The night was as dark as ink, and the garden was so quiet that only the sound of insects remained.
Luna's small figure darted through the grass like a nimble cat, moving with astonishing speed.
She could clearly feel the violent Magical Energy surging from her brother's room, crashing against the surrounding air again and again.
"Brother, you have to hold on!"
Luna silently urged, her little face filled with worry.
She knew that the pain of Magic Backlash was something that ordinary people could hardly endure.
Pushing open the door, a wave of scorching heat rushed toward her.
Inside the room, her brother lay curled up on the bed in agony, beads of sweat dotting his forehead, his face so Pale it was almost transparent.
Around his body swirled twisted magical light, resembling an Energy Sphere that looked ready to explode at any moment.
"Luna... why... are you here?"
Her brother struggled to lift his head. Upon seeing Luna, he managed a faint smile.
"Brother, don’t talk! I’m here to help you!"
Luna quickly approached the bedside and extended her small hand, a gentle yet powerful Magical Power flowing from her Palm.
This force nourished her brother's parched Magical Veins like spring rain, gradually soothing the violent energy within him.
She knew the solution from the original text, which was to use a special Magic Circle to channel the backlash energy from her brother's body.
This Magic Circle was complex and intricate, requiring a high level of magical control.
However, for Luna, who possessed the soul of a Great Mage, this was not a difficult task.
She closed her eyes, gathering all her mental power and focusing intently as she quickly constructed every detail of the Magic Circle in her mind.
Her hands danced through the air like butterflies flitting among flowers, as mysterious Magic Runes flowed from her fingertips, ultimately converging into a perfect Magic Circle.
“Brother, relax and do not resist my power,” Luna whispered, gently pressing the Magic Circle against her brother's body.
The moment the Magic Circle made contact with him, a brilliant light erupted.
The room filled with a sacred and powerful magical aura.
Her brother's body began to tremble violently; he let out a pained howl as if enduring immense suffering.
Luna gritted her teeth, refusing to allow even a moment of slack.
She understood that this was the process of the Magic Backlash Energy being guided out.
As long as she persevered, her brother would be able to break free from this painful curse.
Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat began to form on Luna's forehead.
She gathered all her mental power, highly focused, not daring to relax for even a moment.
She knew that if she failed, her brother would face even more terrifying consequences.
Finally, with all her strength, Luna completely guided the Magic Backlash Energy out of her brother's body.
The room returned to calm.
Her brother slowly regained his composure, his breathing becoming steady once again.
"How do you feel?" Luna asked with concern.
"I... I feel much better..." her brother replied weakly, a hint of a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Luna let out a long sigh of relief, her heart filled with joy.
She knew she had successfully changed her brother's destiny.
A few months later, the Magic Competition was held as scheduled.
Brother represented the Glorious Demon Fortress in battle, showcasing his exceptional magical skills and formidable strength as he fought his way through, ultimately standing on the stage of the finals.
In the finals, Brother faced a powerful opponent.
The two engaged in fierce combat for hundreds of rounds, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
In the end, Brother triumphed over his adversary, thanks to the improved magical skills that Luna had developed for him, claiming the championship title.
Following this victory, Brother went on to win two more matches in succession, achieving a legendary status in the history of the Magic Competition.
The Glorious Demon Fortress erupted in celebration.
Everyone felt proud and honored by Brother's accomplishments.
Luna, in particular, was genuinely delighted for him.
"Brother, you were amazing!"
Luna exclaimed, her face beaming with joy.
"Thank you, Luna. I owe it all to you. If it weren't for you, I might have..."
Brother said emotionally.
Luna shook her head with a smile and replied, "Brother, this is all your hard work. I believe you will become even stronger in the future."
Meanwhile, Second Brother successfully freed himself from the Magic Dilemma.
Luna shared the method recorded in the original book to break the curse with Second Brother. Following her instructions step by step, he unraveled the insidious Magic Trap.
At the moment he escaped the predicament, he felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if he had shed a heavy burden.
He looked at Luna with gratitude, his heart filled with hope.
“Luna, thank you! You truly are my savior!” Second Brother exclaimed excitedly.
“Second Brother, there’s no need to be polite. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me,” Luna replied with a smile.
Brother San also regained his spirits and began to diligently practice magic.
Luna patiently guided Brother San, telling him that while Magical Talent is important, hard work is even more crucial.
She tailored a detailed training plan for him based on his characteristics.
Inspired by Luna’s words, Brother San started to earnestly follow her plan, committing himself to daily practice without fail.
Soon, Brother San's strength showed a noticeable improvement.
He no longer indulged in his Magical Talent but focused more on the techniques and methods of cultivation.
Seeing Brother San's transformation, Luna felt very happy.
She knew that Brother San would surely become a powerful Mage.
However, just as Luna felt comforted by her family's changes, a storm was brewing within the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Aelia's Maid, Qin Si, stumbled upon the shocking news that Leonard had a Concubine outside.
This revelation struck Aelia like a bolt from the blue.
For years, she had deeply loved Leonard, considering him the most important person in her life.
She had always believed that their bond was unbreakable.
Yet now, she realized that it had all been a beautiful lie.
"Madam... are you... alright?"
Qin Si asked cautiously, sensing the suffocating sadness radiating from Aelia.
Aelia's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly.
Her eyes were hollow and lost, as if she had given up all hope.
"He... how could he do this to me..."
Aelia murmured to herself, her voice filled with pain and despair.
She could not believe that the man who once promised her the world would betray her like this.
"Madam, please don't be sad. Perhaps... perhaps there is some misunderstanding..."
Qin Si tried to comfort Aelia.
Aelia slowly lifted her head, her gaze turning cold and resolute.
A look of determination crossed her face.
"No, this cannot be a misunderstanding. I need to find him and get to the bottom of this..."
With that, Aelia stood up and walked towards Leonard's study.
Each step she took was filled with anger and resolve.
Qin Si followed closely behind her, her heart heavy with worry.
She knew a storm was about to break.
When Aelia pushed open the door to Leonard's study, she found him seated at his desk, poring over documents.
Hearing the door creak, he looked up and was taken aback to see Aelia standing there.
"Aelia, what brings you here?" he asked, his tone calm and natural.
Aelia fixed a cold gaze on Leonard.
"Leonard, I have something to ask you..." she said through gritted teeth, her voice low and menacing, as if she were suppressing an eruption of emotions. "What’s going on with that woman outside?"
Her voice pierced Leonard's eardrum like an ice pick, and the once tranquil air in the study suddenly became tense.
Leonard's fingers tightened around the documents, momentarily stiffening as a flicker of panic crossed his eyes before he quickly masked it.
"Aelia, what are you talking about? I don’t understand," he replied, feigning composure with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"Don’t understand?" Aelia scoffed, pulling a delicate brooch from her sleeve and tossing it onto the desk in front of Leonard.
"You should be quite familiar with this brooch. I designed it myself—one of a kind. You said it was for an 'important friend,'" she continued, her voice trembling as each word seemed to be forced through clenched teeth, laden with profound pain.
Leonard's face turned ashen; he hadn’t anticipated that Aelia would possess such evidence.
He opened his mouth to defend himself but found that any explanation felt utterly powerless.
The study was enveloped in a deathly silence, broken only by the crackling of the burning firewood, mirroring Aelia's shattered heart at that moment.
"What's wrong? Not going to speak?" Aelia stepped closer to Leonard, her gaze sharp as a blade. "What else is there to say? What other lies do you have to concoct?" Her voice rose higher, filled with an anger she could no longer contain.
Leonard sat dejectedly in his chair, knowing he could no longer hide the truth.
"Aelia, I..." He struggled to find the words to explain but didn't know where to begin.
"Enough!" Aelia interrupted him, tears finally spilling from her eyes. She fought to keep silent, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
"I don't want to hear any more of your explanations. Just go, leave this place. I don't want to see you again!" Her voice was hoarse and weak, yet it carried an undeniable resolve.
Leonard looked into Aelia's resolute eyes, a wave of regret washing over him. Silently, he stood up and turned away from the study, leaving Aelia alone in the empty room, tears streaming down her face.
Outside the study, Qin Si waited anxiously. She could hear Aelia's muffled cries from within, her heart aching with every sound.
Gently, she pushed open the door and saw Aelia slumped in her chair, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her heart ached for her.
"Madam..." she choked out, wanting to comfort Aelia but unsure how to begin.
Aelia lifted her head and met Qin Si's concerned gaze, managing a faint smile through her pain.
"Qin Si, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me." She wiped her tears away and took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself.
Meanwhile, Lucius, the Third Son of the Demon Fortress, had also heard about the turmoil unfolding at home.
He had always been calm and composed, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
He hurried towards Aelia's room, his heart filled with worry.
He gently knocked on the door and heard Aelia's weak voice, "Come in."
Lucius pushed the door open and saw Aelia's haggard appearance, his heart tightening.
"Mother, are you alright?" he asked with concern.
Aelia forced a smile, "I'm fine, Xiusi. You don't need to worry about me."
"Mother, after what happened, how can you be fine?" Lucius said, looking at Aelia with pain in his eyes. "Father..."
"Don't mention him again!" Aelia interrupted Lucius.
Lucius met Aelia's determined gaze, and a sense of responsibility surged within him.
"Mother, rest assured. I will do everything I can to protect Magic Castle and our home."
In the garden of Magic Castle, Luna was walking alone.
Her small figure appeared especially lonely under the moonlight, yet the bright spark in her eyes shone with wisdom.
She had anticipated the coming storm, but instead of feeling afraid, she was filled with expectation.
She knew that this was an opportunity for her, a chance to change the fate of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
She looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, silently praying, "I hope everything will be alright. I hope the Glorious Demon Fortress can regain its former glory." Yet she also understood that the road ahead would be filled with challenges, and she needed to work harder to face all the unknown difficulties.
A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a hint of chill, causing Luna to shiver slightly. But she did not retreat; instead, her resolve grew stronger.
Aelia, having endured the pain of betrayal, began to reassess her life and position.
She had once been a gentle and virtuous wife, a loving mother, but now she was aware that she could no longer afford to be weak.
She had to become stronger for herself, for her children, and for the future of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
She approached the mirror and gazed at her weary reflection, her eyes gradually filling with determination.
She caressed her rounded belly, filled with maternal warmth.
She would protect her child, safeguard her family, and defend everything she held dear.
"I will no longer be weak," she said to her reflection, her tone firm and resolute.
"Mother..." Lucius's voice came from outside the door.
Aelia turned around to see Lucius standing at the entrance.
"Xiusi," Aelia walked up to Lucius and gently took his hand. "We need to talk..."
The hall of Glory Fortress was usually bustling with activity, but at this moment, it was suffused with a tension that felt almost stifling.
The crackling in the air was not the sound of magical power, but rather the unspoken anxiety that hung heavily over everyone present.
Family members sat around the massive mahogany table, frozen like statues, their faces etched with worry.
The flickering candlelight danced across their faces, highlighting the dark circles under their eyes and the tight lines at the corners of their mouths.
Even the usually boisterous three brothers had fallen silent, their playful banter replaced by hushed whispers.
Aelia sat gracefully at the head of the table, showing no sign of inner turmoil as her hand protectively rested on her rounded belly.
The Emerald Pendant around her neck, which typically sparkled with vitality, now appeared dull and lifeless, mirroring the atmosphere in the room.
She addressed those gathered, her voice surprisingly steady: “We are facing an unprecedented challenge. Leonard's betrayal has not only wounded my heart but has also placed the fortress in jeopardy.” Her gaze swept across her sons' faces, lingering on each for a moment before finally resting on Xiao Luna.
The eldest brother's face was pale but resolute as he spoke first: “Mother, we will protect you and the fortress. We will not allow that… that man to destroy everything we have built.” His hand instinctively clenched into a fist, knuckles whitening against the dark wood of the table.
He could still feel the phantom pain from the Magic Backlash, a constant reminder of his own vulnerability.
Yet his voice carried a steely determination, a promise to safeguard his family.
The Second Brother's eyes still reflected the shadow of betrayal from a friend; he echoed his brother’s words: “Mother, we will stand united. Nothing can break us.” The memories of the Magic Trap and that helpless Coldness still sent chills down his back.
He vowed never to let anyone inflict such pain on his family again.
Even Third Brother, who was usually considered frivolous, unexpectedly grew serious. "I may not be as strong as Brothers, but I will do my part. I will train harder to become stronger. I won’t let our family down." His voice trembled slightly, yet it carried a newfound determination.
He was acutely aware of the heavy responsibility he now bore.
Qin Si stood beside Aelia, her face filled with worry, silently offering her support.
Having served this family for many years, the current crisis felt like a personal blow to her.
She was willing to do anything to alleviate her mistress's suffering and help restore the fortress to its former glory.
Xiao Luna sat in a high-backed chair, her legs swinging as she observed everything with a wisdom beyond her years.
Her bright eyes, usually sparkling with mischief, were now filled with a profound and almost unsettling understanding.
She was more aware than anyone of the challenges that lay ahead and the dangers lurking in the shadows.
But she also knew the secrets, the hidden paths, and how to navigate through the tumultuous waves of Destiny.
The meeting continued late into the night, filled with hushed discussions, strategic planning, and information sharing.
The weight of responsibility and uncertainty about the future pressed heavily on everyone’s hearts.
Yet there was also a glimmer of hope, a shared sense of purpose, and a determination to unite and overcome adversity together.
Later, in her quiet room, Luna sat by the window, gazing at the garden bathed in moonlight.
The events of the day replayed endlessly in her mind.
She knew that this gathering was not just a strategic planning meeting; it was also a reaffirmation of the bonds between them, a declaration of unity.
Yet beneath the surface of determination, she felt a deeper unease, a premonition of more trials to come.
The fortress seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the next blow to fall.
What new dangers awaited them?
What hidden enemies lurked in the shadows?
What price would they have to pay to secure their future?
The weight of these questions rested heavily on her thin shoulders, a burden far too great for someone so young.
She rubbed her eyes, suddenly feeling an inexplicable itch, a strange and unfamiliar sensation...
A gentle knock at the door startled her.
"Luna?" It was Qin Si's concerned voice. "Are you okay, Little One? I heard you moving..." Luna hesitated, a flicker of strange fear crossing her face.
"Qin Si... I... I can't see..."
