The night enveloped the Glorious Demon Fortress, with the Castle Spire towers standing like silent giants beneath the deep blue sky.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if whispering ancient secrets.
Inside the Magic Castle, warm yellow light bathed Luna and Aelia, creating a cozy atmosphere that could not mask the turmoil within them.
“Mother,” Luna's tender voice echoed in the room, carrying a hint of unnoticeable weight. “There are some things I don’t know if I should say…” She bit her lips, her small pink face filled with hesitation.
Aelia gently stroked Luna's hair.
Luna took a deep breath, as if steeling herself. “Mother, do you remember those strange dreams I told you about?”
Aelia nodded. She had always kept those bizarre dreams of Luna in her heart, feeling that they were somewhat unusual.
Luna paused for a moment before continuing, “Those dreams… perhaps they are not dreams at all, but things that have actually happened…” She recounted the events from the original book about Leonard's affair with Leonard's Concubine and how indifferent he had been towards Aelia and their son. Each word felt like a sharp knife, piercing Aelia's heart.
Aelia's complexion gradually turned pale, her hands trembling as if she might collapse at any moment.
She could not believe that the husband she had loved for so many years had betrayed her and deceived her!
The sweet memories of the past now became mocking blades, cruelly digging into her heart.
“No… it’s impossible…” Aelia murmured, tears silently streaming down her face, glistening in the light.
She felt as though her world was collapsing; once unshakeable beliefs now lay shattered.
Seeing Aelia in such pain filled Luna with sorrow.
She gently embraced Aelia, offering her small body as a source of comfort.
Suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps broke the silence in the room.
Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Brother San, and Lucius burst through the door. Upon seeing Aelia’s tear-streaked face, they were all taken aback.
"Mother, what happened?" the eldest brother asked anxiously. Despite being disabled from the Magic Backlash, his concern for his family remained unwavering.
Luna briefly recounted the events to everyone, and the atmosphere in the room instantly grew tense.
The eldest brother clenched his fists tightly, Second Brother's face darkened ominously, and Brother San wore an expression of disbelief. Even the usually gentle Lucius had a flicker of anger in his eyes.
"Damn Leonard!" Second Brother gritted his teeth. Having been betrayed by a close friend, he harbored a deep hatred for treachery.
"We can't go on like this!" the eldest brother said in a low voice. "We must find a way to change the situation at Magic Castle!"
The group gathered together and began discussing strategies.
Qin Si also joined the discussion. Although she was just a maid, she was well aware of the circumstances at Magic Castle, and her opinions were taken seriously by everyone.
"Leonard currently controls the finances of Magic Castle; we need to find a way to regain control," the eldest brother analyzed.
"We can use Luna's ability to foresee the future to prepare in advance," Second Brother suggested.
"I will do everything I can to help everyone," Brother San said, despite his Magical Talent being misled; he wanted to contribute to Magic Castle as well.
"Perhaps we could..." Qin Si whispered a bold idea.
As everyone exchanged thoughts, they gradually clarified their strategies, and the atmosphere in the room became slightly lighter.
A glimmer of hope ignited within each person's heart as they anticipated changing the Destiny of Magic Castle and protecting their family.
"Then let's proceed with the plan..." The eldest brother's voice was firm and powerful. He looked around, his gaze filled with determination. "Tomorrow, we begin our actions!"
Luna looked at everyone, feeling a warm current surge within her.
She knew this battle was just beginning, and the road ahead would be long, but they would fight side by side and overcome all difficulties!
Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to her eldest brother.
Luna's small face was filled with seriousness as she waved her chubby little hands, speaking in a baby voice words that sounded astonishing to everyone around her.
"Big Brother, your Magic Backlash is due to absorbing too much fire element while practicing the Blazing Flame Technique, which has caused an imbalance of elements within you. You need to find the Ice Heart Lotus to neutralize the fire poison in your body with its Han Qi."
Big Brother, once a formidable Mage, now sat in a wheelchair, his eyes having long lost their former brilliance.
He looked at Luna, a hint of confusion flashing in his gaze. Did this little girl really know what she was talking about?
"Ice Heart Lotus? That's a legendary Holy Relic; how could it possibly be..."
"No, Big Brother, the Ice Heart Lotus is at the bottom of the Ice Spring Pool in the Forbidden Forest!" Luna said decisively. "The Forbidden Forest is fraught with danger, but I know a safe path." She extended her little finger and drew a winding line on the table, a route she had memorized from the original book.
Second Brother's Magic Dilemma stemmed from being deceived by a close friend and falling victim to the Soul Binding spell.
He sat dejectedly to the side, having lost all hope.
"Luna, do you really have a way?" His voice was hoarse, tinged with disbelief.
"Second Brother, to break the Soul Binding, you need Jie Hun Cao and Purifying Water. Jie Hun Cao grows deep within the Dark Forest, while Purifying Water is hidden behind the waterfall in Mist Valley." Luna paused before adding, "But most importantly, you need to find that friend who betrayed you and retrieve an item from him that has been tainted with your Soul Aura."
Brother San had immense Magical Talent but had been misguided into practicing unsuitable magic, causing his progress to stagnate.
Though he pretended to be indifferent on the surface, anxiety filled his heart.
"Luna, can you see a solution for my situation as well?"
Luna nodded. "Brother San, you need to give up your current practice of the Lightning Spell and instead cultivate Natural Magic. Your talent is better suited for communicating with natural elements." She reached out her small hand and gently stroked Brother San's hand back. "Trust me, Brother San; you will surely regain your brilliance."
The three of them looked at Luna, their expressions shifting from doubt to shock and then igniting a glimmer of hope.
Could this little girl truly change their Destiny?
Meanwhile, Qin Si quietly arrived at Aelia's room.
She took a deep breath and handed the envelope from In Hand to Aelia.
"Madam, this is... about Lord," she said.
Aelia took the envelope, opening it with a puzzled expression.
Inside, it detailed the correspondence between Leonard and Leonard's Concubine, along with images of their illegitimate child.
Aelia felt darkness envelop her, as if the sky had fallen in.
Her hands trembled as she struggled to believe what she was seeing.
Years of trust in her husband crumbled in that moment.
Anger, sadness, and despair intertwined, drowning her in a torrent of emotions.
Leonard returned to Magic Castle and found Aelia sitting by the window, her silhouette lonely and desolate.
A sense of unease crept into his heart as he approached her, only to find her face pale and her eyes vacant.
"Aelia, what's wrong?" he asked.
Aelia abruptly turned her head. "Leonard, what else is there to say?"
Leonard felt a sinking feeling in his chest. "Aelia, let me explain..."
"Explain? What is there to explain!" Aelia interrupted angrily. "You betrayed me, you betrayed our family!"
The sounds of their heated argument echoed in the room, filling the air of Magic Castle with tension.
Meanwhile, under Luna's guidance, the elder brother began to attempt to lift the curse of Magic Backlash.
He sat cross-legged, following Luna's instructions to guide the Magical Energy within him.
In the room, the magical light flickered uncertainly as everyone anxiously watched their elder brother.
Suddenly, a strong radiance erupted from him, enveloping the entire room.
As the light dissipated, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the curse that had plagued him for years was finally beginning to loosen.
The dawn of hope illuminated every corner of the Magic Castle.
However, this was just the beginning; a greater storm was brewing...
Luna looked at her elder brother and suddenly thought of something. She turned to Second Brother, “Second Brother, do you remember…”
“Second Brother, do you remember how we met that… that person?” Luna tilted her little head, trying hard to recall the events from the original story, her pink face filled with seriousness.
The glimmer of hope in Second Brother's eyes dimmed instantly, as if doused with cold water.
He painfully closed his eyes, memories flooding back like a tide.
A faint bitterness hung in the air, the taste of despair.
“Don’t say it, Luna... I don’t want to remember.”
“No, Second Brother, you must remember! Only by remembering can we find him and reclaim what belongs to you!” Luna's voice, though youthful, carried an undeniable strength.
She reached out her small hand and gently grasped Second Brother's hand. “Think about how he approached you back then. Think about his favorite places. Think about… did he leave anything that belonged to you?”
Second Brother's body trembled slightly as the gates of memory slowly opened.
He felt as if he had returned to that sunny afternoon when he met that "best friend" in the library of the Magic Academy. They discussed magic together, embarked on adventures together, and shared each other's dreams.
“He… he loved my Magic Notebook! He always borrowed my notes to read and said he wanted to learn from my magical insights.” Second Brother's voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep regret.
“Notes!” Luna's eyes lit up. “The notes must be infused with your Soul Aura! If we can find the notes, there’s a chance to break the Soul Binding!” She excitedly waved her small fists, as if she could already see the dawn of victory.
Second Brother suddenly lifted his head, a spark of hope reigniting in his eyes.
He tightly grasped Luna's small hand and said with a trembling voice, “Luna, you’re right! I must find him and get my notes back! I will make him pay!”
He stood up, his previously slumped figure straightening with renewed determination.
The Magic Robe rustled in the air, as if proclaiming his resolve.
He was no longer the defeated soul lost in despair but a warrior rising up to reclaim everything he had lost.
Luna looked at Second Brother and smiled with relief.
She knew she had successfully awakened the fighting spirit within him.
Meanwhile, Brother San was engulfed in deep self-reproach.
He watched his older brother and Second Brother, filled with guilt.
He had always thought of himself as the most talented Mage in the family, which led to his arrogance and neglect of his training.
But now he realized that talent was not everything; hard work and perseverance were the keys to success.
“Luna, you’re right. I shouldn’t be fixated on the Lightning Spell any longer.” Brother San stepped in front of Luna, his gaze resolute. “I’ve decided to give up the Lightning Spell and start over with Natural Magic. I will prove that your choice was the right one through my efforts!”
He took a deep breath, as if trying to expel all his regrets.
He walked to the corner of the room and picked up a thick Grimoire, which was a foundational textbook on Natural Magic.
He opened the Yellowed Pages and began to read intently.
Sunlight poured onto his face, illuminating his determined eyes.
Luna looked at Brother San and nodded with satisfaction.
She knew that Brother San had become aware of his error and was willing to make an effort to correct it.
Just then, a figure hurriedly walked in; it was Lucius.
His face bore a hint of worry, clearly troubled by the chaotic situation at home.
"Luna, the house is in complete disarray. Father and Mother are arguing, and both Brother and Second Brother are facing their own difficulties. I... I don't know what to do," Lucius said, his voice tinged with helplessness.
Luna gazed at Lucius, a sense of responsibility swelling within her.
She understood that she was part of this family and had a duty to help them through this tough time.
"Brother Lucius, you don't need to worry," Luna said as she approached him, extending her small hand to gently pat his thin shoulders. "Everything will be alright. Trust me, I can stabilize the situation and help everyone out of this predicament."
Lucius looked at Luna, unable to believe that this tiny infant could possess the ability to change the entire destiny of Magic Castle.
"Luna, I know you're very clever, but... this matter concerns the future of our entire family. Are you really confident?" Lucius's voice trembled slightly.
"Of course!" Luna confidently lifted her little face. "I am Luna! There is nothing I cannot do!"
She paused for a moment and smiled mysteriously. "However, stabilizing the situation will require Brother Lucius's help."
Lucius was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Me? What can I do?"
Luna did not answer directly but spoke mysteriously. "You'll find out soon enough. For now, we need to make some preparations..." She waved for Lucius to come closer and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Lucius's expression shifted from surprise to confusion and then to realization.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said with determination in his eyes, "Alright, I understand! I will do as you say!"
Luna nodded in satisfaction.
The winds of change were stirring within Magic Castle, with hidden currents flowing beneath the surface.
Everyone is striving for their own goals, fighting for the future of their families.
The dawn of hope has appeared, but a greater crisis is quietly approaching.
Luna gazed out the window; the once bright starry sky was now shrouded in a thin layer of haze.
Her brows furrowed tightly, an uneasy feeling settling in her chest as if something bad was about to happen.
“Aunt Cessy…” Luna suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Qin Si immediately walked over, concern etched on his face. “Young Miss, what’s wrong?”
Luna lifted her head, her gaze deep and serious, as if she could see through everything.
“Aunt Cessy, do you remember…” Luna's voice trailed off abruptly, leaving an endless suspense hanging in the air.
