Luna was cradled by Qin Si as they basked in the sun at Castle Garden, pink petals swirling along the fountain's water flow.
She stared at the flickering Magic Rune at the bottom of the pond and suddenly recalled the half petal that had rolled under her bed last night—its surface glimmering with starlight, unmistakably the residue of the Cedar Wand's magic.
"Miss, be careful, the water is cold." Qin Si bent down to tie her cloak, but his silver Chain snagged on Luna's collar, which was adorned with a Blazing Phoenix Feather.
As the maid reached to untangle the feather, Luna caught a glimpse of a Peacock Blue Hem darting behind a rockery; the vibrant sapphire hue starkly contrasted with Lady Aelia's elegant Moonlight White Robe.
Suddenly, a baby carriage was overturned by a Magic Circle, and Luna rolled into a thicket of Black Roses.
In that instant, as the Thorny Vines parted on their own, she noticed Leonard's cloak hem dusted with Golden Pollen—a rare Magic Plant that only thrived in the Castle Forbidden Zone.
The man's Palm glowed with Healing Art, radiating an unusual Purple Light as it channeled magic into the Blue Skirt Woman's Wrist, where a Serpent-Shaped Birthmark lay.
"Master said he would inspect the Northern Boundary Barrier tonight." The butler's words from breakfast flashed through Luna's mind, and she bit her lip hard.
In the Original story, this affair would not be revealed until the Midsummer Night Festival; now it was happening three months early. Someone must have tampered with that bottle of Honey Wine mixed with Qing Gu.
Qin Si gasped as he pushed aside the Thorns, and Luna seized the opportunity to slip the pink petal she had clutched into the maid's sleeve.
That night, as Aelia combed her hair, petals shaken loose by Qin Si fell right into a Developing Potion. The starlight from the Cedar Wand formed an image of Leonard’s Lucius in the mirror.
The nightingale-carved Yin Shu "Click" snapped in two. Aelia’s Emerald Earrings shimmered in the candlelight, revealing Leng Guang: "Go fetch Third Young Master Lucius. Tell him I need Phoenix Tears to reforge my Wedding Ring."
Luna lay in her Cradle pretending to sleep, listening to Aelia and Brother San’s conversation ebbing outside the Wedding Canopy.
When Brother San mentioned that "Phoenix Tears can break Qing Gu," a sudden red light erupted from Madam Necks' Guardian Gem—this was the Loyalty Contract Stone that Leonard had personally embedded years ago.
"Tomorrow is Frost Moon Festival; as usual, Master will meditate alone in Stargazing Tower all day." Aelia caressed a gem marred by Ice Cracks and sprinkled Gold Dust made from three scorched egg shells into an incense burner. "Have Lucius change the West Side Barrier to a backlash spell; remember to disguise it with his Father’s most proficient Frost Spell."
The next evening, Luna was carried to the Library of Hidden Books opposite Stargazing Tower.
Qin Si pretended to organize ancient texts while actually aiming a Scrying Crystal at the tower window; Brother San’s Magic Wheelchair was parked at the spiral staircase, hiding Binding Dragon Rope capable of sealing magic within his sleeve; Aelia draped in an Invisibility Cloak leaned against Luna's Cradle, exuding Bluebell Fragrance laced with Phoenix Tears.
As Twilight cast a veil over the Crystal Chandelier, Luna suddenly kicked her Jin Bei and Yi Ya and called out.
Her chubby fingers tightly grasped Aelia's Pearl Necklace, drawing everyone's attention to the changing hues of the Contract Stone—once a vibrant green, the gem's core now oozed Blood Veins resembling a spider's web, signaling the unraveling of their oath.
"It's here." Aelia pressed down on the trembling Crystal Dagger at her waist, watching as Lucius, disguised as the Chief Guard, led Leonard toward the Stargazing Tower.
As the night wind swept up the Lord's cloak, several peacock blue feathers dusted with Golden Pollen fluttered down the steps, glimmering under the moonlight with a honey-colored glow unique to Lover's Gu.
The Scrying Crystal hidden in the ceiling suddenly fogged over with Water Mist; Luna knew this was a sign that the backlash spell had been triggered.
As Leonard melted the West Side Barrier with a Frost Spell, the true trap was weaving itself into a net beneath his feet.
Aelia's fingertips dug deeply into her palm as she watched the surface of the Contract Stone begin to shed Emerald Fragments, akin to witnessing her twenty years of love Huan Meng crumble into powder.
At that moment, the ivy on the Castle Outer Wall began to sway without wind, a current carrying the scent of Mandala Flowers gliding through the stone crevices.
Luna's Blazing Phoenix Feather ignited without warning, revealing half of a Phoenix Totem amidst the ashes—exactly like the Magic Patterns that had vanished from last night's eggshell.
As the moonlight shifted to the tenth stone pillar, a soft sound of gears turning emanated from the Astrolabe atop the Stargazing Tower.
Luna listened to the sound of Malachite earrings clinking closer and closer, her eyes widening in Aelia's suddenly rigid embrace.
The sound was too light for a thirty-year-old woman; it resembled... The chime of Malachite earrings abruptly halted on the seventh step of the spiral staircase.
Luna saw Aelia’s neck and Guardian Gem’s Ice Cracks suddenly spread out into an Ice Crystal Pattern—this was a precursor to the backlash from the Frost Spell.
Leonard pushed open the Shan Na of the Astrology Room’s Bronze Door, and a wave of heat wrapped in Bluebell Fragrance and Phoenix Tears surged toward him, clinging to his cloak dusted with Golden Pollen.
Aelia’s Crystal Dagger buzzed beneath her Invisibility Cloak, while Third Young Master Lucius's Wheelchair Armrest was already ensnared by Binding Dragon Rope around the Door Frame’s Relief Dragon Claw.
"My dear, these Star Maps..." The Blue Skirt Woman's playful tone abruptly cut off.
The Serpent-Shaped Birthmark on her wrist twisted suddenly, sending back Leonard's purple magic into her Blood Vessel—Luna recognized this as a Soul Devouring Curse commonly used by dark magic practitioners.
As Aelia lifted her cloak, the Strong Light bursting from the Crystal Chandelier illuminated Leonard's palm frozen in mid-air.
The residual Purple Light intertwined with the Black Mist surging from the Blue Skirt Woman's wrist, weaving the totem of Lover's Gu within the Star Map projected by the Astrolabe.
"Father, do you know that Phoenix Tears can purify all Contract curses?" Third Young Master Lucius turned his wheelchair, crushing the Golden Pollen caught in the Floor Tile Gap, while the Binding Dragon Rope climbed up Leonard's boot like a living creature.
Qin Si's Scrying Crystal in hand suddenly reflected the back of Leonard's Concubine's neck—what should have been smooth skin was now Emerging with a Dark Red Mandrake Brand.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace snapped in response, and the beads rolling across the ground arranged themselves into the Ming Gui of a traitor under Xing Hui's gaze.
The Guardian Gem finally shattered completely, and the splintered Emerald Fragments crystallized in midair into the vow from twenty years ago at the wedding: "With blood as a contract, there shall be no deceit."
"Madam, let me explain!" Leonard waved his wand, attempting to freeze time, only to see his most proficient Frost Spell explode into icy Lan Yan fire at Xi Chuang's barrier—exactly the trap Lucius had redrawn with Phoenix Tears.
The backlash of the Magic Ripple shattered the Peacock Blue Hem, revealing numerous bite marks from Mama's Gu Worms on the woman's calf.
Luna's swaddling suddenly lifted Ashes of the Phoenix Totem, and Aelia's fingers, stained with Bluebell Fragrance, passed through the Light Spot, precisely pinching the escaping Black Mist Serpent.
At the moment Third Young Master Lucius drove the Binding Dragon Rope into the Peacock Stone Tiles, the entire Stargazing Tower's Celestial Chart abruptly reversed, signaling the complete overthrow of Glorious Demon Fortress Ming Gui.
The ivy on the Outer Wall cracked open with agitation, revealing a hidden Demon's Eye Relief that had been concealed for a century.
Luna watched as Leonard's Concubine’s Dark Mark dissipated along with the Mandala Flower. In her gradually blurring vision, she clenched tightly onto the last remnant of Blazing Phoenix Feather—still carrying the burnt scent of her elder brother’s Magic Backlash from that fateful day.
