Deep within the Glorious Demon Fortress, where beauty concealed turbulent undercurrents, Luna's clear eyes burned with a determination that was anything but infantile.
Her chubby little hands clenched tightly, as if grasping the very Destiny of her entire family.
She understood that only by tearing away the facade of hypocrisy could this home, and her Brothers, escape the tragic fate dictated by the original story.
Leonard, this hypocritical Lord, was the root of all misfortune.
Luna resolved to expose his true nature.
She began to quietly accumulate her Magical Energy.
As a reincarnated Great Mage, she possessed talents and perceptions far beyond those of ordinary people.
She started to stealthily investigate Leonard’s movements, little by little.
The castle's Emerald Corridor seemed like a maze to outsiders, but to Luna, it unfolded like a flat map.
With her keen sensitivity to Magic Element, she could easily evade the guards, slipping through the shadows.
She “saw” Leonard flirting with a scantily clad woman in his study, the air thick with the sickly sweet scent of perfume and nauseating hypocrisy.
She “heard” him whispering to the Magic Water crystal late at night, his tone tender as if addressing a worldly treasure, yet it was not directed at his wife.
She even “smelled” a fragrance emanating from him that belonged to another woman, one who was not Aelia.
The memories of Leonard's Last Night pierced Luna's heart like sharp fragments.
She was seething with anger, wishing she could rush out and confront Leonard, pointing a finger at him and shouting.
But she knew she was still too weak; acting recklessly would only backfire.
She needed an ally, someone who could challenge Leonard's position.
Aelia, the Lady of the Fortress from the Glorious Demon Fortress, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
However, figuring out how to convey this information to Aelia became a dilemma.
She couldn't just go up to Aelia and awkwardly gesture, saying that her husband was cheating on her, could she?
Luna set her sights on Qin Si.
Qin Si was Aelia's most trusted maid and the only one who could freely enter her room.
Moreover, based on the original storyline, Qin Si was also an honest and kind person, worthy of trust.
On a sunny afternoon, Luna sneaked into Qin Si's room.
She deliberately knocked over the herbs that Qin Si was organizing to catch her attention.
“Oh dear, Young Miss, what brings you here? Be careful not to hurt yourself,” Qin Si quickly set aside her work and picked up Luna, gently patting her back.
Luna looked at Qin Si with a determined and serious expression.
She extended her small hand and pointed towards Leonard's study, then pointed to her own eyes, followed by her mouth. Finally, with all her strength, she clearly uttered a broken syllable: "Bad!"
Qin Si was taken aback.
She certainly did not understand what Luna was trying to express, but she could sense that Luna was very agitated, and it seemed to be related to the Lord.
"Young Miss, are you trying to say that the Master has done something bad?" Qin Si asked tentatively.
Luna nodded vigorously and repeated, "Bad! Bad!"
Qin Si's heart began to race.
She knew that Luna possessed extraordinary intelligence; perhaps she had indeed discovered something.
"Young Miss, please wait. I will inform the Madam right away." Qin Si did not dare to delay and quickly picked up Luna to find Aelia.
Aelia was in the garden trimming Hua Zhi, the sunlight casting a gentle glow on her face, making her appear particularly serene and graceful.
She wore a light purple Starry Gown, resembling a blooming violet—noble and elegant.
"Madam, Qin Si has something to report," Qin Si said respectfully as she approached Aelia.
"What is it?" Aelia set down the scissors in her hand, turned around, and smiled at Luna in Qin Si's arms. "Our Xiao Luna is here too; she is becoming more adorable by the day."
Qin Si took a deep breath, summoning her courage to speak. "Madam, Young Miss... she seems to have discovered some things about the Master."
Aelia's smile instantly froze.
She looked at Qin Si in confusion, then glanced at Luna, not understanding what she was trying to convey.
"Qin Si, what nonsense are you talking about? Luna is still so young; how could she know anything?" Aelia frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure.
"Madam, I know this sounds absurd, but Young Miss... she really is different," Qin Si hurriedly explained, recounting Luna's recent actions in detail to Aelia.
After listening, Aelia fell silent.
She lowered her gaze to the little girl in her arms, her expression complex and inscrutable.
She had been married to Leonard for many years, and they had always been affectionate towards each other.
Leonard was handsome and charming, always considerate of her.
She had always believed herself to be the happiest woman in the world.
But now, Qin Si was telling her that Luna had discovered Leonard's secret?
How could she believe that?
"Qin Si, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Leonard... he could never do anything to hurt me," Aelia's voice trembled slightly as she struggled to maintain a facade of calm, but the tide of unease surged within her.
“Madam, I do not wish for this to be true, but…” Qin Si paused, pulling out a piece of Si Pa from her bosom and handing it to Aelia. “I found this in the master’s study today. It has a strange scent on it.”
Aelia took the Si Pa and brought it to her nose, inhaling deeply. A rich, cloying fragrance filled her senses.
This was definitely not her usual perfume, nor was it the scent of any other woman in the castle.
Her face instantly turned pale.
“And…” Qin Si bit her lip and continued, “I also heard that the master has been going out late at night frequently, and each time he returns, he carries a faint scent of powder.”
Aelia's body began to tremble. She clutched the Si Pa tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Countless memories of Leonard's last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
Leonard’s gentle smile, his thoughtful care, sweet promises…
Could all of this be a lie?
“No… it can’t be… he wouldn’t betray me…” Aelia murmured, her voice growing softer as if she were trying to convince herself.
“Madam…” Qin Si looked at Aelia with concern, wanting to comfort her but unsure of what to say.
“Enough! Stop talking!” Aelia suddenly shouted, covering her ears and shaking her head in pain. “I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear anything!”
She abruptly stood up and hurled the Si Pa she held in hand onto the ground before turning and running back to her room.
Qin Si hurriedly picked up Luna and chased after her.
In the room, Aelia sat helplessly on the floor, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.
She could not accept this cruel reality.
She had always loved Leonard, seeing him as her husband, her lover, her soulmate.
But now, she realized that everything she had believed in was merely a beautiful lie.
Years of love, years of devotion, years of anticipation—all turned to dust in that moment.
"Why... why is this happening..." Aelia choked out, her voice filled with despair and pain.
Qin Si set Luna down gently and embraced Aelia, silently comforting her.
Luna looked at Aelia.
She wanted to comfort her, to tell her that everything would be alright.
But she was just a baby now; there was nothing she could do.
All she could do was pray silently, hoping that Aelia would find the strength to carry on and that this storm would pass quickly.
Suddenly, Aelia stopped crying.
She lifted her head, her gaze vacant as she stared ahead, as if she had lost all her soul.
“Qin Si…” she said softly, her voice hoarse and low.
“Madam, I am here,” Qin Si quickly replied.
“What do you think will happen to him if I die?” Aelia asked, her tone eerily calm.
Qin Si was startled and quickly said, “Madam, please don’t think like that! The Master… he just made a small mistake. There is still love between you; he will surely come back to his senses!”
Aelia shook her head. “He no longer loves me. Even if I die, he won’t feel anything.”
“That’s not true! That’s not true!” Qin Si shook her head desperately, unable to believe that the usually strong and optimistic Aelia would say such things.
“Madam, you still have Young Miss! Can you really bear to leave her behind?” Qin Si hurriedly brought Luna in front of Aelia, hoping to awaken her will to live.
Aelia looked at Luna and reached out, gently stroking Luna's hair, a hint of tenderness appearing on her face.
“Luna… my little Luna…” she murmured, “I’m sorry. It’s Mama’s fault for not being able to protect you.”
Just when Qin Si thought Aelia had changed her mind, she suddenly grasped Qin Si's hand with an extremely serious tone and said, “Qin Si, listen to me. If one day I really… truly am no longer here, you must take good care of Luna. You must protect her, do you understand?”
Qin Si's heart stopped in an instant.
She widened her eyes in terror, staring at Aelia, unable to utter a single word.
Aelia paid no attention to Qin Si's reaction; she simply held her hand tightly, as if entrusting her with something important.
"Promise me, Qin Si, promise me!" Aelia's voice grew increasingly urgent.
Qin Si knew she could no longer remain silent.
Taking a deep breath, she nodded vigorously. "I promise you, my lady. I will take good care of Young Miss, even if it costs me my life; I will protect her!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of relief appeared on Aelia's face.
She slowly closed her eyes, and her body began to relax.
The room fell into a profound silence.
Only Luna watched with her clear eyes, observing everything unfold.
She had no idea what would happen next, but she had to find a way to prevent this tragedy from occurring.
"Yi Ya..." Luna suddenly let out a faint call. She stretched out her small hand, pointing towards Aelia's closed door and then towards Leonard's study.
Qin Si was taken aback; she seemed to understand Luna's meaning.
"Young Miss, are you saying that the master is in the study?" Qin Si asked tentatively.
Luna nodded vigorously, her gaze firm and filled with hope.
A glimmer of hope ignited within Qin Si.
Perhaps she could seek out Leonard, perhaps she could persuade him to change his mind.
She gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Young Miss, you stay here with the lady. I will be back shortly," Qin Si said, gently placing Luna beside Aelia before turning and leaving the room.
She was headed to the study; she needed to ask Leonard what he truly intended to do!
She had to fight for the lady, for Young Miss, for the entire Glorious Demon Fortress, to seize that last shred of hope!
As Qin Si's figure disappeared through the door, Luna let out a faint call once more: "Yi Ya..."
It seemed she was saying: A good show is about to unfold...
