Chapter 16.

Longing for Stars.

Fleyra had asked about the prince if anyone had seen him and if they knew where he was. She wanted an answer, however, almost no one knew of his existence and others only confused him with other princes, so the information was erroneous, but she still believed it and headed to Merriam, where they said he was...

Her hands were sweating, she was nervous, she had made sure that her beauty stood out and stood out above any other woman, because the rumors circulating involved other women.

They said he spent the night with beautiful dancers and during the day he liked to listen to them recite poetry, that no one could resist his charms. She could even confirm it. ¿Who could refuse to serve the prince? He'd have to be crazy not to be given any attention...

Upon arriving, they told her that the man would appear in the village at night. She should be careful and dress in gold, because he liked girls with golden skin...

She knew what he really liked and was willing to ignore any other woman who tried to get in his way. Therefore, among her jewels, there was one that was actually a vessel of undetectable poison. Of course, when night fell, she was dressed in gold, covered in jewels.

He saw from afar the flash of a coppery mane like his, but he was surrounded by beautiful women trying to seduce him. So, feeling jealous, she approached and surreptitiously dropped the poison into the women's drinks. By the time she reached the prince, his face was disappointed because it wasn't him...

He wasn't the one she had come for, but she had already caught the attention of this prince, who told her he could even give her the title of princess and wife if she stayed by his side that night. 

However, she rejected him, saying she had mistaken him for her husband. Turning around, she returned to her carriage...

Her eyes were full of tears, her voice was about to break. It wasn't him, but ¿where was the prince? ¿Who was he with, making him laugh and filling his cup with wine? And ¿who warmed his pillow at night?

It was then, looking at the stars, that she longed with all her being for him to return. She asked for him with a deep feeling that the heavens could not ignore her request. The Great Immortal heard what she said, but he wouldn't approve.

He had sent her that prince with similar features so she would forget about Magnus, but she was greedy; she wanted a heavenly prince, she was shedding tears for an angel, and although other angels heard the woman's request, they couldn't discern who it was...

¿Who was the prince who had bewitched the heart of that flower? So, we only hoped that her yearning for the stars would cease as soon as possible, because her heart resounded with sincerity, and sincerity did reach as far as they were…
