Luceniel and Elunara entered their new home.Inside the house, there was a very big hall and an open kitchen.Their new home had three floors with different rooms and even a library.
"Hey Luceniel, don't you think this house is very nice?" Elunara asked.
"Yep, this house is perfect for us. But we still have to wait for them to bring all our stuff. I hope they're all safe."
"Let's wait for now, they should come in just 10–20 minutes, I think."
"Yeah... but hey, didn't you forget what I said to you last time?" Luceniel whispered in Elunara's ear.
Elunara's face turned red. "Let's wait for tonight and see who sleeps first."
They both stared at each other and laughed.After 20 minutes, everyone reached the house safely.
They were all searching for Luceniel and Elunara.
Luceniel and Elunara came out of the house.Everyone was very happy to see them.
"Sir, ma'am, how did you reach here before us?"
Elunara smirked, "You all don't have to worry about that right now. First, unload all the stuff and come. I'll tell you where to put everything. And you, Luceniel… I think you know what you have to do, right, honey?" She smiled.
Luceniel, with hesitation, said, "Yeah, I know. Let me just grab my laptop and stuff. I need to update Lily's core and other things."
Everyone started unloading the stuff from the cars and placing it inside the house.
Luceniel went to one of the rooms and started updating Lily's core.Sigh "If only I had the Ruby of Star, I could create my 7th energy core. But looks like I have to wait more for that.""Okay, I've put Lily on update. I should go check on my robots now. I need them for my deals—I don't want any trouble.""I know many people are after me. That doesn't matter, but now… they're also after Elunara. For our family's protection, I need to complete them so no one can harm us."
Luceniel started building his robot.The robot was white and blue, 8 feet tall, and in the center, it had a glowing red energy core.
"Okay, it's complete… but still, I can only make one-core robots. If I can finally create a 5-core robot, it could even control atoms.""According to that book, the human body is made of five elements—fire, water, earth, air, and space.""This one has the fire element. I'll make the other three now, but for the space element… I need the Ruby of Star."
Luceniel completed the four robots, each with different elements:
One was red and white, with the power of fire.
One was blue and white, with the power of water.
One was brown, with the power of earth.
And the last one was white and sky blue, with the power of air.
"Right now, the strongest is the air one. If it can use its power properly, it can even make a black hole.""Ahh… I'm tired now. Lily still needs one more hour, and all the robots will take two hours to finish. I should go downstairs and check if everything is fine."
Luceniel went downstairs and saw only Elunara there.
Elunara smiled as Luceniel came in.
"Honey, did you finish updating Lily? I need her help with something."
Luceniel gave a soft smile. "Sorry, honey, but Lily still needs one more hour. But tell me, what help do you need?"
Elunara gave a sad look and sighed, "Really? It's okay. Right now, all our stuff is set up. We both have to go to the company tomorrow… you remember that, right?"
"Of course, honey. How could I forget?" Luceniel hugged Elunara.
"Okay, can you make some food for now, please? It's been a while since I ate your cooking." Elunara looked at Luceniel with puppy eyes.
Luceniel's heart couldn't take it. He wore an apron and went to the kitchen to make some food.After 30 minutes, Luceniel came out of the kitchen with many dishes.
Elunara was very happy to see all the food.She kissed Luceniel's cheek as a reward and went to the table to eat.
"Really, the food you make is the best. Thanks, honey."
Sigh "Yeah… I had to learn how to cook because of someone," Luceniel teased.
Elunara smiled and said, "Well, it's really good. You make the best food."
30 minutes later, they finished their meal, and Lily's update was also complete.
Luceniel washed all the plates and cups.
Suddenly, Lily appeared in front of Elunara and said in a cute voice,"Good morning, Mom!"
Elunara was very happy to see Lily. She hugged her and said,"Lily, your update is done. I really missed you."
"Yeah, Mom. Now I can control everything around us. I can even hack any system, and I've already upgraded all the security systems around our house."
Elunara patted Lily. "Good girl. Lily, you have to help me with tomorrow's ceremony. Your grandfather is coming to Country A in a week, so before that, I have to check all the company deals. You'll help me, right?"
"I can help you. Don't worry, Mom," Lily said with a smile.
In the kitchen, Luceniel had a sad look and said quietly to himself,"Looks like I have to tell Elunara now. I hope she can take it… or else, she'll find out herself after one week."
Luceniel came out of the kitchen and sat beside Elunara.
"Honey, why don't we go two days later, after all my robots are done? That way, we won't have to face any danger."
"But why? You also have to meet many people and show your innovations. You know that, right?"
Luceniel hugged Elunara."Honey… your father didn't come to Country A. He gave you all the shares and told me to take care of you."
Elunara didn't understand and smiled,"What are you saying, honey? Okay, my father didn't come but…"
Suddenly, Elunara remembered the night before coming to Country A.She saw her father taking medicine, and Kaelron helping him to his room.
"Wait… please don't say it, Luceniel…" tears formed in her eyes"Honey… please tell me if my father is okay… please tell me…"
Luceniel gave a signal to Lily.Lily disappeared and went to the room where all the robots were updating. She whispered sadly,"I told Dad to tell Mom during the flight so she could take it…" Lily looked down with a sad expression.
In the hall, Elunara gave a worried smile and asked Luceniel,"Honey… please tell me my father is alright. He looked healthy before we came here… please..."She buried her head in Luceniel's chest.
Luceniel gently patted her back.
"Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Your dad... he doesn't have more than half a month left. He wanted to stay in a quiet place. He didn't tell anyone where he went."
"BUT… you know where he is, right?! You know—so please tell me! Please!"
"Sorry, Elunara... but I promised your dad I wouldn't tell anyone. I'm really sorry."
Elunara started crying harder and buried her face in Luceniel's chest, punching him lightly.
After some time, Elunara calmed down and looked up at Luceniel.
Luceniel kissed her forehead."I'll tell you everything tomorrow. Just trust me, okay?"
Suddenly, Lily appeared in front of Elunara and hugged her.
Elunara asked Lily if she knew.
Lily gave a sad nod.
Elunara didn't say anything and started getting up.
Luceniel quickly held her hand and hugged her tightly."Please… Lily didn't do anything wrong. She just followed my order. Please, Elunara… if you want to be angry, be angry at me, not her."
Elunara hugged Luceniel tightly and said,"Don't leave me."
Lily and Luceniel hugged her back and said together,"Of course."
After 30 minutes, a sound came from a room.
"Dad, looks like your robots are ready. Let's go!"
"Oh! I almost forgot about that. Let's go, Elunara. I'll show you the gift I've made for you."
Elunara didn't get up from the couch. She said in a soft, sad tone,"You both go… I need some time…"
Before she could finish, Luceniel picked her up in princess style and said,"Sorry, but I promised your father to make you happy. I can't see you sad."
Elunara laughed and kissed Luceniel on the lips."Okay, let's go."
They all went inside the room.All the robots started walking the moment they saw Luceniel.They rushed toward him.
