Chapter 117
The wind and snow swirled around the fragments of the Kuyin Mirror, crashing against the Stained Glass. Aelia's fingers, gripping the Oath Book, nearly dug into the Parchment.
Luna curled up in her purple Mink Velvet Swaddle, quietly tugging at the Dark Pattern of the carpet with fingers stained by Milk. The positioning spell she had drawn with Rice Paste last night was now taking effect.
"Milady!" Qin Si trembled as he supported the swaying Aelia. "There’s a black Magical Fluctuation coming from the North Tower..."
"To the study," Aelia commanded, pressing her Wedding Ring hard against the Last Page of the Oath Book. The swirling black mist in the Contract Array suddenly coalesced into Thorns that wrapped around her Wrist.
A flicker of Xing Mang passed through Luna's pupils, and the Magic Crystal Powder hidden in Qin Si's sleeve fell just at the base of the Thorn.
As they passed through the corridor adorned with the Image of the Lineage Head, Luna noticed that the right hand of the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue had turned towards the dungeon.
Three lights of the Crystal Chandelier hanging from the Dome suddenly extinguished, and the Crimson Flame Iris, cherished by Second Brother, withered instantly in its niche—an omen of black Magic Backlash.
Leonard was casting a repair spell on the shattered Kuyin Mirror, his gilded Magic Robe still carrying the scent of Nightingale Feather Perfume unique to Emerald Pavilion.
As Aelia's blood-stained Skirt swept past the door, a Contract Stone slipped from Leonard's sleeve and accidentally knocked over a jar of Dragon Blood Ink, splattering it onto the Prophecy Scene emerging from the Oath Book.
"Explain," Aelia demanded as she handed Luna to Qin Si. The Thorn tainted by Black Magic suddenly pierced through the carpet.
Luna pretended to knock over a Crystal Baby Bottle, allowing Milky White Liquid to seep into Qin Si's shoe, tracing a Dark Pattern—this was the Key to the Soulfire Transfer Array leading to forbidden grounds.
The frost gathering at Leonard's Fingertip melted instantly upon contact with the Prophecy Scene. In Leonard's Last Night, the Wisteria Pattern of Emerald Pavilion’s Window Lattice perfectly aligned with his collar's dark embroidery.
Luna let out a timely giggle, and a badge hidden in her swaddle projected scales resembling those of a North Tower infant’s Ear—Luna.
"Just an illusion!" Lord shouted as he swung his sword towards the Projection, but Jian Feng bizarrely penetrated through Qin Si's recently polished Silver Candelabra.
Luna's Manifestation Potion, applied to the candlestick last night, began to take effect. The Sword Body emerged, revealing numerous Contract Runes, each entwined with the hair of the Black-Haired Woman.
Aelia's shattered Wedding Ring suddenly floated in midair, the vows from twelve years ago materializing and wrapping around Leonard's neck: "What about the loyalty sworn on the Frost Rose?" Her question triggered a Resonance from the First Generation Statue, and a roar of iron chains breaking echoed from the dungeon.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna threw the Crystal Pacifier towards the fireplace, where flames revealed a tampered Teleportation Circle Coordinate—the path that once led to the Elven Holy Spring was now directed towards the Forbidden Cradle where the illegitimate child resided.
Leonard attempted to activate the sword handle Long Jing automatically but found it coated with Luna's secretly expelled Milk Stain.
When the Oath Book suddenly ignited, Qin Si's arms around Luna were met with her sharp Loud Cry.
Instinctively, Aelia cast a Protective barrier, but the sound waves hidden within her cry shattered the West Side's floor-to-ceiling window.
A violent Wind and Snow swept through, carrying a gem that had fallen from the First Generation Statue's left hand, precisely embedding it into the groove above the study door.
The entire castle tilted suddenly by fifteen degrees as Lucius's Shadow Leopard cub knocked over a candlestick in the corridor.
Dripping Wax formed an overhead view of the Emerald Pavilion on the Ground, with Leonard and Leonard's Concubine's peacock blue shawl made of fish silk floating by the attic window.
"Father!" Lucius's exclamation came from below the spiral staircase as he cradled a Magic Tome that was seeping black mist—the vessel for his Second Brother's deceived Soul Contract.
Luna squinted, noticing that the Grimoire's Gold Foil patterns matched perfectly with the Dark Pattern of the illegitimate child's swaddling.
Aelia's wand suddenly burst forth with seven rings of light as the Moonlight Vine planted on the wedding room windowsill twenty years ago pierced through three layers of stone and wrapped around Leonard's ankle.
Feigning fright from the Magic Fluctuation, Luna waved her small hand just in time to shatter a Crystal Paperweight—inside it, Memory Fragments immediately projected a complete image of last night's Emerald Pavilion onto the wall.
As the Black-Haired Woman turned to reveal her face, a violent Magical Fluctuation erupted in the East Wing.
Her elder brother’s Wheelchair toppled over a cabinet of forbidden drugs; Second Brother’s Communication Crystal fell from the third floor; Brother San’s Experimental Crucible exploded in a burst of colorful smoke—these disturbances awakened generations of Mages sleeping within the Image.
Luna's tears suddenly transformed into pearls that fell onto the ground, a result of the Mermaid Tear Capsule she had secretly ingested taking effect.
The bouncing pearls rolled along the patterns of the Defensive Barrier towards the dungeon, perfectly wedging themselves into the loosening seal of the Ancient Monster and the Demon Binding Shackles.
Leonard finally tore open a Space Rift in fury, only to be backfired by the Forbidden Spell that Aelia had secretly planted within the Wedding Ring.
What surged from the rift was not Dark Matter, but rather the milk powder Luna had intentionally spilled last night—an opaque torrent catalyzed by magic instantly flooded all Contract documents in the study.
As the last page of the Oath Book floated towards the Northwest Tower, a rose hairpin hidden in Qin Si's hair suddenly bloomed.
Amidst the rich floral scent, blood tears streamed from the eyes of the First Generation Fortress Lord Statue, coalescing on the ground into three Blood Arrows pointing in different directions.
A heavy object crashed to the ground deep within the castle, mingling with the sound of the butler accidentally shattering a Transmission Mirror.
Luna curled up, sensing three distinct sources of magical energy approaching from the Training Ground, laboratory, and Forbidden Library simultaneously—her brothers were coming, having caught wind of the Family Contract's fluctuations.
The violent wind and snow abruptly ceased, and moonlight filtered through the Broken Dome onto the Oath Book and its Remains.
The last ash revealed a ghostly face drawn by Luna with Milk Stain, perfectly matching the patterns of the address in the prophecy regarding the swaddled Lining.
At that moment, Aelia's Wedding Ring shattered completely, unleashing an energy wave that resonated with the Warning Bells hanging in the bell tower.
Moonlight Vine grew wildly under Aelia's magical Zhang Jian, pinning Leonard's right leg to the Lapis Lazuli floor.
The Magic Tome in Third Young Master Lucius's arms suddenly levitated, as black mist seeped from the Soul Contract that Second Brother had been tricked into signing by his close friend, forming a twisted Magic Circle Diagram on the ground—exactly like the remnants of Forbidden Technique he had pressed his handprint on three days ago while intoxicated.
"The Wisteria Dark Pattern on Father's collar..." The eldest brother in a wheelchair suddenly spoke, his fingertip tracing over the ice crystal embedded in the armrest.
The floating Magic Tome opened to page 437, revealing a Parchment documenting the construction Contract for Emerald Pavilion, prominently stamped with Leonard's Magic Mark.
Luna kicked off the small socks embroidered with Calming Spell from Qin Si's embrace, her pink toes landing perfectly on the Teleportation Circle tattoo on his collarbone.
A milky white Soulfire Transfer Array halo spread from her feet, causing the First Patriarch image in the southwest corner of the study to tremble suddenly. At the bottom of the frame, a blood-stained piece of Infant Swaddling was revealed—bearing the same Dragon Blood embroidery as that of the illegitimate daughter from the North Tower.
"Mother, be careful!" The Second Brother's Communication Crystal suddenly fell from the third floor, piercing through the protective barrier and embedding itself into the carpet by Aelia's feet.
The image sealed within the crystal was awakened by a surge of magic, revealing Leonard on his Last Night—he was wearing Obsidian Cufflinks, a birthday gift Aelia had made for him last year using Moonlight Vine Juice, now entangled with the hair of a Strange Woman.
Brother San's Experimental Crucible rolled out from colorful smoke, shattering the Magic Hourglass displayed in the study.
As Jin Sha flowed, it revealed the Residual Shadow of a Time Reversal Spell. Everyone clearly saw Leonard at that moment applying a double Contract in the Oath Book—his left hand forming a marriage vow while his right hand concealed in his sleeve was drawing a Bloodline Transference Spell.
"Father!" Lucius's voice choked with emotion as his Shadow Leopard cub suddenly bristled, its emerald eyes reflecting a swaddled bundle hidden in the Study Room Secret Compartment.
The infant clothes embroidered with Counter-curse Rune had stitches identical to those Aelia had sewn for Lucius years ago.
Leonard waved his gold-trimmed robe to shatter Moonlight Vine, but frost began to form at his fingertips: "It's just about maintaining the Family Bloodline..." His defense was abruptly interrupted by Luna's loud cry.
The small baby’s Unintentional Pearl Necklace snapped and flew toward the fireplace, Mermaid Tears transforming into thirty-six water mirrors in the flames, each reflecting different moments of Emerald Pavilion.
Eldest Brother’s Wheelchair Armrest suddenly popped open a Dark Compartment, spilling healing potions sealed within an Ice Crystal onto the floor.
The light blue liquid seeped into the Base of the First Generation Statue through an Earth Rift, awakening the Judgment Scale that had slept for three hundred years from underground.
As Leonard attempted to interfere with the scale using a Contract Stone, Luna's revealing agent from last night, applied to her Crystal Pacifier, drifted down with the wind, causing seven names of Illegitimate Children to emerge on the surface of the Contract Stone.
"So my Magic Backlash..." Eldest Brother tightened his grip on the Wheelchair Armrest, finally seeing clearly the fragments of scales floating in the Holy Water that Father had handed him years ago—exactly what was now placed on the other end of the scale: Golden Hair belonging to an illegitimate child.
His remaining leg suddenly burst forth with Azure Light as magic sealed for ten years began to stir.
Second Brother stumbled as he leaned against the bookshelf, the so-called friends he once believed had betrayed him now revealed under the light of the Judgment Scale, exposing the hidden marks of the Family Crest.
He trembled as he tore off the bandage from his Left Arm, the cursed Contract Mark resonating with the Dark Pattern on Leonard's cuff.
Brother San's Astrolabe suddenly rolled out from the Experimental Robe, its Pointer spinning wildly before settling on the astrological position of "Bloodline Fraud."
He gazed blankly at his Palm, marred by Magical Burns, finally understanding why every attempt at high-level Spells had ended in failure—those "shortcuts" personally taught by Father were nothing but insidious traps that obstructed the Magic Circuit.
Seizing the moment, Luna pressed her milk-stained fingers against Qin Si's carotid artery, causing the Maid's Ear's Puppet Curse Seal to manifest instantly.
Aelia's Wedding Ring Fragment suddenly floated, merging into a complete Moonlight Rose that pierced through the Curse Mark.
Regaining his senses, Qin Si hastily tore open his sleeve, revealing twenty-eight pinpricks in his arm—each one a Puppet Contract Mark conveying updates about Leonard’s illegitimate daughter.
Veins bulged on Leonard's forehead as his gilded Magic Robe was shredded by surging magical energy. "Despicable..." he began, but was interrupted by Luna's sudden spray of milk.
The Milky White Liquid, infused with purifying magic, poured over the Family Crest on his chest, causing the embedded Long Jing to crack open, revealing a black Contract Stone inside.
The Judgment Scale toppled with a crash, and seven Rubies representing illegitimate children rolled across the Ground.
From deep within the castle's foundation came a sickening cracking sound, and the Eye of the Lineage Head Image suddenly turned toward the Northwest Tower.
The hidden magical array that Luna had drawn with Rice Paste on the windowsill finally activated, projecting an image of the illegitimate daughter's Cradle onto each piece of Stained Glass.
As the Warning Bells rang for the eleventh time, Luna's "accidentally" knocked-over Golden Bell rolled to her brother's feet.
The crisp sound triggered an Automatic Activation of the dark compartment in his Wheelchair Armrest, causing the long-sealed Heir Contract scroll to unfurl automatically.
On the yellowed Parchment, Leonard's blood fingerprint burned into the Contract Terms at "Only Illegitimate Child has inheritance rights," creating a charred Black Hole.
The storm of Wind and Snow swept through once more, carrying with it the unique Nightingale Feather of the Emerald Pavilion.
Aelia's Moonlight Vine suddenly bloomed with thorny black roses, from which dense strands of Mama's betrayal emerged, intertwining with the Time Node.
Leonard attempted to summon his ancestral magic sword, only to find the hilt entwined with an Oath, as Ailia was being gradually strangled by Luna's Lullaby Thread.
The moonlight was suddenly stained crimson, as all the mirrors in the castle reflected Aelia's shattered Wedding Ring.
Luna's Crystal Pacifier quietly rolled beneath the Judgment Scale, and the Milky White Liquid seeping from it began to etch a new Family Law upon the surface of the balance... The golden light erupting from the Judgment Scale engulfed all sound.
Aelia collapsed into the Thorned Throne woven from Moonlight Vines, watching as seven Rubies exploded into Powder at Leonard's feet—each grain of Dust emerging with the Loud Cry of an illegitimate daughter, marking Leonard's Last Night.
Luna's Pearl Tears continued to fall, seeping through the cracks in the dungeon along the lines of the Defensive Barrier, compressing the Ancient Monster's Frost Wolf's Roar into Sobbing.
"Mother!" Lucius suddenly lunged to Aelia's knees, clutching an Emerald Hairpin held in the mouth of a Shadow Leopard cub—exactly the Dowry that had gone missing three years ago.
The Little Beast emitted a gurgling sound from its throat as its claws gently pried open the pearl at the top of the hairpin, revealing a sealed Memory Crystal within—during the wedding twenty years ago, when Leonard kissed Aelia while handing back her hand, his sleeve still concealed the Dark Bag containing a Black-Haired Woman's Jiao Xiao Pa.
The sudden creaking of Brother's Wheelchair echoed as its Ice Crystal armrest revealed a hidden Family Tree Diagram.
The golden-tinged branch of Illegitimate Child fiercely intertwined with the darkened branch of illegitimate sons; every time Leonard attempted to speak in defense, three more Black Lines would split off under his name.
"It turns out my elemental fire went berserk because..." Second Brother suddenly tore open his collar, revealing a Contract Mark on his chest resonating with a floating Magic Tome.
The Yellowed Pages flipped wildly to the chapter detailing the Bloodline Curse; there lay the Soul Contract he had been tricked into signing three years ago, with none other than the Nurse of North Tower’s illegitimate daughter as its beneficiary.
Brother San’s Experimental Robe suddenly moved without wind, and "Father's Notebook," treasured within its Dark Bag sleeve, floated in midair.
The yellowed Parchment revealed hidden Tiny Inscriptions under the judgmental golden light; those Magic Formulas he revered as principles concealed within each symbol a malicious Curse that obstructed the Magic Circuit.
Luna seized the opportunity to grasp Qin Si's Pearl Earring, using the momentum from the maid's bow to press her milk-stained fingers against Aelia's Wedding Ring Fragment.
As the milky white liquid seeped into the cracks of the gem, the shattered crystal chandelier suddenly reformed, casting the long-lost Frost Rose Family Crest of the Aelia Family, which had been forgotten for a century.
"The Wisteria of the Emerald Pavilion..." Aelia murmured, reaching out to touch the light and shadow. As her fingertip passed through the Family Crest, it unexpectedly grasped something tangible—a gem of Blood Tears that had fallen from the Eye Socket of the First Generation Statue.
The intertwining waves of ice and fire energy sent Leonard's gilded Crown flying, revealing the black Contract Mark hidden on his forehead.
The entire castle let out a long sigh, and the Image of the Lineage Head automatically rolled up, unveiling the First Generation Family Law engraved behind it.
The walls of the West Side collapsed with a thunderous roar, and the Judgment Mirror, sealed for three hundred years, slowly rose. The mirror did not reflect the current scene but instead showed Leonard's Last Night from twenty years ago—the night he buried the Contract Stone beneath the Moonlight Vine.
Luna's Lullaby Thread suddenly snapped, and seven Silver Threads precisely wrapped around the Weight pan of the Judgment Scale.
As the last echoes of Warning Bells faded away, a roar came from deep within the dungeon as chains broke apart. However, the anticipated rampage of monsters did not occur—those Demon Binding Shackles that Luna had trapped with pearls were now transforming into starlight, merging with Aelia's Wedding Ring Fragment.
A violent Wind and Snow swept in again but gently lifted Aelia's scattered silver hair.
In the reflection of her gradually clearing eyes, Luna was seen holding a Crystal Pacifier and babbling. Her pink palm faintly emerged with a totem interwoven with Frost Rose and Xingyue—that was a guardian mark older than the Glorious Demon Fortress.
