Finding Stardust (Princess Of Akkadia)

Chapter 33 - The Princess That Was Promised

The six of them took a photo together using a tripod. All their faces were adorned with smiles, including Emma's. She was the happiest she had ever been. Her memories of her parents' have returned; she could also remember their faces and even had their portraits made. She also had a good friend in Haoran who was always kind to her and wanted to help her find her parents. Truly, Emma was grateful.

Alex was delighted to see their photo and immediately showed it off to his friends. The Eiffel Tower in the background looked magnificent and wondrous.

"Hey, someone is secretly taking our picture," Haoran whispered while glancing to the left. Emma followed the Haoran's gaze and saw a student from class F taking a photo sneakily with her cellphone.

Haoran and his friends were quite famous in school. Although they had a bad reputation as troublemakers, a lot of girls actually liked them. Haoran, Alex, and Eric especially had a lot of female fans.

Emma snorted softly. She could guess how that girl would upload the photo on their group chat on the account of how close Emma was with the five troublemakers from class F. With a subtle wave of her hand, Emma threw the girl's phone with a sweep of strong wind.

"Aaaahhh! My phoooone!" The girl squeaked in surprise as the strong wind carried her phone and slammed it to the ground.

The girl hysterically picked up the phone from the ground. And she immediately cried when she saw the screen had cracks all over it and couldn't be turned on. Her friends gathered in surprise. The strong wind didn't hit them. It only accidentally swept the cellphone from her hand.

Accidentally? Emma smiled faintly at their words. She glanced at Haoran and acted as if nothing had happened. Haoran stared at her without blinking for a few seconds.

"Woah..." That's all he said. "You're so cool."

Emma pretended not to hear Haoran's words and sat on the grass with her eyes closed. She had impulsively used her power to break the girl's phone because Emma didn't like to be photographed, much less secretly.

Ah, per usual, after Emma had used her power, a flash of memory would show up before her, and she'd be able to see her parents again.

"Do you remember the radio tower at the academy, General Stardust?" asked Arreya, smiling at Kaoshin. "When I ran away from the academy, you were the only one who thought of looking for me there. Doesn't this tower remind you of that one?"

Kaoshin looked at the Eiffel Tower in front of them and nodded. "They do look quite similar."

"I love that tower, because that's where I first learned that you loved me." Arreya's eyes wandered far away as she was overcome by nostalgia for a moment. "That's the only memory I have from Akkadia that always makes me happy."

"That's when I let you read my mind." Kaoshin gave a faint smile, and his eyes wandered far away too.

"You're the only person who knows that I'm a telemancer," Arreya said quietly. "I can't imagine how many more people would hate me at the academy if they knew it. I already have too many powers."

"It's partly your fault, you didn't want to reveal your identity as a Royal in the academy and let them think you're an ordinary person," commented Kaoshin. He squeezed his wife's shoulder gently. "They didn't dare to hate you after the Crown Prince came to visit at that time."

"Hmm..." Arreya looked away. "I didn't like it after my identity was announced. There were so many sycophants and hypocrites who tried to be kind to me just because I was the future wife of the Crown Prince."

"It's not just because of that. They all learned you were The Princess That Was Promised. Of course, it's only natural for you to have so many powers," Kaoshin added.
