As the Ice Soul Pearl emitted a faint hum within the Bronze box, Luna was perched on Qin Si's shoulder, nibbling on apple slices.
She deliberately pressed her juice-stained fingers against Qin Si's silver chain, and the necklace inlaid with Ice Crystal immediately revealed a blurred image of Leonard's Last Night—Leonard's Royal Guard was stuffing a violet-embroidered handkerchief into a crevice in the West Tower wall.
"Why is the young lady suddenly nibbling on the chain?" Qin Si froze for a moment while wiping the necklace, as the violet pattern reflected on the surface of the Ice Crystal made her pupils dilate.
That was a birthday gift embroidered by the lady herself for Lord three years ago, yet it now appeared in the most remote corner of the castle's tower wall.
Luna slapped her palm, stained with milk, against Qin Si's collarbone where her Crescent Moon Birthmark lay; this was the mark that activated the secret room's Resonance in the Original.
As Qin Si carried her past the West Tower, the baby suddenly let out a sharp loud cry, accurately kicking a serpent pattern on the wall tile that bore ice cracks.
"Damn those woodworms!" Qin Si gasped at the sight of piles of Magic Crystal Drafts in the crevice.
Each bill had Rose Manor's Fire Seal printed on its back, belonging to Leonard's cousin.
Trembling, she pulled out a sheepskin note wedged between the bills. Leonard's strong tiny inscriptions pierced her vision: "Daisy, my love, once the Moonstone Contract is completed..."
Aelia was trimming Moonlight Roses in the greenhouse when a crystal cutter suddenly sliced through her finger.
When Qin Si rushed in, the wind knocked over the Liuli Flower Rack, and Luna seized the opportunity to press the blood-stained Ice Crystal onto the shattered flower pot.
The bloodied soil congealed into a Blood Crystal, revealing an image of Leonard and Daisy kissing at Rose Manor.
"Twenty-three years..." Aelia crushed the ice crystal in her hand, shards cutting into her palm as flower juice dripped down. "He said he hated Rose Scent most." Stumbling, she knocked over an entire row of Agave plants; their thorny leaves tore at her skirt, just like her love was being shredded by the truth at that moment.
Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, using saliva to draw the shape of the Contract Mark on the nanny's dress.
As Aelia withdrew her Dragonbone Wand and headed towards the study, all at once, the moonstones in the castle corridor flickered collectively—a precursor to a Magic Surge.
"Dear, are you going out?" Leonard calmly closed the Contract, his fingertips still lingering with the scent of Nightingale Flower Essential Oil that Daisy often used.
He smiled and reached to hold his wife's trembling hand, only to be cut by the suddenly unfurled Magic Crystal Draft at the base of his thumb.
Aelia slammed the blood-stained Sheepskin Note onto the Contract, Daisy's lip print overlapping with the Fire Seal to form a mocking heart.
The Magic Crystal Draft, charged by her magic, floated in mid-air, each one playing a Magic Reflection of Leonard meeting with Leonard's Concubine.
"It’s just a necessary pretense for our commercial Marriage." Leonard raised his hand to destroy the evidence but found that the study's Defensive Formation had already been replaced with a Binding Spell—Luna's Milk Stain from three days ago, accidentally spilled at the formation's center, now glowed with an eerie blue seal.
Aelia's Dragonbone Wand erupted with Ice and Fire dual-colored lightning, burning a charred Hole in the Contract. "You want to use my Dowry's moonstone to keep a lover?" She tore off her Guardian Necklace, twenty-three years of marital vows transforming into ice spikes aimed at her husband's throat, but at the last moment, they were deflected by the suddenly Zhen Chan-shaken floor.
The entire Magic Castle's moonstone emitted a sharp scream as the Enamel Pot in the kitchen shattered and spewed forth black mist.
Luna watched as her previously scraped Bronze box began to shake violently; within it, the Ice Soul Pearl was infusing some Ancient Contract power into Geomancy.
Meanwhile, at the far end of the Castle Corridor, chaotic footsteps surged like a tide.
The Crystal Chandelier clinked amidst the Magic Shockwave as twelve Liujin Gates were simultaneously flung open.
The first to rush in was Third Young Master Lucius; he was cut by shards of the Contract, and his sleeve embroidered with Redbud instantly stained with Bloodstain.
The maids clustered at the archway holding Starlight Lanterns, countless fragments of Magic Reflection floating in the warm yellow Halo, projecting Leonard and Daisy’s intimate moments from Leonard's Last Night onto the Malachite wall.
"Father said he would be in seclusion studying on Lunar Eclipse Night..." Lucius crushed moonstone shards underfoot, his throat feeling as if choked by an Ice Spike.
This young Mage, known for his thunderous methods, suddenly clutched his Heart; he had given Daisy's cousin a Rite of Passage—the Turquoise Brooch that was now flickering in the image—suddenly felt scalding hot.
Luna grasped Qin Si's silver chain amidst the chaos, and the Ice Crystal Stone Necklace fell into the shattered Enamel Pot's black mist.
As the butler pushed his way to the front with a candelabrum, he caught sight of a diagnosis confirming Daisy's pregnancy forming in the fog—at the bottom right corner of the Parchment, Leonard's personal Emblem glowed with Blood Light, matching the bloodstains from Aelia's Palm.
"It's just a Contract Marriage." Leonard flicked away the shards of ice from his cuff as the Dark Red Velvet Carpet suddenly surged into a blood-colored swamp.
He stepped onto the Lace torn from Aelia's Skirt, moving toward the Magic Array Eye. "The Glorious Demon Fortress has stood for three hundred years; are we to let it be destroyed by a woman's jealousy?" The Obsidian Ring grazed the edge of the Binding Spell, and the array point that Luna had spat out Milk Stain three days ago suddenly overflowed with the sweet scent of Blueberry Juice.
Aelia's Dragonbone Wand carved a chasm of Ice and Fire into the Ground, and a Dowry Box that hadn't been used in twenty-three years erupted from the Underground.
When the Box Lid opened, an Ice Crystal Phoenix flew out, shattering the West Tower's Castle Spire, while a Violet Handkerchief hidden in the attic was swept up by a whirlwind above everyone's heads.
She stood on a Phoenix Tail Feather suspended in mid-air, and Blood Pearls oozing from her Skirt transformed into an icy rainstorm: "From this day forth, the Moonstone Vein will only recognize Aelia's Emblem."
As the first drop of blood rain struck Leonard's epaulet, a sudden cracking sound came from the kitchen as if Bronze were splitting.
The Bronze box that Luna had previously scraped rust off split in two, and an Ice Soul Pearl surged forward, carrying Ley Line Energy into the blood rain.
The castle's foundation began to Zhen Chan, and those Defensive Spells altered by Leonard twisted like melting Beeswax.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly exclaimed.
The fragments of Aelia's shattered Guardian Necklace began to spontaneously assemble, forming some ancient Counter-Contract Spell amidst the blood rain.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her finger, stained with Milk Stain, onto the center of the Curse. The Ice Soul Pearl abruptly changed direction and drilled into the Earth Rift—this was precisely what was recorded in the Original as a precursor to "Earth Vein Reversal."
Leonard's expression changed drastically as his Extramarital Contract hidden in his sleeve suddenly ignited.
Daisy's voice pierced through the Magic Communication Mirror, as the Blue Fire rising from Rose Manor illuminated half of the night sky.
When he attempted to activate the castle's emergency Defensive Formation, he discovered that all the focal points had been replaced with Aelia's moonstones.
"Did you think it was only the Marriage Contract that was altered?" Aelia's Ice Crystal Phoenix shattered the last moonstone, and where its wings swept, the Marriage Stele Inscription of the First Generation Fortress Master and the Moon Spirit emerged from three hundred years ago.
The ancient Contracts that Leonard had erased were re-emerging in the blood rain, with the Inscription stating, "The Betrayer shall forever lose the protection of Geomancy," burning into his pupil.
The castle suddenly tilted five degrees, and Luna's doodles from three days ago on the Nursery wall glowed with golden light—the distorted sun pattern perfectly aligned with the moment the Ice Soul Pearl dove into Geomancy's track.
As Leonard staggered to support the toppled Bronze Candlestick, an Ancient Chant from underground shattered all the stained glass windows.
Aelia's blood-stained Skirt Hem swept across the Stele Inscription, and the Resonance of the Moonstone Vein sent her silver hair cascading like a river of stars.
Underneath the collapsing Castle Dome, she raised her Dragonbone Wand, lightning of Ice and Fire intertwining to form the shape of the Crown of the First Generation Castle Lord's Lady: "From this moment on, all Earth Vein Contracts of Glorious Demon Fortress must be baptized by moonlight—"
The unfinished Declaration was swallowed by a Blue Light erupting from underground, and the Earth Vein Tremor triggered by the Ice Soul Pearl lifted the entire castle three inches off the ground.
Luna gazed at her fingers stained with Blueberry Juice; those unintentional marks left at the focal points spread along Geomancy's lines like a Gold Thread suddenly tightened on a Fate Spindle.
Under everyone's terrified gaze, the Bronze Statue of the First Generation Castle Lord's Lady suddenly turned its neck, its stone pupil aimed in the direction of Infant Swaddling.
