Seraphina looked at her step daughter with a worried gaze, she was concerned about the sudden change that appeared in her.
'She did not feel like her usual self, it was more like- Keiran! But how?!'
She rammed her mind thinking of the possible situations. Apart from her no one noticed the changes inside of her.
She was able to notice them because she was the closest to the twins that anyone else. Aiden may be close but he was not mature enough to understand many things.
"Sister did a number on that man…" Aiden mumbled looking at the state of the dead body. His voice was trembling in fear as well.
Arion simply looked at the stage with narrowed eyes.
'Something felt off just now, but what??'
No matter how much he tried to make reason out of it, he could not grasp what was happening.
"The winner of this match is Princess Luna!!!" After coming out of his shock the commentator exclaimed out loud, declaring her victory.
Most of the people cheered but the rest looked at her with fear and awe.
"She is my new Idol!!" A woman exclaimed looking at the leaving figure of the white haired girl. She looked at Luna with Stars in her eyes.
She was not the only one many people had started to think the same thing.

Luna opened the door and she felt like she was having a Deja vu when she saw the concerned eyes staring at her. Behind the concern there was a little self-blame.
Walking in front of she moved her hands towards his face. Cupping his face in her hand Luna looked at him with eyes that were brimming with love and warmth.
"What are you thinking?"
*Chuckle*
Hearing the familiar question Keiran chuckled a little and replied with a sad tone.
"I am sorry! It must hurt right. I went past the limit-"
Luna silenced him by placing her lips on his and she she all of her feelings for him through their link.
Keiran visually calmed a little, separating as she looked in his eyes and explained.
"I am fine brother, we have been through a worse amount of pain in our training. This pain was because you cared for me so much, you couldn't sit still." She removed her hands and hugged him, placing her ears on his chest listening to his heartbeat.
"Besides, I love it when you care for me so much!" Kerian chuckled and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"But that does not mean you get to interrupt my fun, promise me you will not interfere unless it's absolutely necessary." She moved back to look in his eyes and added with a stern voice.
"I will not interrupt you unless it's absolutely necessary." Keiran repeated her words but he knew it would be a difficult task to keep himself from interfering when someone is insulting her in front of him.
"Let's have our dinner. It's about time, you can change first." Keiran looked at the blood stains on her body and added. Luna nodded and walked towards the bathroom while Keiran looked at the list placed on the table.
It was a list with information about the participants and their information. This list was available to every participant, it only contained the public information about their abilities.
Even though there was not enough information about the abilities, he could still get a basic understanding about the nature of different ether powers.
'What do you think, system?'
[ About what, Host? ]
The familiar sound appeared in his mind as he flipped through the list.
'What is the most important thing I require at the moment.'
[ The host needs many things to learn. You have just started the journey, so you cannot rush learning one skill after another when you haven't even mastered your own skill.]
Hearing the system's reply Kerian nodded solemnly. He knew what it was saying was true. Neither he nor Luna had reached tier two with their Original ability.
Although their Body Strengthening ability was on tier two but that was it.
He was seriously contemplating the options for his next moves. When the system's voice rang inside his mind once more.
[ Even though you should not learn new skills, there are other things you can try. ]
Hearing those words Keiran regained some hope and he waited for the system to continue. Before the system could speak again the door of the bathroom opened and
Luna walked out of it, she had changed into casual clothing. She was wearing a loose beige top, along with a long black skirt. She was still wearing the earrings Keiran gave her.
Seeing her outfit a smile appeared on Keiran's face.
'we will talk later.'
[....]
Hearing his words the system turned silent. Keiran stood up and walked towards her.
"Shall we go now?"
He had already changed into his casual outfit after his fight was over so he did not have to change again.
Luna nodded and held the hand he was offering her. With that they both walked out of the room and made their way towards the cafeteria.
The nobles and higher ranking people had a separate cafeteria where they could sit in a lounge and enjoy their meals while communicating with one another.
The twins walked through the empty hallway until they arrived in front of large doors. Two guards stood in front of the door.
Seeing the new arrivals the guards turned their attention towards them and they trembled in fear.
Both of them watched today's match and they knew how cruel both of them could be despite their young appearance.
With hurried steps they bowed and opened the door for them.
As the door opened the twins saw a well lit room with a warm setting. There was slow music playing inside that entered their ears.
Not waiting any longer they walked inside and scanned the room.
In the middle of the room was a table full of all kinds of dishes, there were several workers that were working behind the counters and walking in the room.
A corner of the room was filled with all kinds of drinks and beverages. While another corner had luxurious settings for people to sit and enjoy their meals.
When they both entered the room, they took the staff's attention as their appearance was the most unique and beautiful in the whole kingdom.
Yet the staff which should be attending them was now scared to approach them. Keiran did not care about them and was about to move but a voice from the side stopped him in his tracks.
"We meet again, Prince Keiran~, Princess Luna."
