Luna's heart raced with a sudden surge of anxiety.
She clenched her small, chubby fists, trembling slightly, yet her steps were resolute.
She navigated through the narrow passage and entered a dimly lit room.
The air inside seemed to freeze, oppressive enough to suffocate.
In the corner, Lucius lay slumped on a straw mat, his face pale, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
“Brother is sad,” Luna whispered softly, her voice echoing in the silent room like a pebble dropped into a still lake, creating ripples.
Qin Si stood nearby, gasping in shock; her heartbeat felt as if it might leap from her chest.
This revelation was monumental—Ronard was not only a traitor but also a villain who abused his own children.
Qin Si helped Lucius to sit up; he was so weak he could barely stand, but she firmly whispered, “We need to get you out of here.” Deep down, she sensed that the power dynamics within the castle were about to shift.
All of this change stemmed from this mysterious little girl, whose subtle whispers and unsettling wisdom were at the heart of this game.
Luna's gaze held a fierce determination as she turned back and nodded slightly at Qin Si.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Her voice was soft yet brimming with confidence.
Qin Si felt a jolt of admiration.
She realized that the secrets this little one held were far more than she had imagined.
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit study, the atmosphere was thick with tension.
The heavy wooden door creaked open, revealing a small chubby figure standing in the doorway.
Her green eyes sparkled with wisdom beyond her years as she fixed her gaze on the man seated behind the massive oak desk.
This man was none other than Lord Leonard, the master of Glory Castle, his face etched with disdain and arrogance.
“How dare you trespass into my study? You truly are ignorant of your own insignificance,” Leonard's voice was deep and cold, as if it emanated from the depths of the Underground.
His gaze swept over Luna, filled with contempt and scorn.
In his eyes, this little child was nothing more than inconsequential cannon fodder; how dare she invade his territory and challenge his authority?
Luna stood her ground, undeterred by Leonard's imposing presence.
She bit her lip, her heart brimming with resolve.
She knew she had to step forward to reveal the truth for those she loved and change their destiny.
Taking a deep breath, her clear voice echoed in the study: “Do you know, Father? Your betrayal has reached an irreparable point.”
Leonard sprang to his feet, never having imagined that this little girl would dare to speak so boldly against him.
He approached Luna, towering over her, his voice dripping with mockery: “You ignorant little thing, how dare you spout such nonsense? Do you even know your place?”
Luna did not back down; determination shone brightly in her eyes.
“I not only know my place, but I also hold evidence.” She produced a small metal box and gently placed it on the desk.
The magic rune on the box emitted a faint glow in the dim light.
Leonard's face instantly turned pale, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
He reached for the box, opened it, and found a letter along with several photographs inside.
The letter detailed his various evil deeds while keeping Leonard's Concubine, and the photos showed him in intimate moments with that woman during Leonard's Last Night.
"Where did these... these pieces of evidence come from?" Leonard's voice quivered, his heart a chaotic mess filled with fear and anxiety.
He had thought his secret was buried so deeply; who would have guessed that this little one would expose him?
Luna smiled faintly, her expression carrying a hint of determination.
"I already knew all of this, Father. I crossed into this world to change our family's destiny." Her voice, though youthful, was filled with resolve.
At that moment, the study door was pushed open again, and Aelia hurried in.
Her gaze darted between Luna and Leonard before finally landing on the evidence on the table.
Her face went pale as the fantasies of years of love shattered in an instant, shock and pain intertwining on her features.
She trembled as she picked up the letter and photographs from the table, her fingers nearly crushing them.
"Is this true?" Aelia's voice shook so much she could barely speak. She looked at Leonard, her eyes filled with both anger and profound hurt.
Leonard's complexion turned ashen. He quickly defended himself, "My dear, this is all a misunderstanding. They are trying to frame me; these pieces of evidence are forged!" Panic laced his voice as he realized that every move he made had been seen through by this little one.
Aelia's gaze grew resolute, her eyes flickering with flames of anger.
"If you were innocent, would you be so frantic? These pieces of evidence are so conclusive; what more can you say?"
Leonard's face grew increasingly grim, as if the air around him was pressing down, making it hard for him to breathe.
He slumped helplessly in his chair, his eyes filled with despair.
At that moment, he finally became aware that all his schemes and betrayals would be completely exposed in this small study.
Luna stood nearby, watching the scene unfold, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She knew that the balance of power in this household had been irrevocably altered, and this was exactly what she had hoped to see.
"Mother," Luna said softly, "I will continue to expose his plots and bring the truth to light."
Aelia nodded, looking at Leonard with a low but firm voice: "You have nowhere left to retreat."
Leonard's expression darkened further, his hands clenched into fists as if he were making one last desperate struggle.
But at this moment, he had already lost completely.
In the midst of this tense moment, Luna smiled slightly, her voice like a clear spring, calm yet resolute: "Mother, we need more evidence."
Aelia nodded in agreement while Luna stood still, quietly waiting, a faint smile on her face as if everything was under her control.
"Don't worry, Mother; the truth will soon come to light."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luna's gaze suddenly sharpened, revealing a hidden wisdom in her eyes.
She knew that this was just the beginning; a greater storm was about to arrive.
Luna marched over to Leonard's desk, her short legs moving with determination, and in a baby voice declared, "Father, the ledger in your Study Room Secret Compartment records your embezzlement of Magic Castle's Magic Crystal Stones over the years, all to please your… 'that one.' And the Magic Potion Formula you gifted her is a top secret of Magic Castle!" Leonard's face drained of color in an instant, his lips trembling but unable to form a single broken syllable.
Aelia snatched the ledger from Luna's hands, flipping through the shocking numbers and dates that made her stomach churn with nausea, as if she had swallowed a live toad.
The study was thick with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere; the thick curtains blocked out the sunlight, leaving only the flickering firelight from the hearth to illuminate the distorted faces of the three.
Aelia could feel her temples pounding, her blood boiling with anger as it surged through her veins, a buzzing in her ears threatening to explode.
Taking a deep breath, she fought to steady her trembling hands and slammed the ledger against Leonard's face, the sharp edges of the paper cutting into his skin and leaving a small trail of blood.
"What else do you have to say?!" Aelia's voice was like an ice pick, each word piercing like a blade into Leonard's heart.
Leonard collapsed onto the floor, his gaze hollow, like a shell that had lost its soul.
He opened his mouth but could only emit silent sobs, resembling a dying fish gasping for air.
Luna observed everything with a hint of an imperceptible smirk on her youthful face.
The future of the Glorious Demon Fortress would be completely rewritten… "Mother," Luna tugged at Aelia's sleeve, pointing at a small black mark on Leonard's neck, "what is that?"
