The curtain of night fell on the sky, and the silence of the lord's hall was broken by a sudden sound. Moon, who was dizzy with anger, smashed the wine glass in the study again.

"Smack", this sound made the maids waiting outside the study shudder.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

A maid with a bottle of wine on a silver platter had just entered. She found the empty bottle still on the table, but the glass was gone. She hurriedly put down her wine, and because she was wearing armor, she had to get down on one knee. "My lord, I'm going to get you a new cup. She kept her head down, waiting for Moon's permission.

Moon looked at the maid squarely, and slammed his fist into the table.

"Where's Zachary?"

Before his fist touched the table, Moon stopped. His control of force was almost perfect, leaving the gap between his fist and the table only finger-thick.

However, Moon's vertical fist directly set off a gust of wind and blew away the official document on the table. He didn't ask the maid to clean up the table, nor did he care about whether the maid's sword hung properly at her waist as usual, and directly waved his hand to let the maid leave. He's panting in anger.

"Damn it! Spread Zachary, and Lynn! I have to make the guy who killed Amo pay!" Moon shouted angrily.

At that time, the guards outside the door immediately gave the order. The order was passed from the mouth of one guard to the ears of another, and then to the people Moon wanted to summon.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, here I am. ”

Lynn was outside the door. He had been standing for a long time, and even knew when the cup had broken. He hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Amo's body, I've taken care of it. As for night tours, there is indeed a price to pay. Cousin, we should take this opportunity to get rid of Kryze!" Lynn pretended to hate the Night Wandering Church, her face flushed, and her hands clenched into fists on either side of her legs.

"Sit down...... Lynn, we'll talk about that later, wait for Zachary to come over. You go get a bottle of wine, there's still a secret door under the table. It was a century-old sauce drink, and I took it out and drank it myself. ”

As he spoke, Moon let his gaze wander over his cousin, Lynn, who was eight years younger than him, and gestured to the desk to the left. The desk he was referring to was a modular cabinet with two small square cabinets supporting a rectangular top with drawers on top, facing the study doorway to the east. On the west side of the desk is a chair with red paint off, and on the east side is a bench. And the secret door, which is just inside the small cabinet on the north side under the desk.

So, Lynn glanced at the small cabinet.

"My cousin, it's so sad that your friend was assassinated by the Church. At that time, I was hunting from afar. By the time I found out, he and several of his subordinates were dead, and the Night Wandering Church sword was still on Amo's body. ”

Lynn thought back to what had happened in the woods. After he killed Amo in the forest, three Moongazing Knights who heard the shouts hurried and were killed by Lynn one after another. Lynn searched around carefully before leaving, and was relieved that no one showed up.

"Do you know what I meant by asking you to come?" Moon said after soothing the turmoil in his heart.

"Of course, because we need to give the night tour church a look. Although Amo's status is not very good, we are small. If you send me, I'll be glad to do it. Not only will I show them color, but I'll also destroy them with my own hands!"

Lynn allowed the anger she had shown to turn into sadness. Familiarly, he took the wine from the secret door under his desk, unplugged it, took a sip, and sat down on the bench without fear.

"But there's one thing, I don't know what you're going to think. This morning, Amo was going to meet with you, and he told me in advance. My dear cousin, about this...... What are you going to say?"

Moon originally intended to ask Lynn if the matter had anything to do with him, but left a little leeway, wanting to wait for Lynn to explain in person. He walked away from the window, walked over to his desk, and gently patted Lynn on the shoulder.

"Forget it...... Cousin, you have to trust me, there is no way I will kill Amo. If I did such a thing, how could I be in front of you? I'm so much smarter than your men. Lynn feigned unpleasantness and pouted.

"You must know about those letters, don't you?" said Moon, tentatively. He carefully watched Lynn's expression change.

"Of course, your friend told me, but that's in the past. And what kind of guy I am, you know very well. Now that Bennett is dead, I don't think about it anymore. Actually, you know that I covet power...... ...... also greedy," Lynn said without hesitation.

Seeing that Lynn was not scared at all, Moon's anger swelled up. He took a step forward and threw a punch that caused Lynn to flip over with the bench, and the bottle of wine spilled Lynn in the face.

Lynn was lying on the ground, trying to get up and being trampled on the back of her left hand by Moon.

"Tell me, my dear cousin, how much you want the territory of the Mochizuki Plains?" Moon grinded Lynn's hand hard.

"Okay, cousin...... Then you just wait for Zachary to come! maybe, he has something to say. ”

Lynn lifted Moon's right leg with her right hand to free herself from the restraints, and sat down in the chair on the west side. He was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth when he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock...... Boom...... Knock Knock...... Knock ......"

Zachary rhythmically knocked on the door. Every time he appears here, he must have confidential information with him, and this code is a reminder to Moon - if there are people in the hall, whether it is necessary to let the people inside avoid suspicion. Over time, this became his habit, and it hasn't changed.

"Come in, Zachary. Moon heard Zachary speak clearly.

"My lord, I heard about Amo. I know you're trying to ask Amo something. This morning, if only I had been in the hunting woodlands earlier...... I don't know how to express my apologies...... I'm sorry. When I rushed over, Lynn was also walking that way. Zachary closed the door and got down on one knee.

"So I sent you there this morning, and you're late?" Moon was furious.

"My lord, I came on time, but Amo is probably there for a long time. ”

Zachary pondered what had happened in the morning. He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong. He hadn't heard any fighting or shouting in the forest until he spotted Lynn—he thought, maybe it was because of the distance.

"Zachary, I trust you. ”

Moon sighed, then walked over to the chair.

Lynn quickly stepped out of the way and straightened the chair. "Cousin...... Now, shouldn't we be ready to make plans to get rid of the night-traveling church?" he said with a smile.

"Wait. ”

Moon was grieving over Amo's affairs. He didn't want to rush into the plan, he wanted to find out the cause of Amo's death. As someone who had experienced the war, he knew that if he wanted to wage war against the Night Wandering Church, he had to deal with the affairs of his camp first, otherwise a fire in the courtyard would have serious consequences.

"Cousin, this ...... You're the lord of the city, and it's up to you anyway. Lynn bowed unconvinced. Before leaving, he also reminded the maid outside the door to clean up the city lord's room.

Seeing Lynn leave, Moon gave orders to Zachary. "Zachary, send my cronies back to keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything bad to me. You know what I mean?"

"Of course, you will always be your loyal swordsman! Retire below!" Zachary got up, and slowly exited the room.

Now, Moon is left alone in the study. He was looking at the northwest corner where the statue of Luz Grimrose was placed, and on the east side of the statue was the weapons rack. The sword on the shelf has not been touched by Moon for more than five years, and it has survived for more than 2,000 years since May 1811 in the age of the gods.

"Mochizuki long sword ......," Moon couldn't help but sigh.

"The day the Order was sealed began the Age of the Gods, and the year 1,922 before the Age of the Elder was the Age of the Gods. It was the time of the first Divine Knight and Bryson, the Supreme King of Order. Now, if I can access the power of the moon god, then I can get rid of the control of the orderly, I don't need to be anyone's puppet, and the future will be up to me. Moon looked forward and whispered to himself.

"Father, are you there?"

Lily Van wore a black dress with lilies embroidered with gold thread. She was born at the end of spring, at the age of eighteen, with blond hair in a shawl, just like her mother, and even her face was melon-seeded. At this point, she was holding a handful of fresh lavender in her hand.

"Lily?" Moon heard his daughter's sweet voice, immediately put down his sword and walked to the door.

"Father, see what I've brought back?"

Lily waited for Moon to open the door. As soon as Moon opened the door, Lily pounced on Moon and gave him a hug. Moon had a smile on his face, and he put everything behind him.

"Perhaps, as long as my daughter is happy and happy now, let's talk about the rest. Go, Lily, and accompany Father to the garden. Moon hugged Lily, who was leaning against her chest, and walked out of the room.

Lily's face was filled with a happy smile. The well-behaved boy had no idea what Moon was doing. All she knew was that her father had secured the conditions for the people of Mochizuki Plains to survive from the Order Clan—to help the Order rule the land, bring the ashes back to life, and find the whereabouts of the God of Light.

A father who sacrificed himself to save everyone is a puppet of the Order Clan to others, but to Lily he is a hero and a loving father.

Of course, Lily knew that Moon was busy and often stayed up late in the study. Still, she learned a lot from the maid. She knew that Moon would ask the maid about whether she had eaten breakfast or not, and even cared about what kind of clothes she would wear all day for bad weather.

At one point, Lily was asked by Amo how the day was. Then Amo told Lily, "Look, your father has mentioned you again." That's why I helped him come to see you. ”

Therefore, Lily still couldn't help it.

"Where's Uncle Amo?, it's time for him to take me to see Sister Eileen. Lily tilted her head and looked into Moon's eyes.

Lily was right. It's strange that Momo didn't fulfill his promise with my well-behaved daughter today. Perhaps, he was busy with the urgent matter at hand. Another day, my father is with you to visit Bishop Eileen. Moon laughed and tickled Lily, making her laugh.

"Well, but what about the gift you spoke of last time?" asked Lily, with crooked eyes, "where did you hide it again this time?" ”

"Hmm...... Guess what, there's another gift for you. Moon teased Lily.

Turning in front of you, you will find the garden in the courtyard of the lord's hall. In the garden are white lilies. Moon let go of Lily and leaned over to smell the flowers. These flowers were planted by Moon for his lover. Lily comforted Moon by kissing him on the cheek.

"Good boy, these things are in the past, but I can't forget them. I'll make them pay!, definitely!" Moon swore as he shook Lily's hand, "They will pay for your mother!"

"Father, Mother doesn't want you to bleed. Me too. Lily had tears in her eyes.

"This ...... I get it. But they must pay the debt with blood, and this is the retribution they deserve!" Moon hugged Lily tightly. His face was sad.

"Uncle Amo, he'...... Actually, he was killed. I knew it all the time, I knew it early in the morning, it was said by Lynn when she came here. Lily said. She buried her head in Moon's arms.

"I'm sorry, my Lily, I didn't want to lie. He was killed, and you have to keep your distance from Lynn. Amo only had an accident when he went to see him. Moon told Lily.

"Well, it doesn't matter. But the matter of Amo is very sad. I've always disliked Uncle Lynn. He kept telling me to stay away from the poor, but the poor I met were very weak, and I saw that they were being oppressed by rich people and order-keeping people like us. Lily thought of what she had seen and heard on the street.

Moon smiled and listened quietly, then replied.

"Ah, that's because the poor are too cowardly, so we need to protect them. But the father's power is limited, and he can only protect those who can. It's all the Order's fault, and everything has gone dark. But luckily, I still have your light by my side. Moon said in a deep voice. He watched cautiously, fearing that the Order's watchers were eavesdropping around here.

"Father, it's getting late, I'll come back to see you tomorrow. The gift must have been put under the pillow by you again, I know. Thank you, Father. Lily took a few steps and turned her head with a smile.

"My child...... See you tomorrow......"

Moon smiled and waved. He knew that Zachary was hiding like a shadow in the darkness and following Lily, but he was still not reassured. Therefore, he looked at the two people who were far away, and then slowly returned to the corridor around the corner.

"Canther, are you still alive?"
