Everything was unfolded.

"Diana, that man has been staring at you."

"Which one?"

"That one! He's so handsome!"

"Too handsome. We never had clients like him. Go shine, Diana."

"You two are too much."

"Ladies! That is his majesty! The Emperor!"

"What?!"

°

"What's your name?"

"I am Diana, your majesty."

°

"My lady, his majesty requested your presence."

"This is the 9th time this week. Diana, you're getting lucky."

"Oh shush."

°

"You have that tea every time. What is that?"

"You should try it, your majesty. It is called lippe tea, it comes from my home."

"You like it that much?"

"Yes. It feels like flowers are blossoming in my mouth."

°

"Thank you, sir Felix."

"Your welcome, my lady."

"Felix, take ten steps back."

°

"You will look good in green and red, your majesty."

"Oh?"

"Yes! Oohhh! Look at this one!"

°

"Thank you for the etiquette lessons, Lillian. If it weren't for you I could've made a fool out of myself."

"It was my pleasure, Diana. If you need anything else, please inform me."

°

"Those flowers are beautiful."

"We can have them picked up. Why are you dirtying your hands?"

"It's more enjoyable to pick them up yourself. Ah! This rose is so pretty. Don't you think, your majesty?"

"Yes ... it is."

°

"Even if you try to scare me off, I won't leave. Because I'm your majesty's woman."

°

"So live a life you will remember~
My father told me when I was just a child~
These are the nights that never die~"

°

"You need rest, your majesty."

"I have duties, Diana."

"I'm sure you can do them better if you rest. Come here."

"..."

"Put your head on my lap ... your majesty's hair is beautiful. It's like a puddle of gold."

"You speak too much nonsense."

°

"Hold my hand, your majesty! ... it fits so well!"

"Yes."

"... your majesty, people are watching."

"So be it."

"Oh dear."

°

"Your majesty."

"Yes, Diana?"

"I think I love you."

"... I think I love you too."

°

"You seem to like the tea as well, your majesty."

"It has a nice texture."

"Mhmm."

°

"Your majesty."

"Diana? What's wrong?"

"... I ... I am with child."

"What? ... we're going to be parents!"

"Hahaha! Yes!"

"Thank you, Diana."

°

"I'm sorry your majesty. The child's mana is too powerful. The Lady's body won't be able to handle it."

°

"Either the Lady or the child can survive."

°
"I feel like I've been played by you. I will even beg if you want."

"H-how can you say such thing?"

"I'll do anything for you to choose me. Instead of that child that's eating away your life as we speak!"

°

"This is our baby ... so even if it costs me my life, I want to protect them."

°

"As you loved me. I want you to give some of that love this child. Love this child as you loved me."

°

"My Athanasia, grow up happy and healthy ... love your father ... ."

°

Stella stared at Diana. Now she was staring at her self.

"I- we-"

"We fulfilled our mission."

Diana and Stella became one. The two parted souls returned and became one. The now complete soul smiled to herself and looked down.

"I'll look after them a bit more ... then I'll pass on."

"Come here, child." Luna, goddess of moon and night said.

"Now, I name you; Lyra. The guardian of the constellations. Your soul will be here until your soulmate is reborn. Do you accept my order, Lyra?"

"I accept, Goddess."

With that the old Stella's midnight hair turned into the color of the moons white. Her eyes shining golden like the stars. Stell- Lyra bowed and said.

"What is your first order, goddess?"

°She didn't turn into a goddess but a guardian! Stella, now Lyra, made a contract with Goddess Luna to serve her before she get reincarnated again.°
