Celestia has been living in Tenebrae for almost a month. She got a job as a singer at a local restaurant. Her parents sent her here so she would not get involved in the impending war in her home country Draconis which is north east of Tenebrae.
"Five minutes Celeste"
"Okay thank you"
" Ugh. Why did my parents insist on me coming here. It's not that this place is not a beautiful place to live. It is just that I'm eighteen now and I can perfectly defend myself. Oh well I guess there is no sense in complaining is there"
"Celeste come on your up"
Celeste walks up on stage in gorgeous purple dress. Celeste is a Celtic singer and applied at Cafe Solis not just as a good paying job. She applied there with hopes that a talent scout would be there and maybe even want to sign her to their record label. But there is a particular group that she wants to be a part of.
An old man sitting at a table close to the small stage is marveled at not just her voice but the fact that she is singing in Latin. It is rumored that only royals can speak Latin naturally.
"Excuse me but who is that young woman"
" Oh Hello Genus. That is Celestia she is our newest singer. She has been working her for almost a month"
"May I speak with her"
"Uh sure come with me"
Inside Celestia's dressing room...
"The people here today were a better audience than I've seen since I started working here"
" Excuse me Celestia but you have a visitor"
" Brock how many times do I have to tell you to call me Celeste. You don't need to be so formal we are co-workers after all. Oh and please send them away I don't need to see another fangirl or boy"
" He is from the castle"
" The castle? Let him in"
" Why hello my name is Genus and I am the prince's personal butler and mentor"
" Hello Genus my name is Celestia but you can call me Celeste. Okay let's get to the point. Why are you here Genus."
" His majesty is looking for a new court singer and will be holding auditions tonight. Would you be interested?"
" So I would get to sing for the King?"
"Mostly at balls that he throws. You would sing for the guests and for the prince and his friends if requested"
" Don't you mean King?"
"Unfortunately he died recently"
"So I'm guessing the prince hasn't be coronated yet. Okay I will go to the audition. One problem though."
"Which is?"
" Where is the castle?"
"How about this. Give me your address and I will drive you there myself. I'll give you my number too so you can let me know when you are ready."
" Really? Thank you Genus!"
Later on, Celestia has arrived at the castle with Genus for the audition. As she is being lead to the ballroom where the auditions will be held she catches the eye of a raven-haired young man. She turns away quickly blushing a deep red.
" Miss Celestia your up"
"Thank you"
As she gets up on stage she is shocked to see the young man from earlier
-Celestia's thoughts-
" He must be the prince that Genus was talking about. I wonder what his name is."
"You are?"
"Celestia your highness"
"Just call me Noctis" he says in an annoyed tone.
"Tell me Celeste where are you from"
"Draconis its north east of this country"
" What city"
"Litus Regni"
"How long have you been singing"
"Well I started sing professionally as an amateur actress in theatre since I was five. But my parents told me that I have been singing since I could talk."
"Alright. What are you going to sing"
"Galway bay"
"Cue music"
Everyone in the ballrooms mouth drops at the sound of her voice. For her age Celestia is a very good and mature singer and performer. Many people find it hard to believe she is so young and that she is only eighteen with how beautiful she looks.
"May I ask how old you are Celeste"
" I just turned Eighteen last month"
-Gasps- Everyone in the room including the other singers who are at least in their mid-20's and older are shocked.
" Alright I have made a decision"
Everyone immediately stands up in excitement.
"Celestia when can you start"
"Immediately"
All of the other auditioners leave in an angered huff
"I can't believe that I did it. I cannot wait to tell my parents"
So Celestia is now going to be living in the castle. What more is there to her? Find out next time in Amoris.
