The Magic Castle was adorned with a glass-like Halo by the seven-colored Magic Shield, as Luna lay on Qin Si's shoulder, sucking her Thumb, her grape-like eyes reflecting the starry sky.
The infant Tongue quietly brushed against her gums, remnants of the Milk Tooth that had bitten through the Pearl Necklace last night still glowing with the Red Glow of Prophecy Magic—those pearls that had rolled onto the Azure Bronze Beast Head were now shimmering with a red light only she could see, hidden behind the third row of Oak Barrels in the Cellar.
"You should drink goat's milk now," Qin Si said as she carried Luna through the Emerald Corridor draped with wisteria. Suddenly, Luna tugged at a Wisteria flower in the maid's hair.
The magical tug caused Qin Si to stumble and push open a hidden door, just as moonlight pierced through the Colored Glass, casting the Iris Crest of a pearl from the Oak Barrel Gap onto the stone wall.
Aelia brushed her fingers over the cold Railings of the Stargazing Platform, still warmed by the Temperature from when she had arranged her husband's cloak that morning.
When she heard the sound of porcelain shattering from the Cellar, she would never have guessed that the chubby baby who always smeared snacks all over her face was now poking at a mechanism in the Dark Compartment with fingers covered in Honey Biscuit Crumbs—Luna had deliberately knocked over a Honey Jar, which was now seeping into the Mechanism Gears through a crack in the stone.
"Madam! The Cellar... Ankeli..." Qin Si's trembling call was swept away by the night wind on the Stargazing Platform.
As Aelia rushed down the Spiral Staircase, her Skirt embroidered with Guardian Spell dragged along the Stone Steps, leaving behind traces of Xing Huo, a Blessing Rune hand-painted by Leonard ten years ago during their wedding.
The humid Parchment glowed with an eerie Blue Light under the moonlight as Luna curled up in Qin Si's arms, pretending to play with pearls while secretly using her saliva to draw a Manifestation Spell on the maid's sleeve.
At the moment Aelia's Lacrima fell onto a Letter sealed with Fire Seal, an image of Leonard's Concubine Ailiya’s laughter appeared within the Iris Crest, trimming roses reflected by Magic Reflection—this was a Trigger Spell cast by Luna three days ago using Chen Lu.
When Leonard returned, stepping on ice crystals, his Sword and Guardian Magic Pattern had been restored to their original state.
He instinctively reached for the hilt in the Dark Compartment but froze upon touching Aelia’s favorite Violet Incense.
Under the crystal chandelier in the bedroom, twenty letters imbued with different scents were arranged in a heart shape on the table, each embedded with an Iris Gem he had given to Leonard's Concubine.
"These gems should have been set in your Crown." Aelia's voice was colder than the Ice Spike of Winter Night at Eaves Corner as she crushed the last Fire Seal, releasing a Love Poem that transformed into a black butterfly and flew toward the crystal chandelier.
The Astrology Staff, broken ten years ago to save him, suddenly emitted a Sobbing sound, the Staff Tip and Star Chart reflecting the bulging Pregnant Belly of Leonard's Concubine.
Leonard's Fingertip sparked with defensive fire, but it extinguished when it touched the empty pearl position on his wife’s Neck.
He would never know that at this moment, among the ruins of the East Wing, Luna was directing the Magi to bury the stolen Message Crystal in the Brick Gap—those Zhuan Shi inscribed with Guardian Magic Patterns would play today’s Leonard's Last Night during the master succession ceremony in seven days.
As Argument Sounds disturbed the entire Magic Castle, Luna nibbled on a Moon Biscuit while resting on her elder brother's shoulder.
The disabled Mage used a Suspension Spell to support his sister, and as he repaired the Magic Circle, his Fingertip suddenly brushed against the Moonlight Crumbs deliberately left by the baby.
Under the moonlight, those crumbs formed an Ancient Prophecy: "The broken starlight will illuminate the Thorny Path," echoing the last words that flashed across the sky when his elder brother suffered backlash on the Astrology Platform ten years ago.
As Twilight deepened, Xing Zi climbed up the Magic Castle Spire, while his brother's Wheelchair ground out tiny fragments of starlight on the Stargazing Platform's Ground.
His Pale fingers traced over the remaining Yin Hui of the Suspension Spell, while the baby's Moonlight Crumbs flickered under the moonlight, piecing together the prophecy.
The Wheelchair suddenly collided with a stone pillar, and from the fallen Crystal Prism emerged a scene from that rainy night ten years ago—how the Astrology Staff was scorched by backlash magic in the torrential rain.
"Broken starlight..." he murmured, repeating the prophecy from the Moonlight Crumbs as his Wheelchair abruptly changed direction and rolled over a silver blanket woven from moonlight.
The Parchment supported by the Suspension Spell was spread across an entire stone wall; those Magic Notebooks he had sealed for ten years now shed ash. Among them, a certain page with yellowed Tiny Inscriptions suddenly seeped Blue Light: "Backlash Curse must be guided by stars."
Luna kicked her legs like an Oujie in her Cradle, gazing at the ceiling with laughter.
The Chen Lu she had secretly smeared on her brother's Wheelchair Armrest during the day now seeped into the Parchment through his torn Fingertip.
When the stars aligned into the Thorn Pattern, the notes on the wall suddenly ignited into flames, transforming into a Fire Phoenix that dropped a half-burned page of a Curse onto his lap from ten years ago.
The Bronze Hourglass in the West Wing Library had just turned past Midnight, and Second Brother knelt in the Star Sand, clutching a shattered Communication Crystal.
The Sapphire Necklace that his dear friend had given him before parting suddenly grew hot, reflecting the bizarre runes Luna had drawn on the sand table with Honey Biscuit Crumbs—exactly like the Spell that had tricked him into drinking the Confinement Potion at that tavern six months prior.
"Brother is silly." The Baby Voice of a Child floated in with the scent of cookies as Luna clung to the Door Frame, slapping her jam-covered Palm onto the Star Sand.
Those crimson marks suddenly transformed into a Fire Fox that leaped into the sand table, gnawing at the remnants of the Confinement Potion's Zi Wu.
The Curse Mark on Second Brother's Wrist suddenly throbbed painfully. As he grabbed an Astrology Pen and dipped it in jam to draw symbols on his arm, he discovered that the Guardian Spell erased by his dear friend three years ago was beginning to resurrect.
As the sound of Crystal Explosion echoed from Brother San's Cultivation Room, Luna was perched on the Crystal Chandelier, munching on a Star Cookie.
She watched Brother San slump despondently among the shards, as those Lenses reflecting Error and Magic Circuit were suddenly covered by Moonlight Crumbs.
Moonlight streamed through the Colored Glass of Shan Na, illuminating all the debris with a Sugar Coating that formed the Star Map he had misread during his Talent Test at seven years old.
"Wrong..." Brother San trembled as he reached for the floating fragments, his Palm's calluses sliced open by the Lenses, releasing Blood Pearls.
As blood dripped onto the Sugar Frost Star Map, his true talent Track suddenly manifested in the Dome—it was a Frost Circuit, completely opposite to his ten years of hard practice in Fire Magic.
A half-eaten cookie that Luna had intentionally dropped rolled to the corner, melting into a puddle that revealed Tiny Inscriptions: "Reverse Flow Reveals the Truth."
As the first rays of dawn painted the Magic Castle Spire red, Elder Brother's Wheelchair had already rolled over the Sevenfold Star Trail.
His incomplete left hand hovered over the Curse brought by the Phoenix, as charred skin began to sprout crystalline scales in the starlight.
Suddenly, a gap opened in the Ice Blue ground, and the Astrology Staff, broken a decade ago, slowly rose from the depths of Geomancy. The Prophecy Spirit, which had been sleeping within the Star Chart at the staff's tip, shook off a shower of starlight.
The startled cry of Second Brother startled a Night Owl resting outside the window.
At some point, the Star Sand from the Library of Hidden Books solidified, coating his arm's Fruit Jam Charm with Jin Wen.
As the Confinement Potion's Zi Wu was strangled by Jin Wen, his close friend Image, who had deceived him for three years, suddenly ignited in flames. From the ashes rolled out a blueberry smeared with Chen Lu—exactly the antidote Luna had hidden behind the bookshelf that morning.
The loud crash of Brother San kicking open the door to the Cultivation Room made the crystal lights in the entire Emerald Corridor tremble.
He dashed toward the Ice Cellar with his bare torso, and behind him, the Frost Circuit glimmered like a galaxy in Han Qi.
When his palm pressed against the Millennium Ice, the Meridian Ailina's Burn caused by mistakenly practicing Fire Magic began to blossom into Frost Flowers. The Stagnation Sensation that had plagued him for ten years suddenly cleared away.
Luna lay on Aelia's lap pretending to sleep, her eyelashes peeking through a gap to steal glances at Mother’s newly replaced Sapphire Necklace.
Inside it was hidden the Guardian Spell that her elder brother had redrawn last night, along with the Counter-Scrying Spell that Second Brother had secretly reinforced this morning, and Brother San's Heart Shield formed from Frost Circuit.
As Lord Leonard's footsteps echoed again in the corridor, she deliberately smeared saliva on Aelia's violet-embroidered shoes—where it soaked up Moonlight Grass Juice that could reveal lies.
As moonlight quietly spilled over the ruins of the East Wing, Aelia stood alone beneath the shattered Colored Window.
She caressed the vacant Pearl Necklace setting with her fingertip. Behind her, in the shadow of a Marble Column, twenty love letters' ashes were being swept into a whirlpool by the night wind.
When the last spark extinguished in the Fountain Pool, a piece imprinted with a Guardian Magic Pattern suddenly flashed with a fleeting red light—marking the location of the Message Crystal to be played seven days later.
Luna turned over in her Cradle, and moonlight just happened to illuminate half a Moon Biscuit hidden under her pillow.
The Astrolabe of the Magic Castle Spire suddenly veered off course, casting a strange Purple Light onto the main bedroom terrace.
Aelia was unaware that the hem of her snow-white robe was now stained with Blue Iris Pollen brought from the Cellar's Dark Compartment—those light purple crystals gradually formed teardrop shapes under the moonlight, meandering along the carpet she had walked on, all the way into the deepest darkness of Dawn.
As the moonlight flowed over Aelia's white robe, Qin Si stood behind the wisteria curtain, holding a purple Rosewood Tray.
She watched as her lady's fingertip brushed over the empty setting of a Pearl Necklace, where a Blue Moonstone should have been, now letting in a Cold Wind that blew Aelia's cascading silver hair into a shattered galaxy.
The steam rising from the tray of Rose Tea suddenly crystallized into ice—this was a Calming Spell cast by Qin Si using Chen Lu's technique, but she had forgotten that her lady's Tears were colder than the Northern Lights at that moment.
"My lady..." Qin Si gently placed the warm Si Pa over Aelia's trembling shoulders, and the Star Pattern embroidered on it suddenly glowed with a Red Glow.
This was her secret learning of Luna's Manifestation Spell, automatically activating the Blessing Magic that Aelia had taught her three years ago while arranging flowers.
As the ice crystals fell to the ground with a crisp sound, she held Aelia's hand, cold as a snowfield. "You still have Young Miss and Three Young Masters..."
Aelia's Sapphire necklace suddenly refracted an unusual Halo, reflecting Lucius, Second Brother, who had drawn the Guardian Spell on the Window Lattice of the West Wing Library.
The jam stains that Luna had left on her sleeve during the day suddenly transformed into a Fire Fox that leaped out, tearing apart love letters suspended in mid-air into countless Ashes.
Seizing the moment, Qin Si brought the Calming Tea mixed with Moonlight Grass Juice to Aelia's lips, watching as those Ashes formed a magnificent scene of Magic Castle’s past on the surface of the Tea Soup.
"When you taught me to set up the Rose Array back then..." Qin Si lightly tapped the teacup with her fingertip, and the reflection on the water surface suddenly transformed into their wedding garden.
Eighteen-year-old Aelia held golden scissors to trim Rose Thorns, as magical new sprouts emerged from between the stone slabs brushed by her Skirt. "The flowers blooming in a Thorny Bush can penetrate even the thickest walls with Cedar Fragrance."
Aelia suddenly tightened her grip on Qin Si's Wrist, and the Sapphire Zhui Zi clinked against the edge of the teacup, producing a sound reminiscent of Qing Ming.
The Sound Wave awakened the Water Sprite sleeping at the bottom of the Fountain Pool. They rolled up with silver Water Mist to the terrace, transforming those love letters into Ashes that crystallized into Ice Crystal Rose.
As the first Ice Rose bloomed on Aelia Palm, a dull cracking sound suddenly echoed from the ruins of the East Wing—the very spot where the Message Crystal was buried.
Lucius halted abruptly at the corner of the corridor, gripping his sword tightly.
He gazed at the melting Ice Rose that belonged to Mother In Hand, and the sword hilt's Ankeli Iris Gem suddenly grew hot.
This adult gift, given to him by Father last year during Ailya's Birthday Rune, was now burning through the silk lining against his Palm.
Moonlight filtered through the Colored Glass, casting a Light Spot on his shoulder. Those Light Spots twisted into the shape of a Tooth Mark, reminiscent of when Luna nibbled on cookies.
“Third Young Master?” A servant passing by with a Star Sand Bottle was startled by his pale complexion.
Only then did Lucius realize he had been staring at the door of the Cultivation Room for quite some time. The Frost Breath seeping from the Door Gap was freezing the Gold Thread on his Boot Surface into sharp Ice Spikes.
Suddenly, Brother San's anguished scream pierced through the stone door, causing those Ice Spikes to shatter and refract into fragments of the Star Chart Fragment from ten years ago during the Talent Test.
The sword hilt's Dark Compartment popped open unexpectedly, and the Iris Gem rolled onto the Ice Surface.
As Lucius looked at the image of Leonard's Concubine emerging from the gem’s surface, he recalled last month when Father had him deliver the Amethyst Box to the Dongjiao estate—the edges of that box were distinctly engraved with his Mother's most detested Sheen Pattern.
Bending down to pick up the gem, he suddenly felt warm breath against his nape. Turning around, he met Luna's eyes blinking at him from where she rested on Magi's shoulder.
“Fool...” The little one waved her sugar-coated hand and slapped him on his Mei Xin. A flash of memory struck him—images of seven days later during the succession ceremony, specifically from that night before Leonard’s passing.
From the ruins, a burst of magical projection revealed a scene where Father cradled Leonard's Concubine Newborn. The sight nearly caused him to drop his Leonard's Sword.
Luna seized the opportunity to stuff the remnants of the Star Cookie into his Jian Qiao, and to her surprise, the Moonlight Crumbs began to mend the damaged Guardian Magic Pattern.
As the first rays of dawn painted the Magic Castle Spire in hues of red, Lucius knocked on the main Bedroom door.
Kneeling on one knee, he held the re-forged Leonard's Sword, its hilt now adorned not with the Iris Gem, but with the Ice Spirit Stone he had pried from his Crown last night. "Mother," the boy's voice still carried the chill of early morning, yet he turned the sword's hilt toward Aelia, "my sword will always sing for the protection of our family."
Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the surface of the Ice Spirit Stone, where Frost Flowers suddenly came to life, wrapping around her Wrist.
This was Lucius's Oath Seal, reforged with Xuan Bing from the Cultivation Room. The Frost Flowers danced along her Bloodline, ultimately coalescing into Ice Crystal Armor at her heart.
Outside, the Magic Shield emitted a Longyin-like Zhen Chan, startling the Prophecy Birds resting on the Astrolabe.
Meanwhile, in the Kitchen Cellar, Luna was directing the Magi as they transported Morning Dew Jars.
She intentionally spilled Honey on the stone slab, creating a Star Trail Pattern that caused the moving Magi to leave behind magical Footprints.
When the seventh jar was in place, Moonlight Grass Juice mixed with Brother San's Ice Shard formed a prototype of her previous life's most adept reverse backlash spell on the surface of a Ceramic Pot.
"The Young Miss is playing with Honey again," a Cook chuckled as he approached to pick her up, only to be poked by Luna's Sugar Coating-covered fingers at Mei Xin.
The Old Woman suddenly froze in place, her murky eyes reflecting a scene from ten years ago when the Young Master cast spells on the Astrology Platform—those once-forgotten Guardian Spells were now being rearranged and combined anew by Luna's Baby Language whispers.
As the noon bells echoed throughout the Magic Castle, her elder brother’s Wheelchair rolled over the restored Star Trail Diagram.
Crystal Scales refracted a Sevenfold Halo from his Hand Back, each beam shimmering with Magical Traces left by Luna’s various snacks.
Suddenly, he turned his Wheelchair toward the Forbidden Zone; winds stirred by the Suspension Spell swept away dust from the long-sealed Star Eclipsed Reverse Recording. The Yellowed Pages automatically flipped to reveal chapters documenting the New Year Astrological Ceremony under sunlight streaming through Colored Glass.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Aelia stood on the restored Stargazing Platform, sorting through her husband's incriminating evidence.
Suddenly, the Ice Crystal Armor in her hair sensed something, reflecting the coordinates of a Message Crystal hidden among the ruins of the East Wing.
As her skirt brushed against the newly drawn Guardian Array, Luna, concealed behind a vase, emitted a glow that adjusted the Star Pattern at the array's core by half an inch—this subtle shift perfectly aligned the activation time of the Magic Circle with the celestial position of Lunar New Year's Day.
When night fell thick and sweet like honey, Luna perched on Magi's back, surveying her "battlefield."
She kicked the Morning Dew Jar she had collected during the day into the Stargazing Platform's Earth Rift, and suddenly, the Star Trail drawn by Honey came to life, wrapping around the jar.
As the last sliver of moonlight was obscured by Wu Yun, Baby Fat's tender palm pressed against the jar's opening. The Reverse Spell she had mastered in her past life seeped into the liquid through her palm's imprint—those Luna infused with Brothers' magical essence were quietly fermenting in the darkness, becoming a crucial medium to break the curse.
The Astrolabe atop the Magic Castle Spire suddenly deviated from its orbit by three degrees. This slight disturbance awakened the slumbering Prophecy Bird.
It circled around the master bedroom terrace three times, and the stardust shed from its tail feathers fell directly into Aelia's dreams.
In her hazy tear-filled eyes, this stardust transformed into an image of Young Master holding a complete Astrology Staff, with its staff tip embedded with a gem shaped like Luna's beloved Moon Biscuit.
