*Squeak*.
The door to the room creaked open.
All eyes turned to the door except for Lord and Lady Roy. Incredibly, they all had the same or at least similar expressions, reflecting genuine sentiment.
Hope
Slowly the figure of two young ladies revealed itself, showing the face of Miss Roy, Luna Roy, with a serious and determined expression... And with something annoying?
On the other hand, the other figure is that of a man. The heir to the Falle family, Theos Von Fallen. He did not have an expression of determination or anything like that, but with an indifferent and cold face, with a kind of temperament that attracted and alienated anyone at the same time.
However, not one person present there sensed any ill intentions on Theos' part. Quite the contrary, she felt a pleasant security with him just being there.
"Luna?" one of the maids stepped forward, her face full of excitement and happiness.
Luna turned her face in her direction. Her face was also filled with emotion and happiness when she saw her. "Angelica!" exclaimed Luna with a radiant smile.
The maid, Angelica, also raised the corners of her lips, showing a radiant smile as she ran towards Luna with open arms.
Luna did not reject her but embraced her enthusiastically. With a smile, the two stood for a few seconds hugging each other.
"Miss Luna!"
"Young Lady..."
Witnessing the scene, the other maidservants and butlers began to greet Luna in a friendly manner. Even Theos, who could sense and see any negative (evil) feelings, could not detect anything bad among the servants. Surprisingly each of them is quite pleasant.
'For now, the servants are ruled out. As far as I can see, none of them have any negative feelings, I don't even see one who feels nervous or worried that Luna is here,' Theos thought.
He wasn't going to stand idly by just watching the scenes and everyone's actions. Although, on paper and practically that is what he is doing right now, in reality, he is also analyzing each person with his keen vision and perception.
However, if there was one thing that surprised Theos... 'In the novel, Luna is shown to be quite a loner who has almost no friends. One might even say that directly she in the novel had no friends at all. But now, look at her here, being happy to see her dear friend,' he recalled.
Watching the scene with a genuine smile, he concluded that it was possibly a butterfly effect. After all, the character Theos has changed the most, at least currently, is Luna herself.
Possibly because he was added into her life, plus since her parents were affected by a curse, Luna has a good friendship with all the servants and, above all, with Angelica.
"How have you been?" asked Angelica first, after she stopped hugging Luna.
"HAHA! Super well, I have had several exciting adventures. I've gotten a lot stronger and, most importantly, I have the cure for my parents," she continued still with a smile on her face. "So, overall, I'm doing pretty well."
Angelica's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity. "You'll have to tell me about those exciting adventures of yours," she said, but after a bit of thought, a mischievous smile tugged at her lips. "And of course, I hope we're not talking about your boyfriend."
Luna blushed deeply. Lowering her head slightly, she replied, "HMPH, we're wasting a lot of time. Curing my parents right now is the most important thing."
Angelica's mischievous smile turned into a serious expression upon hearing those words. After all, more than anyone else she knows the gravity of the situation.
Theos followed close behind to support her.
"Now, miss. What will you do?" several servants asked similar questions.
However, Luna did not respond with words, but instead extended her arm, revealing her storage ring. From there, Luna slowly pulled out some sort of vial with a liquid inside.
The eyes of the maids and butlers lit up. They didn't know why, but as Luna alone took out that jar, they were filled with a sense of security and well-being.
Removing the lid of the jar, Luna first saw her parents. Her eyes became a little sad and distressed.
"Relax, this will work" assured Theos on the side, placing his hand on Luna's shoulder.
The reassuring words and, most of all, the hand of the man she always felt safe with; made her distress disappear, replaced by confidence.
"Yes, this is going to work," she said to herself.
Luna first started with her father, carefully placing the bottle in her mouth, and she made him drink it slowly.
Then, she continued with her mother. This time she had to use her hands, to remove the long hairs around her mother's face before putting the bottle in her mouth and giving it to her slowly.
They each drank 1⁄2 of the liquid inside the jar, giving them a total of drinking the entire jar between them.
After seeing that the bottle had no more liquid in it, she moved it away from their faces. She took a couple of steps away until she was next to Theos.
The results were not immediately apparent, so, for a moment she was startled.
"Mmmh."
However, her parents made another sound, and at the same time, a golden light surrounded their bodies, illuminating them.
"Wow."
"Awesome..."
Each of the maids was shocked and amazed by the scene. Even Luna did not know how to react to this.
However, after the surprised reaction, a happy smile lit up her face.
And that smile became wider when her parents' complexion improved considerably in a few seconds. That frown of annoyance on their faces was replaced by a peaceful and, even, satisfied expression.

"They're healing!" exclaimed one of the stewards.
Theos couldn't stop the corners of his lips from lifting. "See, you just needed to trust the procedure," he said, letting out a small laugh.
Luna chuckled as well, watching her parents slowly but surely recover.
