After Silas walked away, Aria immediately brightened and tugged Emma a few steps to the side, then leaned in close, speaking in a hushed, conspiratorial tone only the two of them could hear.

“Emma, listen to this. I just ran into the most, and mean the most, gorgeous male out by the landing pad!”

Aria’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “This guy looked, honestly, like some fragile piece of art that would shatter if you touched it

wrong.

“Long silver hair, and his eyes were this pure, clear pale blue color. And get this, he even had a little red tear shaped mark right at the corner of his eye. When he cried, it looked absolutely heartbreaking, so fragile it practically broke your heart just watching.”

He’d cried?

Emma blinked, curiosity sparking in her eyes. “So, this male actually cried in front of you?”

Clearly, he must have, or Aria wouldn’t be describing what he looked like while crying.

“What happened?” Emma asked, thoroughly intrigued now.

This was basically the equivalent of a close friend running into an unbelievably handsome stranger who then burst into tears right in front of her. How could she not be curious?

“Okay, let me tell you exactly how it happened…”

Aria launched into a vivid, animated retelling of her encounter with Rafael.

“So, my ship had just landed, and I was walking pretty fast, and accidentally bumped right into this guy.

‘I hadn’t even said anything yet, and he goes and drops this beat up old device of his straight onto the ground, and it shattered like a spiderweb.

‘Then he bends down to grab it, and wouldn’t you know it, he cuts his finger open somehow. Blood just starts pouring out, dripping onto his white shirt, looking like something straight out of a theater production.”

Emma listened with a furrowed brow. There was something oddly familiar about this whole routine.

‘And then what happened?” she asked quickly.

Aria continued, “Then he starts crying right in front of me, and that’s when the real performance kicked into gear.

‘He told me he came from some lowly star system, some poor student who’d fought tooth and nail just to land a job working the banquet tonight.

‘Then he says the second he arrived, some cruel nobles decided he wasn’t good enough and tore up his work badge, and worse, stole the star coins he needed to buy medicine for his sick little brother.

“By the end, his eyes were all red and glassy, telling me that if the Executive Department guards caught him, he’d get expelled from school and his brother would die without the medicine, so he had no choice but to sell his blood on the black market.

“And the whole time he’s saying this, he’s trying to get down on his knees in front of me, looking so fragile and helpless that any female without her head on straight would’ve melted on the spot.”

Chapter 947 Girls‘ Talk

Emma listened, completely stunned.

Poverty. A sick brother. A broken, tragic man.

No wonder this whole story felt so eerily familiar.

Apparently even out here in the Eempire, this exact routine still worked its magic.

“So, you figured out he was faking it?” Emma asked, studying Aria closely. “So, what did you actually do?”

She wasn’t particularly curious about how attractive this stranger actually was, considering she already had plenty of handsome men surrounding her.

What genuinely intrigued Emma was what Aria had done that had made her show up so late.

Hearing Emma’s question, Aria raised an eyebrow with obvious satisfaction.

“Well, since I saw straight through his little act, I figured I’d play along with my own plan instead.”

Aria took Emma’s hand and led her toward the small garden off to the left of the banquet hall.

Only a few people lingered there, and once she felt confident they had enough privacy, she leaned in and spoke quietly to Emma.

Aria wasn’t worried about anyone else overhearing. She just didn’t want Silas catching wind of what she was about to say, which was exactly why she’d pulled Emma out here first.

“I had Milper go patch up his wound and help him get his stolen star goins back. If he’s willing, he can come back with me tonight. If not, once he gets his money, he’s free to walk away.”

Aria paused there, pursing her lips slightly.

“Sure, I’ve got a weakness for a pretty face, but I’m not stupid. Whether his story was true or not, running into me like that clearly wasn’t an accident.

“So, I gave him a choice instead. Emma, once the banquet’s over, I’ll take you out, and you can see for yourself just how gorgeous this man really is.”

Aria usually came across as carefree and a little scattered, but clearly, she’d stayed sharp enough to recognize a con when she saw

one.

“Hmm…”

Emma opened her mouth to respond with a smile, but right then, a sharp burst of commotion erupted from the direction of the banquet entrance.

The very next instant, a streak of white shot through the air like a kite with its string suddenly cut, crashing down directly in front of her and Aria.

The figure traced a brutal, uncontrolled arc through the air before slamming hard onto the polished, mirror smooth floor.
