Chapter 430 Revelation Part-2
A few hours earlier...

"It's already late!" Luna Dawn shouted, her voice echoing through the room. She glared at Marie, who simply shrugged nonchalantly and said, "You're the one who slept in. It's not my fault."
Luna's frustration bubbled over, "How could you do this to me? You could have at least woken me up!" Her tone was a mix of irritation and desperation, but Marie remained unfazed. She shrugged her shoulders again and replied, "Last time, you nearly killed me when I tried to wake you up. There's no way I'm risking that again."
"Tsk," Luna clicked her tongue in annoyance. She rushed to her wardrobe and began rummaging through it frantically, grabbing the first dress she could find. As she hastily dressed, a sudden realization hit her.
"Where is it?" Luna frowned deeply, her eyes scanning the wardrobe for something she had carefully hidden. Panic began to set in as she couldn't find it.
"Hmm? What are you looking for?" Marie asked, her curiosity piqued as she tilted her head, watching Luna's frantic search.
Luna was startled at the question, quickly trying to compose herself, "N-Nothing," she stammered, hoping to divert Marie's attention.
"Come on, Luna," Marie said with a gentle smile, attempting to reassure her, "Even though we've just become friends... Come on, you can tell me what's missing"
Despite Marie's kind words, Luna shook her head stubbornly. "It's nothing," she insisted, her voice firm but hiding the worry she felt.
Marie simply shrugged again, sensing that pushing further wouldn't get her any answers. Luna continued to ransack her wardrobe, her movements becoming more desperate as clothes and items were tossed aside, creating a chaotic mess.
Her face turned pale as her mind raced. 'W-Where did I put that book?' she wondered in growing anxiety. She clearly remembered taking it with her when she left the castle and placing it securely in her wardrobe, yet now it was gone.
She was the only person who used this room, and she never allowed anyone else in... except,
"Marie," Luna called out, her voice shaky.
"Hmm? What is it, Luna?" Marie responded, tilting her head with a look of innocent curiosity.
Seeing Marie's innocent face, Luna hesitated, torn between suspicion and trust. Her belongings were too important to her to ignore this, "M-Marie, did you see... any kind of book inside my wardrobe?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly with concern.
Marie frowned when she heard Luna's question, "D-Did you think I stole something?"
"N-No, I-I didn't mean it like that..." Luna's face turned pale, realizing the implication of her words. Doubting her only friend could strain their bond, but Luna trusted Marie above all others.
"I-I'm just asking whether you knew anything about it or not. I didn't say anything about stealing," Luna clarified, her voice trembling with apprehension.
Marie's frown softened slightly as she considered Luna's words. After a few seconds of contemplation, she shook her head and replied, "Nope, I never se--"
Suddenly, Marie flinched, her eyes becoming distant as she stared upward.
The door slammed shut with such force it reverberated throughout the corridor as if propelled by an invisible force. Startled by the deafening noise, students from neighbouring rooms rushed out, drawn by curiosity and concern.
"Marie?" Mia's voice trembled with worry as she rushed to her friend's side, bending down to check for any signs of life.
"What happened?" Zera's brow furrowed with concern as she peered into the room.
"S-She's not breathing!" Mia's voice cracked with panic, she then called Aadya!
Meanwhile, Luna stealthily slipped out through the gate, her heart pounding with fear as she got in a taxi and sped towards the teleportation station, her mind racing with worry. She clenched her teeth, biting her lips in apprehension, her thoughts consumed with the fear of someone discovering her secret book.
'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!...' Luna cursed inwardly, her mind swirling with anxiety. If Lucian were to lay eyes on her book, she knew it would spell doom for her. The mere thought sent shivers down her spine. She was certain she would meet her demise.
'What should I do?' Luna pondered frantically, her mind a whirlwind of uncertainty. Should she prepare herself for the unforeseen consequences?
Your adventure continues at empire
"S-Should I call... Eli?" Luna muttered to herself, the idea fleeting as quickly as it came. She couldn't bear to involve that innocent man in her chaotic past.
She hesitated for a moment before dialling...
"Alex?"
"Yes, Luna?"
"... I-I need your help"
".... I'm sorry Luna, but I'm currently busy."
"A-Alex, this is really serious--"
"Then why don't you call your side chick?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about?"
"Tsk, don't act like you don't know, Luna... Your side chick... the damn uncle... Asher Eli!"
"...." Luna's expression darkened, her heart sinking as she shook her head in denial, "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Alex, but I really--"
'Beep, Beep'
Luna stared in shock as Alex abruptly ended the call.
