Chapter 2: The story of The Black Moon Order
As the king left all the guards came back and stood still in their spots like statues not talking or moving.
-----
Lucifer suddenly appears inside a normal looking room with just a bed for two and lays on it thinking about something. The place where he appeared is the forbidden mansion, it's a place that's the size of the Kings Palace but that's just from the outside, underneath the earth the size of it is atleast 5 times of the palace and he is all alone inside of it, noone is allowed anywhere near it, noone knows who built it or for who was it built, for other people noone has entered this mansion for generations, some commoners don't even know it exists, only the direct royal blood family members know who ever lives in it, but the king is the only one who knows the whole truth and when the new is chosen he will also learn about the secrets of Moon family.
He just lays on the generic bed and all of his clothes disappear and are replaced with normal black shirt and pants.
This is only the surface basic room where he lies. He chose the smallest room because the rest are so big, too big for only one person.
-----
After the king changed his clothes he leaves his room accompanied by several silver guards, the king has a meeting which he is running late to because he had to change his sweaty clothes without people seeing him, the meeting is about some formalities with the new adopted.

Elsie is sitting in her room which is all pink full of stuffed animals, half of her bed is covered with stuffed animals. She is currently lying on the bed hugging the biggest stuffed bear shivering, she was always special, her magic talent was measured to be better then all of her siblings, and she had one of the highest potential for magic in the whole kingdom until an accident happened when she was practising and caused a backlash damaging her mana veins causing her to be basically crippled in terms of magic. Because her mana veins were damaged she can't store any mana in her body it all leaks out. But she still had her special eye which can see mana in the air and with it she had easier time manipulating mana, but now she can only use it to see mana.
When she looked at Lucifer she saw something she wasn't supposed to see. She saw the mana around Lucifer getting contaminated by something black then being sucked into him, usually mana is blue and its very slowly absorbed by humans. But what she was something that's not supposed to happen, absorbing so much mana would make anything explode from mana overload, but he was standing there like nothing was happening to him, and when he looked her in the eyes all the mana went black in front of her and she couldn't see for a brief moment, which sent shivers down her spine.
-----
Screams of pain are heard in the punishment room which are coming from the seventh Prince.
His father did punish him before but never like this, he had to take 10 whips on his bare back, it wouldn't be much of a problem usually but he wasn't allowed to use mana to defend and since he never trained his body and never felt pain, this was an extreme punishment for him, he just couldn't understand what did he do to make his father this angry. He was his son and he was getting whipped because his father order it. Rage burning inside him, he will get revenge for this.
Whip
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Whip
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"That's it for your punishment Timmoty "
said the huge man with a bloody whip in his hand.
Timmoty stands up, his wounds bleeding from he lashes, it will heal up quickly but he won't be able to lie on his back for a couple of days, but the worst part was the humiliation he suffered. He will have his revenge on Lucifer.

Sitting naked in his room with a naked female in his bed sleeping, Alistair was the highest of his siblings, under the robe you couldn't see his muscles but now naked you can see all of his toned muscles, since he had one of the lowest magic talent among his siblings he had to train his body to keep up since he is first born and wouldn't do him good if he was the weakest. Alistair is thinking about what happened today, first his father ordered for the Prince to be kicked in the stomach for something he said to his adopted brother, then later he learned he got another 10 whips. He was thinking about why did his father go so far, he was always a calculative person so he has to get more information about why that happened.
Will he ever even come close to the truth?
-----
While everyone was having their own thoughts Melissa was thinking about her new brother and if he would be willing to play with her. But where can she find him. She heard her seven brother mention the forbidden mansion and was thinking maybe he is living there.
Although there are not any guards around it noone for some reasons dares to come close to it, there were some stories about the mansion from other nobles but they still haven't reached her ears and she does not know about it, so she decides to try her luck, never did it cross her mind why was the mansion a forbidden place to go.
-----
After some time in the throne the meeting is finished and evryone leaves, except for the king who stays in silence pondering about something, then says to the guards standing all around the room
"Evryone leave, call The Black Moon Order they will take on your duties from now on until further notice, in the throne room"
The guards starting leaving but if you looked carefully you could see theirs hands shivering after hearing The Black Moon Order will come into the castle, even though in the eyes of normal people and nobles the silver knights are the strongest of them all in the castle, they know better, compared to those monsters they are nothing, there are only a handful of them and they barely even listen to the king and only would show themselves when the kingdom is facing destruction. 10 of those black knights are enough to destroy the entire silver knight order and there are a thousand silver knights, the elite of the elite carrying the symbol of the moon of their kingdom but in front of those monsters that don't even slow down when you cut them or flinch in pain, there are stories passed down in the silver order about them.
They say 500 years ago they came to help the kingdom in war when one of the neighbours decided to take over the Targon kingdom thinking it was not their match, at first they were wining, once they came near the capital the Moonbay city and started the siege, the black knights decided they needed to intervene they sent out 12 of them against the whole army of Dadel Empire, hearing the order they executed it without question and went to attack jumping off the walls, in the middle of siege they started slaughtering.
Even when cut they just keep killing, the people watching from the walls were scared shitless by their own forces, those guys jumped in the middle of 100 thousand strong army and slaughtered half of the before even suffering the first casualty, even the knight that died, before he died he got his both hands cut off but he still continued killing bitting the necks of his enemies so they bled to death. They killed all of them, none were spared, and The Black Moon Order suffered only 3 casualties, after finishing the army they marched to Dadel Empire and destroyed almost the whole kingdom, with only 9 knights. After the fight Dadel Empire was so weak it crumbled in less then a month and their land shared by the neighbours.
The knights never showed up again and noone knows their full numbers nor how are they replaced and trained, but the fear is still imprinted in their minds.
