As the fireworks of the Starfall Platform crystallized into the emblem of the Glorious Demon Fortress in the night sky, Luna's pupils reflected the Silver Light dancing in the gaps of the floor tiles.
She curled up in the swaddling of Aelia, adorned with Evening Primrose, her pink fingertips unconsciously tapping against Qin Si's waist, where a newly replaced Emerald Bell hung. This was the third time in three months since she had arrived in this world that she heard her brother's wheelchair alarm resonating.
"Madam, look! The Young Miss's Contract Gold Pattern has lit up again!" Qin Si's excited exclamation was drowned out by the harp sounds of the celebration banquet.
Aelia's cascading silver hair brushed against Luna's cheek, carrying the bittersweet scent of mint and Long Blood Ink mixed with the exclusive Anshen Incense of the Lady of the Demon Fortress.
Suddenly, Luna began to struggle violently.
Her flailing fist struck Aelia's Star Moon Brooch with precision, causing the sapphire embedded at the tip of the moon to shatter.
The splintered crystal dust transformed into Glowing Butterflies as it hit the ground, fluttering towards the newly completed Protective Array Diagram in the dome.
"Luna!" Aelia hurriedly checked to see if the baby was hurt, completely unaware that her silver chain around her neck was being drawn by a swarm of magical butterflies, slowly pointing towards a hidden door in the southeast corner of the banquet hall.
That door led to a secret passage where Leonard kept Leonard's Concubine in the original story. At that moment, a gap in the door was seeping with Rose Essence, distinctly different from Aelia's Cedar Fragrance.
Luna let out a giggle from her swaddling, and her curled-up little foot suddenly kicked Qin Si's Crystal Cup.
Crimson Dragon Blood Wine splashed onto the ground, mingling with the Dragon Scale Powder that had previously seeped into the brick gaps. To their surprise, it revealed two overlapping footprints—large Silver Weasel Leather Boots layered over small Rose Embroidered Shoes, winding deeper into the hidden chamber.
Aelia's fingertip combing through her silver hair suddenly froze.
Luna felt the arms holding her begin to tremble and quickly rubbed her forehead against her mistress's cool chin.
As the unique pure Magical Fluctuation of a baby spread out, a dull thud echoed from the direction of the Library of Hidden Books as a Forbidden Book fell to the ground.
"Madam!" Lucius's voice sliced through the air, infused with the energy of his sword, as the young man in hand wielded the Dragonbone Sword, which was poised over a Grimoire with a gold foil cover.
At the tip of the sword, bloodstains that had not been wiped clean glimmered a ghostly blue under the moonlight, resonating with the Hei Ban that surged from the depths of Geomancy, casting shadows of entangled figures of Lucius on the wall.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna yanked at Aelia's Pearl Earrings with all her might.
As the Zhui Zi fell into the stain of Dragon Blood Wine, a hidden door burst open with a thunderous sound. Leonard, holding Leonard's Concubine by the waist, was illuminated by a swarm of magical butterflies, revealing every detail of Leonard's Last Night.
The Blood Rose tucked into Leonard's Concubine's hair was none other than the Soul Devouring Flower that bloomed for only a brief moment each year in the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Fortress.
"Aelia, this is..." Leonard stumbled back in panic, knocking over a Contract Puppet. Twelve Rays of Magical Delicacies floated into a Confinement Array formation.
The Lord's cuff, embroidered with gold thread, tore open to reveal an Azure Rose Totem stitched from a lover's hair on its inner side—perfectly matching the missing final piece of the Protective Array Blueprint.
Ailya's silver hair moved as if stirred by an unseen wind, and the Star Moon Chain entwined around Leonard's neck suddenly tightened. "Swear by our family's secret Starlit Chain Technique that you have never betrayed the Bloodline Contract of Magic Castle!" Her voice was as sharp as an ice-forged blade, yet her pupils shimmered with a broken starlight Luna had never seen before.
A sweetly pungent wind suddenly swept through the dark room as Leonard's Concubine emerged with a Black Mandrake brand—marking her as a Dark Magic Contractor.
Leonard's hand froze in mid-air as he attempted to summon his Guardian Beast; Luna was gripping the Gold Thread that had been torn from his cuff, and at its other end was tied to the Curse Red String on Leonard's Concubine's wrist.
"Father." Lucius’s Dragonbone Sword let out a mournful wail as the Family Crest Gem embedded in its hilt began to crumble. "Three years ago, when my brother’s right leg was injured by Magic Backlash that night, you said you would go reinforce the East Wing Defense Array..." The young man slashed his palm with his sword; as Blood Pearl dripped at Leonard's Concubine’s feet, a Magic Circle Diagram emerged from the ground, resonating with his brother’s wheelchair alarm.
Luna suddenly let out a sharp cry.
As an infant’s tears hit the ground, Qin Si’s waist split open, leaking powder from an Emerald Bell that formed half of an inverse scale shape on the ground.
Ailya’s silver hair swept across that totem’s Shan Na. The remnants of fireworks from Starfall Platform suddenly flowed back into the sky, reassembling into the Residual Shadow of her brother’s Guardian Beast who had gone missing three years ago.
The Dome of the Starfall Platform erupted with countless Jin Mang, and the Bronze serpent sculpture that had been perched on the Wheelchair Armrest of the elder brother suddenly fell away.
The black mist that had coiled around his Right Leg for three years let out a screech, swept up by the reversed fireworks as it surged into the night sky.
Luna gripped the Inverse Scale Totem, her Fingertip glowing with a Moon White Halo. The powder of the Demon Breaking Stone leaking from the Emerald Bell suddenly suspended in mid-air, forming a Star Trail that precisely embedded itself into the Magic Circuit surrounding the elder brother, which had been decaying for years.
"The glory of Ares..." Ailya's Silver Hair danced wildly in the magical whirlwind as she watched the tattered wizard robe of the Eldest Son being torn apart inch by inch.
Beneath his once withered skin, muscles began to swell and bulge anew. The Contract Patterns that had been gnawed by the Backlash Curse were visibly transforming into Dark Golden—an awakening sign reserved for candidates of the Great Mage.
As the Horn of the Competition pierced through the Defensive Formation, the elder brother's Palm had already gathered three Liuguang magic badges shimmering with colors.
He flicked his fingers lightly; the first badge transformed into a Frost Dragon, shattering the barrier of the eastern grandstand. The second became a Thunderstorm Phoenix, igniting the torch platform on the West Side. When the third vanished underground, the entire Starfall Platform began to float and rotate like a Coliseum.
"Mother, look!" Brother San suddenly pulled away the headband that always covered his Right Eye. The scar left by miscasting Black Magic was fading. "The elder brother is using... using page 777 of the Forbidden Spell Codex—the Glory Sacrifice Technique!" He trembled as he pointed at the floating Starfall Platform, his Eye Socket reddening as he discovered that his Astrology Staff resonated with the Star Trail of the Competition.
Second Brother abruptly crushed the Communication Crystal in his Palm, and shards cut into his Fingertip, causing drops of crimson Blood Pearl to fall.
The Contract Text altered by his dear friend rearranged itself in Blood Light, coalescing into a brand new Magic Contract. "So it turns out that the key to breaking the curse is not to destroy the Contract," he murmured as he gazed at his elder brother sweeping through enemies in the Competition arena. "But to cover a hypocritical covenant with a more powerful law."
As Qin Si hurriedly passed through the corridor with her medicine box, she was suddenly ensnared by a Moonlight Vine growing around her ankle.
Skilled in her craft, she swiftly cut off a segment of Vine Sap and dripped it into the Calming Incense Burner. Turning around, she saw Aelia pressing a Star Moon Brooch onto a corner of the Magic Castle's deed where there was originally an imprint of Leonard's Azure Rose Totem; at this moment, it was transforming under its mistress's magic into a blade Emblem entwined with Star Trail.
"Madam, there is an error in the number of Dragon Scales sent by the Northern Merchant Alliance." Qin Si spread out her account book on a table formed from condensed moonlight. As her Fingertip traced over a line of numbers, the Demon Breaking Stone hidden within her Hair Bun and Moonstone Earrings suddenly grew hot.
Aelia played the Crystal Harp with understanding, as the ice crystals shaken off by Qin Xian revealed the fingerprints of Leonard, the Mistress, on the ledger—those embezzled supplies were hidden in the West Tower's disguised Rose Garden.
Luna kicked her Soft Boots, adorned with Star Diamonds, in what seemed like a random flailing motion, but in reality, she was precisely striking at the vulnerabilities of the Defensive Formation.
When Brother San peeked at the Coliseum match for the thirteenth time, the baby suddenly let out a loud sneeze, and the Magic Bubble that burst forth perfectly mended his shattered Astrolabe.
In the mirror-like reconstruction of Shan Na, Brother San caught a glimpse of his future self wielding the Star River Staff.
As Twilight bathed the Magic Castle Spire, his elder brother stepped onto the observation platform, dragging a blood-stained cloak behind him.
A small Thunderstorm Phoenix perched on his left shoulder, while his right arm was entwined with Xu Ying of the Frost Dragon. Three magical badges had fused into a dark Jin Wen seal. "Mother," he pressed the Emblem onto the land deed Aelia was repairing, "the territorial rights I won in the Competition cover Father... that person's Rose Contract."
Lucius leaned against a Pillar in the shadows, watching Second Brother burn the rewritten Magic Contract to Ashes and scatter them into the fountain.
Those Ashes did not sink; instead, they transformed into silver fish that carried fragments of Brother San's repaired Astrolabe to Luna's Cradle.
The boy looked down at the Family Crest Gem re-embedded in the hilt of his sword and suddenly noticed a new ring of tiny Tooth Marks on its inner side—evidence of Luna's nibbling from last night.
Lucius's fingertip traced over the tiny Tooth Marks inside the Family Crest Gem as moonlight filtered through Stained Glass, casting mottled Light and Shadow on his sword hilt.
The Frost Patterns on Jian Qiao suddenly warmed up. He looked up to see Luna in her Cradle clutching Brother San's Astrolabe fragment, shaping the Stardust expelled by silver fish into an exquisite Magic Button.
"The Rose Garden of West Tower..." The boy whispered before standing upright; his Dragonbone Sword sensed its master's emotions and emitted a Qing Yue sword cry.
He saw Ailya's Silver Hair intertwining with the Star Trail Emblem on the land deed and Resonance, while Second Brother's rewritten Contract Text transformed into Ying Huo insects swirling around the fountain. Meanwhile, his elder brother's Thunderstorm Phoenix was devouring the remaining black mist.
Suddenly, the Crystal Pillar refracted Sevenfold Phantom; Lucius's pupils constricted—those phantoms were scenes from his childhood sword practice.
When the seventh phantom revealed Luna gnawing on the Family Crest of Leonard's Last Night, the Communication Crystal at his waist suddenly emerged, displaying a three-dimensional map of the Magic Castle. The position of the West Tower pulsated with the same Azure Rose Totem as Leonard's cuff.
"Do you want to come along?" A child's voice startled Lucius, causing Jian Feng to unsheathe three inches of his blade.
Turning around, he saw that Luna had somehow climbed to the edge of the cradle, her chubby little hands grasping the Jian Sui he had left in the nursery last night.
In her glassy, baby-like pupils swirled a cunningness not typical for her age. With fingers dusted in stardust, she drew a crooked Blood Arrow on his Jian Qiao, pointing directly towards the West Tower.
The sudden eruption of cheers from the viewing platform drowned out Lucius's sharp intake of breath.
Brother San's Astrology Staff gathered a brilliant galaxy at its tip, melting the repaired fragments of the Astrolabe into a new magical artifact; Second Brother was guiding silver fish into a rewritten Contract Scroll, each fish that dove into the parchment lighting up a Dark Gold Rune; meanwhile, Eldest Brother's Palm Emblem had completely fused with the land deed, casting ancient glory battle flags over the competition grounds in Xu Ying above the Magic Castle.
Aelia's Star Moon Chain suddenly emitted a warning as Leonard's sword hummed. The lady brushed her fingertips over Luna's tufted hair and tied a headband adorned with reverse scale fragments in her soft locks. "Tomorrow we need to check the inventory at the West Tower," she casually instructed Qin Si, her gaze sweeping over Lucius's slightly trembling Sword Tip.
The Maid understood and sprinkled Demon Breaking Stone powder into the incense burner, while Qing Yan sketched out hidden chambers within the West Tower structure on the dome.
Luna suddenly yawned and intentionally kicked over a treasure box filled with Star Diamonds as she rolled over.
The tinkling gems scattered across the floor, forming a crooked Magic Castle Emblem under the moonlight.
As Lucius bent down to pick them up, he noticed that each Star Diamond reflected different future scenes—when he placed the seventh diamond adorned with Frost Patterns back into the box, Luna’s soft palm suddenly pressed against his wrist, tying a glowing Magic Button onto the end of his Jian Sui.
"Master Lucius!" Qin Si hurriedly approached with Chilled Moonlight Wine. "Madam wants you to go to the Library of Hidden Books at dusk..." Her words were cut off as the button on the young Jian Sui projected a three-dimensional map. The magical barrier of the West Tower’s hidden chamber was flickering at a specific frequency—perfectly matching the fluctuations of the Defensive Formation from three years ago when Eldest Brother was attacked.
Luna giggled in her cradle, arranging the last few Star Diamonds into a blooming Black Rose shape.
As Lucius shattered the deceptive petals with sword energy, the Contract Blood Pearl hidden within the core of one gem suddenly vaporized into mist, revealing on the wall a copy of Leonard’s Dark Magic Contract signed with Leonard’s Concubine—those contracts embroidered with strands of lovers' hair were now being covered line by line by Luna’s arranged Star Diamonds.
Xu Ying of the Coliseum suddenly shrank into a sphere of light and vanished into the ground contract. As my brother's cloak swept over the threshold of the Nursery, it brought with it the scent of smoke and blood. "Mother asked me to deliver this," he said, tossing the bloodstained Xuanbing Bracers to Lucius. The inner side was inscribed with magical potion writing that read "West Wing Stable," seeping with Blood Pearl—exactly the spot where Lucius had encountered Father leaving in the dead of night three years ago.
Luna's pupil suddenly transformed into a brilliant Silver White hue. She grabbed a shard of the Emerald Bell that Qin Si had dropped, and drew a lightning-shaped Scorch Mark in front of Lucius and Jian Qiao.
As the young man used his sword energy for Automatic Activation on that mark, the Sword Body unexpectedly emerged, revealing a Magic Circuit that shared origins with the infant Jin Wen.
Silver fish in the fountain suddenly leaped out of the water, carrying pieces of the Teething Stick that Luna had gnawed on during the day, forming a pattern of the Star Moon Chain at his feet.
As Twilight deepened, Lucius leaned against the stone pillar beside Luna's Cradle, holding his sword.
He listened to Second Brother's chant as he rewrote the Contract, intertwining with Brother San's Astrology Staff as Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum, creating a Lullaby. He watched as Qin Si mixed Demon Breaking Stone powder into Anshen Incense while Luna clutched a Star Diamond and stuffed it into her mouth—when her teeth touched the gem, Shan Na, the Defensive Formation of the Magic Castle Dome, suddenly flickered with new patterns.
When the last wisp of black mist was devoured by Thunderstorm Phoenix, Aelia's Star Moon Chain solidified into a seal before the Nursery.
The matron's Fingertip brushed over the reverse scale fragments in Luna's hair. The infant suddenly rolled over to reveal her nape—there, Dark Golden Patterns quietly emerged, identical to those seen when my brother awakened, only to vanish again within the embroidered Evening Primrose shoes wrapped around her.
The remnants of fireworks Ashes from Starfall Platform suddenly stirred without wind, gathering above Luna's Cradle to form an ever-changing Star Map.
As she stuffed the last Star Diamond into her Soft Boots' Hidden Layer, a roar from deep within the Magic Castle Cellar echoed—a sound from an Ancient Bell sealed for millennia—the frequency resonating wonderfully with Jin Wen's faintly visible wrist.
