The crack in the Ice Crystal continued to spread. As Luna was held in Aelia's arms, she caught a whiff of Cedar Fragrance mixed with Blood Stench.
The Magic Shockwave triggered by the dissolution of the Marriage Contract caused the chandeliers in the banquet hall to be shrouded in Blood Mist, but she knew that the real storm was just beginning.
"The Curse Scroll from the West Terrace requires three drops of Close Kin blood to seal it." Luna poked her brother's crystal ball with her finger, which was stained with Milk Stain. The unique Mental Ripple of an infant spread ripples across the surface of the sphere.
After suffering from Magic Backlash for seven years, her brother suddenly coughed violently, and the Dark Purple Spell entwined around his Spine faded significantly along with the Hei Xue he coughed up.
Three days later, when the Family Arena raised the Golden Cress flag, her brother stood in the center of the Arena, holding his staff that had regained its Yin Hui glow.
In the audience, Aelia lifted Luna higher so she could see her brother freeze his opponent with an improved version of Ice Binding Chains—this was a Composite Magic that should have been mastered by the main characters a decade later in the Original.
"Little Moon is truly our family's lucky star." Second Brother tied Luna's flailing feet with a headband adorned with moonstone, his gaze suddenly turning cold as it swept over a certain Brown-Haired Youth in the VIP section.
That person was his closest friend from Magic Academy, with whom he had shared meals and living quarters for five years. At that moment, he was holding a Contract that imposed a Transfiguration Spell, waiting for him to sign away his soul as in the Original.
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry, and her Emerald Pacifier conveniently rolled onto the surface of the Contract.
As Second Brother bent down to pick it up, a yellowed Parchment fell out from the Hidden Layer of the Contract—clearly documenting his friend's transaction of Soul Fragment with a Black Market Merchant.
The sound of shattered glass echoed from the VIP section as Second Brother crumpled the Contract and threw it at his friend's face. The Fingertip glowing was no longer the gentle Healing Spell of old but rather Aelia's taught Punishment Thunder.
What surprised the servants of Magic Castle most was Third Young Master's transformation.
The boy who always carried an Astrolabe and complained about "Elemental Sprite injustice" was now squatting in the rose garden, building a Magic Sand Table for Luna.
Luna deliberately stirred up Chaos Magic to disrupt the sand table's Track. Just as Brother San scrambled to fix it, she suddenly grabbed his pinky—her pure infant magic condensed the sand grains into the most primitive Celestial Chart.
"Turns out the arrangement of fundamental elements is more important than astrological predictions..." Brother San murmured as he stared at the automatically rotating Hexagram Sand Formation, spending the night replacing hundreds of astrological tomes in his study with treatises on elemental analysis.
When he successfully summoned the first cluster of Dark Purple Flame without the aid of an Astrolabe in the morning light, Luna waved Aelia's Pearl Necklace and laughed heartily.
On the day of the family tea party, Qin Si was carrying a Cherry Pie through the corridor when she overheard Leonard's Personal Guard whispering behind the fountain. "...Number 73, East Suburb Iris Lane... on the sixteenth of each month..." She stepped back after her Awareness faded, her skirt embroidered with the Family Crest brushing against a fresh Ke Hen on a stone pillar—its shape strikingly similar to the Sheen Pattern on the Sapphire Pendant that had fallen that day.
As Twilight gilded the Magic Castle with Jin Bian, Luna leaned against Aelia's shoulder, gazing toward the Training Ground.
Eldest Brother's Frost Barrier enveloped half the courtyard, while Second Brother's Lei Guang refracted a Rainbow within the barrier. Brother San held up his Elemental Atlas, chasing after the gardener to inquire about soil composition.
Suddenly, warmth radiated from the Emerald Earrings. Aelia gently caressed her daughter's soft nape, unaware that Qin Si had slipped a note with an address into her apron’s Hidden Layer.
As Blood Mist from the Crystal Chandelier crystallized and fell like tiny ice shards, Qin Si knelt before Aelia's Grooming table, organizing her Pearl Box.
Moonlight streamed through the Enamel Colored Window, imprinting a Rose Pattern onto her trembling Hand Back. The note soaked in cold sweat lay pressed beneath the Pearl Necklace, its ink smudged to reveal "73 Iris Lane," curling like a serpentine poison.
"Madam, regarding the Curse Scroll from West Terrace..." Qin Si's voice caught in the scent of Black Rose as she watched Aelia’s silver hair entwined with Shu Chi suddenly snap.
The Dressing Mirror reflected Lady of the Fortress's frozen smile; cracks suddenly erupted across its surface, startling a Night Owl outside into flight.
In Dawn's Magic Castle corridor, the crisp sound of Crystal Shoe heels echoed as Aelia swept past stone walls in her cloak embroidered with Ice Crystal Orchids. The frost that formed spread along portraits of generations of Lords.
When she kicked open Leonard's study's hidden door, Gold Dust began to fall from the Marriage Parchment hanging on the wall. The Twin Roses drawn with their Heart's Blood had already wilted significantly over the years.
"Is the moonlight over East Suburb Iris Lane still gentle?" Aelia’s Fingertip ignited an Ice Flame, illuminating a corner where Liujin’s birdcage stood, containing the Azure Crown Parrot Leonard had gifted her last month.
Violet powder from the bird's beak drifted down, the very scent that Leonard's Concubine loved most—Xunxiang.
The Teleportation Array Pattern of Leonard Palm had not yet dimmed, and the Sapphire cufflinks reflected the crescent moon outside the window. "It's just a temporary stronghold for Black Market Dealings." He brushed his fingers over Aelia's trembling shoulder, but suddenly, the gem on the Wedding Ring emitted a blinding red light—an anomaly that had never appeared when he swore his oath at the Moonlight Temple fifteen years ago.
"Do you think I'm still that foolish girl blinded by the Marriage Contract?" The Neck Pearl Necklace of Aelia suddenly shattered, and milky luminescence coalesced in the air into Memory Fragments.
On Leonard's Last Night, he was placing what should have belonged to the Eldest Son, the Dragon Crystal Staff, onto the forehead of a certain Red-Haired Boy—the flame pattern on that child, Mei Yan, was strikingly similar to that of the Lord.
Sounds of shattering glass echoed from the Potion Room, waking Luna, who expelled a stream of Colorful Bubbles from her Cradle.
The bubbles floated through the chaotic corridor, reflecting the melted Astrolabe beside the Training Ground, fragments of a torn Soul Contract by Second Brother, and the family crest that had reignited on Eldest Brother's staff.
When the bubbles finally burst against the Marriage Parchment, the entire foundation of the Magic Castle trembled violently.
"Mother!” Luna’s Mental Ripple penetrated three layers of stone walls, and the raging Ice Element surrounding Aelia instantly formed a protective barrier.
Amidst the hum of the crystals from her Emerald Earrings, she saw her daughter using Chaos Magic to draw a twisted Family Tree on the wall—the branch representing Leonard was entwined with scarlet vines stretching out towards the wall.
The square of the Magic Castle at noon was crowded with whispering Servants, while a frightened exchange of glances occurred between a Coachman delivering supplies and a Laundry Worker.
The burnt smell of cherry pie wafting from the kitchen went unnoticed, as all water sprites that once hovered above the fountain retreated into their shells.
As Leonard's Personal Guard, clad in blood-stained armor, passed by the stable, clusters of Hellfire suddenly leaked from a magic circle that had never faltered in seventeen years.
"Have you heard? The crystals in the East Wing Tower have all turned murky!"
"The Young Masters' Magic Element is going berserk..."
"Should we still send out the invitations for next month's century Festival as planned?"
Luna's Emerald Pacifier suddenly emitted a piercing shriek, shattering the family sand table that floated in the center of the hall.
Amidst the swirling Xing Sha, memories of Leonard's Last Night ten years ago emerged—when the Lord, who should have been guarding his wife, was instead drawing a Teleportation Circle in a secret chamber, with a pair of Sapphire Earrings embedded with Sheen Pattern lying at the center.
As Twilight descended once more, Aelia stood alone at the edge of the West Terrace.
Fragments of the Marriage Contract Scroll burned to ash beneath her feet; a Defensive Barrier that once required both of them to activate was now being upheld by her left hand alone.
The moonlight stretched her shadow long, and it suddenly twisted to point towards the southern tower—where a crystal ball on Lucius's windowsill glowed with an unusually bright Yin Hui.
When the last trace of Ice Flame extinguished at Dawn, Aelia felt an old stitch in the lining of her sleeve.
It was a pearl torn off during Luna's Hundred Day Feast, now reflecting a blurred Celestial Chart in the morning light.
The edge of the Star Map faintly revealed the Wolf Head Emblem stained with Luna's essence, reminiscent of an unhealed scratch on a Golden Sparrow Medal cherished by a certain boy.
As the morning mist wrapped around the Golden Cress and Cedar Fragrance wafted into the South Tower, Lucius's crystal ball projected Twelve Rays of Yue Lun onto the windowsill.
The boy, wrapped in a Wool Blanket stained with Xing Xu, barely touched the icy surface of the sphere when he heard the crackling sound of the Marriage Contract Scroll burning, penetrating through three layers of stone walls.
"Third Young Master, Madam has gone to the Forbidden Library." In the trembling announcement from the maid, the crystal ball suddenly reflected Aelia's skirt corner, torn by ice crystals.
Lucius grasped the Golden Sparrow Medal from beside his pillow, and suddenly, the unhealed scratches on the back of the medal began to seep Dark Red Blood Droplets, forming the outline of a Wolf Head Emblem on the Wool Blanket.
As Aelia's Ice Crystal Staff touched the seventh step of the Forbidden Library, moonlight suddenly pierced through the Dome Stained Glass.
She watched her shadow split into three forms on the stone wall—a bride holding flowers in her youth, a mother cradling Luna, and now, an avenger with flowing silver hair.
When her Fingertip brushed against the Bronze Box that contained the Soul Contract, a clear voice rang out behind her: "Mother, you forgot that the wolf pack guards their den under the full moon."
In the crystal ball that Lucius held aloft, the Wolf Head Emblem perfectly aligned with the Medal Stain.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace around her Neck suddenly floated and spun in mid-air, projecting a scene from Seventeen Years Ago at the Moon God Altar: Leonard, then Chief Guard, concealed beneath his armor were Sapphire Earrings embedded with a Sheen Pattern.
"You always say my Astrological Talent comes from my grandmother." The boy unbuttoned the second button of his Embroidered Shoes shirt, where Dark Red Luna on his Collarbone pulsed in sync with the scratches on the medal. "But last night’s Star Trail showed that my Flame Pattern should grow on the inner side of my Right Wrist—just like that Red-Haired Bastard from Dongjiao."
At that moment, Luna's Mental Ripple pierced through the barrier of the Forbidden Library, and the Emerald Pacifier emitted a hum that shattered the Bronze Box's surface disguise.
The sheepskin scroll revealing the truth of the Soul Contract began to emerge. Aelia saw Leonard replace the Marriage Token with Snake Pattern Earrings during Leonard's Last Night, while in a corner stood Lucius disguised as Mei Yan, holding a Holy Candle.
"So what you found in Cedar Forest was not an Abandoned Baby," Lucius pressed the medal against Luna. The Golden Cress pattern suddenly transformed into burning chains. "But someone erased of their Royal Bloodline..."
The foundation of the Magic Castle shook violently as Luna's Loud Cry collided with Chaos Magic, shattering Colored Glass.
Aelia's Palm was instantly engulfed by Ice Flame, but it froze abruptly when the crystal ball reflected Leonard's Last Night with a Red-Haired Boy wielding a Dragon Crystal Staff.
Lucius suddenly grasped her trembling Wrist, and where their hands met, the medal burned with a Guardian Spell: "Mother, you taught me that Astrology should not be used to predict misfortune but to seek out dawn’s direction."
As the noon sunlight streamed into the Forbidden Library, Aelia wrapped her embroidered cloak adorned with Ice Crystal Orchids around Lucius's thin shoulders.
The Guardian Spell at the boy's neck resonated with the Chaos Magic from Luna's Cradle, while the Emerald Earrings cast shadows on the wall, where the Celestial Chart depicted the illegitimate child's Crimson Star suddenly entwined by Golden Blossom Vines.
"Replace all the Astrolabes in the East Wing Tower with Elemental Atlases," Aelia said, smoothing out the wrinkles in her cloak. A fingertip of ice crystal formed into a miniature Dragon Crystal Staff. "Inform the kitchen that tonight's Cherry Pie needs double the Honey—Luna is due for her Milk Tooth."
As Twilight gilded the Training Ground with Jin Bian, Luna stirred Second Brother's Lei Guang with Chaos Magic.
When Lucius appeared holding the Elemental Atlas, she deliberately flicked her Emerald Pacifier towards his wrist.
The moment the Crystal Pacifier touched Luna, all Magic Elements in the Training Ground suddenly coalesced into the shape of a Golden Cress—this was a sign of the Royal Bloodline awakening a century later in the Original.
"Mother said she would check your Astrology Assignment tonight." As Lucius bent down, his medal brushed against Luna, and the Wolf Head Emblem reflected a double phantom in the infant's pupil.
Luna grasped his dangling hair tips, and a Mental Ripple sketched a Three-Dimensional Map of East Suburb Manor in the boy's Mind Sea—the Flame Pattern on the Red-Haired Boy's forehead was seeping blood, while Leonard's Snake Pattern Earrings had embedded themselves into the Courtyard Defense Formation.
As the last rays of twilight sank below the horizon, Aelia stood on the West Terrace and lit seven Ice Crystal Lamps.
Lucius stood quietly holding a parchment authenticated by Royal Bloodline, as moonlight cast his shadow over Luna's Cradle alongside the Guardian Spell.
Suddenly, the Emerald Earrings projected a Three-Dimensional Projection of the entire Magic Castle, indicating that Leonard's Dark Red Veins were being uprooted by Golden Blossom Vines from Geomancy.
"Tomorrow we need to get Luna a larger Cradle," Aelia said as she buried an Ice Crystal Orchid Seed into a crack in the spreading stone bricks. Behind her, Lucius's crystal ball unexpectedly projected a Dawn Scene—the Burning Golden Sparrow Medal was planted at the heart of East Suburb Manor, while Luna's Chaos Magic enveloped the entire foundation of the Magic Castle.
