Chapter 741: Flight to Catadrid



"What time does our flight leave, Ayia-nee?" Aurora asked as the group stood in the foyer of the manor, only the four of them remaining.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmmm, I told our pilot that we'd be leaving between 10 and 11 AM," Ayia replied, glancing at her phone to check the time.

"Pilot?" Aurora asked with a confused expression.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, Aurora-chan. We'll be flying on mine and Shizuka's private airplane." Ayia smiled brightly.

"What?" Aurora's eyes widened, her surprise evident.

Theo, already aware of the arrangement, chuckled at his sister's reaction. He watched the curiosity flash across her face as she tried to process the sudden revelation.

"I never knew you two had a private plane," Aurora said, looking between Ayia and Shizuka, now thoroughly impressed.

"Well, the plane isn't exactly ours. It belongs to our family, but it's basically ours," Shizuka explained, her voice steady as ever.

"That's so cool!" Aurora's excitement bubbled up, her wide grin spreading across her face.

"Maybe you should ask your brother for a private plane as well," Ayia teased, her voice light with amusement. "Now that Moonlight is so famous, he has more than enough money to buy one."

Aurora immediately looked at Theo, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Theo, however, sighed in exasperation.

"For what reason would you need a private plane?" he asked, gently knocking on her head. "You barely leave Elffire City."

"Ouch!" Aurora feigned pain with exaggerated drama. "I'm just saying, no need to beat me!"

Theo rolled his eyes as Ayia and Shizuka broke into laughter at the siblings' playful banter. Aurora's mock performance earned her a shake of the head from her brother, but the atmosphere in the room remained light.

"Okay, cut it out." Theo finally said, his voice filled with amused resignation. "Have you finished packing up?"

"Almost," Aurora replied, bouncing on her heels. "What about the outfits I'll wear during the concert and the award ceremony, big brother?"

"You should ask Ayia for that," Theo said, turning his gaze toward Ayia. "She was the one responsible for all that."

"Of course! As Moonlight's agent, I have to be the one responsible for these kinds of things." Ayia smiled, her voice taking on a playful but business-like tone. "Don't worry, I've been working closely with a renowned fashion stylist over the past couple of months. The outfits for both of you are incredible-you're going to steal the show, trust me."

Aurora's eyes lit up at the thought. "Really? Can we look at them now?"

"Not now," Ayia replied with a mysterious smile. "The outfits are already in Catadrid. I want to show you in person once we get there. It'll be more fun that way."

"Ah, what a pity," Aurora sighed but quickly added, "I can't wait to see them!"

"As soon as we land in Catadrid, we'll have a busy schedule getting ready for tonight's concert. One of the first things we'll do is try on the outfits, so you'll see them soon," Ayia reassured her with a smile.

After a bit more conversation, Ayia and Shizuka headed back to their nearby manor to finish packing, while Theo and Aurora did the same. Shizuka would drive them all to the airport later, and Theo needed to prepare a few extra boxes filled with instruments and equipment he planned to use during the concert.

By the time they all piled into the car, the sun had risen high, casting a warm, golden light across the winding streets of Elffire City. Shizuka drove with her usual calm, guiding them smoothly toward the airport. In the backseat, Theo and Aurora sat together, with Ayia on Theo's other side, her hand resting casually on his.

"You know," Aurora said, her voice breaking the peaceful hum of the car, "it's kind of surreal, isn't it? Flying to Catadrid on a private plane because of Moonlight."

Theo smiled but didn't reply immediately. He knew what she meant. His life had taken a dramatic turn ever since his debut as Moonlight. The idea of performing live in front of thousands of fans, competing for the most prestigious music awards-none of it had sunk in completely.

"Yeah," he finally said. "It feels... surreal. But it's exciting."

Ayia squeezed his hand gently, her smile radiating pride. "You've worked so hard for this, Theo. Tonight will be unforgettable."

Shizuka glanced at them through the rearview mirror, her expression soft but focused as she drove. "You've earned this moment," she added. "Don't forget to enjoy it."

The drive to the airport took less than an hour, and soon they arrived at the private terminal where Ayia's family plane awaited them. It was sleek, with a white exterior and elegant gold accents, its size modest but perfect for a small group. As they unloaded the car, Aurora couldn't help but stare at the plane in awe.

"I've never flown in something like this," she said, her voice tinged with excitement.

"You'll get used to it," Ayia said with a wink, grabbing her bags. "Shizuka and I have been flying on it since we were little."

Theo lifted a few boxes of equipment from the car, placing them onto a cart that was waiting nearby. Once everything was loaded, they made their way toward the jet, Shizuka staying behind.

"Good luck tonight," Shizuka said to Theo as she gave him a hug. "I'll be watching from here."

"Thanks, Shizuka," he replied, appreciating her calm support. "And good luck running the restaurant. I trust you'll do great."

Shizuka nodded, a small but confident smile on her lips. "The Spark is in good hands. Don't worry about a thing."

"Bye, Shizu-chan!" Ayia gave a bear hug to her sister soon after, "Root for us!"

"Don't worry, I'll be." She laughed as she hugged her back.

"By, Shizu-nee!" Aurora gave her a hug soon after, "Don't forget to watch me on TV!"

Shizuka laughed as she hugged her back, "I'll be watching you for sure."

With a final wave, Shizuka watched as the three of them boarded the plane. Inside, the cabin was luxurious yet comfortable, with wide leather seats, polished wood panels, and large windows offering breathtaking views. Aurora immediately claimed the seat next to the window, her face lighting up as she peered outside.

"Wow, this is so nice," she said, clearly impressed.

Ayia laughed as she sat down across from her. "It's nice, isn't it? Makes traveling a lot easier."

Theo took his seat beside Ayia, settling into the soft leather. He watched as the pilot came out to greet them, giving a quick rundown of the flight details. The journey to Catadrid would take a few hours, but with the comfort of the plane and the excitement of the events ahead, Theo knew the time would fly by.

Soon, the engines roared to life, and the plane smoothly ascended into the sky. As they climbed higher, the view from the windows transformed into a sprawling panorama of Elffire City, its skyscrapers glinting in the sunlight, eventually fading into the clouds as they soared

above them.

Aurora spent much of the flight with her face pressed against the window, marveling at the sights below, but when she got tired of it, she drifted into a soft sleep, while Ayia and Theo chatted quietly about the concert and the preparations waiting for them in Catadrid. Despite the calm atmosphere, there was an undercurrent of anticipation-a shared excitement for the night ahead when Moonlight would finally step onto the stage.

After a few hours, the pilot's voice crackled over the intercom, announcing their descent into Catadrid. Theo glanced out the window just in time to catch a glimpse of the city's iconic skyline, its architecture a blend of historic grandeur and modern design.

"We're almost there," Ayia said, leaning forward in her seat.

Aurora turned from the window, her expression filled with both awe and excitement. "I can't

believe we're actually here."

Theo smiled as the plane touched down smoothly on the runway. The excitement in the air was palpable now, buzzing just beneath the surface. Tonight, Moonlight would take the stage for the first time, and tomorrow, they'd attend the Saphire Music Awards.

As they taxied toward the private terminal, Theo took a deep breath, feeling the weight of what was to come to settle over him. But it wasn't a burden-it was the exhilarating thrill of stepping into the unknown, of embracing the next chapter in a journey that was only just

beginning.
