The Dragon Lord System
S3 - "Secret"

In a mounting rage, Karina quickly closed the door of the throne room with quite a force.

His emotions were still burning from the previous quarrel, and he decided to step away from that place.

With quick steps, Karina moved towards the 15th floor, intending to continue her father's dungeon expansion quietly.

However, his steps came to a sudden halt as he sensed something was hugging him from behind.

When the touch happened, the emotions in Karina immediately peaked again.

Before he could turn around, his lips murmured in an annoyed tone, "Who dares to touch me with your filthy hands?!!!"

His intention to retaliate with a harsh action was evident in his words.

In an instant, Karina's mind had created various cruel scenarios of how she would punish the offender who dared to touch her.

Even if it was Zara or even the innocent golems, her intention to brutally vent anger seemed unstoppable.

When Karina finally looked back and looked down, she was surprised to find her little sister, Luna, in an embrace.

At that moment, his anger that was burning seemed to disappear instantly. To him, nothing is more important than his brother and father, even if it means those who touch his body.

The angry look on Karina's face turned full of tenderness when she heard the trembling voice of her sister, Luna.

Her cries sounded melancholic and sad, resulting in a hikss tone.

Luna hugged her sister tightly, even until Luna's head was nowhere to be seen, probably because it was hidden inside her brother's arms.

Encouraged by love and caring, Karina gently embraces Luna. Although Karina often showed a hard and firm attitude, the depth of her heart for her sister remained warm.

"Sis.." said Luna in a soft voice, calling her older sister, Karina, while hugging her tightly.

The nickname "Sis" was a familiar call that Luna had always used for Karina, showing their closeness.

The warm embrace lasted for a moment before Luna let go, leaving a sad expression on her originally cheerful face. Tears flowed from his eyes, describing how deep his sadness was.

Seeing her sister who was usually full of spirit become so devastated, Karina felt anxious.

He lowered his tall body to hug his sister warmly, trying to provide support.

A worried voice rang out from his voice as he asked, "Luna, what happened to you?"

Luna's cry further triggered a sense of worry in Karina's heart. He wanted to make sure his sister was okay.

Empathetically, he looked at Luna's eyes gently, wiping away the tears flowing down her cheeks.

Luna, among her cries, painstakingly revealed, "Or-Orthrosku su-has no sis...." His disjointed words and sobs made his sentence sound fragile.

Hearing the tragic news about Orthros, Luna's beloved pet, Karina felt a tremor of pain in her heart, She hugged Luna even tighter.

"Are you sure, Luna?" karina asked in a soft voice, trying to calm her crying sister in her arms.

Luna slowly took out the remaining gemstones from within Orthros' body, stored them inside the storage dimensional space, then gave them to Karina before hugging her sister back. His face was still full of sadness.

In that moment, Karina feels the trust of her sister, and she reluctantly realizes that Luna's beloved pet, Orthros, is gone.

With a quick thought, Karina linked some of the clues she had obtained.

The insect intruders he had just met in his father's throne room, and now the presence of Orthros' magic stone gem, gave him a clue that the six intruders were the mastermind behind Luna's pet death.

However, all the rage and grudges raging within him were endless, Only one of them managed to escape mysteriously.

Karina felt angry and overwhelmed by this feeling; they dared to kill her sister's pet, but she could not take revenge because the intruders had perished.

"It's all... It's my fault, sis," said Luna with a voice trembling with regret, while tightly hugging her sister, Karina.

Karina gently rubbed Luna's back, trying to calm her sister down.

"No, Luna. It's not your fault. That lowly insect is responsible."

"I know, ta-but, sis. papa warned me not to go. He knew about the intruders coming, and that they might hurt my Orthros. But, I remain stubborn, I want to go on an adventure with Brother Sebas. I'm sorry I didn't listen to papa."

Karina clasped her shoulders understandingly, feeling jumbled by the emotion evident in her sister's eyes.

Luna is notoriously stubborn and often contradicts her wishes with the advice of their father.

Karina feels that this incident might be a valuable lesson for Luna, in order to learn to respect and trust her father's words in the future.

However, behind her desire to teach Luna a lesson, Karina also felt sad to see her grieving sister.

Orthros is not just a pet to Luna, but her friends and best friends. Losing her pet was hard for her.

In the warm embrace of her sister, Luna felt a warmth and support that made her feel calmer.

Not long after, Karina seemed to have a plan implied in her eyes. Gently, he let go of Luna's embrace and said, "Luna my sister, wait a minute huh?"

Luna nodded with a curious expression, watching her brother who went back to the throne room.

While waiting, he pondered about what Karina might be thinking.

Karina hastened back to her father's throne, and Karina has made up her mind.

He ordered the Giant Angel Golem, Gameciel, to hand over the three bodies of the intruders lying in the throne room.

Nimble, Gameciel took the three bodies and delivered them to Karina. Then, with the help of her storage dimension, Karina kept the lifeless bodies of the intruders.

After finishing arranging everything, Karina walked out of the throne room and returned to Luna with quick steps.

Karina gently wiped the tears flowing down Luna's cheek with her finger.

She gave a soothing smile and said, "Already, don't cry anymore, my sister. I have a way to make your pet come back to life. So, stop crying."

Luna, who was previously crying sobbing, suddenly stopped and looked at Karina with her eyes sparkling with hope.

"REally?!" he said with a burning spirit.

"Yes of course, then follow me, Luna," said Luna excitedly as she slowly stood up from her place.

"Of course, sis! But wait a minute."

Karina smiled at the change in her sister's mood and gave her time.

Luna returned with a large egg in her hand, holding it carefully using both hands.

"Alright, sis! Let's go!" excitedly.

While Karina saw Luna return with a large brownish-colored egg of golden spots.

He asked in a curious tone, "Why did you bring that big egg, Luna?"

Luna got excited again and quickly replied, "Secret!"

Karina just smiled at her sister's behavior.

"Alright, let's go," Karina said as she joined hands with her sister, Luna.

The curious Luna asked, "Where are we going, sis?" He could not wait to see Orthros come back to life.

Karina simply replied with a mysterious smile, "Secret."

Shortly after, Luna looked at Karina and immediately puffed her cheeks with her trademark scruffy expression.

Karina saw this and couldn't bear to hold back her laughter. Laughing loudly until it resounded in the hallways of the dungeon.

However, unwittingly, Luna's steps are followed by a number of small beetles hiding in her clothes. They look like loyal followers.

Finally, the two of them walked towards the "Secret" place that Karina spoke of.
