The female servant who was holding the medical kit gasped when she saw the injuries on Soren's body, and her eyes softened significantly as she looked up at his tired face. 

"How's Young Master Luca?" Mr. Spencer asked as he signaled the female servants to tend to Soren. The female servants nodded, and when they placed their glowing hands on Soren's wounds and mumbled something under their breaths, Juin watched in amazement as Soren's wounds slowly healed over, except for the deep cut on his sleeveless arm. 

He also noticed how Soren kept taking glances at the female servant with the red hair.

"He's fine… Still sleeping. I think the events today probably stressed him out," Soren said as he stopped the female servants from trying again. He then looked at the female servant with the red hair and said gently, "Stop, that's out of your limits… I need stitches for this…" 

The female servant nodded and quickly took the antiseptic and the necessary instrument out of her medical kit. 

Soren then looked at Juin. The way he turned his head so smoothly was as if he had already known Juin was there, watching the entire thing unfold. "Young Master Juin, it's late. Please head back to your room now…"

"What happened earlier?" Juin asked, trying to take a peek by inching closer and closer to the door.

"Nothing important," Soren said with a matter-of-fact tone, closing the door behind him as the female servants cleaned and stitched up his wound. 

Looking at Soren's expressionless face, Juin knew that he could not get anything out of him, so he looked at Mr. Spencer instead, who seemed to have aged slightly, probably from overexertion, and asked, "Mr. Spencer? Is Luca alright?" 

"Young Master Luca is alright. He just had a nightmare…" Mr. Spencer said, wiping his damp forehead with a towel that the male servant handed him. After giving out some instructions, he then went to Juin and asked, "If you can't fall back to sleep now, would you like to drink some tea with me?"

Being extremely curious about Luca's condition, Juin nodded. He followed Mr. Spencer to the kitchen and sat on the marble island while the man took some cookies out of the pantry and brewed some tea for them. 

Once he seated down, Mr. Spencer said, "Did the noise wake you up?"

"More like the earthquake… which wasn't earthquake at all, right?" 

Mr. Spencer nodded. "That's Young Master Luca. Every time he has a nightmare, he can't control what's going on around him. Everyone else is already used to it by now, and you will be too after a while." 

Stirring his black tea, Juin asked, "What do you mean he can't control it?"

"President Presley has placed multiple wards in Young Master Luca's room, to help him sleep, but occasionally, when Young Master Luca's emotions are not stable, he will get nightmares. And in his nightmare, he has no control over what's happening in real life, because to him, he's merely fighting with someone in his dreams."

"Is this something that affects Elementalists?" 

"The young ones, yes," Mr. Spencer said as he took a sip of his tea. "Usually, if they are discovered from a young age, the Elementalists would be given training on how to handle their emotions and thoughts, and when they reached a.d.u.l.thood, this kind of thing would rarely, if ever, happen again. 

"However, by the time President Presley discovered Young Master Luca, he's already too old, and the fact that he witnessed his parents' death only made his condition harder to control."

"He what?" Juin's eyes widened slightly. 

"Ah…" Mr. Spencer hesitated for a while before sighing. "You will know sooner or later, so it's no harm telling you now, Young Master Juin. You see, when Young Master Luca's power first manifested, it happened in the middle of the night, and his parents, being normal humans, had no idea what was happening. They went into his room, and not knowing that the tornado that was forming in their son's room wasn't there to hurt him, they tried to grab him… And the rest, is history…"

Juin nodded slowly. Based on Mr. Spencer's words, he could somewhat guess what happened to Luca's parents. Even so, Juin still found it hard to forgive the guy for hurting the innocent Max and nearly causing her death. 

"And because of that, Young Master Luca is often haunted by his nightmares," Mr. Spencer said with a sigh before taking a bite of a piece of buttercookies. "Luckily he has Soren now. At least Soren can make sure that none of the flying items hurt Young Master Luca while he sleeps."

When he said that, Juin made an "O" shape with his lips. Now he knew why Soren was badly injured. The guy must have been trying to protect Luca's sleeping body with his own. 

"I wonder if Cyrus would ever do that for me…" Juin thought, but he quickly shook that thought out of his mind. That little beast might be cute, but he was too proud to ever think of Juin as his owner, much less using his body to protect Juin.

With a sigh, Juin thought wryly, "At least I can count on him not to kill me… And he's strong enough to fend off the others. As long as I don't pissed him off, I think he won't just stand around and watch others kill me…" 

"You said that President Presley has placed wards in Luca's room, but they are all ineffective?" Juin asked. 

Mr. Spencer nodded. "They never last long. Young Master Luca is growing stronger day after day, and even in sleep, he could easily break the wards. The only thing we could do is to use a spell manually to help console and comfort him in his sleep." 

"Is there no stronger ward?" 

"There is, but President Presley is reluctant to use them. Have you learned how to access your Soul Dimension?" 

Juin nodded since he didn't see any reason to lie about it. 

"Well, then you should know that people often train in their Soul Dimension. President Presley was afraid that he might impede Young Master Luca's growth if he placed wards that were too strong to the point that Young Master Luca would fall into a deep sleep every time he sleeps. Humans learn while sleeping, and this concept applies to supernatural humans as well…"
