In the morning mist, the Crystal Chandelier shimmered with a hazy Halo. Luna lay on the Observation Platform, her Soft Cushion cradling her as her Chubby fingers poked at the flowing Yin Sha within the Starry Hourglass.
Last night, she had bribed the Night Owl with three milk candies, and now she was watching as the Feather Pen automatically sketched a power map of the Magic Castle on the parchment—this was the most discreet way she could think of to record her thoughts as a baby.
"Is the young lady playing with astrology again?" Qin Si entered, holding a silver Crystal Plate. Luna quickly flipped over to cover the parchment, grabbing her Rattle to produce a crisp sound.
The Nurse often said that this child particularly enjoyed the sound of crystal clashing, unaware that each "thud" was correcting the Prophecy Magic array she had laid out last night.
When Aelia pushed open the door, Luna was using a cookie moistened with saliva to arrange a constellation pattern on the table.
The Lady of the Fortress's Ashen Phoenix Emblem Skirt brushed over the crumbs and suddenly halted in front of a crescent mark drawn with Cherry Jam—this was the secret Coordinate of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine's Tryst from the Original.
"The moon has been pecked by crows," Luna mumbled suddenly, her words slurred as she raised her jam-covered Astrolabe.
This was her modified tool, which projected a Miniature Celestial Chart into the air when spun.
At that moment, what was projected onto the velvet curtains clearly showed Lucius, The Third Son of the Demon Fortress's Track from twelve hours of disappearance last week.
Aelia's Silver Scissors clattered to the ground as she bent down. Seizing the opportunity, Luna stuffed the cookie smeared with Prophecy Magic into her Palm.
The crispy cracks transformed into Guang Wen upon contact with skin, revealing an unfamiliar Dark Rose Scent water residue lingering on Leonard's Magic Robe—distinctly different from those grown in the Magic Castle Garden.
"Qin Si, I need the new Memory Crystal from the Eastern Realm." Aelia suddenly stood up, her Skirt sweeping away Luna's deliberately placed toy Crow Mask.
This little item picked up from the corridor of Eternal Night Palace still bore traces of Leonard's study's unique Dragon Blood Ink.
By the time Luna was taken for her afternoon nap, Qin Si had already donned a Shadow Weave Cloak capable of Concealment.
The Head Maid reprimanded the new maid, secretly slipping three Moonlight Stones capable of recording images into the basket of cleaning tools.
Luna listened from the Cradle, quietly reinforcing the Counter-Surveillance Charm hidden in Qin Si's Hair Bun with magic.
As Twilight painted the Magic Castle Spire in shades of red, Leonard returned, carrying the scent of Holly Wood.
His gentle hand stroked Luna's head, unaware that the infant in his arms was using the Heavenly Eye Technique to analyze the Violet Pollen on his cuff—this magical plant from the Border Black Market served as a medium for signals transmitted by Leonard's Concubine in the Original.
“Father, Fei Gao Gao!” Luna suddenly grabbed his silver Pocket Watch chain, using the moment it was tossed into the air to plant a Tracking Spell within the gears of the watch face.
As the Watch Chain brushed against her ear’s Starry Birthmark, the entire Magic Castle’s Defensive Barrier subtly vibrated—a resonance created between the Great Mage Reincarnator and the Castle Guardian Spirit.
In the late-night Library of Hidden Books, Aelia took a deep breath as she faced the floating twelve-sided Memory Crystal Screen.
In the footage brought back by Qin Si, Leonard’s Horse-drawn Carriage disappeared for three minutes every Wednesday at Emerald Bridge; Lucius’s Magic Contract bore an unfamiliar Fire Emblem; and Luna’s doodles during her afternoon nap, when pieced together without Awareness, formed a Prophecy Totem that altered their Family Crest.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the Observation Platform.
Aelia rushed over with her Night Light, only to find Luna’s Crystal Baby Bottle shattered beside the Starry Hourglass, with spilled Milk Stain forming an Iris in the moonlight: “When roses become weapons.”
This was a Milk Divination game they often played in their childhood, but now mixed within the Milk Stain was Xing Xu, clearly an Advanced Warning Magic.
At that moment in the East Wing of the Magic Castle, Luna's disabled elder brother frowned at his Astrolabe.
On its surface condensed Luna's Magical Fluctuation from last night’s modification of the barrier began to emerge faintly.
He turned his Wheelchair closer to the windowsill and discovered that a half piece of a Teething Biscuit engraved with Guardian Runes was stuck in the Window Lattice Gap—this had recently become his Young Sister's favorite "toy."
As the morning mist enveloped the surroundings once more, a startled cry echoed from the kitchen.
The Prophecy Cookie that Luna had hidden in the flour jar last night had been baked, each one cracking to reveal the faces of family members.
A piece resembling Aelia oozed Violet Juice from its cracks, while Leonard's cookie sprouted raven feathers—these "accidents" were quietly being packed into the Liang Jin Food Box, soon to be presented as evidence to the council.
As the morning mist carried the scent of baked Cedar Fragrance into the East Wing Tower, elder brother Pale was gently stroking a Teething Biscuit engraved with Guardian Runes.
The Wheelchair rolled over the Starry Carpet adorned with the pattern of Orion, stopping within the pale blue Halo cast by the Astrolabe—the instrument's surface, coated in condensation, suddenly refracted a rainbow of Light Spots, reflecting the flickering Xing Huo in his Pupil.
"Click."
The cookie was pressed into the Groove at the top of the Astrolabe, and surprisingly, the previously broken Star Trail began to flow once more.
Elder brother noticed that the Thorn Emblem on the Wheelchair Armrest was glowing with a Red Glow. The Curse Chain that had entwined his Twin Legs for a decade split open, revealing a gap as fine as a strand of hair in the light of Xing Hui.
A loud explosion erupted from the West Alchemy Laboratory, shattering a Crystal Vessel.
Second Brother, clutching a half-burned roll of Contract Parchment, collapsed amidst the chaos. The Heart Devouring Curse, planted when he was betrayed by his closest friend, burned fiercely in his chest.
Amidst shards of glass, his bloodshot eyes reflected back at him. The ember of a long-extinguished Phoenix Fire Seed, which should have died out three years ago, suddenly sparked to life on the surface of a Contract Fragment.
"Brother wants candy!"
Luna's sweet baby voice pierced through the barrier as a rolling Rainbow Candy Ball crashed against the edge of the Experiment Table.
Second Brother stumbled to catch the splattered candy pieces, discovering that each one was wrapped in a miniature Purification Array—the very basic alchemy technique he had taught to his young sister just last night.
On the abandoned Training Ground of the Southern Courtyard, Brother San's Flame Sword shattered the Phantom Target for the third time.
Sweat trickled down his twisted Frost Pattern, evaporating into a strange Zi Yan on the bluestone slab—this was the Curse Mark that had been mistakenly identified as an Ice Mage during the Talent Assessment.
He suddenly froze, the Sword Tip catching a crumb that had stuck to it at some unknown time, while Caramel-colored Ice Cracks transformed into the fiery Phoenix Totem.
"Third Young Master!"
The servant's panicked shout was drowned out by the sound of an explosion.
Brother San stared blankly at the Palm that danced with Crimson Gold Flame; those Ice Spells he had been misled to practice for Twenty Years were now reversing into Fire Elemental Origin within the Phoenix Totem.
The century-old snow on the Training Ground began to steam, morphing into a soaring flame bird in the morning sun.
At noon, ripples suddenly appeared on the Defensive Barrier of the Magic Castle Dome.
Aelia stood beneath the Crystal Dome in the rose garden, watching as the Phoenix Tail Feather gradually became clear in the Family Crest Projection—this was the first appearance of the Fire Element Inheritance Mark in thirty years.
Her Warning Bracelet on her Wrist suddenly snapped, pearls rolling into a Star Array made by Luna with Moonlight Crumbs, forming three Burning Family Crests.
"Madam, news has come from the East Wing!" Qin Si called out as she navigated through the automatically growing rose Thorns, her Shadow Weave Cloak still speckled with shards of Memory Crystal. "Young Master's Astrolabe has illuminated the Inheritance Star Map, and there are cracks appearing in Second Young Master's Heart Devouring Curse. Third Young Master's Training Ground..."
Aelia's Rose Ring suddenly grew hot, and she turned to look toward the Nursery.
Luna was perched on the windowsill munching on cookies, her chubby little hands gesturing toward the sky. With every crumb of Moonlight Crumbs that fell, a barely noticeable Magic Light Spot flickered to life somewhere within the Magic Castle.
Before twilight descended, her disabled elder brother halted his Wheelchair in front of the Forbidden Book Pavilion.
His pale fingers pressed against the Bronze Griffin Door Knocker, the Ancient Barrier that had once denied him entry now resonating with Xing Hui's wheelchair armrest.
As the first volume of the Stellar Chain Breaking Technique flew into his arms, a Meteor Shower streaked across the Star Trail marked with jam by Luna during the day.
The laboratory of the Second Young Master was brightly lit throughout the night.
The Purification Array formed a three-dimensional Star Map surrounded by candy, materializing the Heart Devouring Curse as a serpent entwined around the Contract Text.
When the first ray of dawn light illuminated the Crystal Baby Bottle that Luna had secretly slipped in, the refracted Rainbow Light transformed into a blade that pierced through the serpent, pinning it to the bottom of the Alchemical Cauldron covered in magical arrays.
The Third Young Master's Flame Sword pierced through the last Ice Crystal Barrier of the Training Ground at dawn.
As the Fire Phoenix soared past the Magic Castle Spire, Luna's Luna's Teething Biscuit Jar suddenly erupted with resonance.
A cookie engraved with the Fire Emblem flew out on its own, landing precisely in Brother San's sweaty palm, transforming into a Family Ring flowing with Lava.
As the Seventh Star vanished into the clouds, an Albatross passing by the Magic Castle suddenly deviated from its course.
The Secret Silver Bell tied to its claws jingled, and the Lucius Family Crest engraved on Ling She flickered in and out of sight, illuminated by three soaring Magic Pillars in the distance.
When seven shooting stars crossed over the Magic Castle Spire, Lucius tightened his grip on the Secret Silver Bell.
In the Magical Projection brought by the Albatross, Brother San's Flame Sword was cleaving through a century-old Frost Barrier, while the Purification Array in Second Brother's laboratory was billowing black mist. Meanwhile, Young Sister, who should have only been drooling, was now leaning over the Observation Platform, using Moonlight Crumbs to reconstruct the Celestial Chart.
"Third Young Master Lucius, this is this morning's Family Morning Report." The sheepskin scroll handed to him ignited upon contact with his palm, emerging from the ashes was a seal made with Leonard's unique Dragon Blood Ink from his study.
Lucius's pupils constricted as he recognized that yesterday at the border he had seen the Fire Emblem Contract now overlapping with the Family Crest amidst the ashes.
Luna's Teething Biscuit Jar suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
She tilted her head, watching as the energy coalesced into Lucius's Xu Ying, which precisely struck the Secret Silver Bell in Xu Ying's hand with a Crystal Baby Bottle.
As Ling She collided with the Crystal Pacifier, Shan Na, hidden within Third Young Master Lucius's sleeve, revealed a Magic Contract—an oath signed with the Phoenix Legacy.
"Protect... Xiong Xiong..." Luna deliberately referred to the Phoenix Totem as a teddy bear, while her chubby fingers turned the Starry Hourglass upside down three times.
The Contract in Lucius's arms suddenly became scorching hot, and the Gold Foil Text automatically reformed into Luna's doodle—a pattern she had drawn with jam. At the center of the altered Family Crest, a Burning Phoenix Tail Feather prominently appeared.
At that moment in the Castle West Wing, Leonard was sprinkling Violet Pollen into the Divination Pool.
The water reflected his meticulously trimmed beard, but as he turned, it suddenly surged into Aelia's Lucius.
The Star Sand settled at the bottom of the pool suddenly formed a Warning Text, only to shatter into ordinary bubbles as he leaned in to take a closer look.
"My Lord, the Memory Crystal from the Eastern Trade Caravan." The butler presented a Black Velvet Box containing twelve crystals that displayed normal trade images.
Leonard failed to notice that beneath the box's Hidden Layer lay half of a Rainbow Candy Wrapper—an Anti-Scrying Charm that Luna had stuck on last night, now reflecting the true Surveillance Footage into Aelia's Dressing Mirror.
Aelia's Rose Ring cut into her palm.
Within the Memory Crystal, Leonard's Horse-drawn Carriage was clearly hidden beneath the Emerald Bridge that vanished every Wednesday, leading to a Teleportation Circle to the Border Black Market.
As Leonard's Last Night switched to Leonard's Concubine, revealing the Fire Emblem Tattoo on her neck, the Grooming station suddenly erupted with Strong Light, causing Luna's Teething Biscuit hidden there during the day to automatically assemble into a Prewarning Array.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius has returned early." Qin Si's voice was low and tremulous as half a roll of Parchment slipped from his Shadow Weave Cloak.
As Aelia unfolded, Luna's Milk Stain accidentally dripped onto a crucial paragraph, revealing the Contract Text tainted by the Heart Devouring Curse, which suddenly displayed the guarantee Signature written by Lucius in Phoenix Blood.
When Lucius stepped into the Main Hall, he encountered his elder brother's Wheelchair rolling over the Starry Carpet.
The brothers' gazes, having not met for twenty years, collided in the air, and the Wheelchair Armrest of Xing Hui unexpectedly projected the Star Chart that Luna had modified the previous night.
The Secret Silver Bell at Lucius's Waist began to ring on its own, causing the loose Curse Chain on his brother to appear transparent.
"The smell of Father... so unpleasant!" Luna suddenly exclaimed as a maid carried her into the hall, pointing her Crystal Baby Bottle towards Leonard.
The Violet Pollen from the Lord's cuffs manifested unexpectedly in her childish words, transforming into countless thorny vines that wrapped around his Scepter.
Lucius raised his hand to help, but saw his Young Sister winking at him slyly; those vines instantly bloomed into Blood Roses.
As Leonard shattered the vines, Luna "just happened" to spill juice.
Pomegranate juice seeped into the Floor Tile Gap, automatically activating Aelia's Manifestation Array laid out the previous night.
Hundreds of Fire Emblem Projections emerged from the hall's walls, each perfectly overlapping with Leonard's Concubine's Neck Tattoo.
The Lord's well-maintained smile finally showed cracks, yet he forced himself to remain calm: "It's merely an enemy's scheme..."
His defense was interrupted by a sudden Magic Resonance.
The Purification Beam from Second Brother's laboratory pierced through three floors, dyeing the Crystal Chandelier in the Main Hall with vibrant colors.
The howling of Brother San's Flame Sword echoed from the Training Ground, shattering all false Fire Emblem Projections.
Luna seized the opportunity to stuff the last half of the Prophecy Cookie into Lucius's palm, the cracks of the cookie shimmering with the Yellowed Pages of the Stellar Chain Breaking Technique that her elder brother was deciphering.
As Twilight enveloped the thirteenth layer of the Magic Barrier, Leonard stood alone on the Observation Platform.
The gem core of his Family Scepter developed a web-like crack, yet he could not find the reason—this was a backlash from the Tracking Spell that Luna had planted during the day.
The Lord sneered at the false starry sky, unaware that behind him, within the Starry Hourglass, the family's Destiny represented by Yin Sha was quietly flowing towards Aelia's bedroom.
Aelia pressed the blood-stained Rose Ring into the Memory Crystal Array Eye, and twelve facets of Crystal simultaneously reflected different angles of Betrayal Evidence.
Qin Si silently affixed the Counter-Surveillance Charm to the doors and windows, only to see Luna's Cradle suddenly rise with a Starlight Barrier—this was the ultimate defense laid down by the Great Mage Reincarnator without Awareness.
At midnight, Lucius knelt in the Ancestral Hall.
Before him lay an open Contract that automatically flipped to the guarantee page; the crumbs of cookie Luna had given him were transforming into Phoenix Blood to repair the damaged Magic Mark.
As the first rays of dawn pierced through the Stained Glass, Third Young Master Lucius suddenly cut his finger, inscribing the true Guardian Oath into the Contract's Hidden Layer.
A silence enveloped the Magic Castle before the storm arrived.
In the kitchen, a sweet aroma of baking mingled with gunpowder, as an automatic cleaning Magic Broomstick repeatedly collided with a suddenly appearing barrier Node.
The servants hurried along with their heads down, oblivious to the flickering Xing Huo in the eye sockets of corridor armor, which occasionally reflected shadows of people hastily destroying evidence in the Outer Courtyard.
The Starry Hourglass on the Observation Platform suddenly ceased its flow.
Luna rolled over to suppress the restless Luna's Teething Biscuit Jar, inside which twelve cookies engraved with family members' names began to heat up simultaneously.
The castle's underground echoed with the long-silent Alarm Bell, startling a flock of Albatrosses that swept past the Cracking False Starry Sky. The wind stirred by their wings carried a mingled Death Fragrance of violet and Blood Rose.
As the Morning Prayer Bell chimed for the seventh time, sparks suddenly erupted from the oven where fresh Almond Crisps were baking.
In their panic, the cooks discovered that each flaky pastry bore a fragmented Family Crest on its underside. The Silver Tray reflected the Dome Barrier, now shimmering with a dark red hue reminiscent of congealed blood.
"I heard the Young Master entered the Forbidden Book Pavilion last night!" whispered the Head Maid as she polished a Crystal Cup, its walls suddenly revealing Xu Ying deciphering the Star Chain.
Qin Si, who was polishing a candlestick, trembled as a drop of Whale Oil Wax fell onto the broken section of Xu Ying's Curse Chain, sealing secrets within the solidified wax bead.
As Leonard's Silver Boots crossed the courtyard, newly sprouted Wild Roses suddenly grew wildly from the stone crevices.
Vines crushed the dark embroidered Violet Pattern on his cloak but turned to Ashes upon touching his Scepter—no one noticed Luna's Rattle caught in the Fountain Statue's Palm, where two Crystal Beads directed residual Plant Magic into Geomancy.
The Noon Family Meeting was interrupted by an eerie clash of Ice and Fire.
Brother San was surrounded by swirling crimson flames that charred the Long Table, while Second Brother's Fingertip pulsed with a Purification Spot that frosted the Silverware.
Luna sat on Aelia's lap, deliberately spilling juice that spread across the Tablecloth in a flowing pattern resembling a starry river, perfectly concealing the Emerging Phoenix Blood Pact on Lucius's Hand Back.
"The Observation Mirror in the Southwest Tower is cracked!" The Knight's alarm rang out alongside the sound of shattering crystal.
Everyone looked up to see the Dome Stained Glass reflecting scenes from the Outer Courtyard, where frantic figures burned Letters. Meanwhile, the true Mirror Crack formed Luna's Warning Symbol made from Teething Biscuits three days prior.
Aelia's Rose Bracelet suddenly tightened around her Wrist Bone, causing twelve pearls to roll into Luna's Anti-Magic Spider Silk Bib.
The infant Laughter giggled as it stuffed pearls into a Cookie Jar, where the engraved Guardian Array automatically arranged them into an Evidence Chain.
As the last pearl clicked into place, a deafening sound erupted from the kitchen—a manifestation of the flour, enchanted with a Manifestation Spell, was projecting the contents of a Secret Letter into the rising smoke.
When Twilight descended, the armor displayed in the Magic Castle Corridor suddenly turned to face a new direction.
The rusted blade pointed toward the secret passage of the Treasure Pavilion, while the battle scars on the surface of the shield formed a count of Leonard's Concubine's Shadow Guards under the moonlight.
The patrolling Old Butler raised his oil lamp for a closer look when Luna's colorful ball, which had rolled in during midday, suddenly exploded, wrapping colorful ribbons around his wrist as he reached for the alarm bell.
In the Cellar, an Oak Barrel began to leak Crimson Liquid, sketching out the outline of a map to the Border Black Market on the stone floor.
As the apprentice from the Wine Cellar rushed in panic to report, no one noticed that Luna's Silver Spoon had gotten stuck in the drain, its handle’s Starry Birthmark transforming Blood-red Wine into a Memory Crystal’s storage Magic Medium.
At Midnight, Lucius stood on the terrace gazing at the distorted night sky.
An Albatross feather landed on his outstretched Palm, and as Magic Ink seeped from its quill, it suddenly revealed his Young Sister's Tooth Mark—those seemingly careless bite marks were actually key spells to dispel Contract Backlash.
When he pressed the feather against his Heart, Southeast suddenly illuminated with dawn cleaved by Brother San's Flame Sword.
The Starry Hourglass in the Nursery emitted faint cracking sounds as Luna clutched half a cookie and gazed into the void.
Moonlight filtered through her eyelashes, casting flickering shadows on the wall, reminiscent of that prophetic night from the Original when blood flowed like rivers.
From beneath Castle Leyline came a Zhen Chan that only a Great Mage could perceive; a dark current that should have awakened three years later was quietly surging beneath Leonard's study.
