章 18: Symphonia Festive

Music plays throughout the capital city, children running around laughing and all the store owners opens up their store getting ready for the lively night of the year.

It's finally the day of Symphonia celebration.

Celestia dressed up in a simple dress braid her hair into a halo as she let's the other half of her hair fall down her back like a waterfall. Lucy helps place a few flower pieces into her hair, and apply simple make up.

"Master you look so beautiful."

"Young Miss, you'll be the most beautiful out there tonight!"

"Ahh, I don't think Master and the young masters will allow you to go out and play tonight."

Celestia looks at herself in the mirror and laughs at her maids compliments.

"You girls always do a wonderful job, who's fault is it that always makes me beautiful."

The maids giggles.

Celestia stood up as she walks out her room, heading out the estate, as she got closer to the main entrance she can hear her brothers talking to someone.

"As I already said Tia will be with us tonight why don't you go back home."

Celestia doesn't need to guess who her brothers are talking to, as there is only one person that her brothers will treat rudely to. Celestia looks up as her eyes meets with a pair of ruby orbs. Celestia heart skips a beat as she looks away slightly.

Cepheus couldn't take his eyes away from Celestia as he saw her walking towards them. Even though she wore a very simple outfit she looks like a Angel that fell down to the mortal world.

"Tia you look beautiful as always."

Celestia giggles as her brothers compliments her.

"Brother you look handsome too"

Celestia looks at Cepheus and smiles at him brightly.

"Good day, sir Cepheus."

Ever since Cepheus left to the Academy their relationship became estrange, Celestia and Cepheus stops addressing each other by their childhood names. Celestia and Cepheus didn't know how that happen it started since Celestia came back from the white tower.

The family members of her family saw the odd behaviour that Celestia treats Cepheus however they never question her. Cepheus however felt it strange it was as if most of her memories of disappear ever since she left the Tower.

"Lady Celestia, you look beautiful as ever."

Cepheus walks up to Celestia as he held her hand placing a kiss at the back. Cepheus squeeze her hand slightly reluctant to let her hand go.

Every time Celestia sees Cepheus she always feels like something is missing from her memories however she can't place her hand on it.

"Tia let's go."

Celestia look at her brothers, at the same time Cepheus let's her hand go.

Everyone sat in the carriage as it flew in the air heading towards the busy town. Celestia eyes brighten as she looks outside looking at the busy festive streets.

"We're here, Alvin said they are at the fou fountain waiting for us."

Celestia was about to get out by herself however she saw Cepheus hand waiting for her to take. Celestia naturally took his hand as she align out of the carriage.

"Thank you, Cepheus."

Celestia tries to let go of his hand however Cepheus held it tightly. Celestia looks up at him with questioning eyes. Cepheus smiles lightly as he finds her expression adorable.

"Make sure you hold my hand tightly or you might get lost."

Celestia looks at the crowded street, and found that her brothers stood in front of her like a protected wall.

"I think I'll be fine with my brothers here."

Cepheus raise a brow, as he looks at her brothers.

"Yes with Luciel and Charlie however with the twins not so much look at them their eyes are wondering around like little children. Luciel will most likely need to go back soon and Charlie, he will most likely need to follow to help out."

Celestia wanted to argue back however, soon she will realise Cepheus is correct. She saw her friends standing in front of the fountain calling out to her. She turns towards them and wave back.

"Tia you're finally here."

"Tia you look so beautiful!"

"Thank you, you look beautiful too, I love that clip is it new."

"Yes my brother got it from me from the south."

Celestia looks at Layla older brother Keane. He is very tall, tan skin tone, with a sharp jawline, he has deep blue eyes like Sapphire. A perfect description of him is the silent knight.

Celestia looks at Keane and Alvin, as she nods her head towards them. Layla grabs her arm and drags her towards a store looking at the jewelleries getting sold.

"This is pretty look at this bracelet!"

Cassandra held the pink bracelet in her hand lifting it up towards the girls. Celestia looks at the bracelet as she smiles at her.

"This bracelet will suit you're little sister. You can pair it with this lilac bracelet."

Celestia puts the lilac bracelet on Cassandra wrist. Cassandra laughs as she hugs Celestia tightly.

"I know I can rely on you, Tia you have the best taste!"

The girls continues playing around as the boys follows behind like knights, until evening. It was sunset and all the townspeople started to light up their lamp and light up their luminous stones. On the pebble pathways the luminous stones started to light up lighting up the pathway to all the pedestrian guiding them during the night.

"It's almost time."

Cepheus looks at Celestia confused.

"What do you mean?"

Celestia looks at Cepheus surprise as she laughs awkwardly.

"Nothing it's just that I need to do something hang on."

Celestia saw that Keane bid the group farewell as he needed to go and guard the area as its almost his shift. Celestia went and stood next to Layla, as she whispers into her ear making her laugh.

"Tia I'm so upset, brother promise me that he will spend time with me today but he had to cover someone's shift."

"Who cares we'll have all the fun tonight and show it off to your brother later."

Stephanie says as she drag the girls towards the loud music in the crowd and dances with the townspeople. Celestia follows behind them, as she tries to find the Heroine in the crowd.

It was said she wore a villagers clothing with two braids with two small sunflowers in her hair. Celestia looks at the crowd and realise many townspeople have sunflowers in their hair and wore similar clothes. Celestia lips twitch.

"Whats wrong, keep looking like that you'll create wrinkles."

Cepheus tease as he points at Celestia forehead. Celestia looks up and stares at his ruby eyes.

"It's... nothing. I just feel that everyone is dress similar today. I was just thinking if I wore similar clothes like them will you be able to find me in the crowd."

Celestia looks at the outfits everyone wore it was the same plain dress with same sunflowers in their hair and the men were dress the same. The odd thing is Celestia group are dress different, which she could tell them apart.

Cepheus looks at everyone and realise that everyone was dress the same however they are a little different from each other too.

"You're right however it's different, look, that girl her flower is slightly lower than the girl over there. That man shoes are little darker than the man next to him. "

Celestia looks and realise those small details, if Cepheus didn't point it out she wouldn't have known. Celestia looks at Cepheus surprise.

"Cepheus your eyes to details are amazing, if I didn't know you are the son of the Duke I would've hired you as my stylist."

Cepheus heart skip a beat as he looks away.

"You can still come to me if you need to help with your projects."

"Haha, I'll definitely take up on that offer, don't use an excuse to get out of it when I do come and ask for help."

"I'm a man of my words, I promise I won't."

Cepheus smiles as he moves Celestia's hair away from her face. Celestia blushes a little as she looks away trying to hide her flustered face. However Cepheus saw her ears turning red.

"About your second concern I want to let you know, if you wore the same outfit as them I'll always be able to find you."

Celestia turn more red, ignoring him, however her heart says otherwise. Cepheus smirks as if he won the lottery.

Truly SHAMELESS!

Celestia saw something that caught her eyes, as she looks at a girl walk past her in the crowd what caught her eyes is the crystal necklace on her neck. She recognise that necklace as its a necklace that the Heroine has always worn since the beginning of the game.

"That person, she's the Heroine."

Cepheus turns to Celestia and looks at the person she is looking at however he doesn't recgonise her.

"Do you know her?"

Celestia didn't answer Cepheus as she rushes into the crowd. Cepheus panics as he follows her.

"Hey Cepheus where are you going where's my sister."

Cepheus ignores Lucas, as he also rushes into the crowd and chases after Celestia.

"Hey Cepheus!" Elliot yells in the crowd however he lost the both of them.

The group was on longer in sight as Cepheus tries and find Celestia.

"Soul quick follow use your magic and tail Star!"

Soul flew out into the sky and use his magic to tail her, suddenly Cepheus sees black glow float in front of him guiding him towards Celestia. Celestia on the other hand slowly tails behind the Heroine not leaving her sight away from her.
