The curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian
The Scorching Night

"First, please excuse me, Your Majesty. I don't want any noise in the party later, so allow me to postpone their marriage until next year, just one more year. I will teach Her Royal Highness Princess Keira all the knowledge she should have known before setting foot inside this palace as a wife of the crown prince. Of course, His Highness Crown Prince Higarashi was allowed to visit him as often as possible. Then ... the second one, since only you can use star energy, can you double this will, to be tucked together with the invitation letter for their engagement later?" xyon asked as he handed the cosmic letter to Klafina.

Klafina then raised her right hand and a golden-coloured Star Baton then appeared within her grasp. He then took the cosmic letter and swung his Star Baton.

The star energy coming out of the tip of the object, looks like fine grains in the air, which then surround the cosmic letter, and doubles it into two pieces. His Star Baton then disappeared, and Clafina handed one of the cosmic letters back to Xyon.

"That's easy. Alright, I will ask the servants to double this cosmic letter as well as slip it inside their engagement invitation, later. For the wedding, fine, Prime Minister Xyon. We will wait, just one more year will certainly pass quickly" Klafina said.

Xyon smiled, then he took the cosmic letter from Claphine's hand, then turned to Keira and said, "Alright, then, then, me and Her Royal Highness Princess Keira will head back to Planet Palladina first. Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Xyon was about to walk up to Keira, but suddenly, Klafina blocked his steps by standing before the Prime Minister of Palladina and smiling at him.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister Xyon. For the smooth running of the engagement party, Her Highness Princess Keira should be here to get ready, since it is only three days. You can take her after the engagement party is over, sir," Klafina said.

Xyon was silent for a moment while looking at Klafina, but after a while, he then let out a short sigh and said, "Ah, alright then. I'll leave it to you, if so, and come back first, Your Highness.”

Then he bowed his body for a while, then stood up straight again and walked out of the main hall, leaving the four of them.

After Xyon left them, Keira then looked at Klafina with a astonished face.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. But isn't three days too fast?" ask her with a red face.

"Sure, dear," answered Klafina, "but, if it takes too long, the Silverians will take action before you can get married. I just want to tie you up with my son before they do.”

"Son, we'd love to be able to help you. Palladina is our ally, so, there is no way we refuse this precious offer, let alone Planet Palladina being the guardian of the galaxy. We will help you to face the Silverian, for the sake of peace for all" Neriya said with a smile on her face.

Keira then nodded and asked again, "Your Majesty, if I can't return to Planet Palladina now ...,” however, Klafina interrupted her remark, "You will sleep in a room we will prepare, until the time comes. Well, we can get closer to each other for a few days, right?"

“Ah, so. Thank you, Your Majesty,” reply Keira.

“Servant! Is anyone outside?” claphina exclaimed, and a maid entered the main hall and hurriedly walked over, bowing her head before the empress.

“Take Princess Keira to her room and prepare a dress for her. Palace will soon hold an engagement party for the Crown Prince in three days,” Klafina said.

“Good, Your Highness,” reply the lady's maid.

Klafina smiled broadly.

“Please, Your Majesty,” said the maid, then she stood up straight and walked out of the main room together with Keira.

The girl followed the maid into a room at the end of one of the palace hallways, watching her surroundings.

The room was not so far from Higarashi's room, just a different hallway. As soon as she got there and entered the room, another maid was waiting for her in the room. The maid gave a nightgown to replace her current clothes.

"Your Majesty, the dress for tomorrow is already prepared in the wardrobe. Do you have any other requests, Your Majesty?" asked the maid with her head bowed.

"Ah no, that's enough. I'll do it myself. Thank ye. You can go," Keira replied.

“Alright, Your Majesty,” reply to the maid.

He then went out and left Keira alone. After the door was shut tightly, the girl immediately watched her surroundings with a puzzled face.

“Jeez, big room! I'd better take a shower and change my clothes, then go to sleep!! Tomorrow will be a tiring day!” yells.

He immediately took a shower and changed his clothes with the clothes that the maid had just given him. After taking care of herself, Keira sat on the bed staring at the large window beside her, which was only blocked by a white curtain. He could even see a huge number of stars, dotting the sky tonight.

"I ... can no longer be afraid like yesterday," he murmured softly, “but, is my decision correct? Will the Silverians be targeting the planet? Will the curse of the universe come to everyone here?!”

He then lay down, however, his heart felt troubled. Many times he tried to fall asleep, but could not.

“I'd better take a short walk to get some air and clear my mind,” he murmured again.

He then walked out of the room, then walked along the empty palace hallway without anyone there. However, the further he walked, the greater the doubt he had in his heart just deepened.

Finally he stopped stepping in the middle of the palace hallway, staring at the floor with a sad face. Keira scrunched her forehead, and began to feel that her heart was beating rapidly. Suddenly, he was filled with great doubt when he recalled the incident when he was about to attack Xyon with his cosmic weapon in the house at that time.

“Who am I really?” muttered Keira softly with glaring eyes.

He then recalled the events of his childhood, when he almost attacked a boy who was about to threaten him in the chrysanthemum plantation. Keira immediately held onto her head with both hands, then knelt down with a face that looked terrified.
