Chapter 15: Grievances
Luna dragged Jack to the stairs, and as she looked at the high steps, she let go and sat down, gasping for breath with her tongue out.
"What are you doing?" asked Jack, who turned around and bared his teeth, finally free.
Looking at Jack, who looked like Olivia, who had grown to the size of a medium-sized dog after a winter, Luna's eyes crossed with apologies and said, "Jack, I'm sorry. ”
"It doesn't matter. Jack, whose mouth moves faster than his brain, said subconsciously.
After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, his face stiffened, and his mouth shook a few times, but it was not good to be fierce to Luna, he just glanced his head to the side, and said angrily: "You compensate me for half a month's smoked bones!"
"Good. Luna nodded without hesitation, this time it was because of her curiosity that she had tricked Jack, so pay for it!
"Really?" Jack's eyes lit up and he looked at Luna, his obsidian-like eyes shining brighter and brighter at the corner of the staircase, which wasn't too well-lit.
Facing Jack's wolf eyes glowing green in the dim light, to be honest, it was only at this point that Luna had the realization that Jack was a wolf and not a stupid one.
"Really. Luna stood up, rubbed her face against Jack, and said earnestly.
"Then let's go back quickly, and start the lockdown sooner, so that it can be over sooner. Jack rubbed Luna back twice, then said cheerfully as he rushed up the stairs.
Looking up at the steps, Jack's wagging tail, the corners of Luna's lips curled, and she gave a hum and chased after her.
At night, looking at the two crescent moons hanging high in the sky, Luna rested her chin on the windowsill and pressed her paws to her ears to prevent them from hearing the gurgling of her stomach and the sound of Jack, who was already asleep, from time to time.
I'm so hungry......
Luna sighed, and now she regretted running away to eavesdrop in the afternoon, most of all, thinking back to what Isabella had said that afternoon, she realized that she didn't seem to know much about what she wanted to know.
In addition to the news that Walter is about to go to the Trials Forest, it seems that the eldest brother Charles also needs to go there to walk the news, she still knows nothing about this world.
The new world is full of unknowns, and she doesn't understand anything, which makes Luna a little irritated.
"Luna. A soft whisper came, and Luna turned her head to look at the side door of the room, and saw her mother, standing in the doorway, in the cold moonlight, Olivia's fair cheeks glowed with pearlescent on one side, and the shadow cast by the high bridge of her nose on the other, and her eyes also glowed with a faint green glow.
"Mother. Luna used to call Olivia that way when no one else was around, and she didn't like it in her heart.
Olivia, dressed in a simple white nightgown, approached Luna barefoot, raised her hand and took her paw from her ear and asked:
"Can't sleep hungry?"
"Hmm. Luna replied softly, facing her own mother, to tell the truth, there was nothing to twist.
"Those two guards were punished by your father. Olivia turned and put her hand on the ledge, jumped up and sat down, looking down at Luna.
Luna subconsciously looked up at her own mother, a trace of chagrin flashed in her eyes, for fear that the two guards who had been deliberately harassed by her recently and who had been able to turn a blind eye to her and Jack would be severely punished by her father, and asked urgently, "How was it punished?"
"Are you worried about them?" Olivia's eyes flashed with a hint of worry as she looked at her daughter.
"Hmm. Luna replied softly.
"Your father told me that you had been playing with Jack outside his study for half a month. And every time you play, it's when those two guards are there. Luna, what are you going to do?" Olivia's voice suddenly became a little cold.
Luna's pupils shrank sharply when she heard this, and she lowered her eyes, no longer daring to meet Olivia's faint green gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
God knows, how panicked she is now, she thought that no one would find out, but she never thought that it had already fallen into the eyes of her father Silas, she didn't feel hungry now, she was more afraid that Silas would find out what was wrong with her than she was hungry, and then kill her in one bite.
Seeing her daughter behave like this, Olivia's face remained cold and even a little angry, but only she knew how surprised she was.
What did she say when she heard about it from her husband in the afternoon?
It's just a coincidence......!
"Answer me, Luna!" Olivia said in a deep voice.
Peeping at the Wolf King is not a trivial matter, even a very dangerous thing, even for her own children, especially if Luna is still so young, Olivia can't and dare not turn a blind eye.
"I ...... I was just...... Well, I'm just curious, curious about the outside of the castle, real mother......" Luna burst into tears, stumbling and not knowing how to explain it.
She swore that she just wanted to understand the world, but she had neither a noisy maid, nor a creature like a nurse at all, and the only little maid, Liya, except for cleaning up the room every day and helping the two brothers and sisters take a bath, did not even say a word of nonsense, and began to tremble when she asked two more words, so that she did not dare to ask more, for fear that the little rabbit would be scared to death if she was not careful.
In addition to knowing the names of their immediate family members, the little wolf cubs also don't know anything.
The eldest brother Charles and Walter may know a lot, but she and Jack rarely get along alone with the busy Charles and Walter, even if Charles and Walter will watch them play from time to time, but Charles cares more about her and Jack, Walter never says much, whenever she asks about things outside the castle, they will always say that you will know when you transform.
There are quite a few guards and servants in the castle, but they are all like gold, and sometimes even if they turn their heads and hear her approaching from a distance, they will immediately silence her.
This made her have to move her "crooked brain" of curiosity to her father's study, because there are always nobles and ministers going in and out, but who would have thought that she thought that she had been tossing stupidly for half a month unconsciously, but she had already been seen by her father.
The most unfortunate thing is that she, who has almost nothing to gain, is now grounded again.
The more Luna thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she couldn't help but choke, and as the sobbing intensified, she only felt that her heart was beating faster and faster, as if there was a fire burning, and before she realized why this was happening, an unspeakable pain suddenly came, instantly all over her body.
"Luna!" In the moment of confusion, Luna heard Olivia's frightened exclamation, and then her world was completely plunged into a roar, and the sharp pain in her body made her unable to hear anything else, and her eyes were wide open, but she couldn't see anything clearly, only a variety of brilliant colors and cold white light, alternating until finally it melted into darkness.
