Eloise's eyes shimmered with excitement the moment she opened the door. Just moments ago, they were shocked by the news of Gideon's arrest, and now, Eryx Cyrus Grantham was standing right in front of their house.

Eryx immediately raised his hand, stopping her before she could say anything more. "I'm looking for Lunara," he said bluntly.
"Oh, what's with her?" She blinked repeatedly, thinking she would look cute doing it.

Eryx didn't entertain the small talk. "Is Lunara here?"
Eloise perked up, her excitement still intact. "Why? Did something happen? Are you—"
