In the midst of the suspended vibrations caused by the Ice Soul Pearl, Luna's swaddling was lifted at an angle by the airflow.
As Aelia's blood-stained skirt brushed against the shattered colorful tiles of the nursery, it met the serious gaze of the infant with emerald eyes—an expression that reminded her of twenty years ago, when she faced the violent wind and snow on Dragon Spine Snow Mountain, and the statue of the First Generation Castle Lord's Lady loomed over all.
"Mother, look at this." Luna pointed with her finger stained with blueberry juice, drawing crooked symbols beneath the inverted Cherry Wood Table.
The doodles she had made three days ago at the nursery's focal point were now burning golden grooves along the geomancy lines, perfectly forming the coordinates of Outer Chamber Manor recorded on page 317 of the Magic Castle Secret History.
Aelia's Dragonbone Wand suddenly erupted with ice crystals, and the Frost Flower conjured by Zhang Jian automatically arranged itself into a format resembling a Prophecy Poem.
This was a warning from the Moonstone Vein to the Lord's Bloodline. Twenty years ago, on their wedding night, Leonard had held her hand and taught her to recognize this ancient code.
"Xicheng District... Iris Lane..." Aelia deciphered the frost-laden iris word by word, as her diamond-studded armor scraped against the suspended Crystal Chandelier. "Three months ago, you mentioned going to the Northern Territory to suppress the Monster Tide—"
"This demon child has cast Illusion Magic!" Leonard shattered the ice layer that had formed around the Prophecy Poem, and the splintered ice reassembled in midair into a clearer image of Leonard's Last Night.
Luna grasped Aelia's cascading silver hair with her tiny hands, and at the end dampened by baby saliva appeared a Contract Magic Pattern—exactly what Leonard had tricked her into signing last month under an Official Document: the Geothermal Transfer Agreement.
The castle suddenly tilted another seven degrees. The blueberry juice that Luna had spilled three days ago now seeped into a stain at the wall’s base, spreading along the Brick Gap to form a Western Territory Map.
Aelia's Moonlight Crown cast a light spot on the ground, precisely illuminating the location marked as "Canary Pavilion."
That spot should have been the Magic Castle's Weapon Vault, but now it revealed a terrace entwined with wisteria through Magical Projection—along with a brown-haired woman holding an infant on the balcony.
"Explain." Aelia's magic Zhang Jian condensed into an Ice and Fire Dual-colored Vortex, causing all metallic utensils in the nursery to begin vibrating.
Seizing this opportunity, Luna used her saliva to draw a Detection Spell on the back of a suspended Silver Spoon. Twelve pieces of cutlery immediately arranged themselves into a circular Mirror Array, reflecting Leonard's neck where a Twin Lotus mark was gradually emerging—that was a Lover's Contract explicitly forbidden in Chapter Two of the Magic Castle Marriage Code.
Leonard’s urgent motion to shatter the Mirror Array was too hasty; his cufflinks embedded with black obsidian tore through Qin Si’s presented evidence scroll.
What spilled from the Tear in the parchment was not ink but rather his so-called "lost" Emerald Wedding Ring from last year—now adorning an Outsider Woman’s hand, shimmering with piercing green light in the Mirror Array’s residual shadow.
"I can explain..." The voice of the Lord was drowned out by the sudden intensification of the ground tremors. The oak bedpost that Luna had gnawed on last night suddenly cracked open, revealing the Twinborn Pact stone hidden within.
Ailya's silver hair stirred without wind, and the tips curled as half of the Contract Stone pressed into the ancient Contract emerging from the wall. The words "Betrayer" on the stone tablet instantly burned into a blood red.
Just as the Lord was about to grab his wife's wrist, an Alchemical Potion Bottle that Luna had deliberately knocked over rolled between them.
A faint purple smoke rose, forming an illusion of the headline from "Prophet's Daily" three months ago—Leonard, who should have been on the battlefield in the Northern Territory, was seen embracing Leonard's Concubine in front of the clock tower in the central square. His cloak, embroidered with canary yellow lining, stood in stark contrast to the moonstone embroidered within Aelia's wedding dress.
"Why is it canary?" Aelia suddenly chuckled, as ice crystals dropped from Zhang Jian's magic and spelled out their wedding vows on the ground.
From the floating castle exterior came a startled hum from a swarm of Crystal Butterflies; Luna knew it was her brother's Summoning Magic triggered by the Geomancy disturbances—three days ago, she had secretly placed a Resonance Crystal into her brother's wheelchair, which was now emitting waves only her second brother could decipher as the castle tilted.
When Geomancy trembled for the third time, the nursery's east wall collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Amidst the swirling dust, an image emerged from three years ago—a family portrait where Leonard was placing a wedding ring on Aelia’s finger. Under the illumination of moonstone, it revealed a translucent quality, exposing the hidden Twin Lotus Demon Mark beneath the skin.
Luna lunged toward the image, and a honey jar knocked over by a toppled baby carriage spilled right at its signature point, revealing that the date of their contract was actually half a month earlier than their wedding.
"Mother!" Suddenly, a shattering sound of a crystal bell echoed down the corridor. Luna squinted toward the source of the noise.
Three days ago, she had entangled Brother San in arranging Transmitting Vines at the echo wall; they were now growing wildly with each tremor of the earth vein. The emerald leaves emerged from her brother's wheelchair as it passed through the corridor, creating a unique magic ripple—seven arches remained until reaching the nursery.
From within the dust raised by the collapsing east wall came a clicking sound of gears meshing together. Luna narrowed her eyes at the dark compartment exposed behind the image—that was where she had repeatedly tapped with a Crystal Baby Bottle three days ago.
As her brother’s wheelchair rolled over shards of crystal into the nursery, the thorn vine coiled around the Bronze Hub suddenly burst forth with emerald fluorescence; this was due to Luna’s secretly applied Developing Potion finally taking effect under the Resonance Crystal's influence.
"Father, explain the date on the Blood Pact in that image!" Her brother's pale fingertip pinched a parchment that had popped out from his wheelchair. Luna recognized it as something she had stuck under her brother’s wheelchair last week while sneaking into his study—the record of "Magic Castle Wedding Ceremony."
The moonstone embedded in the wheelchair armrest resonated with Aelia's crown, projecting a holographic image of their wedding day into the air—Leonard was clearly wearing Mithril Gloves on his right hand while placing a ring on his bride.
Second Brother stumbled through the embroidered door curtain, the unhealed Magical Burn on his neck glowing with a Purple Light.
Luna noticed that the Astrolabe hanging from his Waist was spinning counterclockwise—this was a result of her deliberately knocking over the medicine cabinet last night, allowing the Second Brother, who had mistakenly ingested Ning Shen Cao, to temporarily gain resistance against Illusion Magic. "The Frost Amulet Father gave me last month..." Second Brother trembled as he tore off the necklace, and the Ice Crystal Pendant expanded into a half-human tall Ice Mirror upon hitting the ground, reflecting the same Amulet that hung in the Outsider Woman's Bedroom. "You said this is a Holy Relic that suppresses Black Magic!"
Leonard's veins bulged at his temples as he crushed the ice crystals scattered on the ground with his black Obsidian boots. "You actually believe this demon child's Illusion Magic?" He swung his cloak, summoning a crimson whirlwind, attempting to destroy the floating Contract Stone's Projection.
Brother San suddenly yanked Luna's oak Cradle from the pile of shattered tiles. The bed rail, scorched by Magic Flame, was now oozing a strange liquid made of Blueberry Juice and Alchemy potion Mix—just as it dripped onto the Track where Lord was casting magic.
"Father, be careful!" Brother San feigned surprise, but the sparks from his Fingertip accurately ignited the liquid.
The Azure Blue Flame spiraled back along the Magic Circuit, and the Lover's Contract talisman hidden in Leonard's sleeve materialized instantly.
Luna silently grinned in her swaddle—Three Days Ago, she had deliberately wet Brother San's Spellbook, which had indeed led this misguided brother to accidentally learn Backlash Magic.
Aelia's Dragonbone Wand suddenly emitted a Longyin-like Zhen Chan; Ice Cracks emerged along its length, resonating with her Wedding Ring.
The bloodied Lady of the Fortress's Ailya's White Nails grazed over the floating Contract Stone, and the Blood Pearl-stained Stele Inscription projected a vast Star Map—Luna recognized this as the "Starlit Judgment" recorded in the Magic Castle Secret History, requiring both Close Kin blood and Betrayal Evidence to trigger simultaneously.
"Evidence, is it?" Luna suddenly chimed in with a clear childlike voice, startling Qin Si into knocking over the evidence tray.
The chubby Palm of the infant struck against the toppled Honey Jar, and thick liquid flowed through the cracks of Peacock Stone Tiles into the Dark Compartment, soaking through the Parchment she had glued to Hidden Layer with her saliva seven days ago.
When Aelia lifted the damp Magic Letter with her wand, Leonard's magical fingerprint emerged on the silver Fire Seal—an imprint that no Illusion Magic could forge.
[To My Canary: Are you satisfied with the terrace remodeled from the Weapon Vault?
A smile in exchange for Moonstone Vein is worth it.] The opening lines caused Aelia's Crown to burst forth with blinding Silver Light. The Twin Lotus pattern illustrated in the corner of the Letterhead reacted against her Marriage Emblem at her Collarbone, burning in the air and producing a charred smell.
Even more deadly was the Date Signed—it was precisely during those three days last year when she had fainted from complications during childbirth; there were still traces of Cedar Balm used by the medical team at that time on the Magic Letter.
Suddenly, Second Brother knelt on the ground, and the Memory Crystal in his arms automatically played a recording of Leonard's Last Night from last winter.
In the image, Leonard lay "severely injured and unconscious," yet the hem of Leonard's Cloak was stained with the unique Wisteria Pollen from Canary Pavilion—this plant only blooms at night in Xicheng District.
Luna, Yi Ya, crawled toward Aelia, her baby Saliva drawing a simple Manifestation Spell on the back of a Silver Spoon. In the reflection of the Spoon, an image emerged of Lord meeting with Leonard's Concubine last night. The inner side of Leonard's Cloak was embroidered with Gold Thread, depicting "Dedicated to My Sun," forming a cruel contrast with Aelia's Wedding Dress Lining, which bore "Eternal Moonlight."
"How dare you..." Aelia's magic, Zhang Jian, condensed into a violent blend of Ice and Fire, causing all metallic objects in the Nursery to begin twisting and deforming.
Suddenly, Brother San's Wheelchair ejected seventy-two Secret Silver Needles, a defensive mechanism Luna had modified during her "playtime" two months ago.
The array formed by the silver needles projected a Holographic Map of Xicheng District in the air, marking thirty-six properties with red dots—all mimicking Aelia's handwriting.
Leonard suddenly reached for the floating Contract Stone, and a ring inlaid with black Obsidian flashed with an eerie red light.
Luna’s Emerald Eyes contracted sharply—this was the starting move of the Bloodline Alteration Technique recorded in the Dark Codex. She bit her Tongue, spraying bloodied Saliva onto the Transmitting Crystal placed on the windowsill three days ago.
The sound of the Crystal shattering startled the Crystal Butterfly curled up in the chandelier. The frightened butterflies fluttered toward Leonard, their wings shedding Phosphor Dust that formed a temporary anti-magic field around him.
"Does Father still think all of this is coincidence?" Brother San suddenly tore open his clothing, revealing Silver Patterns emerging from his Heart that resonated with the Contract Stone—this was the effect of Luna's "accidental" spill of Manifestation Potion on him last week.
The flames igniting from the boy’s Fingertip were no longer the usual orange-red but an Ice Blue that symbolized a pure Lord Bloodline, completely shattering Leonard’s long-held belief in his "Talent Defect Theory."
Aelia suddenly staggered to support herself against the cracking Cherry Wood Table. The ice crystals falling from her Dragonbone Wand spelled out their Newlywed Vows' final line on the Ground: "With moonlight as witness, lies will cause stars to fall."
A thunderous Roar echoed from Castle Exterior; Luna knew this was her Resonance Stone buried in the rose garden two weeks ago beginning to take effect—when the vows of Lord and Lady of the Fortress were broken, the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue was rising from Underground.
Leonard suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of a Night Owl; his cloak, adorned with black Obsidian, billowed without wind.
He raised his hand to catch half a piece of Contract Stone that had been blasted out by Ankeli. Crimson patterns crawled up his arm and neck: "Do you think these childish tricks can..." Before he could finish his sentence, a charred corner of paper suddenly floated out from Luna's Swaddling—this was her deliberate placement of Final Evidence into Diaper Hidden Layer that morning.
As Aelia unfolded the tattered Pregnancy Test Report with trembling fingertips, everyone present was struck by the shocking date: three months before Luna's birth, the infant at Canary Pavilion had already turned one month old.
Ailya's silver hair suddenly turned snow white, and the moonstone on her crown shattered one after another.
Amidst the scattered Jing Chen, Leonard's gaze fixed on Luna like a poisoned dagger. His left hand, hidden behind his back, quietly formed a Black Magic Mark—the protective rune beneath the baby carriage was silently cracking.
Leonard's knuckles cracked as he squeezed them, laughter echoing ominously. The Pregnancy Test Report ignited in his hand with an eerie green flame.
The floating castle suddenly tilted violently at a forty-five-degree angle, and shards of the Crystal Chandelier fell like blade edges. Yet, before they could touch Luna's swaddling, they were melted into liquid by an Ice Blue Flame that sprang from Brother San's fingertip—the boy himself was stunned; this was clearly a technique only the Heir of the Lord could perform.
"Nefarious Offspring!" Leonard's sleeve suddenly shot out three Obsidian Chains, their chain blades adorned with Lover's Contract Runes aimed straight for Luna's throat.
The elder brother's wheelchair armrest unleashed Secret Silver Needles in response. Seventy-two silver needles formed a Sirius Totem just in time to block the attack, but the Blueberry Juice left on their tips burned through the air to reveal a map of Xicheng District—three days ago, when Luna had deliberately spilled jam, she had soaked these hidden weapons with baby corn pollen.
"Father misappropriated funds from the Northern Army to expand Canary Pavilion last year!" Lucius suddenly kicked open the distorted Liujin Gate, his Gold Leaf Ledger stained blood red by the Developing Potion splashed by Qin Si.
The young master's Family Crest Necklace burst forth with Silver Light, and a Magic Contract emerging in the air revealed that the deed to the Weapon Vault had been altered to bear Leonard's Concubine's name—Luna recognized that this was triggered by her saliva mark from last week when she had leaned on his parchment.
Ailya's silver hair was now completely white, and the shattered moonstone on her crown formed sharp edges at its base.
She staggered to support herself against the overturned Oak Cabinet, from which rolled out a crystal ball that Luna had caught during her full moon celebration—inside it emerged scenes from Leonard's Last Night at Luna's First Birthday Celebration. As Leonard raised his glass in a toast, his Emerald Collar Pin glimmered; it was indeed a wedding gift from Aelia’s grandmother.
"Mother, be careful!" Second Brother suddenly lunged at Aelia as Leonard’s Black Magic Sphere grazed past her ear, scorching a hole in the Family Portrait behind her.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna bit her finger and pressed her bloodied palm against the Soulfire Transfer Array engraved at the bottom of the Cradle three days ago—suddenly, the Peacock Stone Tiles in the Nursery flipped over to reveal a distribution map of Moonstone Veins buried for ten years. The marked red areas corresponded directly to the expansion coordinates of Canary Pavilion.
A deafening sound of rocks crumbling echoed from the Castle Outer Wall; the right hand of the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue had already broken through the rose garden.
Leonard suddenly snapped the Obsidian Necklace, and the shattered gems formed an Inverse Pentagram Formation in the air.
The Thorn Vine on Brother's wheelchair grew wildly, revealing that each tendril was entwined with Vampiric Runes that siphoned Aelia's magic, under the influence of the Developing Potion Luna had applied three days ago.
"Are you even willing to drain your own flesh and blood?" Qin Si suddenly tore open his sleeve, revealing a Contract Mark emerging in the crook of his arm, identical to Brother's.
The maid trembled as she raised the Night Watch Log from three months ago. The honey Luna had smeared on the cover last week now manifested Leonard's late-night intrusion into the servants' quarters—his Fingertip flowing with Hypnosis Magic, which was the root cause of Qin Si's repeated memory lapses.
Leonard's eyes glinted with an unnatural crimson, and his rune-embroidered cloak suddenly expanded into bat-like wings.
Brother San abruptly snatched Luna's swaddling and tossed it into the air. The baby's saliva traced a complete Counter-curse Totem from this upside-down perspective—this was the Life-Saving Talisman she had secretly practiced over a hundred times using Milk Stain since her arrival.
When Black Magic and the Black Magic Shockwave collided with the Moonlight Barrier that suddenly emerged around the infant, the gem on Aelia's Wedding Ring unexpectedly cracked.
"Mother..." Luna called out with a choked voice, her Emerald Eyes reflecting Aelia's gradually hollow gaze.
At Lady of the Fortress's feet, a vortex of intertwining ice crystals and flames spread out. The magic Zhang Jian wielded was no longer Chaos Energy but rather chaotic energy mixed with Obsidian Fragments.
The Contract Stone suspended in mid-air suddenly changed direction, and the inscription on the Stele—the word "Betrayer"—seemed to faintly point towards Luna's location.
A mournful cry akin to Longyin echoed from the castle's foundation as the left hand of the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue broke through the East Tower.
Amidst the rain of collapsing Stained Glass, Aelia's Snow White Hair ensnared Luna's swaddling. The remaining moonstone in her Crown burned through Mei Xin, leaving a bloody Judgment Mark.
As her magic Zhang Jian pointed towards the infant's Heart without Awareness, Luna’s First Generation Lord's Badge, hidden beneath a Diaper in a Hidden Layer, suddenly buzzed. This Life-Saving Talisman she had held under her tongue since her arrival now reflected Aelia’s deep-seated doubts and despair that were wildly growing within her Pupil.
