Karl's figure vanished into the night, as if swallowed by the darkness.
Where was he going?
What was he going to do?
What would become of the future of the Glorious Demon Fortress?
These questions weighed heavily on Luna's young heart.
Her small fists were clenched tightly, and her chubby cheeks were filled with worry.
No, she had to do something!
Luna knew all too well that according to the Original Plot, her brother Karl would be left completely disabled from this Magic Backlash, his Twin Legs would be rendered useless, and he would live in despair until his end.
This couldn't be allowed!
Her brother was so gentle, so strong; how could he end up like this?
She bit her lower lip, her little mind racing as she desperately recalled the hints in the book about breaking the curse.
That's right!
The Holy Light Spring Water!
In legend, there exists a Holy Relic that can heal all wounds.
The book mentioned that the Holy Light Spring Water is hidden deep within the Misty Forest, and only those with a pure heart can find it.
The next morning, Luna pretended to have a stomach ache, crying and insisting that Aelia take her to the Misty Forest.
Aelia, feeling heartbroken, disregarded everyone's advice and set off with Luna and a team of guards toward the Misty Forest.
In the Misty Forest, the fog swirled around them, making it impossible to see even five fingers in front of their faces.
Relying on her familiarity with the story, Luna guided everyone forward.
Finally, under Luna's guidance, they discovered the Holy Light Spring Water.
The spring water was crystal clear and emitted a faint golden glow, as if it contained boundless vitality.
Karl soaked in the Holy Light Spring Water for an entire night and miraculously regained his ability to walk, while his Magical Power also increased.
During the subsequent Magic Tournament, Karl fought his way through each round, winning three championships in a row and bringing glory to the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Luna watched her brother standing proudly on the podium, filled with joy in her heart.
She knew that her brother's Destiny had been completely changed by her.
The family's honor was reborn through the achievements of the eldest brother.
However, Luna knew that this was just the beginning.
What she aimed to change was not only her brother's Destiny but the entire family's Destiny.
In order to alter the family's Fate, Luna "accidentally" revealed to Aelia that Leonard had been keeping a mistress and had a child with her.
The news struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering Aelia's long-held fantasies about love and marriage.
She felt her world collapse in an instant, filled with pain and anger.
All those years of affection turned out to be lies!
Furious, Aelia confronted Leonard. At first, he attempted to argue, but when Aelia presented undeniable evidence, he fell silent.
Aelia's eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembling yet sharp as a knife: "Leonard, I must have been blind to fall in love with a man like you!"
Leonard tried to explain, but Aelia interrupted him: "Enough! I don't want to hear any more excuses! From today on, everything between us is over!"
Aelia's determination left Leonard feeling a twinge of panic; he never expected her to be so resolute.
He attempted to salvage the situation, but found it all to be in vain.
Aelia turned and walked away, leaving Leonard standing alone, filled with regret.
After recovering his magic, Karl actively assisted Aelia with the affairs of the Magic Castle, displaying an unprecedented sense of responsibility and maturity.
His composed demeanor brought Aelia great comfort and instilled in her a glimmer of hope for the future.
The dilemma faced by Second Brother was also resolved.
Luna revealed to him the details of his close friend's betrayal from the original book, and Second Brother suddenly realized that he had been kept in the dark all along.
His eyes filled with determination and fighting spirit, he resolved to break free from his predicament and regain his strength.
As night deepened, Luna lay in bed, gazing at the bright moonlight outside, yet her heart remained restless.
She knew that the crisis at the Magic Castle was not fully resolved; even greater challenges awaited them.
She turned to look at Brother San, who was sleeping in the next room, and softly said, "Brother San..."
The lights in Luna's room were still on, and moonlight streamed through the Carved Window Lattice, casting a silvery pattern on the carpet.
She walked to the window and gently called out, "Brother San."
Brother San, Aisriel, was once the envy of everyone in Magic Castle for his extraordinary talent, and he was the pride of his parents.
Unfortunately, that dazzling gift became an excuse for his indulgent laziness.
He believed that the talent bestowed by his lineage was enough to carry him through life, underestimating the need for hard work, until reality slapped him hard in the face.
“Come in, Xiao Luna.” A slightly lazy male voice drifted in from outside as the door creaked open.
He had never called her "sister" before, but recently, an unspoken understanding had quietly begun to grow between them.
Aisriel wore a robe with a half-open collar; his hair was somewhat disheveled, and his steps were light yet steady.
He entered Luna's room, and a faint scent of Xunxiang immediately filled the air.
Standing before Luna, he glanced down at her. The eyes that had always carried a hint of weariness seemed to shine with newfound light.
“You're looking for me to talk about my situation, right?” He raised an eyebrow, his tone casual, though the smile at the corner of his mouth felt somewhat stiff.
Luna nodded and got straight to the point. “If you don’t practice soon, you’ll really make the God of Magic cry.”
“...You little rascal,” Brother San chuckled softly as he crouched down to meet her gaze. However, his smile gradually faded. “I used to think that being born into a Magic Noble family meant I wouldn’t need to work hard. But now that my elder brother has moved on and Second Brother has actively sought me out to discuss advancing magic models... I suddenly realized that I’ve been standing still for too long.”
Luna gently patted his thin shoulders with her small hand and said sweetly, “It’s not too late for you to awaken. As long as you start putting in the effort, you’ll catch up. You’re our family’s third brother; how can you fall behind?”
At that moment, Aisriel suddenly felt that the little girl with the Baby Voice was like a star that had fallen from the distant sky, silently changing everyone’s Destiny.
The next day, before dawn, a familiar figure appeared in the training courtyard of the Magic Castle.
Aisriel stood at the center of the barrier, the Magic Circle slowly rotating beneath his feet. The energy fluctuations in the air became increasingly evident, and the light illuminated his determined face.
His magic wand trembled slightly, and spells that had once been neglected were now effortlessly cast, each word refined as if new.
Qin Si stood in a corner of the training ground, observing. She wore a dark green Starry Gown, her demeanor gentle yet upright.
In recent years, Qin Si had not only been Aelia's trusted right hand but also a key force in advancing the affairs of the Magic Castle.
That day, she personally finished correcting twenty volumes of Documents for Aelia, meticulously arranged three teams of knights for night patrols, and even took time to prepare Hemostatic Ointment for an injured servant.
"You did very well," Aelia gently embraced her that night, her voice soft and warm. "If it weren't for you, who knows what would have become of the Magic Castle."
Qin Si shook her head and lowered her gaze. "Madam, it is your trust that has allowed me to support this corner of the sky."
The bond between the two, forged in this fortress rife with intrigue, became unshakeable.
Meanwhile, Lucius, the youngest son of the Glorious Demon Fortress, finally shed his former impetuous demeanor.
He stood in the center of the courtyard alongside Karl and Aisriel, listening to Second Brother explain the system logic behind Magic Flow. In his eyes was no longer a sense of cynicism but a clarity truly befitting an Heir.
"Since the family hasn't been destroyed yet, I must make one last effort for it," he said earnestly, gripping the magical feather pen tightly.
Luna watched from a distance, a tender yet satisfied smile forming on her lips.
However, the darkness of the Magic Castle never sleeps and is unwilling to remain calm.
Just as everyone was working together, a few who disapproved of Aelia taking charge, the Old Steward among them, secretly cast several enchantments to confuse the protective barrier, aiming to create chaos and take back control for Leonard.
Upon hearing the servant report that blue light was emanating from the well, Luna quickly sensed traces of magical interference.
Feigning an "unintentional" intrusion into the backyard, she guided Qin Si to follow her.
Along the way, she deliberately tossed a piece of Zhen Mo Crystal into the well, prompting one of the Old Stewards to rush in to stop it, exposing everything.
This "accident" was seamlessly covered up; no storm brewed within the Magic Castle, yet the hidden crisis had quietly been resolved.
"It was that Young Miss," the Old Steward murmured as he was taken away. "She knows everything... She's just a child..."
From that day on, no one underestimated Luna.
Meanwhile, at the center of another whirlwind, Leonard's Concubine—Samantha—could no longer sit idly by upon hearing the news.
She knew all too well that once Aelia fully took control of the Magic Castle, her and her illegitimate child's positions would be precarious.
Thus, secretly hiring the Rogue Mage to spy on the movements inside and outside the Magic Castle, she even attempted to spread rumors that Luna was not a legitimate child.
However, that evening, the beast Messenger arranged by Samantha had not yet entered the castle when it was already trapped in a maze of Illusion Magic set up by Luna in advance.
In the illusion, she saw countless "Leonards" slowly turning their backs and leaving her, all cradling none other than Luna.
She screamed in madness, "You little monster! Who are you really?"
No one cared for the answer.
All that was known was that this counterattack quietly crumbled under the gentle smile of a true child.
The next day, Samantha hurriedly left with her son. She had intended to leave behind a final letter questioning Leonard, but before the ink could dry, the wind blew it into the fire pit, turning it to ash as if it had never existed.
Luna lay by the window with a picture book, gazing at the distant horizon bathed in golden light, softly murmuring:
"Magic Castle, it can be even better."
The door creaked open with Aelia's footsteps, steady yet silent.
She looked at the brilliance outside and then at Xiao Luna, who was snuggled up against a soft pillow yawning.
After a moment, she spoke softly, "I've made my decision."
The conversation halted, and the unspoken decision loomed like an approaching storm. The gentle light in Luna's room spilled softly onto the floor, illuminating her small figure as she leaned by the window, intently gazing at the brilliant hues of the sky. A slight smile, innocent yet content, graced her lips.
The Magic Castle was gradually improving; everything was moving in the direction she had hoped for.
Aelia entered quietly, her footsteps almost soundless.
She approached Luna, her gaze falling upon the girl's small face. Over these past days, she had witnessed the miracles brought forth by this Infant Girl. It was Luna who had pulled her from the depths of despair, and it was she who had reignited hope within the entire Magic Castle.
Aelia moved to the window, standing beside Luna as they both looked toward the distant sky. The sunset bathed her face in warm light, highlighting her resolute spirit. Her eyes were filled with determination and strength, as if she had already made an important decision.
"I have made up my mind," she said softly, her voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor.
Luna turned her head, curiosity sparkling in her eyes as she awaited Aelia's next words.
She understood that Aelia's decision would profoundly impact the future of the Magic Castle.
Taking a deep breath, Aelia seemed to cast aside all hesitation and unease. She slowly turned to face Luna, her gaze unwavering as she whispered, "I will… reshape the order of the Magic Castle."
Meanwhile, in the training grounds of the Magic Castle, Karl was drenched in sweat as he practiced his swordsmanship.
The healing properties of Holy Light Spring Water had not only restored his Twin Legs but also enhanced his Magical Power.
He worked harder than ever before; he was determined to protect his home and those he loved with his own strength.
The sword glimmered, accompanied by a series of wind sounds, each swing filled with power and determination.
Aisriel had shed his previous laziness, standing in the center of the Magic Circle, fully focused on sensing the flow of Magic Element.
He began to reassess his talents, no longer viewing them as an excuse for indulgence but rather as a responsibility and a mission.
He aimed to use his gifts to contribute to his family and lay bricks for the future of the Magic Castle.
Meanwhile, Lucius stood in the study, diligently studying the Grimoire of the Magic Castle.
He began learning how to manage family affairs, how to interact with others, and how to become a competent Heir.
He was no longer the cynical youth but a man bearing the heavy responsibilities of his family.
The atmosphere within the Magic Castle was filled with positivity and ambition.
Everyone was working towards a common goal, each person filled with hope for the future.
However, beneath the calm surface, dark currents stirred.
In a shadowy corner, several Old Stewards gathered together, their faces marked by dissatisfaction and resentment.
They could not accept Aelia's control over the Magic Castle, believing that she was merely a woman who lacked the capability to manage it properly.
They conspired to overthrow Aelia's rule and restore Leonard to the center of power.
"We can't go on like this!" one Old Steward whispered, his voice hoarse and cold. "That woman Aelia doesn't understand how to manage the Magic Castle; she will only lead it to destruction!"
"Exactly!" another Old Steward echoed. "We must do something; we can't let her continue her reckless ways!"
They began to secretly spread rumors, attempting to undermine Aelia's position within the Magic Castle.
They also colluded with some Rogue Mages, hoping to create chaos to achieve their goals.
The crisis at the Magic Castle had not been resolved by Luna's efforts; instead, it became more complex and insidious.
Just as everyone was working together to revitalize the Magic Castle, Luna suddenly sensed a dark magical aura quietly approaching.
This aura was filled with evil and malice, sending a wave of unease through her.
Her small face tightened as she scanned her surroundings with wary eyes.
She knew that a new crisis was about to descend.
Aelia looked at Luna, her expression complex.
