The Crystal Chandelier swayed in the Magic Residue, casting fragmented Light Spots as Aelia's Marriage Stone necklace fragments gradually carbonized on the carpet.
Luna curled up in the Cradle, fiddling with silver threads, while moonlight condensed into tiny Prophecy Runes on her eyelashes. Three hours ago, she had moistened a Fairy Tale Picture Book with her saliva, which now projected a blurred illusion on the lady's Grooming table.
"Is this... the Moonlight Butterfly Headband from the Dark Night Forest?" Aelia trembled as she picked up the evidence Luna had replicated with Magic Silk Thread. The pale purple Scale Powder fell in a flurry with her urgent breaths.
This magical creature, originating from the forbidden area of the Magic Castle's East Side, was only tamed by Leonard across the entire continent.
The armor of the Guardian Knight echoed dully in the corridor as Qin Si suddenly covered her mouth, pointing at the fleeting image of Leonard's Last Night: on a windowsill entwined with Wisteria, half of a Yanzhi seal was stamped on the inner side of Leonard's frequently worn Dark Pattern Cloak.
Aelia's Guardian Ring suddenly heated up, and the Magic Contract Emblem from her wedding night twenty years ago shattered again as it emerged from her hand.
"Lady, be careful!" Qin Si lunged forward to shield her from the splintering Contract Fragments.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna wrapped the last segment of memory, a Dark Purple Thread, around the crystal ball. Three hundred miles away in the Forbidden Valley, Leonard's Last Night became suddenly clear—a veiled woman cradling a black-haired infant was stroking Leonard's right hand, where a Shadow Rune was entwined; that withered bone had evidently grown new flesh and blood.
Aelia knocked over the Grooming table embedded with Starlight Stones, and twelve Magic Prisms exploded simultaneously.
Staggering to support Luna's Cradle, tears corroded the silver threads of the Detection Magic Circle, leaving Scorch Marks. "Last year he said he would repair the northern barrier... it turns out he used my Guardian Gem to make Baptismal Implements for his illegitimate child..."
At that moment, a thunderous crash echoed from the West Wing Alchemy Chamber. The Third Young Master's Ailya's Roar shook the Window Lattice with a buzzing Zhen Chan. "Father actually used Mother's Stardust to nourish a Shadow Creature!" As he kicked open the door, dark purple crystals dripped Corrosive Liquid from his grasp—fragments of a Nurturing Artifact retrieved from East Tower Ankeli.
The Wheelchair rolled over scattered Marriage Stone fragments on the corridor carpet. The Young Master's Pale fingers pressed against his Heart Backlash Mark. "Third Brother, calm down! The Judgment Array in Mother's Bedroom is still operational..." Before he could finish speaking, the Second Young Master burst in, tugging at a Shadow Guard's collar. The Intimate Friend Badge on his palm revealed traces of Blood Curse under the Eye of Truth. "No wonder Hawk wanted me to buy forbidden drugs in the black market three years ago!"
Luna suddenly let out a sharp Loud Cry, and the silver moon cocoon automatically wrapped around her, floating towards the ceiling.
Aelia looked up, following the Magic Trajectory, and noticed that a shadowy, condensed eye of surveillance had appeared in the center of the Crystal Chandelier—this was clearly Leonard's unique seven-layer concealment Spell, which was now revealed due to the disturbance of the Magic Fortress Barrier.
"Mother, look at the East Wing!" The Third Young Master's Warning came a moment too late.
A burst of Purple Black Energy suddenly pierced through the twelve layers of Defensive Barrier. Lucius, who was trimming the Night Blooming Rose in the garden, was astonished to see that the abandoned tower, rumored to imprison an Ancient Demon, now had warm yellow lights glowing from every window, lights that were only found in nurseries.
Aelia's Scepter struck heavily against the ground, and the remaining Gold Thread of the Judgment Array suddenly turned blood red.
She wiped away the blood that overflowed from her lips due to Contract Backlash and held Luna tightly in her trembling arms.
Qin Si silently picked up a Marriage Stone Fragment that had turned gray on the ground and discovered that each gem contained a Spider Web-like Shadow Embryo within.
As Twilight cast its final Jin Bian over the Magic Castle Spire, the patrolling Shadow Hounds suddenly howled collectively towards the direction of Forbidden Valley.
Luna played with the Scale Powder on Qin Si's Handkerchief, watching Aelia stand before the shattered Colored Window, pressing the newly condensed Guardian Gem into the Heart position—where a Marriage Contract should have been engraved, new Thorn-Shaped Curses were now sprouting.
A crisp sound echoed from the Castle Cellar as a Secret Silver Chain broke, but no one noticed Lucius quietly hiding away half of a moonstone marked with Tooth Marks.
Meanwhile, far away, Leonard was stroking his suddenly Zhuo Tong right hand; the new flesh glimmered ominously with Purple Light under the setting sun.
Twilight sank into Shan Na of the Magic Castle Spire as Leonard's Xuan Tie Ma Che crushed the last intact Moonstone Tiles in the courtyard.
The hooves of twelve Shadow Steeds kicked up purple-red sparks at the cracks in the barrier. The new flesh on the man's right hand twitched at the moment the car door opened—his knuckle glowing with Purple Light resonated eerily with the warm yellow lights of East Tower.
"Lord Wan'an." The butler bowed, and the Barrier Nexus Crystal hanging at his waist cracked with spider web-like fine lines.
Leonard squinted at the Shadow Hound curled up in the shadows of the Pillar. These usually fierce magical creatures had buried their decaying noses into their tails, their throats emitting intermittent sobs.
He brushed against the unwashed Yan Zhi Hen on the inside of his Dark Cloak, deliberately intensifying the sound of his footsteps on the Spiral Staircase leading to the Main Hall.
The peering array on the thirty-fourth step should have illuminated with blue light, but at that moment, tiny blood-red runes exploded beneath his boot sole—this was a unique warning spell of Aelia's maternal lineage.
The Golden Gate of the Main Hall stood wide open, and the remnants of seven layers of concealed spells on the Crystal Chandelier were peeling off like spider webs.
Leonard's pupils constricted as he saw Aelia standing in the center of scattered Prism Shards, her swollen eye sockets still glimmering with an unresolved Judgment Array and Jin Mang.
The spot where a Guardian Gem should have been embedded on her chest was now pierced by a thorn-shaped new curse, producing dense blood pearls.
"My dear, why didn’t you send someone when the barrier was in turmoil..." Before Leonard could finish his sentence, Aelia's scepter came crashing down, enveloped in Ice and Fire Dual System Magic.
He instinctively raised his hand to block it; the collision between his new fingers and Zhang Jian unleashed a surge of purple-black energy that instantly melted the heart-shaped candlestick forged during their wedding twenty years ago into molten iron.
"Feeding my illegitimate child with my stardust?" Aelia's cold laughter caused the remaining Moonlight Butterfly Dust on the Window Lattice to flutter down.
She tore open the collar of her Dark Pattern garment, and a shattered Contract Emblem at her heart suddenly projected an image of Forbidden Valley—a masked woman cradling a black-haired infant who was sucking on baptismal implements embedded with a Guardian Gem.
Leonard's right hand cracked under unbearable strain as he caught sight of Luna’s silver moon swaddled in a cradle, glowing ominously with a gray light.
Suppressing the excruciating pain from his Bloodline Rebound, he reached out to tug at his wife's sleeve, where detection silver threads lay: "It must be the Dark Elf's scheming; you have to listen to me..."
The crisp sound of a slap startled the Contract Phantom hidden in the shadows.
Aelia, with her Dan Kou-dyed Ailya's White Nails, left five bleeding Prophecy Runes on the man Luna, the winding bloodstains automatically forming the word "Betrayer" in Ancient Elvish Language.
The Judgment Eye embedded at the top of the Scepter suddenly opened, projecting Yanzhi from three hundred miles away onto the windowsill between the two.
"What were you repairing in the northern barrier last year on this day?" Aelia's Fingertip condensed an ice spear that pierced through her husband's Dark Pattern Fabric, revealing a Bloodline Curse Mark connected to her illegitimate child at his Heart. "Do you remember swearing on Stardust during our wedding night when I used my Ancestral Relic to forge Baptismal Implements for that wildling?"
Leonard's Shadow Barrier exploded around him, shattering the ice spear into powder. He wiped away the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth and sneered, "The Glorious Demon Fortress needs a true Heir!"
"Look at those useless ones you've raised—" The Dark Pattern Cloak swept across the ground littered with Prism Shards, reflecting the black smoke billowing from the West Wing Alchemy Chamber. "The disabled Eldest Son, the cursed Second Son, and then there's the one obsessed with Black Magic..."
Suddenly, a massive hole was melted into the Gilded Door Frame by Corrosive Liquid.
The Third Young Master burst in, clutching a fragment of a Nurturing Artifact. Dark Purple Crystalline Liquid scorched a charred Star Trail into the Ground. "So you used a Shadow Creature to devour Mother's Guardian Power?" Behind him, his Wheelchair rolled over the chaos, and Young Master's Pale Fingertips lit up with a Backlash Mark that resonated with Leonard's right hand's Purple Light.
"Father..." The Second Young Master stumbled as he crashed into the overturned Starlight Stone Grooming table. His Palm Intimate Friend Badge manifested a Blood Curse that sprouted Thorns, forcing Leonard back three steps as he attempted to cast a Forgetfulness Spell. "The Black Market Forbidden Drug Hawk gave me—did you use it to..."
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly pierced through the chaos.
A silver moon wrapped around a baby girl floated towards the remains of the Crystal Chandelier, her small hand dusted with Scale Powder accurately striking the Shadow Watcher's Eye.
In that instant when the hidden Spell failed, the entire Magic Castle's Defensive Barrier emitted a dying hum reminiscent of Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum. The warm yellow light from the East Tower spread along Geomancy towards the Cellar.
Lucius took half a step back, his lower back colliding with a half piece of moonstone hidden beneath the Colored Window.
He gazed at the Emerging Nurturing Magic Pattern on Leonard's new fingers, suddenly becoming aware of the Night Blooming Rose in the garden—those shadowy Pollen clearly shared a source with the Gem Shards of the Baptismal Implements belonging to the illegitimate child.
"Stop it!" Leonard's Ailya's Roar shook loose the Contract Fragments from the beams above, as Shadow Energy swirled around him, forming a vortex of devouring light.
However, Aelia stepped forward into the storm, her bloodied Fingertip pressing against her husband's Heart Curse Mark. The Thorn Pattern instantly pierced through their skin: "Do you think that newly born flesh can withstand double backlash?"
A sound of shattering glass suddenly echoed from the windowsill entwined with Wisteria.
The Silver Plate holding Marriage Contract Ashes fell, and those Spider Web-like Shadow Embryos awakened upon contact with blood, transforming into countless howling Mini Demons that lunged at Leonard.
The man's right hand surged with Purple Light in an attempt to block them, but he was suddenly pulled to one knee by the backlash array activated by the Young Master.
Luna's silver strands silently wrapped around the remnants of the chandelier, as the Prophecy Rune emerging from the infant's Pupil imprinted the entire scene onto a magical scroll.
When Lucius finally touched the Tooth Mark on the moonstone, a sharp clang echoed from deep within the Cellar—the sound carried whispers of an Ancient Demon awakening, spreading through every corner via Geomancy and Zhen Chan.
The Ivy on the Castle Outer Wall suddenly wilted collectively, while the Magic Lily of the Valley at the patrol post turned blood red under Shan Na's influence.
Lucius hid the burning moonstone and heard chaotic footsteps approaching from the East Wing Corridor—the Third Young Lady's Emerald Earrings clashed rhythmically with the bloodied Intimate Friend Badge of the Second Young Master. Further away, the Barrier Nexus Crystal held by the butler finally shattered completely, sending splintered shards flying through Twilight, leaving countless scarlet Tracks in their wake.
Twilight twisted and contorted the shadows of the Magic Castle Spire, while tremors in the Main Hall shook the entire castle.
Servants squeezed into the Spiral Staircase Turn Corner, holding swaying Liuli Lanterns. The Magic Chef's apron dusted with Night Bloom powder was lifted by a gust of wind, and a Calming Potion on a Silver Tray reacted violently with Shadow Energy wafting through the corridor, exploding into several Azure Blue Sparks.
"Oh my God, my lady's Judgment Array Emblem is bleeding!" The Flower Room Maid gasped and stepped back in shock, knocking over a pot containing a Purple Crystal Cluster nurturing Dark Night Roses.
The earth surged forth with the remnants of the Contract Phantom, its translucent limbs frantically clawing at the stone bricks engraved with the Family Crest, as if something deep within the Geomancy was summoning the restless spirits.
Luna's Silver Silk Swaddle suddenly burst forth with Moon White radiance, purifying all the Shadow Embryos that were lunging towards Leonard.
The seemingly unintentional kicking motion of the infant girl caused the Cradle to collide with the Young Master's Wheelchair's rune pivot.
The metallic gears of Shan Na interlocked, and the long-dimmed Backlash Mark on the Wheelchair Armrest suddenly absorbed several strands of dissipating Judgment Jin Mang.
"Mother, please allow me to activate Star Trail Resonance." The Young Master Pale's fingers gripped the Wheelchair Armrest, as those Backlash Curses brushed by by Luna's silver threads began to seep out faint Golden Light Spots. "Although the binding of my Twin Legs cannot be lifted, the Curse Core at my Heart..." He suddenly groaned, pressing his hand against his chest, as the dark purple Curse Pattern faded half an inch under the erosion of the Golden Light Spots.
Aelia's blood-stained Scepter paused momentarily, and the Judgment Eye reflected the Eldest Son's Heart, where the Curse Chain was beginning to loosen.
This subtle change caused Leonard's shadow vortex to exhibit a momentary stagnation in Shan Na, as a new purple light from his fingertips uncontrollably flowed towards the runes of Eldest Son's Wheelchair.
"Brother!" The Third Young Master exclaimed as he threw out a dark purple crystal. The corrosive liquid traced a precise Arc in midair, severing Leonard's attempt to reclaim his Shadow Energy.
The liquid splashed onto the Remains of Xuan Tie Ma Che, and from the rising Zi Wu emerged hundreds of miniature Memory Frames—each depicting scenes of Leonard nurturing his illegitimate child in the Forbidden Valley.
The Second Young Master suddenly grasped his right hand entangled with a Blood Curse. The Intimate Friend Badge reflected within Zi Wu showed Hawk exchanging vials with Shadow Guard during Leonard's Last Night.
He crimsoned his eyes and pressed the badge into the bloodstains left in the Judgment Array. Those winding Bloodlines immediately transformed into revealing Thorns, surging towards the dark marketplace at Castle Exterior through Geomancy.
Luna emitted a joyful Yi Ya sound, her small hands splattering against the remnants of the Crystal Chandelier dusted with Scale Powder.
As she moved, silver threads quietly entwined several drifting strands of Shadow Energy, weaving them into a miniature model of Backlash Curse—this Spell structure could only be understood by the Young Master, perfectly resonating with the newly formed Jin Mang on his Wheelchair Armrest.
"Mother, please give me three minutes." The Young Master's wheelchair suddenly floated three inches off the ground, and the silver threads purified by Luna automatically entwined into the Star Trail Diagram.
Luna, pale from long illness, flushed with an unusual hue, releasing for the first time in twenty years the suppressed pressure of a Great Mage: "The backlash curse planted by Father has a core flaw in the mirrored Node of the Third Star Track..."
Leonard's Ailya's Roar was blocked by Aelia's Ice and Fire barrier. The Lady of the Fortress, with bloodied Fingertip, pointed at Eldest Son Mei Xin: "Use my Judgment Blood Pact as a medium." The newly formed Thorn-Shaped Curse on her chest suddenly surged, sending all approaching Shadow Servants flying.
The spinning Star Trail Diagram illuminated the entire Main Hall, as Luna's silver threads formed an intricate Moonlight Butterfly at the center of the formation.
When the Backlash Curse on the Young Master's wheelchair collided with Leonard's Purple Light at his knuckles, everyone saw a Contract Fragment floating deep within the Curse Core—marked with Aelia's youthful Guardian Spell.
"So that's how it is..." The Young Master chuckled softly, coughing up blood tinged with Jin Mang. Fingertip finally touched the deepest part of the curse—the Contract Mirror.
The Wheelchair Armrest shattered with a sound, and from the burst of golden light, a long-dormant Magical Talent began to awaken slowly along his Spine.
Luna ceased her Loud Cry from the remnants of the Crystal Chandelier, and the Prophecy Rune deep within the infant's Pupil quietly vanished.
She gazed at the gradually forming Starry Totem beneath the Young Master's wheelchair, a bubble filled with Magic Scale Powder escaping from her lips. The bubble floated toward the shattered Colored Window of the Main Hall Dome, and as it passed through the crack in the barrier, it suddenly reflected an exceptionally bright Track of the Northern Starry Sky in the Third Spiral Arm.
