“Mother…” Luna's soft voice brushed against Aelia's taut nerves like a feather.
The fear of death had not yet dissipated, but her daughter's gentle call pulled her back to reality.
The Blood Red light did not consume them; could it be…?
Aelia slowly opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was Lucius's pale yet resolute face, along with his short sword in hand, flickering with a faint glow.
He had actually blocked that fatal blow!
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Luna's small hand reached out, holding a folded parchment, and in her baby voice, she offered it to her. “Mother, look at this.”
Aelia absentmindedly took it, her mind still replaying the harrowing scene from moments ago.
She casually unfolded the parchment, thinking it was just a child's doodle.
Her elder brother, Second Brother, and Brother San curiously gathered around, peering in to see what Sister was up to.
But Luna was serious, her chubby little finger pointing at the tiny inscriptions on the parchment. In her innocent voice, she declared, “Mother, Father… he…”
Aelia’s previously calm heart stirred with ripples as she finally focused on the contents of the parchment.
The delicate tiny inscriptions, the familiar tone… it was a love letter written by her husband, Leonard!
Every word in the letter revealed his affection for another woman and even… even news of their illegitimate child!
A chill surged from Aelia's feet straight to her head, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her.
For many years, the bond between them as husband and wife had been strong. In her heart, Leonard had always been a towering hero, a safe harbor for her and the children.
But now, this letter felt like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart and shattering the fantasies she had held for so long.
She couldn't believe it, nor did she want to. With trembling hands, she repeatedly confirmed each word on the page, as if trying to engrave them into her mind.
Yet those familiar tiny inscriptions and the sentimental love words mercilessly reminded her that it was all true.
"No... it can't be..." Aelia murmured, her face turning pale, her lips losing all color.
Her breathing became urgent, her chest rising and falling violently, as if she might faint at any moment.
"Mother!" Luna called out worriedly, gripping Aelia's sleeve tightly.
Her eldest brother, Second Brother, and Brother San also sensed their mother's distress and looked at her with concern.
They had never seen their mother so unhinged, and their hearts were filled with confusion and unease.
"Qin Si..." Aelia leaned weakly against the chair, her voice so hoarse it was barely audible.
Qin Si quickly stepped forward to support her, his eyes filled with pain and worry. "Madam, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Aelia merely shook her head, tears silently streaming down her cheeks and soaking her clothing.
She held Luna tightly, as if grasping at the last straw of hope.
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy and oppressive, with worry and unease written on everyone's faces.
Luna looked at Mother in pain, her heart filled with guilt.
She knew that revealing the truth was undoubtedly like pouring salt on Mother's wounds.
However, she could not stand by and watch Mother continue to be kept in the dark, deceived by Leonard.
Taking a deep breath, she spoke in a tender yet determined voice, "Mother, Brother's Magic Backlash..."
Luna's small hand remained tightly gripping Aelia's sleeve, her fingertips turning slightly white.
She inhaled deeply again, her youthful voice unusually resolute: "Mother, Brother's Magic Backlash is due to absorbing a dark energy-infused Magic Crystal Stone during his training. As long as we find Holy Water from the Light Element for purification, we can completely eliminate the dark energy within him and restore him to his former self."
Brother suddenly raised his head, looking at Luna in disbelief.
He had been disabled for many years due to the Magic Backlash and had long accepted this cruel reality.
Now, hearing Luna's words, the hope that had long been dormant in his heart ignited like a wildfire.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and excitement sparkled in his eyes.
Could it be that he still had a chance to stand again?
"Is it true? Luna, are you really telling the truth?" Brother's voice trembled with barely contained excitement.
He looked at Luna with longing, as if a drowning man had grasped a lifeline.
Luna nodded earnestly, her small face filled with seriousness: "Brother, it's true. I know where we can find Holy Water from the Light Element."
The elder brother stood up excitedly and walked in front of Luna, bending down to gently stroke her hair. "Luna, thank you, thank you!"
Luna turned to Second Brother. "Second Brother, your Magic Dilemma is due to a Binding Spell cast by a close friend. This Spell is complex, but it is not unsolvable. As long as you find a Spirit's Tear with Purifying Power, you can break this Binding Spell and restore your magic."
Second Brother's previously dull eyes brightened at that moment, sparkling like stars in the night sky.
He had been tormented by the Binding Spell, unable to use his magic, like an eagle with broken wings struggling helplessly on the ground.
Luna's words were like a ray of dawn, illuminating his dark world.
"Spirit's Tear..." Second Brother murmured, looking at Luna with gratitude overflowing from his heart.
"Luna, thank you, thank you!"
Luna's gaze finally fell on Brother San, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and encouragement.
"Brother San, your Magical Talent is exceptionally high, but you have gone astray and neglected your training. The magic you have been practicing does not suit your constitution. You need to choose a type of magic that fits you better and start your training anew to unleash your true potential."
Upon hearing Luna's words, Brother San's face flushed with shame as he lowered his head.
He knew he had wasted his training and let down his family's expectations.
Luna's words struck him like a wake-up call, pulling him from his confusion.
He took a deep breath and said, "Luna, I realize my mistakes. I will start my training again and will not let my family down." Brother San raised his head.
Aelia watched everything happening before her and gradually calmed down.
She looked at Luna, this little child, who possessed such immense power that could solve the family's long-standing troubles.
Taking a deep breath, she made an effort to control her emotions and said slowly, "Luna, thank you. I believe in you."
The atmosphere in the room began to lighten, with hope and anticipation shining on everyone's faces.
They believed that with Luna's help, their family's predicament could surely be resolved.
Luna gazed at the hopeful expressions of those around her, feeling a deep sense of responsibility and mission within her.
She knew she bore the heavy burden of changing her family's destiny.
Taking another deep breath, she resolved to alter the course of the original story, protect her family, and restore the Glorious Demon Fortress to its former glory.
"Mother," Luna gently tugged at Aelia's sleeve, "I want to..."
