A gust of night wind swept past, and his thin frame shivered slightly, only making him look even more fragile and pitiful.
The moment they saw the male’s face, alarm bells started ringing loud and clear in the minds of Aria’s mates.
They knew their huntress far too well. Aria had a serious, undeniable weakness for a handsome face.
A male this devastatingly beautiful appearing out of nowhere practically screamed danger.
Milper Qilton, standing close beside Aria, glanced at the man in front of them and spoke up to redirect her attention.
“Huntress, the banquet’s about to start. Emma’s waiting on you.”
He didn’t bother chasing the male off directly, since that felt far too crude a move, and it might even irritate his huntress instead.
The moment Emma’s name registered, Aria’s focus snapped back into place.
Right, she still needed to find Emma. She couldn’t afford to waste any more time standing around here.
She glanced back at the male, genuinely too beautiful to ignore, and after a moment of hesitation, she couldn’t help but ask.
“I didn’t hurt you when we collided, did I?”
She still hadn’t managed to figure out what bloodline he belonged to, though judging by how frail and delicate he looked, he probably came from one of the weaker therian lines without much combat ability.
“No… no, I’m fine…”
Hearing her concern, the man waved his hands frantically, cleanly flustered and overwhelmed by her kindness, and in his panic, his already worn out device slipped from his grip and hit the ground.
A sharp crack rang out.
It was an incredibly outdated model, and the moment it struck the pavement, its screen shattered into a spiderweb of cracks.
“My lightcore!”

The man immediately bent down to retrieve it, and as his long, pale fingers closed around the shattered screen, a sharp edge sliced across his skin, drawing a thin line of crimson blood that dripped down onto his white shirt like a blossoming red flower.
He hissed softly through his teeth at the sting, then, as though long accustomed to hiding his pain, quickly tucked his injured hand behind his back, lowering his head like a child caught doing something wrong.
“I’m terribly sorry, most beautiful and honored huntress…”
His voice thickened with emotion, his eyes rimmed red, and a single tear hovered dangerously at the edge of those glasslike blue eyes, as though he’d suffered some unbearable injustice he didn’t dare speak aloud.
“I… I never meant to run into you like that. I was just… just so frightened.”
The moment Aria saw those tears welling up in such a beautiful face, her resolve melted almost completely.

“Frightened? Of what?” She studied him carefully, her brow furrowing. “Is someone bullying you?”

The man lowered his tong lashes, hiding whatever emotion swirled in his eyes, his voice cracking with restrained emotion.
“I… I come from a remote, low ranked star system, and I barely managed to earn a spot at one of the academies here on Central
Planet.
“To cover my living expenses and afford the special medicine my sick little brother desperately needs, I fought tooth and nail to land a job as a server for tonight’s Executive Department banquet…”
He bit down hard on his pale lower lip, as though forcing himself to hold back the tears threatening to spill over.
“But… but a few noble males just now looked down on me for my humble background. Not only did they tear up my work badge, but they also stole the star coins I’d saved to buy medicine for my brother.
“I was terrified they’d hurt me, so I ran as fast as I could, and that’s how I ended up crashing straight into you…“.
By the time he finished, he lifted his head sharply, and those stunning glasslike eyes stared up at Aria, filled with despair and desperate pleading.
“My lady, I know colliding with you was an unforgivable offense. Please, I’m begging you, don’t hand me over to the Executive Department’s guards.
“If they take me away, I’ll lose my place at the academy, and my brother will die without his medicine…
“I’ll beg you if I have to. I’ll spend the rest of my life repaying your kindness, however I can!”
As he said this, he actually started to lower himself down onto his knees.
“Wait, no, no, no! Get up, please!”
Aria couldn’t possibly stand by and watch some this beautiful cry in front of her like this, looking so heartbreakingly wretched.
She grabbed his arm almost instantly and pulled him back to his feet.
“I’m not upset with you. I mean that.”
Aria’s protective instincts and her weakness for beauty combined into an overwhelming surge of righteous determination.
“Come inside with me. Just tell me who took your credits, and I’ll make sure they regret it.”
Milper rubbed his temple in frustration.
He tried once more to redirect her attention.
“Huntress, Emma is still waiting for you.”
“Right.”
Aria snapped back to reality. “Emma is still waiting for me.”
She couldn’t keep Emma waiting any longer than she already had.
She turned back to the male. “Come inside with me. We’ll meet my sister–in–law first, then I’ll help you get your star coins back
