At sunset, the preparation of the performance had entered the final stage.

The tall grey tent in the center of the square was quickly removed. The creative super huge flower vine stage for the first time revealed its true face in front of everyone, and as expected, it attracted a lot of praise. nIn the reserved space in front of the stage, the student union officers were busy preparing the VIP seats and entertainment supplies. The iron railings around the square were also full of armed praetorian guards, all of whom were straight and expressionless.

Gian and Lu Ang, who had nothing to do, were sent to serve the guests. Before the venue entrance, the two of them stood at the entrance to the iron railings and began to chat.

“By the way, haven’t you heard of my goddess’s concert before?” Asked Lu curiously.

“I don’t have time…Besides, I’m not interested in music or art at all… “He leaned against the railing and looked up at the red clouds in the sky. He had always been busy working and making money. How could he have the time to care about such things. However, it seemed that her mother liked this lady very much. She often hummed a famous song she had sung. He didn’t know how his mother was doing recently. Looking at the rosy sky, he was in a daze. He didn’t realize it until Lu urged him in confusion.

“Hey…I called you for a long time, but you didn’t respond. “The little fat guy pushed the shoulder of Gian and said, “I said, you must listen carefully tonight! Maybe this is the last time she performs in the capital city…”

“The last time…Why? “When he thought of Shane’s words, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

“……How do I know? “The little fat guy lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed.

“I didn’t expect that…If I had known it earlier, I would have asked her on the way… “Gian suddenly felt that they had missed a good opportunity and was a little annoyed.

“On the way?” Lu was confused, so Gian briefly told him what had happened before and after.

“What!? You said you saw my goddess? Why did you come here by car with her? “The little fat boy screamed in disbelief, causing the guards not far away to look askance at him.

“……Why are you so excited? “Gian inexplicably looked at the thumping chest of his star chasing friend, completely unable to understand the inner world of the fans.

“Haha…Buddy, have you got the autograph of the goddess? Give me, OK？ OK？ Okay? “The little fat boy instantly thought of the key point and immediately smiled as he pinched the shoulder of Gian to show his respect.

“Of course not……I’ve just met that lady only twice. “

“……What a fool! You have missed such a good opportunity! “The fat guy turned around angrily and ignored him.

Gian shook his head in amusement. This kid was really that lady’s loyal fan. No wonder he was so unhappy. But fortunately, he never held grudges. Now he looked a little angry, but he forgot it all the next day.

Thinking of this, he looked into the distance. He saw the familiar white luxury diabolic car slowly coming from the north of the square. The motorcar stopped at the entrance along the road. The two of them quickly stood straight. A royal guard opened the door and got out of the car. A slightly thin middle-aged man with a majestic aura walked out.

He looked about 40 years old. He was wearing a traditional white pattern golden dress of Agnesa, holding an ice blue crystal cane with a few sapphire badges on his chest, and a high hat with a diamond carved national emblem. His face was clear and elegant as if he always had a spring breeze like a smile. There were almost no wrinkles around his slanted Phoenix eyes, which was obviously good at maintenance.

Gian stared at this noble figure for a long time. It was not until this big bug looked at him with a faint smile that he realized it was too impolite. He quickly bowed deeply and said, “Sir, please show me your invitation card.”

The man in luxury clothes took out the invitation card from his pocket and handed it to Gian with a smile. The young man took it and had a look. It read, “I sincerely invite the Lord Sarong Askel to attend my first farewell concert at Flood Icing Hotel Square in the capital on November 11th.” Ms. Lovina’s full name was signed.

“I’m sorry. Please come in!” It turned out to be the leader, which made Gian a little nervous. He gave the invitation back to the  Lord Sarong Askel with both hands and made way for the passage. The leader nodded to him with a smile and walked into the hall slowly.

“Askel…He has the same surname as the shop manager. “Looking at his back, Gian whispered to himself, although the northern alliance’s army was vast, it had a small population. Since Lord Sarong Askel was the leader of the Askel, he must know the shop owner. Maybe they were relatives! Thinking of the manager’s elegant and proud appearance, Gian felt that they were somewhat similar.

The little fat guy beside came up and whispered to him, “I heard that the leader has a close relationship with his goddess. He once pursued her, but she was refused! Hee hee… “The little fat guy covered his mouth and snickered. Gossip newspaper was his favorite. From the beginning to the end, these gossip news was much more interesting than boring books.

“……You know it clearly. Why don’t you use more brains in your exam? “Gian mocked him sourly. A few more celebrities in formal attire walked towards them. The two of them didn’t dare to say anything more and continued to receive the guests.

The night fell quickly. The Flood Icing Hotel Square was surrounded by people who were waiting to watch the performance. Most of the guests inside the square took their seats and whispered.

With the help of the bright street lamps on the side of the road, Gian finally saw Shane and a figure as far away from people. They hurriedly got off the black motorcar, nodded at the young man, and quickly walked into the performance hall. As Gian watched them walk towards the seat of Lord Sarong Askel, they began to salute each other in a very aristocratic manner.”  It’s really troublesome to be an aristocrat…” Gian sighed inwardly.

He turned his head and looked around. A big black piano was placed on the right side of the stage. Many bright, colorful lights were hung on the tall vines pillar, which made the whole stage shining. Two heavy cameras were also erected in the aisle on both sides of the stage. Several engineers were nervously adjusting them. These should be the private property of the Newspaper Union.

“When can we have a camera…I don’t know how much it will cost. “The young man stared at the complicated and expensive heavy machine with admiration and began to think nonsense again.

“Hey!boy!Get out of the way! I’m going in! “An arrogant shout interrupted his thoughts. He turned around in astonishment. In front of him was a young man in a black robe, his face covered in a hood. When he saw Gian look over, he gently pulled his hood, revealing his arrogant and domineering face.

Lord Yu Ming? Gian was stunned when he recognized his opponent. Why did he look as if he didn’t know him? Gian recalled the dejected look of Yu Ming when he left with the cold faced officer last night. He secretly laughed in his heart that this fellow could also be defeated sometimes.

“Don’t you know me!? Get out of my way! “Seeing that Gian was standing still, Yu Ming frowned and shouted angrily. However, his eyes were flickering as if he was looking around with a guilty conscience.

“Sorry I don’t know…Please show me your invitation. “As soon as he came to his senses, Gian straightened his face and mumbled the lines. In the face of such a threat, he simply didn’t bother to raise his eyelids.

“Bastard! Get out of my way! Or I’ll give you a lesson in a minute! “Yu Ming scolded angrily in a low voice, trembling with anger.

“Please show me your invitation.” Gian mechanically repeated his words and didn’t bother to talk to him anymore. With his hands in his pockets, he narrowed his eyes and blocked the entrance like a statue. Yu Ming had been clamoring for a long time, but he still didn’t want to give way. he could only shake her sleeve angrily, turn around and leave.

As Gian watched the white figure disappear from the crowd, he felt even more strange. Why did this fellow become so coward? He had thought that they would have a big fight again, but he suddenly felt that he had no place to use his full strength.

As soon as Lu Ang saw Yu Ming’s face, he shrank to the side and pretended to be dead. Then he leaned over and whispered to Gian, “why doesn’t Lord Yu Ming have an invitation? Shouldn’t he get the invitation easily?”

“How do I know…I saw him sending flowers to Ms. Lovina yesterday…”

“Really? I didn’t expect him to be a fan of my goddess…My goddess is so charming! “The little fat guy’s eyes sparkled, and he clasped his hands as if he was praying.

“……” Gian was speechless with this friend, who was severely obsessed.

At this time, the light on the stage suddenly dimmed, and there were countless cheers and screams around the square. The two young men who were caught off guard were shocked. A beam of slanted white light appeared in the center of the stage. Following the light, Gian saw that it was the light of divine power from a white-robed warrior. With the white light’s appearance, a performer walked out of the backstage with all kinds of instruments in his hands. They sat on both sides of the stage and began to adjust the instruments. To his surprise, he saw the white-haired old butler sitting by the piano, closing his eyes and waiting quietly with his head down.

After a strange and chaotic tune, the whole stage became quiet again. The white light began to move back slowly. Ms. Lovina, in a long snow-white dress, was walking gracefully from the backstage. With a smile on her face, she wore light makeup. Her chestnut curly hair was coiled into a flower bun, and her white dress was as pure and elegant as a fairy in the mortal world. As soon as they saw the lady, there was a burst of fanatic screams in the crowd. In the cheers, Ms. Lovina slowly walked to the center of the stage, looked around, and bowed slightly.

“Thank you very much for coming.” She smiled and thanked the audience. Without saying anything more, she turned to Louise, the old housekeeper. The old man gave him a faint smile and reached out to open the lid of the piano. The rhythmic piano music sounded on the stage. The surroundings immediately became quiet as if there was no one around. Ms. Lovina opened her mouth and sang the first song. Her voice seemed to be very light, but miraculously, it could be heard by everyone present, as if she was singing beside their ears.

Under the moonlight

Which peaceful wooden fence

The wind was hoarse

man can not hear the obscure words

Epiphyllum

She quietly bloomed in summer without anyone around.

Like a melancholy dancer

With her white dress

It’s so young and flawless. “

This song was exceptionally soft and ethereal. The world sea seemed to be located in a quiet moonlight garden. It trembled in the cold night wind, causing goosebumps all over its body. It was completely immersed in a faint, sad atmosphere. Then, the music gradually became louder, and the woman’s song also turned into a more gorgeous swing.

“Who will come

Kiss her sad face

Who will come

Make up her fleeting youth.

Who will come

With her, wander to the end of the world slowly.

She blooms silently

Under the gentle moonlight

Waiting for another reincarnation

It’s such a lonely moment. “

After a slight pause, a fairy-like high pitched voice followed. Gian only felt as if they had been sucked into the sacred realm created by the song. Their minds were empty, leaving only the echoing sounds from the sky.

“Oh, my God…Oh, my God… “He couldn’t help but whisper in admiration, falling for this voice that was not like a mortal’s.

The onlookers around the square were all silent, immersed in Mrs. Lovina’s beautiful song, and even the moonlight was frozen, like a quiet picture.

Under the boundless moonlight, accompanied by a slight sound of footsteps, a row of black figures appeared on the top of a slightly shabby tall building in the east of the square. Their faces were covered by wide necklaces, and their long cloaks floated up and down with the wind.
