Chương 4: Stellar Festival

In the big warm room with couches and coffee table was two couples who are the uncle and aunt of Celestia with their children sitting beside them. They all look up with a smile towards Celestia's family.

"You're finally here Ciel, what took you so long?"

A young man who looks identical with Marquess Septihanus, he has white-grey hair but golden eyes, he was Marquess younger twin. Astre Nicholas Septihanus, since he wasn't the heir to the household he became a high mage that works at the tower, next to Astre was his lovely wife Dianna Lea Micquaski (Me-kow-ski) Septihanus, she's from a count family Dianna has light blue hair and ocean blue eyes, porcelain skin, pink plump lips, she had a soft innocent features. She smiles softly towards Celestia family.

On the other side was their aunt Charmaine, she's the only daughter of the old master and madam of Septihanus. Charmaine Alanah Septihanus, she has platinum blonde hair with a little of ash grey from the centre of the roots and grey ash eyes.

Charmaine has long lashes, plump lips and porcelain skin, however, she has a seductive features compare to Dianna's innocent look. Charmaine husband Earl Harrison Gilbert Docvhison (Doc-V-son) has dark brown hair with black eyes, neat thick eyebrows, straight nose thin lips with chiseled features, sat elegantly sipping his tea.

"Big brother it's been a while, I heard Tia got sick over the winter break I hope she's doing well now" Charmaine said casually however sounded worried when she mentioned about Celestia.

Although Charmine has a seductive look her personality was the opposite, she was calm and quiet, being the youngest in the family she was doted on the most by her twin brothers and parents, giving her a more reserved personality. Old master put Celestia down so she could go and greet her aunts and uncles with her siblings.

"Happy Stellar Festival, may Goddess Stellar shine upon you till ten of thousand years." Celestia and her brothers greeted in unison.

The adults in the rooms smile and greeted Celestia's siblings. Her cousins got out of their seat and went to greet Celestia's parents next.

Her cousin from her uncle side had twins boys both blue hair like their mother with golden eyes like their father. they were handsome with cute button nose, long lashes and milky porcelain skin. The twins are 7 years old, the same age as Charlie. The older twin name is Vincent John Septihanus and the younger one is called Derek Scott Septihanus.

The twins are both loud but very talented. Next to the twins were a little boy age 4 and an older girl age 6, the boy has platinum blonde hair with a little of ash grey and black eyes, with beautiful features cute button nose thin lips and porcelain skin, and next to him was his older sister she has dark brown hair with blue eyes from her father side.

Their names were, Atticus Christian Docvhison and Matilda Sarah Docvhison. They are both very bright children and down to earth although they look quite reserved they have a gentle personality. Matilda looks towards Celestia and smiles at her, Celestia ran up to her only girl cousin and hug her. Matilda was like a big sister to her.

"Maddy, Happy Stellar Festival!" Celestia said as she hugs Matilda.

Matilda giggle and replies back "Happy Stellar Festival, Tia"

Celestia looks up and smiles brightly, sending a warm feeling towards everyone. Atticus pops from behind and smiles to Celestia.

"Happy Stellar Festival" he says gently.

Celestia let go and went to hug Atticus.

"Happy Stellar Festival Atty, you have grown taller." Celestia said

She measures their height since they are only a year apart Atticus and Celestia are very close. Atticus smiles when he heard that he has grown taller again although Celestia and Atticus are almost the same height he is still slightly taller than her.

"That's good, I am older than you so as a big brother I must be taller too," Atticus said proudly

Since he is the youngest boy out of all of the kids he felt like he didn't have a role to protect anyone so when Celestia was born he felt like an older brother and felt like he must take responsibility. Celestia laughs and nods her head.

"I'm in your care again this year, please take care of me," Celestia says as she held her dress doing a little cute curtsy.

"With pleasure Princess." Atticus response back with a gentleman bow.

They both giggle while everyone watches with a smile.

"Tia! Happy Stellar Festival!" Vincent and Derek said in unison with a bright smile their blue hair swayed like the waves and hugged Celestia.

"Happy Stellar Festival, Vin and Dede" Celestia muffled between the twins.

They let her go, after feeling a strong cold aura from Luciel, however, Tia didn't notice it at all. After that, they all sat down on the couches, as the adults catch up and gossip about anything that happens during the year.

"Tia you look different, haven't you been eating well," Charmaine asked in a soft gentle tone looking worried.

Celestia looks up and smiles brightly with her golden eyes that sparkle like a gem.

"Aunt Charmaine, I have been on a diet and is losing weight. I've decided that it's time for me to become more beautiful since I am a girl I need to slime down." Celestia answers as she drinks her warm milk.

Everyone lips twitch a little when they heard her answer.

"Well it seems you have matured a lot, I've also heard that you created some beauty products and you been designing your clothes," Charmaine said casually changing the subject.

Celestia nods her head.

"Yes I did, I've asked papa if he could sell it in the market. If I'm right the store should be open right after the Stellar Festival, please do participate the opening day, although I may not be there having you join will be enough." Celestia said sounding mature although she still sounds like a child Charmaine and the others understood what she's saying.

They all smile and agree that they will support her since she's the youngest the whole family spoils her and supports whatever decision she makes.

After the little catch up all the children move into another room while the adults stayed back. Celestia, her siblings and cousins went to start making their lanterns. Celestia went to find a seat and grab the white soft paper and started to paint on it, she added flowers, stars and little butterflies on it along the edge to the centre, after that she left it to dry. Celestia then grabs another paper this time it was a gold piece of paper with a red Tsubaki in the corner of the piece of paper. Celestia grabs a fountain pen and stares at the paper, she didn't know what to wish for.

should I wish to survive till my old age, wish for Cepheus to not kill me, or should I wish for my family successful business! Celestia was in deep thought that she didn't hear Atticus call out to her until he taps on her shoulder. Celestia turns her head to her right, she blinks her innocent golden eyes and she looks into his black ones.

"Sorry what did you say?" she asks, with a smile.

Atticus pout but repeats his question to her.

"I asked what you're going to wish for"

Celestia thought for a second and smiles at him mysteriously.

"That's a secret Atty if you want it to come true you can't tell it to anyone."

Atticus pouts cutely again but agrees with Celestia, as he went back to decorating his lantern, Celestia wrote her wish on the golden paper and stuck it on her lantern.

After another hour it was dinner time so the children walk to the dining hall, chatting and laughing. As they enter and settle down the food was served after eating they went outside to the garden and play until it got dark.

"Young misses and Young Masters it's time to light up your lanterns."

A maid reminded all the children, as the sun settled down and the moonshine softly in the dark sky.

"Ok!" Vincent and his brother responded,

"Thank you." Matilda answered politely.

The maid bow as she waited for all the children to gather and head to the center of the garden where the fountain was.

As soon as the children arrived, Celestia found her Lantern is with Lucy.

"Young miss please wait for a moment as I light it up for you." Lucy said with a soft smile.

"Ok thanks, Lucy." Celestia responded.

Lucy nods and ask another maid to hold onto the lantern as she uses a match to light up the lantern. Lucy then handed the lantern to Celestia while helping her to support it up.

"Stellar is here!"

Everyone looks up and gasp, watching the fist star shine brightly up in the sky.

"Miss you ready to let go?" Lucy ask with a bright smile.

Celestia giggle and smile brightly.

"Yes!"

Celestia lifts the lantern and let go.

She watches all the lanterns gently ascend to the night sky lighting brightly like stars.

All the lanterns blanket the capital and fief in the sky. It was as if it guided a path to the near future and answers everyone's wishes. After a long while when Celestia couldn't see her lanterns anymore, everyone headed back inside to go to sleep as it passed the children's bed time.

A young boy, watch the lanterns light up the sky near the lake up on a tall tree quietly. As it's already been an hour or two the lanterns slowly started to descend back to the ground. As he was watching the falling lantern there was one with decorated flowers stars and little butterflies heading towards him and landed on the branch next to him.

The little boy grab the lantern and stare at the decorated lantern in his hand he saw the golden paper with a red Tsubaki on it. on the piece of paper was Celestia's wish.

'Wish for everyone I love to live happily and healthy, I also wish for my fiance happiness too' -Celestia Aurora Septihanus' written on the golden paper.

The little boy look amused as he read the wish, his red eyes glint with amusement, and chuckles a little.

"What an interesting wish, instead of writing one wish you selfishly asked for two." He said to no one in particular.

Suddenly an eagle with a golden jewel necklace hanging on its chest with red rubies and a golden crown on its head with a teardrop ruby on the middle flew and landed on the boy's shoulder and nestle close to the boy. He looks at his familiar then back at the lantern.

"Soul you're back early, did you find anything intresting?" the little boy, asked softly.
