786 Second Trial 105 (1/2)
By the time Luna was about 8 years old, Laura's attitude had completely changed. Instead of the same scolding remarks and endless fiery hatred in her eyes, she began to look on her father lovingly, as though he was the most important person in her life…
The memories of the past that she used to hate, she began to look upon fondly. Even to the point that she was glad that the man she loved most in the world was the one to take her virginity.
As for her time in the brothels? She dismissed it as necessary for the clan. Everyone had to make sacrifices for their family, right? What was the harm in her doing so a bit? In fact, if her father wanted to send her out again, she would accept happily.
The sick and twisted change in Laura's personality wasn't even seen as odd by King Moon. He only thought that his daughter had finally understood his point of view. He even disgustingly allowed her to warm his bed from time to time.
By the time Luna was mature enough to realize that her father only viewed them all as pawns… It was too late…
As she grew, she came to learn of just how dangerous it was to manipulate the life essence of another. If she actually went back and tried to undo what she had done to her elder sister, there was a large risk of Laura becoming an invalid.
So, Laura's fate was sealed… Maybe somewhere inside her, her past memories were screaming, asking her how she could love and lie in bed with the man that had caused her so much pain… But, because of her little sister, she was forever doomed to love the man she should have forever hated…
This was why Luna would never blame her elder sister. This was why, no matter how much pain it caused her, she would never betray her elder sister again. She made this vow to herself… That no matter what, she would protect the happiness of Laura… Even if it meant betraying her own first love, Dyon…
Guilt was a powerful thing… It was even more powerful when placed in the heart of a good person… So, when those of the mysterious sect threatened the life of her mother and her sister, Luna didn't hesitate to comply, even though the Angel Clan had been nothing but good to her.
Having gained Luna's acceptance so easily, the elders of those mysterious clans knew that she would be easy to control. However, they also knew that no matter what tricks Luna tried to use, having her help kill Dyon's father was nothing more than a dream. That man was too intelligent, too cunning, and far too powerful for Luna to be of any use, even in a surprise attack.
In addition, at that point, Luna was still too young and inexperienced, so her abilities were still useless against high level celestials and above. So, despite having questioned Luna about her abilities, they knew she wouldn't be of use here. But, that didn't mean she was useless.
