      FMV 52 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 52   Aurelia thought she was hearing things. Me? I have to go up there? Where? Of course, standing on a stage had always been something she dreamed of. But not like this. No, I must have heard him wrong. Every time Leonard took one step closer to her and she took one step backward toward the wall, Leonard's eyes sparkled. Aurelia thought she knew what that look meant. “You played it, didn't you? In the practice room when no one was there. The E minor…

      FMV 51 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 51   “Do you really think this situation makes any sense? You don’t even have an accompanist right now, and there’s no way you can go on stage alone. Yet the audience is coming in, excited to see Leonard Deimus perform. Even the reporters have gathered here to listen to your music and write their columns!” “You’re quite good at going on about things I already know.” “This is not the time for you to say things like that! Don’t you understand what I’m…

      FMV 50 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 50   By the time the tears that had flowed endlessly without stopping finally dried up, it was already morning. It also meant that the time to see Aiden again was approaching. After washing her face with cold water to reduce the swelling around her eyes as much as possible, Aurelia greeted David in a weak voice. “I’ll be back.” “With that face?” Aurelia could only give a weak smile at David’s reaction. She had already seen how terrible her face looked in the…

      FMV 49 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 49   Aiden was already standing a step away, staring only at her lips. Yet, somehow, she felt more suffocated now than when she was wrapped in his arms. She had agonized over what to say dozens—hundreds—of times, but now, standing right in front of him, the words wouldn't come out. Aurelia was someone who had always tried to live without hurting anyone. ‘And yet, in the end, I have to hurt the person I cherish the most.’ Of all people, why did it have to be Aiden? Why did he have…

      FMV 48 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 48   “I never had any intention of telling you in the first place. What’s the point when I already know what you’d say?” Aiden let out a faint sigh and bowed his head deep at Leonar’s words. It was half true, half lie. He knew all too well how Leonar would react if he confessed what had transpired between Aurelia and himself: a baseline level of indifference, coupled with a string of harsh, biting remarks spawned by that very apathy. ‘Still, the truth is I really wanted to…

      FMV 47 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 47   At Aurelia’s words, David merely shook his head and let out a gentle laugh. She had turned him down so coldly, yet here she was back home, wearing her discomfort on her sleeve, asking how he could possibly know. “It’s not just because you’re my daughter... Lily, you’re simply far too easy to read.” David meant every word of it. That was why he felt all the more sorry for Aiden, who hadn't even noticed the heart of this easy-to-read woman before jumping headfirst into a…

      FMV 46 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 46   It was a question packed with many meanings. From the very beginning, there had been no assumption that Aurelia would become a pianist. The question was meant to ask why she wouldn't marry him instead of choosing between becoming a copyist or a tutor. "I have plenty of plans. I’ll tell you the details later. Nothing is set in stone yet." "Are you going to keep working under someone else? If that's the case..." Aiden paused for a moment. Seeing him take a deep breath, it seemed as…

      FMV 45 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 45   “Yes, I’ll sit wherever I want. There isn’t a specific seat you want me to take, right?” “Why are you asking something so obvious?” If it was a seat Aurelia liked, then Aiden would like it too. It had always been that way throughout Aiden’s life. If Aurelia liked something, then Aiden could not help but like it too, no matter what it was. Just because Aurelia liked it was enough. ‘How many things have I come to like just because she likes them?’ That was…

      FMV 44 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 44   Although Maria was not born with as much talent as Aurelia, she loved music just as much as Aurelia did. That was why she had enrolled in the Zerphium Conservatory in the first place. However, Maria preferred listening to music rather than playing it herself. She often arrived late to class or fell asleep on exam days because she was busy trying to get tickets to famous musicians' performances. Whenever Aurelia saw Maria's head bobbing back and forth in front of her, even she would…

      FMV 43 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 43   It was around the time Aurelia had completely adapted to being Leonard's copyist. Only after seeing that she had adjusted well did Leonard allow Aurelia to have a day off for the first time. Thanks to that, Aurelia was able to enjoy a leisurely morning at home, reading the newspaper that had been delivered early in the morning. Rising Composer, Lucius Hartmann. Who Is He? The promising young musician's choice is none other than Lucius Hartmann... The daily Coda…
