The delicate sound of the Ice Crystal Hairpin falling startled Aelia awake.
She bent down to pick up the Token of Love, crafted by Leonard on their wedding day, its pin adorned with an Ice Spirit Stone that still held the frozen remnants of the snow Pine Branch they had broken off during their first meeting.
Luna looked up at Mother’s trembling Fingertip and suddenly reached out to grasp her dangling Pearl Earrings.
“Cool... cool...” The baby's indistinct Lullaby Voice wrapped around the fragments of Star Sand, exploding into a complete sentence in Aelia's ear: “The third layer of the Cellar, the Oak Barrel bears the Violet Emblem.”
Aelia stumbled against the Liujin bed frame of the Four-Poster Bed, the carved pillars depicting their wedding scene digging painfully into her lower back.
Twenty Years Ago, Leonard's Last Night in the rose garden had suddenly cracked—he had said that violets were a family Taboo because the Mistress of the First Generation Fortress Master loved that flower most.
“How does Luna know about the Cellar...” Before she could finish her sentence, the baby's Chubby Palm suddenly pressed against her Heart.
Yin Sha flowed along her Bloodline, coalescing into a miniature Peering Magic Pattern at her Collarbone.
As Leonard held the woman in the Purple Skirt and kissed her Oak Barrel on Leonard's Last Night, the blooming Violet Emblem on the barrel wall overlapped with the Family Crest on the Castle Lord's Signet Ring.
“The Star Moon Crown left by Mother can break all illusions.” Luna rubbed her forehead against Aelia’s Neck adorned with a Moonstone Necklace, her Baby Voice carrying the weight of a Great Mage’s authority. “Do you smell the scent of Nightingale Grass clinging to his cuffs?
That is an illusion meant to mask the Violet Fragrance.”
Aelia suddenly broke into a violent Cough, tears leaking from her fingers and spreading dark stains on the Persian Velvet Blanket.
She recalled how Leonard had said he was going to inspect the Eastern Boundary Barrier last night, yet returned with his cloak stained with pollen from Nightingale Grass found only in greenhouses.
At that time, Qin Si had tried to help him change but had accidentally cut his Fingertip with a Wind Blade Technique.
The Mother-of-pearl Dressing Mirror suddenly reflected a bizarre scene from Leonard's Last Night.
Luna's Star Moon Crown emitted a beam of Yin Hui, splitting the reflection in the mirror into countless Memory Fragments—Twenty Years Ago, Leonard pressed his fingerprint onto the Marriage Certificate with Cedar Sap on their wedding night; Fifteen Years Ago, during the Magic Surge, he grasped the raging fire element with his bare hands; Three Months Ago, he said he would undergo Closed Door Training but teleported away at midnight using a Space Scroll...
"Why is it violet..." Aelia crushed three pearls, and Blood Pearl dripped through her fingers into the center of the magic array.
The Tears of Marriage Vow frozen in the Judgment Array suddenly boiled, evaporating the loving illusions of Twenty Years into acrid mist.
She staggered to support herself against the bay window and saw that the magic lights in the West Tower were still on—that was the Confession Room where the Second Son had imprisoned himself after being deceived by a close friend.
Suddenly, Luna let out a sharp Loud Cry.
The Guardian Beast Xu Ying around the Cradle simultaneously raised its head to Chang Xiao, and the Sound Wave shattered the Memory Crystal of Grooming platform Ankeli.
As the purple mist rose, Aelia saw Leonard cradling the Illegitimate Child in his lap, and the Flame Birthmark on the child's neck was identical to the Curse Mark misled San Zi.
"Madam!" The moment Qin Si burst through the door, the Willow Parchment in Luna's hand spontaneously ignited.
Ashes pieced together Leonard's modified Inheritance Clause above the magic array—territories under the names of three Legitimate Sons were marked with "Magic Defector has no inheritance rights" as a Magic Restriction.
Aelia tore off her Pearl Necklace and hurled it toward the center of the magic array, and the exploding moonlight illuminated the Bedroom brightly.
When the last ray of light extinguished, she had donned her Battle Robe from her wedding day, and an Ice Crystal Hairpin formed into a cold sword in her palm: "Go summon Third Young Master Lucius to bring the Astrological Compass to the rose garden—tell him Mother needs to borrow the abandoned Astrology Platform."
Luna watched her mother's resolute figure and released a bubble shimmering with moonlight.
The bubble pierced through stone walls and floated toward the East Tower, bursting into a Star Map on the Eldest Son's Wheelchair Armrest.
The young man on the Wheelchair suddenly tightened his grip on the Dragon Crystal Stone embedded in the armrest, and after years of silence, his Magic Circuit began to flow slowly.
When Aelia's Ice Sword pressed against Leonard's throat, a sudden roar erupted from the Castle Cellar as an Oak Barrel exploded.
Violet Juice seeped into the drainage channel, staining twenty Marriage Oath Contracts a filthy Crimson Purple.
The Castle Lord's Signet Ring trembled violently at the center of the Star Map, as the Ring Face and Family Crest were being crushed layer by layer by the rapidly growing roots of the Moonlight Rose.
"Father!"
A dull thud echoed from the direction of the tower as a Heavy Object fell to the ground.
Luna clung to the edge of the Cradle, her eyes wide as she saw her brother's Wheelchair stuck at the corner of the spiral staircase. The newly sprouted Ice Crystal Rose on the Wheelchair Armrest pierced through the young man's palm, where a scab from a magical Backlash Wound had formed.
The sound of the Wheelchair grinding over shattered Crystal pierced through the stagnant air.
Her brother's Pale knuckles gripped the armrest tightly, black Purple Veins spreading from his neck to his Hand Back due to magical backlash.
He attempted to accelerate the Wheelchair using his damaged Magic Circuit, but as he passed through the spiral staircase, he was suddenly pierced in the Palm by an emerging Ice Crystal Rose.
"Mother... don't touch him!" The young man's hoarse scream was laced with Blood Stench. As the Wheelchair tipped over with a thunderous crash, exploding Ice Shards severed his silver chain that held back his hair.
A Thorn formed from Magic Backlash suddenly erupted from his Spine, winding into a painful blood-colored totem on the Gilded Floor Tiles—an elemental seal that had gone berserk fifteen years ago resonated at this moment with the Violet Fragrance from Father’s sleeve.
The Ice Sword at Leonard's Neck suddenly trembled, and Aelia's Battle Robe’s Moonlight Emblem dimmed by a third.
The Castle Lord's Signet Ring screeched amidst the pool of Violet Juice, and in that instant when the Ring Face shattered, a deafening sound of chains breaking echoed from the direction of the West Tower.
"So you knew all along..." Second Brother Ailya stepped over the Ashes of Magic Restriction, blood seeping from the Thorned Contract tattoo left by his close friend on his ankle.
He held the shattered Confession Room candlestick in his arms, as Zhu Lei formed sharp crystalline edges in Palm. "I thought my close friend had swapped the Contract Scroll, but I never expected that those Magic Traps' Curse carried your Magic Brand."
Brother San's Thunderball in Hand suddenly went out of control, and the violent Dazzling Lightning scorched a Scorch Mark on the wall's Family Portrait.
The young man gazed at the Image of his Father guiding him in his training, a suppressed laugh bubbling up in his throat. "You said I was destined to learn Shadow Magic; it turns out it was to conceal my true Light Affinity—after all, Light Magic can pierce through all Hidden Spells!"
Luna's Crystal Pacifier suddenly burst forth with Silver Light, and the Star Sand beneath the Cradle automatically gathered into a buffering magic array.
The Thorn at Eldest Brother's Spine softened abruptly as it touched the edge of the magic array, transforming into Healing Vines that carried the scent of cedar.
Aelia's Ice Sword let out a cracking sound at that moment—Leonard's Marriage Certificate Remnant Page, which had flipped out from his sleeve, was devouring the power of the Moonlight Rose.
"Madam, watch out!" Qin Si suddenly lunged forward to pull Aelia away.
The Healing Art from the maid's Palm collided with the splattering Violet Venom, instantly scorching a skull-shaped Scar on her Hand Back.
The Ice Sword clattered to the ground, shattering into nine Crescent Darts that pinned Leonard against the Basalt wall engraved with the Family Motto.
Aelia staggered to support her Eldest Son's Wheelchair, the hem of her Battle Robe brushing against the young man's still-bleeding Palm.
When Mother’s cool Moonstone fingers touched the wound, Eldest Brother suddenly trembled violently—the magical energy that had not flowed for fifteen years was breaking through the blood clot formed by backlash.
"Mother, look!" Brother San suddenly pointed at the ceiling in shock.
In the Dome’s Family Star Map, three Main Stars symbolizing the Legitimate Son were entwined by Zi Wu, while the Frost Nova quietly glowing in the Southeast Corner bore the Flame Mark of an Illegitimate Child.
Second Brother suddenly thrust the Prism Candelabrum forcefully into the floor.
The gloomy magic brought by the Confession Room spread like ink, dyeing his ankle with the toxic hue of deep blue from the Thorned Contract. "Father, do you know what I saw that night when my dear friend pushed me into the Curse Array, lying in a pool of blood?" The young man tore open his shirt, revealing in the Heart's Emerging Magic Mirror the shocking image of Leonard handing the Space Scroll to his "dear friend" on Leonard's Last Night.
Luna's Pupil suddenly constricted into the shape of Xing Mang.
A silver halo erupted around the infant, dispersing the room filled with Zi Wu. The Crystal Baby Bottle suspended in mid-air spilled Hot Goat Milk, which unexpectedly formed a Dispel Rune in the air.
As the rune landed on Second Brother's Heart, those Eerie Blue Thorns suddenly bloomed into Moonlight Roses, pulling back the strands of his devoured magical power into his body.
Leonard let out a low growl like a cornered beast.
The Crescent Darts pinning him down began to melt, and the Blood Oath on the Marriage Certificate and Remnant Page slithered toward Aelia like a living snake.
The Purple-Black magic erupting from Lord shattered the Basalt walls, finally tearing apart the disguise of the Forbidden Arts he had secretly practiced for twenty years.
"Mother, be careful!" Brother San's Shadow Chain collided with the holy light produced by true Light Affinity, creating a strange Rainbow.
In the chaotic energy flow, the young man suddenly saw clearly his Source of Magic—his light and dark dual affinity talent deliberately twisted by Father—beginning to merge under his sister's Star Sand influence.
Qin Si endured excruciating pain as he pushed Aelia toward Luna's Guardian Array.
The bloodstained Handkerchief dropped at the edge of the formation, triggering the hidden Healing Magic Rune on the Automatic Activation of Infant Swaddling.
As a faint Golden Radiance washed over Aelia and Pale Luna, her earlobe pearls suddenly reformed into a complete shape of Tears of Marriage Vow.
"Enough!" Aelia suddenly grasped the melting Crescent Darts.
As blood dripped from the cold Ice Blade, the Battle Armor components sealed within her Star Moon Crown during her wedding began to awaken.
As the crisp sound of the Chest Armor fastening startled the Night Owl of Castle Exterior, a beam of light, reminiscent of a galaxy, suddenly shot forth from the long-silent Astrology Platform atop the West Tower.
Luna let out a soft Giggling.
When the Teething Stick held by the infant fell, it rolled out an unusual Track amidst the chaos on the ground.
As the Teething Stick collided with the Marriage Contract Fragment at Leonard's feet, a roar akin to glacial movement reverberated through the castle's foundation—hundreds of Violet Emblem Oak Barrels deep within the Cellar exploded simultaneously, and the aged Poisoned Wine surged through the Magic Pipeline toward various locations of the Core of the Barrier.
Suddenly, Leonard's Wheelchair was lifted by Star Sand.
The young man gazed at his gradually regaining consciousness in his Twin Legs, and poured all fifteen years of accumulated magic into his Mother Battle Armor: "Please allow me... to call you Father one last time." As the Healing Vines at his spine grew wildly into a Vine Cage, Leonard's Space Scroll that he had drawn from his sleeve was tightly ensnared by the Root System of the Moonlight Rose.
The Star Sand beneath the Cradle suddenly coalesced into an Ancient Magic Circle.
Luna looked out at the distorting Castle Barrier, exhaling a bubble wrapped in ice crystals.
As the bubble floated toward the beam of light from the Astrology Platform, everyone's hearts suddenly began to Emerging with identical Starry Marks—a temporary alliance forged by the Great Mage Reincarnator, silently Burning in the moonlight.
Luna's eyelashes were still dusted with fragments of Star Sand, and her grape-like dark eyes reflected the shattered Star Map of the collapsing dome.
She suddenly clenched her fists, and the Crescent Moon Birthmark emerging on her infant's hand absorbed all of the drifting Star Sand.
These particles, shimmering with a Red Glow, intertwined above the Cradle, forming shapes of ancient runes—exactly like those recorded in ancient texts for breaking magical backlash: "Star Pulse Resonance Array."
"Mother, the geomancy is lamenting," Lucius's voice echoed from within the shadows of the spiral staircase.
The eighteen-year-old youth clutched the broken Astrolabe, bloodied bandages tangled in his silver hair—punishment for questioning the truth behind Father’s seclusion three days ago.
He stepped down, crushing the writhing Violet Vines on the floor, his short boots adorned with luminous crystals sizzling as the venom corroded them.
The Moonlight Emblem on Aelia's Battle Armor suddenly flared, incinerating the Marriage Certificate and Remnant Page that attempted to ambush her into Ashes.
She turned to see the Young Child in Hand, the Astrological Compass flickering. Her Pupil dilated sharply: "You activated the Astrology Platform that has been abandoned for sixty years?"
"It was Luna's bubble that revealed the Underground Altar." Lucius raised his hand to catch the falling Star Sand, those Light Spots assembling a blueprint of his elder brother's Magic Circuit on his Palm.
Suddenly, the youth flipped the compass and drove the Pointer forcefully into his Left Eye—what should have bled instead surged forth Silver Blue Xing Hui, projecting the intertwined light and dark Magic Veins within Brother San into the air.
Second Brother suddenly clutched his Heart and groaned.
The returning magical energy abruptly stagnated, with Moonlight Roses and Eerie Blue Thorns forming a tug-of-war at his Magic Source.
Luna immediately expelled a bubble wrapped in Milk Fragrance, landing precisely on Second Brother's ankle where the Contract Pattern lay—saliva soaked in Star Sand instantly dissolved the last remnants of the curse.
"Does Father even intend to use his own son's eyes?" Lucius's bloodied bandage fluttered without wind, his Right Eye glowing with dawn-like brilliance.
The Astrological Compass in his hand disassembled and reformed into the Judgment Gun left by the First Generation Fortress Master. "Back then, you deceived me into studying Astrology; it turns out it was to make my Pupil a living crystal for monitoring the Castle Barrier!"
Leonard let out a chaotic roar from his throat, as the Space Scroll entwined by Moonlight Rose and its Root System suddenly oozed Hei Xue.
A colossal sound like glaciers shattering echoed from the Castle Outer Wall, while Poisoned Wine surged from the Cellar but evaporated upon touching Luna's Cradle—the Moonstone Necklace around the infant's neck resonated with the light column of the Astrology Platform, purifying the deadly poison into a mist scented with cedar.
Suddenly, elder brother stood up from his Wheelchair.
Behind him, the newly sprouted Healing Vines intertwined to form a starry Wing. For the first time in fifteen years, the unleashed magic stirred a Frost Snow storm. "So my fire element went berserk because you ignited the Anshen Incense mixed with Violet Ash in my Meditation Room," the young man said, each word causing a shard of ice crystallized with dark purple residue to materialize in the air.
Brother San's fusion of light and dark had reached a critical moment, and beads of sweat on his forehead transformed into half-light, half-dark pearls as they fell.
Suddenly, Luna emitted an urgent sound, her chubby little hands reaching out to grasp at the void. To everyone's astonishment, a Remnant Page of the Light and Dark Codex, destroyed by Leonard twenty years ago, flew out from a crack in the wall and landed steadily on Brother San's trembling palm.
"Enough! Stop it!" Aelia's Leonard's Boots shattered the Dark Compartment beneath the Peacock Stone Tiles, and long-sealed Tears of Marriage Vow rose from the fissures.
The gem that had solidified with twenty years of moonlight suddenly projected a vivid image of Leonard's Last Night—the night he mixed Leonard's Concubine's blood into Cedar Sap. The First Consort's Violet Emblem had already been stamped on the back of the Contract during their oath.
Luna's pupil suddenly reflected a double-layered Xing Mang.
She pretended to reach for the Teething Stick by the Cradle but "accidentally" knocked over a Silver Bowl filled with Star Sand.
The flowing Star Sand formed a crooked pattern on the Ground, perfectly aligning with the missing part of the Defensive Formation etched within Aelia's Battle Armor.
As Lucius's Judgment Gun pierced through the last Remnant Page of the Marriage Certificate, an explosive sound echoed from the Castle Exterior as all Nightingale Grass collectively withered.
In the rose garden shrouded in Moonlight Rain mist, all Violet Emblems faded into Pale Moonlight Roses under the soaking Star Sand. Meanwhile, Luna's Hand Back bore traces of Star Sand that had yet to dry, subtly revealing the outline of the next crucial clue: the Serpent Pattern Box on the top floor of the Library of Hidden Books.
