Moonborn: The Lost Legacy

Chapter 22: Aria



At the break of dawn, the trio arrived at the grand palace. As they stepped out of the train, they noticed Ryulune standing outside, waiting for them.

Keld stretched and smirked. "Ryulune, you're up so early? Were you waiting for us?" His eyes twinkled with an emotional yet humorous expression.

Elowen, still half-asleep, yawned as she stepped off the train with Cassian. "It's way too early for this… and you already have so much energy?"

Ryulune chuckled. "Seeing the three of you, I assume you all passed. Let's go inside. You should get some rest first, and later, we'll talk about how you did."

The trio, exhausted from their journey, made their way to their rooms. After a well-needed rest, the evening arrived, and Ryulune returned.

"Time to go. The Queen is waiting."

As they began heading toward the Queen's hall, Keld suddenly stopped. A feeling of panic hit him.

"Wait… I forgot something!"

Elowen raised an eyebrow. "What now?"

"My ring… the one Seluna gave me. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up!"

Cassian sighed. "Don't take too long."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there!" Keld reassured them before rushing back to his room.

He rummaged through his belongings, his heart racing until he finally remembered. "The box! It's in the box!"

Grabbing the ring, he hurried towards the Queen's hall but soon found himself at a crossroads with three different paths.

"Which way was it again?" He hesitated before deciding to go straight. As he walked down the corridor, he spotted a slightly open door.

"This must be the room…" He muttered and pushed it open.

To his horror, inside stood a girl with long black hair, completely exposed, changing her clothes.

Keld's face turned beet red. "Oh crap!"

The girl noticed him, her eyes widening in shock before her face also flushed deep red. "PERVERT!" she screamed, immediately unleashing a strong lightning attack.

Keld barely had time to react. "Wait, wait, wait—!"

BOOM!

The blast sent him flying through four walls, leaving rubble in his wake. Groaning, he pushed away the debris, coughing. "How… is she that strong?!"

Before he could recover, a sharp sword was suddenly pressed against his neck.

The girl, her face still red with embarrassment, glared at him. "Who are you, and how dare you enter my room?! You hentai!"

Keld frantically waved his hands. "I swear, I didn't see anything! I was just looking for my friends!"

The girl narrowed her eyes. "You didn't see anything?"

"Nope!"

"Did you see my room?"

"Not at all!"

"Did you see my clothes?"

"Absolutely not!"

"What about me?"

"I—" Keld hesitated before quickly shaking his head. "Nope!"

The girl crossed her arms, looking skeptical. "Then tell me… what's my cup size?"

Without thinking, Keld blurted out, "D-cup."

There was a long, painful silence.

The girl's face turned an even darker shade of red before her expression twisted with pure rage. "SO YOU DID SEE!"

"Oh no… I Fucked up." Keld realized too late and immediately bowed. "I'm sorry! But it was impossible to ignore because… you're just so beautiful!"

The girl's anger wavered for a second, her blush deepening. But then, her fury reignited. "YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE!"

Just as she was about to release another blast, Seluna stepped into the room and grabbed her wrist.

"Aria, stop! What are you doing?"

At that moment, everyone else arrived. Elowen looked at the mess and sighed. "Keld, what did you do this time?"

Keld groaned. "Nothing… It's my mistake."

The girl, now identified as Aria, quickly ran to Seluna and hugged her. "Mom! This guy is a pervert! He barged into my room while I was changing and looked at—"

Seluna turned her gaze to Keld, who raised his hands defensively. "It's not like that! Let me explain!"

After explaining the whole situation, everyone finally calmed down. Though embarrassed, Aria sat down with the others, occasionally stealing nervous glances at Keld, who was just as flustered.

Seluna smiled warmly. "Since everyone is here, let me introduce you to my daughter." She gestured toward Aria. "This is my daughter, Aria Seleneva."

Aria took a deep breath and nodded. "Hello, I am the princess of this kingdom, Aria Seleneva."

Keld, internally panicking, thought, "I seriously messed up… I just saw the princess of this kingdom Naked" His face turned red again.

Seluna continued. "Aria, these are the special students I told you about. The girl here is Elowen."

Elowen smiled. "Hello, Princess."

Aria waved a hand dismissively. "No need to be formal. Just call me Aria."

"Then, next to her is Cassian."

Cassian nodded. "Hey."

"And the one you've already met… Keld."

Keld scratched the back of his head. "Uh… hello, Aria."

Aria looked away, still blushing. "Hmph… hello."

Ryulune smirked. "By the way, Aria is also joining the academy this year. She'll be studying alongside you three."

Elowen grinned. "That's great! What level did you get, Aria?"

"Adept." Aria replied casually.

Keld's eyes widened. "You too?"

Elowen looked at Ryulune. "You don't seem surprised."

Ryulune chuckled. "Because I already knew Keld was also at the adept level, just like Aria."

Aria tilted her head. "How many elements can you three control?"

Elowen answered first. "Two—Fire and Earth."

Cassian followed. "Water and Ice."

Keld grinned. "I can control three—Fire, Iron, and Light."

Aria's eyes widened. "Three? That's impressive!"

Elowen turned to Aria. "How about you?"

Aria smirked. "Five."

The trio's jaws dropped. "FIVE?! That's insane!"

Keld asked, "What are they?"

Aria proudly listed them. "Light, Electricity, Water, Fire, and Air."

Seluna watched with a smile, enjoying the exchange between the kids.

Ryulune finally stood. "Now that introductions are over, it's time for your rewards… the ones I promised."
