As they left the Nightstar estate, a luxurious black car was already waiting in front of the gate, hovering a little above the ground. Behind and in front of it were two more cars of the same type. Apparently, Mother was being overprotective of Lucas. Even before his memories returned, Lucas almost never left the estate since there was no need. But if he did, he was always accompanied by a lot of guards, and wherever he went, it would be emptied out beforehand. He had that much authority, being the son of the one who ruled Moon City.
Looking at the bodyguards walking behind him and those inside the luxurious cars, he couldn't help but release a bitter smile.
"Lucielle, isn't this overkill? I'm sure we don't need so many bodyguards."
"Young master, even though you never bothered going out much, that doesn't mean you won't be noticed. In fact, being the only son and heir of the Nightstar family made everyone in this city even more curious about what type of person you are. There have even been many times when paparazzi tried to sneak into the Nightstar estate to catch a glimpse of you. In other words, you're a celebrity because of your own laziness."
'Ugh, paparazzi are always annoying, no matter what world we live in. How bold of them to even think about sneaking into the Nightstar estate,' Lucas thought.
"Fine, but don't I have you with me, Lucielle? I'm sure you would protect me from anything, right?" Lucas said with innocent and trusting eyes, looking up at Lucielle.
'Ugh!'
Lucielle's heart took critical damage!
"F-fine, young master. I will lower the number of guards accompanying us, but there will be two cars of guards following us, and by NO means are you allowed to leave my side. Understood, young master?" Lucielle said in a strict tone.
'Heheh, who could resist any request in front of the eyes of a child?'
"Yes, I promise, Lucielle. I won't leave your side. Don't worry, now let's go."
Lucas was naturally very excited actually, since this is the first time, with his memories, that he is going to explore the city. Even before then, he barely left the estate.
'Damn, what was my old self doing, not exploring father's city? I was too lazy and a shut-in. I mean, I still am lazy, I guess, just not a shut-in... in this life cough.'

Moon City has always been a relatively peaceful city. Sure, trouble could arise occasionally, but most of the time, it would be resolved by the Order of the Falling Stars. The city was peaceful, and the citizens were usually happy.
Civilians could be seen walking through the city, but today was an unusual day. A rumor was circulating that someone extremely important was in the city. How did they know this? Because of the media. Several photos were uploaded of three extremely expensive and luxurious cars driving through the city. Now, it's normal for important people to visit cities, especially Moon City, but this was different... because the car in the middle had the Nightstar plate on it! This meant that there was a huge chance that someone from the Nightstar family was inside the car.
Discussions were buzzing on the internet, trying to figure out which member of the Nightstar family could be inside the car. Most people believed it was Alexander Nightstar, the ruler of the city, while others thought it might be Violet Nightstar. But some were considering the possibility that it could be the heir of the Nightstars who decided to visit the city today. Most people dismissed this idea, thinking it was impossible, since the son of the Nightstars apparently never left the estate. Not much was known about him except that his name was Lucas Nightstar, he was 12 years old, and he had white hair and red eyes.
***********
"Was it really smart to drive a car with the Nightstar plate on it?" Lucas couldn't help but ask. Wouldn't they basically be telling everyone where he is?
"Of course, young master. The moment you step out of the car, it would be inevitable for people not to know who you are. So, we might as well let them know as a warning not to do anything stupid in the city today, since someone from the Nightstar family is here," Lucielle explained.
"I see, that does make sense, I suppose. By the way, what is the name of the restaurant we are going to, Lucielle?" Lucas asked, since he didn't really go out much. He didn't know what they should do, so he decided to leave it up to Lucielle. Yes, he was actually just being lazy and would follow along.
"We are going to a restaurant first since you haven't eaten dinner. The restaurant is the best one in the city, called Moon Fish," Lucielle said proudly.
"Oh, I look forward to a delicious meal then."
"Of course, young master. The staff has already been contacted that someone from the Nightstar family will be coming over to eat, and I told them not to empty out the restaurant, as per your request."
"By the way, young master, why did you not let the restaurant be emptied out?" Lucielle asked, not understanding Lucas' reason.
"Huh, isn't that simple? I just don't want to ruin the atmosphere or the food that they paid for," Lucas said, as if it was obvious.
Lucielle had a surprised expression since she didn't think Lucas would consider someone else's feelings, except his family's.
"How unexpected of you, young master. I didn't think you would care about other people."
"Huh, I mean it's not like they have done anything to me, have they? Besides, they are citizens of my father's city."
"And" Lucas suddenly said, as if he was not finished talking.
"And?" Lucielle asked.
"...I would only destroy someone if they would dare to harm someone I care about," Lucas suddenly said with a cold tone that sent shivers down the spine of the driver and surprised Lucielle even further, since she could see the bloodlust coming out of Lucas.
'To think he could have this amount of bloodlust.'
Lucielle suddenly smiled.
"That is wonderful to hear, young master."
After that serious conversation, we talked about random things to kill time until we arrived at the restaurant, and everything was back to normal, except for the pale face of the driver.
'The young master is scary!'
After about 15 more minutes, we finally stopped, as we arrived at the restaurant.
*********
The Moonfish Restaurant was a three-story tall establishment where it was almost impossible to reserve a spot to eat. You'd have to be rich as well to even order something there.
As people walked by the famous Moonfish Restaurant, they suddenly stopped. Everyone ceased moving, even breathing, as if someone had frozen them in place. Why? Because three luxurious cars had pulled up in front of the Moonfish Restaurant.
All eyes were drawn to the three cars, particularly the middle one with the Nightstar plate. People were curious about who was inside. Was it the lord? The madame? Or perhaps both? Did they decide to go out on a dinner date? Everyone kept pondering and coming up with theories.
However, what they saw made their eyes almost bulge out of their sockets and would become an extremely hot topic for the next few years.
The door opened, and one of the bodyguards stepped out of the other two cars, followed by a young 12-year-old boy. The boy had hair as white as snow and eyes as red as blood. He looked young but was incredibly handsome and cute at the same time. Yet...
The moment he stepped on the ground, it felt as if a calamity had descended upon them.
On this day, Lucas Nightstar revealed himself to the world.
