The morning light flowed over the fragments of the Magic Crystal on the Colored Window, and Aelia collapsed into the Peacock Blue Velvet Chair, her fingertips nearly digging into the Golden Handrail.
The images surging from the Contract Magic Pattern continued to burn into her retina—vivid violets from Luna in the Amethyst Cave, unmistakably the same flower Leonard had tucked behind her ear last year when he said he would go to the Extreme North Land to gather herbs.
"Aelia, this is merely an illusion caused by the chaos of the Magic Pattern," Leonard said, placing his hand on his wife's trembling shoulder. The shards of Purple Firestone from the inside of Leonard's Cloak fell softly onto the Persian Carpet.
Suddenly, a strange Zi Mang flickered around the Thunder Serpent Emblem wrapped around his wrist, a restriction triggered only by liars.
Luna kicked her small feet, wrapped in Pearl Socks, against Qin Si’s embrace, and the Crystal Bell chimed with Qingyue Mingxiang.
The Elemental River suddenly appeared in the Dome, and the Demon Seed's Residual Shadow, strangled last night, reformed in the waves, aligning eerily with the Family Crest pattern on Leonard's cuff.
Brother San’s Palm Water Mirror Technique uncontrollably reflected Leonard's Last Night in the cavern: on the rock wall, Dragon Blood was inscribed with "Dedicated to my Unborn Child," and the Tiny Inscriptions were clearly written in Leonard's hand when he penned love letters to Aelia before his Expedition.
"Mother!" Lucius’s Night Owl perched on his shoulder suddenly spoke, releasing its beak from a hem embroidered with violets.
As the Fabric fell onto Aelia's lap, she caught a whiff of her husband’s most cherished Evening Primrose Incense—a secret potion permitted only for the Heir of the Lord.
Aelia's Star Moon Necklace around her neck suddenly exploded into Powder, and oaths from their wedding night twenty years ago transformed into Golden Runes suspended in midair: "By the stars as witness, I shall bear children only with Aelia in this life."
At that moment, the runes were being corroded by Violet Juice, revealing a hidden second line of Blood Text beneath: "Outside Child Also Enjoys Inheritance Rights."
"Father dares to tamper even with the Thunder Serpent Contract?" The elder brother’s Wheelchair rolled over shards of crystal scattered across the ground. His pale fingers gripped the Thunderstaff that Leonard had gifted him during last year's Ailya's Birthday Rune.
The Thunder Element Magic Core embedded in the Staff Tip suddenly erupted with purple lightning, rampaging through his shattered Meridian—it was not a Moonlight Stone capable of nourishing his Meridian but a Soul Crystal that would exacerbate backlash.
Luna suddenly let out a sob like a young beast, her Oujie-like arms pointing toward the Elemental River.
The Remains of the Emerald Bracelet were reassembling at the riverbed; Second Brother’s collar fluttered without wind, revealing an Azure Birthmark at his heart identical to that of the Demon Seed Embryo.
Brother San’s Water Mirror Technique abruptly changed direction, reflecting Leonard's Last Night when Second Brother's close friend visited last month and poured Emerald Powder into a teacup.
"So this so-called close friend was arranged by Father?" Second Brother staggered as he leaned against the Star Chart Base, watching as countless Emerald Fragments transformed into Ying Huo insects flying toward Leonard.
The Light Spots gathered around his Father, forming a protective barrier, clearly the initial stage of a top-level protective magic.
Leonard felt cold sweat bead on his forehead as his fingertips subtly moved to activate the Teleportation Scroll hidden in his sleeve.
However, the Night Owl had already snatched away his Space Ring, and the Memory Crystal in Lucius's hand continued to play: within the mine, the Outsider Woman's Amethyst necklace was the very heirloom Leonard claimed had been taken by a beast during Aelia's postpartum hemorrhage.
"Father, did you know that Mother Sheng Luna consumed Heart-Eating Grass for three whole months to protect the pregnancy?" Brother San suddenly lifted his left arm, revealing a gruesome scar hidden beneath the awakened Water System Magic Pattern—years ago, during Aelia's difficult labor, he had secretly transferred the curse that afflicted Mother’s body onto himself.
Aelia finally managed to let out a sob from her throat, the burning sensation of the Soul Contract spreading to her lower abdomen.
The dark injuries left from giving birth to four children flared up simultaneously as she looked at the Teleportation Magic array forming around Leonard and suddenly bit her tongue, spraying blood mist towards the Star Chart Device.
The twelve exploding Gem Fragments transformed into chains, firmly pinning the betrayer against the stone wall inscribed with the Family Oath.
Taking advantage of the moment, Luna seized Qin Si's Pearl Earrings and used them to fling the Magic Crystal Beast cub gnawing at the Cradle towards the Elemental River.
After consuming the remnants of emerald, the Little Beast suddenly expanded and burst into a shower of Light Rain—each Light Spot reflecting different scenes of Leonard meeting with Leonard's Concubine across various timelines.
As Leonard's Last Night progressed to where the Outsider Woman presented Leonard's Curse Doll to her unborn child, Second Brother let out a low roar like a cornered beast.
He grabbed an Emerald Fragment lying on the ground and dashed out of the hall, completely unaware that he was running toward his close friend's secluded misty forest.
Chen Feng rolled up the Magic Letter that had fallen from his sleeve, revealing its opening line: "Father wants me to teach you Puppet Technique," with Leonard's Private Seal bleeding at its signature.
The shattered Crystal Chandelier continued to shed Stardust, while Aelia's blood trickled along the grooves of the Star Chart Device, converging into runes of Mockery at Leonard's feet.
When Second Brother crashed through the Gilded Gate, the Magic Letter that had fallen from his sleeve was swept up by the wind and stuck to the Dome, perfectly aligned with Leonard's Last Night reflected in the Elemental River depicting his illegitimate child.
"Alger!" Brother San’s exclamation was drowned out by Night Owl’s screeching tear.
He saw Second Brother’s Emerald Birthmark absorbing moonlight; awakened Magical Talent transformed those Azure Patterns into vines that crazily grew along the relief in the porch, guiding him toward the misty forest.
Aelia struggled against Qin Si's thin shoulders, trying to rise, but the backlash of the Soul Contract forced her to spit out clots of blood laced with ice crystals.
The curse transferred to San Zi was awakening through Bloodline Resonance. She saw the Eldest Son in the wheelchair gripping the Thunderstaff, and the Staff Tip suddenly reflected Leonard's Last Night, showing the Outsider Woman feeding medicine to the illegitimate child.
"Mother, be careful!" Luna suddenly cried out, the remnants of the Emerald Bracelet's Magical Fluctuation stirring up a wave of energy.
Brother San instinctively opened a Water Elemental Barrier, only to find that what surged from his Palm was no longer a feeble Water Mist, but a vortex entwined with Ice Blades—those dormant talents from years of neglect were awakening amidst Family Turmoil.
Qin Si wiped an Ice Shard from his eyelashes and suddenly grasped Aelia's trembling hand. "Look at Second Brother's Luna!" Moonlight pierced through the Dome Crack and illuminated Second Brother's back, where Azure Patterns perfectly overlapped with the Star Chart Base and Forbidden Rune.
With each step he took toward the Misty Forest, Leonard's Star Chain dimmed further.
"We can't let him come into contact with the source of the curse!" The Eldest Brother turned his wheelchair, crushing the Purple Firestone scattered on the ground, as the Thunderstaff forcibly drew magic from his broken Meridian.
When Dazzling Lightning struck the Emerald Fragments at Second Brother's feet, those Crystals suddenly reformed into a mirror, reflecting a scene from ten years ago when Father had taught him to identify Poisonous Herbs—revealing that the Emerald Powder given by his dear friend had been swapped out by Leonard long ago.
Brother San's Ice Blade Vortex spiraled uncontrollably toward the Memory Frame. In the collision between water elements and Lei Guang at Shan Na, the Dome suddenly fell under Qicai Yu.
Every drop of rain encapsulated the truth collected by Luna through an Infant Perspective: Leonard had quietly reinforced the curse during each of Second Brother's Magic Surges, and those so-called healing potions had deepened Luna's connection with Forbidden Technique.
"Father... Father!" Second Brother suddenly collapsed into the courtyard's Rosebush, his Palm pressed against the Family Crest and Peacock Stone Tiles by Thorny Vines that had cut him.
The Emerald Birthmark absorbed his blood, projecting a massive Curse Array onto the Ground—the focal point was his Magic Mailbox where he sent letters to his dear friend every month.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Si sprinkled Starlight Stone Powder into Aelia's teacup but saw that the Thorn Pattern on her neck suddenly crawled up toward Luna.
As Aelia knocked over her teacup in pain, the spilled liquid ignited Azure Blue Flame on the Persian Carpet. Within the Dark Purple Flame emerged Lucius, recalling Leonard's Last Night when he encountered a Magic Trap during Outer Hunt.
"Third Young Master, be careful!" Qin Si shouted in alarm as Brother San's Ice Blade Vortex suddenly changed direction.
The water element wrapped around Luna’s Cradle and coalesced into a Magic Crystal Beast’s fur above Leonard’s head, forming a Judgment Mirror.
The night flashed through the mirror as he modified the Thunder Serpent Contract. The Outsider Woman was absorbing the Life Energy of the Lady of the Fortress with her Amethyst necklace.
Suddenly, his brother's staff let out a mournful cry, and the Soul Crystal revealed the truth of his disability—years ago, he had stumbled upon their Father drawing Curse Runes in a secret chamber. The so-called Magic Backlash was actually an illusion created by Leonard using Forbidden Technique.
The Evening Primrose carvings on the Wheelchair Armrest suddenly cracked, and the splintering wood precisely severed the Star Chain binding Leonard.
"Luna!" Aelia's voice rang out as the Teleportation Circle's light engulfed Leonard.
Yet, no one noticed a fragment of the Star Chain clinging to his Boot Sole, quietly absorbing the residual energy from the Judgment Mirror.
When the last crystal from the Dome fell, Brother San discovered his reflection in a puddle, presenting the form of a Great Mage.
He trembled as he touched the ripples; on the water's surface emerged a memory—when Mother had transferred the curse onto herself, secretly burying a Water Source Crystal in his swaddling. The Talent Misguidance of Twenty Years was merely a seal placed by Father on that Crystal.
As night deepened, no one noticed Lucius's Night Owl stealthily entering the dungeon.
It clutched a bloodstained Family Crest in its claws, its Amber Eyes reflecting a secret ritual taking place in the Outer Courtyard—deep within the Amethyst Cave, a boy resembling Leonard was placing a Curse Doll into an Ice Coffin engraved with Lucius's name.
When dawn's first light pierced through the shattered Colored Window, the Bloodstain on the Night Owl's feathers crystallized into Lucius's personal mark on the surface of the Star Chart Device.
As Aelia wiped the Star Moon Necklace Remains, she suddenly discovered a Micro Memory Crystal hidden within the powder—it projected a scene from Fifteen Years Ago when she had personally placed the Night Owl Collar around Lucius's neck. The violet Dark Pattern on the collar was seeping black mist.
Moonlight penetrated through the broken Dome, weaving spiderweb-like cracks across the scattered crystal Remains.
Lucius knelt on one knee, his Night Owl folding its Wing to rest on his bloodied Leonard's Pauldron. His Amber Eyes reflected the fading light of Father's vanished Teleportation Circle.
The boy's Fingertip brushed against Leonard's Sword's Starry Pattern; it was a gift forged by Aelia with Moonlight Vine for him on his thirteenth birthday. At that moment, Jian Qiao was exuding an icy Coldness.
"Guh—" The Night Owl suddenly let out a short cry as Amethyst Shards slipped from its claws and rolled to Luna's swaddling.
The infant Oujie-like arm reached out from Qin Si's embrace, her Palm glowing with a faint Emerald Glow.
The light spots twisted like mercury drawn by a magnet, tracing out the Ancient Demon Script that only a Great Mage could decipher—"Truth in the Dark Corridor."
Lucius's pupil shrank.
He remembered the heavily warded chamber where, during last year's Midsummer Night, he had seen Father hurriedly enter with the Amethyst Box.
As the Young Swordsman rose, Leonard's Sword clashed against his Chainmail, startling his elder brother in the corner who was gripping the Thunderstaff.
"Do you really believe in the Demon’s seduction?" His brother's thin hand bulged with veins, and the Soul Crystal atop the staff suddenly reflected Leonard's Last Night, showing an Outsider Woman feeding medicine to the illegitimate child.
The wheelchair rolled over crystal fragments with a harsh sound. "Back then, when Mother had a difficult labor, Father clearly..."
"Clearly knelt all night at the Stellar Altar praying?" Brother San's Water Mirror Vortex suddenly exploded in midair, crystallizing into Aelia’s pale face after childbirth.
Water elements wrapped around the swaddled Luna as she floated into the air. The birthmark on her neck, shaped like a star and moon, perfectly overlapped with the Magic Circle Mother had used to transfer the curse.
Luna suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, her tiny hand grasping Lucius’s sword hilt that hung down.
Emerald radiance climbed up the gold thread to the sword body, coalescing into a thorn-wrapped rose at the blade’s edge—exactly like the Aelia Family Crest.
In the gusts stirred by the Night Owl's wings, Lucius caught a whiff of Mother’s familiar Evening Primrose Scent wafting from Jian Qiao, while the talisman gifted by Father had long since decayed to dust.
"Third Young Master, be careful!" Qin Si's warning was shattered by the Magic Residue.
The bloody handprint left by Second Brother on the Star Chart Device suddenly seemed to come alive, crawling out vine-like patterns on the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna flicked an Emerald Fragment smeared with saliva toward the bloodstain. The collision unexpectedly erupted into Memory Fragments—Fifteen-Year-Old Lucius hiding behind armor, witnessing Father alter the Inheritance Contract using Dark Magic.
Aelia leaned weakly against the Star Chart Base; the thorn pattern of her neck had spread to her eye corner.
When she saw in the water mirror Lucius trembling behind the altar years ago, her blood-stained lips suddenly curled up: "My Night Owl... has ultimately chosen the right master."
Lucius felt Leonard's Sword suddenly become scorching hot, the hilt resonating with the Star-Moon Pattern as it connected with Luna.
As he knelt to receive the infant, feathers from the Night Owl fluttered down, forming a barrier around them that shielded them from prying eyes.
Luna's pupils rippled with an emerald hue, her chubby fingers tracing a three-dimensional map of the castle on his palm, a hidden passageway's entrance flickering near the Triple Helix Tower.
"In the inheritance clause modified by Father," the Young Swordsman said, wrapping his cloak around his sister, his voice as cold and hard as a tempered blade, "the San Zi's claim to inheritance comes after that of the illegitimate child." As he spoke, the sword tip intentionally yet unintentionally grazed a section of ground covered in Peacock Stone Tiles—where he had seen Leonard's Concubine's familiar leave a violet mark during last night's patrol.
Suddenly, Luna grasped the silver chain hanging from his chest, which held seven different types of Magic Cores.
When her saliva touched the surface of the Thunder Element Magic Core, the previously dull crystal erupted with purple lightning, projecting a structure map of the dark night Emerald Corridor into the void—seventeen guard posts, three weak points in the Magic Barriers, and a secret door that could only be opened with Night Owl feathers.
Aelia's cough interrupted the magical projection.
Lucius turned to see Mother writing on a parchment with a broken Star Moon Necklace, Qin Si tearfully sprinkling Starlight Stone Powder over the blood-stained Iris flowers.
As moonlight shifted to the thirteenth pane, Luna suddenly let out a sleepy yawn, her little head naturally resting in the hollow of the Young Swordsman's Leonard's Pauldron—perfectly cradling her milk-scented hair swirl.
The Night Owl suddenly screeched and darted toward the Northwest Tower, its wings shattering the moonlight like scattered silver coins.
Lucius gazed toward the spot where he had once discovered Father's secret, his palm slowly gliding over the wear marks at the mouth of Leonard's Sword—imprints left from countless frictions between Jian Qiao and the Bronze railing of the Spiral Staircase during seven years of night patrols.
