Luna's little legs were restlessly kicking in Aelia's arms, her big watery eyes darting around as if plotting something mischievous.
“Laughter…” she suddenly let out a series of giggles, her tiny finger pointing toward the window.
Aelia was amused by her antics and gently rubbed her little nose. “What is our little Luna thinking about now?”
Of course, Luna wasn't laughing for no reason; a grand play was unfolding in her mind.
“Leonard, oh Leonard, don’t blame this little butterfly for fluttering its wings,” she murmured to herself, a sly expression on her face that belied her age.
You see, in the original story, Aelia was betrayed and killed by that scoundrel Leonard and his Concubine!
Now that Luna had crossed over, she would never allow such a tragedy to repeat itself!
She intended to make Aelia see Leonard's true colors before it was too late and ensure that the scoundrel paid for his deeds!
“Mmm… ah…” Luna mumbled indistinctly, but her little finger stubbornly pointed toward the study.
At first, Aelia didn’t understand what she meant, but Luna persisted, pointing until Aelia began to question her own understanding.
“Do you want to go to the study?” Aelia asked tentatively.
Luna immediately nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling as if to say, “Hurry up!”
Though puzzled, Aelia carried Luna to the study.
Inside, Leonard's desk was piled high with documents, and the faint scent of ink filled the air.
Luna's gaze landed precisely on a letter titled "My Beloved Nightingale" on the desk.
"Um... this!" She stretched out her small hand with difficulty, trying to grasp the letter.
Aelia picked up the envelope, only to find it completely blank, with nothing written on it.
She looked at Luna in confusion. "Do you want to see this?"
Luna nodded vigorously, her little face turning crimson.
After a moment of hesitation, Aelia opened the envelope.
The contents of the letter were few, just a handful of lines, but they struck Aelia like a bolt of lightning.
"Meet at our usual place tonight. Don't forget to bring what I asked for." The signature was an ambiguous "My Beloved Nightingale"—"Love You, My Sweetheart."
Aelia's face instantly turned pale, her hands began to tremble, and the letter nearly slipped from her fingers.
Her mind went blank; years of love and trust seemed to dissolve into thin air in that moment.
She had always believed that she and Leonard were a match made in heaven, the most envied couple in the Magic Castle.
But now, a single letter had ruthlessly shattered all her fantasies.
"It can't be... it can't be true..." she murmured to herself, unwilling to accept the reality.
Luna watched Aelia's pained expression, feeling a twinge of discomfort herself.
However, she understood that enduring prolonged pain was worse than facing it head-on. It was better to confront the harsh reality early than to remain in ignorance and ultimately meet a tragic end.
“Leonard… how dare you betray me!” Aelia's voice suddenly turned sharp, the warmth and trust in her eyes vanishing without a trace, replaced by anger and disappointment.
She clutched the letter tightly, Ailya's White Nails nearly piercing her palm.
It felt as if the entire world had betrayed her; years of dedication and sincerity had gone to waste!
“Qin Si!” Aelia shouted towards the door, her voice tinged with a barely noticeable tremor.
Qin Si quickly entered, startled by Aelia's pale complexion. “Madam, what’s wrong?”
“Go, bring me Leonard!” Aelia's voice was as cold as ice.
Qin Si did not dare to hesitate and immediately turned to summon him.
Luna quietly observed everything.
Meanwhile, in the Magic Arena of Magic Castle, cheers and shouts rose higher and higher.
“Brother! Go for it! Brother! You’re the best!”
“Brother! Defeat him! Show him the power of Magic Castle!”
Standing in the center of the competition arena was Luna's older brother.
He held a magic wand, his expression focused, as powerful spells erupted from his wand, forcing his opponent to retreat step by step.
Who would have thought that just a few months ago, he was suffering greatly from a magic backlash and even considered giving up on magic altogether?
But everything changed since Luna appeared.
Using her knowledge of the storyline, Luna secretly prepared some potions for her brother, helping him alleviate the pain of the magic backlash.
Not only that, she also guided him on how to control his magical power to prevent another backlash from occurring.
When her brother was on the verge of giving up, it was Luna who gave him hope and helped him rediscover his love for magic.
And now, he finally stood at the pinnacle of the Magic Arena, becoming the pride of the entire Magic Castle!
“He won! Big Brother won!”
“That's amazing! Big Brother is incredible!”
The audience erupted into thunderous applause, everyone cheering for his victory.
With excitement, he raised his wand in hand, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
If it weren't for her, he might still be struggling in pain and would never have been able to stand here.
“Luna, thank you!” he silently said in his heart.
In another part of the Magic Castle, Brother Luna sat alone in his room, his brow furrowed.
His room was cluttered with various Ancient Grimoires and scrolls, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
He was studying a complex Magic Circle but could not find the key to solving the problem.
Months ago, he had been deceived by his most trusted friend and had fallen into a dangerous Magic Dilemma.
He had tried various methods to escape the predicament but found himself unable to break free, even contemplating giving up at one point.
Just when he was in despair, Luna appeared.
Luna told him she knew how to solve this Magic Dilemma.
At first, Second Brother did not believe her; he thought Luna was just a child and could not possibly understand such profound magic.
But Luna proved her abilities through her actions.
Not only did she identify the issues within the Magic Circle, but she also proposed several feasible Solutions.
Following Luna's suggestions step by step, Second Brother ultimately succeeded in finding the key to resolving the problem.
Although he had not completely escaped his predicament yet, he could already see the glimmer of hope on the horizon.
He believed that as long as he followed Luna's guidance, he would surely be able to overcome his predicament.
"Luna, you are truly my savior!" Second Brother exclaimed as he looked at the Magic Scroll in his hand, filled with anticipation for the future.
As night fell, the Magic Castle was enveloped in silence.
Aelia stood alone by the window, gazing at the night sky, her heart a whirlwind of emotions.
Everything that had happened today felt like a nightmare to her.
She couldn't believe that the husband she loved so deeply had betrayed her.
Unsure of what to do, she felt lost and helpless.
Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open.
Luna entered, wearing a pink nightgown, swaying slightly as she walked in.
"Um... Mama..." she murmured, rubbing her sleepy eyes and reaching out her little hand toward Aelia.
Seeing Luna brought warmth back to Aelia's heart, melting away the coldness within her.
She picked up Luna and held her tightly in her embrace.
"Luna, you are the only one whom Mama loves the most," she murmured, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Luna reached out her small hand and gently wiped away Aelia's tears.
"Mama, don't cry..." she comforted Aelia with her tender voice.
Aelia looked at Luna's innocent smile, and a warm current surged within her heart.
"Thank you, Luna," she said to her, her voice filled with gratitude.
Luna giggled and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Mama, it's time to sleep..." she mumbled, then nestled in Aelia's arms and fell into a deep slumber.
Aelia held Luna close, sitting quietly by the window until the sky began to brighten.
She made a decision, one that would change the entire Magic Castle's destiny.
"Leonard, since you have betrayed me, don't blame me for being ungracious!"
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in the room.
"Aelia, have you noticed that Brother San has been acting a bit strange lately?" Qin Si asked softly.
Aelia paused slightly, raising her head to look at Qin Si, her eyes filled with confusion. "Strange? In what way?"
Qin Si hesitated, as if there was something difficult to say.
Aelia watched her indecisiveness, feeling even more puzzled.
"Just say it outright; there's no need to beat around the bush," she urged.
Qin Si took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"I can't shake the feeling that Brother San is overly confident in his Magical Talent. It seems like... like he has already started neglecting his training!" Qin Si's words were like a stone thrown into Aelia's calm heart, sending ripples throughout.
Brother San, the child who had been hailed as a Magic Genius since childhood, had actually let his training slip?
How could this be possible!
Aelia couldn't believe her ears, but she had to admit that Qin Si's observation was not unfounded.
Recently, Brother San had indeed been acting strangely; he no longer showed the enthusiasm for magical practice that he once had and instead spent his days idling away in various entertainment venues.
Aelia felt a pang of heartache as she envisioned Brother San walking step by step toward ruin while she felt powerless to stop it.
She knew that all of this was due to Leonard's betrayal; it was Leonard's treachery that had destroyed their home and shattered the children's hopes for the future.
"Qin Si, you're right. Brother San has indeed changed," Aelia said, her voice low and hoarse, as if it were squeezed out from deep within her throat.
"I must find a way to help him; I can't let him destroy himself like this."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Magic Castle, Brother San sat alone in his room, holding a Grimoire, but unable to read a single word.
The words of Qin Si echoed in his mind. He knew Qin Si was right; he had indeed neglected his training.
“I’m such a fool!” Brother San slammed his fist on the table, producing a dull thud.
He felt overwhelming guilt and regret, having let down his family’s expectations and Luna’s support.
“I can’t go on like this!” Brother San suddenly stood up, determination shining in his eyes.
He walked over to the bookshelf, picked up a thick Grimoire, opened the first page, and began to study earnestly.
He knew he had to start anew; he needed to make amends for his past mistakes.
Luna seemed to sense Brother San's resolve. She quietly slipped into his room and placed a vial of potion on his desk.
“Brother San, this is a potion I prepared for you. It can help enhance your Magic Power.” Luna’s voice was clear and sweet, flowing like a refreshing spring into Brother San’s heart.
“I believe you can rise again and become a true Mage!”
Brother San looked at the potion on the table, filled with gratitude.
He knew that Luna had been silently supporting and encouraging him all along.
He picked up the potion and drank it in one gulp. A warm current instantly flowed through his body, and he felt his Magic Power rapidly increasing.
“Luna, thank you!” Brother San silently said to himself.
He knew he could not let Luna down; he had to work hard to cultivate his skills and become a powerful Mage to protect his family.
In the shadows of the corridor, Third Young Master Lucius of the Magic Castle quietly observed everything.
He had always known about Luna's uniqueness. This seemingly fragile little girl possessed extraordinary wisdom and strength.
He had witnessed how Luna changed the destinies of his older brother and Second Brother, and now he saw the transformation in Brother San.
Lucius felt a surge of admiration and anticipation as he watched Luna's departing figure. A determined light flickered in his eyes; he resolved to become Luna's most loyal follower, contributing his strength for her and the future of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Leonard returned to his study, irritably unbuttoning his collar.
When Qin Si came to call him, the hesitant look in her eyes set off alarm bells in his mind.
He forced himself to remain calm as he asked Aelia what had happened, but her cold gaze sent a shiver through him.
“Leonard, how do you explain this letter?” Aelia tossed the letter addressed to “Sweetheart” in front of him.
Feigning surprise, Leonard picked up the letter and quickly scanned its contents. His expression shifted slightly, but he soon regained his composure.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to appear nonchalant. “This… this must be someone framing me! Aelia, you have to believe me; my love for you is as clear as day!”
Aelia let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with mockery. “Leonard, at this point, do you still want to keep acting? Do you think I would still believe your lies?”
Leonard's heart was filled with panic; he never expected Aelia to be so resolute.
He forced himself to remain calm, wanting to explain further, but Aelia no longer gave him the chance.
“Leonard, it’s over between us,” Aelia's voice was cold and merciless, as if pronouncing Leonard's death sentence.
“From today on, you are no longer the Lord of Glorious Demon Fortress. Everything you have will be stripped away!”
Leonard's face instantly turned pale; he felt as if his world was collapsing.
He wanted to resist, to salvage what remained.
As night deepened, the Magic Castle fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
A shadow silently slipped into the Magic Castle, making its way to the servants' quarters.
Suddenly, one servant awoke, clutching his chest and groaning in pain, “What’s happening… my body…”
Another servant rubbed his eyes and sleepily asked, “What’s wrong? It’s the middle of the night…” Before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed abruptly, and he doubled over in agony.
The shadow let out a chilling laugh, “It seems everything is proceeding according to plan…”
