The sound of ice shattering broke the frozen moment.
Aelia watched as the suspended Blood Pearl suddenly transformed into ice crystals that fell in a flurry. Her gaze fell upon the Young Girl curled up like a snowball in the Cradle, and the questions rising in her throat were crushed by the explosive sound of Jing Lei from outside.
Qin Si stumbled into the Assembly Hall just as Lady Fingertip was using an Ice Blade to slice through the Sealed Letter Wax.
"Master Lucius has broken through three formations in the Magic Arena of Winter Frost City!" The maid, her Cherry Wine-scented Skirt Hem sweeping across the ground littered with shattered ice, continued, "The Crystal Scorpions from the Eastern Mine Vein have retreated to Twilight Marsh. This time, Third Young Master Lucius will surely—"
Aelia abruptly stood up, and the Malachite table was covered with Spider Web-like Ice Cracks from Han Shuang's frost.
The figure of the Eldest Son curled up in a Wheelchair floated up from her memories. The genius who could make Ice Roses bloom at Shuangyue Lake by the age of ten now struggled to summon water elements, coughing up blood mixed with Ice Shards.
"Unseal all the Frostmoon Wine stored in the Cellar for thirty years." She broke the silver chain adorned with an Ice Spirit Stone around her Neck, and shattered ice formed a Communication Crystal in her Palm. "Have Lucius come immediately..."
A speeding Magic Messenger crashed through the Colored Window, revealing Luna gnawing on a Starlight Stone with her Milk Tooth.
The infant's Light Gold Pupil reflected the boiling Competition arena within a crystal ball—her elder brother, who should have been mentally corroded by Puppet Potion in the Original Plot, was now controlling Ice and Fire Twin Dragons to shatter the last barrier.
"Correct the message!" The Messenger's Wings were still dusted with Sulfur ash from the Eastern Iron Mine. "The victor is Isaac Frostflame, Eldest Son of Glorious Demon Fortress!"
Qin Si's Cattail began to burn softly in her arms, casting light on Aelia's suddenly Pale face.
The portraits of past Lords on the walls of the Assembly Hall suddenly emitted mocking sounds, as Leonard's Sword emitted a hum; black Black Slime oozed from his grandfather Leonard's staff within the Image.
"Where did you get this information?" Aelia's Ice Blue Hair stirred without wind, freezing the Cherry Wine dripping from Qin Si's Skirt.
The maid trembled as she pulled out a crumpled Parchment. Among Lucius's crooked Tiny Inscriptions crawled strange Gold Dust: Mother, do not worry. I have met a master at the Competition who can improve Puppet Potion...
Luna suddenly let out a giggle, the baby's palm pressed against the Communication Crystal.
Memories from her past life surged like a tidal wave—back in Chapter 158 of the original book, it was this mixture of Puppet Pollen and Gold Dust that allowed Second Brother to personally deliver a poisoned blade into Brother San's heart.
"Go to the Ice Tower." Aelia tore the lace embroidered with the Family Crest from her sleeve, ice creeping up her fingertips and along the Gilded Door Frame. "Let the Three Young Masters..."
Her words were cut off by the rolling Sound Wave echoing down the corridor.
The Second Young Master burst through the Carved Wooden Door, leaning on a broken staff entwined with lightning, followed closely by Third Young Master Lucius, surrounded by a swirling mist of poison.
The Wheelchair creaked over the frozen carpet, revealing the Eldest Brother's wrist wrapped in Spellbinding Bandage beneath his black robe.
"Mother actually believes that useless person, who can't even summon a complete Elemental Sprite, can win?" Third Young Master Lucius flicked his fingertip, sending forth a Crystal Scorpion, its poison mist gathering into a mocking smile on the Council Chamber Dome.
The Second Young Master suddenly shattered the Ice Sculpture by the window with Lei Guang, shards flying and cutting into Qin Si's Luna. "We've even had our qualification for the preliminaries rejected by Father! He says the Glorious Demon Fortress is enough with just Lucius!"
Luna's Cradle erupted with Xing Hui as the baby drew a fragmented formation in the air with its drool-covered fingers.
Blood scabs frozen on Isaac's Wheelchair Armrest suddenly peeled away, piecing together Leonard's Last Night from the original book—a scene where Leonard was pierced through the chest during the Frost War, now covered in Puppet Rune and Gold Thread.
Aelia staggered to support herself against an ice pillar as memories of that day when her Eldest Son awakened his dual elements howled and tore away her disguise.
She finally saw clearly that her husband's robe lining did not shimmer with Gold Thread Embroidery but rather with Puppet Silk circulating in the black market.
The Crystal Bottles entwined with the Eldest Son's healing potions showed traces of Gold Dust settled at the bottom.
"Prepare the Dragon Carriage." She secured Luna's Cradle with an Ice Chain at her side, the frozen corpse of a Crystal Scorpion falling from her sleeve. "Go to Winter Frost City to fetch your elder brother..."
As Jing Lei struck down, Leonard's cloak embroidered with Golden Cress swept over the Teleportation Circle at the Eastern Iron Mine.
The cuffs dusted with Puppet Pollen brushed past the bubbling Lava pit, a few grains of Gold Dust plummeting into the boiling magma, conjuring an image of Aelia leaping into the flames with her three sons, resembling Xu Ying.
The Purple Flame of the Teleportation Circle had yet to dissipate, while Leonard's Deerskin Boots, adorned with Golden Cress, had already sunk into the Ice Layer.
Twelve Ice Crystal Dragons dragged the Liujin carriage, hovering above the lava pit, as Aelia's Ice Blue Hair Tips glistened with droplets of Crimson Lava.
"Did you teach Lucius to embroider the Family Crest with Puppet Silk?" Aelia's Luna suddenly grasped at the falling Gold Dust. The infant's palm ignited with Xing Huo, burning through Leonard's Robe sleeve—twenty-three Puppet Rune Gold Threads slithered off like shedding snakes.
Leonard's Fingertip trembled as Shadow Tentacles suddenly froze. He gazed at the three sons' incomplete staves within the carriage: "The Glorious Demon Fortress needs an Heir who can speak in council; Isaac’s frost curse..."
"So you used black market Puppet Silk to choke him while he coughed blood?" Aelia flung an Ice Spike, causing the frozen Lava to explode at Leonard's feet.
Amidst the Ice Mist emerged a memory of Leonard's Last Night when Eldest Son was ten—young Isaac lifted an Ice Rose to catch Third Brother’s shattered Moonlight Cup. Now, beneath his black robe, bandages laced with runes oozed Gold Dust.
Luna suddenly touched the crystal ball with a bubble coated in Xing Hui saliva. Inside the sphere emerged a Remnant Page from the original book: Leonard stood on the top floor of the Puppet Master Guild, embracing an Outsider Woman, his feet resting on a Blood Contract Scroll marked with a Magic Castle Emblem.
"When you stripped them of their qualifications to compete, did you ever consider that Second Son’s lightning staff contained Third Brother’s Antidote?" Aelia’s Bing Lei shattered into crystals, freezing Leonard’s retreating Shadow Magic.
A metallic distortion echoed from within the carriage as Second Young Master melted last year’s Blessing Necklace gifted by Father into molten iron using Lei Guang.
Suddenly, countless Gold Threads sprang forth, only to wither upon touching the Surrounding Poison Mist of Third Young Master Lucius. "Does Father not know?" The young man flicked the Crystal Scorpion from his Fingertip. "The Puppet Pollen you sent as a Birthday Gift last year has all been nurtured into Poison Gu by me."
The Lava Pit surged violently, and the Gold Dust that fell from Leonard's sleeves coalesced into the Outsider Woman, Xu Ying.
Aelia's pupils constricted—clearly, the Ice Spirit Stone dangling from that woman's Earlobe was the Heart Protecting Artifact taken by her husband while she lay unconscious after childbirth.
"Mother, Father acquired thirty percent of the Puppet Master Guild's shares last month in your name." Isaac, seated in his wheelchair, suddenly spoke. The Ice and Fire Twin Dragons that burst forth from beneath his black robe crushed Xu Ying.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her small hand, dusted with Gold Dust, against Mother’s chest. The Ice Spirit Stone at Aelia's Neck suddenly reflected the Magic Castle Cellar—at the bottom of the Three Hundred Jars of Frostmoon Wine were marked with the Puppet Rune bearing the Emblem of the Outsider Family.
Leonard's defense was drowned out by the roar of a Dragon Beast.
Aelia retaliated by freezing the Lava beneath her husband's feet. Under the Ice Layer, the Gilded Oath from Twenty Years Ago’s Marriage Certificate surfaced, those Irises that once entwined Shuangyue Lake’s Blessing were now seeping Hei Xue under the corrosion of Puppet Gold Powder.
"Return Fortress." Aelia lifted Luna to her eye level; within the infant Luna flowed a Star Map piecing together a new Prophecy Scene.
When she caught sight of a small fragment of Ice Rose Petals hidden within the mysterious smile at the corner of Young Girl's mouth, the ice crystals condensed on the Dragon Carriage's Railings suddenly revealed a melting inscription: the third load-bearing pillar in the Cellar bore Mother's lost Wedding Ring Engraving.
As a violent Wind and Snow engulfed the carriage frame, Luna quietly tucked away half-eaten Starlight Stone into Aelia’s unfastened Silver Chain of the Corset.
The faintly visible Ice Cracks on the inner side of the gem resembled the shape of the Window Lattice in the Forbidden Chamber of the Magic Castle Library.
