Sirius was dead?
Both Luna and Joshua froze when they heard this. The two of them exchanged looks of disbelief.
How could this be?
If Sirius had died more than 20 years ago, how could Charlotte, who was only in her early twenties, have found out about everything that happened between Sirius and Todd and even use this to threaten him?
There was no way to explain this at all!
Charles sighed when he saw the shocked looks on Luna and Joshua's faces. "Sirius has indeed died twenty years ago; I was the one who buried him.
"Sirius was a kind and soft child, and he had always treated Rosalyn like his sister. Every time he found something good, he'd always share it with Rosalyn. Not only that
Charles let out another sigh. "When I accidentally mistook Rosalyn for Lucy in my drunken state many years ago and slept with her... Sirius was the first to beat me up for it."
Charles was a little sheepish to bring up the memories of this incident. "I admit that I was in the wrong for what happened, but I never thought Sirius would be so angry as to beat me up as soon as he saw me. That was the first time I had ever been on the receiving end of a punch."
Luna could not help recalling the videos she had seen.
From the videos embedded within the chip Samuel had given her, Sirius had claimed that Lucy was the reason Charles had abandoned Rosalyn.
Because of this, he would not allow anyone to hurt Rosalyn because she was the kindest soul he knew.
The video, as well as Charles' account of what happened all those years before, made Luna's hairs stand on end.
