Chen Lu had not yet evaporated on the Rose Petals, yet the courtyard was already filled with the pungent scent seeping from the Bronze Statue.
Luna lay in Aelia's arms, counting the cracks in the clouds. Her baby-like Light Gold eyelashes fluttered, precisely catching sight of Qin Si carrying a Crystal Flask as she passed through the Wisteria Corridor.
The infant suddenly let out a soft mewl like a kitten, her chubby right hand grabbing Aelia's cascading silver hair while her left pointed at Qin Si, who was wiping down a stone table.
"Does Young Miss want Qin Si to hold her?" Aelia chuckled as she adjusted the swaddling blanket. The Wedding Ring on her finger glinted with remnants of black Obsidian, casting a shadow over Luna's Mei Xin.
Seizing the opportunity, the baby concentrated her accumulated purification magic into a Light Spot, letting it drift down like a yawning firefly, landing on Qin Si's sleeve embroidered with Cornflower.
Qin Si's hand froze mid-wipe, her fingertips brushing against the suddenly warm embroidery thread.
When she looked up at Luna, she was met with the infant's clear, starry Lan Tong—an expression that was anything but ordinary for a baby; it resembled the focus of a Mage observing a Star Trail.
Luna suddenly laughed and curled her Toes, her plump ankles revealing traces of last night's Manifestation Potion and Ailina's Burn, glimmering with Mother-of-Pearl luster.
"Take her to feed some Chen Lu honey," Aelia said as she handed over the swaddled baby, accidentally scraping her Wedding Ring against Qin Si's wrist adorned with an Astrology Bracelet.
The Pentagram Jade Pendant began to spin counterclockwise—a secret warning passed among the maids of the Magic Castle. When a master's personal item triggered an anomaly in an astrological device, it meant that something violating the Oath was within ten steps.
As Qin Si carried Luna through the corridor adorned with Ancestral Portraits, the infant suddenly squirmed and leaned toward the West Tower.
The frost clinging to the Gilded Door Handle made the maid gasp; there should have been an Oath Flame burning there that never extinguished.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luna buried her little face into Qin Si's neck, her warm breath brushing against the maid's collarbone where an old scar remained—a Crescent Scar from three years ago when she had blocked a curse for Aelia.
"Does Young Miss want to see the crystal ball in Lord's Study?" Qin Si muttered to herself as she changed direction, unaware that the baby was drooling on her Mink Cloak while drawing a miniature map of the Magic Castle.
When they stopped in front of a door carved with a two-headed griffin, Luna suddenly grasped Qin Si's dangling hair ribbon and pressed the moonstone attached to it into the door lock's groove.
Inside the study, floating Parchments resembled startled doves. Luna's gaze swept across the wall where a new Serpent Candelabrum had been added—an ornament that would not appear in Original until five years later, favored by Leonard's Concubine.
Qin Si placed the infant on a velvet-covered Observation Platform and turned to tidy up the Original Document that had been disturbed by Chen Feng’s wind. Meanwhile, Luna quietly smeared her saliva, imbued with detection magic, onto the surface of the Bronze globe.
The globe suddenly emitted a grinding sound, and Qin Si hurriedly turned around, seeing the emblem representing the Glorious Demon Fortress oozing dark red onto the Linen Continent.
Luna deliberately kicked over a nearby ink bottle, and the splattered liquid formed a twisted blood arrow on the ground, pointing directly at the family shield hanging above the fireplace.
"Behind this..." As Qin Si stepped on a soft stool to take down the shield, a blue agate box hidden in Ankeli rolled to the floor.
The loud cry of a baby perfectly masked the click of the mechanism being activated. Qin Si trembled as she pulled out a magic letter dusted with violet powder from the box. The gorgon pattern on the fire seal made her knees go weak—this was the family crest of her lord and political rival.
Luna watched as Qin Si stuffed the letter into her fluffy petticoat. The baby's acute hearing picked up the sound of silver boots echoing down the corridor.
Suddenly, she burst into loud cries, prompting Qin Si to hurriedly pick her up and rock her.
As Shan Na pushed open the study door, Luna unleashed a long-planned sneeze right onto Qin Si's chest. The drool mixed with manifestation potion instantly rendered the invisible rune on the maid's skirt ineffective.
"Who allowed you to bring a baby into this forbidden place?" Leonard's voice was laced with frost magic but softened when he saw his daughter's tear-filled blue eyes.
The lord's scepter, embedded with black obsidian, thudded heavily against the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Luna blew dandelion fluff hidden between her fingers toward her father's collar—where it was stained with powder from night lilies that had not been cleaned after Leonard's tryst with his concubine.
When Aelia took the crying Luna in her arms, a sudden heat from the black obsidian wedding ring burned her fingertip, leaving a mark of Qing Yan.
As Qin Si busied herself with adjusting the infant swaddling, she slipped the tear-stained letter into her lady's embroidered basket.
When Luna's soul power struck against the seal for the eighth time, it finally drew Aelia's attention to a corner of a violet magic letter peeking out from under the embroidery frame.
"Just some old account books..." Aelia smiled as she unfolded the letter, but her words suddenly choked in her throat.
Leonard's lunar pendant erupted with blinding silver light, illuminating the intertwined phrase "Bluebell blooms by Eternal Night Lakeside" on the letterhead—exactly where her husband had said he would go to suppress a beast during her postpartum coma.
A hoarse caw from outside the window lattice caught Aelia's attention as she traced her fingertip over the raised gorgon pattern on the fire seal.
Luna quietly gazed at Aelia's neck where ice cracks were emerging—signs of a magical surge that had only appeared before darkness descended in the original timeline.
When a single tear fell onto Luna's purple aster embroidered shoes within her swaddling, Aelia felt a light crackling sound from her left ring finger. The surface of her obsidian wedding ring began to spiderweb with cracks.
Aelia's fingertips pressed against the crease of the Letterhead, turning pale blue. In the Silver Light emitted by the Lunar Pendant, each word burned into her retina.
The Fire Wax Seal's Gorgon twisted grotesquely in the Strong Light, its fine scales shedding like Violet Powder—colliding with the Night Lily dust that stained her husband's collar, exploding into tiny Indigo sparks in the air.
"The Bluebell by the Eternal Night Lakeside..." she murmured, recalling the Blood Stench from five years ago in the delivery room, memories of Leonard's Battle Armor glistening with Beast Blood Pearls now transformed into the Chen Lu of her lover's Hair Tips.
Suddenly, Ice Cracks spread across her neck and down to her Collarbone. Aelia staggered, clutching the Malachite windowsill, knocking over the Lily of the Valley Vase that Qin Si had just replaced that morning.
Clear water flowed over the Wedding Ring and Ice Cracks of Shan Na, as the Guardian Spirit sealed within the black Obsidian let out a Screech, dissipating into black smoke among the startled Wings of a Raven.
The sound of Silver Boots approached through the frosty corridor, and as Leonard pushed open the door, a gust of wind swept across the scattered Magic Letters on the floor.
The Ice Spirit Stone clasped to Lord Liujin's belt flickered uncertainly—this was a Token of Love he had personally carved from the Millennium Cold Pool on Aelia's Ten-Year Birthday, now reflecting the shattered starry river in his wife's eyes.
"Just a forgery by a Political Rival..." Leonard reached for the Letterhead, his Fingertip adorned with Magic Crystal suddenly igniting with Azure Blue Flame.
Aelia let out a cold laugh; the remaining Obsidian Fragment from her Wedding Ring cut into her Palm. When the Blood Pearl fell to the ground, it unexpectedly bloomed into a thorny Ice Rose, freezing those flames that sought to destroy evidence in midair.
Luna curled up in her Cradle, quietly using her Soul Power to activate the residual Manifestation Potion from Qian Si Skirt.
Pale Golden Mist enveloped the Bronze Candlestick, casting Leonard's hidden Night Lily Emblem onto the wall—exactly like Leonard's Concubine's Family Totem from the Original.
Suddenly, Aelia's Lunar Pendant transformed into silver chains that wrapped around her husband's Wrist, branding his skin with a charred cross Scar. This was a Holy Mark imposed by the Glorious Demon Fortress' First Matriarch to punish unfaithful men.
"The Oath Flame from West Tower," Aelia's voice was wrapped in fierce Wind and Snow. "Is it you who extinguished it with Frost Magic?" She tore open her husband's collar adorned with Ice Spirit Stone, causing Bluebell Petals hidden within to flutter down and ignite upon touching ground into Eerie Violet Fire.
A Murder of Crows suddenly shattered through the Colored Window, carrying burning curtains toward Lord; this was an ancient Blood Oath backlash from Magic Castle.
Leonard hurriedly raised an Ice Shield but froze when he caught sight of Aelia's Ice Cracks spreading up to her Ear. His Pupil constricted sharply.
He trembled as he reached for his Chest Armor's Dark Compartment, pulling out a Jade Box carved with Twin Lotus: "Let me explain; that child..." Before he could finish his sentence, an Ice Rose pierced through his Hand Back. Ailya's Silver Hair stirred without wind, and ice crystals at her Hair Tips began to morph into serpent tongues—the very form of Gorgon from the Fire Seal.
Luna seized the opportunity to unleash a Loud Cry, sending high-frequency Sound Waves that shattered the wall's Serpent Candelabrum.
The Memory Crystal hidden within the candle wick tumbled down, and after being soaked in the tears of a baby, it projected the intertwined Light and Shadow of the Eternal Night Lakeside into the air.
Aelia gazed at the illusion of a woman who bore a striking resemblance to her, draped in a Night Lily Cloak. She finally recalled the vague conversation she had overheard while in a coma after giving birth—"Wait for that sickly one to take his last breath, then the inheritance of the Magic Castle..."
"Crack!"
The Ice Spirit Stone waist buckle suddenly exploded, causing Leonard to panic and stumble back, knocking over a globe.
The emblem symbolizing the Glorious Demon Fortress on the Linen Continent began to bleed, staining the Bronze Pointer that had turned towards the Extreme North Land—a place marked as the Eternal Frozen Wasteland, where traitors were exiled.
Aelia picked up the bloodied Bluebell Petals and pressed them to her lips, chanting the banishment Spell of the Magic Castle First Matriarch. Suddenly, the entire castle began to rise with a Zhen Chan, erecting a Thorn Barrier.
As Lord Silver Boots sank into the suddenly softened black Obsidian Ground, Aelia had already retreated with Luna to the Ancestral Portrait Gallery.
In the Image, the eyes of the Matriarchs began to weep Mercury, forming a river of forbidden energy along the path that Leonard was pursuing.
Luna quietly infused her Soul Power into Aelia's Lunar Pendant, allowing that Silver Light to cast an illusion of Leonard's Concubine giving birth on the Pillar—the very scene she had spied on through the Magic Web three days ago.
"Please..." Leonard extended his hand across the Shui Yin He, holding in his palm an Ice Crystal Phoenix taken from a Twin Lotus Jade Box. "This was reshaped with our wedding vows..." Before he could finish speaking, the Ice Cracks at Aelia's neck had already crept up towards Luna.
She tore off the Lunar Pendant and threw it into the Shui Yin He. In the explosion of bright light, the Ice Crystal Phoenix suddenly flapped its wings and crashed into the ceiling's Oath Torch Platform, melting into tear-drop shapes within the rekindled golden flames.
As Luna looked through the closing gap of the Thorn Barrier, she saw Aelia's cascading silver hair turning pure white like a snowfield.
The lady stroked her swaddled palm, which suddenly revealed emerging Ice Crystal Scales. In the distance, a raven carried with it the sound of wind from the Eternal Frozen Wasteland, entwining with Aelia’s awakening violent magic of wind and snow, creating a resonance with some ancient and dangerous pulse.
The screech of the closing Thorn Barrier startled all of the night owls in the entire black pine forest. Luna curled up among Aelia's increasingly frosted silver hair, catching a whiff of ice crystal scales exuding an aroma reminiscent of snowdrops from her lady's neck—an ominous sign of uncontrolled dark magic from an original protagonist.
The baby’s pink feet unintentionally brushed against Aelia's collarbone where ice cracks formed, unexpectedly touching upon a seething magical energy beneath an ice layer like lava.
"Miss, watch your step." Qin Si, holding her torn skirt, led ahead. The maid’s wrist adorned with an astrology bracelet suddenly turned collectively towards the northwest tower.
Luna squinted as she watched the moonlight pierce through the clouds, casting distorted patterns on the stone wall. Those were unmistakably the unique Aurora Runes of the Eternal Frozen Wasteland.
The surface of the Pillar that Aelia had passed was shedding frost at an eerie pace, revealing the dark red hue of the Ancient Incantation beneath.
As they moved through the Weapon Display Room, which was draped in Spider Webs, Luna suddenly reached out and grasped a silver thread that floated past her.
The remnants of the Guardian Spirit from Aelia's Wedding Ring transformed into a Light Spot in her palm, but upon touching the Infant Hair, it abruptly turned ink black—this was a method used by the Dark Sorcerer in the Original to mark their prey.
Luna's Soul Power stirred up tumultuous waves in her Mind Sea; she distinctly remembered this plot point occurring twenty chapters later.
"The Young Miss needs a new swaddling." Qin Si's voice came from beyond the Crystal Curtain, trembling unnaturally.
Luna turned her neck and saw the maid using Secret Silver Tweezers to pick up an ice crystal that had fallen from the lady's skirt. The Hexagonal Crystals reflected a Purple Light in the candlelight, which strikingly resembled Leonard's Night Lily Emblem on his cuff.
As Aelia placed the baby into the Cradle embedded with Moonstone, Luna noticed that her Fingertip's newly formed Ice Scales were devouring fragments of the Lunar Pendant.
When the lady hummed an ancient Requiem from Magic Castle, Ice Roses with Barbed edges suddenly sprouted around the Cradle. Within their petals slept a Blood Red Ying Huo bug—identical to the Invisible Rune revealed by the Manifestation Potion three days ago.
The night wind struck against the Bronze Wind Chime of the West Tower, and Luna's eyes widened in surprise.
As Aelia turned to fetch Anshen Incense, she saw shadows cast by moonlight filtering through Ice Cracks on the wall—those were unmistakably Bone Wings entwined with venomous snakes, slowly unfurling in sync with the lady's magical aura.
