The air in Glory Fortress was thick with tension, a subtle shift in the flow of magic that only Luna, the ancient soul residing in a child's body, could perceive.
A barely noticeable smile crept across her lips.
Everything had begun, she thought, as a chilling anticipation swept through her heart like the winter's Cold Wind.
The time was ripe.
The Dark Purple Thread of Destiny was taut and shimmering, waiting to be plucked.
Luna, an extraordinary girl with the wisdom of a reincarnated Great Mage and an angelic appearance, commenced her meticulously planned dance of manipulation.
She had voraciously devoured that book, knowing every thread of its narrative: the rise and fall of Glory Fortress, the tragedy of her family—now also her family.
This time, the story would be rewritten.
A beautifully carved wooden bird, imbued with simple Summoning Magic, flew out from Luna's Nursery window, vanishing into the velvety Twilight.
It carried a secret—a Poison Arrow aimed directly at the heart of Glory Fortress. This secret would shatter the fragile peace and plunge events into a chaotic whirlpool.
The wooden bird found its target.
Lady Illyria of Glory Fortress sat by the hearth, her elegant fingers caressing the embroidered patterns on her silk cushion.
The firelight danced in her emerald eyes, reflecting a serene satisfaction.
The arrival of the wooden bird shattered this tranquility.
It gently landed on her outstretched hand, accompanied by a faint chirp that projected a miniature scene into the air.
Illyria's breath caught as she gazed at the unfolding illusion: her husband, Lord Leonard, was passionately embracing a woman who was clearly not her.
The scene was disturbingly vivid, evoking a sense of nausea: Leonard's soft sweet words, the laughter of a woman named Ailiya, and the flickering firelight dancing between their entwined hands.
At first, emotions of denial surged within her like a tidal wave, nearly drowning her.
This couldn't be real.
Leonard, her husband of Eternal Loyalty, the Father of her Children… this had to be a cruel prank, a twisted illusion.
But the image projected by Luna's magical wooden bird of Leonard's Last Night was too clear, too real to be easily dismissed.
The world Ilyria had carefully constructed, filled with love and loyalty, crumbled in an instant.
A sharp, icy anger began to crystallize in her heart like shards of glass.
Her usually gentle and calm face became rigid, anger distorting her features.
The emerald light in her eyes turned to ice.
Conflict was inevitable; a storm brewed within the luxurious hall of Glory Fortress.
Ilyria found Leonard in his study, deeply engrossed in maps and scrolls.
He looked up, a smile playing on his lips, but when he met his wife's cold gaze, the smile froze instantly and vanished.
"Ilyria, my beloved," he began, but the words sounded hollow and powerless.
"How dare you call me 'my beloved' again!" she shouted, her voice trembling with suppressed fury.
The illusion still flickered in the air between them like an undeniable accusation.
Leonard's face was pale.
He stammered, attempting to offer weak excuses and fragile denials, but these were utterly powerless in the face of Ilyria's cold fury.
He could feel the walls closing in around him, the carefully constructed facade of his double life collapsing with a thunderous crash.
His anxious gaze darted toward the door; he had underestimated Ilyria, underestimating the strength hidden beneath her gentle exterior.
As the storm raged in the master couple's room, Luna turned her attention to another broken soul in her family—her elder brother.
He was trapped in a wheelchair, his magical abilities diminished by a severe backlash, no longer possessing his former brilliance.
His room, once vibrant with his Magical Energy, was now shrouded in a suffocating gloom.
The petite yet resolute Luna pushed her wheelchair into his dimly lit room.
“Brother,” she chirped, her voice unusually serious for a child of her age.
He barely glanced at her, his gaze vacant as he stared at some point beyond the wall, lost in an abyss of pain and regret.
However, Luna did not lose heart.
From that book, she had learned the herbal formulas and rituals that could heal his damaged Magic Core.
She slowly and carefully explained to him, her small voice echoing in the silence of the room.
At first, he listened with skepticism; could this child, who could barely walk steadily, really be the key to his redemption?
Could she truly mend the wounds that had shattered his life?
He looked at her, his lips moving as if he wanted to ask something, but before he could speak, a sudden commotion erupted from the lower levels of the fortress.
The sounds of shouting and clashing swords echoed through the hall, creating a chilling contrast to Luna's soft narration of healing methods.
It was the sound of a world collapsing, the sound of a carefully constructed illusion shattering into countless pieces.
The seeds of truth that Luna had meticulously planted began to bloom.
"What... what's happening?" he stammered, his voice hoarse from disuse.
Luna's ancient and wise eyes, far beyond her years, glanced toward the door.
"The storm has come, brother," she murmured, her tone carrying a strange and almost icy calmness.
"And the rain... has only just begun to fall..."
As night fell, the Glorious Demon Fortress stood solemn and mysterious under the glow of magical lamps.
Luna nestled in a soft blanket, her large eyes darting around.
"Sister Qian Si, where is the lady?" Luna asked in her innocent voice. Since arriving in this world, she had become Lady Aelia's little shadow, winning everyone's affection with her adorable appearance and occasional insightful remarks.
Qin Si was Madam Aelia's personal maid and held a special fondness for Luna. She smiled gently and replied, "The lady is in the study; Lord is there too."
Luna felt a tightening in her chest, knowing that the main event was about to unfold.
According to the original plot, today Leonard would use official business as an excuse to secretly meet with Leonard's Concubine while Aelia remained blissfully unaware, foolishly preparing supper for him.
No, this absolutely cannot happen!
Luna broke free from the blanket and scampered toward the study with her short legs.
Qin Si was startled and quickly followed her, saying, "Young Miss, be careful! Slow down!"
Outside the study, Leonard's voice could be faintly heard, tinged with impatience. "Liya, I told you I'm busy; stop being so suspicious."
Luna couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Ha, busy with your little lover, I see!
She pushed open the study door and shouted, "Daddy hug! Luna wants a hug!"
The atmosphere in the study instantly froze.
Leonard's expression darkened, clearly displeased with Luna's sudden intrusion.
Aelia remained calm but said, "Luna, dear, Daddy has things to do. Why don't you let Qin Si take you out to play?"
Leonard tried to speak in a gentle tone, but anyone could see his insincerity.
Luna wasn't buying it. She ran over to Aelia and hugged her leg tightly, her voice tinged with tears as she said, "Luna doesn’t want that! Luna wants to be with Mommy! Daddy is mean; Daddy doesn’t like Luna anymore!"
As she spoke, she secretly winked at Aelia.
Aelia felt a stir in her heart. She knew that although Luna was young, she was very clever; there must be a reason behind her actions.
"Leonard, you should pay attention to the child no matter how busy you are," Aelia said in a calm tone, though it carried an undercurrent of subtle detachment.
Leonard felt even more irritated. He glanced at Aelia and then at the pitiful-looking Luna, realizing that escaping today would not be so easy.
"Alright then, I'll stay home with you both today," Leonard forced a smile, though inside he wished he could fly straight to Leonard's Concubine.
Luna felt a secret satisfaction within her. Hmph, trying to leave?
It wouldn’t be that easy!
Next, she would gradually expose Leonard's true nature, clearing all obstacles for Aelia and for this family!
In the following days, Luna cleverly guided Aelia to discover the secrets between Leonard and Leonard's Concubine, using her understanding of the plot.
Although Aelia was in pain, she was relieved that she had not been kept in the dark all along.
She began to secretly investigate Leonard's enterprises and uncovered substantial evidence of his embezzlement of family assets.
Meanwhile, Luna did not forget about her three brothers.
First, she used her title as the reincarnation of the Great Mage to guide her eldest brother in his training, helping him gradually regain his magical abilities. Then, through some subtle tactics, she made Second Brother recognize the true nature of his close friend, freeing him from the Magic Dilemma. Finally, she earnestly persuaded Brother San, helping him understand that talent was not everything; only through diligent practice could one truly master powerful abilities.
With Luna's efforts, the Glorious Demon Fortress began to undergo tremendous changes.
Aelia was no longer the submissive housewife; she started to take control of the family's power and clean house. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Brother San gradually found their direction again, contributing to the family's future.
All of this stemmed from that infant girl who had crossed over—Luna.
With her wisdom and courage, she changed the entire family's destiny and wrote a new chapter for herself in this magical world…
