Golden dust floated within the Starlight Barrier, as Luna's chubby fingers traced the trembling crack in Aelia's wedding ring.
Suddenly, a rainbow light burst from the infant's neck, weaving an illusion of Leonard and the Red-Haired Woman entwined together in the void—exactly as recorded in the First Generation Family Head's Notebook, under the title "Bloodline Echo" and "Forbidden Technique."
"Mother, look… Father is hiding a singing nightingale in Emerald Alley," Luna's baby voice carried the resonance of the Great Mage, causing more eerie sounds to echo from the direction of the ancestral hall.
She deliberately let the starlight illuminate Aelia's left hand, where a fresh crack marked her ring finger—left from when her husband had mentioned repairing the magic pattern just last night.
Aelia suddenly covered her lips.
Three days ago, the blue iris pollen clinging to Leonard's neck matched perfectly with the scent of the magic potion in the illusion, emanating from the Mistress's hair.
As she stumbled backward, she knocked over a crystal chandelier, and twelve flames reflected various betrayals from different timelines: last year's Dong Lian when her husband had worn a black rose headband hidden in his cloak, and last month when he claimed he was going to inspect the Northern Territory but appeared instead beneath a velvet canopy in the illusion…
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si rushed in to support her swaying mistress but was repelled by the barrier.
The hemostatic gauze that slipped from the maid’s sleeve made Luna’s pupils constrict—this was precisely what Aelia had used during her difficult labor when she died, as recorded in the original book, wrapped around the baby by Qin Si within the Dark Sanctuary and Cursed Fabric.
The infant suddenly let out a blood-curdling screech.
Within the sealing array, twelve rays of gold thread surged forth, precisely piercing the cursed marks on the Three Brothers.
The eldest brother's wheelchair armrest melted completely, as dark red curse inscriptions formed "Parricide" in ancient demon script upon the ground; the second brother’s waist charm gifted by a close friend suddenly exploded, revealing an image of the Mistress hidden inside; Brother San’s palm transformed into a three-dimensional map of Emerald Alley Manor.
"Mother, do you remember?" Luna pressed the star map against Aelia's heart. The infant's soft voice carried millennia of sorrow. "Father said my Luna is a mark of glory; in truth, it is… a Blood Curse Nexus."
A thunderous crash echoed from the direction of the ancestral hall as the First Patriarch's Unicorn Skeleton wielded a rusted Scepter, cutting through the air.
At the top of the Scepter, a dark Purple Crystal gleamed, identical to the Engagement Token hidden in Leonard's Study Room Secret Compartment.
Suddenly, a broken shout from Lucius pierced through the barrier.
The diamonds on Third Young Master Lucius's Watch Chain formed a vivid red countdown in the void. As the last fragment of the Wedding Ring sank into Luna Mei Xin, Violet Vines, carrying the Mistress's Cedar Fragrance, surged forth from the Earth Rift.
The Dome of the ancestral hall became blindingly bright, and Twelve Rays of Gold Thread seared black marks onto his brothers' Curse Marks.
His elder brother gripped the Wheelchair Armrest tightly, his knuckles turning white. As the melted Magic Crystal Stone pooled on the Ground to form blood-red Curse characters, he suddenly tore open his collar—revealing a dark purple Curse beneath his Collarbone that mirrored their Father's Study's Family Crest.
"Last year's Full Moon Festival..." His Raspy Voice sounded like rusty gears. "Father said my Bone Corrosion Curse needs nurturing from a Close Bloodline." The Wheelchair rolled over the crimson 'Parricide' Ancient Demon Script on the ground, producing a painful grinding sound from the Metal Hub.
The shards of Second Brother's protective talisman exploded and fell to the ground, while the Mistress's Image was swept onto the remains of a crystal chandelier by the wind.
When he recognized the three moles on the earlobe of the woman in the painting, he staggered and leaned against a stone pillar—it was unmistakably the Mysterious Healer who had helped him concoct healing potions three months ago.
"You said the Northern Ice Lotus could repair my Magic Circuit!" he screamed into the void, as fire elements gathered in his Palm uncontrollably scorched his sleeves.
Luna curled up in the center of the Star Map, her infant Pupil reflecting the Emerging Contract Magic Pattern behind Second Brother—those were Soul Shackles signed with blood from a dear friend.
Brother San's trembling Fingertip brushed against the Three-Dimensional Projection of Emerald Alley Manor. When a carved window's Wisteria pattern flickered in the air, he let out a primal growl.
The Elemental Sphere shattered in his palm, the so-called "Elemental Affinity" that had been praised for twenty years now transformed into countless icy needles piercing the Meridian—those so-called talent assessments were merely a ruse by Father to conceal the existence of his illegitimate child.
Qin Si lunged towards the edge of the barrier, blood seeping from the wrist ensnared by the Dark Sanctuary's Cursed Fabric.
Luna noticed that the silver cross around the maid's neck began to spin counterclockwise, an omen reminiscent of Aelia's demise from blood loss in the original story.
The baby intentionally let out a loud cry, entwined with the Purification Spell, shattering the impending Death Omen.
"Young Miss..." Qin Si stared at her suddenly stopped bleeding wound, memories of assisting in childbirth at the Dark Sanctuary flooding back like a tide.
The violet fragrance that filled the delivery room back then perfectly matched the scent of the vines emerging from the Earth Rift at this moment.
Lucius stumbled backward, colliding with a stone pillar, as a blood-red countdown projection formed in the void reflected on his pale face.
When the last fragment of the wedding ring sank into Luna's Mei Xin, Third Young Master Lucius suddenly clutched his chest—the family crest of Leonard was burning hot against him, and the engraving on its back, Emerald Alley Coordinate, was glaringly clear.
"Mother..." Luna wrapped Aelia's cold hand with a Star Map. The baby's Luna oozed golden blood. "Your pregnancy-related lethargy is not due to physical weakness." Starlight converged into a sharp cone piercing the abdomen of the Lady of the Fortress, pulling out a wisp of Iris Soul entwined in black mist.
Aelia's wedding ring shattered completely, revealing a Micro Array before it hit the ground.
That was Leonard's handiwork—the Soul Engraving Technique. For twenty years, every night he claimed to be working late in his study had been spent transferring the Blood Curse that should have been placed on Eldest Son through the Wedding Ring.
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from the Castle Cellar as the Bone Scepter of the First Patriarch plunged into the banquet hall floor.
The tip of the Scepter cast a shadowy projection of the Genealogy, with Leonard's name alongside another name written in Invisible Ink, connected by a magical bloodline leading towards the direction of Emerald Alley Manor.
Luna floated in the Rainbow Light, her Lullaby Voice carrying the weight of a Great Mage's presence. "Brother San's elemental rampage was no accident." She pointed to the Magic Contract emerging on the Scepter's Base. "Father used your talent as collateral to exchange with the Dark Market Merchant for a Memory-Altering Magic Potion."
As Violet Vines wrapped around Lucius's Boot Heel, the moment the Pocket Watch's countdown reached zero, all the clocks in the castle suddenly froze.
The Scent Pouch slipping from Third Young Master Lucius's sleeve automatically opened, revealing the cherished Mother's Keepsake inside, exuding the same scent of Magic Potion as that on the Mistress.
A crisp sound of shattering crystal echoed from the West Tower, signaling the impending collapse of the Family Protective Barrier's core.
Luna gazed at the moon outside, now beginning to twist, knowing that an incident meant to occur three months later was rapidly approaching along a tampered Timeline.
The Magic Star Trajectory of Castle Dome emitted a screeching sound as gears jammed. When Leonard stepped into the banquet hall, the Crystal Chandelier cast distorted shadows of Twelve Rays onto his cloak embroidered with Gold Thread.
He instinctively reached for his Waist and Leonard's Sword but instead touched the Violet Brooch that the Mistress had pinned there last night—its metallic petals still held remnants of dried Magic Potion.
"My dear, why did you take the First Patriarch's..." His voice caught in his throat as the Genealogy projection cast by the Scepter fell upon Luna.
The name written in Invisible Ink burned into his Pupil, while the magical bloodline leading to Emerald Alley Manor twisted violently into a noose shape.
Aelia stepped over the scattered Crystal Fragments, trailing phosphorescent Wedding Ring shards behind her Skirt.
When Brother San’s ice needles erupted from Meridian and suddenly hovered in mid-air, forming an Architectural Blueprint of Emerald Alley Manor, she yanked off her Star Moon Necklace from her Neck and hurled it at her husband. "When you used Bone Corrosion Curse against Eldest Son, did you also add a Blood Curse to my An Tai Yao?"
The necklace exploded at Leonard's feet, transforming into Xing Mang. Each fragment of Broken Diamond reflected the scene from last year—his Left Arm, feigned to be scratched by the Demon Wolf, now clearly displayed the marks left by the Black Rose headband.
As Lord stepped back, he knocked over a Bronze Candlestick, and the melted Wax formed the outline of Mistress Lucius on the Ground.
"This... this is slander!" Leonard waved his hand, trying to dispel the illusion, but from his sleeve wafted the same Violet Fragrance as the vines.
His hurried Jie Yin motion made Luna squint; suddenly, the infant Luna shot out a Gold Thread, rewriting his Defensive Formation into a Confession Contract's Magic Pattern.
Second Brother let out a sob like a dying beast.
He tore open his collar to reveal the Mistress Image at his Heart, where lines drawn with Contract Magic Pattern began to ooze Blood Pearl. "Does Father know that Mia mixed Soul Devouring Grass into the Ice Lotus?" Fire elements surged from his Fingertip but bizarrely veered off course just before reaching Leonard—Twenty Years Ago's father-son Guardian Spell was still in effect.
Lucius suddenly knelt on the ground, and Amber pills rolled out of the Scent Pouch, automatically arranging themselves into an hourglass.
As the last pill embedded itself into the Watch Chain forming the countdown, a Roar echoed from the West Tower as the barrier's crystal core shattered.
Third Young Master Lucius covered his bleeding ears and shouted, "Why is my birthday used as a password for the memory-erasing water in Father's Study's Dark Compartment's third layer?"
"Enough!" Leonard erupted with dark purple fighting spirit, shattering all glassware in the banquet hall.
He stepped over First Patriarch's Unicorn Skeleton's Palm, and a rusted Scepter suddenly flew into his Hand. "The Glorious Demon Fortress' three hundred years of foundation will not be..."
His words were interrupted by a Blood Curse chain shot from Eldest Son's Wheelchair Armrest.
As the chains wrapped around his ankles, a magic circle emerged from the nursery of twenty years ago—one he had embroidered by hand on the swaddling of his eldest son, bearing the family crest. "Father once said this was a mark of blessing," his elder brother said, tearing open his collar. The curse beneath his collarbone resonated with the scepter and crystal. "Now it begins to backfire on the caster."
Aelia suddenly let out a light laugh, and her laughter turned the remaining candle flames of the crystal chandelier into a ghostly blue.
She picked up the last emerald fragment from the wedding ring, reflecting it in the moonlight to reveal the miniature soul engraving technique inside. "Every full moon night, when you say you’re going to reinforce the barrier, you’re actually transferring the curse meant for the children onto me through this wedding ring, aren’t you?"
Luna's loud cry suddenly transformed into an ethereal hymn, her golden blood seeping from her neck and painting a memory frame of her pregnancy in the void.
Everyone saw Leonard standing at his sleeping wife's bedside late at night, pressing a liuli bottle containing the blood curse against her swollen abdomen—at that moment, Aelia still had the winter hunt amulet prepared for him resting beside her.
"No..." Leonard futilely waved his scepter but shattered the stained glass window that symbolized family glory.
As violet vines surged through the broken window and coiled around his arms, all the clocks in the castle suddenly began to spin backward wildly. The butler rushed in in a panic, shouting, "Emerald Alley Manor... we’ve unearthed something in that mansion's basement..."
"Shut up!" The lord's magical blade severed half of the butler's beard, but more screams from servants echoed down the corridor.
The first patriarch’s unicorn skeleton suddenly raised a hand to grip Leonard's thin shoulders. The crystal at the tip of the scepter projected a new genealogy—next to Leonard's name, names written in invisible ink began to erode the main branch's bloodline power.
Luna curled up within the star map, her pupils reflecting each person's fate line in the banquet hall.
When she saw Aelia’s skirt stained with emerald fragments beginning to reassemble, she deliberately let a beam of starlight shatter the forming resurrection array—this forbidden technique that had caused their mother’s soul to scatter in the original story now dissipated like phosphorescence in the night wind.
Leonard suddenly fell silent.
He caressed the Engagement Token of the Mistress on the Scepter, a strange smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "You should really see the Family Portrait from Three Hundred Years Ago." In the beams of light bursting from the dark Purple Crystal, the images of the successive Ladies of the Fortress emerged one by one—each adorned with a Wedding Ring set with different colored jade on their ring fingers, and the interiors of the Ring Faces were all engraved with the same Soul Engraving Technique.
Aelia stumbled against a stone pillar, and beneath her bloodied palm, a Remnant Page of the First Matriarch's diary emerged from the pillar's surface.
The words "Glory Is A Shackle," written in Ancient Demon Script, began to seep through her skin into her Blood Vessels.
Luna's Luna suddenly ceased bleeding, and the Star Map folded into a Gold Thread Embroidery on the swaddled infant.
She gazed at the people in the banquet hall, some furious, others in despair, as her chubby little hand grasped a wisp of dissipating Violet Fragrance.
Moonlight streamed through the shattered Dome and reflected in the infant's Pupil, revealing a night of lunar eclipse soon to be stained red with blood—but at that moment, she merely let out a sleepy yawn and buried her face in Aelia's garment, which still carried the scent of Iris Fragrance.
The air in the banquet hall seemed to freeze into crystalline ice when Leonard's Palm suddenly erupted with blinding light from the dark Purple Crystal.
Luna curled up in the center of the Star Map, her infant Pupil swirling with millennia of Star Trails. She saw names erased from the Genealogy projected by the Scepter oozing Light Gold blood.
"Mother, look at the moon." Luna suddenly extended her finger stained with Golden Blood, imprinting a Laurel Pattern on Aelia's garment.
At the broken part of the Dome, ripples resembling Blood Veins appeared along the edges of Silver White Yue Lun—this was indeed a precursor to what was recorded in ancient texts as the Soul-Eating Lunar Phase.
Aelia's Skirt moved without wind, and the Broken Diamond of her Star Moon Necklace reformed into a Thorned Crown in her Palm.
As the last Emerald Fragments of her Wedding Ring were ignited by moonlight, she abruptly pressed the Crown against Eldest Son's Wheelchair Armrest, bound by chains of Blood Curse.
The chains instantly crawled with frost, and Leonard's ankle was frozen, piercing through with the Curse that created cracks like a Spider Web.
"This is the Blessing curse you embroidered with your own hands twenty years ago." The elder brother tore open his collar, revealing the Dark Purple Spell beneath that was consuming the frost. "Now it begins to backfire on the true Caster." Suddenly, twelve Ice Binding Chains shot out from the wheelchair armrest, pinning Leonard next to the First Patriarch's Unicorn Skeleton.
The countdown hourglass on Lucius's Watch Chain suddenly froze, and the pills rolling out of the Scent Pouch formed an Emerald Alley Coordinate in midair.
When Third Young Master Lucius's trembling fingertip touched a certain Coordinate Point, Leonard's Family Crest suddenly burned through his formal attire—the birthday code emerging from the back was melting away.
"The third layer of the Dark Compartment in Father's Study..." He stumbled into a stone pillar, suddenly becoming aware of something as a top student in Potion Class. "Those Magic Potions said to be for Mother’s health were actually..."
Luna suddenly let out a clear laugh, and the infant Luna burst forth with Rainbow Light.
The Star Map, entwined with Violet Vines, pierced into the Earth Rift, pulling out a Bronze Box covered in dirt.
As the Box Lid popped open automatically, a Pregnancy Test Report from twelve years ago flew out entangled with the Emerald Alley property deed, each Yellowed Page stained with Dark Red Curse.
Aelia caught the falling Yellowed Pages. The note on the Pregnancy Test Report stating "An Tai Yao ingredient abnormality" coincided perfectly with the purchase date of Emerald Alley.
She suddenly raised her hand and sliced her fingertip; a Blood Pearl formed in midair into a Judgment Scale. One end bore Leonard's Violet Brooch from his neck, while the other end held the Family Crest embroidery from Eldest Son's swaddling.
"In the name of honor." Her voice wrapped in ice and snow, the scale tilted dramatically toward the Family Crest.
The Crystal on Leonard's Staff exploded in response, and the Mistress's Engagement Token turned to Powder and fell like dust.
The Dome Star Trail emitted a reverse roar of gears, and Luna seized the opportunity to slam the Star Map against the Contract Magic Pattern behind Second Brother.
The infant's Golden Blood seeped into the Demon Binding Shackles signed with her dear friend's blood, and suddenly the true form of the Northern Ice Lotus emerged from the void—within those translucent petals lay the remnants of a Secret Letter from Mia and Leonard.
"The Soul Devouring Grass requires the blood of Close Kin for cultivation." Second Brother tore open the cloth over his chest, and the Contract Line of Mistress Image suddenly wrapped around his neck. "So you want me to provide Heart's Blood every month..." The fire element reignited in his pupils, this time not turning towards Father, but instead incinerating the shrinking Magic Seal Shackles.
Brother San's Palm formed an Elemental Ice Needle that floated into a Star Map, overlapping with the Projection of Emerald Alley Manor and the Coordinates of Lucius Badge.
When he saw the arrangement of a child's room through a carved window, the Talent Assessment Form that had been praised for twenty years suddenly ignited from the void—each scoring column concealed the frequency of Magic Resonance he shared with a certain Emerald Alley Boy.
"So my Elemental Affinity..." He crushed the Ice Crystal Star Map with his bare hands, blood streaming from his palm as he pressed it against the Unicorn Skeleton of First Patriarch. "It was stolen!" The Bone Scepter suddenly broke free from Leonard's control, Automatic Writing began a new Genealogy, and a name that had been erased began to surface from Invisible Ink.
Luna's Loud Cry transformed into an ancient Spell, causing all Glass Shards in the banquet hall to rise into the air.
As Violet Vines wrapped around Leonard's throat, the infant's Star Map enveloped Aelia's Judgment Scale, piecing together a complete Truth Puzzle amidst the chaos.
The moonlight was suddenly swallowed by blood-red darkness, and at that moment when the Castle Protection Barrier completely failed, Luna used her last strength to imprint the Star Map onto Aelia and Mei Xin.
The infant drowsily closed her eyes and saw Mother picking up the Scepter; the Remnant Page of First Matriarch's diary transformed into a Light Spot that merged into her Bloodline.
As Blood Moonlight swept over the shattered Dome, Aelia saw herself from twenty years ago reflected in the Scepter—back then she was tucking an Iris Specimen gifted by her newlywed husband into her diary, while on the back of the Centaurea Specimen, faintly visible, was the Soul Contract Sigil signed between Leonard and First Consort.
