Luna's little head was filled with plans, her big eyes twinkling like two sparkling gems.
Being obedient?
Not a chance!
She was determined to stir things up, the little mage she was!
First on her agenda was her older brother, who had been tormented by the magic backlash to the point of being unrecognizable.
In the original story, he had met a tragic end, which was such a waste of talent!
Luna would not allow that to happen.
She remembered clearly that the key to resolving her brother's backlash lay in a magical artifact on the Magic Arena— the Purification Stone.
"Sister Qin Si, hug!" Luna stretched out her chubby little arms and pouted at Qin Si, who had just walked into the room.
Qin Si was Aelia's trusted aide and a soft-hearted older sister.
Sure enough, she was immediately melted by Luna's cuteness and carefully picked her up.
"Young Miss, what do you want?"
"I want to see my brother! I want to cheer him on!" Luna said in her baby voice, gesturing with her little hands.
Qin Si hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.
After all, the young lady was very fond of her little sister, and perhaps the Young Miss's presence could bring some good luck to the Young Master.
The Magic Arena was bustling with excitement, various magic elements intertwining and colliding in the air, dazzling and spectacular.
Luna was held tightly in Qin Si's arms, her small eyes fixed on her older brother on the field without blinking.
Though her brother's figure appeared somewhat frail and his complexion was a bit pale, his gaze was exceptionally resolute.
He wielded a staff, chanting an ancient spell, as beams of magic swirled around him, forming a powerful defensive barrier.
"Go, big brother! You're the best!" Luna cheered, waving her little fists energetically.
Perhaps hearing Luna's encouragement, a faint smile appeared on her brother's face. He took a deep breath and began to counterattack.
His control over magic was remarkable; each strike hit precisely at his opponent's weak points.
First match: victory!
Second match: victory!
Third match...
"Purification Stone!" Luna suddenly exclaimed with excitement, pointing at a stone in the center of the competition arena that radiated a soft glow.
That was the reward of the Magic Arena, only awarded to those who won three consecutive matches.
Her brother seemed to sense this as well; he gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into the fight.
His opponent was a formidable Fire Mage, flames transforming into dragons in his hands, relentlessly assaulting her brother's defensive barrier.
The barrier began to show cracks, and her brother's face grew increasingly pale.
"Hang in there, big brother!" Luna's heart raced; she wished she could rush in to help him.
At that critical moment, her brother suddenly unleashed a surge of magical power. A beam of ice-blue light shot from his staff, instantly freezing the fire dragons.
“Won! Big Brother won!” Luna exclaimed, jumping up with excitement, her little face flushed bright red.
Big Brother trembled as he approached the Purification Stone, gripping it tightly in his hand.
A warm and pure energy surged into his body, dispelling the Magic Backlash that had plagued him.
His complexion gradually returned to a healthy color, and he felt strength flooding back into his body.
“I... I feel so much better!” Big Brother's voice trembled as he struggled to believe that the curse that had haunted him for years had truly been lifted.
Luna looked at Big Brother, her face breaking into a radiant smile.
She knew that from this moment on, Big Brother's life would be filled with brightness.
With Big Brother's issue resolved, it was time to focus on Second Brother.
Second Brother had been deceived by his closest friend and trapped in a malicious Magic Trap, suffering daily torment.
When Luna found Second Brother, he was sitting alone in his room, looking haggard and vacant.
“Second Brother, let me tell you something... that guy—your best friend—he's been lying to you all along!” Luna rushed to Second Brother's side, bluntly revealing the truth.
Second Brother stared blankly for a moment, seemingly unable to believe his ears.
“What did you say? That’s impossible! He’s my best friend; how could he deceive me?”
“Hmph! You can know a person's face but not their heart! He’s just jealous of your Magical Talent, which is why he set a trap to harm you!” Luna said angrily, her small face filled with indignation.
To convince Second Brother, Luna vividly described the details of the trap and the schemes of that “friend.”
After hearing her words, Second Brother's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble.
He had always trusted his friend, only to discover that he was the mastermind behind it all!
"I... I will confront him and get to the bottom of this!" Second Brother said through gritted teeth.
Luna did not stop him.
A few days later, Second Brother returned with a look of relief on his face.
He had completely severed ties with that "good friend" and successfully escaped the Magic Trap.
"Luna, thank you!" Second Brother said as he walked over to her, gently ruffling her hair. "If it weren't for you, I might have lived my whole life trapped in that deception."
Luna smiled proudly, thinking to herself, this is just the beginning!
As for Brother San, despite his powerful Magical Talent, he was blinded by his gifts, spending his days idly without any ambition.
"Brother San, with your talent, not training properly is just a waste!" Luna criticized him without holding back.
Brother San shrugged dismissively.
"What’s the point of training? I'm already so good; I can easily surpass others just by goofing off."
"Hmph! You're only good right now! If you don't put in the effort, you'll be surpassed sooner or later!" Luna mercilessly shot him down.
To motivate Brother San, Luna shared many stories about Mages, explaining that only through hard work could one truly master powerful abilities.
Perhaps moved by Luna's words or feeling that he really should do something, Brother San began to train seriously.
He spent every day immersed in the Magic Library, studying various Ancient Grimoires and constantly conducting magical experiments.
Seeing Brother San's dedication filled Luna with a sense of satisfaction.
She knew that Brother San would undoubtedly become a great Mage.
While Luna was busy changing her family's Destiny, a significant upheaval was occurring on Aelia's side.
While tidying up her room, Qin Si unintentionally discovered a letter that detailed the relationship between Leonard and Leonard's Concubine.
After much hesitation, she ultimately decided to hand the letter over to Aelia.
Upon reading the letter, Aelia completely fell apart.
She couldn't believe that the husband she loved so deeply had betrayed her!
Years of affection and trust vanished in an instant.
Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, as anger and sadness intertwined within her, nearly consuming her whole.
"Leonard... how could you... how could you..." Aelia's voice trembled, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She clutched the letter tightly, her white nails digging deep into her flesh.
"Madam, please don't be upset..." Qin Si tried to comfort her from the side.
Aelia suddenly stood up, her face pale and her eyes vacant.
"I need to find him... I need to get to the bottom of this..."
She staggered toward the door, and Qin Si quickly supported her.
At that moment, a voice came from outside: "Mother, what happened?"
It was Lucius.
He looked at Aelia's haggard appearance.
Aelia gazed at Lucius and suddenly threw her arms around him, bursting into tears.
“Lucius... your Father... he...”
“Mother, what on earth happened?” Lucius asked, growing more anxious. He had never seen his Mother so distraught.
Aelia remained silent, simply handing Lucius the letter in her hand.
Lucius took the letter and began to read it carefully.
His expression grew darker, and his hands started to tremble.
“This... this can't be true...” He couldn't believe that his beloved Father was such a person.
He lifted his head to look at Aelia. “Mother, is it true?”
Aelia didn't respond verbally but nodded slightly.
Lucius clenched his fists tightly, Ailya's White Nails digging deep into his flesh.
He felt a surge of intense anger burning within him; he wanted nothing more than to confront Leonard immediately.
“Lucius, don’t act impulsively!” Aelia grasped Lucius's hand, stopping him from moving forward.
“Now is not the time... we need to stay calm...”
Lucius took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions.
He knew his Mother was right; this was not the moment for rash actions.
He looked at Aelia, "Mother, don't worry. I will help you seek justice!"
Aelia gazed at Lucius.
"Qin Si, let's go," Aelia said, wiping away her tears with a determined tone.
"Where to, my lady?" Qin Si asked hurriedly.
Aelia's lips curled into a cold smile. "To a place... he wouldn't expect..."
She turned and left, leaving Qin Si and Lucius exchanging puzzled glances.
"Where is Mother going?" Lucius asked in confusion.
Qin Si shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"But..." A hint of worry flashed in Qin Si's eyes. "Given the state she's in... I'm afraid..."
Lucius fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "No, I can't just sit here. I need to go check on her."
With that, he hurriedly ran out.
Meanwhile, Luna was sitting in her room, eagerly munching on a piece of Magic Cookie.
In her little mind, new plans began to form.
"Who should be next?" she murmured to herself, a sly smile creeping across her face.
Suddenly, the door to the room swung open.
"Luna," Leonard's voice came from the doorway, tinged with a barely noticeable tremor. "Where's your mother? Do you know where she went?"
Leonard's voice trembled slightly, breaking the tranquility of Luna's room.
He stood at the doorway, his usually imposing figure appearing somewhat disheveled, with a hint of barely concealed panic in his eyes.
"Luna, where is your Mother? Do you know where she went?"
Luna looked up, her round little face smeared with Moonlight Crumbs.
She blinked her big eyes, putting on an innocent act, while inside she was bursting with joy.
The show was about to begin!
"Mother? She was just here. She said she was going to a very far place and also said... also said..." Luna deliberately paused, furrowing her little brows as if trying hard to remember.
"What did she say?" Leonard pressed eagerly, his voice slightly cracking.
"She also said... she wanted to give you a surprise!" Luna laughed, her smile appearing particularly dazzling in Leonard's eyes.
"A surprise?" Leonard murmured to himself, a wave of intense unease washing over him.
He sensed that this "surprise" was definitely not a good thing.
Without thinking further, he turned to leave.
"Father, where are you going?" A voice tinged with anger called out.
Leonard halted in his tracks and turned around to see his older brother standing nearby, his expression dark as he glared at him.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Leonard asked somewhat irritably.
"Why can't I be here? But you, in such a flurry—where are you off to?" His brother replied coldly, his tone laced with accusation.
Leonard's face grew even darker.
He knew that his older brother had always been dissatisfied with him, and now that this incident had occurred, his brother would certainly not let him off the hook.
"It's nothing, I just have some matters to attend to," Leonard tried to brush it off.
"Oh really? How come I've heard that you've been keeping a woman outside behind Mother's back?" His brother bluntly exposed Leonard's lie.
Leonard's face instantly turned pale.
He hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly, even reaching his brother's ears.
"Brother, let me explain. It's not what you think..." Leonard attempted to defend himself.
"Explain? What is there to explain? The facts are right in front of us; what more can you say?" his brother roared, the sound shaking the entire room.
He stepped up to Leonard, grabbing his collar and forcefully pushing him against the wall.
"I have always respected you, considered you my father. But how do you treat Mother? Do you think you deserve her?" Anger filled his brother's eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Leonard whole.
Leonard was intimidated by his brother's fury and found himself momentarily speechless.
"I'll tell you this, Leonard: if you dare to hurt Mother, I will not let you off!" His brother released Leonard's collar and said fiercely.
With that, he left the room without looking back.
Leonard leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, as if the entire world was spinning.
He staggered out of the room, wanting to find Aelia to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.
He entered Aelia's room and pushed the door open, only to find it empty.
“Aelia! Aelia!” Leonard called out anxiously, but no one responded.
A deep fear washed over him. He was terrified of losing Aelia, terrified of losing this home.
Just as he felt lost and helpless, Second Brother approached him.
“Father, Mother isn’t in the room,” Second Brother said calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
Leonard looked at Second Brother, a complex mix of feelings surging within him.
He knew that Second Brother had always been introverted, rarely expressing his emotions.
But still,
“Second Brother, believe me, things are not as you think…” Leonard tried to explain again.
Second Brother shook his head, interrupting Leonard’s words.
“Father, I don’t want to hear your explanation. I just want to know if you’ve wronged Mother.”
Leonard fell silent. He couldn’t deny it; he had indeed wronged Aelia.
“I understand,” Second Brother said flatly before turning to leave.
Leonard watched Second Brother's retreating figure, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him.
He knew he had lost Second Brother's trust.
At that moment, Brother San also approached. He looked at Leonard,
“Father, what exactly happened at home?” Brother San asked.
Leonard sighed and explained the situation to Brother San.
After listening, Brother San remained silent for a long time.
“Father, I understand now,” Brother San said. “I will do my best to help Mother.”
With that, he left as well.
Leonard stood alone in the empty room, feeling an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
He became aware that he had lost the support of everyone around him.
He didn’t know what to do or how to face the days ahead.
A wave of despair washed over him, as if he were falling into an endless abyss.
“No! I can’t just give up like this!” Leonard roared internally. “I must make things right! I must earn Aelia’s forgiveness!”
He gritted his teeth,
turned, and walked out of the room, heading toward an unknown direction.
Meanwhile, Luna was hiding in the corner of the room, secretly observing everything.
A satisfied smile appeared on her small face.
“The best is yet to come!” she murmured to herself.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her: “Luna, do you know what happened at home?”
Luna was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Lucius standing behind her, looking at her with a serious expression.
The atmosphere in Glory Castle was suffocatingly tense—not due to magic, but because of a thick tension that made it hard to breathe.
Little round-faced, innocent-eyed Xiao Luna had unexpectedly become the center of this impending storm.
Recently, her behavior had been strange; she mumbled about "silly geese" and "hidden nests," and when she spoke these words, a knowing light flickered in her eyes, somehow sketching a vivid picture of Leonard's infidelity—Leonard's Last Night.
Who would have thought that the nonsensical babble of a toddler could throw a castle into chaos?
Alia, the mistress of Glory Castle, once a symbol of strength and grace, now resembled a shattered Porcelain Doll.
This truth hit her like a heavy blow, leaving her gasping in a suddenly colorless world.
The perfect life she had painstakingly built with all her Heart's Blood was now nothing more than a cruel illusion.
The whispers and rumors she had once dismissed as petty jealousy now echoed in her mind, each Broken Syllable stinging her like poison.
Damn that woman!
Damn Leonard!
How could he do this?
Leonard, the lord of the castle, the man who had once sworn loyalty and love, now revealed his true self, squirming like a pitiful worm under Alia's cold gaze.
His usual arrogance and the commanding presence he held while ruling Glory Castle had vanished completely, leaving behind an empty shell.
He stammered as he tried to deny and explain himself, but under the weight of his betrayal, his words felt clumsy and powerless.
Even his carefully groomed mustache seemed to droop in shame.
The residents of the castle whispered among themselves, casting strange glances at one another.
Luna's brothers each harbored their own troubles, becoming entangled in this new chaos.
The eldest brother, crippled by the cruel backlash of magic, watched everything with a hint of cold satisfaction, a barely perceptible smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
He had always been wary of Leonard's charm.
The second brother still struggled under the shadow of betrayal from a friend. He felt a twinge of sympathy for Alia, painfully understanding what it meant to have trust shattered.
The youngest brother, usually lost in his half-formed Ancient Spells and grand fantasies, seemed genuinely confused by the sudden shift in atmosphere.
Perhaps he thought this was just one of Luna's strange yet increasingly effective "games."
Alia's loyal maid, Xis, stood by her mistress's side like a silent guardian, radiating an angry protectiveness.
Long before Luna's mysterious proclamation, she had seen the cracks beneath Leonard's hypocritical facade.
Now, her hand instinctively reached for the dagger hidden beneath her skirt, silently vowing revenge.
Lucius, the third son of Glory Castle, observed the unfolding farce with an air of detached curiosity.
He had always been an enigmatic figure, a whirlpool of thoughts hidden behind a calm facade.
This family dispute and emotional turmoil... were quite bothersome.
He preferred the company of his Ancient Grimoire; at least there, the variables were predictable.
However, as he watched Luna—the little Key Catalyst who had sparked this great collapse—the people in the castle held their breath.
What would Alia do?
Would she collapse under the heavy pressure of betrayal?
Or would she rise like a phoenix from the shattered dreams of Ashes?
One thing is certain: thanks to Luna's unintentional interference, Glory Castle stands on the brink of transformation, about to welcome a new era—an era where secrets are unveiled and Destiny is rewritten.
As they say, the game has begun.
And Xiao Luna, God bless her, has just overturned the chessboard.
