Moonlight Festival

Selma Payne's POV:

"Let's meet at the school gate! Let's set a meeting place."

I wanted to go to the appointment with Aldrich hand in hand, but I couldn't. On this day, only family members and lovers of the opposite sex would go together. So, to not reveal any clues, we could only bear the pain and go separately.

"I'll see what I can do!" Aldrich hugged me and hid behind the thick curtains of the empty room." I promise this will not be a lonely Moonlight Festival. The footsteps of the shepherd will always follow the Holy Moonlight."

After I parted ways with Aldrich, I went to see my parents.

My parents had to leave in advance to give a speech at the festival, which meant I had to go alone.

"Keep in touch with the guards at all times," my mother said worriedly. "Every year, a small accident will occur during the carnival parade. If you meet a drunkard or a hooligan, don't tolerate it. Order the guards to beat them up!"
