The moonlight pierced through the diamond-colored windows of the banquet hall, refracting a honey-colored halo on the ice crystal-coated ground.
Aelia gently caressed the swaddled Luna in her arms, her fingertips brushing against the residual warmth of magic left on the wrapper of Starlight Candy hidden within.
Suddenly, a bouquet of wisteria flowers hanging from the crystal chandelier burst into bloom, and three hundred light sprites flitted through the tables, serving guests cups of Stellar Brew filled with magical honeydew.
"Let us raise a toast to the brave warriors who have lifted the magic backlash!" The Silver-Haired Astrologer struck the strings of the Moonlight Harp, causing the Celestial Star Map to spin in response.
Her elder brother entered slowly, leaning on his obsidian staff, its tip embedded with a Dragon Blood Gem that flowed with honey-like Jin Mang—this was the result of Luna's secret replacement of the Curse Medium last night.
A frost-formed Demon Wolf transformed into a docile Snow Dog at his feet, eliciting gasps from the audience.
As he used his restored right hand to unravel the Magic Pattern Nine Linked Rings, Aelia proudly lifted her chin, her gilded hairpin chiming softly in the magical light.
Just three days ago, those hands had been bound by cursed bandages, yet now they skillfully captured errant Lightning Balls in mid-air, stringing them into a shimmering Starry Necklace.
"Truly worthy of being the champion of the Magic Arena for three consecutive years." A noblewoman at the adjacent table twirled her emerald ring, its mirrored surface reflecting Aelia's barely contained smile. "I heard your son improved the Blizzard Spell so well that even the Northern Ice Dragon willingly offered its reverse scale?"
Just as Aelia opened her mouth to respond, a sudden clinking sound from a crystal cup interrupted her.
The Red Cloaked Alchemist shook his cup filled with purple wine and scoffed, "Too bad Second Son didn't have such luck. He was tricked by his close friend into breaking an Ancient Magic Rune and ended up trapped in the Time Corridor for half a month—"
Aelia's napkin embroidered with Rosa was gripped tightly in her hand, tearing at the seams.
She stared at Second Son in the distance, who was adjusting his pocket watch. The boy still bore a light gold scar on his neck from where Time-Space Turbulence had cut him.
Yesterday, when Luna crawled into the study, Aelia had witnessed her daughter press sticky fingers coated with maple syrup onto a page of the Magic Rune Compendium. This morning, three crucial pages from that Forbidden Book had mysteriously gone missing.
"If you ask me, Third Young Master Lucius is truly the most unfortunate." The Black Robed Wizard raised his voice deliberately, pointing his wand at Brother San, who was sneaking bites of a sugar-frosted muffin. "He clearly has Prophecy Talent but chooses to believe those charlatans from Astrology Tower..."
Aelia's Gilded Armor tore through the Tablecloth.
Three days ago, she had stumbled upon Luna sprawled over the Astrolabe, the silver-gray pupils of the infant reflecting a Star Trail that was completely opposite to what the Prophecy Crystal displayed.
At this moment, Brother San's Pocket Watch flowed with Caramel Magic, quietly altering the Star Projection of the Banquet Hall Dome.
Luna suddenly squirmed in her swaddling, her tiny hand precisely grasping a falling Sugar Crystal Snowflake.
Aelia felt the Family Crest on her chest warm slightly and looked down to find the Sugar Coating on the infant's eyelashes melting into Secret Silver Runes.
Following Luna's gaze, she was astonished to see that the Star Map reflected on the Ice Crystal Ground perfectly overlapped with the Dessert Totem that had vanished from the Altar Ruins.
"Madam, it’s time to showcase the Magic Pendant." Qin Si timely presented a Velvet Gift Box.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed over the winding Laurel Branch Pattern on the jade pendant. Just yesterday, Luna had crawled over the Grooming table and repeatedly traced this pattern with her honey-coated fingers.
As the pendant hovered above Luna's head, the previously dim Magic Pattern suddenly burst forth with an Emerald Color Liuguang.
The guests gasped and stepped back as they witnessed a Magic Circle projected by the pendant, from which emerged the Ice Crystal Butterflies swirling around her elder brother as he broke a curse, Xu Ying struggling within a Time Magic Rune, and countless possibilities misled by Brother San due to an Error in the Star Trail—all of which were slowly being corrected by some form of Caramel Magic at that moment.
"It seems the rumors are true." Lord Leonard suddenly appeared behind Aelia, ice crystals on his Scepter glimmering with a Maple Sugar Luster. "Ever since this child arrived, the Magic Field of the Magic Castle has begun..." His words trailed off as Luna had somehow grasped his flowing silver hair, her tiny palm sticky with Starlight Candy fragments seeping into his hair’s Ancient Incantation.
The banquet hall suddenly shook violently as joyful Horn Sounds from the Earth Vein Spirit echoed from the kitchen.
Three hundred Maple Syrup Jars burst through the Cellar Dome, exploding into a sky full of Jin Yu amidst Magic Fireworks.
Luna suddenly laughed as she crawled toward Leonard, her syrup-coated little hands leaving Strange Symbols on his luxurious cloak.
When the infant climbed onto Lord Lucius' thin shoulders, those Symbols resonated with the remaining Magic Circle of the jade pendant, freezing falling Syrup Raindrops into suspended Xing Mang.
Aelia gazed at her husband's stiff expression and suddenly noticed the frost at the tip of his Scepter, where a silver-gray Magic Radiance flowed faintly, reminiscent of the light in Luna's eyes.
The Star Map of the Banquet Hall Dome shifted once more, and a star that should have been dim suddenly burst forth with a honey-colored glow—this was the Curse Star, absorbed by the Starlight Candy wrapper that Luna had hidden in her swaddling when the altar collapsed last night.
The Xing Mang Sugar Coating from the Banquet Hall Dome fluttered down, crystallizing into tiny amber shards among Leonard's silver hair.
Luna sat on the Lord's shoulder, sucking her fingers as honey-colored Maple Syrup dripped down her Oujie-like arms, seeping into the ice crystal totem at the tip of the Scepter—this was the Frostwolf Emblem of the Glorious Demon Fortress, a thousand years of Inheritance.
"The Earth Vein Spirit says twelve new desserts have been added to the kitchen's Secret Recipe." The Red Cloaked Alchemist sniffed the air filled with Caramel and Cedar Fragrance. The magic Zhang Jian had conjured up silver threads that curled back, wrapping around a piece of Starlight Candy. "It seems the Lord has been quite interested in desserts lately?"
Leonard's ears flushed crimson as they caught the refracted light from the ice crystals. He recalled three days ago when he caught Luna sneaking a taste of the altar offerings, her silver Hui You eyes blinking as she stuffed a Starlight Candy covered in Sugar Coating into his palm.
The patterns formed by the melting Maple Syrup on Parchment coincidentally matched those of an Ancient Spell sealed beneath the Magic Castle.
"Magic Honey Muffins are here!" Twenty Goblins wearing chef hats charged in with a cart, their wheels splashing Sugar Coating across the Ice Crystal Ground, which transformed into fluttering Transparent Butterflies mid-air.
Guests discovered that each muffin was stamped with a Frostwolf Totem, but instead of traditional Rubies for the wolf's eyes, there were fragments of Luna's favorite Starlight Candy.
Aelia's Gilded Armor brushed lightly against the edge of a gift box, causing ripples to form on the jade pendant resting within its velvet lining.
Last night, she had seen Luna use her syrup-covered fingers to trace a twisted Star Trail on the back of the jade pendant—now that pattern resonated with an unusually bright Curse Star in the Dome.
"Madam, there's something wrong with Third Young Master Lucius's Pocket Watch Magic Flow." Qin Si whispered while pouring wine; reflections in the Gilded Wine Pot showed Lucius adjusting his Pocket Watch as Caramel Magic flowed backward along the Astrolabe's patterns. "It needs to be addressed..."
"No need." Aelia's fingertip brushed over a piece of Starlight Candy wrapper peeking out from Luna's swaddling. The jagged cracks along the edge of the Sugar Paper matched perfectly with her husband's newly added Magic Pattern. "Some Error Star Trails should be corrected by someone who truly understands stars."
She suddenly rose and walked toward the center of the banquet hall, causing blossoms of Frosted Roses to bloom upon each step on the Ice Crystal Ground.
When the Gilded Armor touched the floating Magic Pendant, the surface of the jade pendant suddenly revealed Xu Ying from last night's Grooming stage—everyone clearly saw the infant form of Luna leaning in front of the mirror, drawing on the back of the pendant with her honey-covered fingers, depicting a scene of Aelia's husband meeting with Leonard's Concubine.
"When did the Starlight Candy from the Magic Castle gain prophetic abilities?" The Black Robed Wizard deliberately pierced through Xu Ying's Leonard's Last Night, only to see the shattered Light Spot automatically reassemble, revealing Leonard's Star Constellation Array set up in the Outer Chamber, identical to that of the Magic Castle Altar.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings suddenly dropped half-solidified Maple Syrup, remnants of the Starlight Candy she discovered in her husband's study that morning.
As the pendant projected the core of the Outer Chamber's Star Constellation Array, a Silver Gray Crystal floated, matching Luna's eye color perfectly, causing gasps to ripple through the banquet hall.
"It seems some people even plagiarize their daughter's ideas when it comes to infidelity." Aelia chuckled softly, her fingertip suddenly entwining with Luna's messy Silver-Gray Hair—this hair color was entirely different from the Frosted Silver of the Leonard Family's Inheritance but harmonized perfectly with the light emanating from the pendant at that moment.
Luna suddenly opened her small hands towards the dining cart, and the Liuli Jar containing Starlight Candy shattered in response.
The splintered sugar pieces formed a fragmented Magic Pattern in midair, perfectly completing the missing key Curse in the pendant's projection.
As guests witnessed the complete Curse, an ancient gear turned suddenly echoed from the Magic Castle Cellar—the long-sealed dessert altar unexpectedly rose to the center of the banquet hall!
"So this is truly the Prophecy Altar?" Lucius's Pocket Watch in hand suddenly spewed forth a Caramel Star Trail; those Ancient Inscriptions that should have been carved on stone slabs were now faintly visible beneath the Sugar Coating layer on the altar’s surface. "That counterfeit in Father's Study..."
Aelia's Gilded Hairpin clinked against the edge of the altar as she gently tied the pendant around Luna's neck. "Three Days Ago, when this child was looking for candy at the Altar Ruins, I should have discovered the truth beneath that Sugar Coating layer."
When the pendant touched Luna’s skin, it revealed Xu Ying from Three Hundred Years Ago—a Lady of the Fortress.
Everyone was astonished to see that lady pressing her honey-covered fingers against the back of the pendant, her Silver Gray Pupils mirroring Luna’s Magic Radiance.
"It seems that the tradition of giving pendants from Magic Castle dates back to the Dessert Wars." Luna cooed softly in her swaddling blanket, only Aelia heard that sigh laced with Milk Fragrance.
The chubby fingers of the infant Luna unconsciously grazed along the edge of the pendant, where a solidified Maple Syrup gap formed—a perfect match to a damaged pendant she had seen in a museum in her past life.
Suddenly, a clear sound of shattering crystal echoed through the banquet hall as Lucius accidentally knocked over his Pocket Watch, releasing an overwhelming surge of Caramel Magic.
As the Young Master crouched to pick up the parts, he happened to hear Luna mumbling indistinctly, "Why does every Lady of the Fortress love to give jade pendants..."
His fingertip suddenly caught on a Pocket Watch Gear. Peering through the gap in the components, he noticed that the patterns of jade pendants emerging beneath the altar's sugar coating all bore the same honey-like cracks as the one in Luna's hand.
When he leaned in for a closer look, the Earth Vein Spirit suddenly blew a horn, and a flurry of Starlight Candy fragments instantly obscured all traces of secrets.
Lucius's fingertip hovered above the Pocket Watch Gear, and the golden pointer abruptly spun back half a turn, dragging Luna's indistinct mumble back into focus.
The Young Master stared at the baby girl covered in sugar coating, trying to decipher more information from her baby voice mentioning "jade pendant." Just then, Luna pressed a piece of Starlight Candy against the edge of the altar, and caramel-colored maple syrup began to flow along the jade pendants of past Ladies of the Fortress.
"Does Third Young Master Lucius also like sweets?" Luna suddenly tilted her little face up, her silver-gray pupils reflecting Lucius's hair tips glistening with syrup.
She deliberately poked her honey-coated finger toward his sleeve embroidered with star patterns. Caramel magic instantly seeped out in crooked prophecy symbols on his silver-threaded embroidered shoes—exactly like the Northern Crown track that Lucius had misidentified last night at the Astrology Tower.
Aelia's pearl earrings suddenly dripped half-solidified maple syrup, creating sparkling star-like dots on the altar's surface.
She gathered Luna closer to her, casually brushing against the back of the jade pendant with her gilded armor. "The favor of the Glorious Demon Fortress shouldn't be flaunted like sugar-coated cookies."
Half a piece of Starlight Candy wrapping paper floated out from Luna's swaddling. When Qin Si hurried to catch it, she discovered that the back of the sugar paper was adorned with a honey-drawn star map that perfectly overlapped with Aelia's Outer Residence Map that she had burned last night.
The maid’s eyes glistened as she tidied Luna’s silver-gray hair, quietly slipping the sugar paper back into the baby’s tiny fist—where there was still half a piece of melted maple syrup seeping out with an amber hue matching Lord’s cloak magic pattern.
"But the jade pendant is...," Luna purposefully rubbed her forehead against Aelia’s chin, and the sugar coating that had crystallized on her eyelashes fell onto the surface of the jade pendant.
Those prophecy scenes that should have vanished with a spell suddenly flickered to life under the impact of sugar grains, revealing Leonard and Leonard's Concubine exchanging tokens before a replica altar. They shattered into starlight in Aelia’s suddenly tightening embrace.
The dome exploded into twelve layers of magical fireworks as Earth Vein Spirits blew their honey horns and pushed in dessert carts.
Seizing Aelia's momentary distraction, Luna grabbed at a jade pendant tassel and wriggled toward Leonard's direction.
Her chubby little legs kicked away the swaddling embroidered with the Frostwolf Totem, and her toes, covered in Maple Syrup, left a winding magic pattern on the Ice Crystal Ground that perfectly matched the new cracks appearing on the Lord's Scepter.
"Father..." Luna suddenly uttered clear broken syllables, startling Lucius, who was adjusting his Pocket Watch, causing him to snap the silver thread he was using for detection.
The ice crystals on Leonard's Staff cracked in response, and the wrapper of Starlight Candy hidden within the staff fell to the ground, just covering the secret Star Map that the infant had drawn on the Sugar Coating Ground.
Aelia's Gilded Hairpin suddenly emitted a crisp sound like Feng Ling. She watched her husband stiffly lift Luna, whose sugar-coated hands left caramel-colored fingerprints on the collar of his ice crystal cloak.
As Luna pressed her honey-covered face against Leonard's chin, a silver-gray curse emerged from the Lord's ear, identical to the Tracking Magic Pattern that the infant had drawn on his skin with Starlight Candy last night.
"I want fireworks!" Luna twisted in Leonard's arms like Little Luna covered in Maple Syrup, her small hand wildly pointing at the blooming Magic Fireworks.
The light and shadow that should have displayed the Frostwolf Totem transformed into an Earth Vein Spirit holding a Honey Jar under the reflection of her pupil.
When the third wave of fireworks exploded, the infant suddenly grasped a strand of silver hair from the Lord and pulled herself up half an inch using it as leverage.
Second Brother paused while adjusting the Magic Pattern Pocket Watch; the glass of the dial reflected Sister attempting to climb onto Father Lucius' thin shoulders in a precarious manner.
A honey-colored glow suddenly radiated from his neck's Time-Space Scar, activated by the Healing Syrup that Luna had secretly applied that morning.
Brother San's Sugar Frosted Muffin fell with a thud, and from its creamy filling emerged a Caramel Star Trail that quietly resonated with the Magic Pattern Luna had smeared on the Lord's cloak.
"Go higher!" Luna's silver-gray hair suddenly burst forth with Xing Mang. The infant clutched Leonard's ice crystal-embedded collar while her syrupy knees pressed against his collarbone.
As the Lord helplessly supported this bundle radiating Starlight Candy and Cedar Fragrance, the last firework in the Banquet Hall Dome fell just as it reflected Luna riding on Lucius' neck—an image reminiscent of the totem depicting the First Generation Castle Lord's Lady holding a Honey Jar at the Prophecy Altar.
Luna's silver-gray hair flickered in and out among the embers of Magic Fireworks, and her small hand, now sticky with Maple Syrup, clutched Leonard's collar's Ice Crystal Button.
The Lord’s palm supporting the infant’s waist began to sweat; melted Sugar Coating trickled down along his wrist’s Magic Pattern, etching out a design of the First Generation Castle Lord’s Lady’s Secret Silver Necklace on the Ice Crystal Ground.
"Be careful!" The Second Brother's Pocket Watch suddenly emitted a Caramel-colored alarm, its glass face reflecting Sister as she pushed up against Father's chin with her honey-coated knee.
The Time-Space Scar on his neck suddenly throbbed. The Healing Syrup that Ye Lu had applied the night before now revealed prophetic patterns—an image of a baby girl riding on a giant's neck from Leonard's Last Night, perfectly matching the totem described in the Magic Fortress Ancient Tome as the "Starry Eye Cursebreaker."
Brother San's Silver Fork clanged as it pierced the Cream Tower, and the sweet treat burst open, releasing a Caramel Star Trail that pointed directly at Luna Mei Xin. "This is impossible!" He stared at the Honey Color Curse swirling within the baby Luna; it was unmistakably the Forbidden Astrological Chart Remnant he had burned just last month.
As Luna's swaddling strap brushed against the Crystal Cup's rim, the distorted star patterns reflected in the cup were completely opposite to the genocide Disaster he had dreamed about.
Aelia's Gilded Armor suddenly displayed a dual perspective—her Left Eye saw Luna laughing while holding Leonard's Moonstone Earrings, but her Right Eye found her husband’s shoulder empty.
She crushed the Tang Jing crystallized on her eyelashes and opened her eyes again to find the baby had drawn a complete Frostwolf Totem in Lord’s silver hair using Maple Syrup. The Starlight Candy at the wolf's eye position oozed Amber Liuguang, identical to that of the Prophecy Altar.
"Go higher..." Luna's Baby Voice urged, wrapped in a sweet Honey fragrance, as her Chubby Twin Legs suddenly burst forth with Xing Mang.
The Ice Cracks on Leonard's Staff expanded in response, and twelve Starlight Candy wrappers hidden within the staff swirled upwards, forming a rotating Star Trail throne around the baby.
The Second Brother's time-space Pocket Watch began spinning counterclockwise wildly, its chain wrapping around his trembling Wrist. "Sister is altering the causal lines!" He saw that with every inch Luna rose, a Curse Star in the Banquet Hall Dome transformed into Sugar Coating and vanished.
Those Magic Backlash Spells that should have trapped his elder brother were now shattering beneath the baby’s kicking Little Feet into Honey Dust.
Brother San's Silver Fork suddenly melted into Liquid, its Caramel-colored metal tracing Luna’s silhouette on the Crystal Plate. "Prophecy Talent... how could she possess..." As the baby reached for the floating Sugar Paper Star Trail, he clearly saw that tiny hand emerging with an Astrological Magic Pattern he had struggled for ten years to form.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings suddenly dropped half a solid Tang Lei, splashing weak Prophecy Ripples across the Ice Crystal Ground.
Using the pretense of adjusting Luna's Swaddling, her Fingertip gently brushed against her husband's nape—where there should have been a Rose Kiss Mark left by Leonard's Concubine, it was now painted with Maple Syrup into a Frostwolf Emblem.
"Lord is particularly generous today." The Red Cloaked Alchemist deliberately shook his Starry Sky Gummy Cup. "Could it be that this child's silver-gray eyes remind you of..." His mockery was abruptly cut off when Luna threw a Sugar Frosted Snowball that perfectly blocked his mouth; inside was a fragment of last night's swapped Curse Medium.
Leonard's Ear felt the Tracking Magic Pattern suddenly heat up as he became aware that the height at which the baby was riding allowed her jade pendant Projection to envelop the entire banquet hall.
As Luna's Silver-Gray Hair brushed against his eyelids, the Star Trail altered by Maple Syrup suddenly took on a tangible form—guests gasped and recoiled as a Lady of the Fortress from Three Hundred Years Ago, Xu Ying, rose from the altar, pressing her Honey-stained Fingertip against Luna Mei Xin.
"Mother, look!" Brother San suddenly pointed at the floating Sugar Frost Star Map. What should have foretold Disaster with the Northern Crown Track was now twisted into a Frostwolf Totem by the chaotic grasp of the infant's tiny hands.
The Caramel Magic on his cuff suddenly boiled, seeping out Ancient Demon Script that read "Breaker" onto the Silver Thread Embroidered Shoes.
Aelia's Gilded Hairpin suddenly resonated with a Harp Tone. She gazed at her husband, rigidly holding Luna, and momentarily saw the scene of their wedding night twenty years ago as they danced together.
At that time, Leonard's Staff was topped with a Ruby, not the Starlight Candy fragments that now fell from the infant's movements.
When the Earth Vein Spirit sounded the Final Feast Horn, Luna abruptly stuffed the last half piece of Maple Syrup into the Lord's mouth.
The thick Maple Syrup sealed his unspoken Spell, and seizing the opportunity, the infant clutched the Jade Pendant Tassel and slid back into Aelia's embrace, leaving behind Leonard with a melting imprint of the Sugar Frost Throne on his shoulder.
"The grand finale of Tomorrow's Magic Tournament..." The Announcement of the Competition Owl suddenly echoed from the Crystal Chandelier, as Twelve Rays of Magic Invitation precisely fell within the range of his Blizzard Spell.
Before the guests could recover from their earlier shock, those Ice Crystal Invitations transformed under the surge of Magic Power into three hundred Ice Butterflies carrying Frostwolf Banners, fluttering gracefully into the air.
