then reached out and asked to be acquainted. Ulla and Emma returned their handshakes.

"Hey ..aren't you the one who was visited by the school president?" asked Miri in amazement. "What is your relationship with him?"

DING

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and the four girls walked inside.

"School president?" Emma asked back with a shrug. "Why did you ask?"

Miri and Alta look at each other. "Didn't Bastian Moshe come to your seats?"

Emma shook her head casually. "Yeah, but he didn't come to me, but Ulla. Actually, Ulla is his cousin."

"Oh ..."

There was a sigh of relief from Miri and Alta, then both of them laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, so you are Bastian's cousin? It must be fun, huh, having a familial relationship with the coolest senior in the Academy," said Alta.

Ulla smiled broadly. She was so happy that she finally met girls who could appreciate her cousin's good looks and coolnes, unlike Emma. She puffed up her chest with pride towards Bastian.

She nodded excitedly. "Yes, that's right. Bastian is my cousin!"

Ah, Miri and Alta now believe that Bastian did not stop to see Emma, ​​but Ulla.

Their faces looked relieved, and Emma could immediately find that both girls were Bastian's fans. Come to think of it, they were right about Bastian. He did look cool for someone his age.

He had the charisma of a leader. His title as the school president made girls admire him, not to mention that he was a multiple-element mage. Mages who could control several elements were relatively rare in Akkadia. So, it's no wonder that many like him.

In her heart, Emma tried to imagine what life was like for her mother and father at school. Her father must be a popular student because he was very handsome and had a lovely personality. You could say her father was just like Bastian now. He was quiet, mature, and admirable.

Did her mother also discuss boys with her friends when she was in the academy? Did her mother talk to them about her father?

The thought brought a smile to Emma's face.

Father, Mother .. even though you are not there, but I saw your traces. I'm going to trace your footsteps and imagine you are with me, Emma thought. She was so happy to be where her parents were.

"We have arrived," said Alta in a happy voice. This girl was chubby, but her face was very beautiful, with blonde hair and a pair of round green eyes, like emeralds.

The three girls nodded and walked, following Alta to the banquet hall on the ground floor. They saw the hall was decorated with very nice ornamental plants.

When they entered through the door, the three girls suddenly let out a muffled shriek. Hundreds of red and blue flower petals flew down from the ceiling.

This reminded Emma of Aeron when the man was using herbomancy to entertain the female audience in his various shows. Instantly her lips smiled faintly. She raised her hand and received several flower petals, which disappeared as soon as they touched her hand.

"Gosh... this is wonderful," commented Miri, Alta, and Ulla.

"Where did this come from?" asked Ulla with an astonished look.

"These are created by a herbomancer," Emma commented. She walked into the hall. "I saw Aeron use this at his last show."

Instantly, she felt her arm gripped very hard. Emma, ​​who was shocked, immediately broke away from Ulla's grip. He looked at the girl in puzzlement.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you grabbing me?" she asked with a sharp gaze.

Ulla's face was filled with a longing. Her eyes were gleaming with tears. "Did you... did you see Aeron? THAT Aeron? Where? His last performance was at the king's palace. Not that one, right? So, where did you see him?"

"Oh ..." Emma just realized that Ulla was a big fan of Aeron. Gosh, apparently, even in Akkadia, they still had groupies, she thought.

Emma could not possibly reveal her secret by saying she watched Xion's performance at the palace. Therefore she simply shrugged and mentioned the Three Moon Fire Festival. "Six months ago he was performing at the Fire Moon Festival ... He created a rain of flower petals for half an hour straight."

"Ooohhhhhh ..... I really wanted to come to the show!! At that time I almost ran away from home so I could travel to Winstad just to watch him perform at the festival ..." Gradually, Ulla's eyes filled with tears.

Jeez ... this girl really is Aeron groupy, Emma thought.

"Where do you live?" asked Emma.

"I live in Beliz," Ulla replied sadly. "My parents didn't allow me to travel alone. Bastian was also busy so he couldn't take me ... huhuhuhu ... In this life, all I want is just want to meet Aeron in person ..."

"Beliz? Where is it? ? " asked Emma.

The three girls standing beside her looked at the girl in surprise.

"You don't know Beliz?" asked Ulla. She furrowed her brows and looked at Emma as if she was a creature from an alien planet.

Emma did not memorize the names of cities and provinces in Akkadia because there were too many. Ahh ... she should have pretended she knew Beliz.

Now these three girls would find out that she was not from Akkadian.

"Sorry, I lived abroad for a long time," said Emma. "I just got back a few months ago."

"But everyone knows Beliz. It is the most famous resort town in Akkadia," Miri commented in surprise. "All the best beaches are in Beliz."

Her words made Emma imagine Bali. Maybe that's Beliz in Akkadia. Ahh .. of course, people would be suspicious if she claimed not to know Beliz.

"So your parents didn't allow you to go to the capital? Too bad. The performance was so beautiful. Aeron even sang some of his most popular songs," said Emma, ​​changing the subject. "That's when he showered his audience with a thousans of flower petals."

"Ohhh ... it must be so romantic," said Ulla with longing eyes. "The Three Moon Fire Festival in the middle of the square with the sound of Aeron singing and a shower of flowers ... Ahhh .. you are so lucky. Was that time you were with your boyfriend?"

Emma nodded. She still clearly remembered the events of the night. It was there where Yldwyn, who was acting so shamelessly, went and kissed Therius. Ah, she also remembered that Aeron performed a song about the love story of Kaoshin and Arreya.

The incident occurred on the night before her planned wedding to Therius. However, before the wedding could take place, Emma was taken hostage by Queen Ygrit.

Ahhh ... it was all over, Emma comforted herself. She had to stop remembering it, because a few days after the incident, her mother died. It left a deep mark on her for losing her parents.

"You know, Aeron recently admitted that the love song he wrote, which tells the story of the princess and the farmer ... turns out to be a song about Princess Arreya and General Kaoshin Stardust," commented Alta suddenly. They had arrived at an empty table, and one by one, immediately took a seat.

"I heard that too. Aeron really admires Princess Arreya. That's why he wrote a song for her. It's just that he just changed the lyrics and now openly declared it was a song about her," Miri added.

"That's because previously, Princess Arreya and General Kaoshin were enemies of the state. Now, not anymore," said Ulla. "I read all the articles about the songs he wrote. Ohh .. that song is also my favorite one."

"After our king married Lady Emma, ​​her parents' reputation was restored. That's why Aeron dared to sing that song openly ..."
