The construction diagram at the top of the secret passage trembled violently in a crimson hue, as Aelia's skirt, stained with Ice Crystal Fragments, swept across Luna's face.
The infant curled up against Qin Si's heaving chest, her eyelashes flecked with the Blood Pearls that splattered from Mother. She heard a strange buzzing sound as the Ice Blade pierced flesh.
"Madam!" Qin Si staggered to avoid the suddenly cracking Earth Rift, the tendrils of a man-eating flower writhing in through the ventilation above. "The young lady's swaddling is glowing!"
Aelia felt the liquid from her Wedding Ring suddenly flow back into her wound. Pressing against the stone wall where the Star Map was emerging, she shouted, "It's the Magic Castle's defense system rebounding—" Before she could finish, the entire wall engraved with Magic Patterns collapsed, revealing an inverted banquet hall outside, where a Crystal Chandelier swung like a meteor hammer toward the Knight.
Luna suddenly grasped Qin Si's silver Chain, using her last bit of magic to etch the Star Map into a Jade Pendant.
Before the starlight in the infant's pupils completely extinguished, her elder brother's Wheelchair crashed through, crushing the roots of the man-eating flower as it entered, and its Wheelchair Armrest ejected twenty-three hidden weapon compartments.
"Mother, news has come from the East Tower..." Her elder brother's Mechanical Prosthetic held a blood-stained piece of gold leaf, which was a message exclusive to the Lord. "It says Father encountered a Fire Dragon Horde while patrolling the border..."
Aelia's Ice Crystal Dagger suddenly emitted a sound like Dragon Scales scraping together. She glared at the slanted Family Crest on the gold leaf and sneered, "This Fire Seal uses an old mold from three years ago." The liquid melting from her Wedding Ring suddenly enveloped the Wheelchair, causing all seven Location Crystals hidden within Ankeli to explode into dust.
Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly spewed black mist, its Pointer wildly pointing at the ceiling. "Mother! The Weapon Vault from the Training Ground is moving this way!" The boy threw out his Watch Chain to ensnare the falling chandelier; astonishingly, the Alchemical Formula emerging on it perfectly matched Luna's Star Map.
"Get back!" Aelia's skirt suddenly expanded into a Defensive Barrier as Twelve Rays of Ice Spikes pierced through a Magic Puppet that had crawled in from the Ventilation Duct.
She tore off Second Brother's Waist Space Bag and dumped out twenty bottles of different colored Magic Potions onto the spinning floor. "Someone has tampered with the castle's spatial Coordinates!"
Luna let out a Loud Cry as the Star Map Pendant on Qin Si’s chest began to burn.
When the tears of the infant fell upon the Wedding Ring, the liquid suddenly solidified into a Micro Sandglass—exactly the style of the token that Leonard had given to Mistress last year.
"Mother!" Second Brother suddenly pressed down on Aelia's trembling hand. "If Father truly... please allow me to go to the border to confirm..." Before he could unfold the positioning scroll hidden in his sleeve, Aelia pinned it to the wall with her Ice Crystal Dagger, embedding it in the Star Map.
Aelia's Pearl Earring suddenly burst open, and the flying pearl powder formed a map of the border in midair. "Your Father just sent a gift of Ailya's Birthday Rune to the Fire Dragon King last month." She wiped the Blood Pearl from Luna's eyelashes, her Fingertip tracing a Detection Spell on the infant's forehead. "The ink of this obituary is mixed with bioluminescent algae from the East Coast—"
Before she could finish, the entire castle erupted with a roar like that of a waking dragon.
The armor from the Training Ground crashed through the Colored Window, each suit engraved with Leonard's Magical Signature.
Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly projected real-time footage of the border—the Fire Dragon Horde was heading toward the castle to express their gratitude.
"Mother, the Death Knell from North Tower..." Eldest Brother's Mechanical Prosthetic shot out a grappling hook to ensnare the incoming magical Lava. "Should we strike?"
Aelia tucked Luna into an Anti-Magic Swaddle made by Qin Si Te, and the liquid from the Wedding Ring suddenly flowed into the driving core of her Wheelchair.
As the Ice Crystal Dagger pierced through a crack in the flipped floor, everyone heard Ailya's Roar echoing from the abyss—a sound from Three Hundred Years Ago, belonging to the First Generation Fortress Master.
"Replace the Edelweiss in the mourning hall with Artichoke." Aelia's Skirt swept across a floor littered with Puppet Remains, and a blood-stained construction blueprint suddenly wrapped around a fleeing Messaging Gold Leaf. "Since someone wishes to hold a funeral—" She crushed the ice crystals underfoot, her Pupil reflecting an Emerging Xing Mang identical to Luna's. "Let us prepare the grandest farewell ceremony for that 'Deceased' Lord."
As Aelia's Skirt brushed past the corridor, eight Magic Wall Lamps exploded into Ice Blue powder.
Amidst the shattered light, Servants rushed about, colliding with Gilded Candelabras and black veils. A Cook stumbled as a Mourning Cake fell from their arms onto the spiral staircase, revealing Artichoke thorns coated in blood-colored Sugar Coating amidst the cream.
"Madam, the Edelweiss has been gnawed to pieces by the Frost Elf in Third Young Master Lucius's courtyard!" Qin Si exclaimed as he rushed over, just as Luna's tears corroded the cuffs of her Mourning Garment, creating Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes in a shape reminiscent of Xing Mang.
The Maid's silver Chain ensnared a suddenly frenzied Broom Sprite. "Why does the bell from the North Tower sound so mocking?"
Aelia's Wedding Ring liquid congealed into Thorns on the Spiral Staircase Railing, piercing three Ghostly Attendants who were attempting to carry the Crystal Coffin.
She gazed at the Golden Oak Door at the end of the corridor, intricately carved with a Dragon Scale Pattern. This morning, Leonard had stood there adjusting Ailya—he had deliberately angled the Lapel Pin so that the Double-Headed Bird Emblem, symbolizing Eternal Loyalty, reflected perfectly in the dressing mirror.
"Mother, the Artichoke needs to be soaked in lava to stay fresh." Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch was spewing black smoke, its chain entangled with a suddenly reversing hourglass. "But the Magma Pool in the Weapon Vault is occupied by Second Uncle, who is warming wine..."
Before he could finish, Second Brother's Space Bag unexpectedly spat out twenty bottles of Mourning Potion.
Amidst Violet's smoke emerged an image of Leonard from this morning: Lord had burnt the dragon egg for breakfast but hid the Pastry Box gifted by Mistress in a Dark Compartment.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Dagger suddenly pierced through the illusion, pinning a Cream Puff to the Epitaph Frame held by a servant.
"Madam! The Ice Coffin in the mourning hall is devouring Black Velvet!" a Chief Guard burst in, dragging a Half-Broken Sword. The sword's hilt, embedded with a Communication Crystal, reflected chaos from the banquet hall—where wreaths should have been placed, Magic Puppets were wrapping a Red Wine Barrel with Mourning Banners and performing a Tap Dance.
Luna suddenly grasped Qin Si's neck, holding onto his Star Map Pendant; the infant's palm lines perfectly matched the cracks in the Jade Pendant.
As the Anti-Magic Swaddle seeped out a Light Golden Halo, a brittle sound of breaking echoed from the Crystal Chandelier at the end of the corridor.
Aelia's Pearl Earring suddenly reformed into a map of the border, where Leonard's fingertip had traced, now exuding the Mistress's signature Violet Perfume.
"Mother, should we send someone to hunt the Funeral Eagle in the Ice Field?" Her elder brother's wheelchair rolled over the scattered ice crystals, and a Mechanical Prosthetic revealed an Astrolabe hidden within Ankeli. "The Divination shows Father's presence is..."
Aelia abruptly pressed her hand against her heart, as liquid from her Wedding Ring congealed into the shape of a Crown belonging to the First Generation Fortress Master at her collarbone.
This morning, when Leonard had placed the necklace around her neck, that ring had briefly burned her skin—just like now, as her gaze fell upon the handle of the Golden Oak Door, where the Rose Hand Oil left by the Mistress glimmered eerily beneath the black veil.
"Replace the Mournful Musician in the East Wing with a battle Horn." She tore apart Brother San's Watch Chain, and an Alchemical Formula suddenly reformed into a border defense map. "Since we are holding a funeral, let the entire magical realm hear the Death Knell of the Glorious Demon Fortress."
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly pierced through the chaos.
As Qin Si lifted the Anti-Magic Swaddle, the Starry Birthmark on the baby's ankle was burning the black veil scattered across the ground into Ashes.
When those Ashes drifted toward the Golden Oak Door, they unexpectedly formed the pattern of the Mistress's Bedroom Curtain in mid-air—identical to the design of the Velvet Blanket Leonard had carried under the pretense of "inspecting the border" this morning.
Aelia's petticoat suddenly expanded into a Magic Circle, entangling twenty-three Ghostly Attendants into Ice Mist.
As her Wedding Ring's liquid seeped through the Door Gap, a melody of the Lullaby commonly sung by the Mistress suddenly echoed.
This morning, Leonard hummed that tune while pinning a Pearl Hairpin in her hair, claiming it was a Requiem for the Border Shepherd.
"Madam!"
The Lord's Dragon Scale Armor wept in the mourning hall! A Knight's exclamation was drowned out by the rushing magical Lava.
As Brother San caught the Lava with his Alchemical Pocket Watch, the surface of the Pocket Watch revealed a live scene of Leonard toasting with the Fire Dragon Horde during Leonard's Last Night—those fire dragons that should have torn him apart now bore the Mistress's Family Crest on their scales.
Luna suddenly grasped Aelia's Pearl Necklace, and the infant's tears corroded the pearls into the shape of a Star Map.
When the tenth pearl rolled away, Qin Si discovered that each pearl contained a miniature Communication Talisman—the very kind that the Mistress’s nightingale loved to carry.
"Mother, the Death Knell of the North Tower..." The elder brother's Mechanical Prosthetic suddenly pointed out the window.
The Tower Spitze, which should have hung the Death Knell, was instead floating with Leonard’s Ailya from This Morning.
That Ailya twisted in the night wind like the Mistress's waist chain, yet at its end, the Fire Seal bore an old stamp from three years ago’s wedding.
Aelia’s Ice Crystal Dagger suddenly plunged into the Door Gap, and liquid from the Wedding Ring ignited as it dripped down the handle coated with Rose Hand Oil.
As the charred love letter Ashes wafted out from within the door, Luna's swaddling suddenly burst forth with pulses resonating with the Star Map Pendant.
The extinguished starlight in the infant's Pupil now peeked through the Door Gap to glimpse beneath the Bedroom carpet—
A half-bloodied Messaging Gold Leaf was caught at the edge of a Dark Compartment, its Tooth Mark perfectly matching that of Lucius’s letter opener in his study.
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly soared, and starlight seeping from the Anti-Magic Swaddle Gap coalesced into a Blood Arrow, pointing directly at the oil residue of the Mistress’s Gauntlet on the handle of the Golden Oak Door.
The liquid in Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly boiled, burning a charred keyhole shape into Xing Mang—exactly the mark left by Leonard's Space Magic when he departed this morning.
"Align the Astrolabe with the Door Gap." Aelia tore the positioning scroll from Second Brother's sleeve, her finger, cut by the Ice Crystal Dagger, traced a reverse Dispel Array on the Parchment. "In the wedding Oath three years ago, he promised never to cast defensive magic on this door."
Suddenly, Brother's Mechanical Prosthetic ejected a miniature Microscope, its Lens reflecting the cigar smoke floating in the Bedroom—distinctive Dragon's Blood Incense cigars that Leonard used during his secret talks with the Elder Fire Dragon.
As the Microscope touched the door panel, three pieces of Xing Mang flew out from Luna's Swaddling, burning the Mistress's perfume scent on the lock into gray-white ashes of lies.
"Mother!" Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly emitted an alarm sound, "The defense system shows Father's life signs..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aelia had already kicked open the Golden Oak Door.
The Gilded Door Handle's Double-Headed Bird Crest shattered in response, revealing a Communication Crystal hidden within a Hidden Layer—at that moment, it was looping Leonard's Last Night, where Lucius imitated the Lord’s handwriting to write an obituary.
"This is impossible..." Second Brother's Space Bag unexpectedly spat out a blood-stained piece of fire Dragon Scales. The Tooth Mark on its edge perfectly matched the Letter Opener in Lucius's study.
As the scale touched the ground covered in ashes of lies, it suddenly revealed Leonard's true whereabouts from This Morning—he was clearly drinking Honeyed Wine with the Elder Fire Dragon in the Weapon Vault.
Aelia's Pearl Earring suddenly reformed into a three-dimensional map, and the Wedding Ring liquid seeped toward the Wine Cellar along the floor Gap.
As everyone passed through the Magic Puppet group still performing their mourning Tap Dance, Luna's Starry Birthmark illuminated the corridor murals—those oil paintings depicting the great achievements of past Lords now transformed into evidence of Lucius’s tampering with the Lord’s edicts.
Suddenly, all of the Oak Barrels in the Wine Cellar exploded collectively, unleashing aged Honeyed Wine mixed with Artichoke Spikes.
Leonard's voice pierced through the wine mist: "Who allowed you to trespass..." His rebuke was cut short as Aelia's Ice Crystal Dagger was pressed against his throat - and Lord In Hand was still holding the Gilded Goblet given by Mistress. The Wine Liquid on the ground suddenly reflected the strange Leonard's Last Night: Lucius was hiding in the Astrology Tower, using a Letter Opener to carve a new Messaging Gold Leaf. Twenty-three forged Fire Dragon Claw Print Molds were scattered under his feet, each mold stained with East Coast's Bioluminescent Algae Ink. "Father...alive?" Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly froze, and the Emerging Alchemical Formula on the chain collided violently with Luna's Swaddling's Starry Pattern. Big brother's Wheelchair rolled over the glass fragments all over the floor, and the Microscope that popped out of the Mechanical Prosthetic clearly illuminated Leonard's collar - there was a Violet Lip Print that Mistress often used. The liquid in Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly solidified into an ice cone, piercing the Communication Crystal hidden in Leonard's sleeve. When the crystal shattered, the entire Magic Castle's defense system sounded a sharp alarm - the Death Knell on the top of the North Tower suddenly turned around, and the Fire Seal on the Pendulum was the Private Seal that Lucius had secretly put on This Morning. "This is..." Leonard's explanation was interrupted by the servants who suddenly rushed in. The maid holding the black veil collided with the Knight carrying the Crystal Coffin, and a Cook's Mourning Cake blocked the Alarm Rune in the Weapon Vault. Steward stumbles in holding a broken Funeral Program, followed by twenty-three gardeners holding Artichoke but not knowing where to put them. Luna suddenly grabs Qin Si's Star Map Pendant, and the baby's tears burn the Jade Pendant into a Perspective Mirror. When Aelia looks through the Lens, the image of Leonard This Morning"patrolling the border" is being reconstructed - the scales of the Fire Dragon Horde in Leonard's Last Night suddenly flip over, revealing the Magic Signature forged by Lucius underneath.
"It's Lucius!" The Second Brother's Space Bag suddenly spewed out a stack of blood-stained love letters, each one bearing the Fire Seal's Tooth Mark that matched the fake obituary perfectly. "These are written in Father’s handwriting to the East Coast Witch..."
Leonard's Dragon Scale Armor let out a mournful cry as the Reliefs of past Lords on the Chest Armor collectively turned towards the hidden door of the Wine Cellar.
When Aelia's Ice Crystal Dagger sliced through the hidden door, twenty bottles of Mourning Potion mixed with Bioluminescent Algae Ink were boiling, their surfaces displaying real-time images of Lucius in conversation with the Elder Fire Dragon.
"Father, please explain..." The eldest brother's Mechanical Prosthetic suddenly revealed a display rack of evidence, showcasing Lucius's Letter Opener dropped at the Astrology Tower, a forged Wax Seal Mold, and a blood-stained piece of Messaging Gold Leaf.
Leonard's Wedding Ring suddenly shattered, and the Micro Sandglass hidden within rolled onto the ground—it was identical to the timer placed in the Mistress's Bedroom.
As the Purple Sand within the hourglass touched Luna's Xing Mang, it suddenly formed an image in the air showing Lucius's current location: he was humming a lullaby often sung by the Mistress, casually knocking on the front door of the Magic Castle.
"Prepare for the Welcome Ceremony." Aelia crushed the hourglass, her blood-stained Skirt sweeping over the ground littered with evidence.
When her Wedding Ring’s liquid seeped into the core of the defense system, the entire castle abruptly transformed into battle mode—the Mournful Musician's Pipe Organ morphed into a Crossbow, and the Crystal Coffin reconfigured into a Vine Cage, while spikes from an Artichoke were coated with Truth Serum.
Luna's swaddling suddenly fell silent as her Starry Birthmark slowly rotated around her ankle.
As the Magic Castle's door was knocked for the third time, she tightened her grip on Qin Si’s Star Map Pendant—within it was emerging a Remnant page detailing Lucius's true ambitions that had never been recorded in the Original Plot.
