Her eyes widened in surprise by the fascinating fireworks that spark at the dark sky.

All colours merged into one making the shape of the flowers. The way they lighten up the dark sky warms her heart, showing that there's always something good will happen to matter how bad it is.

". . . It's beautiful." she exclaimed, immersed in her own thoughts while looking at the beautiful scenery infront of her, fireworks lighten up the small town near the temple.

Glenn turned his head towards her and chuckled. "That's great then!" he smiled sincerely, as if telling her that he should brought her sooner instead and that he's grateful that she saw the fireworks with him today.

"Also! Do you want to see the festival near up town!?" he asked with a wide grin as Viola think about the offer, but Glenn doesn't give her time to think as he grab her hand. "Let's go."

She look at her hand that he holds and blush a bit by the warm atmosphere around them. They just met for one day but somehow, it feels so nostalgic. It's the feeling where she feels like she met this person before but she doesn't remember.

Along the way, she truly enjoyed seeing the small festival where families enjoyed themselves with each other and it's really refreshing that she even thought of inviting her brothers and father to come there.

". . . Thank you, for bringing me here." she thanked him softly with a warm smile plastered on her face while looking at the bright town with loud voices.

"Well, you always liked festivals. So it's better to see it together!"

She look at him with wide eyes. It's like he's telling her that he knows her before she knows him.

". . . W-what are you-"

"It's better if you just forget what I said." he turned his head towards me and form a wide grin as he grab my hand. "Sometimes, ignorance is the best way for you. For Vio, this is our first meeting and our day spending time together. So don't mind me."

"But-"

"There are times when it can't be helped."

Hearing him say that made her feel guilty out of nowhere. While walking around the town, she tried her best and try to remember every moment when she's still a child.

But she can't find anything. She never met the Crown Prince before.

Shaking off the thoughts, she decided to think forward and focus on him.

"Glenn, why did you come to the temple?"

"Hm. . . well, I heard that Vio is going to visit the temple." he hesitantly answer while scratching his cheek nerveously and then he form an awkward smile.

". . . don't mind me, I'm just a weird stalker."

He exclaimed, still scratching his cheek as he turned his gaze to somewhere else, avoiding eyes contact.

Suddenly, he put both of his hand together in a begging manner. "Please tell your family that you'll be staying a little longer in the temple!" he said playfully and giving her a toothy smile much to her confusion.

She look at him with wide eyes. "Why is that?" she asked politely with a confused face while trying to understand his way of words.

"Of course I want the two of us to spend our times together!" he exclaimed with a loud tone along with his rough voice that sounds too honest.

"You," he pointed at her.

"Me," After that, he pointed at himself.

"Together." he form a circle with his index fingers.

She was taken aback by each words he exclaimed, still looking at him with wide eyes. ". . . But I have to go home, my brothers are coming."

He pouted a bit and sighed. "I guess just today then." he smiled sadly as he turned his head towards the dark sky.

"Glenn, you said you don't want to become the Crown Prince?"

"Huh? Yeah."

"Why?"

"It's a stupid reason actually. I just don't want to stay in a palace where most of the people are fake and scary."

With that, both of them chuckle.

"You know, my dream is to travel around the world. There are many exciting things out there compared what inside this Empire."

She's quite taken aback by his reason.

"But. . . what about this Empire."

He turned his head towards her from the dark sky and form a sheepish smile. "My lil brother can have it, I don't really care about this Empire."

She look at him with wide eyes. In truth, it will be really difficult if the crown prince have a younger brother because they can fight for the throne.

Usually, the heir to the throne won't give his throne easily to one of his siblings.

"What?"

"Like I said, I want my title goes to my little brother. I want to be a traveler, you know, adventurer." he laughed like it's a common thing to say while she's still taken aback by his statement and form an awkward laugh.

With that, she form a warm smile as she turned her head towards him. "That's a wonderful dream."

"Right!?"

"Vio." he turned his head towards her as he caressed her cheek softly.

"Vio, I loved you."

Her eyes went wide by his sudden confession.

"Confessing using the past tense. . . Why did he say that?" she asked to herself while looking at him with wide eyes.

His voice is filled with sadness and desperation as he look at her with his sad eyes. "So," he raise his hand to her head as he pat it and smiled warmly.

"Forget about me."

From that moment on, the world stopped in her eyes. Like she's being pulled inside a deep hole of emptiness as his figure is getting blurry, the memories in the past few days with someone she doesn't know,

"Who is it that was with me?"

Her eyes opened to be greeted by the familiar ceiling in her room. She get up, feeling rather weird with the conflicted feelings and yet. . .

Tears start to stream down her face unconsciously.

". . . Last night, I was watching the aurora. . . . alone?"

Remembering her memories back, It's like something or someone was never really there.

-

Heading back to the estate from school, Valerian thought that they will be greeted by Damon and Vio. But he was completely wrong after seeing Damon alone with the maids along with butlers.

"Where is Vio!???" Carlos asked with a loud tone with his rough voice, as he look around his surroundings with a worried but at the same time, curious expression.

". . . She went to the temple."

Carlos and Valerian's eyes widened in surprise by the news Damon informed.

"How can she visited the temple when her brothers going is on their summer vacation?" Valerian thought as sigh escaped his mouth.

"She will come back around. . . 3 days." Damon informed with his usual cold voice and stoic expression while looking at them.

"I guess it can't be helped. As long as Astor's there, I guess I don't have any problems." Valerian thought as he form a small smile. "Well then, I'm going to my room." he informed as the maids bowed and take their luggage out from the carriage while Carlos being loud as always.

"4 days!? That's too long! There's something I want to show Vio!"

Valerian just chuckle by his expression and words that left his mouth.

"Good day, father." Valerian greeted his father again as he walked inside the mansion followed by the others.

They never thought that a day after they arrived to the estate, a man and unfamiliar girl with the same violet eyes will come to the mansion.

While the man introduced the girl with the name,

Violette.
