As the morning mist condensed into frost at the Magic Castle Spire, the sound of the Wheelchair rolling over the stone slabs startled the eldest brother, who had been dozing among the piles of ancient texts.
He pressed down on the Fire Emblem on his knee with Awareness, only to see Luna in her swaddling blanket drawing intermittent Star Trails with her milk-stained fingers in the morning light filtering through the Window Lattice.
"You mean..." he hesitated, crushing the Ice Crystal Pill that countered healing backlash, watching as the powder reformed into unfamiliar runes in Luna's starlight. "Using a Reversal Spell combined with the Family Crest?"
Suddenly, Luna let out a loud Lactation Burp, and Golden Light Spots splashed from her tiny fist, precisely merging with the Fire Emblem on his knee.
In an instant, seven chain-like Dark Patterns surged around the Wheelchair—this was the very source of his twenty years of confinement due to Magic Backlash.
"A Triple Overlap Spell?" His pale fingertip trembled as he abruptly tore open the embroidered Ice Flame Flower on his garment.
When Luna's starlight touched his cursed Ice Blue Curse Mark on his heart, thirty-six Burning Ancient Scripts suddenly floated around the Wheelchair, incinerating the warming blanket he had clung to for twenty years into Ashes.
Just then, Qin Si entered with Yao Zhan in hand and saw the eldest brother staggering to stand from the scalding Wheelchair.
Beneath his pants embroidered with Ice Flame Flowers, his withered Twin Legs began to regain color at a visible pace, while Luna clutched the charred blanket and laughed heartily.
"Madam!" The Yao Zhi that Qin Si accidentally knocked over twisted into a panicked pattern on the Ground. "Young Master... he..."
"Hush—" Aelia appeared like a ghost in the shadows of the porch, her Pearl Earrings glinting as she caressed her Wedding Ring.
She gazed at the gradually fading Fire Emblem on her Eldest Son's knee and suddenly lifted her daughter into the moonlight on the castle's Observation Platform.
"Look, my dear," she pressed Luna's small hand against the stone wall engraved with Guardian Spells. "Last month when Father mentioned expanding the Eastern Wing Mage Tower, he specifically avoided this section of wall, didn't he?"
Luna suddenly tensed her Toes, twisting into a pouting Little Luna in her mother's arms.
The starlight mark emerging from her forehead resonated with the stone wall, illuminating a hidden dark door where black mist seeped out—this was Leonard nurturing Soul Devouring Mushrooms with Outer Room Tears, now ravenously consuming the defensive magic within Castle Keystone.
Aelia pulled out the Pearl Hairpin and sliced it across her fingertip, blood crystallizing in the moonlight into three translucent Ice Sparrows.
As the Ice Sparrow, carrying Luna's starlight, crashed through the dark door, a cascade of ice crystal Family Ledgers poured forth, each snowflake-like Yellowed Page pulsating with the Soul Contract of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" Qin Si's shout came from the lower terrace.
Lucius, who had been eavesdropping on his father and brothers with an Astrolabe, hurriedly turned around. The Celestial Chart in his arms was illuminated by Luna's suddenly opened Jin Tong—on the back of the Blueprint, the patterns of a Magic Contract altered by Second Brother emerged.
At that moment in Xi Tower of the castle, Second Brother was staring blankly at the Emerald Pocket Watch gifted by his close friend.
The swirling dark green mist within the watch had wrapped around his Wrist, leaving scaly bruises. Meanwhile, the Crystal Pacifier that Luna had given him during the day suddenly rolled to the ground, expanding into a sparkling crystal ball in the moonlight.
"Burn the Contract with Wedding Oath Flame?" Second Brother said with a bitter smile as he stroked the deceived image of his close friend. "But my engagement ended five years ago..."
His words were choked in his throat by the starlight bursting forth from the crystal ball.
Those rays of light automatically unraveled into the Love Poem he had written for his fiancée ten years ago, each letter transforming into Gold Needles that pierced through the disguise of the Emerald Pocket Watch.
As the false image of his friend dissipated in the flames, Second Brother's Wrist was being healed by Luna's lingering Milk Fragrance.
When the Midnight Bell rang from the Castle Bell Tower, Brother San's figure abruptly appeared on the Observation Platform as he turned a corner.
The rusted Jian Qiao in his hand dripped with mud from the Training Ground, while Luna suddenly reached out her small hand toward his Waist where a misused Talent Testing Stone lay. The Xing Hui on her infant clothes formed half a lost swordsmanship mantra among the cracks of the stone—
The moonlight on the Observation Platform swirled around Luna's Fingertip as Brother San's Talent Testing Stone suddenly emitted a Buzzing sound.
Those crimson patterns mistakenly believed to represent Fire Element aptitude began to shed their Liujin core in the starlight.
"Jian Qiao!" Brother San suddenly lifted the rusted Sword Body to strike the Test Stone, and the mud from the Training Ground evaporated in the starlight, forming Twelve Rays. Xu Ying—those who had misjudged his talent during the assessment by The Holy See ten years ago—came to mind.
Luna suddenly grasped his trembling Wrist, the Milk Fragrance mingling with starlight seeping into the cracks of the Test Stone, completing half a sword technique mantra into flowing Yin Wen.
"So this is..." Brother San's Leonard's Sword unexpectedly unsheathed on its own, the Family Crest hidden in the hilt resonating with the moonlight.
The Fire Spell he had been misled to practice for Twenty Years peeled away in the starlight, revealing the true Ice Crystal Veins beneath—those once deemed failures of Water Magic now coalescing into Frost Flower-shaped sword energy under Jian Feng.
As Lucius rushed up the spiral staircase with the Celestial Chart in his arms, he caught sight of Brother San's Sword Tip drawing an Ice and Fire interwoven Hexagram amidst Luna's giggles.
Young Master Three stared blankly at the Ancient Sword Manual Emerging on the Test Stone and suddenly spread out the Celestial Chart beside Luna's swaying Little Feet. "Use Astrology to complete the seventh form?"
Luna's Toes suddenly hooked onto the edge of the Celestial Chart, causing Lucius's hidden notes from last night’s conversation with his brothers to tumble out.
The Secret Script written with invisible ink materialized in the starlight, perfectly mirroring the sword moves Brother San was practicing.
As Lucius hurried to pick them up, Luna pressed her saliva-dampened Thumb against his Mei Xin, causing a glow to emanate from his forehead that matched the source of the Test Stone's Yin Wen.
"Do you want me to use Astrology to assist Brother San in his training?" Lucius turned around, feeling his forehead heat up, only to find Aelia quietly standing in the shadow of the Observation Platform.
The Lady of the Fortress gazed down at the overlapping starlight of the Young Children and suddenly pressed her Wedding Ring against Luna's nape—where a Contract Pattern had emerged, identical to that of the dark door’s Family Ledger.
At that moment in the Underground Library, Leonard pressed his Palm against the wilted Mushroom Cap of a Soul Devouring Mushroom.
The Emerald Earrings gifted by Leonard's Concubine suddenly cracked open, and Dark Red Blue Blood Fern Juice seeped through the stone crevices into the magic circle beneath his feet.
When Contract Backlash surged through Zhuo Tong and into his Heart, Lord abruptly tore open his collar, discovering that Aelia's hand-stitched Ice Flame Emblem on his Collarbone was melting away.
"Master?" The butler appeared at the entrance of the Spiral Staircase, holding a candlestick. The flickering light revealed the Contract Scroll that Leonard had hastily hidden away. "The craftsmen from the Eastern Wing Mage Tower said..."
"Stop all work!" The Lord's hoarse voice startled a Night Owl outside the window, and the black mist that fell from his sleeve turned the candlelight into an eerie shade of blue.
After the butler withdrew, Leonard suddenly cut his fingertip, letting his blood drip onto the Soul Devouring Mushroom and the Remains.
The Mycelium, having absorbed the castle's defensive magic, began to grow wildly but recoiled as if shocked when it touched the Yin Ling left behind by Luna during her daytime play.
In the Dawn's Training Ground, Brother San's Jian Feng was now able to precisely slice through the falling Frost Flowers.
Lucius ran after the sword light, holding an improved Astrolabe. The Star Trail projected by the instrument blended wonderfully with the starlight created by Luna's kick against a Milk Stain.
As the first rays of morning light pierced through the clouds, Brother San suddenly plunged Leonard's Sword into the Ground—ice crystals spread along the blade, forming a complete Family Crest. The misleading fire patterns that had troubled him for ten years evaporated into wisps of smoke under the sunlight.
"This is..." He caressed the sword hilt where the Ice Flame Flower and Ke Hen fully manifested, revealing for the first time in twenty years a smile of relief.
Luna suddenly leaned forward in Lucius's arms, her small hand covered in Chen Lu's touch slapping against Brother San's Heart—there emerged an Ice Blue Curse Mark similar to her brother's, now fading into a pale pink Luna amidst the Milk Fragrance.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings suddenly buzzed, and she turned to look towards the main fortress.
In the morning mist, Servants rushed across the courtyard in panic, carrying a Cornerstone just excavated from the East Wing ruins, engraved with the Outside Concubine Family Crest.
The Lady of the Fortress gently stroked her daughter's neck where Contract Patterns were gradually becoming clearer. Suddenly, she tore a page from last night's Family Ledger that Ice Sparrow had brought back and folded it into a paper bird, hiding it in Luna's swaddling Hidden Layer.
When Leonard composed himself and appeared in the breakfast hall, Aelia was feeding Luna pumpkin porridge with a Silver Spoon.
The Lady of the Fortress paused mid-action—Luna’s little spoon had just flung some jam onto her husband’s sleeve, staining that deep blue Fabric with a dark green Contract number identical to that on the secret door Family Ledger.
Aelia's Silver Spoon gently tapped the edge of the porcelain bowl, the crisp sound startling the magical Light Butterfly resting on the Crystal Chandelier.
Luna's Luna Juice spread orange-red stains on the Tablecloth, perfectly enveloping the Contract number on Leonard's cuff, resembling the seal Huo Qi of the Court of Judgment.
"It seems today's jam is particularly lively," Lord said, wiping his Wrist with a Napkin embroidered with Gold Thread and Iris. The Dark Pattern twisted into chain shapes in Luna's suddenly widened Pupil.
The wind stirred up by his cuff movement lifted Luna's Swaddling, and a paper bird made of snowflake Family Ledger hidden in the Hidden Layer suddenly flapped its wings, shattering the Stained Glass amid gasps from the crowd, turning into ice crystals that melted into the morning mist.
Leonard's knuckles turned white as he gripped the Lattice, and an unusual red light suddenly illuminated the Defensive Formation of the Castle Outer Wall.
The gardeners trimming roses in the courtyard looked up in shock to see a Spider Web-like Gap splitting open in the unfinished Mage Tower Dome of the East Wing—those Magic Water muds cast by Outsider Family secret arts were peeling away in Luna's unaware humming of a Lullaby.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed, holding a freshly ironed Morning Robe as he rushed into the courtyard, just as Aelia was lifting Luna over the low wall of the Observation Platform.
The Lady of the Fortress's Pearl Hairpin gathered Chen Lu at its tip, refracting last night's torn Contract Fragment into a floating Star Map.
Luna suddenly grabbed one of the ice crystals, her Baby Voice Yi Ya causing the Star Map to automatically reorganize, revealing an image of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine pledging their vows on Lunar Eclipse Night.
Third Young Master Lucius rushed over from the Emerald Corridor with an Astrolabe in hand; the modified instrument suddenly locked onto Luna's nape.
The boy stared at the reflection of the Contract Pattern emerging on the Lens and abruptly stuffed last night's secretly recorded conversation crystal into a crevice of the Observation Platform.
When Luna's starlight touched the surface of the crystal, those encrypted Secret Scripts automatically translated into Iris shaped like an Ice Sparrow, fluttering towards Aelia's Pearl Earrings.
"Mother..." Lucius hesitated as he watched the Blood Light that emerged after the Moonstone Earrings absorbed information. He saw Aelia gently caressing her daughter's Golden Hair with her Ailya's White Nails stained with Balsam Juice.
Within those deliberately trimmed arc-shaped Ailya's White Nails lay hidden a miniature Detection Spell taught to her by a seamstress during her grand wedding twenty years ago.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand towards Xi Tower, her fingertip, stained with Luna Juice, tracing a broken track in the air.
At the top of Xi Tower, Second Brother, who was adjusting the Magic Pocket Watch, felt a jolt throughout his body. The residual black mist in the dial suddenly materialized into a guiding Blood Arrow, pointing directly at the Dark Compartment of the Underground library.
As he pushed aside the bookshelf containing the Ancient Contract Compendium, he discovered bundles of secret ledgers bound with Leonard's Concubine's hair, glowing with an eerie green light.
"Triple Overlap Spell," Second Brother recited the inscription from the Crystal Pacifier that Luna had stuffed into his pocket that morning. The remaining starlight from the Emerald Pocket Watch suddenly transformed into sharp blades.
As those Gold Leaf Ledgers recording dark transactions turned to ashes in the holy light, a deep roar echoed from the castle's foundation—the collapsed old wall in the Southeast Corner began to automatically repair itself, revealing the buried First Generation Fortress Master and Celestial Relief.
Meanwhile, in the Training Ground, Brother San was slicing through the morning mist with his Jian Feng, creating a crystalline web of ice.
Each hexagonal Ice Shard reflected the Remnant Page of the sword manual that Luna had completed last night. When the eighteenth Ice Shard precisely fitted into the missing eye of the Guardian Array on the Observation Platform, the entire Glorious Demon Fortress was suddenly enveloped in a Light Gold barrier.
The servants feeding in the Stable gasped and stepped back as Soul-Eating Mushroom Spores mixed with the fodder shrank instantly into harmless ashes upon encountering the barrier's glow.
Leonard's Scepter struck heavily against the Marble Floor, and the Staff Tip embedded with a Soul Devouring Beast Crystal Core suddenly cracked with fine lines.
He gazed out at the Castle Outer Wall undergoing automatic repairs and abruptly tore off his Ice Flame Flower Crest brooch from his collar.
At that moment, as the brooch's hidden clasp popped open, an Acalypha gifted by Leonard's Concubine fell to the ground and emitted a piercing screech upon touching Yin Ling, which Luna had carelessly left behind while playing.
"Master?" The butler stood frozen at the door, holding an urgent document as he watched that scarlet seed fade to a ghostly white in the holy light.
The document recorded a bizarre accident involving the construction team at Eastern Wing Mage Tower—every craftsman involved in its construction had collectively lost their memory that morning. At the bottom of their toolboxes, cursed rivets engraved with the Outer Chamber Emblem were discovered.
As the lunch bell rang, Luna was dozing off on Aelia's shoulder.
She curled her small hand around a half-broken Magic Cookie, and where the Moonlight Crumbs fell, the Dark Pattern carpet automatically reformed into a complete castle defense map.
As the maid tidied up the Crystal Plate, the silver cutlery suddenly vibrated in Luna's Breathing Frequency, shattering the Tracking Spell hidden within the folds of Leonard's Napkin into Powder.
When Twilight descended, Aelia carried Luna through the corridor adorned with Ancestral Portraits.
The Pearl Necklace of past Ladies of the Fortress strung together in the twilight to form a Star Trail. As Luna's Golden Hair brushed against the frame of a particular Image, the Black Cat in the arms of the Noblewoman within suddenly leaped out of the canvas, pointing its tail towards the secret door of the library.
"Are you tired, my dear?" Aelia gently kissed her daughter's Milk Fragrance-scented hair. As she turned, she discreetly pressed her Wedding Ring against the Wall Tile indicated by the Black Cat.
When Luna's yawn released a few sleepy starlights, those lights surprisingly seeped into the Brick Gap, corroding Leonard's newly established shielding Curse from last week into tiny Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes.
In the late-night feeding hour, Qin Si held up a Magic Night Light and witnessed an astonishing sight—inside Luna's Crystal Baby Bottle, Milky White Liquid was transforming into Liquid Starlight.
The light flowed from the corners of the baby's lips to the pillow beside her, tracing a complete distribution map of Leonard's Concubine forces on the pillowcase embroidered with Guardian Spell.
When Aelia touched the pattern with her Fingertip stained with Yao Zhi, the Blueprint suddenly ignited into thirty-seven Ice Butterflies, fluttering away in different directions.
At Dawn's darkest moment, Luna suddenly opened her eyes in her Cradle.
She gazed at the Star Map flickering on the ceiling with the fluctuations of the barrier, her small hand gripping tightly onto the quilt corner embroidered with Ice Flame Flowers without Awareness.
Moonlight filtered through Colored Glass, casting fragmented Light Spots on her face, one diamond-shaped shadow stubbornly clinging to Mei Xin, refusing to dissipate no matter how much she waved her starry little fist.
