Moonlight flowed through the Stained Glass, spilling onto the floor of the Nursery, as Luna clutched the Star Diamond in her Palm, beads of sweat forming.
She pretended to awkwardly bring the gem to her lips, but in reality, she struck the seventh facet with her Milk Tooth—causing the Dome Defensive Formation to respond and shatter the residual magic of the curse left by Brother San's Astrology Staff.
"Contract Reforged!" Second Brother suddenly shouted, as a Hexagram drawn in Dragon Blood rose from the Sheepskin Scroll.
Lucius, by the Cradle, suddenly opened his eyes wide. Jian Qiao shattered the curse's ice crystals that had formed in the Window Lattice, while the Thunderstorm Phoenix's Xu Ying swept toward their eldest brother, Mei Xin, carrying fragments of the Star Diamond.
Luna held her breath, staring at her brother's curled Left Leg.
As the patterns of the Star Moon Chain spread along his Magic Circuit to his ankle, that withered limb, which had been lifeless for three years, suddenly burst forth with Emerald Color light—signifying the awakening of a Great Mage from the Original.
"My Elemental Perception..." her brother trembled as he raised his wand; instead of black mist, Emerald Vines surged from Zhang Jian, entwining around Xing Hui.
As the vines brushed past Luna's Swaddling, she seized the opportunity to slip the Teething Stick, which concealed the Demon Breaking Stone, into his Palm.
Suddenly, a rainbow Aurora flooded into the Nursery, as the Magic Castle and Lineage Head Images sang in unison.
Aelia's Skirt swept away the ashes of fireworks from the Starfall Platform as she entered, just in time to see their Eldest Son's wand blossom with a Glory Rose that had been lost for a century.
"Mother!" all three sons knelt on one knee simultaneously.
Luna Yi Ya waved her small hand dusted with Star Diamond powder to draw everyone's attention outside—the twelve Silver-Winged Griffins were soaring over the Magic Castle Tower, heralding the arrival of royal envoys to offer their congratulations.
The celebratory Liuli Lanterns reflected so brightly that Luna could barely open her eyes.
She lay in Aelia's embrace, watching the Star Moon Chain sway in her mistress's hair and calculating her next move.
When Leonard raised his golden cup and declared he would personally teach their Eldest Son, she deliberately spilled juice onto his sleeve embroidered with Dark Patterns.
"Lord This dress..." Qin Si paused suddenly while wiping the stain.
Luna noticed Maid staring at the rolled-up lining—there, half of an Iris Embroidered Shoes was revealed, the emblem of the Outsider Family from the Original.
As the Midnight Bell chimed, Luna was cradled back into the Cradle adorned with moonlight silk.
She Pretend to be sound asleep, her ears perked up to catch any sounds from outside the window.
When the scent of Qin Si Te wafted through the corridor, the baby suddenly erupted into a heart-wrenching Loud Cry.
"How did the young lady get Ye Lu on her?" The hurried Qin Si checked the swaddling blanket.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna kicked the Tracking Crystal she had hidden in her dress into the Dark Compartment, which she had stuck to the hem of the other’s skirt with saliva three hours ago.
The door to the Nursery was suddenly pushed open.
Aelia walked in, covered in Xing Hui, her Neck necklace glimmering subtly at her collar.
Luna reached out her small hand to grab the lady's flowing Hair, using the tugging motion to draw attention—Qin Si was stuffing a Scent Pouch embroidered with Iris into her sleeve pocket.
Aelia’s Fingertip traced the edge of the Scent Pouch, its icy crystal-like Luna rolling down along the Window Lattice, refracting Memory Fragments in the moonlight.
Five years ago, at the Leonard Triumph banquet, she had seen this exotic totem—he had explained that it was a decorative pattern from spoils of war.
"Madam, the Starfall Platform requires your signature..." Qin Si entered holding an Ink Bottle, her voice abruptly cut off.
She stared at the opened Scent Pouch, and suddenly, the scent of Jasmine Scent became overwhelming; remnants of the Tracking Crystal powder fluttered down from her trembling Wrist.
"The Starry Silk Ribbon sent by the Third Young Master." At that moment, Lucius barged in, finding Ailia entwined with Qin Si's wrist, the Silver Thread embroidered with the Glory Rose.
The cursed ice crystal at Ailia's end suddenly came to life, climbing along the Iris pattern to form a clear Evidence Chain—distinctly the Magic Mark of the Lover's Knot.
Luna's grinding teeth echoed at just the right moment.
Aelia swung the Star Moon Chain, slicing through the void. Within the folded space-time emerged the mirrored figures of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine in their Tryst: his Battle Robe's Lining with the Iris Logo glowed in the alley, resonating with the Qian Si Aroma Pouch to form a Teleportation Circle's Coordinate.
Snow began to fall from Dawn's Magic Castle Dome.
Aelia stood on the Astrology Platform, watching as the ice crystals melted into the Oath Water exchanged thirteen years ago during their wedding.
As Leonard stepped out from the Teleportation Circle with Ye Lu Han Qi, she raised her hand and splashed the Oath Water into the void, causing Seven-colored Dewdrops to instantly freeze into hundreds of Prisms.
"Explain." The Prisms refracted three hundred sixty-five Iris Logos, while Aelia's wand blossomed with an Ice Crystal Rose, vines wrapping around her husband's Golden Belt.
The Secret Letter that fell from his belt, Ankeli, was caught by the wind, revealing Leonard's Concubine's delicate Tiny Inscriptions expressing longing during her pregnancy.
Leonard's defense was laced with Tequila fumes: "The pressure of a Royal Marriage..." Before he could finish, an Ice Spike pierced his throat, and Aelia's Star Moon Chain crushed the Glory Badge on his chest.
All Crystal Chandeliers in the Magic Castle suddenly exploded simultaneously; this was a surge from the Mistress that triggered an Elemental Tide.
"Father!" The eldest brother rushed in to mediate but was knocked to the ground.
His newly awakened Emerald Vines instinctively protected Luna but inadvertently unraveled Leonard's hidden Iris Seal within Ankeli—the very seal that had caused Second Brother's Magic Dilemma three years ago due to a Curse Contract.
The Xing Hui descending from the Banquet Hall Dome suddenly stained crimson.
Aelia severed the skirt adorned with Black Roses, and the fragments transformed into countless Ice Butterflies that flitted towards Leonard.
As the Ice Butterflies shattered against the Fire Barrier he conjured, Luna suddenly let out a sharp Loud Cry—her neck emerging with a Curse Pattern identical to that of Second Brother from years past.
"Are you scheming even against infants?" Aelia's furious shout shattered twelve Colored Glazed Windows.
Lucius and Jian Qiao rushed to investigate, plunging into the Earth Rift, as lightning coursed up Jian Wen and enveloped Leonard's Boots.
The Lord staggered back, his reflection mirrored in the shards of glass, each fragment reflecting different angles of the Iris Logo.
When the Midnight Bell tolled again, Luna's Loud Cry morphed into an eerie laughter.
Clutching the Star Diamond she had torn from her elder brother's vine, she refracted light onto Second Brother's waist, where an Old Scar emerged—half of a Contract Totem branded by a dear friend was currently resonating with the Iris Logo.
As Honeyed Wine rippled in the Silver Flask, the Amber Amulet at Second Brother's fingertip suddenly grew hot.
He stared at the Dark Pattern swimming in the reflection of the Wine Liquid, momentarily recalling three years ago when his dear friend held up a Dragon Blood Wine Cup—on that day they had sat in the Southwest Corner of the banquet hall, and his friend had patted his thin shoulders with a hand adorned with a Jade Ring, saying, "The Contract is sealed; we shall never betray each other."
"So Father also uses the Iris Seal to sign Contracts," Second Brother mused lightly as he stroked the Old Scar on his waist, his falling bangs obscuring the glimmering ice crystal at the corner of his eye.
Outside, amidst the sound of Night Owls shattering Feng Ling, he inexplicably pressed the Amulet close to Luna's Cradle. The infant's unaware little hands accidentally pressed down on the Hexagram Ke Hen at the center of the Amber.
"Boom!"
The Amulet suddenly exploded into Xing Xu, sending Second Brother tumbling into the Liuli Fragments.
He stared blankly at the swirling Contract Fragment in midair; those runes that had once been consumed by dark magic when deceived by his dear friend now perfectly fit together with Father's Outsider Family's Iris Logo.
Brother San's Astrology Staff erupted with a Strong Light at that moment.
He stood at the edge of the Starfall Platform, overturned by Aelia's magic, gazing at the Emerald Star Pattern swirling around his elder brother. Suddenly, he thrust the tip of his staff heavily into the crack.
The twelve Star Diamonds embedded in the Staff Tip lit up simultaneously, projecting his long-neglected Celestial Chart onto the Dome—what was once a dim Sirius Position now emerged with an Emerald Vortex reminiscent of his brother's awakening.
"So my talent has never been wrong." Brother San tugged at the collar embroidered with Magic Patterns, revealing the Heart Emerging Star Moon Chain mark.
The starlight he gathered at his Fingertip suddenly surged, shaking off a century's worth of dust from the Astrology Staff into Powder—this was a true sign of the Astrologer's Bloodline awakening.
As Lucius's Thunder Sword Pattern traced its third circle on the Wall Tile, he finally noticed that the Defensive Formation of the Southeast Tower had begun to flow backward.
He stepped through the Emerald Corridor on the Thunderstorm Phoenix's Xu Ying, while ice crystals swept away by Jian Qiao coalesced behind him into a Warning Rune.
Upon seeing Second Brother curled up in the Contract Fragment, chuckling softly, Brother San's Astrology Staff uncontrollably absorbed energy from the Starfall Platform. He decisively cut his Palm and smeared blood on the blade.
"Glory Is My Life!" Lucius roared, his voice wrapped in thunder as it struck towards the Main Hall, attempting to forcibly stabilize the rampaging Elemental Tide with Family Oath Magic.
However, when the sword light collided with Aelia's lingering Ice Crystal Rose, it refracted into seven hundred and twenty Iris Xu Ying—each Xu Ying emerging with different periods of Leonard, his Battle Robe Lining Emblem growing clearer with time.
Luna's Teething Stick rolled under a fragment of Liuli Lantern, and the tip coated with Honeyed Wine suddenly began to inscribe Ancient Magic Script.
She looked at her Dispel Array drawn without Awareness, her Emerald Eyes narrowing slightly—this was clearly an Abyss Purification Technique that would only appear in later stages of Original, now emerging ahead of time alongside her family's awakening.
"Third Young Master!
Your Star Pattern!" Qin Si's terrified Qian Jiao echoed from the Emerald Corridor.
Brother San looked down to see the Heart Chain devouring the energy of the Celestial Chart, as the awakened Astrologer and the curse that had misled him for years finally clashed head-on.
Instinctively, he drove the Astrology Staff into the area beneath his collarbone, using the most painful method to stay awake. The Blood Pearl that Zhang Jian had provoked traced a fragmented Star Trail in the void.
Suddenly, Second Brother struggled to crawl toward Luna's Cradle.
When his bloodied fingertip touched the infant Mei Xin, the Contract's Dark Pattern that had plagued him for three years retracted back into his wound like a living creature. "So you are the true medium for breaking the curse..." he chuckled bitterly, tearing open his garment and allowing Luna's small hand to rest on the Emerging Iris Brand—once branded by a dear friend, it was now dissolving with Father’s lover, Emblem Resonance.
Lucius's Jian Wen suddenly let out a mournful cry.
The backlash from the Southeast Tower's Defensive Formation had already formed a Magic Vortex, swallowing all the thunder he had used to stabilize the situation.
He gazed at Aelia still battling the Ice Crystal Rose in the Main Hall, then turned back to Brother San, drenched in blood at the edge of the Starfall Platform. Ultimately, he plunged the Thunder Sword into his left shoulder—awakening the guardian spirit of Magic Castle's First Patriarch at the cost of self-harm.
"Glory shall never be tarnished!" The translucent Silver Knight rose from a crack in the Peacock Stone Tiles, its heavy sword cleaving through the Elemental Tide.
However, when the guardian spirit's Jian Feng touched Leonard's residual Golden Belt, those Iris Logos suddenly erupted with crimson light—the Outsider Family's curse had already seeped into the very foundation of Magic Castle.
Luna's Loud Cry abruptly transformed into Qing Yue's chant.
She clutched the Star Diamond torn from her elder brother’s vine, letting Emerald Blood flow along its gem facets.
As the Blood Pearl completed the last stroke of Ancient Magic Script, an all-encompassing Purification Array emerged from the Nursery’s Peacock Stone Tiles—this was her Abyssal Sacrifice Technique forcibly activated using an infant’s defenseless soul as a tribute.
Brother San's Celestial Chart trembled violently within the array's light; the misguided Star Trail was forcibly redirected onto its proper path. Second Brother’s Heart Iris Brand twisted into Ashes like snow meeting boiling oil within the Purification Array; even Aelia's Star Moon Chain, frozen in her hair, began to flow anew with Yin Hui, crushing each Iris Xu Ying one by one.
Lucius knelt half-heartedly at the center of the formation eye, watching as his blood flowing from his left shoulder was absorbed into gold by the Formation Diagram.
As he looked up at Luna's Cradle, the baby's Emerald Color Pupil reflected all the secrets of the Magic Castle—those hidden contracts within the armor, the agreements slumbering behind the Image, and even the Taboo sealed within the First Patriarch Jian Qiao, all laid bare within the Purification Array.
The last snowflake of Dawn melted on Aelia's Fingertip.
She stood on the now tranquil Starfall Platform, gazing at the lingering purple embers of the Southeast Tower.
From Luna's swaddling came a rhythmic grinding sound, her small hands dusted with Star Diamond powder unconsciously drawing a new Formation Diagram on the moonlit fabric—an ancient spell more complex than the Abyssal Purification Spell, its edges faintly emerging with the outline of an Iris.
Luna's Fingertip traced the final arc of light on the moonlit fabric, as Emerald Color Blood Pearl quietly seeped into the Fabric along the lines of the ancient spell.
The remnants of the Purification Array danced on her eyelashes, reflecting the fading purple embers of the Magic Castle Dome.
The Star Trail Chains at Brother San's Collarbone were rearranging, each rotating star producing a crisp sound reminiscent of an Astrology Staff striking crystal.
As Aelia bent down to pick up her daughter, ice crystals from her Hair Tips fell into the swaddling.
Seizing the moment, Luna pressed her Star Diamond-dusted hand against her Mother's Neck necklace, and suddenly, the cold Chain Pendant emerged with a Soul Imprint from Three Hundred Years Ago belonging to the First Patriarch—this was indeed the key medium to unraveling Iris's curse in the Original.
"Madam, the Defensive Formation of Southeast Tower..." Lucius's voice, wrapped in echoes of thunder, came from the Emerald Corridor.
The golden Bloodstain on his left shoulder shimmered oddly in the dawn's Red Glow. As Jian Qiao passed over Peacock Stone Tiles, remnants of guardian spirit fragments gathered with each step to form a new Warning Rune.
Suddenly, Luna coughed violently, her fragile throat expelling foam laced with Xing Mang.
In a hurried moment as Aelia cast a Healing Spell, an Emerald Color Halo illuminated a hidden Groove inside her necklace—where the First Patriarch's Ring lay dormant, now resonating with the ancient spell still wet within Luna's Swaddling.
Brother San's Astrology Staff suddenly levitated on its own.
He gazed at the spinning Twelve Star Diamond, noticing that the Emerald Vortex of Sirius Position was devouring the light of other stars.
As he reached out to intervene, the Star Trail Chains of Heart suddenly tightened, forcibly linking the energy of his newly awakened Astrologer Bloodline with the Magic Fortress Defense Array.
Second Brother leaned against the shattered Colored Glazed Window, chuckling softly, while Fingertip absentmindedly stroked the now-vanished Contract Mark.
The remnants of Honeyed Wine dripped from his Wrist, pooling on the Ground into small Purple Puddles—reflections faintly revealing the Emerging Outer Chamber Family Mansion's Castle Spire, with the Feng Ling hanging at the Eaves Corner swaying in sync with the Wind Sound of the Magic Castle Corridor.
As Lucius turned to check the Defensive Formation, the Xu Ying of Thunderstorm Phoenix suddenly let out a mournful cry on his Jian Wen.
Instinctively, he tilted his head to evade an attack that wasn't there, but this movement caused Jian Qiao to shatter the ice crystals condensed in the shadow of the Obsidian Pillar.
Tiny Ice Shards splattered near Luna's Cradle, refracting seven barely noticeable Iris Light Spots in the morning light.
Aelia's Star Moon Chain suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
She looked down to see that the Soul Imprint on the surface of the Chain Pendant was fading. The Projection of First Patriarch's Ring lingered in the air for half a second, precisely pointing towards a simple Formation Diagram drawn in saliva on the inside of Luna's swaddling—its edges adorned with Iris patterns gradually becoming visible as the Nursery Temperature rose.
When the first rays of sunlight pierced through the Stained Glass, the final energy fluctuations of the Purification Array awakened the slumbering Image of the Magic Castle.
The dignified visage of First Patriarch frowned within the Frame; his heavy sword pointed directly at Lucius, who stood in the Southeast Tower Core of the Defensive Array zone.
The Image's Lips moved soundlessly, while only paint dripping from the Sword Tip bled a dangerous crimson onto the canvas.
