Aunt Cessy's murmurs grew closer, accompanied by the flapping sound of wings, and the door burst open with a loud bang.
A pitch-black creature, its eyes glowing with an eerie green light, rushed into the room, flapping its enormous wings like a cloud of darkness.
Luna, who was hiding in Aelia's arms, let out a terrified cry, her small face pale as she clung tightly to Aelia's neck.
The creature resembled a giant raven, but its feathers looked more like black flames, flickering in the air and exuding a strange aura.
Its sharp cry pierced the silence like nails scraping against a chalkboard, sending chills down their spines.
“Lucius! What on earth are you doing?” Aelia's voice was filled with anger as she gently patted Luna's back, trying to soothe her frightened little heart.
A figure darted out from behind the creature—it was Lucius, the Third Young Master of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
His fiery red hair was somewhat disheveled, and he wore an awkward smile on his face.
“Mother, I… I just wanted to bring Luna a gift…”
“A gift? You call this a gift?” Aelia shot him a glare. “That thing could scare someone to death! Get it out of here!”
Luna continued to cry, her small body shaking as tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
Seeing Luna so distressed, her older brother Edgar approached and gently held her in his arms, casting a reproachful look at Lucius.
“Lucius, you’ve gone too far! Luna is still so young; how can she handle such a fright?”
Lucius looked aggrieved and scratched his head. “Brother, I… I really didn’t know it would scare Luna. I just thought it looked cool…”
He stepped closer to Luna, trying to comfort her. “Luna, I’m sorry. Big brother was wrong. Please don’t cry…”
However, Luna turned her head away and refused to look at him, crying even harder.
The Little One, usually so attached to Lucius, was refusing to forgive him today.
Lucius stood awkwardly in place, at a loss. This little girl really held a grudge!
At that moment, Second Brother Frederick approached. His face was still somewhat pale, but his eyes were filled with warmth.
He glanced at the Magic Pet and said softly, “Lucius, take it to the Magic Pet Garden. It’s a better place for it.”
“But…” Lucius wanted to say something more, but Frederick silenced him with a look.
“Luna’s safety is the most important thing.” Frederick’s voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable authority.
Reluctantly, Lucius took the Magic Pet and left.
Brother Oliver watched the scene unfold with a slight smile on his lips.
He gently settled Luna and Lucius on the bed, and the room returned to calm.
Luna sniffled, her small hands tightly gripping the bedsheet.
Suddenly, she remembered something and pulled out a sparkling Magic Fruit from beneath her pillow, holding it out to Lucius.
“Here…” she said softly, tears glistening in her eyes.
Lucius looked at the saliva-covered Magic Fruit, still with a bit of dirt on it, and made a face of disgust.
“What is this? It’s filthy!” He tossed the Magic Fruit onto the floor. “Who would want to eat this thing?”
Tears began to well up in Luna’s eyes again, but she held back her sobs.
Seeing Luna's pitiful expression, Lucius felt his heart soften.
He sighed, pulled a delicate Magic Cookie from his pocket, and handed it to Luna.
"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. Here, take this."
Luna took the cookie and carefully took a bite, a smile finally breaking across her face.
As night deepened, Lucius lay in bed and quickly fell asleep.
However, Luna lay wide-eyed, staring at him with a blank expression.
"Baka Brother..." she murmured softly, then curled up in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees.
The room was silent, filled only with Lucius's steady breathing.
Suddenly, a strange magical sound filled Luna's ears, like someone whispering or the growl of a beast.
Fearful, Luna covered her ears, her body trembling.
The magical sound grew clearer and more piercing, as if it were trying to burrow into her mind...
In his sleep, Lucius turned over and mumbled drowsily, "Be quiet..."
At that moment, the magical sound abruptly ceased.
It receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace.
Luna's small body continued to tremble slightly, the lingering fear wrapping around her like cold vines.
The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the floor and illuminating her pale little face.
She slowly lowered her hands that had been covering her ears, her fingertips still tingling from the pressure she had applied earlier.
The room was quiet, filled only with Lucius's steady breathing and the occasional chirp of insects in the distance.
Luna stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, her gaze vacant as her thoughts drifted aimlessly.
What was that haunting sound?
How could a single word from Lucius make it disappear?
Could it be that Baka Brother… was actually a hidden Great Mage?
The thought flickered through her mind, and Luna couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. How could that possibly be true?
Baka Brother couldn’t even pronounce the simplest Ancient Spell…
She rubbed her eyes, fatigue washing over her like a tide, her eyelids growing heavier.
In a daze, Luna glanced at the sleeping Lucius beside her and murmured softly, “Good night, Baka Brother…” before drifting into a deep sleep.
Qin Si entered the room quietly with a basin of water, surprised to find Luna sleeping so soundly, a faint smile gracing her lips.
“How strange…” she whispered to herself. “This Little One was just… last night…”
