(A/N: The song i used for today is KINGS sung by ANGELA. Please check her out ! She's one of my favorite artist/singer !)

Leo sat, watching the performers sing. Without him realizing, it's almost ending. His eye twitched.

"Where's your friend, Leo?"

Reo asked, he frowned a little. "Didn't he promised you?"

But Leo kept holding on to the promise and sighed. "It's not the last one. Maybe he's the next one."

"But after this, there will be no more you know?" Reo raised an eyebrow.

"I understand."

Came the last performance. it was quiet until the audiences heard someone's footsteps.

What appeared is a beautiful young man with brown hair. He wore a white earring and the smile plastered on his face captivated the audiences.

Leo's eyes widened. He recognized the young man ! More so because of his white earring.

Reo took a glimpse of El's white earring and stared at Leo's black earring.

"Oh.."

Then the music started.

Worries slowly come and kiss—

Tell me, what's your name?

Leo's eyes widened. His friend's voice sounds like it's inviting him to come closer. It's...attracting him. It's pulling him in.

He cursed inside his heart as he clenched his fist. Eyes narrowing at the figure performing on stage that is Elijah.

When we became attracted to each other again

I grew to despise you by comparing us

No matter how many times night returns

If what I'm missing somewhere in the total darkness is a piece of myself

I'll search and kiss and destroy

Big bang, a barbaric passion, a calm clash—

Will you not forgive me until you see blood?

Big bang, I want to confirm it, I want to be connected with you,

but am I actually scared?

I firmly brandish an imperfect love

I want to understand you, yet I'm a narrow-minded fool who can't

May the members gathered in conflicting justice

draw up next to a moment of peace

( う-´)づ

As El finished singing, he felt that the hall is too silent. But soon he heard a clapping. He opened his eyes to see who's clapping. Is his performance bad ?

What he found was too shocking. He sighed before smiling at the audience. He found himself lost in Leo's violet eyes. He noticed a hint of yellow on it and wondered, since when ?

Oh, he has that since a year ago.

Once the crowd noticed their Crown Prince clapping, they followed suit. They're just shocked. Too shocked at this young man's voice !

No, it's not bad. It's the opposite actually. They wanted more. They didn't expect his voice to be so, seductive ?

But how ?!

El bowed down at the audiences. He walked out of the stage before the crowd in front of him could ask for am encore.

"Ahh ! Where's the young man ! We want more !" One of the nobles screamed. They demand another show !

Eliza who heard them felt like a large light bulb has been dropped on top of her head from the ceiling.

She walked up to El who's drinking his water.

"Hey" she whispered.

El raised an eyebrow. "Yes..?"

"Are you interested in performing for Entertainer's Garden with Lily and other performers?" She asked.

"When is it ?" El pursed his lips. He looked at her with uncertainty in his eyes.

"Well.." Eliza backed up a bit. She fiddled with her fingers. "2 weeks from now... With my friends in Cornucopia Hall."

"What about Yuria and Anrick?"

Eliza grinned sheepishly. "They are off to Phane Kingdom. I assigned them for a show in one of the largest hall with one of my friends."

"This friends of yours..?"

Eliza blinked. "Oh right ! Nathan Elson and Maria Watson ! They are one of the top performers you see ?"

"Ahh, the famous Jack-of-All-Trades duo. But, why us, newbies ? Shouldn't it be you?" El went to sit on a chair nearby, downing his cup of water.

"I will be performing ! It's going to be an experience working with those two! You—"

"El ! You have a guest !"

El turned his attention towards the shout. He saw the second prince outside of his tent.

"I'll think about it." He turned to Eliza and patted her arm. He stood up to see what the Second Prince wants.

"G-good !" Eliza shouted.

Once he's outside of the tent, he quickly guided the Second Prince to a more remote area.

"Your Highness, You are searching for me ?" El bowed to Reo.

"Raise your head. My brother—Leophylis is searching for you"

Reo pointed behind El. "Now, i must take my leave. Also, i'm surprised you knew me."

El didn't know how to respond to that as someone pulled him in their embrace.

"Elijah."

El's eyes widened. He looked up just to find Leo's face inches away from him. Leo smirked, his eyes narrowing at El.

"I hope you didn't forget me."

El was shocked, how come the prince changed this much ?! Did he train in hell ? Is Ivan Aliga a demon spawn ?!

"Y-yeah." El then regained his composure after a few seconds. "Are you alright with hugging me in public?"

Leo chuckled. "I used illusions so nobody can see their Crown Prince hugging a stranger"

El's eyes held confusion in them. "But, how can i see you as you are ?"

"Because i allowed you."

El removed himself from Leo's embrace. He studied the man before him. His hair is on the process to gray. El smiled. He thought that Leo would be too busy to actually remember him.

"My friend. How are you doing?" Leo asked.

"I'm great. You?"

Leo sweatdropped. "Not really.." Seeing the confusion once again in El's eyes he coughed. "My teacher's a devil spawn—ah ! Don't tell him okay?"

El laughed warmly. "I won't, i won't" he looked around, seeing the food stalls and other goods. El grabbed Leo's hand and smiled wryly. "Would you accompany this lowly commoner on a walk?"

Leo stiffened. He was about to ask the same to El. Leo scoffed and pulled El along with him.

"Just say the word and i'll take you anywhere"

El laughed. "To the spaghetti stall!"

( う-´)づ

Meanwhile a certain woman was hiding behind the trees. Staring with malicious eyes at a certain performer.

"Because of you, because of you, because of you i didn't get in... BECAUSE OF A COMMONER!"

Her eyes darkened. Even though she's a beautiful woman when she smiles, but right now her face could be described as 'unsightly'.

Tick mark and scowl decorated her beautiful face as her blue eyes darkened. She stomped her way out of her hiding place while following the both of them secretly.

Just wait, you and your shitty backer will go

She stomped her way through the crowds, not noticing a braided man looking at her with a mischievous glint on his violet eyes.

He smirked. "Someone's impatient~"

"Here you go, mister !"

A middle aged man gave a box of what it seems to be potato wedges with the name 'System Happy' written on it.

"Hm~ Thank you." System Happy closed his eyes again and smiled at the man before him. He gave the man 2 silver.

"Ah ! Isn't this too much, Mr. System ?!" The man panicked. He gave System Happy back a silver.

"It's okay, keep it. I'm in a good mood today~"

The man thanked System Happy a thousand times while System Happy waved at the man.

System Happy stumbled upon one Prince. Reonyta Lydia while walking around.

"Oh~ Your Highness ! Where's your guards?"

Reo, shocked, couldn't say anything. He then realized one thing. "Teacher, hide me !"

"Hm?" Before System Happy can respond, Reo hid behind his tall body.

A pair of guards came running to him, asking where Prince Reo was.

"Oh, i didn't see him. Also, a guard should always keep watch of their charge ! He's a prince you know ? What if he's kidnapped by a handsome assassin and didn't want to come home ?" System Happy frowned at them. His tone is like a mother scolding her naughty son.

"We're sorry ! We'll search again !"

System Happy huffed. "Fool. They can't even see him behind me..." When he turned around, Reo is gone. System Happy's eyebrow twitched.

Reo didn't even say a thank you !

Oh, next time's lesson will be etiquette.

System Happy grinned evilly, resuming his walk.
