The Crystal Chandelier in the Magic Castle Banquet Hall refracted thirty-seven Ice Spikes into tiny Light Spots that fell upon the Ice Sculpture Rose at the center of the Long Table.
Aelia's fingertip brushed against the edge of Luna's swaddling, tracing the Thorn Tattoo. The crisp sound of a Silver Fork clashing with a porcelain plate accompanied Throne Leonard, who smiled as he raised his glass, "This year's harvest from the Frostwolf Hunting Ground..."
Luna, wearing cotton socks embroidered with a Star Moon Pattern, watched as bubbles of Milk Fragrance popped against Second Brother's trembling Spoon.
She glared at her reflection in the Crystal Cup, her infant mind racing with thoughts: How could this old scoundrel boast about the hunting ground?
It was clearly a secret love nest bought with Mother’s dowry!
"Wah—" Little Luna, wrapped in a Gold Thread cloak, suddenly burst into tears, three Milk Stains adorned with ice crystals trailing down Aelia's Mo Lan gown.
The eldest brother's wrist trembled as he cut through a deer steak, the Silver Fork screeching against the porcelain plate.
Leonard paused with his wine glass at his lips, the Gilded Cufflinks reflecting Aelia's cold smile: "The children are tired." The Lady of the Fortress gently patted Luna's back, her ice-blue hairpin Liu Su brushing against Brother San's clenched fist. "Lucius, take your sister to the greenhouse to see the Orange Blossom."
The Wheelchair rolled over the hidden Star Map Judgment Array beneath the carpet. As the eldest brother took Luna from her swaddling, her tears fell precisely onto the exposed stump covered by his black robe.
The Young Mage’s stiff arm suddenly relaxed—those days and nights tormented by Dark Magic were momentarily sealed by this warm drop of Tears.
"Father, please allow us to take our leave." Second Brother tucked away the blood-stained Experimental Notes into his sleeve, his Pale face illuminated by the moonlight Ice Spike piercing through the castle's Castle Spire.
Leonard gripped his Goblet tightly, watching as his Four Children transformed into four trailing silhouettes of Xing Hui. Ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to utter those words: "Stay a moment longer."
In the corridor, an Orange Flower Potted Plant shed its last few dry leaves.
"Look at the Contract Monument!" The maids carrying Xunxiang stoves whispered excitedly behind a stone pillar.
The inscription of Lord Liujin was covered in frost, while thirty-seven Blue Roses were wildly growing in the gaps of the floor tiles brushed by Aelia's skirt.
At the moment Luna grasped the Lucius Darkmoon Pendant, a Golden Star Trail suddenly emerged from beneath Third Young Master Lucius's black cloak.
The crowd at the Lantern Festival market swallowed the gloom of the Magic Castle.
Wrapped in the Snow Marten Cloak sewn overnight by Qin Si, Luna's grape-like eyes reflected the myriad of Liuli Lanterns in the sky.
Suddenly, she saw Brother San frozen in front of the sugar figurine stall—the girl in the Crimson Cloak was bent over, selecting a Rabbit Lantern. The Evening Primrose Vine entwined in her hair was marked with the insignia of the Saint Maiden from the elven clan, as depicted in the original story, tied to Lucius and his Regretful Marriage.
"Why are you hiding, Third Brother?" Luna intentionally smeared Maple Syrup on his collar.
As Lucius fumbled to wipe it off, the elven girl had already turned and disappeared into the crowd of riddle solvers.
He did not see that within the fallen Rabbit Lantern lay a Chasing Shadow Spell that Luna had secretly reinforced with her saliva.
A sudden wind carrying a metallic scent swept through the dark alley.
"Watch out!" The sound of his brother's wheelchair collided with a Demonized Crow lunging at Luna, and the explosion of Guardian Spell from its severed limb illuminated the cold sweat on his forehead.
The Bloodstained Notebook of Second Brother flipped its pages automatically, trapping a second wave of shadowy figures: "It's a Shadow Hound raised by Father..."
Luna clapped her hands, pretending to reach for the crow Hei Yu floating in the air.
No one noticed that hidden in her swaddling was half an Ice Crystal Rose—on it was reflected Leonard's desperate attempt to break free from his icy confinement before the Contract Monument.
As the last fragment of Hei Yu transformed into Stardust, a roar echoed from the Magic Castle Spire, resonating with the sound of the Astrolabe.
"Madam, please return to the Fortress immediately," Qin Si hurriedly approached, clutching a shattered Liuli Lantern, her skirt carrying the cold fragrance of a century-old Cold Ice Wine from the Cellar.
Aelia's favorite Orange Blossom Hairpin had inexplicably been replaced by a Blue Rose, its patterns flowing under the moonlight like those of the Contract Monument.
Leonard stood in the shadow of the terrace, watching as the Eldest Daughter returned, cradling an infant and stepping over shards of Ice Spike scattered across the ground.
As Aelia's Snow-colored Cloak brushed past the ancient well in the courtyard, a chilling anthem emerged from its depths—the Ice Crown Anthem, played during the First Generation Fortress Master’s wedding to the Moon Goddess Priestess.
"Father is watching Brother's leg," Lucius suddenly whispered.
Luna followed Brother San's gaze and saw Leonard's eyes fixed on the Eldest Son's severed limb, filled with a pain she had never witnessed before.
The Dark Magic Silk Thread swirling around Lord Fingertip was about to touch the Wheelchair when it was pierced by an Ice Rose blooming from Aelia's Skirt.
The infant suddenly reached out toward the moon, and a delicate sound of cracking Ice Layer echoed from the direction of the Contract Monument.
Leonard hastily withdrew his Magic Residue as it swept across the Banquet Hall; the bouquet of Orange Blossom placed beside the Throne finally withered into ash.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed over the newly formed Ice Cracks on the Contract Monument, as the subtle fragrance of Blue Rose wove an invisible Crown through her hair.
Luna, nestled in Brother San's arms, unexpectedly let out a burp that smelled of Milk Fragrance, prompting a crisp echo of cracking Ice Layer from deep within the Contract Monument.
"I'll check on the sealing of the Ice Wine in the Cellar." As Lady of the Fortress in her Snow-colored Cloak swept past Leonard, the ancient well that had slumbered for a century suddenly erupted with musical notes formed from moonlight.
Leonard raised his hand to block, but was cut by the illusion of water from the well, causing dark red droplets of blood to fall to the ground. At that moment, the orange blossoms on both sides of the corridor turned towards Aelia's departing figure.
The gilded candelabra cast flickering shadows over Leonard's pupils as he stared at the faint outline of a magical prosthetic beneath the tattered robes of the Eldest Son. "If your leg..." Leonard's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the second half of his sentence, while an ancient bronze ring struck against the wheelchair armrest, producing a hollow echo.
As the wheelchair rolled over the moonlight flowing across the peacock stone tiles, the joints of the mechanical prosthetic suddenly overflowed with Xing Hui—a healing rune that Luna had secretly drawn with her saliva last night was taking effect.
"Father says the magic castle cannot be entrusted to a cripple?" The eldest brother chuckled around the corner, his black robe swirling like a wound torn by night.
The second brother's experimental notes released a blood butterfly that perched on his shoulder, its wings shedding phosphor dust that reflected Leonard's suddenly constricted pupils—the gaze Lord had just directed at the Eldest Son was strikingly similar to that he wore twenty years ago when he sought treatment for a poisoned infant.
Lucius suddenly lifted Luna above his head. "Sister, do you want to see Liuli Lantern Fish?" The baby waved her swaddling blanket, sending tiny ice crystals flying, instantly freezing the dark magic embers drifting in the corridor.
Third Young Master Lucius brushed past an ice sculpture with sleeves embroidered with a starry moon pattern, and immediately, light and shadow from the Lantern Festival market emerged within the ice crystals.
The moment they stepped out of the magic fortress barrier, twelve magic fountains simultaneously erupted in ice blue fireworks.
Luna's grape-like eyes widened in astonishment—the floating lantern grass dragged along a river of Ying Huo stars as it swept past gothic spires, and moonlight condensed into dancing sugar coating on glazed tiles.
A goblin merchant clad in a leopard-print vest rode a floating skateboard, pursued by hundreds of phantom cats tied with Yin Ling.
"Third Young Master is well!" An old wizard who made sugar figurines suddenly poked his head out from a steam mushroom cloud, golden green eyes unique to elves flashing behind his crystal lens.
Lucius stumbled and knocked over a jar of rainbow syrup, the thick liquid tracing out the outline of an Elven Saintess amidst evening primrose in the ground.
As the eldest brother's wheelchair rolled over the sugar painting, Xing Hui erupted from the joints of the mechanical prosthetic and suddenly formed into a healing circle.
Luna took the opportunity to grab his flowing silver hair, rubbing the Healing Rune stained with milk deep into his locks.
In the distance, the clock tower chimed seven times, and the Star Chart Device resting on the wheelchair armrest suddenly began to reverse its rotation.
"Look! The Mermaid Ice Sculpture parade from the Northern Territory!" The crowd parted like the sea, and twenty crystalline sculptures glided down the street to the rhythm of Snow Country Fantasia.
Lucius gazed at the lead mermaid, whose face bore a striking resemblance to the Elven Saintess. Suddenly, Luna was captivated by the cedar fragrance wafting from the Magic Candy Shop—floating in the window was a Snowberry Candy that transformed into patterns from the Contract Codex.
His brother's mechanical prosthetic, devoid of awareness, tapped against the wheelchair armrest, harmonizing quietly with the melody of a music box emanating from the candy shop.
As Luna reached out with her chubby fingers, adorned with strands of mercury, towards the Crystal Jar, a phantom cat above the shop owner's head suddenly burst into fireworks. Among the exploding stardust, a figure resembling Aelia emerged, sealing Ice Wine in the cellar.
The shadow of the Liuli Lantern swirled in Luna's eyes, and she suddenly clutched tightly at her brother San's garment, where Xingyue Liusu was stitched.
The Diamond Display of the Magic Candy Shop reflected strange colors, and the wrapping paper of Snowberry Candy began to subtly reveal the patterns of the Magic Castle Contract Tablet.
Her brother's silver hair danced without wind, and at the edge of a Healing Rune on the wheelchair armrest, a frost-like Magic Crystal suddenly crystallized.
The Diamond Display of the Magic Candy Shop refracted moonlight into a rainbow of Sugar Coating, sprinkling it over Luna, who was marked with milk stains.
The floating Snowberry Candy suddenly cracked open its pink and white Sugar Coating, revealing a complete view of the Magic Castle Contract Tablet painted with Blueberry Juice inside.
Luna suddenly stretched out her little arms like those of a puppet and began to shout excitedly at the glowing Magic Candy inside the Crystal Jar.
"I want this one with the Ice Crystal Pattern." The silver hair of the eldest brother fell over the edge of the Candy Jar, and the flowing Healing Rune on his severed limb reflected the Star River Flow's Track on the glass surface.
The Phantom Cat above the shopkeeper's head immediately burst into golden fireworks, wrapping around the Mint Green candies that precisely landed in Luna's Palm.
From the tightly clenched fist of the baby, wisps of Ice Blue Mist leaked out, condensing in the air into fragments of the Frosty Sonnet used in the Aelia Sealing Cellar.
Suddenly, the Lily of the Valley Wind Chime from the neighboring Magic Accessory Shop chimed, resonating with Brother San's Starry Moon Tassel Pendant and the Elven Silver Chain in the display window.
Luna's grape-colored eyes were immediately drawn to the rotating Moonflower Brooch in the Showcase, where within its flower core embedded with Morning Dew Crystal floated Ancient Elven Script she had seen last night at the Contract Monument.
"Third Young Master, would you like to try the newly arrived Star Tear Stone Bracelet?" The shopkeeper lifted a Liuli Lantern adorned with Ying Huo bug Light Spots, revealing a silver chain entwined with Ice Thorn lying on a Dark Red Velvet lining.
As Lucius's Fingertip just touched the Chain Pendant, a wave of Evening Primrose Scent from the Elven Saintess's hair suddenly swept through half of the market.
He stumbled back in panic and knocked over a Display Case, causing twelve Moonlight Shell Hairpins to float and form a pattern resembling an Escape Marriage Contract.
Luna suddenly squirmed violently in Second Brother's arms, her small hands sticky with Maple Syrup slapping Brother San's chin, which was dripping with cold sweat.
The blood-stained Experimental Notes of Second Brother flipped pages on their own, using Blood Butterfly Phosphor to draw out Article San Bai Tiao from the Marriage Contract Code—exactly what Lucius had torn up years ago.
The eldest brother's Wheelchair rolled over an Ice Blue Rose that had emerged from a gap in the Floor Tile, while his Mechanical Prosthetic joints suddenly froze the Moonlight Shell that was reconfiguring its pattern.
"That Sapphire Forehead Ornament..." Lucius's voice was rough like sandpaper, his trembling Fingertip hovering above the Swan Shape Magic Accessories in the display window.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna smeared her saliva-covered Snowberry Candy onto his Hand Back. The Maple Syrup melted into Ice Cracks upon heating, perfectly aligning with the newly added fissures on the Contract Monument.
When Third Young Master Lucius finally gritted his teeth and bought the Forehead Ornament, a figure of the Elven Saintess emerged from within the gem, her back turned as she selected Rabbit Lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
The warm illusion was shattered by the scent of Evening Primrose wafting from across the street.
The girl in the Crimson Cloak, Shan Na, emerged from the Divination Tent, causing Lucius to stagger back as if struck by a Poison Arrow, like a Night Owl caught off guard.
As he collided with Luna while rushing into the Alchemy Materials Shop, the Amethyst Ore Sample on the counter vibrated, echoing the sound of a torrential downpour from the night of Regretful Marriage.
Luna's face flushed with anger as she waved her Rattle, covered in Dragon Scale Powder, and struck Brother San on the Collarbone—each dull thud sent a bottle of Memory Potion tumbling from the shelf.
Suddenly, Second Brother's Experimental Notes flew open, inscribing the Elf Intermarriage Code in Blood Ink in midair.
The heavy thud of Eldest Brother's Mechanical Prosthetic against the Wheelchair Armrest caused the Crystal Bottle containing Fire Lizard Gall to explode, releasing Orange Yellow Smoke that revealed Lucius tearing up his Marriage Certificate at fifteen.
Luna's tears transformed into Ice Beads, crackling as they fell onto the Showcase's Secret Silver Ore, freezing the reenactment of a Past Illusion in place.
"Back then, the Saint Maiden sent a Wedding Dress woven from moonlight..." Lucius's voice mingled with the bubbling of the Silver Cauldron. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the Sapphire Forehead Ornament. "Yet I followed Father to Shadow Canyon to hunt Silver Wolves." The Transformed Lizard at the Alchemist Shop Owner's counter suddenly swelled into the form of a Silver Wolf, its Emerald eyes reflecting Third Young Master Lucius's pale face.
From Luna's swaddling, half an Ice Crystal Rose suddenly emerged, its petals refracting Chen Lu’s image of the Elven Saintess sitting alone in Moonlight Forest.
The Healing Rune beneath Eldest Brother's black robe buzzed to life as the Star Chart Device on the Wheelchair Armrest projected a revised Contract Codex—exactly what Luna had secretly added last night with her saliva in a corner of the Contract Monument.
As notes from the final chapter of Snow Country Fantasia drifted through the market, Luna suddenly grasped at Brother San’s collar where Xingyue Liusu hung.
The baby’s eyelashes glistened with Sugar Coating, while deep within her Pupil flowed golden Xing Mang that only a Great Mage possessed.
Her chubby palm slapped against Lucius's heart, the remaining Snowberry Syrup immediately forming a pattern interwoven with Evening Primrose and Ice Rose.
A clear sound of cracking Ice Layer came from the direction of the Contract Monument, and suddenly, the Ice Wine from Aelia's Sealing Cellar spilled forth with a century-old fragrance.
Luna blew a bubble towards the moon, within which swirling Stardust faintly formed the ancient Courtship Dance Steps of the elven race.
She tugged at Lucius's collar adorned with Xingyue Liusu, her grape-like eyes sparkling with fragments of Magic Lantern light.
Suddenly, she pointed her chubby finger, coated in Sugar Coating, towards the Showcase of the Alchemy Shop. The unique Milk Fragrance of a baby mixed with the sweetness of Snowberry Candy sprayed onto Brother San's nose: "Yi Ya!"
"This is an extract of Evening Primrose." Second Brother's fingertip brushed over the Silver Light flowing within the Crystal Bottle, and the Experimental Notes automatically flipped to reveal illustrations of the elven Courtship Ritual. "Combined with Northern Aurora Silk..."
Lucius hurriedly stepped back and bumped into a floating shelf, three bottles of Memory Potion swaying above his head, echoing the sound of a storm from that fateful night of Regretful Marriage.
Taking advantage of the moment, Luna grabbed onto the edge of the shelf where Ice Silk hung down. Her legs kicked wildly in mid-air like those of a small animal, and an Ice Crystal Rose that fell from her swaddling suddenly bloomed into a cloak shape.
"Stop messing around, Luna." Brother San reached out to catch the falling baby, but the Ice Silk wrapped around him like a living thing, entwining itself around his black robe.
Suddenly, the Star Chart Device on Elder Brother's wheelchair began to reverse its rotation. The Mechanical Prosthetic burst forth with Xing Hui, showering Lucius with Moonstone Powder from the shelf.
As the Silver Light dissipated, Third Young Master Lucius in his Ink-Colored Robe transformed into an Aurora Cloak adorned with Xing Xu.
Luna clapped her chubby palm, and several Ice Crystal Butterflies flew out from her drool bubble, precisely catching the Mermaid Tear Gem Scepter from the shelf.
Second Brother's Experimental Notes fluttered as he wrote in mid-air with Blood Ink: "Northern Nobility Dress Code."
"That's absurd." Lucius felt his ears flush as he tugged at his cloak, but the tip of the Scepter suddenly reflected the image of the Elven Saintess selecting a Moonlight Shell.
He instinctively let go, and as the Scepter hit the ground, it triggered a Magic Ripple that transformed all the Liuli Lanterns along the street into the shape of Evening Primroses.
Luna suddenly twisted in her swaddling, her baby voice sobbing like a melting Honey Cake.
She grabbed Brother San's cloak and pulled Liu Su toward the Alchemy Shop's Magic Mirror. Her soft baby fingers accidentally activated the mirror's True Eye function—within it, the image of Fifteen-Year-Old Lucius tearing up a Marriage Certificate appeared, while the Evening Primrose in the Elven Saintess's hair withered instantly, reminiscent of Leonard's Last Night.
"Enough!" Third Young Master Lucius yanked off his Aurora Cloak, but as he reached for Luna, he found himself frozen by her tears.
Luna's Lacrima transformed into Ice Blue Rose Petals, swirling gently as they adhered to his trembling hand.
In a corner of the shop, a Transformed Lizard suddenly expanded into the form of a Silver Wolf, its Emerald eyes reflecting scenes from the hunts in Shadow Canyon years ago.
His elder brother's Wheelchair abruptly blocked the mirror, and beneath the black robe, Healing Runes flowed, branding the mirror with a Stellar Seal.
Second Brother's Experimental Notes closed with a snap, splattering Blood Ink that crystallized in mid-air into ancient characters spelling "Family Glory."
Seizing the moment, Luna tugged at Lucius's silver hair, smearing Healing Runes coated in Maple Syrup into his locks.
From the Magic Candy Shop came the melody of "Snow Country Fantasia" from a music box, as twenty Mermaid Ice Sculptures glided past the shop window in rhythm.
The Sapphire on the Lead Dancer's forehead resonated with Lucius's Scepter in hand. The crimson silhouette across the street selecting a Moonlight Shell suddenly turned around; the Evening Primrose Vine in the Elven Saintess's hair was slowly unfurling.
Luna let out a triumphant Yiya Sound, her chubby finger pointing towards the Saint Maiden.
Brother San instinctively raised the Scepter, striking a Noble Posture, while the Xing Xu on the Aurora Cloak automatically arranged itself into the mating Contract of the Contract Codex.
As the Moonlight Shell of the Saint Maiden Fingertip rippled, an Ice Crystal Rose on Lucius's chest suddenly bloomed, revealing a Repentance Rune drawn in Luna's saliva hidden within its petals.
The Halo of the Magic Lantern cast flickering shadows over Lucius, his knuckles turning white from gripping the Scepter tightly.
Just as the gaze of the Elven Saintess was about to sweep past the display window, Third Young Master Lucius abruptly shoved Luna into his elder brother's arms, and the Aurora Cloak transformed into night mist, dissipating into the dark alley behind the Alchemy Shop.
An Evening Primrose Extract Bottle clutched in hand suddenly cracked open, and on the Silver Light flowing across the Ground, an unfinished vow from a torn Marriage Certificate emerged faintly.
The silver moon illuminated the Bing Ling of the Magic Castle Spire, where Luna, wrapped in a swaddling blanket trimmed with Gold Thread, stared with Amethyst-like eyes in Aelia's embrace.
In the banquet hall, twelve Crystal Chandeliers simultaneously burst into Bing Hua, scattering fine dust of light onto Leonard's shoulder and scorching his newly changed Silver Fox Cloak with charred Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes.
"Father truly intends to include that bastard in our Genealogy?" The elder brother's Wheelchair rolled over a floor scattered with Shattered Crystal, and black mist suddenly poured from his empty pant legs beneath his Robe, coalescing into a poisonous Serpent Pattern Curse on the Long Table.
I hurriedly waved my chubby little hand, using my grip on Aelia's Pearl Necklace as a cover to quietly wipe away those forming Soul Devouring Curses.
The Temperature in the banquet hall dropped by twenty degrees; even the Fire Fox Cloak that Qin Si brought in time was covered in Frost Flowers.
Leonard stroked the Rose Family Crest embroidered on his cuff; that Magic Crystal Flower which should have bloomed was wilting between his fingers. "The Ileana Family has already sent over the Marriage Cancellation Letter. If Lucius cannot... before next month's Festival..."
"Brother San is not useless!" My sudden outburst of Baby Language transformed into a Silver Light Wave that made the Harp in the corner play by itself.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, I deliberately threw the Crystal Pacifier towards Brother San's direction, watching as the moonstone traced a perfect parabolic arc through the air before landing precisely in his Goblet filled with Violet Wine.
In the rippling wine liquid, Ileina emerged on the clock tower's peak, held down by a figure in a black robe as she inscribed the Contract Totem of Leonard's Last Night.
"Sister, even Astrology has awakened?" Second Brother suddenly crushed a Crystal Cup, blood dripping through his fingers into the Prophecy Ripple.
Seizing the moment, I released three strands of Divine Sense, wrapping them around the wrists of the Three Brothers—Eldest Brother had an altered Magic Rune Array emerging from his Wheelchair Armrest, while Second Brother dropped half a poisoned Pocket Watch from his collar. To my surprise, Brother San let slip a Lady's Glove embroidered with a Shadow Rose from his sleeve.
As the crowd surged during the Lantern Festival, I leaned on Qin Si's shoulder and caught a special wave of energy.
Under the Liuli Lantern adorned with a Double-Headed Eagle in the Southeast, Ileina's black robe subtly revealed a Dark Red Curse Mark at her sleeve. The way she caressed the lantern tassel made Brother San, a hundred meters away, suddenly clutch his Heart.
"Soul Resonance." I bit my Fingertip with my Milk Tooth and drew a Reverse Tracking Symbol on Qin Si's Hand Back.
The moment blood seeped into my skin, Brother San's Waist Leonard's Sword suddenly unsheathed three inches, and the Sword Hilt Gem and Ileina's Moonstone Earrings both glowed with an Eerie Blue Light.
A Golden Carp transformed from the Colorful Lantern swam overhead, and I took the opportunity to attach my Divine Sense to its tail.
As the Magic Fireworks exploded in the night sky, revealing the ninth illusion, I finally saw the Black Curse spreading beneath Ileina's Collarbone—it was the Eternal Contract binding the Shadow Mage’s sacrifice of souls.
"Brother San, look at the top of the lantern!" I projected an image into his mind.
Within the Mortise and Tenon Joint of the Colorful Lantern's framework lay fragments pointing to the Wedding Ring from years past, now being pieced together into a fragmented Guardian Array under Ileina's Shadow Power.
