Luna's cries were sharp and piercing, like a small knife scraping at Aelia's heart.
She couldn't understand why her daughter was suddenly so agitated, assuming it was just a child's emotional outburst.
Yet Ke Luna's small hand stubbornly pointed toward Leonard's study, her voice intermittently calling out "bad... bad..." The deep blue of her eyes sparkled with an intensity and... anger that belied her age.
A chill ran through Aelia, an unsettling premonition rising within her.
Following the direction of Luna's finger, she noticed the study door was tightly closed, as if it were sealing away all secrets.
Luna's cries grew louder, as if trying to tear apart the facade of calm.
"Qin Si, go see what the master is doing," Aelia's voice trembled slightly. She struggled to control her emotions, not wanting to show any signs of distress in front of her daughter.
Qin Si obeyed and gently knocked on the study door.
Moments later, Leonard's voice came from inside, "What is it?"
"Master, the lady and young miss are outside..." Qin Si hadn't finished speaking when Leonard abruptly interrupted him, "I said no one is to disturb me without my permission!"
A crash echoed from within the study, and Luna's cries intensified.
Aelia's face turned pale in an instant, a mix of betrayal and anger burning within her heart.
She pushed past Qin Si and forcefully opened the study door.
Leonard stood at the desk, his expression dark, shards of porcelain scattered across the floor.
Upon seeing Aelia burst in, he was momentarily taken aback before roaring, "What are you doing?!"
Luna stopped crying, her eyes fixed intently on Leonard.
She extended her little finger towards Leonard and said in a baby voice, "Bad... Uncle... hiding..."
Aelia's heart sank suddenly. She looked at Leonard and asked each word deliberately, "What are you hiding?"
Leonard's gaze flickered as he avoided Aelia's eyes, forcing himself to remain calm. "It's nothing, just some important documents."
"Important documents?" Aelia scoffed. She walked over to the desk and abruptly pulled back the tablecloth.
A letter lay quietly on the table.
The elegant tiny inscriptions on the envelope stung Aelia's eyes.
They were the tiny inscriptions she knew all too well; they belonged to her husband's concubine!
The contents of the letter struck Aelia like a thunderbolt.
Years of loving fantasies shattered in that moment.
Her world seemed to collapse around her, plunging her into darkness.
"How could this happen... how could this happen..." Aelia murmured, tears silently streaming down her face.
Seeing this, Qin Si hurried over to support Aelia and gently comforted her, "Madam, you must take care of yourself..."
Aelia tightly grasped Qin Si's hand, her body trembling slightly.
She took a deep breath, striving to calm herself.
She couldn't fall apart; she still had Luna and three sons...
“Qin Si, help me to rest,” Aelia's voice was hoarse and weak.
Qin Si supported Aelia as they left the study, leaving Leonard standing alone, his face pale with anger.
Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Brother San rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing their mother’s haggard appearance filled them with rage and concern.
“Mother, what happened?” Eldest Brother asked with genuine worry.
Aelia recounted the events to her three sons, and their faces were filled with shock and anger upon hearing her story.
“That beast!” Second Brother gritted his teeth. “I’m going to confront him right now!”
“Calm down, Second Brother,” Eldest Brother stopped him. “Now is not the time.”
“Eldest Brother, are we just going to stand by and watch Mother suffer?” Brother San said indignantly.
“Of course not.” A glint of determination flashed in Eldest Brother's eyes. “We need to plan carefully; we must make that beast pay!”
The three brothers’ gazes were resolute. They knew they had to protect their mother and safeguard the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Lucius stood aside, watching everything unfold before him, filled with astonishment.
He hadn’t expected Luna to possess such abilities.
His perception of his sister had changed.
There was now a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Luna observed everything with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. She knew this was just the beginning…
“Mother,” Luna suddenly spoke, “I want to eat dessert.”
Aelia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently, “Alright, Mother will have someone prepare it for you.”
Luna's small hand tightly gripped Aelia's hem, seemingly innocently enjoying her dessert, while in reality, her thoughts had already soared far beyond the clouds.
The Glorious Demon Fortress appeared indestructible, yet it was fraught with danger, like a magnificent shell that could crumble at any moment.
Leonard's betrayal was merely the spark; the deeper issue lay in the decay within the Magic Castle and the external forces lurking with malicious intent.
Luna licked her fingers smeared with cream, the Milk Fragrance lingering on her lips, yet it did nothing to ease her vigilance.
What she needed to do was not only expose Leonard's true nature but also completely alter the Destiny of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
“Qin Si,” Luna called in a baby voice, her tone carrying an undeniable authority, “bring me my Singing Toy Box.” Although Qin Si was puzzled, he complied.
Luna rummaged through the Singing Toy Box and finally pulled out an unremarkable puppet. The puppet was roughly carved but faintly emanated a strange power.
She fixed her gaze on the puppet, a glint of cunning flashing in her deep blue eyes.
“Tomorrow,” Luna's tone suddenly turned somber, as if she were speaking to herself, “guests will come to visit…” She looked up at the window; the last rays of the setting sun bathed her face, adding a touch of mystery to her youthful features.
