When Luna Brewster stepped out of the carriage with the help of Melen Warren, her coachman, Goldman Warren, was arguing with the guards of the Mage Tower.

“…… On the car is Grand Duke Luo Nan and the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, Luna Brewster, she is going to enter the Mage Tower now, why don't you let her go? ”

Luna followed the prestige and discovered that it was not the blue-clad guards of the Mage Tower who had stopped her, but the yellow-clad royal guards. She reached out and straightened her hair, tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, and walked past the soldier in the front row of her guard to the soldier.

"Hello, I'm Luna Brewster, Grand Duke Ronnan, the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, I'm going home now, are you sure you want to stop me?"

"Lord Brewster", the soldier bowed respectfully when he saw the Lord coming, "Your Majesty has an order, from today onwards, except for the royal guards and the inner library personnel who have been approved, no one else is allowed to enter, sorry, I can't let you in." ”

"Even if it's my home, you won't let me in?"

Luna Brewster's voice trembled slightly, visibly restraining her emotions. The soldier lowered his head.

"My lord, if you insist on entering, please get permission from Your Majesty first."

Luna Brewster stopped talking, her gaze swept over the bowed soldier, and looked at the mage tower not far away, the mage tower she was all too familiar with, still standing as usual, quiet, the black triangular tower body like a sharp sword, piercing the sky.

"I see."

Luna Brooklyn nodded, turned and got into the carriage. Mellen and Gorman looked at each other, one got into the car, and the other began to drive. The guards who followed Luna turned around in unison, escorting the carriage, which was emblazoned with the royal coat of arms of the nobles and the royal family on it, and quietly left the mage tower and disappeared into the end of the street.

"My lord, do we really need royal permission to enter the tower? That's too much, isn't it? Even if Your Excellency the Archmage loses his magic powers, we are still the Mage Tower! His Excellency the Grand Magister has maintained the peace and stability of the country for eight hundred years, how can the emperor turn his face and deny people like this? ”

In the car, Mellen couldn't help but be angry and began to complain to her owner. But Luna Brewster didn't respond to her, and the only question on the mind of the Grand Duke of Ronan now was where to find Brooklyn, the director of the Mage Tower, her teacher. According to her and Brooklyn's original plan, the loss of the Archmage's magic should be kept as secret as possible, and now that she has taken the initiative to announce it to the world, what are her plans? Or is it revealed that Brooklyn was coerced by someone? Unable to figure out these things, Luna feels like she can't continue to live.

"Let's go, go to His Majesty the Emperor."

It only took a little time for Luna to make a decision. Whatever the reason for the statement, she had to meet Brooklyn and ask her face to face.

The carriage of Grand Duke Luo Nan, inlaid with the family crest of the royal family, was not hindered when entering the palace. According to His Majesty's rules, the Grand Duke had the right to directly ask to see the Emperor, and Luna's guards, as the Palace had always requested, waited outside the palace gates.

"I'm sorry, His Majesty the Emperor can't see you right now. The two announcements issued by the Grand Magister and His Majesty the Emperor are really too influential, and all the ministers are in a meeting with His Majesty the Emperor, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have time in a short period of time. Or, if you have something, how about I tell your Majesty about it? ”

His Majesty's attendant, Charles Manning, was polite, and Luna was not angry with him, even though she was a little dissatisfied. She thought about it for a while, and felt that if she gave up and went back, she would probably not think about tea and dinner, so it was better to wait, whether it was good or bad, she needed to hear a result from the emperor's mouth.

"I can wait."

Luna's voice was soft, but Luna's tone was firm. Seeing her like this, Charles led her to the side hall of the Imperial Palace, where low-ranking officials who were not high enough to meet the emperor directly, but who needed to support their chief at any time were waiting for inquiries. In the hall, which is about 400 square meters, neat small round tables and stools are scattered for the officials on call to rest. On both sides of the hall, there are small spaces that are semi-separated, which is convenient for some relatively private chats. In the middle and at both ends of the hall, long dining tables were set up with small snacks to replenish the energy of hungry officials who had waited too long.

Luna, who followed the Emperor's attendant, Charles Manning, into the side room caught the attention of almost everyone. Because of His Majesty the Emperor's letter to the people of the whole country, the Mage Tower officially delegated power, and many things need to be approved by His Majesty the Emperor, and there are fifty or sixty officials waiting in the side hall, all of whom are men. Luna, dressed as a woman and carrying a maid, is like a deer that has strayed into a pack of lions, and suddenly becomes the center of attention for everyone.

"My lord, please wait here for a while, I will inform His Majesty the Emperor in time, and if there is time, His Majesty the Emperor will see you as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Luna saluted, ignored everyone's gaze, and led Merren to find an empty table on the right side of the hall and sit down. Melen saluted her, went to the long table and made her a cup of tea, and then stood beside her, silent.

The officials in the side hall began to whisper, and with their rank, it was difficult to make direct contact with Luna, so they did not recognize her identity in the first place. However, on the ornaments and clothes that Luna carried with her, many places had the small badge of Grand Duke Ronan. Although Grand Duke Luo Nan has a weak sense of existence, he can't stand the officials present, and there are always some people who are also proficient in the unpopular noble coat of arms. It only took a few moments for Luna's identity to spread among the officials.

The first apprentice of the Mage Tower, Luna Brewster.

What did she appear in the palace at a time when the Mage Tower announced its complete renunciation of power?

The curiosity of the officials went from subtle arguments to actions in a short period of time. Almost as a matter of agreement, the three highest-ranking officials present walked up to Luna.

"Hello, I'm Jonas Bellin, Sheriff of the National Police Agency, this is Philip Burke, the chief of the Basic Security Department of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, and this is Vimara Issa, the chief of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Finance, are you Grand Duke Luo Nan, Luna Brewster, the first apprentice of the Mage Tower?"

The three officials were courteous, and Luna, though too lazy to remember the names, had to answer politely. And the three officials on the other side were obviously more excited after learning that she was indeed the Grand Duke of Luonan. They stood there and asked about the authenticity of the Dharma Tower's High People's Book.

"Grand Duke Luo Nan, yesterday the Mage Tower and His Majesty the Emperor jointly issued a letter to the people of the whole country, do you know the specific situation?"

"Three adults, this kind of question, can you ask a grand duke casually?"

Mellen, standing behind Luna, used a soft, but firm voice to stop the three officials from asking questions. According to Anken Rein's rules of nobility, the Grand Duke is the only important person in the country who is the prince, and how can three small officials who do not even have a title be asked directly.

"I'm sorry, everyone," Luna replied softly after waiting for Mellen to finish, "I won't know until I see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The three officials had actually known that their behavior was a bit rude. But if the Grand Magister really lost his magic power like His Majesty the Emperor's statement, then the Grand Duke of Luo Nan in front of him had neither a family nor power, so naturally there was nothing to be feared. However, now that the other party's attitude is appropriate, they are a little confused. The other officials, seeing that the three of them had hit a nail, no longer intended to get an answer directly from Luna, but instead whispered.

Luna waited in the side room for four hours, and the officials on the call changed twice before she was received by His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor asked his attendant, Charles Manning, to lead Luna through the palace to a more intimate meeting room.

"Grand Duke Ronan", Paul Gibson seemed to be in a good mood, he invited Luna to sit down, and he sat down across from Luna casually, "You came here this time, but you want to ask what that statement means?" ”

Luna nodded, her maid Meren was stopped at the door, and now it was just her and Paul in the room. Thinking about what happened to Brooklyn, Luna was a little nervous.

"That's what your teacher, Brooklyn, the head of the Mage Tower, really meant, since the Great Magister has been in retreat, it's not good to hide it from the people, it's better to make it public directly and give everyone an explanation."

"So, can I see Miss Brooklyn?" Luna didn't believe Paul's. Still, she nodded, and then made her own request.

"I just went to the Mage Tower, and the guards guarding the Mage Tower told me that I can only go home with your permission, so I'll come to you."

"I don't know where Brooklyn is", Paul has completely imprisoned Brooklyn, lest Paul Chung say that he did not kill the villain who spread rumors. But these things could not and did not need to be told to the immature little girl in front of him, who denied that he knew about Brooklyn's itinerary, and then gave the other party permission to enter the mage tower.

"Luna, according to our joint statement with the Mage Tower, since yesterday, all the property of the Mage Tower has belonged to the royal family, so you can go back, but you must be accompanied by an official from the Royal Treasurer, understand?"

"Belonging to the royal family?"

Luna froze when she heard the news. It was the Mage Tower, it was the building that stood at the top of this country, this world, it was an absolute symbol of power. Since when can the Mage Tower be so humiliated by an ordinary emperor?

"I see."

In this moment, Luna suddenly understood what was in Brooklyn's tears. After obtaining permission from His Majesty the Emperor, she politely took her leave. The emperor did not keep either. The first apprentice, who was only 18 years old, took the emperor's edict and went out in a daze. Mellen was quietly beside her, silent.

The two leave the palace and get into the carriage, and when the coachman Gorman Warren asks where to go, Mellen takes one look at Luna and sees that she has no clear instructions, so she asks Goldman to drive to the Mage's Tower. Arriving at the Mage Tower, Luna enters the Mage Tower with the Emperor's edict in hand, accompanied by a royal treasurer official. At this time, the Mage Tower had turned into a noisy vegetable market, with a large number of facilities, furniture, and possessions being removed from the buildings, and people registering numbers and checking their assets came and went, and most of them just threw a few curious glances at Luna and hurried by. The original inhabitants of the Mage Tower don't know where they were being driven to, and Luna doesn't see any of them.

Naturally, I didn't find Brooklyn either.

Unable to find Brooklyn, Luna felt a little relaxed for some reason. Unable to comprehend her emotions, she allowed Mellen and Goldman to take her back to Joe McFawrie's house.

"Your Excellency, Lord Hart McFabrie, please come to the tea house."

Not long after returning to Joe McFawrie's home, Mellen brought a new invitation from Joe McFawrie's father. Luna cleans up and meets her father and mother, who have never met each other and don't know whether they are alive or dead, in the café.

"Luna," Hart McFawrie's expression was anxious and straight to the point, "Have you seen the letter to the people of His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Brooklyn?" Did something really happen to the Mage Tower? ”

"Yes, now whether my family can find Joey or not, the hope is on you, if something happens to the Mage Tower, what will my Joey do?"

Joe McFawrie's mother, Vivian McFawrie's voice was visibly worried, and she, along with Joe McFawrie's father, looked eagerly at Luna, waiting for her answer.

"I'm ......", Luna hesitated, she just realized that if the Mage Tower had been taken over by the royal family, then the two people in front of her, and this somewhat strange home, had become her last harbor.

“…… I don't know, I searched for Lord Brooklyn for a day today, and I haven't found it. ”

"Then before you came, did Your Excellency the Great Demon Master talk about the Great Demon Tide? His Majesty the Emperor said that the Great Demon Tide Fire Festival will come after the Great Demon Tide Fire Festival, so since then, the Great Demon Master has no magical power? ”

Hart McFauly chased after her, and Vivian McFaley wrung her handkerchief with an anxious expression. Luna looked at the two old men, her heart softened, and she told the truth.

"I don't know if I can release magic, but I haven't used magic since the Fire Festival......

"I knew it!"

Hart McFafay, who had just been looking anxious, suddenly stood up, he spun around twice, stopped, looked at Luna, sighed heavily, turned around and shook the door open, and walked out.

"Father?"

Luna didn't understand what Hart's sudden outburst of anger was all about, and she looked at Vivien helplessly, only to find that the old man was looking at her with the same angry expression.

"The Grand Magus has obviously lost her magic powers! You're going to marry you off! Do you know that in order to marry you, we have to fight with the Grand Duke of Dieng! Now we can't see our two grandchildren, and our son is missing! Even looking for him, there is no one to ask for! Do you know that you are the fault of all this! If it weren't for marrying you, if it weren't for marrying you, my Joey wouldn't have died at all! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!! ”

The more the old man spoke, the more emotional he became, and he threw the teacup in his hand at Luna. I don't know if she was stunned by the old man's anger, but Luna didn't dodge the teacup. She let the hot tea in the teacup splash herself, and sat there stunned, listening to her husband's mother scolding the street. It wasn't until she heard the old man's continuous, inarticulate insults that Luna remembered how much damage she had done to the family when she got married.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you, my lord!"

Mellen, who heard the noise, pulled Luna away, hurriedly cleaned her up, and pulled her out of the café. And Vivian, who was still standing in the tea room, was crying and cursing.

"Get out of here! You are the scourge of our family! You shouldn't show up! Get out of here! We're at the McFabrie family! Don't want you dead star! ”

Mellen's closed door doesn't completely block out the sound, and Luna hears the old man's words, but she doesn't have the ability to react. She let Mellen drag her upstairs, helped her change her clothes, and put herself on the bed, only to suddenly realize a terrible problem.

If you don't want this home by yourself, where else can you go?
