As the Frost Rose unfurled its seventh petal under the moonlight, Luna lay nestled in her velvet Cradle, laughing joyfully.
The Light Sprites she had lured with her Starry Pattern danced around the Crystal Baby Bottle, shedding glimmers of Phosphor Dust with each twirl, painting the Wisteria curtains with a flowing galaxy.
"Little gluttons, this is the last one," Luna said, flipping her Chubby Palm over, letting the shards of Moonstone trickle down from her fingers.
Three Little Ones with transparent Wings immediately rushed to snatch it up. One of them miscalculated and bumped into her nose, causing the baby to kick and topple the Soft Cushion tower.
The scattered Magic Water crystals rolled into the Dark Pattern of the carpet, perfectly forming half of a Teleportation Circle's outline.
Aelia burst into the Nursery, her cloak dusted with Frost Butterfly Scale Powder. The Starshine Ribbon entwined in her Hair Bun emitted a warning hum. "Luna, all the Laurel Trees in the Magic Castle have suddenly withered!" She scooped up the baby who was poking at a Light Sprite's belly, not noticing that the Little Ones hurriedly hid in the collar of Luna's lotus leaf dress. "You found a Dark Elf Contract Emblem in your Father's Study..."
"Poo?" Luna blew out a string of Rainbow Bubbles, two of which perfectly encircled Aelia's swaying Emerald Earrings.
She deliberately used magic to transform her Moonstone Earrings into Lollipop shapes, commanding the Light Sprites to steal the Strawberry Pie from the Grooming table while Aelia was distracted—an exquisite creation baked for three hours by the Cook using Dragon Breath.
The Lady of the Fortress pinched her daughter's flailing Little Feet. "We must set off immediately; Lucius discovered..." She suddenly fell silent, her Fingertip brushing over the faint Silver Guardian Spell mark on Luna's nape.
Where the Family Crest had once been etched now emerged half of an Elvish Language character meaning "betrayal."
Luna quieted suddenly as she caught a whiff of Humus from Aelia's sleeve.
It was unmistakably the scent of Black Marsh unique to the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Fortress' Sighing Corridor. In the original storyline, this place was destined to become Second Brother's grave three months later.
The baby's Pupil sparkled with icy shards as it reached out to tug at Mother's Ice Moon Stone Necklace.
"Be good; I'll make you Starlight Candy when we return." Aelia pulled out a piece of Magic Candy that sparkled like Xing Hui, sealed in Sugar Paper with a dancing Aurora inside.
Luna's attention was instantly captured, completely unaware that Mother's left hand behind her back was seeping cold sweat—each drop hitting the ground formed a miniature Prewarning Array, within which floated a blood-stained Spirit Wing Membrane.
As their Silver Scale Carriage returned to Magic Castle and stopped beneath the Purple Mist Flower Corridor, Luna was busy distributing collected Magic Water crystals from Three Months among the Light Sprites.
She stuffed the brightest Blue Sapphire into Captain Little's hands, who was always tugging at her tail, and wrapped a few pieces of Moonlight Sand in a saliva-dampened Daisy Handkerchief. "Make sure to hide it well," the baby said seriously as she patted the glowing heads of the fairies, completely unaware that the Guardian Charm she had secretly tucked inside was already taking effect—those spells mixed in with the candy would prevent a certain Dark Sacrificial Ritual from occurring seven days later.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the seventh Night Blooming Rose, Luna suddenly clung to the Carved Window Lattice.
The Curse Mark on her neck felt slightly warm, casting a sickly glow on the dark purple flowers rushing past outside.
A certain Magical Fluctuation, tinged with Iron Rust Taste, brushed against her curled eyelashes, casting a fleeting Residual Shadow on the baby’s retina—a distorted flower stem oozed Black Slime resembling Asphalt, while the Lily of the Valley, which should have emitted a sweet fragrance, opened its crimson veins under the moonlight.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage passed through the last Moonlight Barrier, Luna suddenly grabbed Aelia's Silver Thread Embroidered Shoes at the cuff.
The Moonlight Roses, which should have radiated a soft Light Gold Fluorescence, now harbored black mist the size of Needle Tips within their petals, as if countless spiders were gnawing at their veins.
"Yay!" The baby deliberately poked her finger covered in Honey Biscuit crumbs out the window.
Aelia's pupils suddenly constricted as she quickly used her Ice Moon Stone Necklace to block Luna's line of sight.
The decaying flower stems began to writhe, oozing Asphalt-like Black Slime that stained the moonlight a Purple-Black hue—this was a Corruption Spell most adeptly wielded by Dark Elves, but it was Forbidden Magic that should have been sealed within the Sighing Corridor.
"Just some mischievous flower sprites playing hide and seek," the Lady of the Fortress said as she blew a puff of Xing Wu onto her daughter's palm, transforming it into an Ice Crystal Butterfly with fluttering wings.
Luna clapped along with the Cradle’s railing, but suddenly all the Light Sprites hidden in the folds of her swaddling blanket fluffed up collectively, scattering their stolen Magic Water crystals everywhere.
When the Silver Scale Carriage landed in the Emerald Courtyard, three Magical Fluctuations simultaneously shattered the Protective Barrier.
Three glowing vines suddenly shot out from Luna's lace-trimmed collar, expertly wrapping around her three brothers' Magic Sources that were about to go berserk.
"Sister's Welcome Ceremony is quite thrilling," said the eldest brother with a wry smile as he held his Wisteria Staff; his Right Leg was ensnared by a Thunder Element Chain that was devouring the Crystal Floor.
Luna immediately spat out a string of Rainbow Bubbles, with the largest one enveloping his knee where the backlash Curse Mark lay—what had once been a raging Lightning Element suddenly calmed down and transformed into a docile silver kitten.
The Second Brother's Phantom Mirror was still stuck in a Time-Space Rift, reflecting his dear friend's face as it gradually became more demonic.
Luna suddenly flung the saliva-soaked daisy handkerchief, and the distorted figure in the mirror was instantly purified into a light spot. "Aha!" She proudly waved the Starshine Hairpin she had stolen from Aelia, completely unaware that she had unintentionally broken the mirror curse that had troubled Second Brother for three months.
Brother San's flame harp suddenly emitted a loud sound, as the phoenix Xu Ying dancing above Qin Xian was gnawing at his magic circuit.
Luna abruptly grabbed Aelia's dangling Starshine Ribbon and blew a massive soap bubble that enveloped the harp.
When the bubble burst with a pop, everyone saw the faded Hei Ban on the Phoenix Tail Feather—clearly a tampered Talent Sealing Technique.
"It seems our Little Moon has gained quite a bit from her training outside." Aelia gently stroked Luna's head, but the infant suddenly grabbed her wedding ring on her ring finger.
The spot where the Eternal Blue Diamond was once embedded now shimmered with a blood mist-like Contract Residual Shadow.
As Qin Si rushed in, her skirt knocked over the Dragon Blood Ink stand, splattering liquid that formed a grotesque face in midair. "Madam! The Transmitting Crystal in the West Tower suddenly..." She choked on her words, staring in horror at the glowing Curse Mark on Luna's neck—the Elvish Language character for "betrayal" was oozing black and gold liquid, staining the Family Crest on the Infant Swaddling into an eerie gray-green.
Aelia's fingertip frost suddenly froze the air in the entire hall.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna stuffed the stolen Moonlight Sand into Brother San's pocket. The sandy gravel immediately formed a fragmented Warning Totem on his palm—a twisted thorn entwined around half of a winged Family Crest, which was precisely the mark of Leonard's Outsider Family from the Original.
"Speak clearly." The voice of the Lady of the Fortress was colder than polar ice, as her Starshine Ribbon suddenly shredded three eavesdropping Transmission Sprites.
Trembling, Qin Si unfurled the sheepskin scroll that had been corroded into a Black Hole; the end of the scroll was stained with a bloodied Spirit Wing Membrane—matching perfectly with fragments found earlier by Aelia in the Nursery's Prewarning Array.
Luna suddenly let out a sharp loud cry, and her Curse Mark erupted with blinding strong light.
Everyone's hearts simultaneously emerged with translucent Guardian Spells, while the moonlight in the hall's dome was suddenly tainted crimson. The vines climbing on the Colored Window began to grow wildly, quickly enveloping the entire Magic Castle into a massive Thorned Prison.
In that moment when everyone was blinded by the strong light, the infant quietly slipped something into Qin Si's apron pocket—a Memory Prism made from Magic Water crystals collected during Three Months. It reflected an image of a blonde woman caressing her pregnant belly during Leonard's Last Night, and on her ring finger was an Eternal Blue Diamond identical to Aelia's wedding ring.
As Qin Si fully unfurled the sheepskin scroll in hand, the grotesque face formed from Dragon Blood Ink let out a screech.
The Starshine Ribbon between Aelia's hair bun suddenly snapped taut, slicing the air into fine shards of ice. Luna seized the opportunity to press her drool-covered little hand against the edge of the scroll—those corroded Black Holes suddenly emerged, glowing with Elven Script.
"Three Days Ago... a loud cry of a baby came from the Transmitting Crystal in the West Tower." Qin Si's voice sounded like a nightingale with its throat constricted. Three glowing Iris chains crawled out from her sleeve, precisely the Guardian Charms Luna had previously given to the Light Sprite. "In the crystal's reflection, there's a Gold-Haired Woman cradling her Pregnant Belly, and she has... has..."
"She has fragments of the Eternal Blue Diamond hanging around her neck." Aelia interjected suddenly, her Wedding Ring on her ring finger emitting a piercing Han Qi.
The Ice Spike hanging from the hall's Dome abruptly changed direction, refracting the Blood Moonlight into countless sharp blades that accurately pierced through the Mutated Vines gnawing at the Colored Window.
Luna tugged at Mother’s cascading silver hair, using magic to weave her Hair into a Micro Star Map.
Three Light Spots corresponded to the positions of the Three Brothers—Eldest Brother's Thunder Element Chain on his staff began to flow in reverse, Second Brother's Light Spot in the Phantom Mirror formed a specific Coordinate, and Brother San's Moonlight Sand in his pocket suddenly floated into an Arrow Shape.
"Father's study hides a Teleportation Circle." Lucius suddenly kicked over a Bronze Candlestick, and the flickering flames coalesced in his Palm into a Roar of a Lion Head. "This morning when I went to deliver military reports, I smelled a foul stench mixed with the anti-magic incense from Black Marsh." The Lei Guang seeping from his armor's Gap roamed across the Ground, sketching out a similar Judgment Array to what Luna had previously created with Magic Water crystals.
Aelia's Ice Moon Stone Necklace suddenly buzzed; she looked down at the sleeping baby in her arms—Luna was secretly drawing teleportation runes on the swaddling cloth with her drool. The crooked lines perfectly completed the missing Southeast Corner of the Formation Diagram.
The Lady of the Fortress lightly tapped with her Fingertip, and those drool runes instantly froze into ice crystals, suppressing the entire hall's Magical Fluctuation to absolute zero.
"Three Hours Ago, a black market informant brought this." Qin Si trembled as she took out an object wrapped in Moonlight Sand—it was the Memory Prism that Luna had stuffed into her apron.
As the Prism made contact with Aelia's Wedding Ring and Han Qi, Leonard's Last Night—a memory of the Blonde Woman caressing her Pregnant Belly—suddenly projected onto the ice wall. The Blue Diamond Fragment on her ring finger resonated with Aelia's Wedding Ring, casting a distorted Gemini Totem in the Dome.
Lucius's heavy sword suddenly shattered the Ice Crystal Ground. "That woman's Nefarious Offspring in her belly can actually trigger our Family Star Map!" He pointed with Jian Feng at the Dark Pattern on the woman's Collarbone in Leonard's Last Night—a winged Family Crest entwined with Redbud, which was precisely the complete version of Brother San’s Palm Warning Totem.
Luna suddenly let out an urgent "Ah!" The Light Sprites burst forth from her collar, forming an incomplete Elvish Language Contract in mid-air.
Aelia’s pupils dilated sharply; those flickering Iris were clearly variations of a marriage vow curse: when Twin Star Radiance overlaps, Bloodline will reignite due to betrayal.
"Leonard made a double Contract using our marriage vow." The Lady of the Fortress suddenly crushed the ice crystals in her Palm, sending splintered shards coalescing into a Magic Sand Table in mid-air.
The Crystal Column representing the Magic Fortress Master Tower suddenly cracked open a Gap, and from within surged black mist that revealed Xu Ying from Sighing Corridor—what should have appeared three months later as a burial ground was now devouring Second Brother’s Phantom Mirror.
Suddenly, the Wisteria Staff in the hands of the elder brother took root and sprouted. From the blooming Bud, the voice of Father's Attendant emerged: "...My Lord has ordered the East Warm Chamber to be arranged as a Nursery..." Vines wildly grew across the sand table, swiftly altering the layout of the Magic Fortress Defense System Diagram into something unfamiliar.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her small hand, dusted with Moonlight Crumbs, against the edge of the sand table. The black mist was suddenly pushed back by the Starry Pattern, revealing the surging Dark Elf Contract Array beneath the Warm Pavilion Underground.
"Using my wedding chamber to raise an illegitimate child?" Aelia suddenly chuckled softly, her Starshine Ribbon shredding a stone pillar ten meters away.
The flying debris had not yet hit the ground when it was frozen into Ice Sculptures, each crystal encasing a Mutated Moonlight Rose—within those decayed flower cores, outlines of babies formed from black mist were gnawing at the Family Crest.
Lucius's heavy sword abruptly changed direction and struck towards the Teleportation Circle but was blocked by Second Brother's Phantom Mirror. "Mother, please allow me to lead a search of the study..." The Thunder Pattern on his armor was eroding the Frost Barrier but was purified at the moment it touched Luna's Swaddling.
Aelia handed the baby to Qin Si, and the Wedding Ring burned a Track into the sand table: "No one is to leave the Main Hall until Dawn." She undid her Hair Bun, her cascading silver hair transforming into a flowing river of stars. "I want to see for myself how many pieces the Eternal Blue Diamond has shattered into."
Luna suddenly grasped Mother's necklace; the surface of the Ice Moon Stone began to reveal a Magic Countdown—there were sixty-three hours and seventeen minutes left until the Time Node where Second Brother met his demise in the Original.
She spat out Moonlight Sand hidden beneath her tongue, mixing it with saliva. The Sandy Gravel spelled out a crooked Blood Arrow on Qin Si's apron, pointing directly towards the secret passage Aelia was about to enter.
As Lady of the Fortress's cloak disappeared into the shadows of the spiral staircase, Luna suddenly blew towards Brother San's pocket containing Moonlight Sand.
The Sandy Gravel leaped out and wrapped around her ankles, coalescing into two Miniature Magic Boots—exactly like those Aelia wore when she attended the Starlit Ball years ago.
