As the morning light filtered through the sheer curtains and fell upon the Crystal Cradle, Luna opened her Amber Eyes.
The lingering warmth within Luna reminded her of Leonard's Last Night—the Blood Crescent Moon under which the Snow Wolf King’s Third Eye, Jin Mang, mirrored the Golden Light Spots that had emerged in Leonard's Counter-Contract Spell.
“Milady, the Lord says he will inspect the Northern Territory trade routes today.” Qin Si trembled as she held Yin Shu's hand, the copper mirror reflecting Aelia's neck, still marked by bruises.
Last night, the Lord had suddenly declared they would sleep apart, and she had been injured by a Magic Lock.
Luna tightened her grip on the swaddling embroidered with Iris, feeling Aelia's chaotic Magic Fluctuation surrounding her.
In the Original, on this very morning, Aelia would mistakenly drink Rose Tea laced with Love Potion due to her disturbed mind, subsequently becoming a Puppet at the mercy of Leonard's Concubine.
“Yi Ya!” The infant suddenly grasped Aelia's cascading silver hair, and the Gold Thread that burst from her Fingertip wove illusions in the air.
It was an illustration from Volume Three: a Red-Haired Woman wearing a Matriarch Crown, her swollen abdomen marked by an Emerging Serpent Emblem.
Aelia's Dressing Mirror In Hand crashed to the ground, shattering into twelve pieces of moonlight. “It’s impossible…” she trembled as she touched the illusion of Leonard gently caressing Leonard's Concubine's Pregnant Belly. The Wedding Ring set with an Ice Spirit Stone was the very one she had placed on her husband’s finger during Ailya's Birthday Rune last year.
“Milady, be careful!” Qin Si hurried to clean up the shards but was stunned by Luna’s sudden Loud Cry.
The Contract Rune emerging around the infant resonated with the shattered Lens; each piece reflected different scenes—Deadly Nightshade at White Rose Manor, mist rising from the Moonstone Box, and Golden Spots swimming in the Dragon Blood Wine Barrel.
Aelia stumbled and fell onto the Peacock Velvet Couch as her Star Moon Necklace suddenly grew hot.
This was a talisman refined with Heart's Blood during Leonard’s proposal, yet now it burned against her skin.
When she tore open her collar, she discovered that the silver chain had turned dark purple, with half a Soul Serpent Egg curled within the crescent moon pendant.
“He raised Leonard's Concubine using a Twinborn Pact?” Aelia’s shrill voice startled an Azure Flame Bird resting outside; this magical creature known for its Eternal Loyalty suddenly surged toward the Cellar, crashing through stained glass that hadn’t shattered in three hundred years.
Luna seized the opportunity to press her small hand against Aelia's Heart, the golden threads seeping from her into Aelia's Meridian.
The Great Mage's seal within the Reincarnation Mark activated the True Word Spell in an instant, forcing all truths hidden by the Contract to surge forth.
Countless Memory Fragments exploded before Aelia: last year during Dong Lian, she had said she wanted to take Luna back to her family for a short stay; Leonard's sleeve stained with Black Mandala Pollen; last month during the Full Moon Festival, he had claimed he was going to suppress the Beast Tide at the border, yet there were traces of Rose Scented Balm on his neck; last night when he had roughly pushed her away, the Family Tree Diagram hidden in Ankeli was being eroded by golden liquid...
"Mother!" The Carved Wooden Door burst open with a magical force, and her elder brother, who sat in a Floating Wheelchair, rushed in.
He had intended to report on the disturbances in the Cellar but was taken aback by the sight of his sister's swaddled form suspended with the scene of their Father and Leonard's Concubine binding a Contract.
His face, often tinged blue from Magic Backlash, flushed crimson, and the Soulstone embedded in the Wheelchair Armrest cracked with ice-like fractures.
Aelia suddenly chuckled, and as she laughed, Blood Tears dripped onto Luna's Mei Xin. "No wonder he insisted on using your Golden Hair to make a talisman last month..." The birthmark on the infant's forehead suddenly revealed a Sealing Array Diagram, within which was locked Leonard's Prophetic Talent that had been stripped from Luna.
The Wheelchair let out a sudden screech as he reached out for the floating illusion. His incomplete Twin Legs erupted with astonishing strength. "When I experienced a Magic Surge last year, did Father mix Shedding Snake powder into my sedative?" He would never forget the pain of ice shards piercing his bones; looking back now, it was clearly a symptom of Contract Backlash.
Luna suddenly extended her small hand towards her Second Brother's residence, her Wrist Yin Ling moving without wind.
At that moment, a young man in the Alchemy Laboratory preparing potions accidentally knocked over a Crystal Bottle. He stared at the healing potion that had suddenly turned into Lustrous Gold—this was clearly the color of redemption he had dreamed of when his magic had dissipated three months ago due to believing his close friend's erroneous formula.
"Second Young Master!" Yao Tong looked in terror as Dragon Scales on the Experiment Table suddenly stood upright, all their scales turning towards the Lord of the city’s sleeping direction.
Meanwhile, the young man's Palm bore an Old Scar from Ailina's Burn, seeping out a golden Red Glow that shared its origin with Luna’s essence.
The Lustrous Gold potion flowed along the patterns of the Experiment Table like a winding stream as Second Brother dipped his fingertip into it and brought it close to his nose.
Three years ago, my dear friend Vincent presented me with a scroll, claiming it was a treasure unearthed from the ruins of the Ancient Elf. The so-called "Holy Light Healing Technique" now resonated strangely with the liquid shimmering before me.
"Second Young Master, these Dragon Scales..." Yao Tong's words were cut short as the young man suddenly crushed the Crystal Goblet in his hand.
The sharp shards sliced into his palm, yet what flowed out was a golden blood more radiant than any potion—similar to the golden threads seeping from Luna.
The Second Brother staggered, leaning against the Ink Jade Carved Pillar, as an old scar on his neck, left by Ailina's Burn, suddenly flared with heat.
This was a mark Vincent had left when he claimed he would help him test a new formula. At that moment, the Malachite floor unexpectedly reflected a distorted Star Map, and Aelia's suppressed sobbing penetrated through three floors, crashing down upon the young man's back.
The Second Brother looked down at the bloodstains on his palm and suddenly tore off the silver chain around his neck—within the hanging cross-shaped Jade Pendant, his father's Guardian Spell was cracking under pressure.
When the hidden door to the Underground Library burst open, Brother San was curled up in the Diamond Light Spot cast by the Enamel Colored Window.
He dropped the Elemental Resonance Theory book from his hand, and an Iris Centaurea specimen tucked between its yellowed pages shattered into powder.
Those Dark Elements, repeatedly emphasized by family mentors as "useless," now surged towards his trembling fingertips from all directions.
"Third Young Master!" The pursuing attendant recoiled in terror, watching as black mist enveloped the boy, coalescing into the form of a Demon Wolf.
Brother San looked up in confusion; after ten chaotic years, his Mind Sea was suddenly cleaved open by Luna's loud cry—during that talent test years ago, Leonard had pressed an Ice Blue crystal against his forehead, which was clearly a counterfeit mixed with illusion sand.
The Black Mist Demon Wolf suddenly threw back its head and howled, its claws shredding the Family Crest hanging on the wall.
Brother San stumbled towards Ankeli's long-sealed Magic Puppet; those Alchemical Constructs deemed "out of control" bore Leonard's seal etched into their cores.
Qin Si dipped the blood-stained Yin Shu into the Moonlight Grass Juice, and suddenly, the copper basin reflected the bulging pregnant belly of Leonard's Concubine.
The Maid abruptly overturned the water basin, but amidst the splashing water, she saw something even more terrifying—Leonard's Last Night. Seven years ago, when she arrived with Aelia's dowry, in the Lord's Study under the always-shrouded black silk lamp, Ankeli had clearly placed the Blood Pact stone that bound him to Leonard's Concubine.
"Madam, have a sip of Moonlight Mint Tea," Qin Si said as she turned around, her expression now resolute. She gathered Aelia's scattered silver hair into a thorn braid unique to battle priests.
When her fingers brushed against the dark purple Star Moon Necklace at Madam's collarbone, she suddenly pulled out a short blade encrusted with ice crystals from the bottom of the Makeup Box—this was a secret weapon hidden in the phoenix flower bouquet when Aelia's family sent her off to marry.
Luna's Yin Ling suddenly emitted a Qingyue Mingxiang, and the chubby fingers of the infant pointed at Qin Si's Mei Xin.
The Maid's pupils instantly filled with lustrous gold, and the short blade in her hand automatically disassembled and reformed into a Star Moon Emblem that shared its origin with Aelia's necklace.
A loud crash echoed from beneath the Peacock Stone Tiles as chains broke apart, awakening the Defensive Formation that had slept for three hundred years deep within the castle.
As twilight climbed up the East Tower, Lucius stood on the Astrology Platform adjusting a sextant.
The Lucius' Crystal Compass in his hand, which recorded the lifeblood of the Magic Castle, suddenly shattered, and the flying shards formed a bloody prophecy in the dusk.
As the last piece of crystal fell toward the cellar, Third Young Master Lucius felt his cuff embroidered with dark patterns ignite with an ice blue flame—this was a restriction planted in his bloodline by Father when he was forced to take a vow of silence ten years ago.
"Father..." Lucius gasped, clutching his heart as he staggered back, watching as the compass fragments cast horrific images of Leonard's Last Night on the floor-to-ceiling window.
The golden patterns swimming deep within the castle’s foundation were completely sourced from the light that nourished Leonard's Concubine in the Counter-Contract Spell.
He trembled as he reached for Leonard's Sword at his waist but found that wisteria entwined around Jian Qiao had suddenly bloomed into thorny black roses.
The evening breeze carried the final lament of the Azure Flame Bird. Lucius gazed at the golden pillar soaring from his master bedroom window, his fingers digging deeply into the marble windowsill.
The family crest shattered beneath his feet, and a liquid seeped from the crack, glimmering with the same serpent pattern found on Leonard's Concubine's pregnant belly.
Lucius's fingers traced blood marks on the cracking windowsill, as an Ice Blue Flame spread along the marble pattern, transforming into a Thorned Totem.
Suddenly, a three-dimensional projection of a magic castle emerged from the ground, reminiscent of three hundred years ago. The golden spots representing energy nodes were fading at an alarming rate—when the last light spot extinguished in the cellar, the forbidden flame at Third Young Master Lucius's cuff abruptly turned into a dark purple hue identical to that of Leonard's Concubine's sheen pattern.
"Father even the Earth Vein Contract..." The young noble's usual poised smile shattered completely. He tore open the collar of his silver-thread embroidered garment, revealing the Silent Oath Rune emerging beneath his collarbone, where a tiny golden serpent writhed.
Ten years ago, when Zhuo Tong was forced to drink the Contract Wine, his tongue suddenly awakened. The starlight floating in that cup of amber liquid turned out to be the severed Ley Line Energy from the magic castle.
A crisp sound of shattering crystal came from the master bedroom direction. Lucius turned abruptly and saw twelve rays piercing through the castle dome.
The ancient defensive runes trapped within the wall slithered like live serpents, piecing together the warning totem of the Great Mage in twilight—shaped precisely like Luna.
Aelia plunged her blood-stained Yin Shu into the peacock velvet couch. In the strong light emitted by the Star Moon Necklace, Qin Si's short blade in hand was reshaping into a key form.
As the blade tip touched the gap between floor tiles, the entire castle suddenly roared like a waking dragon.
"Mother, look here!" The eldest brother maneuvered his floating wheelchair to crash through an overturned Li Gui, and his incomplete twin legs burst forth with incredible agility.
He pointed at the floating magic castle structure diagram on the wall, where marks that originally belonged to Leonard were being replaced by Luna's pupil pattern woven with golden silk thread.
Luna's Yin Ling suddenly soared into the air as Ling She struck out with a seven-tiered scale.
The sealing array on the infant girl's forehead unfolded layer by layer, and her stripped prophetic talent transformed into light rain that fell gently.
When Second Brother burst through the door, he stumbled upon this astonishing scene. The golden blood on his palm suddenly vaporized into mist, coalescing in midair into a scene from three hundred years ago—the first generation fortress master's binding of the Earth Vein Contract. The sealing technique of that legendary mage was astonishingly identical to Luna's unaware chubby fingers swaying freely.
"Father is extracting energy by manipulation..." Brother San's raspy voice emerged from the shadows.
The Black Mist Demon Wolf surrounding the boy was tearing at some invisible substance. As Wolf Fang pierced the air, the entire East Wall suddenly became transparent, revealing a golden Serpent Pattern energy entity coiled within.
Ailya's silver hair moved without wind, and the moment the Star Moon Key was inserted into the ground, everyone heard the sound of chains breaking.
However, the anticipated Geomancy revival did not occur—the castle tilted abruptly by fifteen degrees, and the corpse of an Azure Flame Bird fell like rain outside, exploding into a bloody Zi Wu upon contact with the defensive Light Barrier.
"Luna!" Aelia cried out in panic, shielding the infant who nearly rolled off the soft couch, only to find that the baby was intently staring at a shattered mirror.
In that fragment reflecting White Rose Manor, Leonard's Concubine's pregnant belly suddenly opened its Shu Tong, resonating with the Golden Serpent in the Magic Fortress Leyline.
Lucius burst through the door as Shan Na, and a broken compass in his hand suddenly flew towards Luna.
When the infant's tears dripped onto the crack, a Crystal Fragment unexpectedly pieced together a brand new Prophecy Totem scene—on what once belonged to Leonard, the Castle Lord's Throne was entwined with thorny black roses and Iris.
"Father is forcibly extracting Ley Line Energy to sustain Leonard's Concubine." Third Young Master Lucius pulled open his collar to reveal a mutated Oath Rune, flames of restriction coalescing into an Energy Flow diagram on his palm. "When the last Core Energy is transferred to White Rose Manor..."
As if to confirm his words, Aelia's Star Moon Necklace suddenly emitted a crisp sound.
The crescent Zhui Zi hanging from the silver chain cracked open slightly, revealing half of a hatching Soul Serpent Egg inside. The dark purple shell shimmered with a luster identical to Leonard's Wedding Ring made of Ice Spirit Stone.
