The morning mist in the greenhouse condensed into frost, and Luna was cradled in Brother San's arms, inhaling the lingering bitterness of Starlight Grass in his silver hair.
The remnants of Honey medicine on Lucius's Right Eye burned faintly, tracing a delicate Jin Wen path. The imaging powder stolen from Second Brother's Pharmacy last night was now projecting his Pupil into a Northern Territory Map.
"Don't move," the young man said, tightening the cloak around the swaddled infant, yet his Fingertip gently wiped away the Sugar Coating at her mouth's corner.
He could not see that the little baby in his arms was biting down on his Fingertip with her Milk Tooth, quietly smearing Blood Pearl onto the Rose Engraving of the greenhouse door lock—according to the original text, this Magic Restriction could only be unlocked by Aelia's direct Bloodline.
Luna felt the Bloody Smell of her Tongue and was suddenly pierced by an influx of memories.
The pain of betrayal she suffered as a Great Mage in her past life was strikingly similar to what Aelia was about to experience.
She clutched the Crystal Fragment tucked into her Diaper, a Remnant Page of the Northern Manor deed she had stolen from the Dark Compartment while crawling through Father's Study last night.
When the greenhouse door swung open with a loud crash, morning light startled an Azure-Billed Bunting resting among the devil's tongue flowers.
Aelia was spreading account books across the Azure Jade Long Table, her Pearl Pendant brushing against her neck with each heavy breath.
Luna noticed the Oath Ring on Mother’s left ring finger; that circle of ice crystals was now seeping an eerie Blood Vein—according to the original setting, this was proof of a partner's infidelity.
"Mother, look." Lucius suddenly lifted his sister, and the baby's sticky Honey-covered hand pressed down on a certain spot in the account book.
The Starlight Grass Juice immediately revealed itself upon contact with honey, outlining a flickering Red Dot on the Northern Territory Map that perfectly overlapped with the manor Emblem from the Crystal Fragment's Remnant Page.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed over her husband's handwritten Signature on a procurement list when she suddenly covered her mouth and gagged.
She remembered three years ago when Leonard said he would improve the Magic Potion Formula and personally went to gather Starlight Grass in that rainy season in Northern Territory.
At that time, she was pregnant with Luna. When her husband returned, his cloak carried the Iris Fragrance of a Strange Woman but he claimed it was from being tainted in the black market.
"It’s impossible..." The Lady of the Fortress stumbled and knocked over a Wisteria Arbor, causing Magic Apples to roll across the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna shoved the Crystal Fragment into Mother’s Palm. The sharp edges broke through her skin instantly, and memories stored within surged forth—Leonard holding a Brown-Haired Girl at Hot Spring Villa, her slightly protruding belly piercing Aelia’s Pupil with pain.
The Oath Ring suddenly shattered, and Ice Crystal Shards sliced through Aelia's skin.
She trembled as she reached for her Pearl Necklace, only to find the hidden Wedding Oath Scroll within it was burning hot.
As the Parchment unfurled on its own, one of the two names that had been side by side, "Leonard," was being consumed by Bloodstain.
"He gave me the Star Moon Rose..." Aelia suddenly recalled something and frantically dashed toward the depths of the greenhouse.
Luna was held by Brother San as they chased after her, witnessing Mother kneeling among the everlasting magical flowers, tearing open a Bud with her bloodied Fingertip—each petal's inner side inscribed with an Invisible Ink Love Poem, signed by different women's names.
Lucius quickly covered his sister's ears, but Luna still heard the heart-wrenching wail.
In the morning light, the Wedding Oath Scroll ignited in Azure Flame, turning Aelia's fifteen years of cherished sweetness into Ashes.
When Lord arrived upon hearing the news, he found his wife standing in a sea of rose Ashes, gripping the ice-bound Oathblade, while Jian Feng reflected the unswept Yan Zhi Hen beneath his collar.
Qin Si held Jian Qiao in the shadow of a Pillar, Ailya's White Nails digging deep into the ancient granite.
She watched as her young mistress bit her Lips until they bled, suddenly recalling last night when she changed Luna's Diaper, and the baby desperately pressed a bloodied Starlight Grass into her palm—now it burned in her sleeve pocket as if foretelling a more brutal truth.
Granite fragments from Qin Si's Hand fell softly into the rose Ashes, and she remembered Aelia’s wedding day when she had carried a bouquet of lilies across the frosty steps while Leonard had magically woven Snow Sparrow feathers into the bride’s veil.
At that time, the Oathblade had still hung from the Dome of the hall, refracting the intertwined shadows of the newlyweds.
"Miss..." The maid's voice choked on the scent of bloodied Starlight Grass as she rushed forward to wrap Aelia's bleeding fingers with Jiao Xiao Pa Zi.
The Magic Pattern embroidered on Pa Jiao suddenly glowed; it was the Guardian Spell she had stitched by hand for Luna’s first month—now the Curse flickered in sync with its master’s ragged breaths.
Aelia’s Sword Tip sliced through the rose Ashes, which suddenly crystallized into ice at Leonard's Boot Sole, emitting a faint Explosive Sound.
Lord's neck bore traces of unswept Yanzhi that spread out into a violet Dark Pattern, characteristic of Northern Territory’s unique Nightingale Blood Rouge.
Luna wiggled her little feet, wrapped in Gold Thread socks, in Brother San's arms. Suddenly, she noticed the new Emerald Buckle on Father’s waist, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the patterns on the Window Lattice of the Hot Spring Villa.
"For fifteen years..." Aelia's Jian Feng brushed against her husband's ear, cutting away a few strands of his black hair laced with silver. "You said the Iris Garden in the East Wing of the Magic Castle was planted for me?" She abruptly flipped the sword's hilt, and frost spread across the Sword Body, creating a mirror that reflected Leonard's suddenly pale face—yet what emerged in the mirror was a sea of purple flowers blooming in Northern Manor, where a Brown-Haired Woman smiled while cradling her Pregnant Belly.
Lucius's fingertip covered his sister's eyes, trembling, but Luna peered through the gaps between his fingers and saw the pearls in Mother’s hair turning black.
These Magic Pearls, originating from the Eastern Sea Mermaid Clan, were supposed to shine with their owner's happiness, but at this moment, they resembled a moon tainted by poison.
She desperately waved her little hand smeared with Honey, drawing a twisted Magic Pattern on the swaddling—an echo of Requiem from her past life that could temporarily stabilize her mind.
As Leonard stepped back, he knocked over a Crystal Chandelier, causing the Transmitting Stone embedded within to roll onto the ground.
These magical stones, meant to record whispered conversations between couples, suddenly began to play automatically: "...Once that sickly infant perishes, I will bring you both back to the main castle..." The man's deep promise mixed with Ailiya's laughter exploded in the silent greenhouse like thunder.
Aelia's sword clattered to the ground as she stumbled and grasped Qin Si's arm to avoid collapsing.
Luna sensed the Bloody Smell intensifying—Mother’s left Palm heart Crystal Fragment cut deeper; those Memory Frames storing Betrayal Evidence began to seep into the Ice Cracks of Oathblade with the flowing blood.
"No..." Lord futilely crushed a Transmitting Stone underfoot, splattering magical shards that sliced into his Hand Back.
Strangely, the Blood Pearl that surged forth did not fall but instead hovered and formed the Coordinates of Northern Manor.
Luna recognized this as the magic of "Blood Bond Manifestation" from the original book—when an oath-taker violates their vows, their blood automatically marks the place of betrayal.
Qin Si suddenly let out a muffled groan as bloodied Starlight Grass pierced through her silk Lining.
She watched as that herb took root and sprouted in Ashes, instantly blooming with blood-red Buds—each petal emerging with the visage of different women.
The maid finally understood why Luna had desperately given her this East Xi Sai yesterday; the Starlight Grass Juice lingering on the infant’s gums was now revealing a cruel count under magical stimulation.
"Seven..." Aelia's bloodied Fingertip brushed against an Eerie flower before she suddenly burst into a chilling laugh.
She picked up the sword and severed the Pearl Necklace, as the rolling Black Pearls formed an aerial view of the Magic Castle on the Ground.
When the Seventh Pearl exploded, a plume of black smoke rose from the position of the West Tower—where the Lunar Goddess Vanity Mirror had been hidden, a gift from Leonard just yesterday.
Leonard suddenly formed a spell gesture to activate the teleportation spell, only to find that his Wedding Ring was completely unresponsive.
In horror, he realized that the rose Ashes beneath Aelia's feet were forming an Anti-Magic Array, a Protective technique he had personally taught his wife years ago.
The Lady of the Fortress picked up her sword and gently traced it across her bloodstained Wedding Dress, the sound of Fabric tearing echoing with the Oath of the Covenant sung at their wedding fifteen years ago.
"By frost I bear witness—" Aelia's voice suddenly deepened, as if the spirits of all past Ladies of the Fortress had possessed her.
Luna saw her Mother’s eyes gleaming with a glacial blue, a sign that Aelia's Ice Speaker bloodline from the Original Aelia Family was awakening.
Brother San hurriedly pulled her back behind a Pillar, his warm Palm covering her ears, but it could not block out the judgmental voice wrapped in a thousand years of Coldness.
Leonard's collar suddenly came alive, transforming into thorny vines that constricted around his throat.
As he struggled, a sealed scroll fell from his arms, automatically unfurling into a magical deed for the Northern Manor—the signing date clearly marked as Luna's birth date.
Aelia's Sword Tip lifted the deed, and as the Parchment met the blade, it ignited in flames. From the Ashes emerged more phantoms of infants, each bearing Leonard's signature Silver Gray Pupils.
In the distance, a roar from the Magic Castle's Morning Bell startled a flock of Griffins resting in the East Wing Tower.
Luna watched those magical creatures darting about in the morning light, knowing that the storm whipped up by their Wings would soon carry the greenhouse's secrets to every corner.
As the final chime faded away, she heard faint footsteps at the end of the Emerald Corridor—at least twenty Servants were holding their breath behind a Turn Corner. One maid’s Skirt was dusted with Starlight Grass powder, reflecting a magical Red Glow on the Peacock Stone Tiles as she peered out.
Morning light was shattered into mottled Halos by Griffin Wings. Leonard's hand, poised to summon a Protective Barrier, froze in mid-air—as a Blood Pearl suspended above suddenly exploded, branding the Northern Manor's Magic Coordinates into the glass dome of the Greenhouse.
Luna caught a whiff of Bloody Smell mixed with Iris Fragrance and suddenly became aware that this was the Forbidden Technique of "Truth Brand" from the original book. When the betrayer’s lies were completely unveiled, the Magic Source would inscribe their deepest secrets upon heaven and earth.
"Madam!" A sudden sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the corner, as the maid holding the Morning Dew Tea collapsed onto the ground.
Her skirt, dusted with Starlight Grass powder, activated the Magic Coordinates and projected an image of Leonard and the Brown-Haired Woman at the Hot Spring Villa into the air.
Luna recognized this as the Peeping Magic of the Darkline Maid from the Original. At that moment, the reflections of over twenty Servants intertwined on the Liuli Wall, forming a twisted net that trapped the Lord in a cage of truth.
Aelia's bloodstained Wedding Dress suddenly stirred without wind, frost creeping along her Ailya.
As the first snowflake landed on the Remnant Page of the ledger, Luna heard Brother San gasp—those parchments recording fifteen years of expenditures for the Magic Castle were emerging from ice crystals like Ke Hen:
"In the winter of Year 457 of the Star Calendar, Magic Heating Stones were procured for the East Wing's Iris Garden but were actually sent to Northern Manor;"
"In the autumn of Year 462 of the Star Calendar, under the pretense of treating Luna's congenital deficiencies, Nine Star Elixir was refined to nourish the magical talents of other offspring..."
Leonard suddenly tore off his Emerald Buckle and hurled it to the ground, yet the Emerald Fragment automatically reassembled into the Window Lattice Pattern of Hot Spring Villa.
The Yan Zhi Hen on his neck transformed into a venomous snake that bit him. The man screamed as he ripped open his collar, revealing an Ice Blue Guardian Emblem at his heart—now being eroded into a honeycomb by seven Blood Red Light Spots.
"When you spent nights repairing the East Wing Barrier, I was in Northern Territory teaching that woman how to shape her brows." The Lord suddenly laughed madly, and the Hallucinogenic Aroma of the Magic Apple made his pupils dilate. "You said that the roses in Magic Castle would never wither like our love, but they need to consume my magic every season to bloom!"
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly shattered completely, and wherever Black Pearls rolled, Ice Mirrors formed.
Luna saw each mirror reflecting past years: on their wedding night when Leonard secretly removed her Oath Ring while putting on her necklace, during a Stormy Night when she repaired barriers alone while her husband sought pleasure at Hot Spring Villa, and on the day she gave birth to Luna when a Life-Saving Herb vanished from the Potion Room...
When the seventh Ice Mirror revealed Leonard stealing Luna's Golden Hair on Leonard's Last Night, gasps erupted from the crowd.
The Old Gardener's Magic Scissors suddenly flew up on their own and shredded the Lord's cuffs embroidered with the Magic Castle Emblem—revealing hair hidden in a Hidden Layer that displayed fluctuations from seven different Magic Bloodlines.
"You once said that Magic Castle and East Wing would never be open to servants..." The daughter of the Floral Artisan raised her trembling hand. The Blue Iris Pollen on her skirt began to assemble in midair into a greenhouse blueprint for Northern Manor—identical to that of Magic Castle's East Wing.
Aelia's Ice Sword suddenly emitted a sound like a Whale Song; its blade reflected Leonard's Last Night when she cut her finger to embroider a Wedding Oath Handkerchief for her husband.
Luna felt her Brother San suddenly tense up—inside the boy's Magic Robe, the handkerchief embroidered with the starry sky by Mother last year for Ailya's Birthday Rune was now radiating heat.
"Last year you said you would reinforce the defenses of the West Tower..." Aelia's voice turned soft as she lifted a withered Starlight Grass from the gap in the floor tiles with the tip of her sword. "Yet you buried a child's Umbilical Cord Blood beneath the Northern Manor." Her bloodied fingertip tapped lightly, and the grass leaves suddenly unfurled into a Magic Contract, seven crimson fingerprints stinging everyone's eyes.
Leonard lunged toward the nearest Teleportation Array Diagram but was rebounded by the Anti-Magic Array.
His waist Scent Pouch burst open, spilling Gold Dust that formed into a Magic Talent Assessment Report of a child in mid-air—the date was precisely that night when Luna had been on the brink of death from a High Fever.
As the Castle Steward emerged from the crowd holding a dusty Gold Leaf Ledger, Luna sensed the air shift with the scent of Destiny turning.
An Old Woman's gnarled hand flipped open the records of the Star Calendar from the year 455. A page held an Ice Crystal Bookmark that suddenly activated, revealing Leonard's Last Night as Aelia, eight months pregnant, was still concocting Barrier Potion.
"Madam..." The Cook suddenly fell to his knees, half a moldy Magic Bread tumbling from his apron. "You saved your Magic Food back then, saying it was for Lord to cultivate..." The bread crumbs transformed into Ying Huo insects, illuminating the secret chamber where Leonard had feasted last night; within a Crystal Cup swirled Aelia's Magic Essence.
Aelia staggered to support herself against the Azure Jade Long Table, blood seeping from her palm stained the Northern Territory Contract.
When a Blood Pearl dripped onto Leonard's torn Wedding Oath Scroll, the tattered Parchment morphed into an Ice Butterfly. One landed in Lord's hair—a hairpin made of ebony that secured his silver locks suddenly cracked with fine lines, revealing an Emerald Feather hidden within.
Luna's pupil constricted sharply; this was clearly key evidence of Leonard's Concubine secretly wearing Aelia's Dowry from the Original.
The infant's tiny hands flailed desperately but were suddenly frozen by frost. She saw Mother gazing at that Hairpin with an expression akin to the last still snowflake before a violent Wind and Snow.
