The Crystal Chandelier swayed gently in the Blue Light of the Contract Magic Circle, and Aelia's Silver Spoon clattered onto the Silver Tea Tray inlaid with Star Moon Stones.
She stumbled against the Gilded Column, her gaze fixed on her husband's inner shirt, where the reflective Magic Castle Emblem gleamed—an emblem stitched from Moonlight Silk, which should have only existed on her meticulously crafted Head of Household Attire.
"You said the Magic Castle never betrays." Her trembling fingertip traced the air above the Burning diagram, where Leonard's Emblem was fading to a grayish hue. "Fifteen years ago, during the Full Moon Festival, you cut your palm and let your blood drip into the Contracted Holy Grail..."
Luna sighed silently in Qin Si's arms, the baby's pupil reflecting Aelia's Guardian Spell that flickered around her neck.
This lady likely did not know that Leonard had passed the Blood Oath test thanks to the Soul Exchange Technique provided by the Outsider Family—those spells that were supposed to protect their marriage were now twisting beneath Aelia's skin into thorn-like shapes.
"Does Father not care to explain the Crimson Contract?" Lucius tossed out a parchment that had flown from the Dark Compartment. The yellowed Contract suddenly unfurled into a Magical Projection upon hitting the Relief.
In Leonard's Last Night, he was dividing three water Crystal Veins of the Magic Castle in the Eastern Realm to Mistress's family, his Amethyst Ring refracting eerie patterns under the moonlight.
The sound of gears turning suddenly came from his elder brother's Wheelchair as his deformed right hand pressed against the armrest's Transmission Array. "Last month, Father said the Eastern Mine Vein was exhausted; it turns out he gave the mining rights to the Morian Family." The Astrolabe hovering behind his Wheelchair projected a Mineral Transport Route Map, each Track piercing through the twelve reasons he once defended for Father.
"No wonder my Elemental Sprite always stirs when near the study." The Second Brother suddenly tore open his sleeve embroidered with Defensive Charm; a Burn Scar cursed by a close friend was glowing. "Father knows that the Morian Family excels at manipulating elemental creatures, right? Just last week they 'kindly' sent over treatment for my Snow Toad..."
Leonard abruptly raised his hand and shattered a sound shell on the wall, splintered Mother-of-Pearl shards cutting across his face: "The Magic Castle needs new allies! The Northern Black Sorcerer is eyeing us; do you think those outdated Defensive Formations will suffice...?"
"Do we need to rely on selling our mistress's dignity to forge alliances?" Brother San's Astrology Staff suddenly lit up, and within its Staff Tip embedded with a Prophecy Crystal emerged Leonard's Last Night of Aelia repairing the barrier alone.
He limped forward, pushing aside a Knight who tried to stop him, revealing a misaligned Star Trail Tattoo beneath his clothing. "While Mother nourished the barrier with her life essence Xing Hui, Father signed this Contract at Morian Manor. Do I need to demonstrate a retrospective of celestial phenomena?"
Taking advantage of this moment, Luna spat out a Luna, her Emerald Eyes fixed on Aelia's Guardian Spell beginning to redden.
Her fingers hidden in swaddling gently moved, and suddenly a Memory Crystal buried quietly in the fireplace Ashes rolled to everyone's feet—this was Leonard's Last Night extracted from Concubine Maid's memory, where Leonard kissed Mistress while her left hand rested on his neck at the Magic Castle Vital Node.
"So Father’s rose-scented neck is to prevent life mark alarms with a Love Potion?" Lucius kicked aside a steward attempting to destroy the crystal, allowing Leonard's Last Night Projection to freeze on Mistress’s fingertip glowing purple. "Should we ask the Pharmacists Association for verification?"
Aelia suddenly pressed down on Heart and took a step back, her embroidered Guardian Spell collar seeping with Light Gold blood.
The Symbiotic Incantation, planted with the wedding vows, sensed betrayal and began to peel away from her skin like melting Gold Thread.
Luna immediately let out a soul-piercing Screech, shattering the twelve Wall Lamps that were about to trigger a backlash spell.
"Mother!" The brothers exclaimed in unison.
The eldest, Wheelchair, unleashed a Defensive Shield that knocked aside Leonard's attempted Silencing Spell. Second Brother summoned water elements that ensnared Father as he tried to comfort his wife with his Palm. Lucius splashed his Manifestation Potion onto Aelia's increasingly transparent Fingertip, shouting, "Quick! Hold down her Fate Star Ring!"
As Qin Si rushed forward with Luna in his arms, the baby's Saliva dripped onto Aelia's crumbling Wedding Ring.
No one noticed the ancient runes flickering within that drop of liquid—etched by Luna's Soul Power as a Time-Space Delay Spell.
The chandelier suddenly began to spin counterclockwise, buying everyone three seconds to help Aelia onto the velvet-upholstered couch.
"Call for a physician! Bring all the Healing Crystals from the Astrology Tower!" Lucius shouted at the Knight, his voice trembling with urgency. The Blue Sapphire Necklace he had torn apart formed an emergency Guardian Array around Aelia.
The eldest brother's Astrolabe spun wildly in search of the stars corresponding to life, while Second Brother's water element transformed into Ice Mist, covering Mother’s feverish forehead.
In the chaos, Luna was placed beside the coffee table. She stared at Brother San's shirt where a disordered Star Trail was Emerging and used her saliva to draw the Star Chart Correction Formula on the Silk.
When Qin Si ran over crying to hold her, the baby unintentionally kicked over the Liuli Bottle containing the correction potion, spilling Violet liquid onto Brother San's Astrology Staff.
Qin Si's silver hair brushed against Luna's Luna as the maid knelt beside the couch holding the baby. By then, Aelia’s collar embroidered with Iris had already soaked through with Light Gold Bloodstain.
The liquid seeping from the Wedding Oath Spell crystallized into tiny ice shards upon contact with air, refracting the eerie light of the chandelier as it spun counterclockwise.
"Madam!" Qin Si trembled as he reached to press Aelia’s Wrist adorned with Xingyue Lingdang but recoiled in pain upon contact—what should have been cool Yin Ling now glowed Crimson, and the sealed Guardian Spirit within emitted a sharp wail.
Lucius tore off Leonard's Cloak embroidered with the Magic Castle Emblem and laid it on the ground. The thirty-six Magic Crystal Stones embedded in its hem automatically arranged themselves into an Emergency Array.
His fingers, stained with Manifestation Potion, brushed against Mother Pale's lips. Suddenly, he turned and shouted at the stunned Knight, "Bring me the Amethyst medical box from the top floor of the West Tower! Now!"
Luna gently kicked her legs in the swaddling, and the Memory Crystal hidden in the Silver Bracelet rolled down to Brother San's feet.
The Astrologer swept the corner of his robe, soaked in the correction potion, across the surface of the crystal. The projection of the Magic Castle ledger he had copied from Leonard's study exploded onto the wall.
The Knight, who was about to rush out the door, stumbled into the Emerging Betrayal List. The red-marked Contract for the Eastern Mine Vein was perfectly superimposed on his startled face.
"Save Mother first!" The wheelchair of his elder brother suddenly blocked the projection of the ledger, and the floating Astrolabe burst forth with blinding white light.
His mangled right hand struck against the armrest embedded with a Transmission Array. Twenty-three communication orbs flew toward different floors simultaneously. "Activate Level One Medical Protocol for Magic Castle! Notify all on-duty physicians to gather in the Main Hall with Light Healing Beasts!"
Leonard's attempt to approach was blocked by Second Brother's summoned Lucius' Water Barrier. The shimmering Ice Shard barriers revealed Leonard's Last Night, when Aelia had independently adjusted the Defensive Barrier for his birthday last year.
Second Brother's arm bore a Burn Scar that suddenly split open, oozing Hei Xue infused with Morian Family curses. "Father had better not move; there's Purple Lotus Powder on your shoe sole—" His bloodied fingertip flicked out a cluster of Dark Purple Flame, "—which will react violently with Mother Yao Pu's wilted Moonlight Grass."
In the chaos, no one noticed Luna drooling on the Silk.
Using her unique Chaotic Magic as a baby, she drew the core Formula of a Reversal Spell on Qin Si's sleeve.
As the physicians burst through the Gilded Gate, the infant suddenly giggled, her fist covered in correction potion "accidentally" striking Qin Si's Automatic Activation Emergency Array's Hand Back.
"Clear out!" Chief Physician Margaret swung her Snake Staff, and the Emerald Python coiled around its tip suddenly opened its mouth.
Twelve silver needles inscribed with Healing Runes shot from its forked tongue, precisely piercing Aelia's vital points.
The Apothecary behind quickly unfolded a folding workbench. Amidst the clattering of Crystal Vessels, three Liuli Bottles automatically began preparing a tonic.
Lucius gripped Mother's hand as it began to turn transparent when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Palm.
Looking down, he saw Aelia’s ring finger branding his skin with Wedding Ring patterns—her Heritage Mark seeking a temporary host. "Quickly sever the energy connection!" Chief Physician Margaret’s silver needles grazed past Lucius' Wrist, trailing a cluster of Blood Pearls. "Does Third Young Master Lucius want to be drained of his life force by the Wedding Oath Spell?"
Luna seized the opportunity to exhale a breath carrying the essence of Xing Hui.
Last night, the delay spell she had drawn with the fireplace ashes finally took effect. The chandelier cast a light spot that wove a pale blue net around Aelia's heart, barely catching the dissipating symbiotic incantation.
The Emerald Python suddenly reared up, and Chief Physician Margaret gasped as she stared at the energy diagram reflected in the snake's eye. "Madam's magic core is restructuring? This is not in line with the backlash from the wedding vow..."
"It's Luna!" Qin Si suddenly pointed at the infant's golden-hued pupils.
Only then did everyone notice that deep within the baby girl's emerald-colored eyes, a complex magical array of Great Mage level was faintly emerging.
With every movement of her unaware little hands through the air, faint runes lit up around Aelia, correcting the light spots.
Chief Physician Margaret's silver needle hovered in midair as she signaled her assistant to open the arcane hourglass. "The time echo device indicates that three minutes ago, an external magical force intervened. Although its intensity is only one ten-thousandth of its peak..." She suddenly turned to glare at Luna. "But it definitely carries the aura of an Ancient Guardian."
As the seventeenth healing crystal shattered beside Aelia's pillow, the diagnostic report floating in the air finally emerged with green runes.
Chief Physician Margaret wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and announced, "Madam is temporarily out of danger, but the magical void caused by the stripping of the Wedding Oath Spell..."
Her unfinished words were interrupted by a sudden gust of night wind.
Luna squinted at the shattered colored window and noticed a feather bearing the Morian Family emblem circling above the roof.
The crystal baby bottle that the infant had deliberately knocked over rolled along the carpet to Second Brother's feet, soaking his pant leg with milky white liquid—also automatically activating his long-overdue tracking spell.
"Father, why don't you explain this?" Second Brother suddenly crushed the emerging purple runes on his pant leg, causing countless light spots to form in midair, depicting Leonard in a secret conversation with the Morian Clan Leader during Leonard's last night.
Eldest Brother's astrolabe synchronized to project a magic flow diagram, showing that energy barriers meant for defending the Northern Territory were continuously being funneled to foreign tribes through the Eastern Mine Vein.
Amidst the gradually calming chaos, Luna watched Aelia's trembling eyelashes.
When Chief Physician Margaret announced the need for rest, the infant let out a loud cry, and the sound wave knocked down a memory-erasing scroll that had been flying toward the study—Leonard's last struggle.
Aelia opened her eyes as the morning mist flowed into the colored window, her fingertip brushing against the Magic Fortress Key hidden beneath the velvet soft cushion.
The silk pillowcase, soaked with tears during her unconsciousness last night, had been replaced with ice silkworm silk fabric. The maids moved quietly, their hushed whispers revealing fragments of conversation: "The contract fragments from the Eastern Mine Vein... I heard the Chief Guard went to Morian Manor overnight..."
"Does Mother need Cedar Essential Oil?" Lucius's voice came from behind the intricately carved screen, his fingers wrapped around a medicine bowl, entangled with a hemostatic bandage—the price of forcibly severing the Master's Mark backlash.
Aelia stared at the Magic Castle Ledger Crystal handed to her by Eldest Son, suddenly sitting up straight on the soft couch. The faded Guardian Spell rippled at her collarbone.
"Summon the Twelve Elder Mages." She pressed the Key against the surface of the Account Crystal, and suddenly, dense magic marks emerged on what had been a blank page. "Notify the Northern Twelve Watchtowers; from today onward, all Material Allocation requires a double Secret Order." As she issued her hoarse command, a goose quill hovering in midair began to automatically transcribe the Emergency Plan, with star sand mixed in the ink shimmering in warning red light on the parchment.
Luna kicked off her swaddling blanket embroidered with an astrology chart in her cradle, her emerald eyes reflecting Aelia's newly sprouted white hair at her temples.
The lady was using her damaged Magic Core to drive the Gaze of the Eye—seven crystal spheres floated around her, each displaying real-time images of critical areas such as the Magic Castle Treasury, Barrier Nexus, and Secret Archive Room during Leonard's Last Night.
As Leonard's Last Night swept across the Eastern Mine Vein Transportation Walkway, Luna suddenly made a vague sound, her drool-covered fist "coincidentally" striking the surface of a crystal sphere displaying the Outside Concubine Family Crest.
"The Transport Team Emblem has a problem!" Brother San's Astrology Staff suddenly buzzed. He limped forward to the crystal sphere. "The Morian Family Emblem has an extra ring of dark pattern around its edge—that's the mark of the Black Market Merchant Group that was eradicated thirty years ago!" The misaligned Star Trail Tattoo beneath his clothing glowed suddenly, projecting an overlapping Magic Spectrum Analysis Chart onto Leonard's Last Night in Gaze of the Eye.
Aelia's silver spoon struck against the edge of a ceramic cup with a crisp sound, awakening the Contract Spirit sleeping in the tea saucer: "Retrieve all Magic Crystal Stone Purity Testing Reports related to the Morian Family from the past five years." As the spirit unfolded a translucent Contract Scroll, everyone noticed that each batch of ore acceptance signatures bore subtle magical fractures—precisely what Leonard excelled at with his Mirror Signature Technique.
"No wonder there were abnormalities in last month's West Tower Defensive Formation." Eldest Brother's wheelchair rolled over uncleaned mother-of-pearl fragments on the floor. The floating astrolabe magnified Leonard's Last Night on Transportation Walkway tenfold. "The protective talisman used by worker Leonard was made with inferior magic crystal powder." His damaged right hand suddenly pressed against the Transmission Array. "Immediately freeze warehouses three and seven!"
Seizing this opportunity, Luna grabbed hold of a sleep charm toy hanging from the cradle. The infant's chaotic magic fluctuation caused the charm to unexpectedly display an Inverse Analysis Diagram.
Qin Si, who was fastening Aelia's cloak, suddenly paused. "Madam, why is there a Rune Structure from Memory Manipulation Technique mixed into this Sleep Spell?"
The entire hall fell silent.
Lucius crushed a medicine bottle, purple smoke rising and forming an image of Leonard inspecting the nursery last week during Leonard's Last Night.
His newly replaced emerald pendant at his waist now clearly revealed Morian Family’s unique Serpent Buckle within Time Reversal Magic.
"Father won't even spare the nursery..." Second Brother's burn scar suddenly oozed frost, and the water element he summoned crystallized in mid-air into a Northern Territory Map. "Wait!
If the Memory Manipulation Technique requires continuous casting, then the Magic Castle must be hiding..."
His words were interrupted by a sudden commotion in the courtyard.
The Chief Guard burst through the Gilded Gate, his cloak still dusted with the unique red iron ore from the Eastern Realm. "We discovered twenty-two Puppet Coffins in Morian Manor's Cellar!
All the Puppets bear the likeness of Servants from the Magic Castle!" He threw a Memory Crystal, which clearly displayed Leonard's Mistress adjusting a Puppet that bore a striking resemblance to Aelia.
Aelia's Wedding Ring Fragment suddenly levitated from its jewelry box, assembling into a fragmented Magic Circuit diagram before her eyes.
As the third fragment clicked into place, the Blueprint revealed a hidden Node within the underground Water System of the Magic Castle—precisely the defensive structure they had designed together twenty years ago during their wedding.
"Prepare the breach pick and the Mirror of Truth." Aelia severed the fading Guardian Spell around her neck, wrapping the remaining Gold Thread around Lucius's wrist. "Take two teams of Shadow Mages to inspect the Siphon Device at the third reservoir." She turned to Luna, who was gnawing on a Sleep Charm, and suddenly pressed the baby's small hand onto the main Account Crystal. "The inheritance certification for the Glorious Demon Fortress needs updating."
Luna's saliva spread strange ripples across the Crystal's surface, and the Soul Power hidden within her body quietly activated the underlying protocols of the certification system.
When the Crystal erupted with a brilliant Blue Light that only a Great Mage could trigger, a floating Goose Quill unexpectedly added a line of Ancient Incantation at the end of the Emergency Plan—this was the Betrayal Penalty Clause set by the First Generation Fortress Master for traitors.
