As Qin Si climbed the spire of the Magic Castle, her fingers trembled around the Iris Pattern Tea Set.
The sensation of Luna tugging at her necklace lingered, and the Phoenix Tail Feather at the nape of her neck felt like a branding iron, scorching her as echoes of a baby's laughter filled her ears—laughter that unmistakably carried the spell of the Great Mage.
"Madam, your Night Rose Honey," Qin Si said, gently placing the Gilded Cup on the Malachite Coffee Table. Suddenly, the Star Moon Stone embedded in the bottom of the cup emitted a red glow, casting a Phoenix Totem onto Aelia's silver-white robe.
Aelia paused mid-stir with her Silver Spoon in Mi Lu. "Is that milk stain from Luna on your sleeve?"
"Y-yes, I was helping Third Young Master Lucius brew medicine this afternoon..." Qin Si hurried to wipe it away, but the Secret Silver Box slipped from her sleeve.
A half-exposed parchment stained with Ankeli's ink revealed Leonard's handwriting: "To the moonlight of Violet Manor..."
The Crystal Chandelier shook violently, causing Aelia's Silver Spoon to clink against the cup.
Qin Si looked at her mistress's suddenly pale lips and grasped her icy hand, pressing it against her own nape.
At that moment, the Phoenix Tail Feather transformed into Liuguang upon contact, spelling out the Magic Coordinates of Violet Manor in midair.
"The farmer who delivered milk three days ago said..." Qin Si swallowed hard as she recalled the Memory Fragments Luna had secretly given her. "He said he saw Lord's Black Dragon Carriage parked at the back gate of the manor, and when the curtain was lifted, a baby's Silver Bell fell out."
Aelia's fingertip crystallized into ice with a sharp crack, freezing the entire cup of Mi Lu, while all Twelve Moons on the Crystal Chandelier extinguished simultaneously.
As she stood up, shards of ice swept from her skirt across the ground, forming a Star Trail that pointed directly to the Alchemical Chamber in the Castle West Wing, which had been sealed for fifteen years.
Leonard was wiping a Dragon Blood Vial when it suddenly exploded, splattering Scarlet Liquid that froze into icicles as Aelia pushed open the door.
When he turned around, his usual gentle smile had not yet faded as he saw Frost Flowers blooming in his wife's hair, spreading along with the moonlight.
"How does the Revival Potion taste?" Aelia's question caused cracks to form in the Spider Web pattern of the Magic Crystal Lamp on the wall. "When you brewed it with my mother's Starfall Stone, did you hear her sighs from within her coffin?"
Leonard's gloved hand, stained with potion residue, hung stiffly in the air, the violet embroidery of his family crest curling in the frost.
When he caught sight of Aelia and the pulsating phoenix Xu Ying, he suddenly grabbed the astrolabe on the experiment table. "If it weren't for using the Forbidden Technique to preserve the fetus back then, Luna would never have..."
The sound of glassware shattering one after another drowned out his defense.
Aelia approached, stepping on ice crystals, as the cold wind whipped up the dark cabinet in the alchemical chamber, causing dozens of magic letters imbued with violet fragrance to flutter down like snowflakes.
On the topmost letter sealed with fire, a silhouette of a woman with light purple pupils, identical to Luna's eye color, was clearly embossed.
"So our daughter..." Aelia's voice suddenly became as light as a feather floating before a violent wind and snow, "is the container you prepared to resurrect your old lover?"
The castle's foundation trembled suddenly, waking Luna from her slumber in the nursery.
Her chubby little hand grasped the Xing Hui that hung over her cradle, weaving the overflowing magical energy into a net that ensnared the dark energy surging from geomancy towards the main tower.
The bronze armors on night watch in the corridor abruptly changed direction, their synchronized footsteps awakening all the sleeping magic candelabras.
As Leonard attempted to trap the rampaging frost snow with his star chart, Aelia's tears finally fell.
That tear transformed into an ice phoenix upon hitting the ground, shattering the astrological glass of the alchemical chamber dome.
Colorful shards of prophecy rained down like a meteor shower, refracting warning magic patterns that had not illuminated for fifteen years in every corner of the castle.
The ancient defense array sleeping in the cellar began to hum as Leonard's sword vibrated, shaking Luna's crystal baby bottle as it spun in a galactic whirlpool.
She gazed out of the nursery window at the various magic beams gradually lighting up and suddenly revealed two milk teeth in a joyful smile—those who had been disturbed in Magic Castle were now heading towards the courtyard as she had foreseen.
Moonlight poured through the shattered dome, illuminating a distorted star map floating on the blue sandstone ground of the courtyard.
Aelia staggered as she grasped the tail feathers of the Ice Crystal Phoenix, her eyes catching the shimmering illusion of fifteen years ago, carved in moonlight above the crowd—her wedding day, when Leonard had quietly tucked away the Violet Sachet beneath the altar during Leonard's Last Night.
"It’s merely the necessary cost to resurrect my old comrades!" Leonard suddenly twisted the Astrolabe, stirring the aerial illusion into a chaotic Nebula.
His palm, stained with Dragon Blood, pressed against his heart, and a dark purple Family Crest immediately spread across his neck. "Do you dare question the benefactor who extended the life of Magic Castle for fifteen years?"
The sword hilts of the Bronze Armored Guardians abruptly turned towards the Nursery.
Luna's small hand grasped the Galaxy Weaving, glowing faintly. She had just drawn a Hexagram with Star Sand on the Oak Bed Rail, which was now resonating with the Ancient Array of the Cellar.
The Griffin Relief, sleeping atop the Main Tower Column, suddenly opened its Liuli Mu eyes. The gust of wind from its wings instantly dispersed the illusions created by Leonard.
"Please, madam, see clearly!" Qin Si suddenly knelt beneath the Ice Phoenix's Wing, his neck adorned with a tail feather necklace that had absorbed Aelia's Lacrima.
As the tenth tear seeped into the Phoenix Eye, three hundred Memory Fragments exploded in the air—two Silver Bells lined up on the windowsill of Violet Manor were clearly forged from the same cluster of moonlight as the one around Luna's ankle.
A Mage in the crowd suddenly pointed at the West Tower and exclaimed.
The Lapis Lazuli Crucible that Third Young Master Lucius was using to brew potions was emitting an eerie Zi Wu vapor, within which emerged an infant face resembling Leonard by seven parts.
This perfectly corroborated the last line of the Sheepskin Note: "Awaiting new moon to bring back our Selena."
Aelia's Ice Crystal Phoenix let out a mournful cry like tearing silk, and several feathers from its left wing suddenly fell away.
The fallen ice crystals transformed into water mirrors before they even touched the ground, reflecting her difficult labor years ago when Leonard had secretly mixed Starfall Stone powder into Anshen Soup during Leonard's Last Night.
The Mage Mark Masters gasped in shock as they finally understood why Young Miss’s Golden Hair bore the curse of Zi Mang from that accursed land.
"The Lord personally delivered her!" a rough voice suddenly shouted from the direction of the Stable.
The coachman who had once delivered oats to Violet Manor squeezed through the crowd, memories dancing on his calloused palm like fireflies. "That night in the torrential rain, there was no midwife, only the Lord holding a silver bell from the manor's cellar..."
Leonard's Star Trail Magic Robe suddenly surged, engulfing all the fireflies.
He stepped closer to Aelia, moving counterclockwise around the Star Array, his voice deliberately tinged with exhaustion. "Do you really want the entire Magic Castle to be buried with your suspicions?" Yet, the hand hidden in his sleeve quietly formed a gesture, preparing to activate the Puppet Curse inscribed on the Wedding Ring years ago.
Luna's web suddenly emitted a soft glow.
The dark energy roaming within the Galactic Veins abruptly changed direction, piercing through the Star Array at Leonard's feet, guided by the gaze of the Griffin Relief.
Everyone saw the Lord sway slightly as the Jade Ring containing the Puppet Curse suddenly exploded, shards flying and scorching marks appearing on Aelia's skirt.
The right wing of the Ice Phoenix shattered completely in that instant, and Aelia struggled to steady herself with Qin Si's support.
She gazed at the scattered Star Fragments on the ground and suddenly chuckled softly. "So for fifteen years, I have been your most perfect Alchemy Container." At that moment, moonlight pierced through her heart, illuminating the glowing Starfall Stone flowing beneath her skin.
The hum of the Ancient Law Array's Crystal abruptly rose an octave, enveloping everyone in a Light Gold barrier.
When Leonard attempted to summon the Black Dragon Carriage, he discovered that the curse flowing across the barrier was identical to the Guardian Magic Pattern on Luna's Swaddling.
He turned to look at the Nursery, his gaze finally revealing cracks. There, a small infant clutched a fragment of the shattered Jade Ring, offering him an innocent smile stained with milk.
