Luna tightly clutched the corner of the Magic Letter she had "borrowed" from Leonard's study, the thin Paper crumpled in her Palm as she rubbed it nervously.
In a Baby Voice, she said to Qin Si, "Aunt Cessy, look what I found!"
Qin Si bent down and took the inconspicuous Paper. After just a glance, her expression changed dramatically.
The letter revealed Leonard's sickly sweet declarations of love for another woman, hinting at a long-standing secret affair between them, and even… a love child!
"This… this…" Qin Si gasped, feeling a chill run through her body.
The Lord… had betrayed his wife?!
She couldn't believe her eyes; the Tiny Inscriptions on the Letterhead were etched clearly in her mind, stabbing at her heart like sharp daggers.
She had heard the Rumors in the Magic Castle about the Lord and a mysterious woman, but she always thought they were mere fabrications. How could someone as virtuous as Lady Aelia be betrayed by the Lord of the Fortress?
But now, there was undeniable evidence.
Qin Si's breathing became Urgent as she felt her heart pounding like a drum in her chest.
She instinctively looked at Luna, wondering how this seemingly innocent little girl had come into possession of such a letter.
What secrets were hidden in that small head of hers?
Suddenly, Qin Si felt that this child was not as simple as she appeared.
Luna watched Qin Si's shocked expression and couldn't help but smirk inwardly.
She knew very well the power of this letter; in the original story, it was the last straw that broke Aelia's back.
The reason she chose to reveal this secret to Qin Si was because she trusted Qin Si's loyalty to Aelia.
“Aunt Cessy, this matter… is very important. You must tell Mom.” Luna's voice was tender, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
Qin Si snapped back to reality, realizing the gravity of the situation and understanding Luna's intent.
She clutched the letter tightly, as if holding onto a precious treasure or a bomb that could explode at any moment.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to steady herself and quickly walked toward Aelia's room.
Aelia was sitting by the window, gazing at the blooming Black Rose outside, her eyes vacant and lost.
These days, Leonard's indifference had left her emotionally drained. She couldn't comprehend how two people who once loved each other so deeply had ended up in such a state.
The sound of Qin Si's footsteps broke the silence in the room.
Aelia looked up and saw the panic on Qin Si's face, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
“Qin Si, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Qin Si trembled as she handed the letter to Aelia, choking back tears. “Madam, please… take a look at this…”
Aelia took the letter with confusion and unfolded it.
The Tiny Inscriptions on the page met her gaze, and her face instantly turned pale.
Those familiar Tiny Inscriptions contained content she could hardly believe.
She felt as if her breath had stopped, her heart gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.
Years of love transformed into a colossal joke in that moment.
"No... it can't be..." Aelia murmured, tears silently streaming down her face, soaking the letterhead in her hand.
Qin Si looked at Aelia with a pained expression, unsure of how to comfort her.
She could only gently wrap her arms around Aelia's thin shoulders, allowing her to lean against her for support.
In the room, the only sound was Aelia's muffled sobs.
Meanwhile, in his elder brother's room, he struggled to control his trembling hands as he channeled magic into the wand in his grasp.
Since the magic backlash, his body had deteriorated, and the once-proud magic he wielded had become difficult to manage.
He knew he was no longer the genius mage he once was; he had become a burden to his family.
The arrival of Ke Luna had sparked a glimmer of hope within him.
In the second brother's room, the atmosphere was equally tense.
He recalled being betrayed by a close friend and falling into a magic dilemma, his heart filled with bitterness.
If it weren't for Luna, he might still be struggling in that dark abyss, unable to see even a glimmer of light.
Luna's presence had brought a turning point for the family and rekindled his hope.
He silently resolved to work hard to break free from his predicament and contribute to his family's well-being.
His expression was resolute and determined, as if he was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead.
"Luna... what exactly..." Brother San gazed out the window, murmuring to himself, his eyes filled with complexity.
Brother San, once hailed as the family's Magic Genius, now stood by the window, the fading sunlight casting mottled Light and Shadow across his face, accentuating his increasingly gaunt features.
He gazed out at the world beyond, his eyes vacant, like a puppet stripped of its soul.
He remembered his former self, brimming with confidence and arrogance.
He possessed an enviable Magical Talent, showcasing astonishing magical prowess at a young age. The family had high hopes for him, calling him the star of their future.
Yet, all of this changed with the passage of time.
Blinded by his own talent, he became proud and complacent, abandoning diligent practice for a life of indulgence, squandering precious time.
He believed that his innate gifts would effortlessly elevate him to the pinnacle of the family, making him a legend in the magical realm.
However, reality dealt him a harsh blow.
His Magic Water stagnated, even beginning to regress.
He transformed from the family's hope into its disgrace, from a celebrated genius to a figure of ridicule.
What he once took pride in had become his greatest Demon Binding Shackles, binding him firmly in the abyss of failure.
Now, as he observed the changes within his family and witnessed the transformations of his elder brother and Second Brother, he felt an overwhelming shame.
He finally became aware of how foolish and laughable his actions had been.
Everything he once had was granted by the family, yet he had squandered it all away.
"I... I am truly worthless!" Brother San pounded his chest fiercely as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
He felt an overwhelming sense of regret, lamenting his past foolishness and the opportunities he had missed.
However, regret could not change the past, nor could it alter the present.
He had to do something to make amends for his mistakes and regain his family's recognition.
His gaze gradually became resolute, as regret and determination intertwined in his eyes.
"I can't continue to sink like this!" He clenched his fists, silently vowing to himself, "I will start training again. I will prove myself. I am not worthless!"
At that moment, Leonard was sitting in his study, the wine glass in his hand clinking as he gripped it tightly.
His face was pale, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead. He had just learned that Aelia already knew of his betrayal and about his illegitimate child.
This news struck him like a bolt from the blue.
Everything he had meticulously planned, every secret he had hidden for years, was suddenly exposed to the light of day.
He did not know how Aelia would handle this situation, nor how his family would view him.
He feared losing everything he currently possessed—his status, his power, and his wealth.
But more than anything, he feared losing Aelia, the woman he had once loved deeply.
"Damn it! Damn it!" he muttered under his breath, as waves of fear surged within him, threatening to drown him.
He felt a wave of suffocation, as if an invisible hand was tightening around his throat.
He struggled to calm himself down and began to think of a strategy.
He had to find a way to salvage everything; he had to protect his position and power.
Lucius stood outside Luna's door, peering through the half-open gap, secretly watching the little girl inside.
This seemingly innocent child possessed such immense power that she could alter the family's destiny.
He recalled the family's former glory and the current predicament they faced.
His heart was filled with anticipation, hoping that Luna could continue to create miracles, leading the family out of their troubles and restoring their past splendor.
Aelia sat in front of the grooming table, gazing at her reflection in the mirror.
Her eyes were swollen, her face pale, yet she could not hide the determination and decisiveness etched on her brow.
She had cried and endured pain.
Now, she needed to calm herself and think about how to deal with Leonard's betrayal, how to protect her child, and how to stabilize the situation at Magic Castle.
Taking a deep breath, she wiped away her tears, her gaze sharpening.
She was no longer the frail lady; she was a mother, a wife, and a guardian of her family.
She stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bright moonlight.
Her heart was filled with strength and hope.
"Leonard, do you really think I am unaware of what you've done?" Aelia's voice was low and powerful, carrying a hint of coldness. "You underestimate me too much..."
Luna stood by the window, peering through the thin curtain gap, gazing at the darkening sky outside.
A faint smile graced her delicate face, and her eyes revealed a sense of confidence and composure.
As she observed the changes in her family, an overwhelming sense of comfort filled her heart.
Her elder brother's eyes rekindled with a glimmer of hope, while Second Brother's face bore a newfound determination and courage. Brother San had also cast aside his feelings of guilt and regret, resolved to begin his training anew.
All of this made her feel that her efforts had not been in vain.
She gently squeezed her small fist, as if tightening her grip on a resolve.
Luna knew that changing her family's destiny was just the first step; she needed to continue striving to protect them from further harm.
Turning around, she looked at the busy servants within the Magic Castle, sensing an undercurrent of unease in her heart.
This unsettling aura seemed to herald a series of impending upheavals.
Inside the Magic Castle, murmurs rose and fell like boiling water, gradually spreading throughout the halls.
Servants gathered in small groups, whispering about the recent changes within the Magic Castle.
Leonard's betrayal was like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples that spread far and wide.
Veteran warrior Lucius stood outside Luna's door, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.
He could feel that the atmosphere inside the Magic Castle had grown unusually tense and oppressive, with an air of anxiety hanging thickly, as if a storm could break at any moment.
Qin Si stood in Aelia's room, watching her mistress's resolute silhouette, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Aelia sat by the window, moonlight spilling onto her face, outlining her gentle features.
Her fingers gently caressed the letterhead, the delicate texture reminding her that this was all real, no longer the sweet dream she had once imagined.
"Madam, what should we do?" Qin Si's voice was low and trembling, laced with unease.
Aelia slowly turned her head. Though her face was pale, her gaze was resolute.
She took a deep breath, as if to draw in all her anxiety and fear, then slowly exhaled.
Standing up, she walked with firm steps to the center of the room, each stride resonating with strength.
"We will face this together. We will protect our child and safeguard this family," Aelia's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable conviction.
Her eyes swept over everyone present, as if her actions were a silent declaration that she would not back down or yield.
Outside the door, Lucius clenched his fists tightly, feeling the sweat on his palms and a tumult of emotions swirling within him.
He knew this was just the beginning; the schemes and conflicts within the Magic Castle were far from over.
Luna stood by the window, observing it all with a slight smile.
She understood that the road ahead would be long, but as long as the family stood united, there was nothing they could not overcome.
"Leonard, do you really think I am unaware of what you've done?" Aelia's voice echoed in the room, cold yet firm, imbued with an irresistible force.
