The flickering candlelight, on the verge of extinguishing, cast a spider web-like shadow at the corner of Aelia's eye. She stared at the two Iris Flower Earrings on the coffee table, their Magic Patterns completely faded.
Suddenly, the infant in the Nurse's arms let out an urgent Yiya sound, her tiny hand, stained with milk, precisely pressing down on a fragment of the Marriage Contract stone.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed in terror as ice crystal patterns began to emerge on the surface of the stone—patterns that perfectly matched Luna's shape.
Aelia's fingertip, which had been gathering an Ice Blade, suddenly dissipated.
She gazed blankly at her daughter's palm, where a light golden halo was swirling. It was clearly Original Magic Power that only a Great Mage could manipulate.
Memories flashed back to three months ago at the Star-Moon Altar, where the Astrologer hesitated, pointing at the Infant Swaddling: "The child born on Twin Moons' Night..."
"It's not a curse." Aelia suddenly grasped her daughter's flailing hand, realizing that those seemingly chaotic movements were actually sketching out a fragmented Ancient Sealing Array in mid-air.
As if compelled by some unseen force, she followed the direction of the baby's finger and looked toward the fireplace. The Bronze Griffin decoration's left eye glowed with a purple light that resonated with the Outer Domain Whispering Paper Crane.
Luna, anxious, bumped her forehead against her mother's collarbone. The strong light that erupted from Luna suddenly turned the entire Carved Silver Mirror blood red.
In the mirror appeared the scene of White Rose Manor: a Red-Haired Woman's abdomen was emerging with a Counter-Contract Spell, forming a magical closed loop with baby Luna.
"Symbiotic Curse!" The Young Master, who had just pushed his wheelchair into the room, accidentally knocked over a Magic Potion Bottle. The pale green liquid corroded the ground, leaving behind charred marks.
His incomplete left leg twitched suddenly—a remnant of the black magic backlash that had been forcibly interrupted three years ago.
Aelia lifted her daughter to eye level, her voice trembling: "You can see the Fate Line, can't you?
When the Judgment Ring activated last night, those Curse Runes were supposed to target the Caster..."
Luna suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on Mother’s index finger. In that instant, a wave of Bloody Smell filled the air, and twelve fragments of the Marriage Contract rune stones fused together to form a complete Star Map.
When Aelia's Lacrima shattered against the seventh rune stone, the Star Map projected an illusion of the Moonlight Sanctuary from ten years ago—young Leonard held her hand, dripping Dragon Blood onto the Marriage Contract Scroll, where a Dark Pattern clearly concealed half of an Inverse Pentagram.
"The Slave Brand from the black market in the Outer Realm." Third Young Master Lucius was leaning against the doorframe without anyone noticing. The shadow dagger in his hand spun and accurately struck Leonard’s sleeve, piercing through the Dark Bag.
Dozens of yellowed Parchments suddenly fell from the void, each stamped with Lady Merivale’s secret seal from her Alchemy Workshop.
Luna let out a sharp Loud Cry, and a surge of golden light enveloped everyone, teleporting them to the Underground Library.
When Aelia's Ice Magic illuminated the Wall Tile, they discovered that the entire West Wall's Family Tree Diagram had already been tampered with—beneath the Silver Moon Emblem representing the matriarch, dense blood handprints from Mama formed a birthing spell array.
"So the Red-Haired Woman is pregnant with..." Qin Si gasped, covering her mouth in terror.
"It’s the key to seize control of the Magic Castle through Bloodline." The Young Master’s Wheelchair rolled over the scattered ancient texts as he trembled, pointing to a newly Emerging Serpent Emblem at the edge of the lineage diagram. "Two months ago, when Third Brother’s magic went out of control, I saw this Contract Pattern in the Forbidden Zone."
Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee, driving his shadow dagger deep into a stone crevice. "Mother, please allow me to go to Northern Territory Bing Yuan." He tore open his collar to reveal a backlash Curse Mark on his collarbone. "The black Magic Ritual that my elder brother interrupted three years ago was actually when I was practicing shadow traversal..."
"It was modified by Father’s spatial Coordinate." Aelia's voice was as soft as melting snow as she pressed her daughter against her violently rising chest. "What Luna desperately wanted to tell us is that Leonard had already..."
The entire castle suddenly shook violently. The golden light emanating from Luna intertwined at the Dome, forming a blood-red prophecy: deep within Lady Merivale’s Alchemy Workshop, thirty-seven Curse Runes were reassembling into a god-slaying array.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the Stained Glass, everyone realized that those flowing Ashes had unknowingly climbed up onto Young Master’s Wheelchair's metal axle.
"Don’t touch it!" Aelia’s Ice Shield arrived too late; Luna's Milk Tooth had already shattered the outer disguise spell of the axle.
As the purple-black slime surged forth, everyone’s pupils reflected the figure of the Second Young Master—standing at the edge of the Magic Forbidden Zone, gripping a Demon-Breaking Dagger gifted by a "close friend."
Just as the purple-black slime was about to touch the tip of the Second Young Master’s shoe, Luna suddenly let out a sharp cry.
Golden bubbles spewed from the infant's mouth, enveloping the toxic liquid, and under everyone’s gaze, they solidified into glistening amber.
The Second Young Master’s knuckles turned white as he held the Demon-Breaking Dagger, and he suddenly noticed that the core of the amber encased a withered Wisteria leaf—exactly the "amulet" his friend had given him three years ago.
“So it was back then...” He staggered backward, his back colliding with the cold stone wall.
The chilling winds of the Magic Forbidden Zone swept in, bringing memories flooding back: the glint of his friend's fingertip as he handed over the dagger, the Puppet Thread hidden within the Guardian Array etched during that Stormy Night, and the Blood Sacrifice Rune concealed within.
The sound of a wheelchair rolling over the bluestone floor jolted him from his daze. The tattered hem of his robe brushed against the surface of the amber, reflecting shadows of a Serpent Pattern swimming within.
Luna waved her saliva-covered little hands, smacking twisted patterns onto the poisoned surface of his boots.
As faint golden patterns seeped into the leather, a long-dormant Guardian Spell at his collarbone suddenly flared to life.
With a clang, the Demon-Breaking Dagger fell to the ground, and an inverted Curse emerged from its blade, perfectly mirroring that of the amber core.
“Can it purify?” The Second Young Master crouched down with a hoarse voice, trembling fingertips hovering three inches above the dagger.
Suddenly, Luna grabbed his cascading silver hair and tugged him to look at the lineage chart on the West Wall—those blood-red handprints were slowly reconfiguring with the infant's Yiya Sound, gradually revealing the outline of a hidden healing array.
Aelia's ice-blue Magic Flow timely infused into the array as Han Shuang climbed up along the Second Young Master's sleeve, freezing mid-way through his spreading Curse Pattern on his wrist.
He stared blankly at the starlight swirling around his sister, Luna, suddenly pressing his forehead against the curled toes of the infant. "Give me three days... no, one day is enough. The North Tower hides the Core of the Barrier we once set up together..."
The Third Young Master, Lucius, was about to speak when a blinding light suddenly erupted from the Dark Compartment in the Southeast Corner of the library.
Lucius was knocked to the ground by the Magic Residue, his lower back crashing into a sandalwood box filled with ancient books.
As yellowed parchment fluttered down, he caught sight of the Elemental Paradox Notebook he had written by hand when he was twelve—its Yellowed Pages edged with Mama's dense annotations, mixed with misleading Formulas left by Leonard in Invisible Ink.
"So that's why there were abnormal fluctuations on the fire Elemental Affinity tester..." He grabbed a Blueprint depicting a double-ringed magic circle, rubbing his fingertip over the signature stained by tea in the lower right corner.
Memories struck him like lightning: on the eve of the Rite of Passage, Father had patted his thin shoulders and said, "Shadow Magic is unworthy of the Glorious Demon Fortress Heir," and then there was the sudden appearance of the Elemental Fusion Taboo Record in the Study Room Secret Compartment, along with those deliberately mislabeled Magic Node diagrams.
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly rose an octave, and the infant's kicking motion shattered a floating piece of Amber.
The splintered golden shards automatically adhered to the ancient book in Lucius's hand, incinerating Leonard's forged Formula into ashes.
As a Warm Current carrying Milk Fragrance brushed against his Magic Circuit, the Elemental Turbulence that had long been blocked in his chest suddenly flowed smoothly.
"Wrong... all wrong..." The Third Young Master staggered as he leaned against the bookshelf, his palm igniting uncontrollably with Ling Huo.
What once required three minutes of chanting for a mid-level fireball spell now coalesced naturally with each breath.
He turned to Aelia, who was checking Young Master's Wheelchair. His Adam's apple rolled violently. "Mother, please reopen the East Side Training Ground."
At that moment, Qin Si's tightly gripped silver Tea Spoon emitted a crisp sound.
The Head Maid took the opportunity to serve Aelia some chilled Rose Essence and quietly infused the lady's Peacock Blue Shawl with a detection spell.
When she noticed that the Ashes were attempting to cling to Ailya's Silver Hair along the Silver Thread, she quickly tore off Liu Su and tossed it into the fireplace.
In the flickering Dark Purple Flame, the reflection of Lady Merivale's Alchemy Workshop emerged, with thirty-seven Curse Runes coalescing into the shape of eyes.
"Should we notify the Dark Guard?" Qin Si asked, blocking Aelia's line of sight with her body. While tidying up the coffee table, she concealed Luna's fallen Milk Tooth in a Si Pa that had been imbued with a Purification Spell.
She observed that the Second Young Master was modifying his Guardian Spell with a Demon-Breaking Dagger, while the Third Young Master's Fingertip's Ling Huo had shifted in color from Crimson to Liujin.
Aelia gently shook her head and lifted her daughter to eye level with the West Wall's lineage chart.
When Luna's Luna touched a blood handprint, the entire stone wall suddenly became transparent, revealing an ancient altar hidden underground.
The Young Master's missing Left Leg suddenly oozed black mist, and the Magic Crystal Stone embedded in the Wheelchair Armrest automatically flew towards the altar's Groove.
"So Father couldn't even...," the Young Master said with a bitter smile as he removed his single lens glasses, which were cracked and reflected his interrupted black Magic Ritual from three years ago—Leonard's Last Night.
What he had thought was an accidental backlash curse now clearly revealed traces of Leonard's modified Rune Pen in the altar's Blue Light.
Luna suddenly broke free from her swaddling, her chubby Palm slapping down on the center of the altar.
Amidst the soaring golden light, the Curse Fragment embedded in the Young Master's leg bones clattered to the ground.
As the first fragment touched the Ground, all candle flames in the library abruptly turned a ghostly blue, illuminating Lucius's cuff where a map of the Northern Territory—Bing Yuan—was concealed. The Ice Crystal Pattern along the edge of the Parchment resonated with Luna’s Luna.
Lucius's fingers dug deeply into the edge of the altar made of Ancient Stone Brick, the flames of Lustrous Gold flickering in his pupils.
The shadow dagger cast a slender shadow on the ground, gently trembling in sync with Luna's movements as she patted the altar.
He gazed at the scattered Curse Fragments curling into Ashes within the Blue Fire, suddenly reminded of the time he sneaked into his father's study at the age of seven, where he had seen a similar ethereal blue swirling at the bottom of a Dragon Blood Ink bottle.
"The Third Young Master's Dark Element affinity report..." In his memory, the butler had handed a parchment to Leonard, while his father marked a certain value with the Ruby on his ring, leaving a Scorch Mark.
Those tampered test results now flickered with true data among the altar's runes, illuminated by Luna's radiant light.
Aelia's Ice Spike Hair Ornament suddenly emitted a series of tiny cracking sounds, as the golden light spilling from the infant's palm wrapped around the falling ice crystals like a Spider Web.
Lucius watched as the elemental affinity chart was restored and spread out beneath the Dome, a bitter taste of Iron Rust rising in his throat—on the night he awakened his Shadow Affinity at twelve, when his father shattered the Moonlight Cup and cut his palm, the splattered Wine Liquid clearly contained crushed star Pollen that suppressed Dark Element.
"Mother." Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee, carving the totem of Northern Territory Bing Yuan into the stone with his shadow dagger. "Please allow me to set out tonight." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Luna gnawing on the Star Moon Emblem at the center of the altar with her Milk Tooth; the drool-soaked patterns revealed a sealed shadow passage Coordinate.
Before Aelia could speak, Luna suddenly burst into laughter.
The infant clutched a Sapphire pried from the altar and crawled awkwardly toward Lucius.
When her tiny hand dusted with Magic Dust landed on his knee, the shadow dagger soared into the air, projecting thirty-seven Light Spots onto the Dome—each precisely corresponding to the positions of Lady Merivale's Alchemy Workshop's Curse Runes.
"Take this." Aelia's fingertip crystallized into an Ice Crystal Pendant, but as she reached out to hand it to San Zi, Luna grabbed her wrist.
The golden light radiating from the infant Luna suddenly reflected an object in Lucius's cloak pocket: half of a Pocket Watch engraved with Aster, which was indeed a Token of Love given by Aelia to her husband twenty years ago.
Lucius's pupils constricted sharply.
He suddenly tugged open the collar of his shirt, revealing a new Frost Mark emerging just below his collarbone—perfectly matching the patterns at the edges of Luna's form.
As Liujin's flames erupted from his palm, enveloping the Ice Crystal Pendant, the core of the Jade Pendant unexpectedly revealed a Micro Star Map, with a flickering red dot pointing towards the East Wing's Father's Study.
"Father is at White Rose Manor tonight." The second young master suddenly spoke, his purification dagger spinning in hand reflecting the black mist seeping from the wall tiles' gap. "But the Hyacinth Sprite raised in the West Tower said that three Outer Domain Gold coins appeared in the hidden compartment of Father's bookshelf this morning."
Luna suddenly began to cough violently, golden bubbles bursting in mid-air and transforming into tiny light spots that disappeared into the West Wall's lineage diagram.
The Healing Array, originally covered in bloody handprints, suddenly reversed, revealing the contours of a Teleportation Circle hidden beneath.
The Young Master maneuvered his wheelchair over the ground scattered with starlight, and his incomplete left leg briefly solidified into Xu Ying: "It's a Bloodline passage directly leading to the Northern Territory. Luna is helping us..."
"Third Brother's shadow travel technique combined with this can save us two days' journey." Qin Si suddenly pulled a glowing Bone Flute from the ashes of the fireplace, and the notes he played harmonized with Luna's loud cry.
The moment Lucius grasped the Bone Flute, all shadows in the library began to flow, coalescing beneath his feet into a Star Trail leading to a secret passage to the Stable.
Aelia lifted her daughter high, watching as Luna's form reflected Lucius and Mei Xin's image of the Bing Yuan Snow Wolf totem: "Dawn must pass through Black Pine Forest. When Shuang Yue overlaps..."
"The shadows will consume all Tracking Spells." Lucius caught a Sapphire that suddenly shot from the altar, discovering that its core sealed fragments of Father's memories—twenty-year-old Leonard pouring some Purple Potion into a Wedding Wine Jug.
He squeezed his eyes shut tightly. As he turned around, the cloak woven from shadows swept over Luna's head, leaving behind a strand of hair entwined with Liujin's Dark Purple Flame.
Luna grabbed that strand of hair and stuffed it into her mouth, as Luna's sudden burst of Strong Light startled a Night Owl resting outside the window.
As everyone's attention was drawn to the flapping sound of the Raptor, the infant quietly pressed her saliva-soaked black hair into the crack of the altar—Lucius's every move for the next three days would be concealed by the Confusion Spell, transforming him into an illusion amidst the violent Wind and Snow.
At this moment in White Rose Manor, Leonard was gently caressing the slightly rounded belly of the Red-Haired Woman.
The dark purple magic flowing from his Fingertip danced around the Counter-Contract Spell, yet he remained unaware that the Golden Light Spots of the Contract Core were slowly multiplying.
Outside the window, the flowerbed planted with Black Mandrake suddenly stirred without wind, all the flower buds turning towards the direction of Magic Castle, blooming with blood-eye patterns.
"My lord, the Ice Crystal brought by the Northern Merchants..." The butler approached with a black box inlaid with moonstone, but as Han Qi touched Leonard's sleeve, it strangely evaporated into mist.
As Lord frowned and flicked open the Box Lid, a strand of Lustrous Golden Flame suddenly leaped from the surface of the Ice Crystal, scorching a snowflake-shaped Scorch Mark on his Hand Back.
Leonard sneered as he extinguished the Dark Purple Flame, yet he failed to notice that the Family Tree Diagram sealed within the Study Room Secret Compartment was beginning to crack.
The Silver Moon Emblem representing the matriarch oozed a Pale Golden Liquid, slowly eroding the newly drawn Serpent Emblem below.
Meanwhile, in the Castle Cellar, the Dragon Blood Wine aged within the Oak Barrel was beginning to show tiny Golden Spots.
As the first rays of morning light penetrated through the Stained Glass, Luna curled up in Aelia's arms, sleeping soundly.
Within Luna's residual Red Glow, a certain deadly turning point recorded in ancient texts faintly floated—on that night when the Waxing Crescent Moon was stained with blood, the Snow Wolf King that should have appeared at Ice Abyss Altar was now opening a third eye flowing with Jin Mang in her dream.
