Qin Si's voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples across the surface.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and all eyes turned toward the door.
The eldest brother frowned deeply, Lucius clenched his fists, and Aelia's face turned slightly pale.
Only Luna remained quietly nestled in Aelia's arms, her dark eyes sparkling with an unusual light.
"Quickly, please invite the master in!" Aelia took a deep breath, striving to maintain her composure.
Qin Si pushed the door open, followed by none other than Leonard, the Lord of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
He was tall and dressed in an exquisite black Magic Robe, a hint of fatigue on his face, yet his gaze remained sharp.
"What has happened? I seem to have heard you arguing," Leonard's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a hint of authority.
"Nothing much, just the Children playing around," Aelia forced a smile, attempting to mask her unease.
Leonard's gaze swept over everyone before finally resting on Luna.
His expression softened, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"My Xiao Luna, have you been behaving today?"
Luna blinked her eyes but remained silent, merely offering Leonard a sweet smile.
Leonard felt his heart melt; he walked over and gently stroked Luna's small face.
"What a lovely Little One."
"Master, you've been traveling and must be tired; please go rest for a while," Aelia suggested.
"Very well," Leonard nodded and turned to leave.
"Father, please wait," Lucius suddenly said.
Leonard halted and looked back at Lucius. "Is there something you need?"
"I have some matters I would like to discuss with you," Lucius replied.
"Oh? What is it?" Leonard asked with interest as he regarded Lucius.
"It's about family affairs," Lucius stated.
"Family affairs?" Leonard's brow furrowed slightly. "Alright then, let's talk in the study."
With that, Leonard led Lucius away.
Aelia watched Leonard's departing figure, her unease growing stronger by the moment.
She always felt that something was about to happen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
“Qin Si, come here for a moment,” Aelia called out to Qin Si.
Qin Si hurried over. “Madam, what can I do for you?”
“Tell me honestly, has anything strange happened in the castle recently?” Aelia asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Qin Si hesitated, glancing at the people around them, as if unsure whether to speak.
“There are no outsiders here; just say what you need to say,” Aelia urged.
With newfound determination, Qin Si lowered her voice and said, “Madam, there have indeed been some rumors lately. They say… they say the Master has…”
“What has he done?” Aelia's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, making it hard for her to breathe.
“They say the Master has… has another woman outside,” Qin Si's voice grew softer, nearly inaudible.
Aelia felt a jolt in her mind as if struck by lightning; she was completely stunned.
She had been married to Leonard for many years, and they had always been affectionate, admired by everyone in the magical community as a model couple.
She had always believed their relationship was unbreakable, only to realize that it was all just an illusion.
“It’s impossible! This can’t be true!” Aelia cried out, her voice sharp and filled with despair.
Her body began to tremble, and her face turned pale as paper.
“Madam, please don’t be upset; these are just rumors. It may not be true,” Qin Si quickly tried to comfort her.
“Not true? Ha! Not true…” Aelia murmured to herself as tears streamed down her face.
She recalled Leonard's recent odd behavior—how he was always coming home late and seemed distracted around her… all the details pointed to a terrifying truth—Leonard had truly betrayed her.
Years of love and trust shattered in that moment.
Aelia felt as if her world was collapsing; she didn’t know what to do or whom to trust.
“Who is that woman? Who is she?” Aelia grasped Qin Si's hand, asking frantically.
“I… I don’t know either,” Qin Si replied fearfully.
“Go find out! You must find that woman!” Aelia shouted hoarsely, her voice filled with anger and despair.
Qin Si was frightened by Aelia’s demeanor and quickly promised, “Yes, Madam, I will go at once.”
With that, Qin Si hurriedly left.
Aelia slumped helplessly into a chair, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
She felt as if her heart had died, and her love for Leonard had turned into hatred.
“Leonard, why are you doing this to me? Why…” Aelia’s voice trembled, filled with pain and resentment.
Luna watched Aelia quietly, her small face devoid of any expression.
She knew this was just the beginning; a greater storm was yet to come.
Leonard's betrayal was merely a trigger, igniting the crisis within the Glorious Demon Fortress.
And she, Luna, had to use everything she knew to change it all and protect her family.
Her small hands clenched into fists, her gaze resolute and sharp.
“Madam…” Suddenly, Qin Si returned, her complexion even paler.
“What happened? Did you find that woman?” Aelia asked anxiously.
Qin Si shook her head and said, “I… I didn’t find that woman, but… but I found this…”
As she spoke, Qin Si pulled out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Aelia.
Aelia took the letter and opened it with trembling hands.
When she saw the contents of the letter, her face instantly turned pale, and her body began to shake violently.
“No… this can’t be… this can’t be…” Aelia murmured, her voice filled with despair.
She suddenly looked up at Qin Si, “Is… is this true? Is this really true?”
Qin Si dared not meet Aelia’s gaze; she simply lowered her head and said softly, “Madam, I don’t know, but… but this letter was found in the master’s study…”
Aelia’s body jolted violently, the letter in hand falling to the ground.
She leaned weakly against the back of the chair, her eyes hollow and filled with despair.
The room fell silent, only Aelia's soft sobs breaking the stillness.
Luna quietly observed everything, her small face still expressionless, though her eyes grew deeper as if contemplating something.
Her little hand moved slightly as if wanting to do something but ultimately gave up.
She knew it wasn’t the right time yet; she needed to wait for an opportune moment…
Slowly, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly and casting a shadow on her eyelids.
A plan was quietly brewing in her little mind…
