The first rays of dawn gently kissed Luna's face, the soft Golden Radiance outlining her delicate features.
Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly Wings, heralding the awakening of a new day.
But the day that awaited her was far from ordinary.
In one moment, she floated in a hazy state between sleep and wakefulness; in the next, with a loud bang—a dazzling burst of magical light erupted in the room, jolting her awake like a bucket of ice water.
Her small body tensed up, every muscle quivering in surprise.
Her heart raced like a trapped little bird, pounding against her ribs.
"What on earth is happening...?!"
The mysterious source of light, whatever it was, seemed equally startled by her reaction.
It flickered briefly, like a shy ghost caught in the act, then vanished in the blink of an eye, slipping through the room and disappearing into the shadows of a distant corner.
Luna's innocent wide eyes followed its Track, blinking rapidly as she tried to comprehend what she had just witnessed.
The residual magic's Red Glow tingled on her skin, emitting a faint Electric Current hum.
Suddenly, the door burst open to reveal a frantic Qin Si, her eyes wide with fear.
"Miss! What was that sound?!" she gasped, her voice laced with worry and confusion.
She frantically scanned the room, her gaze darting from one corner to another in search of the source of the commotion.
The morning light streaming through the open door illuminated the swirling Dust particles in the air, adding to an otherworldly atmosphere.
Despite the adrenaline still buzzing through her Blood Vessels, Luna surprisingly remained calm.
After all, despite her young age, she possessed a mature mind.
“Qin Si,” she said, her heart racing, yet her voice surprisingly steady, “something strange just happened. We need to tell Mother right now.”
Qin Si was clearly still trembling. She hesitated, her eyes fixed on the spot where the light had vanished.
“But… what was that, Miss?” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
The usually calming scent of Lavender in the room seemed to intensify the tension in the air.
Luna furrowed her brow, a wrinkle forming on her smooth forehead.
“I don’t know,” she admitted, “but it felt… magical. And… very powerful. Please hurry and fetch Mother!”
Luna's urgency finally snapped Qin Si out of her shock.
She hurriedly nodded and turned, almost sprinting out of the room, her footsteps echoing in the hallway.
Left alone once more, Luna climbed off the bed and tiptoed toward the place where the light had disappeared.
She reached out with a small hand, tentatively touching the cold stone wall.
The faintest remnants of Magical Traces lingered there, whispering of something extraordinary.
She shivered as fear and excitement intertwined within her veins.
“What secrets does this castle hold?” she pondered.
Indeed, the castle was alive with commotion; an unmistakable sense of unease seeped into every stone.
Servants hurried through the corridors, their murmurs weaving a web of speculation and concern.
The once peaceful atmosphere was replaced by a fervent energy, a sense that something was about to happen.
The air was thick with unspoken questions, a silent hum of anticipation.
When Aelia arrived, her face was etched with worry as Luna recounted the strange incident, describing the flash of light and its sudden disappearance.
Aelia listened intently, her brow furrowed in deep thought.
Leonard appeared oddly disheveled and pale, nervously pacing nearby.
He occasionally glanced toward the door, as if expecting someone—or something—to enter.
The three brothers, disturbed by the commotion, soon joined them.
The eldest leaned heavily on his cane, his face marked with concern; the Second Brother's usual cheerful demeanor was replaced by a frown; Brother San's eyes reflected a mix of curiosity and worry.
They exchanged anxious glances, their expressions mirroring the pervasive unease in the air.
The ensuing discussion was filled with speculation and conjecture.
Was it an out-of-control spell?
A mischievous ghost?
Or something more sinister?
Everyone offered their theories, their voices rising and falling with the tide of anxiety.
The room felt stifling, the air thick with unvoiced fears.
Later that morning, a group of seemingly esteemed Mages arrived at the castle.
Their Magic Robes were adorned with intricate symbols, shimmering with an almost uncontrollable power.
They had come to begin Luna's formal magical education.
However, the events of the morning cast a long shadow over the entire process.
The Mages sensed the tense atmosphere, exchanging curious glances.
Even Lucius, usually so full of energy, seemed to have grown quiet, his eyes swirling with fear and fascination.
The lesson took place in the castle's Great Library, a room filled with ancient books and mysterious artifacts.
The air was thick with a latent magical aura, the scent of aged Parchment and dust filling their nostrils.
Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, illuminating the dancing Dust particles.
Yet even the warmth of the sun could not dispel the Coldness that lingered in the room.
As the lesson progressed, Luna could not shake off a sense of unease.
She kept glancing toward the dark corners of the room, half-expecting that mysterious light to appear again.
Sitting beside her, Lucius also seemed distracted, his eyes darting around nervously.
He leaned closer to Luna and whispered, "Did you hear that sound?"
Luna froze, her breath caught in her throat. "Hear what?" she replied softly.
Lucius's face turned Pale.
"I... I think I heard... crying," he stammered, his eyes filled with terror.
He pointed at the library door.
"It sounds like... it's coming from the hallway..." Just then, a frantic knocking echoed through the room, followed by a chilling cry of "Luna."
The library door swung open violently, revealing a young maid with tears streaming down her face, her voice choked as she called out, "Miss! Master Lucius... he... he..."
The first rays of morning sunlight, carrying a hint of mischief, quietly slipped into Aelia's bedroom.
At this hour, she should have already risen to handle the various matters in the Magic Castle.
But today, she was unusually reluctant to leave her bed; after all, the Little One in her arms was simply too demanding!
The culprit was none other than our bookish heroine—Luna.
This Little One seemed to have done it on purpose, snuggling into Aelia's embrace, her little mouth opening and closing as she babbled incoherently with sounds like "yi ya," occasionally reaching out to pat Aelia's face.
Aelia helplessly opened her eyes and looked at the tiny pink face so close to hers, and her earlier annoyance dissipated significantly.
This little Luna was truly an angel; ever since she arrived at the Magic Castle, the entire household had been filled with vitality.
"Little Rascal, waking me up so early," Aelia gently pinched Luna's nose, her tone filled with affection.
Luna seemed to understand Aelia's words and broke into a toothless grin.
That smile could melt even the iciest of hearts!
But before Aelia could fully enjoy this warm moment of maternal affection, Qin Si rushed in, his voice tinged with urgency. "Madam, something's wrong! It's bad!"
A chill ran through Aelia's heart; if Qin Si was so flustered, it must be something serious.
She carefully set Luna aside and stood up to ask, "What’s going on? Why the panic?"
"It’s... it’s Lilith! She’s gone!" Qin Si gasped, finally managing to articulate the situation.
Lilith?
Aelia frowned; she was Leonard's associate in The Woman Outside and quite a restless character.
What could happen if she was missing?
"The master is furious and has sent people to search the entire fortress," Qin Si continued.
A cold smile crept into Aelia's mind. Has Leonard finally panicked?
She replied calmly, "Understood. I’ll head over right away."
When Aelia arrived in the hall, Leonard was indeed there, fuming with rage.
Several Knights knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.
Her older brother, Second Brother, and Brother San were also present, and the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
"A bunch of useless fools! You can’t even keep track of one person!" Leonard roared.
Aelia approached and asked in a calm tone, "What exactly happened? Why is Lilith missing?"
Seeing Aelia, Leonard's expression softened slightly, but his voice still carried anger. "I don’t know! She was gone when I woke up this morning! There are no signs of a struggle in her room; it’s as if she vanished into thin air!"
"Could she have left on her own?" Aelia asked tentatively.
"Impossible!" Leonard declared firmly. "She wouldn’t leave by herself! Someone must have taken her!"
Someone was taken away? Aelia felt a stir in her heart. Could it be...
Just as everyone was speculating, a Knight rushed in, holding a note. "My lord, madam... the lady found this in Lilith's room!"
Leonard snatched the note and opened it, his face instantly turning ashen.
Curious, Aelia leaned in to take a look. The note read: "If you want your woman to live, bring the treasure map of the Magic Castle in exchange!"
This was serious!
The treasure map of the Magic Castle was the lifeblood of the Magic Castle; it absolutely could not fall into the hands of others!
"Investigate! Find Lilith for me! And seal off the entire Magic Castle; not a single fly must escape!" Leonard shouted hoarsely.
Chaos immediately erupted throughout the Magic Castle.
Meanwhile, our Xiao Luna remained blissfully unaware of all this.
She was surrounded by several unfamiliar Magic Mentors, receiving "special" magical education.
"Luna, your Magical Talent is truly remarkable; a genius rarely seen in a hundred years!" an old man with a white beard exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, yes! With just a little guidance, you will surely become a Great Mage in the future!" another bald old man chimed in.
Luna listened to these praises without any ripple of emotion inside her.
After all, she had come from another world and already knew she possessed extraordinary Magical Talent.
However, it still felt quite nice to be complimented.
Beside her, Lucius watched Luna being adored like a star and felt a spark of desire to learn magic ignite within him.
He walked up to Aelia, carefully asking, "Mother, can I learn magic too?"
Aelia looked at her youngest son, feeling a mix of emotions. Lucius had never shown interest in magic before; why did he suddenly want to learn now?
Still, it was a good thing.
"Of course you can," Aelia said gently, ruffling Lucius's hair. "If you want to learn, Mother will definitely support you."
Thus, while Luna was "forced" to learn magic, Lucius joined in as well.
The two of them followed several Magic Mentors into the Magic Castle's Magic Study Room.
Inside the study, various Ancient Grimoires were piled high, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.
Luna gazed at the books, her heart brimming with curiosity.
Although she already knew the plot of the original story, she was still eager to explore this magical world.
Lucius, on the other hand, was like a curious little child, touching this and that, fascinated by everything around him.
The magical learning journey of the two children had just begun.
And the crisis within the Magic Castle was only just starting...
The dawn's light brushed against Luna's nose, waking her from an absurd dream filled with flying squirrels and singing teacups.
She blinked her eyes, her innocent and wide eyes growing even larger.
Something felt off... The familiar and warm weight of her beloved plush Griffin toy was missing.
Instead, a cold, scaly, rough "thing" curled up beside her.
Luna let out a scream that could curdle milk—this sound echoed through the usually tranquil corridors of Glory Castle, causing a flurry of hurried footsteps and hushed whispers.
This "thing" turned out to be a petrified Gnome Dragon, stiff and hard, but thankfully harmless.
Its appearance triggered a frantic search throughout the castle.
Clearly, this little creature was a prized possession of Lord Leonard, kept locked away in his private study.
How it ended up in Luna's Cradle was a mystery wrapped in confusion.
"Great Fountain of Magic!" Leonard roared, his face turning an angry shade of blue.
He paced back and forth like a lion trapped in a cage, his voice reverberating through the hall as servants scurried about like mice under an eagle's claws.
"Who dares to trespass in my study? This is utterly outrageous!"
Aelia remained as graceful and composed as ever, watching her husband's exaggerated performance with a calm, almost detached amusement.
A knowing smile played on her lips.
"Perhaps," she suggested gently, "this little dragon simply wanted a change of scenery. Or," she glanced at Luna, who was happily gnawing on a teething ring, blissfully unaware of the chaos she had caused, "it has taken a liking to our Xiao Luna... unique aura."
Her last remark left Leonard looking perplexed. His older brother sat in his wheelchair, creaking sympathetically while stifling a chuckle. The Second Brother was still trying to unravel the magical puzzle set by his so-called "friend," and he hummed thoughtfully at her words.
The Third Brother, usually lost in fantasies of his overestimated magical abilities, merely blinked owlishly in confusion.
He might have thought that the appearance of the Gnome Dragon in the Cradle was just an exceptionally vivid illusion.
The mystery of this little dragon running amok remained unsolved, adding another layer of intrigue to the already complex situation at Glory Castle.
Thus, amidst the lingering scent of Dragon Scales and the echo of Leonard's furious Roar, a new day began.
Later that morning, a group of seemingly knowledgeable Magic Mentors arrived at the castle, ready to commence Luna's magical enlightenment course.
Unbeknownst to her, Luna was about to become a little witch. She laughed joyfully, grabbing the beard of the oldest mentor and tugging at it with surprising strength.
This innocent act left a profound impression on the Old Mage.
Meanwhile, Lucius was captivated by the colorful magical displays and expressed his desire to join the course.
This request was met with surprised approval from everyone, especially Leonard, who had always hoped his youngest son would follow in his footsteps in the love of magic.
The group made their way to the castle library, a grand room filled with ancient books and shimmering orbs of light.
Thus, amidst the scent of Aged Parchment and the soft whispers of magic, Luna, who unintentionally created chaos, embarked on her journey into magic, unknowingly triggering a series of events that would forever change Glory Castle and the broader world’s Destiny.
Who could have imagined that a small infant, a petrified Gnome Dragon, and a dusty old library could harbor such chaos and Magical Potential?
Well, perhaps Luna knew.
After all, she had a secret weapon—a foresight into the story that was about to unfold.
And honestly, that teething ring might just be enchanted as well.
