Every year in the Beltranville there was a festival that Shenaira was looking forward to. The Flower Festival. This festival will allow all the fairies from other kingdoms to bring and sell their exotic flowers there. There will be flower arrangement competitions. The champion of that competition will receive a huge amount of money and will have the privilege to stay at their famous hotel in their kingdom the LE FAIRYTAIL. There will be a fairy contest on the last day of the festival. The winner will be given the title of the Most Beautiful Fairy that year. She was dreaming to be part of that contest when she grew up. And the last but not the least on that festival was the Flower Lantern. Where they will light the Flower Lantern and let the wind lift it into the sky. They will write their wish in the piece of paper and burn it in the fire inside the lantern before lifting it to the sky. They believe that their messages will assimilate with the lantern and the lantern will bring their messages to heaven so the God will grant their wishes. They could ride a boat and get to the middle of lake if they want to lift and fly the lantern. Some couples wait for that moment because after lifting the Flower Lantern in the sky their wishes did come true. The festival will be held next week so the fairies were busy preparing for it. She told this flowet festival to her friend friends after they get back to the palace. She saw Loella's eyes twinkling, she must be excited about it. When she turn her head to Clerivan he was thinking deeply. He must notice her gaze because his eyes met hers. She flinched and turned her head away from Clerivan's face. They all decided to washed up again and meet again at the dinner table. Clerivan's POV Clerivan was listening to Shenaira telling them about the Flower Festival she was looking forward to thay will happen next week. He pretended to listen to her story but the truth she was watching her facial expressions. The ways she speaks, laughs, giggled and her eyes that were sparkling. All of them were being recorded in his recording pen that was on his pocket. It was the pen he invented that not only it can write but also could record video and audio. He brought and put it secretly in his pocket before they go to the lake earlier. So all of the things they did and see int he lake were all recorded and tranfered to his crystall ball. He was enjoying watching Shenaira telling how excited she was for the Flower Festival. The interesting part of her story was the Flower Lantern. Where the people will write their wishes on the paper and burn it to the fire of the Lantern before lifting and letting it go to the sky. She said that all their wishes did come true. He was interested in the Flower Lantern and will probably not lose the opportunity. About the part of the Fairy Contest. He was not interested to watch it unless Shenaira was one of the contestant. He imagined her appearance when she grew up. She must be the beautiful fairy of them all. There was no need to have a contest and they could just announce the winner which is Shenaira. He felt an intense gazed from someone and when find the owner of the gaze. He saw Shenaira looking at her. He flinched. Was he that obvious? Did she found out his feelings on her? When Shenaira looked away and left. He was left puzzled and confused about her behavior. Shenaira told them to go back to their rooms to washed up and met again at the dinner table. He wants to be with her a little longer but give up the idea and headed back to their room. After entering inside their room, he saw Justin thinking about something. So he went near him and asked what he was thinking. Justin hesitated at first but a few seconds still revealed what he was thinking. "I think I like Shenaira, brother". He told him. They were both surprised and stayed silent for a couple of minutes. His little brother liked Shenaira too! He was taken aback but think about what should the right response to her. He began to speak with Justin as his older brother. "Justin, you are too young to say that you like Shenaira. Everyone likes Shenaira, so what you are feeling right now was just like other people, understand?" Clerivan explained to Justin. He knew that he was a bit childish but he does not want him to grow up and continue liking Shenaira like he did. He look at Justin to see his reactions. He looked like he was about to cry. He patted his back. He told him that he can continue liking her as her older sister. Justin seems satisfied about it. A couple of hours have passed. They heard a knock on the door. The maids announced that it was the time for dinner. They said that the King and Queen called them to join the dinner table. Upon arriving at the dinner table, they were guided by the maids on their chairs. They sat on the chair and wait for the signal for them to eat. The Fairy King asked them what happened to their first day at the kingdom. Clerivan politely answered that like the palace and thanked him for his hospitality to them. The Fairy King laughed about the last part of what he said. He told them that he and their father were childhood friends and both went to study at Wizard and Fairy Academy. Their attentions were caught about what the king just told to them. The king and their father's childhood and adolescent life at the Wizard and Fairy Academy. Their eyes were shining. The king announced that they could start to eat now. The king began to tell their story to them. He still remembered the first he saw King Cleron at the Overon Wizarddom. King Lapiro's POV King Lapiro's childhood days Getting off the carriage, the young Clerivan scanned the area where he was. The place where their destination was the Overon Wizaddom. His father guided him to where the Wizard King was waiting for their arrival. The young Clerivan look around and amazed by what he was seeing. The Wizarddom was definitely different from their kingdom. In terms of the structures, the way they dress and the people their were wearing a cape and holding a staff. The buildings were huge and there were wizards flying everywhere. After drawing near to the Wizard King he noticed a little child behind him. He looked frail and weak. The Wizard King greeted them and he introduced his son to them. The child's name was Cleron. The child was scared but still greeted them. Lapiro grab his arm to shake it energetically. He doesn't know but his instincts told him that the child needed him. He asked Cleron if he could him a tour to their palace. Lapiro saw Cleron hesitated at first but still nodded his head as his approval. Lapiro's father told them to be careful and they left them to go inside the palace. They were walking in the garden and Cleron explained to him about their garden. Lapiro noticed that he was starting to feel at ease now. Cleron was not stammering anymore. He also noticed that they were followed by maids behind them. He just shrugged. When they reached the training area in the palace. They saw some wizards that were currently training their powers. The training ground is where the Wizard Knights base. There were some little kids who were being trained to be the next batch of the Wizard Knights when he heard some children talking about something behind the bushes. He tried to ignore it but when he saw Cleron bowing and hiding his face to him. He got curious. He activated his power to sharpen his sense of hearing. He realized the reason why Cleron was bowing his head. It was because of them! He heard how they make fun of Cleron because he have not yet awaken his power even though he already reached the age of manifesting it which was 7 years old. Lapiro was in raged about what he heard. He secretly cast a minor thunder spell to punish the children behind the bushes. After he casted and activated the spell they heard the scream of the children. They were crying and looking for the culprit. Lapiro smirked and looked at Cleron's face. He his eyes sparkling. He nod his hand and askef him to teach magic! Magic? He does not know how to use magic? Really? In a Wizarddom? What was happening there? Lapiro looked at Cleron's desperate eyes. He is really serious!
