Chapter 353: Ch 356: Danger in the Royal Palace
Luna came to see her mother after a very long time and after seeing her, her mother was extremely overjoyed. She was a weak willed woman and after entering the harem of the king, her will had became even weaker.
That was the reason why when Luna was in a depressed state of mind at the beginning stages of her life, she had not managed to help her. She herself was also in a depressed state at that time.
But now that Luna had managed to became famous in the royal palace, she, as her mother, had also started to recover from her depressed state slowly but surely. She really loved her daughter but was never able to express it properly before hand. That made her to feel guilty. But now that she had managed to recover some of her mind, she was planning to apologise to her daughter for all her neglect for all this time.
That was the reason why when Luna returned after such a long time, her mother, Katy invited her to bathe together. There the mother and the daughter had a heart to heart conversation.
This conversation was emotional and Katy started sobbing at the end. Even though Luna was now too mature to openly cry, the corners of her eyes also got a bit moist. Luna had never hated her mother but had never cared much for her either. But now it looked like things like bond of blood was really something tangible as she felt connected to her mother.
This turned out to be a very important thing for Luna and after mending her relationship with her mother, she started to feel extremely great. So after she was done with the bath and came out of the large bathroom, she was in an exceptionally good mood.
But as soon as she came out, she noticed an unsettling atmosphere. Servants were surrounding her from all sides with dangerous looks in their faces. This was definitely not a regular situation.
As Rein and trained Luna quite a bit in the art of combat, she was able to judge her situation immediately and took action. She was not much worried about her own well being.
Without a fourth rank or higher ranking mage taking action, she was very much capable of defending herself perfectly. So her worry was for her mother. So the first thing that she did was to cast a Star affinity barrier spell on her.
The name of the spell was Moon Blockade Barrier. It was a powerful spell that was able to block most of the rank 3 spells. With this protecting her mother, Luna would have some peace of mind.
After that she looked at the servants with very calm eyes. Now that she had made sure that her mother would be alright even if a battle broke out, the slight panic that she had was also gone.
Seeing this, the servants started to feel a bit nervous. Even though Luna was a little girl, they knew that she was a high ranking mage. Even though a few servants were also mages, at most they were a rank 1 mages. So seeing Luna, they also started feeling nervous.
But then a man entered this room. Even though this place was supposed to be only accessible to Luna, her mother and their private servants, this man walked in like it was his backyard. Even though he was not one of the servants working for Luna or her mother.
This man's name was a Mark. Seeing him, the scared servants were finally able to relax. Mark was a rank 3 mage had been in this realm for quite a few years. So they were confident that a little girl like Luna would not be his match. That was the reason why they were able to relax.
Mark was also quite confident in his strength. So with confidence he ordered Luna to stop resisting and to surrender herself to him. But what came to him as a reply was not an agreement but a sword made of starlight.
Mark was taken aback by this sudden attack so he was a bit late to dodge. But still he managed to get out of the way from the starlight sword and it only injured him lightly.
Then as looked at Luna with anger, she cast a flash spell. A brilliant flash of light appeared before his eyes and almost blinded him. When he got back his vision, he found himself in the middle of a spell circle which immediately activated and binded him.
Mark tried to get rid of this binding but to his fear he realised that the binding was extremely tough and he was unable to move at all. Even his mana was completely restrained. This made his blood to became cold. He had never expected Luna to be this powerful.
After restraining Mark, Luna cast another spell to restrain all the other servants easily. They were at most rank 1 mage so it was not a big deal. The only reason why she had not killed them was because she had a lot of questions to ask them.
But before that she asked her mother to go inside the bathroom again. The Interrogation process would became a gory mess for obvious reasons and Luna did not want her weak hearted mother to see a scene like that.
Katy was extremely nervous after seeing people attacking her and her daughter inside the royal palace. But she was able to relax a little after seeing how easily her daughter was able to handle those enemies.
Katy was very impressed by her daughter and was looking at her with stars in her eyes. So when Luna asked her to go inside the bathroom to stay safe, Katy did not say anything and followed Luna's instruction. She did not want to became a weakness for her beloved daughter.
After her mother was out of sight, Luna was ready to start the interrogation. But before she could begin, she felt two powerful auras coming toward this room. So Luna had to stop the interrogation process temporarily and she got ready for another battle.
