The night was as dark as ink, deep enough to seem capable of swallowing all light.
The Glorious Demon Fortress lay in slumber, but beneath this tranquility surged a hidden current, heralding the arrival of a new upheaval.
Luna lay on the soft Cradle, her big, glossy eyes shimmering with an unusual light in the darkness.
Her small face still bore the innocence of youth, yet it was marked by a determination and depth that belied her age.
As a traveler from another world, she was acutely aware of the Original Plot and understood the myriad challenges her family would soon face in the torrent of Destiny.
"Hmph, do they think my family will repeat the same mistakes? Not a chance!"
Luna silently vowed to herself.
Within her tiny frame seemed to lie immense energy, ready to break free from the Demon Binding Shackles of Destiny at any moment.
She was determined to change things; she wanted her family to completely escape their plight and embrace a future filled with hope.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Aelia's delicate features.
She slowly opened her eyes, yet they were clouded with an enduring fatigue and worry.
Ever since learning of her husband Leonard's possible betrayal, she had been unable to sleep, her mind replaying every moment they had shared and Leonard's recent odd behaviors.
"Madam, you are awake?" Qin Si entered with a basin of clear water, his tone gentle as he inquired.
Aelia nodded, accepting the towel Qin Si offered and gently wiping Luna's face.
The cool touch brought her slightly back to awareness, but her doubts remained unchanged.
"Qin Si, do you think... he really would betray me?" Aelia's voice trembled slightly, filled with uncertainty.
Qin Si looked at her master with a pained expression. She knew that Aelia had always loved Leonard and could not accept this cruel reality.
But the facts were laid out before them; she had to help Aelia see the truth and protect herself.
"Madam, some things cannot be changed just because we choose to believe otherwise. The master's recent movements have indeed been suspicious, and..." Qin Si paused, lowering her voice. "I have also heard that he has been keeping a woman outside for quite some time now."
"What?!" Aelia suddenly stood up, her face turning pale.
She could not believe her ears; the husband who had once cared for her so deeply could do such a thing.
"I don't believe it! I will find out the truth myself!" Aelia gritted her teeth.
Qin Si quickly stepped forward to support her, speaking firmly. "Madam, I stand by you. No matter the outcome, I will be by your side."
Meanwhile, in a Magic Chamber of the Magic Castle, the elder brother was sweating profusely as he practiced his magic.
Ever since Luna appeared, he felt his Magical Power gradually returning, and the situation with the Magic Backlash had improved significantly.
"Ha... ha..."
The elder brother gasped for breath, pausing his movements.
He looked at his slightly trembling hands. Once, he thought he would never be able to wield a staff again and would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
But now, he saw hope in standing again.
"I cannot let Luna's expectations down; I must regain my strength as soon as possible to protect my family!"
The elder brother silently encouraged himself.
He took a deep breath, picked up his staff once more, and began a new round of practice.
The Magic Element danced at his Fingertip, emitting a melodious glow as if cheering for his efforts.
Meanwhile, Second Brother sat alone in his room, his expression forlorn.
He tightly gripped a Magic Rune in Hand, a token given to him by his once-best friend, the very thing that had plunged him into the Magic Dilemma.
"Why... why did you have to do this to me?"
Second Brother's voice was low and Hoarse, filled with pain and resentment.
He had once regarded that friend as a brother, trusting him without reservation.
But in the end, he was brutally betrayed and cast into the depths of the Eternal Abyss.
At that moment, Luna suddenly appeared at his door. Seeing Second Brother's haggard appearance filled her heart with sorrow.
"Second Brother, don't give up. You still have a chance." Luna's voice was youthful yet firm, as if imbued with a magical power capable of soothing the pain within one's heart.
Second Brother lifted his head and looked into Luna's clear eyes, a Warm Current surging within him.
He knew that Luna genuinely cared for him and wanted to help him escape his predicament.
"Thank you, Luna." Second Brother's voice trembled slightly, but he still managed to force a smile. "I will try my best; I won't let those who hurt me go unpunished!"
Luna nodded in satisfaction.
Time passed slowly, and the night once again descended upon the Magic Castle.
Lucius stood by the window, overlooking the entire Magic Castle, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, hinting at something profound.
"This performance is becoming more and more exciting..." he murmured to himself, his tone laced with excitement and anticipation.
Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of footsteps approaching from behind. He turned around to see a familiar figure standing at the door.
"What do you want?" Lucius raised an eyebrow and asked coldly.
The person said nothing, merely handing him a piece of Parchment.
Lucius took the Parchment, opened it, and his expression instantly turned serious.
"This is..."
"Everything you want to know is in there," the person replied softly, their tone carrying an air of mystery.
Lucius stared intently at the contents of the Parchment, his gaze becoming deep and inscrutable.
He remained silent, quietly folding the Parchment away.
"It seems some matters are more complicated than I imagined..."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Third Brother, who are you talking to?"
Brother San's voice, tinged with curiosity, shattered the subtle tranquility in the room.
Lucius calmly turned around, a faint smile on his face as if the earlier seriousness had been nothing but an illusion.
“It's nothing, just talking to myself,” Lucius said casually, his tone light as if he were merely chatting.
Outside the door, Brother San's figure slowly came into view.
He was dressed in a loose Magic Robe, and the once nonchalant expression on his face now bore a rare seriousness.
Since Luna's arrival, he seemed to have transformed, beginning to reevaluate his life.
“Talking to yourself?” Brother San raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing Lucius's words.
He stepped into the room, scanning Lucius with a keen eye, as if trying to uncover some hidden clue.
“Alright, Third Brother, what brings you here today?” Lucius shifted the topic, his tone carrying a subtle urgency.
Brother San seemed oblivious to Lucius's change in mood. He walked over to the window, gazing at the darkening sky outside, and spoke with a hint of nostalgia. “A lot has happened recently; it feels like the entire Magic Castle has changed.”
Lucius joined him by the window, standing side by side as they both looked into the distance.
“Yes, change is always happening. What matters is how we adapt to it.”
Brother San turned his head, looking at Lucius with determination shining in his eyes.
“I will do my best to adapt. For this family, for our future.”
Lucius smiled and patted Brother San on the Thin Shoulders. “I believe in you, Third Brother. Let's work hard together.”
Just as the brothers regained their confidence, Aelia's investigation was also making groundbreaking progress.
With Qin Si's assistance, Aelia had secretly tracked Leonard's whereabouts and gathered substantial concrete evidence.
The evidence pierced her heart like a sharp blade, forcing her to see Leonard's true nature clearly.
That night, Leonard returned home, exhausted, unaware that a storm awaited him.
Aelia sat in the living room, her expression icy as she watched Leonard walk in.
Her gaze was as cold as ice, sending a shiver of unease through Leonard.
"You’re back," Aelia's voice was eerily calm, as if she were speaking to a stranger.
Leonard approached Aelia, intending to embrace her as usual, but she coldly stepped aside.
"What’s wrong with you?" Leonard asked, puzzled, sensing something was amiss.
Aelia did not respond. Instead, she picked up a stack of parchment from the side and slammed it down in front of Leonard.
"Take a look for yourself!" Aelia's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
Leonard picked up the parchment, and his face instantly turned pale.
The documents detailed his various dealings with his concubine and provided evidence of his embezzlement of assets from the Magic Castle.
"This... this isn't true!" Leonard stammered, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Someone is framing me! Aelia, you have to believe me!"
Aelia let out a cold laugh. "Even now, you still want to argue? Leonard, I truly misjudged you!"
"I..." Leonard tried to explain but was sharply interrupted by Aelia.
“Enough! I don’t want to hear your lies anymore!” Aelia stood up, pointing at Leonard’s nose, and declared, “From today on, you are no longer the Lord of the Glorious Demon Fortress! I will call a family meeting to strip you of all your power!”
Leonard was completely panicked. He fell to his knees in front of Aelia, clutching her legs and pleading desperately.
“Aelia, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this once! I promise I won’t make the same mistake again!”
Aelia looked at Leonard’s hypocritical face, filled with disgust.
She forcefully shook off Leonard’s hands and said resolutely, “It’s too late! Everything is too late! I am utterly disappointed in you!”
With that, Aelia turned and left the living room without looking back, leaving Leonard alone on the floor, crying in despair.
Meanwhile, in Luna’s room, Little One was excitedly waving her small fists.
“Hmph, the real show is just beginning!” Luna thought smugly to herself.
She knew that Leonard’s betrayal was just the beginning; next, she would use everything she knew to completely shatter the conspiracies hidden deep within the Magic Castle.
In the morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room. Luna opened her eyes and looked out the window with hope, her small face filled with determination.
“Luna, you’re awake!” Her older brother walked in with a gentle smile on his face.
“Brother!” Luna called sweetly, extending her small hands for a hug.
Her brother carefully picked up Luna and kissed her on her pink cheek.
“Luna is getting cuter and cuter.”
“You seem to be in a good mood today, Brother!” Luna said with a cheerful smile.
Elder Brother nodded, "We have to thank Luna for this. Ever since you arrived, my health has been improving day by day, and my Magical Power is gradually returning."
"Hehe, of course!" Luna said proudly, "I'm quite impressive, you know!"
Elder Brother smiled and shook his head, picking Luna up and bringing her to the window to show her the view outside.
"Luna, do you know? Right now, the entire Magic Castle is filled with hope. Everyone believes that under your leadership, we will surely overcome all difficulties and restore the glory of our family."
As Luna looked at the vibrant scene outside, her heart swelled with pride.
She knew she bore a significant responsibility; she had to keep striving for her family and for this hopeful future.
Just then, Second Brother rushed over, a look of urgency on his face.
"Elder Brother, Luna, something's wrong! There's been an incident!"
"What happened?" Elder Brother asked, frowning.
Second Brother took a deep breath to calm himself before saying, "I just heard some rumors that Father... Father has been keeping a woman outside and has even transferred the assets of Magic Castle!"
Elder Brother's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
He couldn't believe his ears; the Father he had always looked up to could do such a thing.
"That’s impossible!" Elder Brother exclaimed fiercely. "Someone must be spreading rumors!"
"I wish that were true," Second Brother sighed heavily. "But I've already sent someone to investigate; I'm afraid... it might be real."
Luna looked at Elder Brother and Second Brother.
"Elder Brother, what do you think... we should do?" Elder Brother looked at Luna helplessly.
Luna fell silent for a moment, then lifted her head, looking at her elder brother and Second Brother with determined eyes.
"I believe Mother will handle everything well. What we need to do now is to trust her, support her, and face all difficulties together with her." Luna's voice, though youthful, was filled with strength, as if it could dispel all shadows.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. She wore an ornate Magic Robe, her expression cold and her gaze resolute.
"Don't worry, I already know everything," Aelia said slowly, her voice calm and authoritative, like a Queen declaring her resolve.
"Mother!" the elder brother and Second Brother hurriedly approached her.
Aelia waved her hand, signaling them not to worry.
She walked over to Luna and gently stroked her little head.
"Luna, thank you," Aelia said softly.
Luna beamed at Aelia. "Mother, I believe you can handle it!"
Aelia nodded and then turned to face her elder brother and Second Brother with unwavering determination in her eyes.
"From today onwards, our family must unite as one to protect the Glorious Demon Fortress. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and overcome them together!"
"Yes!" the elder brother and Second Brother replied in unison, their voices filled with strength and resolve.
At that moment, Qin Si rushed over, his face pale and breathing heavily.
"Madam, it's bad! The Master... he ran away with that woman!"
Upon hearing this, Aelia's expression instantly darkened. She clenched her fists tightly.
“Running away? Hmph, does he think he can escape?” Aelia said coldly. “Send the order down to seal off the entire Magic Castle. We must capture him!”
“Yes!” Qin Si quickly replied, then turned to leave.
Aelia watched Qin Si's retreating figure.
“Mother, what should we do now?” her elder brother asked with concern.
Aelia took a deep breath to calm her emotions and said, “Right now, we need to stay calm. We must find out Leonard's whereabouts and uncover the conspiracy behind him. Only then can we completely resolve this issue and restore the glory of Magic Castle.”
Just then, Lucius suddenly walked in, a serious expression on his face.
“Mother, I’ve found some clues,” Lucius said in a low voice. “Leonard seems to be connected to a mysterious organization. This organization has been secretly coveting our Magic Castle, and their intentions are likely not just about wealth.”
Upon hearing this, Aelia's face instantly turned pale.
She knew that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
“A mysterious organization?” Aelia murmured. “It seems we’ve truly encountered a major problem this time.”
“Mother, what should we do?” her elder brother asked anxiously.
Aelia took another deep breath to steady herself and replied, “Do not be afraid. No matter what difficulties we face, we must unite and confront them together. I believe that as long as we work hand in hand, we can overcome any challenge and protect our home.”
“Yes!” everyone responded in unison, their voices filled with strength and determination.
As night fell, the Glorious Demon Fortress was shrouded in shadows.
Aelia stood by the window, gazing at the pitch-black night sky, her heart heavy with worry.
She did not know what would happen next, nor did she know if she could protect this homeland.
At that moment, Luna suddenly approached her, reaching out her small hand to tightly grasp Aelia's fingers.
"Mother, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side," Luna's voice was tender yet firm, like a shining star illuminating the darkness within Aelia's heart.
Aelia lowered her head, looking into Luna's clear eyes, and a warm current surged within her.
She knew she was not fighting alone; her family was with her, and there was a hopeful future ahead.
She would protect this home with all her might.
"Madam, we have found something!" Qin Si hurried over, breaking the tranquility.
"Master... he has gone towards the Twilight Forest!"
Aelia's expression hardened; the Twilight Forest was no ordinary place.
"Prepare the horses! I am going too!" Aelia decided instantly; she needed to know what Leonard intended to do!
Luna watched Aelia's determined figure, a mysterious smile appearing on her small face.
Everything was just beginning…
