"Yes, the Duke and Duchess had another child."

Holding the babbling Serafina, the daughter of the hero, the old butler calmly revealed the secret he had kept hidden in his heart for many years.

"However, Miss, your parents love him very much."

In this world, whether commoners or nobles, everyone values ​​their firstborn child, their eldest son.

In this unique cultural atmosphere, the death of the firstborn son is often seen as an ominous sign, and the Vatican even claims that the goddess will bring the death of the firstborn son upon impious families.

Similarly, humans are also the eldest sons of the goddess, so other races, including demons, all agree that the goddess has shown too much favoritism towards humans.

Luna showed no shock. "Can you tell me the cause of death?"

"He was born with a congenital magical disorder, and from the moment he was born, he was destined not to live past the age of one."

Upon hearing an unfamiliar term, everyone turned their gaze to Medivh, who let out a long sigh of regret.

What a promising young magician! What a pity. If the three sons of the Charles family were still alive, the annihilation of the demon race would not be just empty talk.

"Innate magical power excess refers to a child who possesses extremely high magical talent or natural affinity. Generally speaking, talented children will learn and explore the absorption of external magical power and natural forces around the age of seven or eight."

"But this child started from birth, unconsciously absorbing large amounts of magic into his body until he completely destroyed himself."

Luna nodded. "It's more like a curse than a talent. What a tragic fate."

She clasped her hands together in prayer, opened her eyes and said, "But the living are more valuable to us than the dead. Take us to retrieve his remains, steward. I cannot lose another brother."

The old butler nodded silently. Since this was the young lady's decision, he had no right to object. The affairs of the Charles family should naturally be resolved by Charles.

Kneeling on the ground, Cage shed tears of emotion. "My dear sister, I misunderstood you before. From now on, I'll do anything for you!"

Leaving Jenny and the others behind, Luna, along with Eleanor and the old butler, left the Duke's mansion with the oil lamp in hand.

The sky was bright, and fluffy white clouds cast shade over the edge of the mausoleum. The wind rustled through the trees, and rows of clean tombstones conveyed a solemn silence.

Intelligent beings often do some of the most irrational things, such as burying the dead and regularly offering blessings to them.

Sometimes people don't revere death; they simply want to preserve something.

The soldiers' tombstones seemed endless. Luna would occasionally recognize the names on them, but most of the unfamiliar names were a record of a heavy past.

Their times of death represent different battles, and these numbers come together to form a unique timeline.

Luna crossed that line, and beyond that line lay the history before her birth.

None of the three spoke. The old butler gradually stopped and stood before an unmarked tombstone.

The tombstone was inconspicuous, with inscriptions recording a short lifespan of eight months. Nine months was just a blink of an eye for the old butler, but nine months could also be the entire journey of life.

"Speaking of which, I've almost forgotten what the young master looks like."

The old butler smiled, a rare occurrence, as his gaze fell on Luna's pale blue hair, which was being blown about by the wind.

"But I've always remembered what my wife said: 'One day, my child will return to Harbin.'"

He bent over, seemingly struggling, one hand supporting himself on the tombstone, the other pressing down on a brick in the ground.

With a dull thud, as if some mechanism had been triggered, a dark staircase leading underground appeared before the three of them behind the slowly sinking tombstone.

Holding up the oil lamp, Luna walked straight down the steps without hesitation.

Elena didn't follow. She tilted her head, the tombstone in front of her reminding her of that lonely boy.

The time travel, the sudden appearance of a mysterious being, and Oswald from another world...

She didn't actually want to explore these secrets, just as Oswald never asked about her past, and she didn't want to provoke Oswald's sensitive nerves.

Elena considers herself a greedy person, but happiness always needs to be carefully protected.

"Got it, let's go."

Luna moved quickly, carrying a sealed metal box that exuded an eerie aura and was engraved with alchemical runes, and she arrived in front of Elene with some difficulty.

Elena took it casually, her palm touching something cool. The runes danced in the sunlight, and it sounded as if there was a rushing water inside.

After studying it for a long time, Elena still couldn't find the switch. The strange coffin was like a single piece of metal, and the tightness of the fit was astonishing.

The old butler shook his head, indicating that he didn't know how to open it either.

The three had no choice but to carry the box back the way they came and hand it over to Medivh.

"If this thing can really preserve corpses, I might lend it to you later." Luna slammed the metal box down on the table and grinned at Medivh's head.

Medivh glanced at her, and Luna immediately fell silent, but Medivh followed up with a sentence.

"Let me in later to see how it goes."

After saying that, he carefully studied the runes engraved on the metal and soon found a way to break the spell.

"A very simple secret technique, but simplicity also means strength. Luna, try to infuse it with a sense of elegance."

Luna was puzzled. "Impart it in?"

Where do you pour it in from? There's not even a keyhole on it.

"You shouldn't have come to the royal city to study back then. You should have let Oswald teach you how to use your power properly."

Medivh sighed, taking back his earlier statement. Even if Charles' three sons were still alive, they might not be able to defeat the demons.

"The wind is all-pervasive; it can reach any corner of the world. Do you see the gaps above? It lets the wind in and eliminates the sealed environment inside."

Luna seemed to understand, but not quite. A gentle breeze began to swirl around her fingers, her fingertips slowly brushing across a crack. Wisps of wind bumped against the walls and quickly dissipated into the complex passageway inside.

"Focus on continuous input!"

Medivh roared, and Luna, jolted awake, increased the force of the airflow. This wasn't easy; it was like threading a needle through a dozen or so needles to succeed.

The sacrifice plan stalled for a time. Everyone except Cage, who was hiding in a corner to minimize his presence, held their breath and stared intently at Luna, who was covered in sweat.

Time ticked by, and Luna, gritting her teeth and persevering, began to tremble uncontrollably even in her fingers.

"How about trying to use your expertise, Luna? Aren't you best at using the process of erasure to launch attacks?"

Elena spoke up to remind them that failure was fine, since they had alternative plans.

Luna nodded, and after taking a deep breath, her power fluctuations changed. A gentle breeze blew, and each wisp of wind quickly dissipated upon hitting the wall, then reappeared in various locations.

The unusual wind manipulation, which increased the airflow path, finally caught Medivh's attention.

If Oswald is like unleashing a violent storm, then Luna is like a continuous change between the states of the wind stopping and the wind rising.

The power that dissipated in her hands was actually still flowing without a trace, giving people the feeling that time had been erased.

With a click, whether by chance or luck, a gust of wind blew in, and the metal box made a strange noise. The gap that had been connected quickly expanded from the size of a hair to the width of a finger.

Immediately following was a peculiar medicinal smell.
