Luna's step seemed to tread on the hearts of everyone in the Glorious Demon Fortress. Within her small frame lay a power capable of shaking this ancient stronghold to its core. She said nothing, simply walking straight toward Aelia's room, with Qin Si closely following behind, the sweat from Palm still lingering on his brow.
Luna extended her tiny hand and pointed to an inconspicuous jewelry box on Aelia's grooming table. Understanding her intent, Qin Si opened the box and unearthed a letter from the very bottom. The envelope bore no mark of My Beloved Nightingale, only Leonard's unique wax seal, resembling a dark purple flame that scorched Qin Si's nerves.
Taking a deep breath, she handed the letter to Aelia. Still reeling from her daughter's astonishing display, Aelia felt a chill run through her fingertips as she accepted the letter. The rough texture of the envelope reminded her of Leonard's sword-wielding hands, yet it pierced her heart like a thorn.
Slowly, she unfolded the letterhead, revealing delicate tiny inscriptions that were not in her familiar handwriting. The content was simple but struck like a heavy hammer, shattering the happiness she had meticulously woven over the years. Within the letter, a woman poured out her love for Leonard, each word dripping with sweetness and longing, slicing through Aelia's heart like a sharp blade.
At the end of the letter lay a small golden lock, perfectly matching Leonard's personal key—an inseparable pair. Trembling, Aelia took out the golden lock and held it in her palm; its icy touch sent waves of dizziness through her. She imagined Leonard gently placing this lock around another woman's neck on Leonard's Last Night, that tender gaze once reserved for her now bestowed upon someone else.
"No... this can't be..." Aelia's voice trembled as if forced from deep within her throat, laced with unbearable pain. Her face turned pale as paper, lips quivering slightly while tears surged in her eyes yet held back from falling.
The Glorious Demon Fortress had stood for centuries, weathering countless storms, yet at this moment it felt precariously close to collapse. Aelia's inner world was crumbling like this magic castle.
Meanwhile, Leonard paced anxiously within the Magic Castle. Upon learning of Luna's actions, a wave of intense unease washed over him. He had no idea how much Luna truly knew or how she would use this information against him. He needed to find a solution quickly to prevent matters from worsening.
"Damn it! How could that little girl know so much!" Leonard cursed under his breath, irritably tugging at his collar. He felt like a trapped beast confined in an invisible cage, bumping against walls with no way out.
He rushed to Aelia's room only to find her sitting pale before the grooming table, clutching the letter and golden lock. In an instant, he understood everything; shock and fury surged within him.
"Aelia, let me explain..." he attempted to approach but was repelled by Aelia's icy glare.
"Explain? What is there to explain?" Aelia's voice was devoid of warmth, chilling as if it came from an ice cellar, sending shivers down his spine.
All of this was witnessed by Luna. Her small face showed no signs of turmoil; instead, her gaze was resolute. She knew this was just the beginning.
On the other side of the Magic Castle, her elder brother sat in a wheelchair, staring blankly out the window. The magic backlash had robbed him of his ability to walk and stripped away any hope for the future.
He had once been the brightest genius in the family, but now he had become a mere shell of himself. Luna walked over to him, extending her small hand and gently placing it on his. A warm magical energy flowed from her palm into her elder brother's body. He felt a tingling sensation, as if a new vitality was being infused into him.
Using her knowledge of magic from her past life, Luna began searching for a way to lift the curse on her brother. She knew it would take time, but she was determined not to give up. "Brother, you will get better," Luna's voice was clear and resolute, like a ray of sunshine illuminating her brother's darkened world. As he looked at her, hope gradually ignited in his eyes.
Luna stepped out of her brother's room and looked up at the sky; the sun was setting, and night was approaching. She understood that the crisis at the Magic Castle had only just begun. Turning towards Second Brother's room, she walked lightly but with an undeniable strength.
"Second Brother..." Luna gently knocked on the door, feeling a twinge of unease in her heart. She pushed open Second Brother's door and was met with a musty smell mixed with an acrid scent. The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn tight, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.
Second Brother sat despondently at the table, his hands clasped over his head, disheveled hair obscuring his face as he seemed to sink into deep despair. Scattered across the table were various ancient grimoires and scrolls, silently narrating his anxiety and helplessness.
"Second Brother..." Luna called softly, concern lacing her voice. He suddenly lifted his head upon hearing her, "Luna, what are you doing here?" His voice was hoarse, tinged with an almost imperceptible tremor.
Luna approached him and gently placed her small hand on his thin shoulders. "Second Brother, I know you're in trouble. Tell me what happened." Taking a deep breath, Second Brother slowly recounted the events that had led to his predicament. It turned out he had been betrayed by his once-trusted friend and trapped in a magical snare that not only sealed his powers but also put his life in danger.
He had tried various methods to break free from this trap but found himself filled with anxiety and fear. Luna listened quietly, her expression calm yet resolute. She understood that Second Brother's dilemma was not without a solution. As a Great Mage in her past life, her understanding of magic far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"Second Brother, don't worry; I will help you," Luna's voice rang clear and firm like a soothing balm for Second Brother's troubled heart. Analyzing his situation carefully and combining it with her magical knowledge from her previous life, she quickly found a way to break through the predicament.
She detailed the method to Second Brother and encouraged him to regain his spirits. As he listened to Luna's explanation, hope began to flicker in his eyes. He hadn't expected this seemingly delicate girl to possess such powerful magical knowledge and wisdom.
Following Luna's guidance, he began preparing step by step to confront the challenges ahead. After leaving Second Brother's room, Luna made her way to Brother San's room. He was staring into the mirror with a forlorn expression on his face.
He was once considered the child with the highest Magical Talent in the family, but due to youthful recklessness, he neglected his training. Now, watching his siblings grow stronger one by one, he felt a deep sense of inferiority and regret.
"Brother San..." Luna gently knocked on the door and walked in.
Brother San forced a smile upon seeing Luna. "Luna, is there something you need?"
Luna approached him and looked at him earnestly. "Brother San, I know you feel regret, but regret won't change anything. You still have a chance. If you're willing to start over, you can definitely catch up."
Her words were like a beacon of light, illuminating Brother San's darkened heart. He looked at Luna, and determination gradually ignited in his eyes.
"Thank you, Luna. I will work hard."
Brother San's gaze became resolute as he decided to resume his training and no longer waste his talent. He believed that as long as he was willing to put in the effort, he could keep pace with his siblings.
Meanwhile, Lucius was shocked by the series of changes happening at home and began to contemplate how to maintain the stability of Magic Castle.
Sitting in his study with a furrowed brow, he held the family Genealogy in hand, lost in thought. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders; he had to find a solution quickly to restore the former glory of Glorious Demon Fortress.
The servants of Magic Castle were whispering among themselves, discussing the recent events. They held Luna in awe and anticipation, believing that this magical little girl could lead them out of their predicament.
As night fell, Glorious Demon Fortress was shrouded in an air of mystery. Luna stood by the window, gazing at the distant starry sky with deep contemplation. She knew that the crisis facing Magic Castle was just beginning, and there was much left for her to do.
Suddenly, she heard urgent footsteps approaching. Turning around, she saw Aelia running towards her with a pale face.
"Luna..." Aelia's voice trembled with fear. "Leonard... he..."
Luna's heart sank sharply.
"What happened to him?" Luna's voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under her control.
Aelia took a deep breath. "He... he brought people with him..."
