The moonlight poured down, casting a silver edge on the Contract, while fragments of Moonstone Earrings pecked off by the Mechanical Bird bounced on the Spider Web, coincidentally forming the totem of the Outer Chamber Villa's door ring.
Luna, with her small mouth, suddenly let out three short Loud Cries—the very Night Owl signal she had heard in the original story before Aelia discovered the affair.
"Madam, please look." Qin Si trembled as he held up a fragment of the Memory Crystal. The shards of Contract that splintered when the ice cone hit the ground automatically filled in the gaps of Leonard's Last Night.
Leonard's embrace with the woman in the Purple Skirt became clearer; the Emerald Twin Lotus nestled in her hair was unmistakably part of Aelia's Dowry that had gone missing during last month's Birthday Feast.
Aelia's Mechanical Arm crushed the floating Silk flames, and the sparks exploded, casting flickering shadows on her Pale Luna.
Suddenly, she grabbed the Peach Pit that Luna had gnawed on, pressing the milk-fragrant pit against the missing Symbol of the Contract: "Last year during Hunting Season, you said you were bitten by a Poison Spider and spent Seven Days healing alone in Bing Shu—"
The Contract abruptly emerged with images of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine at their Tryst in Spring God Temple; hanging from his Waist was the Exorcism Charm Pouch that Aelia had embroidered herself.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grabbed Aelia's Pearl Necklace, her saliva-dampened Fingertip tracing the Tracking Curse Mark on the largest pearl as mentioned in the original text.
"This is impossible..." The tail feathers of Aelia's Mechanical Bird suddenly Reverse Rotated, a protective mechanism triggered only when she lost control of her emotions.
Luna quickly spat out a Rainbow Bubble to envelop the Mechanical Bird that was beginning to smoke. The surface of the bubble reflected three years ago when Leonard had slipped a Wedding Oath Spell into the Inheritance Contract while placing a Wedding Ring on her finger during Leonard's Last Night.
The Cellar shook violently, causing Luna to be knocked down as ice crystals cut into her Luna.
Deliberately, she let drops of Blood Pearl infused with spiritual energy fall onto the Birthday Jade Pendant that Second Brother had gifted her last year—according to the original plot, this pendant was supposed to be swapped by Leonard today for a Curse Medium.
"Mother... it hurts..." Luna suddenly cried out clearly. Aelia's Mechanical Arm instantly shot out a healing Light Web.
As the Light Web swept over the pendant, memories of Leonard infusing Black Magic into it emerged as Residual Shadows.
Seizing this chance, Luna bit her Fingertip with her Milk Tooth and drew a Reverse Symbol for breaking curses on the back of the pendant.
Aelia suddenly tore apart the Pearl Necklace, and the scattered pearls rolled across the Ground, forming a Star Map Trajectory.
When she saw the pearls, symbolizing the couple's palace, rolling into the Contract-marked Private Residence Coordinate, the Mechanical Eye abruptly emitted a Crimson scanning beam.
Luna knew this was a sign that Aelia was activating battle mode in the Original. She quickly blew a bubble to wrap around the swaddling blanket that was beginning to freeze.
"Go to the Assembly Hall." Aelia's voice was like a blade tempered in ice.
As she handed Luna over to Qin Si, her Mechanical Hand left a glowing Rose Mark on her daughter's forehead—this was the protective charm she had given her child before perishing alongside a formidable enemy in the Original.
When Leonard smiled and raised his newly acquired Dragonbone Staff to greet his wife, Aelia's Mechanical Cloak suddenly disassembled into three thousand silver needles suspended in mid-air.
The Crystal Pacifier that Luna bit into released a bubble, which accurately ensnared the top of the Scepter, where a Memory Crystal disguised as black Obsidian lay.
"Explain the Jasmine Scent of the Spring God Temple." Aelia raised her hand and flung the Contract Remnant Page onto the Magic Fireplace, where the Burning paper ash formed a three-dimensional map of the Private Residence in the air.
Luna cooperatively giggled, her saliva-covered Palm slapping against Qin Si's Hand Back, automatically activating the truth Projection recently drawn within the jade pendant.
Cold sweat beaded on Leonard's forehead, yet he forced a smile and said, "It must be someone forging..." Before he could finish his sentence, Luna suddenly burst into tears at his Waist, targeting his Scent Pouch.
Aelia's Mechanical Bird suddenly pecked open the dark layer of the Scent Pouch, revealing an Amethyst Pendant hidden inside—the totem of the Outsider Family.
"Do you think altering the Wedding Oath Spell will allow an illegitimate child to inherit the Magic Castle?" Aelia's Mechanical Eye shot out two beams of red light, projecting onto the wall the scene of Luna's bubble preserving evidence of tampering.
Leonard hurriedly reached for the Dragonbone Staff but discovered that the crystal atop the Scepter was playing footage of his discussion with Leonard's Concubine about a poisoning plan from last night.
The 99th bubble that Luna expelled suddenly burst open, releasing a torrential downpour of the original Wedding Ring Spell.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace automatically reformed into Starlight Chains, binding Leonard tightly to the throne.
As the chains touched the Dark Magic Tattoo on the back of his neck, a piercing alarm suddenly echoed throughout the Magic Castle.
"You thought you were the only one with a backup plan?" Aelia sneered as she tore open the collar of her gown, revealing the Azure Rose Totem at her Heart, resonating with the mark on Luna's forehead.
The Contract flipped to its Last Page on its own, and Luna's Lunar Bite Sigil was perfectly stamped in the Witness Section of the Heir Clause.
Moonlight suddenly pierced through the Dome, illuminating Luna. Unaware, she waved her small In Hand, as the blood-stained jade pendant absorbed the Ancient Magical Fluctuation emanating from the Contract.
No one noticed that within the cracks on the surface of the pendant, strands of Gold Thread were quietly flowing towards the East Wing's Magic Backlash Treatment Room—where her elder brother Fingertip suddenly twitched.
Moonlight penetrated the Treatment Room's Ice Crystal Dome, refracting a halo like a Broken Diamond on the surface of the Silver Magical Device.
Elder brother Pale's Fingertip was suddenly entwined by the flowing Gold Thread, as those Ancient Magical Fluctuations seeping from the pendant wandered through his Meridian.
The alarm of the Healing Device abruptly ceased, and thirteen years' worth of frost that had crystallized on his eyelashes began to fall.
"Bloodline Resonance?" Elder brother gazed in astonishment at his Palm and the Emerging Rose Mark—this was the Tooth Mark left by Luna when she bit his finger during a full moon.
The Monitoring Crystal in the Healing Chamber suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light, as his damaged Magic Core began to reform Frost Patterns under Luna's residual spiritual energy.
The Magic Mirror in the East Wing Corridor just happened to reflect an Arena Announcement—three days later, Silvermoon City would host its decennial Mage Qualification Tournament.
Elder brother's Mechanical Wheelchair unexpectedly disassembled and reformed into a Floating Staff. He staggered against the wall, discovering that his corroded Left Leg had miraculously grown new flesh.
"Sister..." he trembled as he touched the Gold Thread floating before his chest. Those Fine Threads suddenly wove together into a Mini Astrolabe caught during Luna's Hundred Day Feast.
As the instrument pointed to the Dark Compartment on the third shelf of his bookshelf, the long-dormant Ice Spirit Staff suddenly shattered its seal box, howling as it pierced through the blast-proof barrier of the Treatment Room.
Atop the West Tower's Astrology Platform, Second Brother was gazing intently at the magic sand suspended within the Crystal Hourglass.
The Amber Pocket Watch gifted by a close friend three years ago continued to tick, yet its back reflected the strange sigil Luna had drawn in his hair yesterday.
In a sudden motion, he used a dagger to cut his Fingertip, flicking a Blood Pearl into the hourglass—this was the Divination Technique taught to him by that person years ago, but now it had become a tool for verifying lies.
The Blood Pearl exploded into crimson mist within the hourglass, revealing a tampered Star Chart.
Second Brother's Pupil dilated sharply; it turned out that three years ago, on that Stormy Night, the so-called "accidental triggering of the Taboo array" rescue was actually a meticulously planned murder.
Furiously, he tore apart the Watch Chain but discovered at the break a piece of milk Sugar Paper that Luna had somehow slipped in, adorned with a crookedly drawn smiling sun.
"Foolish girl." He chuckled softly, his Eye Socket reddening as he traced his fingertip over the Milk Stain left on the Sugar Paper.
As moonlight illuminated the invisible Curse on the back of the Sugar Paper, the suspended magic sand suddenly formed a miniature tornado, swirling the Pocket Watch parts into a brand new Astrological Compass.
The Compass Needle spun wildly before finally settling on the Forbidden Zone seven levels beneath the castle.
In the Southern Courtyard's Magic Testing Ground, Brother San was casting his thousandth Fireball spell at a training Puppet.
The colorful rubber band Luna had placed around his Wrist during the full moon suddenly grew hot, and those "toys" she had gnawed on, marked with her Tooth Marks, automatically arranged themselves into an Elemental Resonance Array.
He looked at the Testing Crystal, which had finally surpassed 30% purity in magical power, and abruptly poured all of the Stimulant Potion he had intended to discard into the fountain.
From within the Water Mist emerged all the event Invitations he had missed during these years of neglecting his training, each one bearing his Father's disappointed annotations.
Brother San bit his lips fiercely, using his blood to draw a simplified amplification symbol on the Puppet's chest—an image reminiscent of the chaotic patterns the little girl Zhua Zhou had made by dipping the bottom of a Crystal Baby Bottle in jam.
As the final stroke of the spell closed, the Puppet suddenly evolved into a Three-Headed Flame Lion, singeing much of his meticulously groomed golden hair.
"Now that's more like it!" he laughed heartily as he mounted the Flame Lion, the blisters formed by the scorching on his forehead glimmering strangely in the moonlight.
The family Ranking Tablet at the edge of the testing ground suddenly trembled, and his previously last-place name began to slowly ascend into the Bronze tier, pushing out Leonard's illegitimate son's name with a crack resembling Ice Cracks.
The vibrations in the Assembly Hall of the main fortress grew more intense, as Aelia's Mechanical Cloak transformed into silver needles that began to form a Thorned Cage around the throne.
Leonard's Dark Magic Tattoo on the back of his neck suddenly oozed Zi Wu, and amidst the alarm bells, a baby's bright laughter mixed in—Luna was perched on Qin Si's shoulder, slapping at a floating Contract Fragment with her saliva-covered Palm.
With each slap, Golden Patterns flowed from her Palm's Rose Mark toward the direction of the Three Brothers.
When Eldest Brother's Ice Spirit Staff pierced through the Eastern Wing Dome, when Second Brother's compass illuminated the Ancient Magic Circle in the Forbidden Zone, and when Brother San's Flame Lion shattered the illegitimate son's name on the Ranking Tablet, Luna suddenly blew a Rainbow Bubble toward Leonard.
The bubble burst upon contact with the black mist, splattering Black Slime that solidified into a tangible Soundwave Blade amidst the alarm sounds.
Seizing the opportunity, Aelia manipulated Starlight Chains to tighten around the throne but soon discovered that Luna's Milk Tooth marks had inexplicably covered the chains; each indentation was filled with pure power capable of breaking magic.
"Father... does it hurt?" Luna suddenly tilted her head, her glass-like eyes wide open as she pointed her chubby finger at nothingness.
The Inheritance Clause that Leonard had tampered with suddenly materialized from the Contract, transforming into venomous snakes that lunged toward his Heart but burst into Pink Pacifiers upon touching his skin.
Qin Si took a half step back while clutching the swaddled infant, suddenly noticing Aelia's Mechanical Arm hanging down was subtly vibrating.
Moonlight swept over Lady of the Fortress Pale Lucius; deep within her pupil reflecting alarm's red glow, a fleeting crack silently spread across her Mechanical Iris.
Qin Si tightened her grip around the swaddled bundle, gazing at the spiderweb-like cracks on Aelia's Mechanical Iris—old scars left from twelve years ago when she had bravely withstood Black Magic to protect her pregnant mistress.
Amidst the red glow of the alarm, the grinding sound of gears inside the Mechanical Eye suddenly became sluggish, like crushed ice crystals struggling to roll through metal pipes.
“Madam, let me…” She reached out but was forced back a step by Aelia's silver-needled cloak.
The Starlight Chains piercing through the throne suddenly emitted a sharp hum, and the Dark Magic Tattoo on Leonard's nape began to ooze a viscous substance, which coalesced into serpentine runes climbing up the chains under the moonlight.
Luna suddenly grasped Qin Si's Emerald Earrings, her Milk Tooth biting into her Fingertip and drawing a crooked sun on the surface of the gem.
As the jade refracted the cold light of the Treatment Room's Ice Spirit Staff, Qin Si was reminded of that snowy night ten years ago—Aelia kneeling before the Magic Potion Workshop with feverish Luna in her arms, while her Mechanical Arm creaked under frost, and music from Leonard's ballroom echoed in the distance.
“You deserve better.” She pressed the swaddled bundle close to her Heart and softly sang a Requiem in Ancient Elvish Language, as Aelia had taught her.
The song triggered the moonstone in Luna's Swaddling Dark Bag, enveloping Aelia's Zhen Chan Mechanical Arm in a gentle Halo, temporarily sealing off the remnants of Black Magic seeping from Iris's cracks.
The Bronze Door of the Forbidden Zone swung open with a thunderous sound, and Lucius’s hand trembled slightly as he held his Broken Sword.
He looked at his Second Brother floating in the center of the magic circle, whose compass projected a Star Map that resonated with Luna’s Rose Mark on her forehead.
The Ice Crystal Mirror suddenly reflected a Golden Pillar in the direction of the main fortress—that was where he had torn Luna during her Hundred Day Feast and marked his Jian Qiao with a glowing Guardian Charm using Milk Stain.
“So it was you…” He brushed over the dried Milk Stain on Jian Qiao; three days ago, this Family Heirloom Sword had unexpectedly refused to serve him.
At this moment, however, the runes tainted by Forbidden Zone Magic Dust began to radiate warmth, guiding him toward the West Side Dark Compartment.
When his Broken Sword cleaved through the sealed Contract Box, yellowed Parchment revealed Leonard’s altered Inheritance Clause concerning an Illegitimate Child.
A crisp sound of shattering crystal echoed through the castle, and Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee.
He gazed at the Black Rose Xu Ying, who resembled Luna so closely, and finally understood why he had always avoided the Dark Magic Tome bestowed upon him by Father.
The Broken Sword unexpectedly transformed into a staff adorned with moonstone, as Zhang Jian pointed towards the infant in the cradle of the main fortress, bubbling away.
The Alarm Crystal in the Medical Room erupted collectively, and his elder brother staggered as he leaned against the Ice Spirit Staff.
His damaged Magic Core resonated with the spiritual energy emanating from somewhere within the castle. The Monitoring Mirror in the Healing Chamber suddenly reflected the scene of Luna's First Birthday Celebration—little Luna crawled across a floor strewn with Zhua Zhou items, stubbornly trying to stuff a saliva-soaked Astrolabe into the crevice of his Wheelchair.
"So it all began back then..." He trembled as he touched the icy tip of the staff, and those nerves that had been deemed permanently dead suddenly sent sharp pangs through him.
When the Ice Spirit Staff sensed the energy fluctuations from the direction of the main fortress, its body revealed marks left by Luna's Milk Tooth, each dent brimming with Pure Magic capable of breaking seals.
Aelia's Mechanical Bird let out a mournful cry, and the Starlight Chains began to disintegrate under Zi Wu's encroachment.
Leonard tugged at his bound arms, and a thick black mist surged from a hidden door behind the throne.
Luna suddenly tugged at a strand of Qin Si's hair, causing a blood-stained jade pendant to roll from the cradle's gap, perfectly wedged into the Peacock Stone Tiles' Dark Night Rose Pattern.
"Mother, look!" she exclaimed clearly for the first time. The crack in the jade pendant oozed Gold Thread that wove itself into a scene from three years ago—the wedding ceremony.
On the back of Leonard's Family Crest during Leonard's Last Night, there was an image drawn in Invisible Ink depicting his Heart Convergence Spell with Leonard's Concubine.
Aelia's Mechanical Eye burst forth with red light, and three thousand silver needles abruptly turned to pierce his Heart—an attempt to forcibly strip away the contaminated mechanical parts.
"Don't!" Qin Si lunged forward but was repelled by a Protective Barrier.
At the critical moment, Luna's hundredth bubble enveloped Aelia's wrist. The surface of the bubble revealed the eldest brother breaking the Ice Sealing Barrier, the compass of the Second Brother illuminating the Forbidden Book Zone Core, and Brother San's Flame Lion crashing through the Ranking Tablet during Leonard's Last Night.
Aelia's Mechanical Iris suddenly ceased its Zhen Chan. She gazed at the Magic Pillar rising from the direction of her three sons, a trickle of Blue Blood seeping from her pierced left shoulder, yet she laughed: "My Children..." When she turned to look at Luna, cracks in her Mechanical Eye spread into a Rose Pattern—an embodiment of Luna's Bloodline Power repairing her.
As the alarm grew fainter, the ancient sound of gears turning echoed from the castle's Underground.
Beneath Leonard's tattered robes, Dark Magic Tattoos slowly reformed in the moonlight.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand towards the East Terrace, where the family banner fluttered without wind. The bloodstains at the top of the flagpole eerily seeped into the stone crevices—this was the Coordinate where Leonard activated his secret legion in the Original.
When the last Starlight Chain transformed into a Light Spot and dissipated, fragments of Aelia's Mechanical Cloak automatically merged into half a battle flag.
She lifted Luna above her head, allowing the moonlight to gild the swaddling in silver.
Magic Mirrors throughout the castle simultaneously reflected this scene of Leonard's Last Night, and the illegitimate child's name on the Ranking Tablet was utterly shattered into dust.
"Before Dawn Tomorrow," Aelia's voice resonated through every corner of the castle, "all Heirs must come to the Contract..." She deliberately paused for a moment as her Mechanical Arm gently brushed over Luna's gnawed Contract Remnant Page.
The Tooth Marks suddenly projected a holographic image in the moonlight—there stood Leonard, clad in a full Glorious Robe, arms wide open on the steps of the Spring God Temple.
Luna’s cries timely erupted, drowning out Aelia’s fingers crushing the Communication Crystal.
As the last Crystal Fragment fell to the ground, the eldest brother in the Treatment Room finally swung his Ice Spirit Staff to shatter the Dome, and moonlight poured down like silver silk onto his newly formed Twin Legs.
