As Leonard tugged at the collar of Burning, Zhen Chan was just entering the Assembly Hall, cradling a swaddled Luna.
A Silver Spoon, coated in Honey crystals, slipped from the baby's grasp and clinked against the Moonstone Tiles, producing a clear Tremor.
"Father, please understand, Luna must be terribly hungry..." Aelia knelt on the Emerald Iris Pattern carpet, her Ailya's White Nails digging deep into the swaddle, stained with Balsam Juice.
As she bowed her head, a glint of dark light flashed from the Snake Pattern Silver Hairpin nestled in her Hair Bun; it was the "Apology Gift" sent by Leonard's Concubine three days ago.
Luna obediently spat out half a Purple Clover Leaf, her Golden Hair stuck with Maple Syrup just right to cover her left ear—where Moonstone Powder had been crushed by her Milk Tooth.
She felt the Magical Fluctuation emanating from Leonard's Sword at her Second Brother's waist. After Aelia gently patted her back for the third time, she finally coughed up the long-held Golden Bell beside her elder brother's Wheelchair.
"Mother, your Skirt is stained with Shadow Moss." Her elder brother suddenly spoke, his Pale fingers brushing against Luna's hair adorned with an Emerald Ribbon.
The Mage, who had long battled curses, knew best that the glowing Spores were drifting from Aelia's skirt hem embroidered with a High-Level Protective Spell.
Leonard paused in wiping away lip marks, his dark green Pupil reflecting the lingering Serpent Emblem outside the window.
When Qin Si knelt before them holding a torn piece of curtain, sparks suddenly erupted from the black Obsidian of Lord Leonard's Sword—an Oath Stone received from her Father during the marriage contract with Aelia twenty years ago.
"The Soul Devouring Hound going mad must have some reason." Brother San unexpectedly emerged from behind the Wedding Canopy, his Fingertip still smeared with half-mixed Magic Potion. "These mutated Lunar Hounds are most afraid of..."
His explanation was abruptly interrupted by Luna’s sudden coughing fit.
With a red face, she flailed her arms like a Milk Dumpling, and a half piece of Snake Pattern Silk hidden in her Palm inadvertently floated into the fireplace.
As the Emerald Flame surged up, all Shadow Magic Artifacts in the Assembly Hall let out a simultaneous wail.
Aelia suddenly crawled two steps forward, her Skirt stained with Ye Lu dragging across the Ground and leaving a winding trail: "It was indeed my oversight that Luna snatched food, but we changed three batches of staff in the kitchen last month..." She choked just right, revealing her Neck where the Guardian Necklace had been torn by a Lunar Hound—one that should have been filled with magic three days ago.
Leonard's sword hilt struck heavily against the Bronze Candlestick.
With a clang, Zhu Lei was enveloped in the golden lacquer that had flowed down from the wedding banquet ten years ago.
He bent down to help his wife, but was suddenly kicked in the waist by Luna's outstretched foot, causing the Deerskin Bag containing the Extramarital Token to roll out into everyone's view.
"Father!" The elder brother's wheelchair abruptly intruded, crushing the Deerskin Bag under its enchanted silver wheels.
The face, long shrouded in illness, flushed with color: "Luna's Healing Magic seems to soothe the mutated beasts. Just now, the Soul Devouring Hound..."
Before he could finish, a sound like shattering glass echoed from the Southwest Tower.
Lucius burst in, holding a half-eaten Teething Biscuit smeared with cream, with Hair Tips still dusted with thyme from the little kitchen: "The black mist seeping from the Barrier Rift dissipates when it touches these biscuit crumbs!"
All eyes instantly turned to the corner of Luna's mouth.
At that moment, Milk Dumpling let out a soft "Yi Ya," her little hand covered in honey patting Aelia's tear-streaked Luna. Gold Dust quietly seeped into Mother's Leonard's Wedding Ring, which had been worn for eighteen years.
Leonard suddenly knelt on one knee, his sword tracing a dark arc of flowing fire against the ground.
As he grasped his wife's trembling fingertip, his palm—long accustomed to Leonard's Shadow Crystal—was unexpectedly scorched by the Wedding Ring, leaving a Qing Yan mark: "Tomorrow, have the Alchemist recheck all Ingredients in the kitchen."
When Father approached, Luna suddenly tugged at his cascading silver hair, and the Moonlight Grass seed hidden under her tongue slid into his collar.
At the moment Lord frowned from the sting, the Council Chamber Dome unexpectedly released Xing Hui—the Astrology Platform, shrouded in shadow for half a month, began to operate once more.
"Luna will stay with me tonight." The elder brother abruptly turned his wheelchair and cradled the baby in his arms, which were draped in Snow Ferret Fur.
Leonard's cursed gloves brushed against Milk Dumpling's nape; they trembled slightly upon touching a hidden Magic Brand: "She needs to soak in Evening Primrose Essence."
Aelia leaned against Qin Si and slowly rose, her hairpin having transformed into an Ouroboros shape without her noticing.
As her skirt brushed against the embers of the fireplace, the unnoticed sheen of ashes quietly seeped into the gaps of the floor tiles, merging with the milk fragrance wafting from the kitchen.
Lucius toyed with the crumbs of a biscuit, retreating into the shadows, while fragments of the emerald curtain curled into a ring at his boots.
When Brother San's magic potion bottle accidentally rolled off the edge of the table, a healing magic, tainted with baby drool, began to flow along the honeyed patterns, stealthily making its way toward the hidden chamber in the castle that imprisoned the truth.
The crystal chandelier suddenly dimmed as Shan Na, clutching her brother's moonstone necklace, burst into tears. The little feet suspended in mid-air precisely kicked against the wheelchair in the dark compartment.
At the moment when the copper box, holding their mother's eighteen-year-old secret, was about to spring open, Leonard's sword emitted an alarm akin to Longyin—
Luna's cries spiraled within the dome, forming a silver halo, while her little feet barely grazed the edge of the copper box.
The emerald ribbon suddenly snapped, and the swaddling cloth infused with cedar fragrance unfurled, revealing her left ear's crescent shape—Luna.
Leonard tightened his grip on the sword; the black obsidian embedded in its hilt reflected Luna's surface flowing with dark patterns—marks that only an heir of the Alvis family would bear.
"Get out of the way!" Lord swept aside Qin Si, who tried to intervene, as his dark cloak brushed against the half-melted ice crystal flower by the fireplace.
For years, Leonard's shadow ring had pressed against the baby's forehead, but upon touching her warm skin, it was repelled by some form of pure magic.
The twelve ancestral portraits hanging in the assembly hall trembled simultaneously, their frames crystallizing with a Chen Lu not seen for a century.
A loud explosion echoed from the Magic Healers Guild at the end of the corridor as seven healers wearing egret masks filed in.
The leading mage doctor’s staff tip touched Luna’s swaddling cloth just as a sudden surge of golden flame scorched it to a liuli color.
Brother San's magic potion bottle hidden in his sleeve suddenly boiled over, and indigo liquid reflected a hexagram formation deep within the baby's pupil.
"The integrity of the magic circuit... one hundred percent?" The mage doctor's trembling voice startled a night owl resting outside.
The Yin Sha floating in the Detection Array coalesced into an incredible sphere, enveloping Luna in a crescent-like Magic Radiance.
Suddenly, Second Brother's Leonard's Sword slid half an inch out of its sheath, its Sword Body and Inscription resonating with the Yin Sha, projecting a long-lost Holy Paladin Totem onto the Ground.
Aelia, dressed in Ye Lu's Skirt, silently glided past the edge of the Detection Array. The Balsam Juice-stained Ailya's White Nails gently tapped against the Crystal Staff. "Last month when we tested Lucius, it seemed like your instruments malfunctioned?" As she spoke, her Guardian Necklace suddenly lit up, incinerating a Detection Sprite that attempted to approach Luna into Qing Yan.
Leonard's Jian Feng swept through the dissipating Qing Yan, yet Shadow Magic etched an unexpected Leonard's Last Night onto the Ground—inside the Kitchen Storage Room, three children in servant attire surrounded Luna by a barrel of Honey.
Milk Dumpling clutched half a piece of rock candy, her crooked Lace hat smeared with Sugar Coating, while at her feet lay several lemon tarts with bite marks resembling crescent moons.
"It's a stray brought back by Master Lucius." Qin Si suddenly knelt at the edge of Leonard's Last Night, as Yin Shu fell from her hair and coincidentally covered a Child's Hem adorned with Serpent Embroidery. "They say... they say Young Miss even snatched food from the Elemental Sprite."
The Assembly Hall erupted with a chorus of coughs.
Brother San's Magic Potion Bottle rolled to Second Brother's feet, bursting Yao Wu transforming into an image of Luna chasing after Fire Sprite while holding a Crystal Baby Bottle.
The moonstone on Big Brother's Wheelchair Armrest suddenly shattered, sending splinters flying and casting a clearer scene on the wall—Milk Dumpling riding on Lucius's shoulder, poking at Water Sprite's bubbles with her jam-covered fingers.
"She stole three children's Teething Biscuits." Second Brother's Jian Sui moved without wind, the bells tied to its end recreating the childish words from that time. "But those biscuits were mixed with bitter wormwood juice from Shadow Marsh." Leonard's Sword suddenly pointed towards the curled remnants of curtains by the fireplace, faintly revealing a Family Crest with bite marks.
Aelia's Snake Pattern Silver Hairpin emitted a shriek; as it released a message, twisted Magic Patterns emerged from the Milk Fragrance wafting in from the kitchen.
The Mage Doctor’s Staff Tip’s Amethyst began to flicker wildly, projecting a shocking Ingredient Testing Report onto the wall—Hot Goat Milk meant for Children was mixed with diluted Drowsiness Potion, and Teething Biscuits concealed Gray Scale Powder that could numb the tongue.
"After cracks appeared in the Castle Barrier last month, Thyme from the kitchen started smelling of black mist." Lucius suddenly tossed half a biscuit from the shadows; fragments wrapped in Emerald Curtain rolled out onto the ground leaving Scorch Marks. "But Little Monster... cough, Luna’s saliva can crystallize this filth."
As if to confirm his words, Luna suddenly grasped Big Brother’s collar and buried her face covered in Gold Dust into his chest.
The Snow Ferret Fur she touched unexpectedly shed years of Bloodstain, revealing ancient runes corroded by curses beneath.
Brother Pale's fingers tightened around the Wheelchair Armrest, and for the first time, the aura of illness that had long surrounded Mei Xin was illuminated by a rosy glow.
Leonard's Sword suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and from the gap in the Floor Tile, a Black Crystal seeped out, carrying with it a Milk Fragrance.
Lord bent down to pick it up but was struck on the chin by a punch thrown by Luna. The jade ribbon clutched by Milk Dumpling shook loose fragments of Moonlight Grass, which should have withered in the shadows but were now wildly growing into a barrier, isolating the Black Crystal from the Magic Circle.
"Father!" Brother San exclaimed in rare panic as his half-prepared Magic Potion began to crystallize into Luna's silhouette. "The Lunar Hound from the Southwest Tower..."
Before he could finish, eighteen Silver Chains suddenly burst through the window, tethered to what should have been a ferocious Soul Devouring Hound.
Yet these mutated beasts curled up like kittens beside Luna's Wheelchair, one even carefully holding Milk Dumpling's fallen Soft Boots in its mouth.
The Mage Doctor trembled as he pointed to a newly formed Crescent Mark on one of the Lunar Hound's foreheads, identical to Luna's Luna on her ear.
Aelia's Guardian Necklace suddenly emitted a Qingyue Mingxiang, and the Family Crest embedded within projected a fantastical scene—food scraps bitten by Luna were spontaneously forming a Purification Array in the Cellar, while her overturned Honey Jar flowed along the Brick Gap, perfectly completing the ancient runes missing from the barrier.
Leonard raised his hand to touch the floating Projection, but his Fingertip froze as it passed through Xu Ying.
Lord's deep-set Pupil reflected an absurd scene from Leonard's Last Night: his little daughter was sitting atop Lucius's head, using her Magic Potion-smeared Little Feet to draw whiskers on the crying Lunar Hound.
Those teeth that had once torn through shadowy dragons were now carefully holding Milk Dumpling's Lei Silk Stockings.
The Crystal Chandelier’s Xing Hui flickered in and out of light at Luna’s Luna voice, while Milk Dumpling clutched half of a saliva-soaked Teething Biscuit, with traces of Detection Array’s Yin Sha still on the Emerald Color Swaddling Cloth.
The Star Map of the Council Chamber Dome suddenly twisted into a comical grimace as three children dressed in servant attire peeked out from the shadows of the spiral staircase.
"The Little Monster stole a biscuit and is still crying!" The Boy With Sky-High Braids pinched his nose and mimicked Luna’s burp, his sleeves adorned with Dark Pattern Serpent Embroidery shifting with his movements.
Behind him, Twin Sisters held up a lemon tart marked with moon Tooth Marks, sweet cream congealing into malicious shapes between their fingers. "Only those without mothers would lick honey off the floor!"
Luna suddenly stopped crying, her eyelashes trembling with flecks of Gold Dust.
She tilted her head, staring at the jagged lemon tart that had been bitten into. The small hand hidden in the swaddling cloth clenched tightly, unaware that it was these snacks mixed with Gray Scale Powder that had caused her to suffer from a backlash of magical energy, leaving her stomach in turmoil for the entire night.
Aelia's Guardian Necklace suddenly burst forth with a blinding Strong Light, causing the Mage Doctor's In Hand Detection Device to shatter into pieces, the Amethyst exploding with a loud crack.
Where Leonard swept his gaze, Ice Spikes adorned with Barbs suddenly rose at the feet of the children, only to bizarrely melt into Maple Syrup just as they were about to pierce through their satin shoes.
"Father said we mustn't use attack magic in the castle!" Luna exclaimed in a baby voice, startling the Lunar Hound dozing by the fireplace, its ears perked up in surprise.
She wiped her tears haphazardly, and the Healing Magic spilling from her palm transformed the Ice Spike and Maple Syrup into a Lollipop glimmering with Xing Hui.
The black Obsidian from Leonard's sword hilt suddenly rolled off and transformed into a shadow sprite holding a Crystal Pacifier upon hitting the ground.
Lord's usually gloomy Mei Yan rarely showed a smile; he flicked Luna's tilted lace hat with his fingers and remarked, "You're certainly more entertaining than your three brothers."
Chong Tian Bian Boy suddenly hurled the lemon tart at Luna, and as the cream splattered through the air, it bizarrely morphed into a snake's forked tongue.
Milk Dumpling instinctively opened her small mouth and began to suckle on the venom formed from Shadow Magic, producing a sizzling sound.
Emerald Flame erupted from her ear, burning the snake's tongue into smoke that carried a caramel scent.
"Monster!" The twins shouted in unison, their voices piercing through the stagnant air.
A Dark Purple Magic Pattern emerged on their necks, and their once innocent pupils were tainted with murky gray mist.
Luna suddenly clutched her stomach in pain; the Shadow Magic she had forcibly consumed was rampaging within her body, turning her pale face beet red.
Lucius's figure ghosted past the spiral staircase, remnants of Emerald Curtain wrapping around the three children as they tumbled together.
As he lifted the collar of the Chong Tian Bian Boy, the embroidered Sheen Pattern on the garment suddenly tore open, revealing a half piece of Almond Crisp imprinted with the Outer Chamber Emblem.
"The freshly baked Maple Syrup muffins are going to get cold," Brother San abruptly broke the tension, and a Fingertip Magic Potion in the air transformed into a steaming Dim Sum Tower.
He seemingly unintentionally kicked over the Detection Array's Yin Sha, causing the shimmering particles to immediately coalesce into Blood Arrows pointing towards the bulging pockets of the children.
At that moment, Luna's stomach let out a loud growl, drowning out the sound of the Shadow Crystal in the twins' pockets that resonated with Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum.
She pitifully counted on her fingers, "I snatched Lucius's rock candy in the morning, and in the afternoon, I nibbled on Brother San's Magic Potion spoon..." With each word she spoke, the flames in the fireplace leaped higher, illuminating the Assembly Hall as bright as Daylight.
Aelia suddenly cleared her throat, and the Sapphire of her Guardian Necklace reflected an astonishing Leonard's Last Night—Three Days Ago at Midnight. The three children were mixing Drowsiness Potion into Luna's Goat Milk Bottle.
At that moment, the Shadow Crystals rolling out of their pockets created a strange Resonance with the burnt smell wafting from the kitchen.
Leonard's Sword suddenly positioned itself between the children and Luna, and the Sword Body reflected Leonard's Last Night, causing everyone to hold their breath: a Milk Dumpling was curled up on the cold stone floor, struggling to gnaw at a moldy piece of black bread with its tiny Milk Tooth.
Meanwhile, three Children in Splendid Attire sat at a Long Table laden with delicacies, carelessly tossing roasted pigeon from a Golden Plate to a Soul Devouring Hound.
"The castle doesn't need wasteful food wasters," Lord's voice was colder than an Ice Blade from the Extreme North Land. With a flick of his Sword Tip, he swept all the snacks from the children's arms into the fireplace.
As the Emerald Flame engulfed the Shadow Crystal with a loud crackle, Luna suddenly reached out and grabbed Leonard's cloak at its Silver Buckle.
The Milk Dumpling looked up with tears in its eyes, its small nose dusted with Sugar Coating twitching: "I... I want that glowing Berry..." It gestured wildly, and Fingertip Gold Dust drew blurry patterns in the air—exactly like Aelia's Starlight Berry brewed by an elf specially invited by the Old Lord for her Eighteenth Birthday Banquet.
Lucius suddenly chuckled softly, inadvertently loosening his grip on the child's collar.
His Hair Tips of Thyme began to fall, taking root and sprouting white flowers that carried a hint of kitchen warmth upon touching the ground.
Seizing this opportunity, the three children broke free from their restraints but slipped and fell in all directions as they ran towards the spiral staircase due to the sudden appearance of Judgment Ice Steps.
"Tomorrow, have the Alchemy Workshop take stock of the inventory." Leonard suddenly turned around, the hilt of his sword striking lightly against Aelia's Crystal Staff.
As he bent down to pick up Luna, who was still sobbing, the cloak entwined with Shadow Magic was unexpectedly burned by Milk Dumpling's Tears, creating fine Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes. "We need to reassess the magical thresholds of all the Children."
Luna suddenly broke free from her Father's embrace and staggered toward the Soul Devouring Hound standing by the fireplace.
She buried her hot little face in the fluffy fur of the Lunar Hound, and her Ear and Crescent Moon Birthmark suddenly projected a starry illusion—an image of the Starlight Banquet that only the Heir of the ancient castle could unlock, with delicacies suspended in mid-air radiating an enticing glow.
Aelia's Snake Pattern Silver Hairpin emitted a Qingyue Mingxiang, causing the Star Map in the Council Chamber Dome to begin rotating slowly.
As the Mage Doctor shakily presented a new detection crystal, a long-silent Feast Bell echoed from deep within the castle, startling a flock of Night Owls resting on the Astrology Platform.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed against a Gilded Fork, its silver handle reflecting the shadow beneath her eyes.
The Crystal Chandelier, activated by the Magic Crystal Stone, spun with a Seven-Colored Halo, illuminating the Jade Soup Bowl at the center of the main table.
Luna squirmed restlessly in Qin Si's arms, her jade-like little hand suddenly grasping at the Iris flower tucked behind the maid's ear.
That magical flower, picked from the Forbidden Garden just last night, was now emitting faint vibrations in baby Luna's Palm.
"Madam, today's Snowy Feather Mountain Quail Soup..." The Delivery Maid's words were cut short as Luna let out an ear-splitting Loud Cry.
The Liuli Lantern containing mushroom cream soup shattered in response, its Indigo broth corroding the carpet into streaks of Qing Yan.
Leonard's wine glass in hand made a crisp sound as Dark Red wine flowed down the intricately carved Tablecloth.
Brother San's Silver Spoon clattered to the ground, Second Brother's Pupil suddenly constricting into a vertical line, while Eldest Brother's Wheelchair activated its Protective Spell automatically.
"Poison Shadow Mushroom?" Aelia's Ailya's White Nails dug deep into her Palm as Magic Patterns flickered at her sleeve.
She watched as the swirling poison mist on the ground was consumed by the barrier, finally understanding why the magic felt stagnant after every meal during these Three Months.
Luna's cries turned into sobs, and Rosy Cheeks burrowed into Mother’s embrace, tears glistening like Lacrima.
As the warm breath of the infant brushed against her neck, Aelia heard a whisper as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "The third Cook in the Western Side Hall, her apron smells of Purple Vetch Pollen."
When Lord rose, his cloak swept across the salt crystal candlestick, and the Hexagram Sealing Array emerged from the floor.
He raised his hand to freeze time and space, while Luna suddenly pointed at the end of the Long Table—there sat the brown-haired boy who had just been brought back to the estate last night.
"Father wants to perform fairness in front of his illegitimate child?" Aelia chuckled softly, her fingertip brushing over her daughter's hair where an Ice Crystal Hairpin had appeared unbeknownst to her.
That was the Frost Dragon Reverse Scale from her Dowry, sealed away for Twenty Years, now resonating with the magic within the infant.
Leonard's Healing Magic hung in midair as he watched his wife carry their daughter toward the Magic Array Eye.
Suddenly, Luna waved her arms like an Oujie and tossed Iris into the heart of the array.
The surveillance footage from the Forbidden Garden unfolded in midair, clearly showing Leonard's Last Night when a Concubine Maid buried a Curse Doll.
The screams from the dungeon were blocked by a magical barrier. Aelia lowered her head to kiss her daughter’s hair, which emitted a Milk Fragrance.
In her arms, Little One was grabbing at her Pearl Necklace, trying to shove it into her mouth, while Luna's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischievous delight.
