Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2051 Luna said, "In the future, when I find the opportunity, I'll definitely bring Andrew under my command." Montgomery chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with deeper meaning. "Bringing Andrew under your command is probably just your surface thought, isn't it? Deep down, you want to use him to find out where the Lloyds' heir is hiding, right?" Luna's cheeks flushed red, but she pressed her lips together and stayed silent. When she was embarrassed, she never acted like a shy little girl. Instead, she became quiet, and that silence only made her beauty more striking.

Montgomery smiled knowingly. "Luna, in your whole life, you've never paid much attention to any young man of talent. The only exception is the Lloyds' heir. The truth is, you're both of the same age. Since you were little, his name was already known everywhere, so in a way, you grew up hearing about him." He asked, "ell me honestly, Luna... Do you like him?" Luna froze, and for a long moment she did not answer. Finally, she shook her head, then nodded again, her voice uncertain. "I wouldn't call it liking him. It's more like ---- admiration." She added, "Grandpa, do you know the feeling?

Everyone around you seems dull and boring, and then one day, someone extraordinary appears, someone you can't help but look up to. Slowly, you care more and more about them and wonder how they are. "When I heard he was in trouble back then, do you know what I thought? I even wanted to defy my mentor's orders and go to Chetvine to find him." Montgomery nodded slowly. "That kind of passion... aside from love, I don't know what else to call it. Luna, I think you may truly have feelings for the Lloyds' heir. But I must remind you that the chances for you two are slim." Luna let out a sharp snort.

"If I really wanted it, no obstacle could stop me. But, Grandpa, let me correct one thing. I don't think it's love. Like I said, it's admiration. It's recognition of someone who feels like my equal, someone who makes me feel glad they exist. "There's something you don't know. When I trained in Chetvine, under my mentor's brutal methods, life felt worse than death. More than once, I thought I couldn't endure any longer. ---- "T didn't care about becoming Holtrien's youngest general, or about breaking into the top ten of the Titan List. I didn't want fame or power.

But the family's expectations, and my own pride, kept me from walking away. "IT was trapped between the two, suffering. One day, I went to the Scarlet Lounge in Chetvine to ease my despair. Beneath the wishing tree, I prayed that heaven would grant me happiness, that I wouldn't have to suffer so much. "And then, I heard a voice telling me, 'From today onward, you'll be happy forever. All your wishes will come true. Whatever you want, whatever goal you have, will be yours.' I was stunned. I never thought the wishing tree would speak.

"Then I realized someone behind the tree was laughing, clearly teasing me. I ran after him, but he was already fleeing. He looked back from a distance and shouted, apologizing, saying he hadn't meant to eavesdrop."
