A/N : Hi! Welcome,welcome, welcome. It's been a long time now. How do you do dear readers? Hehe sorry-overexcited! Coz today I'll be updating my story after a long time I've abandon it haha. Eh? Umm ahem! *rest from it for a while. Hehe.. please R&R a lot more. I still want to improve my writing skills.

P/S: BTW I've included a few songs in this chapter. If you want the detail of the songs, you can get it at the end of this chapter, kay. (^_^)/

Chapter 14: It's Show Time!

"Now, I know that all of you are too excited to hear our fellow prince and princess to sing their song. And here goes our first prince to debut his song.

"Let me present to you "

The entire crowd started to give their full attention on the stage. The lighting and music also began to dance surrounding the eager crowds. They impatiently waited for the first prince to make an appearance wondering who he is.

Coming from the crowds, you could hear them whispering everywhere, "Who is he I wonder?"

"Could it be Prince Shade?"

"Nope! I bet it's Prince Narlo. Oh~ isn't he a cutie?"

"I don't think so.."

"Ha! Maybe that prince is-"

The host rose up his hand, pointing at the background curtain, he announced, "Prince Bright from the Diamond Kingdom."

"KYAAA!" the zealous crowds shouted and cheered continuously.

"PRINCE BRIGHT! PRINCE BRIGHT! PRINCE BRIGHT! PRINCE BRIGHT! PRINCE BRIGHT! PRINCE BRIGHT!"

After awhile, Bright appeared from behind the background curtain. He stood elegantly in old-European-century-like clothes. It was dark chocolate with gold motives on some part of the clothes made it look unique and gave out the elegantness aura. Bright didn't wear his crown, instead he wore a dark brown clerical hat with large yellow-goldish feathers on top of it. Adding to his charm was a knee-length cape with dark brown in colour on the outside and golden the other side.

"Hi everyone," he smiled gently. "I'm Prince Bright from Diamond Kingdom. Today I'll present you my song, 'Roots of The King'. Hope it's to your liking."

Bright closed his eyes with his right hand in front of his face-facing the audiences. He held on to his position until the music started.

When the music started, his right hand moved away synchronizing with his left hand moving upward in slow motion and steady. The verses that were about to come flowed so naturally from his mouth through his body and could be interpreted clearly just from a single glance on his face and eyes. The choreography was so eye-catching. Who knows, there might even be someone who was drooling while watching it. *chuckle*

"The family crest rising from the palm of the hand is the proof

Drawing in the colour of darkness, he's wearing it like an aura

Roots of the King (x4)

"The thing he has to protect is the family's law

Judgement will be passed in an instant to those who have sinned

"For the power that can destroy the world

A pure-blooded successor has appeared

"Judge it King! The destiny has come spinning

Entrusting everything into those skill

The person who's bared his fangs shall prowls hell forever

"What is real? Overwhelming power

The control that now is the big sky he's commencing

This unshakable presence, Roots of the King~

"Sitting in that throne is but just one person

An imitator would only vanish in vain

Roots of the King (x4)

"In the blessing of darkness he continues walking

To the stage that's been promising to rise

"The world continues to turn without yet realizing

A pure-blooded successor has been chosen

"Judge it King! The destiny has been inherited

This era will be dyed black

The person that bared his fangs probably knows his eternal death penalty

"What is real? What has already begun?

It is not hope but with despair he's laughing with *smirk*

The unshakable presence, Roots of the King~

"No matter how secretly the light shines

There will always be shadows lurking

That is something decided and will never be erased, Roots of blood~

"Judge it King! The destiny has come spinning

Entrusting everything into those skills

The person who bares his fangs shall wander in the depths of Hell for eternity

"What is real? Overwhelming power

The control that now in the big sky he's commencing

The wind rises up and that figure stands

Is called Roots of the King~ KGYA!"

The music ended and the audiences showered Bright with non-stop applauding, whistling and shouting – means that they really enjoyed the show. Bright smirked. Without neither a 'thank you' word nor a bow that he usually did, he just went off backstage.

Even when Bright was on the back stage the cheering from the crowds kept resounding from every corner.

"Hey!" said one voice. Bright's steps stopped immediately. He looked at the person who was speaking. "Ah, it's just the dog-ear guy," he mumbled in cold voice.

"Isn't it rude to ignore your fans like that? At least thanked them so that they feel appreciated," said Auler to Bright with a bit chuckled. He thought that this friend of his was too fluttered that he forgot to even showed his gratitude. But everyone knew that Bright's face didn't seem like he was scared or nervous at all. He was all green. Nothing's was wrong. He even did a very magnificent performance. Plus, he already used to it isn't he?

"Hmph! What for?" Bright replied in a very cold manner.

"Uh well..um.." Auler startled a little. He kind of didn't expect that kind of reply would come – especially from Bright himself! He didn't know what kind of reply that he should deliver to Bright at the moment. "Well..it's nothing really. It's just...something that you usually do...so..."

"What usually do? Hey look, this is me and this is my way. So back off!"

GULP! "Ah..um... okay.." Auler's voice was fainting.

Bright started to make his way to somewhere else. He seemed to spot certain someone with red hair that he knew at the dark corner not that far from the place he was standing. But before he managed to get even a step further away, Auler had called out his name, "Uh.. Bright?!"

Bright just turned his head half-around towards Auler with an uninterested face. Auler was sweating even though it was quiet chilly that night. He was hoping that he wasn't doing anything that could make Bright annoyed at him even more. "I..I'm just wondering...

"Um...

"Well...

"It's...

"You're seemed...off today...

"So...

"Um...well...you just...come back to your sense...

"A few minutes ago...and...

"I...I just want to ask whether you're feeling okay or not!

"That's all...I guess..."

He was shivering and it's obvious! His words didn't seem to flow the way he wanted. He spoke in unrestricted. Even he himself didn't know what had got into him. The feelings...things that he heard..it looked like as if he was about to go into a swoon! He wanted to shout: to cry but he couldn't. He was in state of pain right now.

Bright who witnessed this incident just coldly ignored it. All he just did was throwing some smirk and a satisfaction 'serve you right' face. He then left.

Auler fell on his knees and mumbled, "This is...not true... He's not...the Bright that I always know... It's not him...why..." A few drops of tears fell from his cheeks.

"Hey, Cherry! It's your turn I supposed."

"I know."

"O-ho.. Hmm, feeling nervous perhaps?"

She smirked, "Hmph! Like I will!"

"–And now, up next, we would like to present one of our kingdom's princesses – Princess Fine!" the host announced.

Fine stood in front of the audience and bow. She was wearing a sleeveless knee-length dress; it was dyed in red, pink and black. There also a black flower choker on her neck. She also wore long white socks and black high heels with a red ribbons beside it.

Behind her was the Grand Piano. She sat on the piano gracefully.

"Rolling Girl," she whispered in a soft voice but enough to let the audiences hear what she said.

Music started. She started to play the piano.

"Rolling Girl always looked at unreachable dreams
Making a fuss if you got inside her head and disturbed, disturbed.

"'No problem.' Was murmured, but weren't those words lost?
Fail again, fail again.
After ending your search for mistakes, it spins again!

"Once more, once more.
"I'll also roll today,"
That girl says, that girl says,
Playing her words with meaning

""Are you better now?"
"It's still a ways off, I still don't see the point. I'm gonna stop my breathing, now."

"Rolling Girl is at the end of the ruins, beyond unreachable colors
Overlapping voices with voices and blending, blending.

""No problem." Was murmured, but those words were lost.
How are you going to turn out good?
Even the hill tempting me is making mistakes now.

"Once more, once more.
Somehow I'm rolling.
That girl said, That girl said
Repeating silent words with meaning

""Are you better now?"
"Just a bit more, and you'll see something soon. I'm gonna stop my breathing, now."

"Once more, once more.
"I'll also roll today,"
That girl says, that girl says,
Playing her words with a smile

""Are you better now? It's okay now. Let's go, you must be tired as well, right?"
I wanna stop my breathing, now."

Music ended.
