The deep blue light of the Ice Crystal Throne had not yet fully dissipated when Aelia's Star Moon Necklace suddenly emitted a clear, crisp sound.
In her arms, the infant's curled fingers unknowingly brushed against the Crystal Pendant, as a warm Golden Halo climbed along the lady's tear-stained chin, transforming into fine Stardust under the refracted light of the ice crystal drapery.
"Bu...ya..." Luna rubbed her forehead, scented with Milk Fragrance, against Aelia's disheveled silver hair. The warm breath of the baby brushed against the lady's Collarbone, where the Contract Mark lay.
To Aelia's surprise, the ancient runes that had dimmed due to depleted magical power began to shimmer with a Mother-of-Pearl luster. She suddenly recalled her wedding night twenty years ago when Leonard had held her hand and said that this Brand was a star that would never extinguish.
A roar from deep within Geomancy signaled the return of the Mine Mother, shaking the Ice Spikes hanging from the Crystal Chandelier until they began to fall.
Her elder brother's Wheelchair automatically turned towards Luna amidst Zhen Chan. The Frost Snow Curse covering his disabled Twin Legs was visibly melting away. "Mother..." His hoarse voice carried fifteen years of stagnant magical energy. "Sister is restoring our original Contract."
"Madam!" Qin Si burst through the Carved Door, her skirt splattered with Ice Shards, scattering petals from the Dong Qiangwei tucked in her hair due to her frantic running.
The usually composed Personal Maid appeared pale as new snow, her frostbitten fingers gripping the Door Frame tightly. "Lord is coming with twelve Black Iron Guards to the palace; all the Peering Eyes in the West Tower have turned Blood Red!"
Aelia tightened her embrace around Luna, and suddenly, the swaddling blanket embroidered with a Star Moon Pattern glowed with a Defensive Rune.
The Ancient Magic Runes woven from Dragon Blood began to disassemble and reassemble on their own, creating a translucent Guardian Barrier around Aelia.
Her Second Brother's Waist Demon-Slaying Sword unexpectedly emitted a Longyin-like Zhen Chan, and the Curse Mark placed by his close friend on the hilt exploded with a loud bang.
"How dare he..." Aelia's Ailya's White Nails, stained with Dan Kou, sank deeply into the velvet pillow as storm clouds of violent Wind and Snow surged within her emerald Luna.
Suddenly, Luna stretched out her chubby little hand, and with a Milk Fragrance-scented Fingertip gently touched Mother's violently rising chest—those Heart Vein cracks torn by betrayal began to heal under the nurturing of the infant's pure Original Magic Power.
As the heavy Obsidian Gate was blasted open by Frost Spell, the entire palace's Defensive Formation activated automatically.
Leonard’s cloak, embroidered with a Nine-Headed Serpent Dark Pattern, rustled in the Magic Turbulence. This Master of the Demon Fortress, known for his thunderous methods, now found his pupils dilating in shock: Aelia, who should have been weakened by the shattered original Contract, sat upright on the Ice Crystal Throne glowing with golden light. The Ancient Emblem on the infant’s forehead resonated with the Castle Leyline.
"Dear, what is the purpose of summoning the offspring at such a late hour?" Lord's bony fingers brushed over Leonard's Sword, which was embedded with a Dark Crystal, ravenously consuming the energy of the Defensive Barrier.
Yet he did not notice that the Golden Light Spots being devoured were gradually coalescing between Luna's curled Toes, slowly forming chains that entwined the Hydra Xu Ying.
Aelia's palm gently caressed the nape of Luna's neck when it suddenly encountered an unusual Temperature; a cluster of Ice Crystal Roses had sprouted among the infant's silver hair.
This was a sign of the awakening of the Snow Wolf Bloodline, but it had occurred a full Twenty Years earlier than it did for her.
The lady's tear-streaked eyelashes fluttered as her gaze swept over her Eldest Son's Twin Legs, which were gradually regaining their color, finally resting on the Yan Zhi Hen faintly visible at her husband's collar.
"Leonard von Christian." Aelia recited his full name in the Ancient Elvish Language used during their wedding vows, causing the Celestial Chart in their chamber Dome to respond by spinning.
Luna suddenly let out a kitten-like Sobbing, her infant Pink Palm Emerging with a miniature Snow Wolf Totem, perfectly suppressing the Hydra shadow attempting to spread beneath Lord's feet. "Is that Nightingale Pollen on your neck from a lover's perfume sourced from the Southern Black Market?" Before Aelia could finish her sentence, the Celestial Chart in the chamber Dome erupted with blinding Silver Light.
Luna's Palm with the Snow Wolf Totem emitted a long Wolf Howl, instantly freezing the Hydra shadow beneath Leonard’s feet into ice crystals.
The Yan Zhi Hen at Lord's collar suddenly transformed into a Blood Butterfly ready to take flight but was sealed within a transparent Amber by bubbles of Milk Fragrance spilling from the infant’s mouth.
"It is merely Xiang Fen offered by the Southern Realm Envoy..." Leonard's fingers brushed against his sword, and black mist began to swirl around them as Jian Qiao accelerated its consumption of the barrier.
But then those Dark Crystals emitted a sound like shattering porcelain—Second Brother’s Demon-Slaying Sword was levitating on its own, and Jian Feng’s flowing Yin Mang resonated with the Star Moon Pattern on Luna's Swaddling.
Aelia’s Fingertip lightly tapped the armrest of the Ice Crystal Throne, causing the Crystal Pendant sealed during their wedding Twenty Years Ago to shatter in response.
Emerging from Misty Stardust was Leonard and a Red-Clothed Woman kissing beside the Moonlight Fountain; as the Nightingale Flower tucked into her hair came into contact with Stardust, it suddenly bloomed with a blood-red Curse Mark.
"Father, do you recognize this Soul Devouring Curse?" The elder brother suddenly leaned against his Wheelchair and slowly stood up, revealing fresh flesh beneath his tattered Mage Robe.
Fifteen years ago, in an effort to protect Mother, the Twin Legs were entangled with a Warm Golden Light that mirrored Luna's eye color.
The crystal ground reflected the Bing Ling that had condensed at his fingertip, resembling the Ice Crystal Rose in Aelia's hair.
The armor of the Black Iron Guard suddenly groaned under the strain, and the Defensive Formation on the palace walls began to siphon their magic in reverse.
Brother San had somehow taken position at the Magic Array Eye, his palm hovering over a Thunderball that should have been abandoned—those Magical Talents guided by Error reformed into a Storm Vortex amidst Luna's unaware murmurs.
"Father, the Blood Moon Demon Eye in the West Tower is devouring Geomancy!" Lucius burst through the broken window, wrapped in Han Qi, his cloak covered in writhing Dark Purple Moss.
He trembled as he unfurled the parchment, upon which a Magic Contract drawn with Dragon Blood was dissolving: "Beneath the Southern Border Manor where Leonard's Concubine resides... lies buried a Hydra Bone that shares its origin with your Leonard's Sword!"
An eerie silence fell over the palace.
The Dragon Blood on Luna's Swaddling automatically wove itself into a three-dimensional map, clearly displaying the writhing black lesions within the Magic Fortress Leyline.
Suddenly, the Dark Crystal on Leonard's Sword exploded, and the flying shards formed a Hydra Totem in mid-air, only to be shattered into powder by the baby's sudden loud cry.
The Ice Crystal Rose in Aelia's hair grew wildly, and Hua Ci's blood dripped from her fingertip onto Luna's Mei Xin.
Amidst the silver hair of the baby, a cluster of newly formed ice crystals reflected a blurred image of Leonard's Last Night—deep within Moonlight Forest, a Red-Clothed Woman was plunging a bloodied dagger into the glowing heart of a tree.
"Mother, be careful!" Brother San's Thunderstorm Sphere suddenly enveloped the entire throne, while Second Brother's Demon-Slaying Sword carved out a Guardian Barrier in mid-air.
The newly awakened Twin Legs of the eldest brother erupted with astonishing magical power, instantly freezing the Shadow Gate that Leonard attempted to summon.
In the chaotic flow of magic, Luna suddenly laughed; her chubby little feet crushed the last piece of Dark Crystal.
A sudden beam of light descended, enveloping everyone within its glow.
The parchment brought by Lucius emerged from the Strong Light, revealing the hidden Iris—what was once the Dark Contract sealed a hundred years ago.
Aelia's Star Moon Necklace unexpectedly unfastened itself, releasing a scent of Milk Fragrance unique to infants as it fell at Leonard's feet, shattering into nine pieces shaped like crescents.
As the last fragment came to a stop, an emblem entwined with a Snow Wolf and Hydra quietly emerged from the nape of Luna's neck.
In the corner of the sleeping chamber, the Ice Prism suddenly reflected a bizarre image—within the mirror that should have been empty, a Red-Clothed Woman knelt with a swaddled infant, bowing towards the Magic Castle. The Bloodline spreading beneath her feet perfectly overlapped with Hei Chao from Geomancy.
The starlight in the dome of the sleeping chamber gradually dimmed as Luna suddenly grasped Aelia's dangling Star Moon Necklace.
A droplet of golden Blood Pearl seeped from the infant's fingertip, winding down along the patterns of the Crystal Pendant, creating ripples on the Ice Crystal Ground—there, the Red-Clothed Woman was inserting a blood-stained dagger into a model of the Magic Fortress Leyline, while shadows of the Hydra emerged from her swollen abdomen.
"It is the manifestation of Prophecy Magic!" The Demon-Slaying Sword wielded by Second Brother suddenly pierced through the center of the illusion, its blade reflecting the woman's ear, marked with a Serpent-Shaped Birthmark identical to Leonard's.
The floating Thunderstorm Sphere trembled violently under Brother San's palm, and the splashing Electric Sparks outlined the contours of Southern Border Manor, perfectly aligning with the parchment map brought by Lucius.
Ailya's silver hair stirred without wind, and ice crystals formed at its tips fell softly onto Luna's swaddled form.
Suddenly, the infant giggled, causing those ice crystals to melt into a pale blue mist that formed a Rotating Star Map above everyone's heads. "Each star corresponds to a Node in Magic Castle's defenses." The newly born brother traced through the mist with his fingertip, frost forming into a pointer-like shape. "Look here—the guardian star of West Tower is being eroded by Blood Mist."
Three silk fragments scented with Nightingale Flower floated down from the illusion. Second Brother used his sword tip to lift one: "This is fabric from Father’s cloak lining." He flipped his Demon-Slaying Sword to reveal its back side adorned with a Dark Pattern that matched Leonard’s embroidered shoes perfectly.
The Cold Wind of Dawn crashed against the Crystal Lattice, scattering the last remnants of illusion into Stardust.
Aelia gently kissed Luna's forehead, which glowed with a Magic Halo. Suddenly, an emblem of a Snow Wolf projected a three-dimensional map from Luna’s nape—seven Geomancy hubs within Magic Castle were entangled by Black Silk Thread, while another end of Dark Purple Thread extended towards a manor in the Southern Region that flickered with red light.
"Mother, please allow me to restart the Northern Alliance." My elder brother's wheelchair rolled through the puddles on the ground, frost blooming in his wake like an Azure Rose Totem.
His tattered Mage Robe shed its charred exterior, revealing a pristine Snow Wolf Leather Armor beneath. "What I failed to protect fifteen years ago, I shall reclaim with these twin legs."
Suddenly, Second Brother cut his palm, smearing blood on the Curse Rift of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
The dark red stain met the blood and transformed into Qing Yan, dissipating as the sword's hilt revealed the concealed Family Crest. "When my dear friend cast a misleading spell on this sword, Father praised him, saying 'Loyalty is Commendable.'" His cold laughter startled the Han Ya resting outside the window.
Brother San's Thunderstorm Sphere suddenly split into twelve Small Light Spheres, precisely hovering over the key Node of the Magic Castle Model.
The electric arc dancing at the boy's fingertip synchronized with Luna's Breathing Frequency. "The Thunder Magic I mismanaged turns out to be perfect for breaking the Shadow Barrier."
"Madam, the Dawn Bell is about to ring." Qin Si changed her snow-soaked cloak for a Battle Robe embroidered with Defensive Runes, her hair adorned with a sharp Ice Spike Hairpin.
The Liujin Jing she held suddenly reflected the scene of the West Tower—the Blood Moon Demon Eye pulsated like a tumor, absorbing Ley Line Energy.
Aelia handed Luna over to Lucius; when the infant's silver hair brushed against his neck, the Dark Purple Moss on his cloak let out a shriek and turned to Ashes. "Take Sister to the Astrological Observatory." The Madam pressed the Star Moon Necklace against Luna's palm, and the crystal, still warm from her touch, projected an image of Leonard's current location.
As dawn pierced through the clouds, Aelia pushed open the Bronze Door intricately carved with Frost Spells.
Her silver hair glinted sharply in the sunlight; with each step she took, the Peacock Stone Tiles bloomed into circles of Ice Crystal Roses.
The leg bones repaired by Eldest Son cracked like glaciers breaking apart, while Second Son's Demon-Slaying Sword dragged sparks across the ground. Brother San's Thunderball bounced between pillars, weaving an Electric Net.
Leonard was in the courtyard adjusting the Moonlight Barrier of a fountain; the Nine-Headed Serpent Ring shone brightly while repairing the Magic Circle.
When he turned around, surprise flickered across his face just right: "My dear, why are you bringing the Children..."
"Revoke the land deed privileges of the Southern Border Manor." Aelia's voice sliced through the air like Ice Blade against crystal, causing the Water Sprite in the fountain to freeze instantly into an Ice Sculpture.
She flung three Silk Fragments, imbued with the scent of Nightingale Flower, which ignited spontaneously upon touching the Magic Circle. From the flames emerged a Red-Clothed Woman, caressing Lucius's Pregnant Belly.
The Lord's fingers twitched slightly as they brushed against his sword, yet Jian Qiao's ability to consume flames could not match Aelia and Jie Yin's speed.
Suddenly, the Ice Crystal Rose at the lady's feet grew wildly, its vines wrapping around Leonard's Leonard's Sword. "Or should I personally visit that lady with the Hydra Bloodline?"
The Eldest Son's frost-laden whip struck the Geomancy Model, causing dark liquid to seep from the West Tower; the Second Son pressed his Demon-Slaying Sword against their Father's back, while Jian Feng collided with the Nine-Headed Serpent Ring, sparking dark purple flames. Brother San unleashed a Thunderball and Electric Net that enveloped the entire courtyard, severing all shadowy Teleportation Circle fluctuations.
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly echoed from the direction of the Astrological Observatory, triggering all Defensive Formations of the Magic Castle.
Leonard's collar, adorned with Yan Zhi Hen, writhed like a living creature but wilted and fell away upon contact with the morning light.
As he raised his hand to adjust his cloak, the Southern Territory Contract Scroll slipped from his sleeve and was instantly swept away by Aelia's Ice Vines.
"Before sunset tomorrow," the Lord said, stroking the cracked Nine-Headed Serpent Ring. Shadows beneath his eyelashes twisted into serpentine Dark Patterns. "I will provide you with a satisfactory answer."
Aelia snapped the last Ice Crystal Necklace from her Neck, its fragments forming a Surveillance Magic Circle in midair.
As she turned away, the Eldest Son deliberately crushed Leonard's recently repaired fountain Base with his restored Right Leg, the sound of shattering Ice Layer drowning out an eerie whisper from within the Lord's ring, reminiscent of a Serpent flicking its tongue.
When the morning mist fully dissipated, no one noticed that a wisp of black smoke had quietly slipped into a crack in Leonard and Leonard's Sword’s shadow.
The direction of that crack extended toward a Crystal Brick in the Dome of the Astrological Observatory, which suddenly became shrouded in Blood Mist.
In the Light and Shadow refracted by Magic Water, Leonard was seen caressing the rounded belly of a Blonde Woman.
The teacup of Aelia fell to the ground, the shattered porcelain glimmering in the moonlight, much like her heart, which was slowly freezing at this moment.
Luna curled up in the Lustrous Cradle, her fingertips quietly gathering the last remnants of magic.
The memories of her past life as a Great Mage were fading, and she had to use the Magic Mirror spell to capture this crucial evidence before she completely transformed into an infant.
"Mother!" Brother San suddenly burst through the Carved Wooden Door, his clothes stained with Starlight Grass Juice—poison that he should have only encountered three months later when testing medicine for the Illegitimate Child.
Second Brother pushed his elder brother's Wheelchair closely behind, the wheelchair grinding over the shattered porcelain with a sound that made one's teeth ache.
Luna noticed that her elder brother's fingers, hidden beneath the blanket, were forming a Jie Yin; it was clearly a technique only top-tier Mages could perform—the Void Drawing Array.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius found this in the Mirror Hall." Qin Si stumbled over, holding a Black Velvet Box, inside which lay half of a broken Family Crest.
Aelia's pupils constricted; this was the protective talisman she had forged for her husband on their wedding night.
A sudden roar echoed from deep within the castle, reminiscent of a dragon's roar. Lucius rushed into the hall, gripping Leonard's Sword, which dripped with blood: "Father has mobilized the Gargoyle Legion from the dungeons!" What he held at the sword tip was a Secret Letter from Leonard's Concubine to Leonard, marked with the Thorn Emblem of a neighboring royal family.
Aelia removed her Sapphire Pendant from around her neck and pressed it into the groove of her Scepter; the millennia-old Magic Fortress Defense Array suddenly awakened.
As she turned around, her Starry Gown transformed into Silver Armor, frost snow falling from her hair: "Let all bear witness; tonight, the Glorious Demon Fortress will cleanse its ranks."
Luna smiled from within the trembling Cradle; in this original timeline, her brothers who were supposed to be dead were still alive.
As Aelia's Scepter illuminated the hall, she saw Second Brother's Puppet Curse dissolving from his neck. Brother San's palm emerged with long-lost Ancient Demon Script, while beneath her elder brother's Wheelchair... a Hexagram Magic Circle slowly unfolded beneath Xu Ying.
