A momentary sorrows

"What the. You can make this type of thing? And I thought it was forbidden to" Saying Bianca bite her tongue.

'Well, I did make some instrument too. But I didn't think about making anything to communicate with others. If I knew it earlier. I could...' She sighed again.

Understanding her thought, Astin smiled pressing his lips. 'I didn't know she is so cute. Why I didn't get to meet her before. Well, it's not that late though. We are just six years old.'

"Well, I made it but I didn't use it before. Cause I don't have anyone to talk to. And it needs a high amount of mana so unless you have a lot of mana. And it is hard to find people like this you know it well." Astin made various types of excuses until Bianca took it.

'Thank heaven. I just made it yesterday.' He gave a closing eye smile touching his head.

"I understood. Then I am taking it. I will upgrade it for normal people too."

"Ok. I can help you then." Astin gave a foolish 'It is already ok for the normal people. How can you upgrade it?'

"Well. Ummm.." Bianca was thinking she also needs to give him something in return. But what she should give she can't think of. She has a lot of treasures but she doesn't know what might make him interested. Suddenly one idea popped up on her head 'heh. Why I am having headache for this?' She opened her inventory and brought out a mini camera. It was like a polaroid camera.

"Take it. it is a mini camera. No one can see it. you will be able to take pictures by this."

"No one? even you? And me too? So how can use it if I can't see it?" Astin made fun of her.

"You fool. It means until it has any owner anyone can watch it but later no one can't except the owner. As well as for the pictures too."

Actually, Bianca made it for fun at first. Later she thought it will be good to keep memories. Thinking about Riela's upcoming birthday, she made one extra too. It was originally for Riela but she can make one again. So she doesn't feel worried about making it more.

"Wahhh, it is so advanced. But how can I become its owner? He was trying to find its manual but there is none."

"Well face recognition. Just do it. and you will become." Bianca showed how to use it first and then how to be the owner as well.

Astin quickly followed Bianca's instruction and turned it on. The first thing he did after being it's owner is taking Bianca's picture.

"what are you doing?" Bianca looked at him as she can't see the camera so she doesn't know what he is doing.

"Nothing. Well I was about to ask the most important question. I mean, what is your name?"

Bianca grinned touching her head "Ahhh, see. We don't even know our name. My name is Bianca. what is yours?"

"My name is Arvistin. You can call me Arvis"

"Ok but sorry I decided to call you tin, tin pan, tin glass." Bianca looked at him with a funny face. Astin flushed seeing her smiley face. "Well, whatever you want" saying he turned his face back.

"Well, you can call me Bianca, Bian, Anca anything you want"

"I will go for Anca then," Astin said casually. 'Cause I think no one will call you Anca. Bin, Bianca is common. Hhmph'

"Thanks, I think I should go now. Thanks a lot or I would still be sad."

"Well hope to see you soon. And don't feel sad. If you feel alone just send me a message through this. Be happy always." Astin slowly answered with unwavering eyes.

"I will keep that in mind bye." Bianca disappeared after waving her hand.

"Ahhh, Anca you are making me crazy in one day. I don't know what will happen in the future." He looked at the photo he took earlier and smiled. Then he went outside of the library and disappeared in the thin air.

After returned back, Bianca silently wiped her eyes. She looked at her father whose eyes are searching for someone. 'Are you searching for me, papa? But you can't be able to find me.'

She opened her camera and took some of his pictures of Bethan secretly.

Bethan actually joined the ceremony with lots of hope and fear. Cause he knows his hope might not be fulfilled but even so.

Soon he became hopeless when he couldn't find anyone having minty or blue hairs even the eye colors similar to Bianca. His eyes were searching through every pros and cons, not particularly girls but boys too.

But alas! There was no one he can resemble Bianca. HE forgot Bianca is not like a small child, she was two years old. She changed a lot in the past 4 years. He forgot she was only two years old baby when he saw her last. And she is six years old kid now.

He feels regret for forgetting about her not giving her proper love but it was out of his limit. Still, he didn't act like a father. He forgot about her after Zoe born. Not even cared for her well-being. She was a child they abandoned. But still hoped to stay near to them. But they forgot their ignorance can hurt Bianca too. Although she was a baby, she was quite mature since born.

Thinking all of these, he sighed with black face. The king observed all but couldn't understand the reason for his sudden change.

After giving a small welcome note he turned to Bethan patting his back

"Are you ok Bethan? If not, don't overdo. Just return home and take some rest. Don't worry rest of the ceremony are just about examining magic."

Bethan gave a bow "Then excuse me, your highness." And left without waiting for the king's reply. "I hope him to be okay." Saying, he vanished behind the black door.

After then, the actual ceremony began. Everyone started to walk one by one towards the rooms that are hidden in black clothes. Within a few seconds, everyone became noisy again and started to talk with each other.

Seeing her father's sad face, Bianca felt sad again but this time she controlled herself well. Cause to her

'a momentary sorrow can be sacrificed for having lifetime happiness.'

She lowered her eyes gripping her hand tight. After a moment, she looked at her father again. Her father bowed to the king and left the place. 'what happened to papa? Is he ill? Why he come though? I thought he wouldn't come.'

"Hey Bin" suddenly Astin poked her back. "What are you thinking?"
