The ripples had yet to fade as Luna was held in Qin Si's arms, kicking her legs playfully.
The baby's pink fingertips were speckled with stardust, tracing intermittent silver threads in the morning light—pointing directly towards the East Tower and the Teleportation Circle.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly burst through the Carved Wooden Door, "The Sleep Spell Pillowcase has faded, revealing Tiny Inscriptions!"
Aelia's grip on the embroidery frame tightened suddenly, the silver needle piercing her index finger.
A drop of Blood Pearl fell onto the silk cloth embroidered with entwined roses, staining Leonard's lie about inspecting the borders a dark red.
She recognized her husband's cloak sweeping across the Peacock Stone Tiles, perfectly matching the track of the fading Curse and the Emerging Serpent-Shaped Rift.
The Bronze Brazier in the Magic Castle Hall suddenly erupted with Qing Yan.
"The Lord didn't even leave the West Corridor last night." Lucius toyed with a golden feather quill, sketching the pattern of the Cedar Forest Teleportation Array in the blank spaces of the ledger.
Third Young Master Lucius's pale face reflected an eerie glow as a dozen servants holding Morning Dew Roses stood frozen in place—among those bouquets meant for the Lady of the Fortress, there were unmistakably Nightingale Feathers, Leonard's Concubine's favorite.
Luna suddenly let out a sharp loud cry, drooling stardust onto Qin Si's sleeve.
A maid stumbled and knocked over a Gilded Candelabra, and a falling candle burned a scorch mark into the carpet that resembled the shape of the Binding Array from Luna's dream.
The burning velvet curtains reflected in Aelia's pupils, turning Lucius's tender memories of placing roses on her over twenty years into ashes.
"Aelia, let me explain!" Leonard tore through two Transmutation Array Rune Stones and rushed into the Nursery, the edge of his cloak brushing against Luna's cradle with its Snake Scale Pattern embellishment.
The baby suddenly grabbed hold of his suspended Mithril Pocket Watch chain, memories from a past life flooding forth like a burst dam—this watch face should have been engraved with Aelia's Rose Family Crest, but now it was emerging with a Serpent-Shaped Birthmark from Leonard's Concubine at her collarbone.
"Explain why your cloak is stained with Cedar Resin?" Aelia ripped off her husband's silver collar pin and hurled it at the Honey Wine Mirror. The mirror reflected the current scene at the East Tower: at the edge of the Teleportation Circle shrouded in morning mist lay distinct Hexagonal Horseshoe imprints from Leonard's Concubine's horse-drawn carriage.
Her meticulously cared-for Ailya's White Nails splintered against the cradle post, where Luna had scratched, seeping dark red liquid that twisted into patterns identical to those left by Long Jing’s explosion.
Luna seized the opportunity to smear the melted Stardust Sugar onto the Qian Si Skirt.
As the maid stumbled back in panic, she collided with the Astrolabe, and the refracted Light Spot coincidentally formed the outline of Leonard's Concubine's Ice Cave, where she kept her shadow beast.
The spinning copper Star Trail brushed against Leonard's Hand Back, branding him with a cross-shaped scar identical to the dark Magic Backlash.
"Father said the Teleportation Circle was sealed last year!" Brother San suddenly kicked open the door to the library, throwing a book covered in Spider Webs at everyone's feet.
On the yellowed Parchment, a Rose Emblem identical to that of the East Tower was pierced by a Serpent-Shaped Rift, with the date of Leonard's wedding to Aelia marked during the Midsummer Festival.
Aelia suddenly fell eerily silent.
She removed her Wedding Ring and pressed it against Luna's Palm. The baby immediately clenched its fist and giggled—the liquid from the melted Stardust Sugar seeped into the gemstone Base, triggering the long-dormant Truth Magic from twenty years ago.
In the Light and Shadow cast by the Wedding Ring, Leonard kissed Leonard's Concubine on the forehead in Cedar Forest during Leonard's Last Night, overlapping with the blinding white light of Luna's past when she slayed the shadow beast amidst a burst of Long Jing brilliance.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed as he steadied the staggering Aelia, noticing a Dark Pattern emerging from her nape that shared origins with the Binding Array.
Luna took this chance to smash her saliva-covered fist into the Anshen Incense Pouch sent by her brother. The exploding violet powder coalesced in midair into fragmented Ancient Charms—the key focal point for dispelling Magic Backlash.
Leonard suddenly erupted and extinguished the Astrolabe, yet it cast one last beam of light onto the inner side of his ever-present Pocket Watch.
Amidst the clicking sounds of turning gears, Leonard's Concubine laughed as she ensnared Toxic Vines around the core of the Magic Fortress Defense Array during Leonard's Last Night, revealing every detail as gasps filled the air.
"So that's why every time you mention reinforcing the Defensive Formation..." Aelia snapped her Pearl Necklace, and the round beads rolled towards the cracks in Luna's painted Peacock Stone Tiles.
The baby suddenly emitted a Yiya Sound, and those pearls crushed by Leonard began to automatically reassemble into a Holographic Projection of the East Tower's Teleportation Circle—deep within the Serpent-Shaped Rift, scales of the shadow beast glimmered ominously on Leonard's Concubine's Skirt.
Just as Chief Guard burst in with ice crystals from Cedar Forest, Luna was stuffing her Stardust-covered little feet into her mouth.
The infant with heterochromia reflected the flustered Lord, and seeing the panicked expression that was indistinguishable from that of a traitor in her past life, she knew that the true war was just beginning.
Outside the nursery, the sound of her brother's magical experiments suddenly rang clearer than usual, like the first crack in an Ice Layer that had been imprisoned for a thousand years.
The Honey Wine Mirror in the nursery suddenly burst forth with strange light, absorbing all the violet powder that formed the Ancient Charms.
Luna waved her little hand, dusted with stardust, as fragments of spells pierced through the stone wall like meteors, shooting straight towards the West Tower—where her brother's seventh magical experiment had just failed with a roar.
"My heavens!" Qin Si exclaimed, covering her hair bun that was blown away by the fierce wind.
The Ice Blue Curse Mark that had originally bound her brother's right arm now transformed into Shattered Crystal, cascading down in the explosive aftermath.
The young man in the wheelchair stared blankly at his palm, which he could suddenly lift. The fireball forming at his fingertip no longer burned uncontrollably against his sleeve but curled obediently into an orange orb.
A dull thud echoed from the direction of the library as a Heavy Object fell to the ground.
Second Brother had knocked over an entire row of Ancient Book Racks; Luna's loud cry had shattered the Amber Pendant that sealed his memories.
Amidst the chaos emerged a scene of his close friend mixing Antidote into a Magic Potion—on the inside of that person's sleeve was embroidered a Two-Headed Serpent Emblem, identical to that on Leonard's pocket watch back featuring Luna.
"So it turns out... it was Father who allowed this," Second Brother said, crushing a Stardust Candy Wrapper stained with Luna's saliva. Tang Jing formed into the shape of a Silver Dagger in his palm.
He trembled as he cut through Xuanbing Bracers, revealing wrist veins eroded by Dark Magic. What he once thought was an injury from his friend's misfire now clearly resembled the barbed shape of Toxic Vines imitating Leonard's Concubine.
Brother San's startled cry came from the Stargazing Platform.
In the crystal ball he had accidentally knocked over, it reflected his entry into the Magic Forbidden Zone three years ago—those Star Trails he had once regarded as guidance for talent now clearly displayed traces altered by Leonard using Serpent Spell.
Suddenly, Luna's Anshen Incense Pouch rolled to her feet, and the exploding Lavender Seed spelled out the correct Element Arrangement Formula in mid-air.
"Sister..." Brother San knelt under the vast starry sky, gazing at the baby who smiled at him from three floors away.
He trembled as he unwrapped the treasured Talent Test Scroll, the edges of the Parchment revealing the Snake Scale Pattern, illuminated by the Stardust.
As the first cluster of pure ice crystals blossomed from his Palm, the Young Mage knocked over the "Proof of Talent" trophy he had proudly displayed for twelve years.
Inside the Nursery, Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly floated in mid-air.
Ninety-nine round Ming Zhu reflected ninety-nine moments of Leonard kissing Leonard's Concubine during Leonard's Last Night, piecing together a complete timeline in Luna's Yiya Sound.
When the last pearl was embedded into the East Tower's Teleportation Circle Projection, the entire Magic Castle's Geomancy emitted a Longyin-like Zhen Chan.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si shielded the Cradle with his body.
Her bound hair was shaken loose, and among her Hair emerged a Dark Pattern that shared its origin with Aelia's nape.
Unaware, the maid picked up a Hairpin, its tip stained with Stardust. The unintended point landed on Aelia's Wedding Ring gem Base, automatically activating the second layer of Truth Magic.
Leonard's Ailya's Roar was drowned out by the suddenly active Geomancy Roar.
He attempted to erase the pearl Projection with Dark Magic but found that the Snake Scale Pattern embellishments on his cloak were peeling away piece by piece.
The mark of Leonard's Concubine's Horse-drawn Carriage twisted and deformed under the glow of Stardust, ultimately revealing the rose Family Crest that rightfully belonged to Aelia from Twenty Years Ago.
"Father, look at this!" Brother San burst through the Nursery door, holding an ancient book in hand as it flipped open to the page of Midsummer Wedding Ceremony.
In the yellowed illustration, the groom placing a rose on the bride was magnified a hundredfold—Leonard's pinky hooked onto a Serpent Pattern Tail Ring, perfectly matching the Token of Love he had given to Leonard's Concubine.
Suddenly, Luna let out a joyful cry.
She pressed her saliva-soaked fist against her elder brother's newly formed Magic Circle, the violet residue mixing with Stardust to create a Rainbow Light that flowed through every corner once altered by Leonard.
The Poison Ivy Tattoo on Second Brother's wrist faded in the Rainbow Light, transforming into scattered Rose Petals that fell upon Brother San's redrawn Star Chart.
Aelia stumbled as she leaned against the Window Lattice, witnessing the first plume of normal smoke rising from the West Tower in twelve years—her elder brother had finally emerged from the laboratory, cradling a steaming bowl of Healing Potion Soup in his restored right hand.
Brother San's exclamation came from the Stargazing Platform, where the Ice Phoenix he had successfully summoned gracefully preened its feathers. As its tail brushed against the Shadow Barrier laid by Leonard's Concubine, it melted away like spring snow.
"Mother..." Luna suddenly uttered broken syllables, startling Qin Si into spilling Rosewater.
The essence of Luna flowed with the memories of slaying shadow beasts in a past life, her tiny hand accurately pointing towards Second Brother's waist and Leonard's Sword.
Cracks that had marred Jian Qiao for years suddenly burst forth with Strong Light, revealing the Family Motto obscured by Dark Magic—"Roses bloom above the truth."
Seizing the opportunity, Leonard lunged for the Transmutation Array Rune Stone but was ensnared by thorns formed from his own cloak.
Within the Truth Shadow cast by Aelia's Wedding Ring, dark spells buried under the pretense of reinforcing the Defensive Formation over Twenty Years were now being gradually dismantled by the Rainbow Light.
As the last Serpent-Shaped Rift vanished into Geomancy, the Magic Castle Dome was bathed in a dawn that had not graced it for a century.
Qin Si silently picked up fragments of Aelia's shattered Ailya's White Nails, carefully wrapping them in a handkerchief embroidered with roses.
The maid's lowered eyelashes concealed the moment her pupils dilated—the corner of that cloth, adorned with Twin Lotus, resonated subtly with the Stardust lingering in her hair.
Just as Qin Si's handkerchief brushed against Aelia's bloodied fingertip, the dark-embroidered Twin Lotus on the silk suddenly glimmered with a pearlescent Halo.
The Silver Bracelet on the maid’s wrist warmed imperceptibly; those Memory Seals lying dormant in her Hairpin for Twenty Years were struck by a dual force of Truth Magic from Stardust and Wedding Ring, resulting in fine Ice Cracks.
"Madam, watch out for the shards." Qin Si shielded herself from the Cold Wind seeping through the Window Lattice but allowed her rose-embroidered sleeve to brush against Luna's Cradle.
The infant suddenly stopped gnawing at her toes, and the heterochromia reflected the maid's neck as the serpent pattern gradually took shape—just like the brand on the collarbone of the traitorous maid she had slain in her past life.
Aelia pressed her bloodied fingertip against Qin Si's shoulder. "These years... I'm so glad to have you." She didn't notice the maid's back stiffening in an instant, nor did she realize that the remnants of the wedding ring's stardust were seeping into the other’s body through the blood vein.
Qin Si lowered her head to tidy up her mistress's disheveled hair bun, and a strand of silver hair that fell at her temple suddenly glimmered with an eerie blue hue.
"Mother!" Luna suddenly called out, her drool-covered little hand accurately grabbing hold of Qin Si's waist scent pouch.
The maid stumbled and knocked over a crystal paperweight, and the shattered facets reflected ninety-nine fragments of time and space—each one depicting a scene where Qin Si whispered to the serpent emblem while Aelia slept.
At that moment, Lucius kicked open the nursery door.
Third Young Master Lucius's pale face was tinted with stardust, and in his arms, an ancient book titled Hua La flipped open, finally settling on a page that recorded bloodlines and forbidden techniques.
The young mage's gaze swept over Qin Si's newly replaced emerald earrings, and he suddenly sneered. "Father is truly thoughtful; even the maid's magic accessories are embedded with fragments of the core of the defensive array."
Leonard seized the opportunity to lunge toward Luna's cradle. "Aelia, I can explain everything..." Just as his fingertip was about to touch the infant swaddling, his entire right arm was suddenly ensnared by rose vines emerging from geomancy.
The sharp barbs on the vines were identical to the golden roses he had personally placed in his bride’s hair during their wedding twenty years ago.
"Explain the cedar balm you gave to Qin Si?" Aelia yanked out the liuli bottle hidden in the maid's collar.
In that moment of shattering, a shadow butterfly raised by Leonard's concubine fluttered out, and scale powder pieced together a map of Leonard’s whereabouts from last night in the morning light—each rune of the cedar forest teleportation array completely overlapped with the curse mark of his marriage vow when he sought to marry Aelia.
Luna took this chance to wipe her drool on Lucius's sleeve.
Third Young Master Lucius stared blankly as stardust danced across the blank pages of the ancient book, gradually revealing his mother’s true family motto.
Suddenly, he turned around and cut his palm, letting blood drip onto the projection of the magic fortress earth vein core. "In the name of honor, I Lucius Lucius Von Clown hereby swear—"
As the vow lingered in the air, a thunderous explosion erupted from the West Tower.
The eldest brother burst through the broken window in his Suspended Wheelchair, holding a Healing Potion Soup without spilling a drop.
The Young Mage, whose lips had been sealed for twelve years, finally curved into a smile. "Third Brother's Bloodline Resonance spell is far more interesting than Father's altered Defensive Formation."
Suddenly, Leonard's Pocket Watch began to Reverse Rotation.
He frantically tore at the Rose Vine wrapped around his arm, the Snake Scale Pattern embellishments peeling away in the Rainbow Light, revealing the darkly etched Leonard's Concubine and Ailya's Birthday Rune talismans beneath.
As the last golden fragment fell to the ground, a Roar echoed from the East Tower as the Ice Layer shattered—Second Brother strode through the snow, wielding Leonard's Sword, and the Jian Feng was draped with none other than Leonard's Concubine's beloved Nightingale Feather cloak.
"Does Father know?" Second Brother pressed his poisoned wrist against the Astrolabe Base. "The Chronic Poison that your beloved fed me shares its source magic with the Shadow Thorn planted in the Magic Fortress Leyline." He sliced open the cloak's Lining, and the Two-Headed Serpent Emblem twisted in the Rainbow Light into the Aelia Family's Rose Totem.
Luna suddenly burst into Giggling.
The Wedding Ring clutched by the infant emitted a Strong Light, illuminating every dark corner of the Nursery.
Qin Si hurried to steady a toppled candlestick when her Emerald Earrings unexpectedly shot out a beam of eerie Blue Light, striking the Hexagonal hoofprint left by Leonard's Concubine's Horse-drawn Carriage in Cedar Forest.
"Be careful!" Aelia cried as she rolled Luna into a corner against the wall.
The Dark Pattern binding her nape suddenly ignited with pain, resonating with Qin Si's Emerging Serpent Mark on her Wrist.
The maid’s Handkerchief embroidered with Twin Lotus ignited spontaneously without wind, and from the Ashes emerged a vision of Twenty Years Ago—Leonard handing an infant to a peasant woman during Leonard's Last Night. The edge of that swaddling cloth was embroidered with Qin Si's favorite Yin Ling orchid.
Lucius suddenly crushed a teleportation talisman.
The Young Mage teleported behind Qin Si, and chains of Forbidden Technique flew out from ancient tomes, binding the maid into a cocoon. "Does Father recognize this?" He kicked aside the fallen maid’s Scent Pouch, and within the exploding violet powder lay scales from Leonard's Concubine’s tamed Shadow Beast.
Leonard's pleas were drowned out by the chimes of the Magic Castle Dome.
As the hundredth toll of Zhong Ming, Zhen Chan, and Geomancy rang out, Aelia's Wedding Ring projected a Light Barrier that suddenly coalesced into a blade, etching the image of Leonard's collusion with his Concubine into every piece of Peacock Stone Tile.
Lord frantically clawed at the memory blade but failed to notice his own reflection gradually fading—just like the truths he had erased over the years.
"Mother, look here!" Brother San suddenly hurled a crystal ball from the Stargazing Platform.
In the light trail swept by the Ice Phoenix Tail Feather, the repair progress of the Magic Castle's century-old Defensive Formation was clearly visible—each tampered Node blossomed into a cluster of thorny red roses.
At that moment, Luna climbed up using the Cradle for support.
The baby's stardust-covered feet precisely landed on the Geomancy array's focal point, and the morning light cascading from the Magic Castle Dome suddenly took on a golden hue.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through Qin Si's gradually transparent body, Aelia finally discerned the rose birthmark faintly visible on her maid's chest—it matched perfectly with the mark on her deceased Eldest Sister's collarbone.
Leonard let out a beastly roar.
He crushed the last two teleportation talismans and lunged at Luna, but as he touched the Infant Swaddling, he was pierced through the palm by a Geomancy rose.
Lord looked in disbelief at his vanishing fingertip; those promises he had buried with his own hands were now resurfacing under the Rainbow Light.
"Does Father know?" Lucius slammed an ancient text against Leonard's chest. "True glory is not built on a fortress of lies." The Young Mage's fingertip sparkled with ice crystals, reflecting deep within the Magic Fortress Leyline a slowly rotating Golden Gear—that was Luna’s re-forged Core of Truth made from Stardust, quietly altering the entire castle's Fate Trajectory.
Aelia carried Luna toward the terrace.
Chen Feng lifted her tattered skirt; in the gaps of Floor Tiles restored by Rainbow Light, shadows resembling thorns could be seen struggling and writhing.
When Mother pressed the baby's small hand against the Castle Emblem, a distant wail from the Cedar Forest echoed suddenly, startling a swarm of Ice Phoenixes into flight.
Qin Si's figure became increasingly transparent in the sunlight.
The maid's final glance at Aelia overlapped with that of a peasant woman kneeling in the snow, cradling a baby from twenty years ago.
Her whisper before dissipating was carried by the wind into Luna's ears, and the baby suddenly opened its heterochromatic eyes—clearly, it was a prophecy encrypted with the Serpent Pattern code.
Moonlight penetrated the Diamond Pane, casting a projection of Magic Rune onto Luna's chubby hand back.
The Starlight Stones hanging from the corners of the cradle suddenly moved on their own, producing a crisp warning sound without any wind.
"Madam!
The Young Miss's Magic Fluctuation is abnormal again!" Qin Si exclaimed in panic as she reached for the swaddled infant, but Aelia raised her hand to stop her.
The Master of the Magic Castle, who had just learned of her husband's betrayal, had azure blue flames burning in her eyes, and ice crystals fell from the Thorn Pattern embroidered cuffs.
Luna sighed inwardly, her pink toes curling around Qin Si's pearl necklace.
Just as Aelia's fingers were about to touch her Mei Xin, the baby suddenly giggled, and the left hand hidden behind her back swiftly completed a Jie Yin—this was a "Soul Resonance" at the level of a Great Mage.
"Boom!"
The Peacock Stone Tiles of the entire Rose Courtyard suddenly floated into the air, forming a massive Destiny wheel.
Aelia staggered backward, watching the Twelve Rays and Golden Runes hovering around Luna; they were clearly the long-lost ultimate defensive technique of the Holy Light system.
"I see now..." Aelia murmured as she touched the Light of the Holy Sword that had suddenly appeared on her palm. The family crest emerging at the hilt was reassembling. "What’s hidden in Leonard's study room secret compartment is indeed the recipe for the Taboo Puppet Potion, isn't it?"
Luna blinked her emerald-colored eyes and drew an affirmative symbol with bubbles of saliva.
A sudden explosion echoed from outside the courtyard, and Third Young Master Lucius crashed through the Rose Hedge, still clutching a blood-stained Celestial Chart in his hand.
"Mother!"
"Father, he..." The boy's words were cut short as Leonard's shadow, shrouded in dark mist, descended into the courtyard.
At the top of the Lord of the Frost Fortress's Scepter, a Dark Red Crystal pulsed ominously.
Aelia handed Luna to Qin Si, and with a sweep of her holy sword, she carved a crescent arc of light. "Using an infant as a Dark Magic Medium? You have truly fallen."
"My dear, you should be grateful I chose the most gifted one." Leonard chuckled lightly, and suddenly, the Scepter shot out three chains. "After all, our Xiao Luna has inherited three types of Elemental Affinity."
Luna squirmed in Qin Si's arms, her seemingly unintentional wave deftly deflecting a shadow arrow aimed at Second Brother.
She fixed her gaze on the East Tower where her elder brother was—Ice Magic was raging out of control there. Just as the Original had described, tonight marked the most severe Magic Backlash during the Lunar Eclipse.
"Take the children to the Anti-Magic Room!" Aelia swung her sword to cleave the ground, and a Holy Light Barrier rose up, temporarily blocking Leonard's attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna bit her finger and drew the final stroke of a Teleportation Circle on Qin Si's sleeve.
In that moment of spatial distortion, a glimmer of the Millennium Sage flashed in the infant's clear pupils.
Three Shadows burst forth from her Crown of Heaven and darted towards the locations of her three brothers.
Elder Brother's wheelchair was already covered in frost; he hung his head, staring at his withered Twin Legs, emitting a sob like that of a trapped beast.
As Luna's Light and Shadow merged into his chest, the ice crystals began to grow backward, blooming into sparkling flowers along the veins.
"This is..." He stared in shock at the pulsating Ice Blue Flame, as the Nerves that had fractured ten years ago due to Magic Backlash began to reassemble.
The Wheelchair Armrest cracked with a sharp sound, and amidst the swirling ice feathers, the twenty-eight-year-old Mage trembled as he stood up.
The close friend of Second Brother was adjusting the parameters of the Astrolabe, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.
Suddenly, the young man trapped in the JuLing Magic Cube and Vine Cage opened his eyes, Time Fragments flowing in his Pupil, relayed by Luna.
He bit his finger and drew an Inverted Pentagram in the void: "In the name of the stars, reverse!"
The Star Chart Device exploded with a deafening roar, and his friend's Fake Mask began to peel away under the illumination of True Light.
Second Brother tore apart the Puppet Thread around his neck, watching as Luna's Tooth Mark emerged from the Contract, turning to Ashes in the Holy Fire.
Brother San was cornered by five Masked Mages. The leading Flame Master grinned wickedly as he raised his staff: "Blame your damned talent..." Before he could finish, Brother San's Jade Pendant on his chest suddenly cracked open, and shadows erupted forth, ensnaring the enemy like living creatures.
"How is this possible!" The Flame Master exclaimed as he watched his magic being consumed. "Dark Magic requires Blood Sacrifice to awaken talent..."
Brother San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his Fingertip ignited with Eerie Purple Flame.
He recalled Luna's strange insistence this morning on biting his finger—indeed, that Tooth Mark was part of the oldest Bloodline Awakening Ritual.
A Roar suddenly echoed from beneath the Glorious Demon Fortress as the ancient Defensive Formation activated automatically.
Leonard's expression changed as he watched ice, light, and dark magic approaching from three directions.
Meanwhile, in the Nursery, the real Luna clutched the Secret Room Key stolen from Qin Si. On the swaddling cloth dampened with saliva, the coordinates for the Outer Chamber gradually revealed themselves.
