Transmigrated as side character, I will steal all the heroines-Chapter 18: A Beautiful Night Under The Moon

The night is deep, silvery moon dotted with the dark night sky, and the cheerful stars are running around her, chasing and playing.

Under the beautiful night sky, a beautiful girl was sitting on her balcony. Dazing at the sight of the blinking star.

She looks at the sky and sighed in helplessness. The events today still lingers on her mind.

A man came to return her lost purse and in return, she asks her for a dinner. She felt bad to turn down the man, so she reluctantly agreed.

But then, they were harassed by a group of evil-looking people. When she felt all hope is lost, the man turned into a knight on the white horse and saved her from danger.

The story progression was very cliche, but to a pure girl who still believed in fairytale like Emi, she felt that she finally met her fated one.

She thought that God has felt sorry for her and decided to gave her an unforgettable memory of love before she would be engaged and married for the benefit of her family.

Emi Eleanore, the student council president. From the outside, it looks like that her life was perfect. She was a beautiful girl and born to an influential family in Maple-leaf City, it was a dream of countless girls.

However, the reality was not as sweet as a dream. As a member of an influential family, all of her freedom was restricted. She didn't have any friends and the people around her only treat her as a tool.

Her mother has passed away when she was 5, and since then her father never treats her the same. It seems like her father has lost interest in her, and had always stay outside for work, leaving no time for the small pitiful Emi.

Things got worse when she was 10. She was suddenly engaged with an heir of another influential family in maple-leaf town.

She tried to resist, but the elder of the family told her that it was for the good of the family.

From then on, she started to put up her cold outside appearance. She knows that she has no freedom, and her life was not her own.

She could only hope that one day, a knight in shining armor would come and take her away. Take her far from this prison and live happily ever after like in the fairytale.

Nonetheless, everything was only her fantasy. The knight she thought she has finally found today was nothing more than a scammer.

Emi finished her deep night thought and was about to get back to her room, but then a voice came out of nowhere.

" I heard that the Eleanore family has a beautiful jewel in it, so I came here to steal it."

At first, Emi was a bit startled by the sudden interruption from the voice, but soon her voice was filled with a sneer.

" It was the first time I saw someone so daring to intrude the Eleanore mansion to steal something. With the strict supervision of this mansion, you will be lucky just to catch a glimpse of the jewel."

She had never known about the presence of the jewel. Her family had never told her anything important about the family. Still, with the wealth of the Eleanore family, it wouldn't be strange if there really was a precious jewel in the mansion.

Emi was pretty curious about the daring thief, she eyed him up from top to bottom and noticed that his outfit was nothing like a thief. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

The thief was wrapped in ancient Chinese clothing with maple-leaf patterns in it. He looks more like a scholar rather than a thief.

" I'll tell you something interesting. I don't dare to say that I would certainly able to take the jewel right now, but if it just takes a glimpse at the beauty of the jewel-"

The thief stopped his words and take out something from his robe.

Emi was instantly warry at the gesture of the thief. She was afraid that he would take out a gun and use her as a hostage.

She was ready to scream the instant he takes out something dangerous, but what the thief took out was out of her prediction.

The thief took out a hand mirror and put it in front of Emi.

" I don't need to get in to see the most beautiful jewel. Because I have seen it right before my eyes."

Blush instantly filled Emi's mind. Her face became redder than tomato and her heart beats faster than usual.

" I - "

Emi was about to say something, but the thief's index finger caught her mouth, indicating her to keep silent.

" The beautiful lady didn't need to say anything. I was here because my friend told me that a beautiful lady was in trouble, so I came to offer a little poem of mine."

.

" The setting sun and the fading light"

" Gives way to the moon so white"

" In this world full of unfairness"

" I would rather have a body full of scars"

" And a head full of memories"

" Than a life of regrets"

" And perfect skin."

.

" Well, I hope the humble poem of mine could accompany the beautiful lady to her sleep, and grant her a momentary safeness."

With the words being said, just like the appearance of the thief, he walked away and instantly vanished out of thin air.

Emi was still in a haze. The words of the thief shook her fragile hurt and strike right where it hurts.

She always felt that her life was not hers and it was full of regret. Who knows that a simple poem could light the fire in her heart which was almost died out.

Emi raised her head and tried to find the missing thief. His emergence was bizarre, but she didn't care about it anymore.

She tried her best but it was futile. She couldn't even find a trace of another person on her balcony.

" Humph, he could at least tell me his name before he leaves."

Feeling a little bit frustrated, Emi walks away from her balcony and turns into her bed. Only to found a small piece of paper with notes on it.

' Dear beautiful lady,

I have written my humble poem at the back of this paper, 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Hoping you could hold it and remember it when you were down.

-Sincerely, Rochen. '
