The moment Luca told the meaning of his name, a moment of silence descended upon the room.
And then the elves erupted.
Luna was the first to speak, her voice filled with admiration.
"Whoa! I didn't expect your surname to have such a powerful title to it!"
She whispered under her breath. "The one who made the deal with the devil. It's so intimidating!"
Lulu was practically jumping up and down, her hands waving excitedly.
"So cool! So cool! I want a surname like that as well!"
"Silverleaf looks so boring in comparison to Faust!" She rubbed her belly gently. "I feel jealous of my own children who are going to inherit that name!"
"I want that surname." Nyx's eyes lit up, as she turned to her sister. "Can I take it, Leona!? Change mine to Faust?!"
"Absolutely not!" Leona scoffed. "A surname is a sacred thing, passed down through generations. You can't just discard it on a whim."
Nyx pouted, looking genuinely disappointed.
