As Zhong Ming penetrated the stone wall, Aelia was immersing the remnants of her wedding vows in a bath of rose salt.
The Crystal Chandelier refracted seventeen halos in the steam, perfectly illuminating Luna's unusually bright pupil in the cradle—she was fixated on the third fork of the Liujin vines behind the Dressing Mirror.
"Madam, Young Miss is due for her Ye Lu," Qin Si said, his fingers holding the silver cup suddenly spasming, causing the Starlight Grape Juice to ripple at the rim.
Luna's action of extending her pink tongue to lick the air reminded Aelia of the gluttonous Magic Patterns on the Colored Window of the Court of Judgment.
As the tenth drop of purplish-red liquid seeped into Luna's mouth, intricate Hexagram patterns erupted across her infant neck.
Qin Si's silver cup fell with a clatter, splattering Blue Blood Fern Juice that etched charred Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes into the Persian Carpet—each hole displayed the Three-Tailed Scorpion emblem from the Outer Chamber Family Crest.
"Mother... hic..." Luna suddenly emitted a lullaby voice wrapped in the scent of wine, her chubby fingertip poking at the mirror's vines. "Father buried Ruby... in Scorpion's tail..." Luna's silver threads pierced through the mirror's surface, projecting Leonard's scene from last night in the Separate Courtyard south of the city into the steam.
Aelia's hand, clutching the remnants of her wedding vows, swelled with veins as Leonard's Last Night reflected in the mirror—showing her own embroidered Purple Iris Scarf now draped around Concubine’s snow-white neck.
When Leonard slipped the Family Heritage Ring onto that woman's finger, the remnants of wedding vows in the bath suddenly melted into crimson iron water.
"Three years ago on Midsummer Night, Father said he was going to inspect the Northern Boundary Barrier." Luna, her eyes hazy with intoxication, grasped Aelia's Pearl Necklace tightly. Silver threads from Luna branded a temporary mind-reading spell on Aelia’s collarbone. "But his belt buckle was stained with Golden Marigold Pollen... your least favorite scent..."
Qin Si suddenly lunged forward to cover the baby's mouth but was frozen in place by Aelia with solidified bathwater.
Ice crystals crawled up the maid’s calf, exposing a piece of paper hidden inside her skirt’s dark bag—the Three-Tailed Scorpion Pattern paper contained this month’s Lord’s itinerary.
"Monthly inspections of the Magic Crystal Mine on New Moon Night?" As Aelia tore apart the paper, it disintegrated into seventeen burning scorpions. "Is it necessary to detour twenty miles to Red Mill south of the city?" Her pearls around her neck suddenly shattered, smashing against the wall to form a shape resembling the Northern Territory Starry Sky Totem.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna stuffed Star Sand soaked in grape juice into Aelia's palm, and purple Sandy Gravel automatically arranged itself into a Contract Magic Pattern.
As the seventh grain nestled into a crack within the word "loyalty," all mirrors in the Bedroom simultaneously reflected Leonard repeating his ring on different women's necks during Leonard's Last Night.
"Why Marigold?" Aelia's hand, gripping Qin Si's chin, was dripping with blood as the remnants of the wedding vow melted into iron at her feet, forming a Thorned Crown. "Because that bastard's life was saved with the Magic Potion I cultivated when she first had a High Fever?"
Luna suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail, the Sound Wave shattering thirty-two Prisms of the Crystal Chandelier.
Each shard reflected the scene in the basement of Outer Chamber Villa—filled with Moonstones that should have belonged to the Three Young Masters, with Aelia's Mother's Star Moon Crown resting atop a box.
When the roar of a Magic Carriage echoed from the West Side of the castle, Luna's cries abruptly ceased.
The baby's eyes, glowing with a Purple Light, mirrored Qin Si's convulsing face. Silver threads seeping from Luna were slowly peeling away the Brand of the Three-Tailed Scorpion from the maid's temples—its interior flickering with Leonard's magical fingerprint.
Aelia walked across the frost-covered carpet toward the terrace, the residual warmth of the wedding vow remnants melting the Iron Grate into a Five Fingers shape.
In the distance, the bell tower of the Court of Judgment suddenly illuminated with dawn's light, casting shadows of Twelve Rays precisely on the Lord's Study, outlining the Dark Compartment that concealed the Three-Tailed Scorpion seal in exquisite detail.
The night wind swept Aelia's unbound hair, causing three silver threads to fall onto Luna's palm.
The baby clutched a strand of Hair and arranged it on a Velvet Blanket to form a Northern Star Map, with the brightest Alpha Star aligning with the location of the castle's underground Wine Cellar—where Aelia's Bride Price Chest was buried twenty years ago. At this moment, a gap in the chest revealed Marigold Powder, favored by Concubine.
As the fourth bell toll from East Tower overlapped with Hoofbeats from West Side, Luna’s neck suddenly oozed Blood Pearl.
Where the Blood Pearl rolled off, the Star Map on the Velvet Blanket spontaneously ignited, illuminating a black-robed Residual Shadow hastening down the corridor—the figure’s waist dripped with Purple Grape Wine from Chengnan Red Mill.
As Leonard’s Silver Boots crushed ice crystals beneath him, three solidified Ice Spikes hovered near Aelia’s temples.
Golden Marigold Pollen clung to the hem of Lord’s cloak and fluttered down; upon touching the charred Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes in the carpet, it ignited into Azure Blue Flame.
"I can explain." Leonard reached out to grasp Aelia’s shoulder but was cut by a suddenly surging Wedding Oath Thorn that pierced his palm.
Dark red blood droplets fell onto the carpet as the moment of the Three-Tailed Scorpion pattern caused the entire room's mirrors to emit a screech.
Aelia took a step back, crushing the ice crystals of the Qian Si Skirt. The maid, Temples, had only peeled away half of the Scorpion Brand when it suddenly burst forth with a strong light.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna stuffed the blood-soaked Star Sand into her mouth. The baby's loud cry, intertwined with magic resonance, transformed Leonard's waist Blood Wine into a purple mist.
"Explain why you use the Moonstone from my Bride Price Chest to raise Leonard's Concubine every month on the new moon?" Aelia snapped, breaking her pearl necklace. The last three beads struck the ground, creating a burning star trail. "Explain why you gave the Inheritance Ring to your illegitimate child while our son was coughing blood in the Magic Crystal Mine?"
Leonard's defense spell, conjured by Zhang Jian, suddenly twisted and transformed into twelve thorny vines that ensnared his ankles—Luna's silver threads had unknowingly wrapped around the Moonlight Vine of the window lattice.
The baby waved its fist, stained with grape juice, completing the final stroke of the Contract Magic Pattern.
"Those Magic Crystal Mines..." The Lord's voice caught in his throat as the Court of Judgment's bell rang through the black hole on his cloak, casting a trembling scorpion tail shape on the ground.
Burning paper ashes suddenly coalesced into an hourglass, the upper half filled with marigolds while the lower half accumulated Hei Xue coughed up by the Three Young Masters.
At the moment Aelia's tears fell into the hourglass, all mirrors in the bedroom suddenly reflected scenes from twenty years ago.
Luna's silver threads wove through the mirror, intertwining Leonard's late-night will revisions, scenes of his concubine wearing the Star Moon Crown, and the screams during the Three Young Masters' magic backlash into a blood-red spider web.
When the eighth drop of Lacrima shattered Xi Chuang's colored glass, Luna suddenly let out a magical burp.
The grape seed spat out by the baby lodged perfectly into a crack in the wall, automatically activating Aelia's Guardian Array buried eighteen years ago.
An emerald color light barrier rose around Shan Na, revealing Leonard’s Memory Alteration Scroll hidden in his sleeve, exposing its scorpion tail Huo Qi.
"Mother... it hurts..." Luna timely grasped her heart beneath a velvet blanket as her silver threads entwined around Aelia’s wrist to form a Diagnosis Magic Pattern.
In the midst of the Magic Resonance, the Lady finally "saw" her eldest son succumb to the backlash as Leonard deliberately knocked over the pain relief potion, Leonard's Last Night.
Aelia's Sobbing transformed into an Ice Storm, sending Leonard crashing onto the Northern Star Map laid out by Luna.
Inside the Wine Bottle shattered by Lord Leonard's Sword, a purplish-red liquid etched a complete Three-Tailed Scorpion Crest into the carpet.
The longest scorpion tail pointed directly at Luna's Swaddling, and suddenly, seventeen Star Stones flew out from the infant's neck. They formed an Ancient Incantation overhead, signifying a change in inheritance.
"You think using the Contract Magic Pattern will..." Leonard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as Zhang Jian's magic glowed with a dangerous orange light.
But before the Spell could take shape, Aelia had already torn down the curtain tassels and hurled them into the Star Sand Array Eye—this was a Talisman they had woven together on their wedding night, now continuously channeling Magic Source into Luna.
In the infant's suddenly wide-open Purple Eyes, the Projection of Judgment Tower pierced through five layers of stone walls.
As the Pendulum brushed past Lord's Seal for the third time, the grape juice spat out by Luna suddenly solidified into an Ice Spike, pinning Leonard’s Family Crest at the nape of his neck and Qin Si’s Scorpion Brand on his forehead together.
Aelia stepped closer to her husband along the Burning Star Trail, pearls that fell from her hair struck the Ground, creating deep pits.
Each pit erupted with images from their Wedding Oath Ceremony—twenty-year-old Leonard placing the Iris Crown in her hair while a Three-Tailed Scorpion Emblem Gold Box hidden in his sleeve dripped with venom.
"Do you know what hurts the most?" The Lady's bloodied Fingertip brushed against Lord's collar, and the Gold Thread embroidered Iris instantly turned to Ashes. "It is you who destroyed our Children's future, using the Moonlight Rose that I nurtured with my own hands as nourishment."
Luna’s Loud Cry suddenly transformed into a distant chant, and Star Sand seeping from the infant's Palm automatically filled in the last gap of the Contract Magic Pattern.
As Shan Na pushed open the Bedroom door with a gust of night wind, Aelia Family Guardian Beast, sleeping within the corridor mural, suddenly opened six eyes—three of which flowed with light identical to that of the Three Young Masters.
When Leonard stumbled back against the terrace Railings, the fifth Zhong Ming from East Tower shook off a century’s worth of dust.
In the swirling dust, Aelia picked up the Star Sand that Luna had been playing with and discovered the brightest Alpha Star Sand. On its back, she faintly saw the remnants of the Revenge Incantation left by Mother.
The Lord struggled to prop himself up, only to see his wife entwining the blood-stained Wedding Oath Thorn into a hairpin.
Moonlight streamed through the shattered Colored Window, illuminating Lucius, casting a drop of Lacrima that hung precariously in the air, reflecting an Ice Blue hue—identical to the drop that had frozen at her temple twenty years ago when she fought for her family with the Ice Blade.
Aelia's fingertip brushed over the Revenge Incantation formed from Star Sand, and an Ice Blue Tear crystallized into a diamond shape at the turning point of the Curse.
The Contract Magic Pattern slowly rotated in the shadow cast by her skirt, grinding the Golden Marigold Pollen that Leonard had knocked down during his struggles into powder.
"Mother... I want to hug..." Luna timely extended her small hand, stained with grape juice, as her silver strands intertwined with her mother's wrist to form a Diagnosis Magic Pattern.
As Aelia bent down, the alcohol fumes exhaled by the infant just happened to stain her earlobe's moonstone red, automatically activating the Bloodline Resonance that had slept for twenty years.
Images of her three sons as infants suddenly emerged in the fractured mirror—her eldest son with a Bleeding Magic Rune on his swaddling blanket, her second son grasping a Star Chart Device during his full moon celebration, and her third son laughing joyfully upon seeing the Moonlight Rose.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly shattered, revealing a Micro Array hidden within its inner side that projected a Holographic Image: Leonard handing over his eldest son's most precious Moonstone Pocket Watch to a Concubine for her amusement.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly broke through the ice and let out a Qian Jiao. The Scorpion Brand that had peeled away from his temples sprouted Poison Spikes aimed at Luna.
In an instant, baby Luna opened her Hexagram Shield, rebounding the Poison Spike into Leonard's ankle—right where he had left a Magic Nexus when he received the family head's Inheritance years ago.
Aelia stepped onto the Yin Hui of the Contract Magic Pattern and walked toward the terrace, as moonlight coated her blood-stained White Dress with Ice Armor.
She removed the shattered Wedding Ring and tossed it into the Star Sand Array Eye. The Guardian Spell buried on their wedding night twelve years ago broke ground and formed a Thorned Throne around Luna's swaddling.
"The Track of Alpha Star should return to its rightful position now." Aelia lightly tapped on Luna's Northern Star Map, causing three vacant star positions to suddenly light up—corresponding to her eldest son's study, her second son's laboratory, and San Zi's rose garden.
A roar echoed from the depths of the castle as the Bride Price Chest opened, and twenty boxes of Moonstone broke free from the confinement of Marigold Powder, soaring like shooting stars towards the Three Young Masters.
Leonard's attempt to summon the Head of the Family Scepter was abruptly halted as he realized that the Projection from the Judgment Tower was enveloping the infant Luna.
Suddenly, a grape seed spat out by Luna took root and sprouted, its vines wrapping around the Castle Lord's Signet Ring, forcefully pulling it from his finger and embedding it in the center of the Star Map.
As the last Moonstone found its place, Aelia's Mother's Star Moon Crown emerged above Luna's head.
The baby's loud cry transformed into an ancient spell, condensing all the burning ashes of Scorpions in the Bedroom into a Sheepskin Scroll—exactly what Leonard had modified from the Original Will.
"You think I can only nurture Moonlight Roses?" Aelia exclaimed, tearing off her Ice Crystal Hairpin. As the tip grazed the floor, a massive magic array emerged, covering the entire Magic Castle.
Each focal point flickered with Shell Buttons gifted to Mother by the Young Masters in their childhood, while the Judgment Array was forged from twenty years' worth of Tears of Marriage Vow.
Luna suddenly grabbed Aelia's skirt and stood up, her chubby feet precisely stepping on an Energy Node of the magic array.
The Star Sand surging from baby Luna automatically filled in the cracks of the array, drawing three Guardian Beast silhouettes on Madam's skirt—Griffin, Unicorn, and Phoenix Xu Ying raised their heads and cried out towards the direction of the Three Young Masters' residence.
As the sixth Zhong Ming from the East Tower shook loose remnants of snow from the Window Lattice, Aelia entrusted Luna to the awakening Guardian Beast for safekeeping.
Moonlight filtered through her hair where she had just fastened her Ice Crystal Hairpin, casting tiny light spots on the Velvet Blanket—the brightest one quietly crawled towards the third fork of Liujin vines behind the Dressing Mirror, where Luna had dissolved a Peering Magic Pattern with her saliva yesterday.
