Finding Stardust

"I don"t understand," Emma said. Haoran only smiled and pinched the girl"s nose.

"It"s okay if you don"t understand," he said. He took his cellphone from Emma"s hand and put it back in his pocket. "Don"t forget, this afternoon, we"ll go see Mr. Neville."

Emma nodded. She tried not to think about Haoran"s words, which she thought was unusual. The girl refocused on her lunch and, before long, she had finished the sandwich and fruits in her lunch bag.

After she finished eating, Emma laid down on the gra.s.s. Her stomach was too full to immediately do something seriously. She saw that many other students had also taken advantage of the soft, thick gra.s.s they sat on to lie down and relax.

"We have 15 minutes left, right?" she asked, turning to Haoran. The young man nodded. He still enjoyed his sandwich slowly. Emma took a deep breath and then pulled out the black sungla.s.ses from her s.h.i.+rt pocket and wore them.

This way, she could see the sky directly. The sun did not feel hot, but the glare still made Emma"s eyes uncomfortable. Her sungla.s.ses were not the polarized type. She didn"t think of buying more expensive but decent sungla.s.ses.

Suddenly, the corner of her eye caught a line of white clouds in the east, moving slowly toward their direction. Ah, if the clouds could get here faster, surely my problem would be sorted, she thought.

At this rate, the clouds would only get here in half an hour. Useless. We would be already inside the palace by then, the girl said to herself. She turned her face to the left and stared at the clouds. She casually raised her hand with the intention of "pulling" the clouds to move faster toward her.

"Ouch... My haaaat!!!" Bianca shrieked suddenly. The girl immediately stood up and chased her summer hat, which hovered lightly to the west. She managed to catch it in time before it plunged into the fountain.

Some leaves also appear to fly from east to west as the wind blew a little strongly. A minute later, the clouds that were to their east were now floating above the heads of the students. They were nicely blocking the blinding sun from Emma"s view.

"Wait a minute ... What? Did I just control the wind?" Emma asked herself. She took off her sungla.s.ses and sat up while looking up. The girl"s face looked astonished.

Earlier, she just idly "called" the clouds to approach her. She also did not understand why she did it, without thinking at all. At that time, she only felt that she didn"t like the glare and wanted to cover the sun temporarily.

Uff ... Emma, ​​how many times do you have to remind yourself. Don"t use your power casually. She scolded herself.

Her chest felt a little tight. Emma had to drink a lot of water from her bottle, then she felt a little relieved. She should have known that when she used her power, her energy would be drained, and she would feel tired.

Luckily she did not get injured and lose her memory like what happened two nights ago at the Eiffel Tower.

When she was drinking her water, suddenly, a flash of memories appeared before her.

Ah, that"s right... She just remembered that usually, after she used her power, some flash of memories would appear. She was getting her memory slowly this way.

She saw Arreya Stardust fetching water from a spring by cupping her hands and gave it to her husband, who was leaning on a large tree.

"Drink up ..." said the beautiful woman in a melodious voice. "I didn"t expect you would exert all your power to give life to this valley. Now you"re hurt."

Kaos.h.i.+n drank the water his wife gave him and closed his eyes. His face looked in pain, but as usual, he was always calm.

When he opened his eyes again, the man instead smiled and shook his head. "If I could do it many times, I would do it. I can"t bear to see that there are so many starving people in this area. You see how much they suffer ... You surely still remember the faces of those poor little children? Many of them are the same age as Emma, and they have never tasted proper food all their life ..."

"I do remember that.."

"This planet needed at least one hundred herbomancers to give life to all its arid regions," commented Kaos.h.i.+n.

Arreya chuckled when she heard that. "We don"t even have one hundred herbomancers in Akkadia. You are one of the strongest herbomancers I know. This planet is lucky you and I are stranded here ..."

"Why do you think the condition of this planet can be so severe? From the moon, we see there is a lot of water here, but it turns out that areas that really need water don"t actually have it," Kaos.h.i.+n murmured in puzzlement.

"Their sea water is salty. It"s not very useful for daily consumption and growing food. It"s their own fault, that they now have such severe global warming." Arreya shrugged. "Too bad..."

She then approached her husband and put her hand on his forehead with great affection. "Your temperature is really high ..."

Her voice sounded really worried.

Kaos.h.i.+n pulled his wife"s hand down from his forehead and squeezed it gently. "I am alright."

"Ugh ... you always say that even when you were heavily injured in a battle. I can never believe your words if you say you"re okay," Arreya"s face looked sad. "If only I had the ability to heal, it would be better. There is no point in having five types of power at once if there is nothing you can use to cure the person you love."

Kaos.h.i.+n smiled at his wife"s complaint. "Leon told me many times that he was jealous of Princess Arreya"s amazing powers. He said that he was willing to exchange his healing ability with yours any day. So, the gra.s.s is always greener on the other side."

Arreya looked at her husband with a pair of twitched eyebrows. Finally, she could only purse her lips and murmured. "Jeez, Leon ..."

"You still don"t like him," commented Kaos.h.i.+n.

"I know he"s your best friend ... but I can"t force myself to like him because of what happened at that time," said Arreya.

"He has apologized," said Kaos.h.i.+n patiently.

"And I"ve forgiven him. But I can"t forget what he did."

"All right, it"s fine. After all, we won"t ever see him again. There"s no need to talk about Leon or anyone from Akkadia," Kaos.h.i.+n said gently.

Arreya nodded and finally smiled. She agreed with her husband not to talk about the past anymore. Now they were in a new place and had their own lives. No one else was important to her except her husband and daughter.

Little Emma really liked seeing the interaction of her father and mother. The little girl rested her head on her mother"s lap while looking at her father, whose eyes were still closed.

"Mother ... if Father could grow plants to feed so many starving people in this valley, why didn"t he do it for all the arid regions that we pa.s.sed?" the little girl asked suddenly.

Arreya looked at her daughter"s face and smiled slightly. "You can"t, Emma. Your father could die if he did that. We are not G.o.ds who have unlimited power. Every energy we spend will drain our soul. Your father has such a kind heart. He can"t bear to see the villagers who helped us yesterday suffer. They never tasted decent food all their lives. But he could not help everyone ..."

Little Emma rounded her eyes.

"I will help father," the little girl said in determination. She raised her hand and showed Arreya her palm. From the tiny palms radiating green light and slowly, a small plant appeared. Starting from the leaves, then the small stems, and roots...

"Emma, ​​don"t ...!" Arreya exclaimed, she restrained and pulled her daughter"s hand so Emma would stop using her power. "You"re still too young. I don"t want you to get hurt."

"Are you sick? You look pale." Haoran"s voice moved Emma from her reverie. "Do you want to rest? Our friends and teachers have started walking into the palace."

Emma hurriedly got up and shook her head. "No ... I"m fine."

"Are you sure?" Haoran asked again.

"I am sure." Emma held out her hand, asking that Haoran help her up, and the young man immediately took her hand. He later picked up Emma"s lunch bag from the gra.s.s and put it together with his lunch bag and threw them in the trash.

"Let"s follow them," he told Emma. The girl nodded.

While walking toward the palace, Emma raised her face and looked at the sun, which was still covered in clouds. Ah ... she remembered her mother said he had five types of powers. Emma wanted to know what powers did her mother have and whether she inherited them all.

She would find time to check her abilities secretly later. In the meantime, she must refocus this visit to the Versailles and then take the painting from Mr. Neville. Finally... tell Haoran about her parents.

She had already decided that she could trust Haoran.
