As the moonlight brushed past the East Tower of the Magic Castle for the seventh time, Aelia's Silver Gloves were caught on the Mithril door ring.
The Cedar Fragrance seeped through the cracks of the Carved Door, resonating subtly with the Ribbons Sachet cradled in Qin Si's arms. The Wedding Oath Thorn glimmered with a blue-violet halo on her wrist.
"Madam, the crystal indicates that Leonard's Concubine is hidden..." Before Qin Si could finish her sentence, a surge of Magical Fluctuation from within the room sent her stumbling back a step.
The Secret Silver Fluid, shaped into a medicinal tweezer, suddenly broke free from Third Young Master Lucius's fingers and dove straight into the keyhole, transforming into a liquid key.
As the door swung open, Shan Na heard Luna's loud cry pierce through three streets.
The Thorned Crown around the infant's neck erupted with golden light in the Nursery, causing every copy of the Magic Plant Compendium in the Magic Castle to flip to page 298—on a torn annotation page, Aelia's Mother's tiny inscriptions were being redrawn by a golden milk stain.
"Leonard!" Aelia's startled shout startled a Night Owl perched outside the window.
Beneath the Crystal Chandelier, she saw her husband's cloak draped over a Strange Woman's snow-white shoulders, while an indigo liquid swirled in a Mithril wine vessel, bearing the mark of Twin Curse.
In his panic, Lord knocked over the Star Trail Sand Table, sending Amethyst Cufflinks rolling into the fireplace and sparking flames.
He staggered to wrap Leonard's Cloak around his lover but forgot that at her collarbone was an Emerging Thorn Emblem identical to Aelia's wrist—a byproduct of Twenty Years Ago's Wedding Oath Magic.
"Let me explain..." Leonard reached out to grasp his wife's wrist when suddenly, the Wedding Oath Thorn shot out spikes.
The Blue Rose bloomed with bloody curse patterns on his hand back; this was a backlash from the Forbidden Technique that Luna had secretly mixed in when she gnawed on the Contract with her Milk Tooth three days ago.
Aelia tore off her Star Moon Necklace, and the gem shattered on the floor's gap.
Those Broken Diamonds embedded with defensive magic suddenly arranged themselves automatically along the track drawn by Luna's saliva during the day, forming a Blood Arrow pointing towards the secret passage on the West Side.
"Are you trying to deceive me with the Astrology my Mother taught me for Twenty Years?" She kicked away the Twinborn Potion Bottle that had rolled to her feet, and as the Lavender Liquid seeped into the Peacock Stone Tiles, the entire wall suddenly groaned with Ice Cracks.
The Secret Silver Tweezers crafted by Third Young Master Lucius suddenly flew toward the Dark Compartment behind the bookshelf, pulling out a half-embroidered swaddling cloth adorned with the Magic Castle Emblem.
Luna abruptly stopped crying in the Nursery.
Clutching her Second Brother's Crystal Fragment, she turned over and sat up, her Golden Eyes reflecting the Three-Dimensional Projection of the entire Emerald Alley.
As Lord's lover Qian Jiao penetrated three layers of stone walls, the baby unexpectedly expelled a Magic Bubble that, wrapped in Milk Fragrance, shattered the most vulnerable Node of the Defensive Barrier.
"Look at what your daughter has discovered!" Qin Si shook off Ailya, which was smeared with Violet Fragrance, and suddenly thirteen pearls from the Family Crest detached from the Gold Thread.
They formed a Star Map in mid-air, precisely landing in the gap of Luna's Magic Circle made with Rice Paste from yesterday—a weak point of the Magic Castle's Energy Nexus.
Veins bulged on Leonard's forehead as he waved his Scepter to erase the evidence, only to see his Second Brother's Astrology Pen shoot in from outside the window.
The shape of the Blood Pearl spreading on the Parchment perfectly overlapped with Luna on his lover's lower back.
The Core Gem of the Defensive Magical Artifact was burning hot in his pocket; each time his "dear friend" visited, energy fluctuations were recorded, now projecting an affair route map in mid-air.
"What kind of Glorious Lord are you?!" Aelia ripped off her Wedding Ring and hurled it at her husband Mei Xin, causing the Blue Rose Poison Spike to suddenly surge.
As the ring pierced through the Magic Shield, a Roar echoed from the West Tower as its cornerstone shattered—Luna's corrected Star Trail finally completed its transformation of the energy field.
Black mist rose around Leonard, but as he knocked over a candlestick, he exposed a fatal flaw.
As Zhu Lei dripped onto her lover's hand, it ignited the Holy Mark, a Purification Magic that Luna had secretly placed on the Crystal Baby Bottle three days ago.
When the Lord tried to shift his position with his lover, he discovered that all the Teleportation Circles had been rewritten with coordinates by golden Milk Stains.
"Go and keep your filthy roses company!" Aelia swung her Thorn, slicing across her husband's face, and Blue Blood dripped onto the Ground, forming a small barrier.
Outside, the Iris collectively turned toward the Magic Turbulence, which was now following the path Luna had planned, sealing all evidence of infidelity within the Crystal Mirror.
As the Lord transformed into a Black Crow and shattered the Colored Window to escape, Aelia suddenly stumbled and leaned against the Astrolabe.
The Thorn on her Wrist automatically retracted, leaving blood marks as the Secret Silver Tweezers crafted by Third Young Master Lucius pinched out a half-bloodied Rose Petal from the mirror—the very one Leonard had tucked into her hair on their wedding day twenty years ago.
As the moonlight swept past Tower Spitze for the ninth time, Luna's Milk Tooth bit through the crystal ball.
The baby's mindless scratching was completing the missing final passage of the Magic Castle Structure Diagram.
Those winding golden traces suddenly shrank into Light Spots, all pointing toward Aelia as the Wedding Oath Array beneath her feet began to crack.
The Blue Rose withered into Ashes in Aelia's Palm, while vines bearing Poison Spikes crawled up her neck along her Blood Vessels.
Leaning against the cold Crystal Wall, she slowly slid down. Her Fingertip absentmindedly brushed against Luna's Milk Stain left on it during the day—those winding Golden Patterns suddenly grew hot, burning away twenty years of loving illusions into a twisted Residual Shadow.
Outside, the Iris continued to turn, and the sound of flower stems tearing at the soil echoed like that of the Red Carpet at their wedding being licked by Xing Huo.
The Coldness seeping from the Crystal Wall sent a shiver down Aelia's spine, as the sharp tip of the Wedding Oath Thorn still pierced her unhealed Wrist.
Qin Si knelt on the Black Rose Velvet Blanket, gently wiping the congealed Blue Blood from her mistress's Hand Back with a silver-threaded embroidered handkerchief. Within the blood floated several strands of Gold Thread—remnants of the Purification Magic from Luna's bite on the Contract three days ago.
"Look at the color of this blood," Qin Si said, crushing a hemostatic herb. The pale green powder ignited upon contact with the Gold Thread in the Blue Blood. "The Young Miss has long been under Warning..."
Aelia suddenly seized the maid's wrist, her diamond-studded Ailya's White Nails nearly digging into the skin.
The Thorn Emblem on her wrist twitched in sync with the frequency of the Iris blooming outside. The annotated pages that Luna had completed with Milk Stain flashed frame by frame in her mind—her mother’s hasty symbols written twenty years ago on the margins of the Magic Plant Compendium suddenly pieced together into a complete Warning Spell.
"Madam?" Qin Si gazed in terror at her mistress's pupils, where Golden Patterns were emerging. Those patterns were remnants of the star chart inadvertently drawn beside the Cradle when Luna had knocked over an Ink Bottle last night.
As Aelia released her grip, the imprint left by her Wedding Ring glowed with a Blue Light on Qin Si's wrist.
She buried her face in the cuff embroidered with the Magic Castle Emblem, and the lingering scent of Iris on the Fabric suddenly turned sharp and pungent—an indication that the truth potion wrapped in a Magic Bubble had begun to take effect after Luna had vomited this morning.
Meanwhile, in the West Tower study.
Luna was slapping page 298 of the Ancient Defensive Formation Examination with her saliva-covered little hands, and the Magic Symbols circled by Milk Stain on the Parchment suddenly began to move.
Lucius used Secret Silver Tweezers to pinch a tuft of her hair that was sticking up, and as it touched the ancient text, it ignited in golden flames.
"Little One, are you sure you want to delve into something so profound..." Third Young Master Lucius's words were interrupted by the sudden turning of a page in the Grimoire.
Luna's toes hooked onto his tool bag at his waist, and a gear-shaped Magic Crystal rolled onto the Yellowed Pages, perfectly lodged at the center of a fragmented Formation Diagram.
The baby suddenly burst into giggles, her Golden Eyes reflecting the Sevenfold Halo refracted by the Magic Crystal.
Lucius stared in astonishment as the light projected a Three-D Model on the wall—specifically, a diagram of the energy conduits located thirty meters beneath the Magic Castle, where three main veins were being eroded by a black, mist-like substance.
"Wait!" He grabbed Luna's flailing little hand, the lingering Milk Fragrance from the infant's fingertip tracing a sparkling Track in the air.
The Gold Threads automatically wrapped around the Astrolabe on the desk, forcibly twisting the Pointer to the junction between Scorpio Palace and Demon Wolf Seat—the very direction Leonard had fled as a Black Crow last night.
Suddenly, Luna pouted and made a crying face, drool bubbles bursting on the Family Crest embossed on the cover of an ancient tome.
The Griffin sleeping within the Gilded Emblem suddenly opened its eyes, its gem-encrusted Eye shooting forth red light, scorching a blackened gap in the Star Map Curtain of the Study Room Dome—remarkably, that shape perfectly overlapped with the illicit route projected by Second Brother's Astrology Pen.
"Is this what you want me to see?" Lucius lightly touched the Scorch Mark with the tip of his tweezers, and the charred silk fibers abruptly reformed into a Three-Dimensional Projection.
The infant grasped his flowing silver hair for support and stood up. Her chubby Palm pressed against the Projection at the location of Magic Castle's West Tower, where dense Mama's Black Curse was Emerging.
Suddenly, the study door burst open, and a gust of wind swept in, carrying Aelia's broken necklace, Broken Diamond.
Luna excitedly waved her arms; those Broken Diamonds automatically flew toward the Three-Dimensional Projection, forming a Blood Arrow at the most concentrated point of the Black Curse.
Lucius noticed that each Blood Arrow's tip was stained with Blue Blood—the very droplets that had splattered from the Wedding Oath Thorn piercing his mother’s skin during her emotional outburst.
"Third Young Master Lucius!" Qin Si's voice echoed from the spiral staircase. "Madam says Young Miss might..." Her exclamation abruptly halted upon seeing the Three-Dimensional Projection.
The Ribbons Sachet in the maid’s arms suddenly snapped, and thirteen pearls rolled onto the edge of Luna’s saliva-drawn Magic Circle, perfectly completing the final Broken Syllables of an Ancient Prophecy.
Luna suddenly bit her finger with her Milk Tooth, and under Lucius's shocked gaze, she flicked a Blood Pearl threaded with Gold Thread toward the Black Curse in the Projection.
As the Blood Pearl came into contact with the Curse, it expanded into a glowing sphere, illuminating the hidden Magic Patterns within—revealing a reverse version of the Wedding Oath Magic from Twenty Years Ago, each twist and turn infused with the violet fragrance of Leonard's lover.
"This is..." Lucius's hand began to tremble as the tip of the Secret Silver Tweezers touched the surface of the glowing sphere.
The infant suddenly grasped his index finger and pressed it against a convergence point of runes. The Magic Crystal Button at his cuff suddenly grew hot, branding his skin with a mark resembling Aelia's Wrist Thorn Emblem.
Luna tilted her head, displaying an innocent smile, though droplets of crystal-clear saliva hung from the corners of her mouth.
Those droplets fell onto the hidden pages of the ancient tome Hidden Layer, causing the faded Tiny Inscriptions to suddenly become clear—"When the wedding vow is tainted, Geomancy weeps blood, and when thirteen pearls return to their places, the Magic Castle will welcome..."
The final words were abruptly torn apart by a gust of night wind as Lucius turned sharply to look out the window.
The Iris Field was eerily rotating counterclockwise, and from the Tear in the flower stems, Blue Blood Fern Juice dripped into the air, forming a Warning Rune—exactly like the pattern Luna had drawn on the Nursery floor with Rice Paste seven days ago.
The infant suddenly emitted an urgent Yiya Sound, her small hands desperately slapping at the blank edges of the Yellowed Pages.
Lucius followed her pointed direction and discovered that his tool bag was seeping blue mist—that was residue from the Magic Dilemma he had encountered while helping Second Brother repair the Astrolabe that morning.
As the third pearl automatically embedded itself into the Three-Dimensional Projection's formation, Luna suddenly went rigid.
Her Golden Eyes expanded to nearly fill her Eye Socket, reflecting a massive shadow writhing beneath the Magic Castle Underground.
The contours of those shadows distinctly flickered with the Family Crest on Leonard's Staff.
The Secret Silver Tweezers in Lucius's hand clattered to the ground, creating a crisp echo in the silent study.
He slowly crouched down, intending to pick up Luna, but found the chubby infant's palm tightly gripping the last half-page of the Prophecy Book—where there should have been a blank space, a pattern of the doomsday clock was now outlined in gold thread.
The rhythm of the pendulum swayed in perfect sync with the twitching frequency of Aelia's Wedding Oath Thorn on her wrist.
As the moonlight swept over the East Tower Spire for the tenth time, Luna suddenly spat out fragments of the crystal pen from her mouth.
The sharply angled shards of shattered crystal automatically arranged themselves into a warning symbol, projecting a countdown in Lucius's trembling pupil—only seven lunar cycles remained before the Earth Vein Core was consumed by darkness.
Lucius's hand hovered half an inch above Luna's head, with droplets of cold sweat from the tips of his Secret Silver Tweezers falling onto the ancient text.
The countdown symbols flickered under the moonlight; with each flash, the iris and Centaurea specimen nestled between the yellowed pages faded a little more—it was the very flower from Aelia's wedding bouquet twenty years ago.
"Seven days later..." The sound of Third Young Master Lucius's Adam's apple rolling was particularly clear in the silence. Suddenly, blue mist seeping from his tool bag coalesced into the shape of a falcon, its sharp beak aimed directly at Luna's Mei Xin.
The infant let out a sudden lactation burp, golden bubbles encasing a crystal fragment collided with the blue mist. In that instant of contact, cracks in the Underground Sealing Array were reflected.
Luna kicked fiercely at the edge of the ancient text, golden thread oozing between her chubby toes.
Qin Si’s Ailya suddenly stirred without wind; ten remaining pearls broke free from their golden thread bindings, clinking as they embedded themselves into the grooves of the star map on the study room dome.
As the last pearl settled into place, the entire crystal wall suddenly reflected Aelia’s figure—she knelt in the center of the Wedding Oath Array, thorny vines creeping up to her collarbone.
"Mother..." Lucius's whisper was drowned out by the resonance of pearls as Leonard's sword suddenly emitted a hum.
He saw his mistress’s trembling fingertip brush against Luna’s milk stain left on the edge of the formation; those winding golden traces suddenly transformed into venomous snakes, burrowing into Aelia’s blood vessels toward her heart.
The baby suddenly let out a sharp, loud cry, and the sound wave shattered the floating countdown symbol. Crystal fragments in the air formed a new omen: a Two-Headed Serpent coiling around the broken Star Trail.
Urgent footsteps echoed from the spiral staircase, and Luna's pupils constricted sharply.
She grabbed Lucius's silver hair and pulled him toward the door, saliva drawing a crooked Blood Arrow across the cover of an ancient tome.
The Magic Crystal button on Third Young Master Lucius's cuff suddenly heated up, burning his wrist with a Thorned Floral Pattern identical to Aelia's.
"Third Young Master Lucius!"
A servant covered in Xing Xu burst through the door, cradling parts of an Astrolabe that were seeping black mist.
Luna suddenly coughed violently, expelling a Magic Bubble that enveloped one of the gears, projecting its etched Star Map onto the wall of the West Side—originally belonging to Scorpio Palace, but now occupied by Leonard's lover's Violet Emblem.
Lucius seized the burning Secret Silver Tweezers. "Explain clearly!"
"The Second Young Master's Astrolabe... it suddenly reversed its rotation..." The servant's bow tie was soaked with cold sweat. "The repaired gears began to devour starlight, and the patterns on Young Master’s wrist... they resemble those of the Leyline Rift..."
Luna's loud cry suddenly rose an octave.
She clutched Qin Si's Pearl Earrings and yanked them hard; a Blood Pearl dripped from the maid's earlobe, igniting into golden flames upon contact with the black mist.
The fire illuminated the blue liquid staining the servant's collar—exactly the color of Second Brother Leonard's Calming Potion, now mixed with the stench of Geomancy corrosives.
The baby suddenly rolled off the pile of ancient tomes, and Qin Si gasped in alarm as she lunged to save it but grasped at nothing.
Luna precisely fell into Lucius's tool bag, her small hands covered in milk grabbing a piece engraved with a High-Level Protective Spell on a Magic Crystal.
As her milk tooth bit into the crystal's Shan Na, the entire West Tower's Defensive Barrier suddenly let out a wail, and instead of starlight seeping from the wall cracks, a thick substance like Asphalt began to ooze out as Dark Matter.
"Lead the way!" Lucius wrapped Luna in Ailya's Silver Gloves, but the baby struggled, using her toes to hook onto the Communication Mirror hanging from his waist.
The mirror reflected Aelia's current state—poison spikes from the Wedding Oath Thorn had pierced her neck, blue blood flowing down her collarbone into the Family Crest Pendant resting on her chest, while on the back of the Jade Pendant, Luna's Warning Symbol drawn with Rice Paste from the night before was emerging.
Luna suddenly quieted down, a heaviness not belonging to an infant swirling in her golden eyes.
She pressed her saliva-covered thumb against the Communication Mirror, and Aelia's image was suddenly enveloped in golden light, causing the black mist that was eroding her to retreat as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
At the same time, pearls in the Study Room Dome began to burst one by one, and flames ignited from the Star Map Curtain that matched the color of Luna's pupils.
"First, let's go to Mother..." Lucius had just spoken when Luna suddenly bit through his gloves.
A Blood Pearl threaded with Gold Thread shot onto a fragment of the Astrolabe cradled by the servant, and immediately, a Three-Dimensional Map of Second Brother's secret chamber emerged on the surface of the gears—countless Black Silk Threads were drilling out from underground cracks, wrapping around the limbs of the unconscious person and dragging them toward the void.
The baby suddenly emitted a sound resembling sobbing, desperately slapping at the edges of the Communication Mirror.
Qin Si suddenly pointed at the mirror and exclaimed, "Madam's wrist thorn!" Aelia's Wedding Oath Emblem abruptly detached from her skin and solidified into tangible vines in mid-air, their tips sharply pointing towards the direction of the Western Core of the Earth Veins.
Lucius handed Luna over to Qin Si and as he turned around, the Protective Magic Crystals in his tool bag spontaneously formed an array.
He grabbed two crystals engraved with Backlash Curse and threw them at the servant. "Use this to temporarily seal Second Brother's room..." Before he could finish his sentence, the entire Magic Castle suddenly shook violently. The East Tower Pillar that Luna had reinforced with saliva during the day let out a sound that made one’s teeth ache as it began to crack.
The baby suddenly broke free from Qin Si's embrace and, with astonishing agility, climbed up the bookshelf.
She grasped the "Geological Structure Science" Gold Foil Book Spine and swung to the window, her milk-stained feet leaving prints of a Magic Circle on the glass.
As the final Arc closed, the moonlight suddenly solidified into Entity Chains within the formation, wrapping around the collapsing West Tower Base.
"Take her!" Lucius hurled the Communication Mirror towards the Formation Center drawn by Luna. The mirror transformed into a liquid state upon contact with the golden light, enveloping the wailing baby.
When Qin Si lunged forward, she only managed to grasp half of a silver chain; the liquid mirror had already taken Luna away in the direction of Xi Tower.
As the last glimmer of golden light vanished around the corner of the corridor, Lucius stumbled and leaned against the bleeding wall.
He belatedly opened his Palm and discovered that within the wound Luna had torn open while struggling, there were strands of golden magical residue that did not belong to a baby.
Those Light Spots flickered on his Palm for a moment before darting towards the location of Second Brother's secret chamber, dragging a charred Track through the air—like a remorseful soul leaving scorched marks as it hurriedly retraced its steps through the currents of time.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the trembling leaves of the Moonlight Rose, ice blue magical patterns flowing between its petals.
These Magic Plants, nourished by her soul magic for Twenty Years, were now faithfully reflecting whispers from behind the garden's rockery.
"Madam, shall we go now?" Qin Si tightened her grip on the Liuli Bottle containing Transfiguration Potion, the Lapis Lazuli Earrings chiming in the night breeze.
The Wisteria Corridor where they hid was only thirty steps away from the rockery, and a sweet scent of Violet Perfume wafted through the air.
Luna kicked against Xiu Xing Wen's swaddling in her Cradle, her emerald eyes reflecting the increasingly round moon in the Sky Dome.
When the sound of cloth rubbing came from behind the artificial mountain, she suddenly let out a sharp cry.
In that moment, all the Moonlight Roses bloomed simultaneously, their icy blue light illuminating the entwined figures of the illicit couple, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
"Using Soul Resonance to transmit images?" Aelia gazed at the Magical Projection hovering among the flowers, where her husband’s figure intertwined with Leonard's Concubine twisted and distorted between the Black Roses and Thorns. "Leonard, is this your reason for claiming you needed to inspect the border barrier?"
As Lord hurriedly fastened his belt, Luna's pupils suddenly constricted.
In the shadow of the Wisteria leaves, she saw a more terrifying sight—Leonard's Last Night. The Silver Buckle of Leonard's Cloak in the Magical Projection perfectly overlapped with the Disaster Eye depicted in the Forbidden Book library's illustration of Void Prophecy.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly shouted.
Lucius appeared out of nowhere in the Emerald Corridor, his Starlight Staff aimed directly at Aelia's back.
Luna desperately waved her small hand and touched the falling Wisteria Petals. A faint Purification Magic struck Third Young Master Lucius's wrist.
A roar suddenly echoed from deep within the cellar, and black mist rose from Second Brother's laboratory.
Luna looked at the moon beginning to turn red and finally understood the true meaning of the phrase in the Grimoire: "When the blood moon engulfs the Triple Star Ring, the Magic Castle will fall into a void fissure." Second Brother's uncontrollable Dark Element experiment was indeed a prelude to disaster.
