Chapter 224 - 223 - She Is So Surprised. I'm Happy About That.

"Wow, it's so big. But it's a little bloodstained around here..." Luna entered the mansion along with Ward and the first thing she did was look around in awe at the luxuriousness and size of the place.

Only the hallway was so long and luxurious that she wondered if she should be there.

And of course, she couldn't help but notice the bloodstains on the walls of the hallway.

"It's nice, isn't it? Wait until you see your bedroom and the throne room. And about the blood, the maids did their best to clean it up, but unfortunately, it remained stained." Ward smiled proudly as he walked through the halls together with his sister.

But Luna completely ignored Ward's explanation about the bloodstains. Now she was just excited about her room.

"My room? I want to go to my bedroom! I never had a room of my own." Luna shouted in the middle of the hallway.

The guards looked at Ward with anger and at her sister with a little pity. They could see that she was being manipulated somehow.

"Didn't you like sleeping in the same room as me?"

"Of course I would. But I would like a little privacy."

"I'm just kidding. Come this way."

Ward went to the room next to the one he was sleeping in and opened the door. It was a large heavy wooden door with some gold detailing, just like the door to his room.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted with a rug just in front of the door for their shoes to be left on. 

But Luna did not take off her shoes, she ran straight to the double bed in the middle of the room. It was a high bed with a soft mattress and a white sheet. On top of the bed were two white pillows and a folded blanket.

To the right side of the room was a smaller wooden door that led to the bathroom of the room. Inside the bathroom was a sink with a large mirror, a shower, and a bathtub, something they never imagined they would have.

A shower does not exist anywhere. A shower doesn't exist in an inn, it doesn't exist in any house. Even some mansions don't have access to it! And now they have a shower at their disposal.

And we cannot forget the toilet with plumbing. This was not so unusual in the capitals, but such a luxurious and beautiful toilet seat made of marble was rare.

"Ohhhh, it's so beautiful! AND IT HAS A BATHTUB!!!" Luna jumped in the middle of the toilet happily.

"Hey, don't jump in here, you might end up oozing and hurting yourself."

"I'm sorry, it's just that I can't calm down! Look how luxurious this place is! Is that all for me from now on? I can't believe it." Luna was amazed as she looked at every detail of the bathroom.

"Yes, it's everything for you." Ward felt pleased to see his sister so happy.

But he also felt a little worried as he doesn't know how long this will last.

"Look at this closet, look at the size of this closet! It even has clothes in here!" Luna who had already run out of the bathroom this time went into the door on the left side of the room where a large closet was.

It was a closet so big that there was even a counter in the middle of it with a glass top and drawers. Under the glass were the jewels of the queen or whoever used this bedroom.

Luna pulled out one of the drawers and revealed a large shiny gold necklace.

"Look how many jewels have here!" Luna put the necklace back in place and closed the drawer. 

But then she began to look at all the clothes in the closet.

"There are some wonderful clothes here, can I have some? Maybe they won't fit me, but I can sew and adjust them."

"Sure, you can have them all."

"Thanks!"

Luna smiled at Ward and then began to gather some clothes she wanted. And after gathering the clothes she left the closet and went to her room again. She went to the desk next to the bed and looked through the drawers.

There was nothing in there but a few useless papers. 

Then she left the desk aside and went to the dressing-table that existed in the room. A dressing table that displayed various types of make-up, products, and combs. There was also a huge mirror.

"I don't know who used this bedroom, but that person has good taste. They have such pretty colors." Luna began to analyze the makeup.

Ward who don't care about it just stood off to the side as he watched his sister.

He stood there for a long time watching her. Luna was so amazed that she wanted to look and touch every corner of the bedroom.

"Serve something for my sister." Ward sat down at the table together with Luna so that she could have lunch.

"Isn't that table too big? How many people lived in the castle to have so many seats?" Luna looked at the large table that could be used by up to 20 people.

"I don't know very well. But I think it is the king the queen and two princesses. Maybe they were getting a lot of visitors?"

"I don't know if a king would like to have so many visitors..."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter now, just enjoy the food." Entering the great room a maid appeared pushing a cart with many trays and pans on top.

Luna looked at the maid with admiration. The woman approached and served her gracefully even though she was quite nervous.

"She is very pretty." Luna looked at the maid and smiled. The somewhat clumsy maid just thanked her and then left the room while pushing the cart. 

After that Luna looked at the various dishes in front of her with her mouth-watering. There were so many options that she didn't know exactly what to eat. 

"Why don't you try everything? I did this during lunch today." Ward smiled at Luna. Then she stared at the food and Ward until she worked up the courage to put everything on a plate and start eating.

Once she started she didn't stop until her stomach was full.

After she finished she leaned her back against the chair and held her belly as she sighed.

"I don't think I've ever eaten so much in my life." She closed her eyes and then stood up from her chair while breathing hard. 

"I shouldn't have eaten so much..." She was breathing hard and felt as if her stomach was going to explode. Because of this Ward took her to her room and Luna lay down to rest.

Luna lay down and slept soon after.

"Number 1, call one of your brothers to stand at the door of the bedroom and protect her."

After Ward said this, the armor jumped out of its shadow and stopped in front of him.

"I will do that right now." The armor walked away and Ward walked into the bedroom and locked the door to stay together with his sister. He still didn't feel very safe being alone without one of the armors.

Maybe in the future, he would feel more comfortable. Or maybe the soldiers would start to accept him.

####

Three days had passed since then.

While Luna was kept safely inside her room by one of the armors, the other 7 armors were in the throne room facing Ward.

"Looks like the day has come." He smiled and then stood up from his throne and raised his arms. With a pose of an evil villain from a comic book he began to speak:

"The day has come for you guys to invade all the cities and leave them under my control!" He shouted as he looked up and raised his arms. The armors knelt but the soldiers were looking at Ward with a bit of anger and also embarrassment.

'Why is he acting so shamefully?' Most of the soldiers inside the room were thinking this as they watched Ward.

'I want you guys to bring my sister here. Armor number 1 will stay together with us and you guys will go to the other cities. Right?"

The armors nodded.

"You can go, except one of you. I don't trust those soldiers, they might end up trying to kill me. I still don't have confidence that I can win against several of them."

Ward looked at the soldiers inside the room. The soldiers returned the look with anger.

Then six of the armors left the room and only one remained beside Ward.

And after three minutes armor number 1 appeared in the room along with Luna. When Luna entered the room she ran to Ward who was sitting on the throne and hugged him.

Ward accepted her hug and remained silent.

And while all this 'cute' scene was happening, the other armor that was in the room earlier had left the room to do its job.

'Now I just need to wait until the cities are under my control, after that I can reveal myself.'
