As the Frost Flying Carpet landed at the main gate of the Glorious Demon Fortress, the Eaves Ice Spike refracted the first ray of moonlight.
The eldest brother turned the Wheelchair, crushing the scattered Shattered Crystal beneath it, and his eyelashes, illuminated by the moonlight, fluttered slightly—wrapped in a swaddle, the Little One clutched an ice crystal Teething Stick and giggled, a small Ice Rose still clinging to her silver hair.
"This Little Rascal seems quite spirited," Brother San remarked as he removed his cloak, stained with Magic Plant Blue Blood Fern Juice, revealing a crooked Patch inside.
As he reached out to hold Luna, a half-man-high Ice Thorn suddenly shot up from the edge of the Flying Carpet, only to dissolve into a flurry of Xing Xu upon touching the baby’s chubby feet.
Luna kicked her little feet adorned with Embroidered Gold Thread socks and blew a series of Rainbow Bubbles towards the Southeast Tower.
One bubble popped right on Brother San's nose, and the residual Magic Ripple dyed the withered Magic Vine patterns on his Sleeve an Emerald Color.
"It seems our little Victory Report messenger has triumphed?" The eldest brother's Fingertip condensed into an Ice Butterfly that landed on Luna's Mei Xin, sending a chill that made her emit a series of urgent Yiya Sounds.
Just then, Qin Si emerged from the shadows of the porch holding a lantern, witnessing Luna poking at the suspended ice crystal puzzle in mid-air—the crooked patterns clearly depicted an aerial view of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
As Leonard's Dark Cloak swept past the steps, the frozen twelve zodiac signs in the Fountain Pool began to rotate clockwise.
Brother San paused while supporting Luna's neck and suddenly flashed a thorny smile at the man in the shadows: "Does Father want a cup of welcome tea? Lady Eileen’s freshly dried Moonlight Rose pairs well with Snowfield Rock Salt."
Moonlight brushed over Lord Neck as that Blood-colored Pattern swam beneath his skin like fish.
Luna suddenly grasped Brother San's dangling silver chain, and the Chain Pendant embedded with Ice Spirit Stone clinked against Leonard's Leonard's Sword.
A certain Ancient Restriction awakened amidst the sound of metal clashing, causing the Ice Crystal Lanterns hanging on either side of the porch to turn towards the east in unison.
"Rarely do Children show such thoughtfulness." Leonard's knuckles turned white as he gripped the sword hilt; his Gilded Wristguard formed a stark contrast against Brother San’s layered Patches.
As he lifted his foot to step over the threshold, Luna unexpectedly blew a bubble wrapped in Gold Dust towards the Watchtower, and upon bursting, the Magic Ripple startled an owl perched atop it into flight.
Second Brother looked up from a pile of scrolls just as a drop of Magic Ink from his Feather Quill Tip blurred onto the Defensive Formation Diagram paper.
He held a half-eaten Honey muffin in one hand, his fingertip stained with ink, as the deliberately raised voice of Qin Si echoed from outside the open window: "The Third Young Master has taken the Young Miss into the Warm Pavilion—"
The muffled sound of the muffin dropping onto the Parchment was swallowed by the night breeze.
Second Brother leaned out over the windowsill, moonlight illuminating the embroidered Counterspell Magic Pattern on his sleeve.
As Leonard's Silver Boots crunched through the snow in the courtyard, twelve ice whirlpools began to rise from the bottom of the Fountain Pool, spinning in reverse.
"Second Young Master!" A maid carrying hot cocoa collided with the suddenly motionless Magic Broomstick.
Second Brother's fingers turned white as he gripped the Lattice, his gaze fixed on Leonard's cloak adorned with Dark Patterns, as if he intended to burn through the Rose Totem entwined with Thorns.
When Luna's silver hair brushed against Brother San's neck, he was startled awake by a sound like shattering ice crystals.
The baby in his arms was gnawing on his collar's Crystal Button with its Milk Tooth, its Chubby Palm resting on his Heart—where remnants of magical Dark Injury surprisingly began to feel warm.
"Does Father know that the fireplace in the Main Hall has been refitted with Northern Fire Lizard Crystal?" Brother San suddenly stopped before the spiral staircase, while Luna blew bubbles towards the Ancestral Portraits on the wall.
When one bubble burst against the edge of a Frame, Lucius's knight in the Image blinked suddenly.
Leonard's movements froze in mid-air.
Within his dark shirt collar, Blood-colored Patterns flickered in and out of visibility with the sway of torches lining the corridor.
As Aelia's skirt, adorned with ice crystals, swept around a Turn Corner, Luna reached out to grab her Mother's dangling silver chain—the Ice Spirit Stone Pendant resonated with Lord's Neck blood-patterned Zhen Chan, startling an Ice Crystal Sparrow resting on the chandelier.
When Qin Si pushed open the Carved Door to the Main Hall, a fragrant wave of Sugar Coated Roasted Apples wafted out.
Luna's Teething Stick clattered onto the Marble Floor and exploded into tiny Bing Hua as it rolled past Leonard's feet.
The baby waved its small hands in triumphant cheer, completely unaware that the ice crystals forming among its silver hair reflected Father’s suddenly constricting Pupil.
A crisp sound of colliding Crystal Vessels suddenly echoed from the direction of the Warm Pavilion, mingling with the unique vibrations created by my elder brother's Wheelchair rolling over the Magic Rune.
Second Brother's hand, still clutching a muffin, hung outside the window, snowflakes swept up by the night breeze landing on his frozen expression of astonishment.
Brother San turned Luna's Wrist, the baby's breath carrying a Milk Fragrance brushing against Leonard's stiff shoulder.
As the Lady of the Fortress swept through the threshold in her skirt adorned with Xing Hui, twelve Ice Crystal Chandeliers suddenly illuminated simultaneously.
Luna blew out her last Golden Red bubble towards the Phoenix Totem in the Dome Mural, watching it float down to land gently on the Liujin Tehui in the center of the Main Hall.
The Carved Wooden Door closed behind Leonard as Shan Na entered, and the halos of the twelve Ice Crystal Chandeliers suddenly solidified into form.
Warm Golden Radiance flowed over Aelia's skirt hem embellished with Star Diamonds, outlining Thorn-Shaped Light Spots at her feet.
Luna grasped the Pearl Button at Qin Si's collar and blew out a translucent bubble towards the steam rising from the teapot.
"Father arrives just in time." My elder brother turned his Wheelchair, crushing several floating Light Spots. An Ice Butterfly shook off fine Jing Chen from his shoulder. "The Northern Merchants just delivered a Snow Wolf blanket this morning—your old knee injury could use a knee pad."
Leonard's Gilded Wristguard collided with the Liujin Tehui, producing a Qing Yue sound.
As he reached out to take the Moonlight Rose Tea offered by Qin Si, Brother San's Patch sleeve brushed against the Silver Tea Tray, causing the withered Magic Vine patterns to bloom into vibrant green under the tea mist.
"On my way." The Lord's Blood-colored Patterns twisted into Rose Vines in the tea mist. "I happened to encounter Aelia's carriage in Cedar Forest." Just as he sipped his tea, Luna suddenly twisted into an unruly ball of silver threads in Qin Si's arms, her chubby little hand knocking over a Crystal Cup filled with Rock Salt with a "slap."
Aelia’s fingertip, adorned with ice crystals, lightly tapped on the table. The spilled Salt Grains suddenly hovered into a Twelve Zodiac Chart formation. "Luna has been talking about the Moonlight Rose Cake from Magic Castle these past few days..." Her tone subtly lifted as she watched her daughter poke at the Salt Grain constellation with a drool-covered Teething Stick. "She’s thinking about not being able to eat Snow Rabbit Pudding."
The Warm Pavilion was suddenly filled with laughter that sounded like shattering Crystal Wind Chimes.
Brother San leaned against a Gilded Column, tossing and catching an Ice Spirit Stone. Each time the stone fell, it startled the Magic Light Dots in the steam of the teapot.
Leonard's fingers, gripping the Bone China Cup, turned pale as the Bing Hua condensed on the Cup Rim spread at an unnatural speed for the season.
"The study has a new Phantom Hourglass," said his elder brother, Wheelchair, as Frost Flowers bloomed where he rolled. An Ice Butterfly landed on his open Palm. "Shall Father take a look at the frozen Northern Lights inside the hourglass?"
As the Dark Cloak swept through the Light and Shadow cast by the tea kettle, a rustling sound of some Thorn growing flitted through the chandelier.
Before turning, Leonard glanced down at Aelia. The Light Spot reflected from his Gilded Wristguard swept across the lady's drooping eyelashes—those ice crystals were colder than moonlight.
"Go ahead." Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the Ice Rose in Luna's hair, and the petals suddenly unfurled beneath her fingertip into the shape of a Peacock Feather. "After all, that hourglass..." When she lifted her gaze, the twelve zodiac signs frozen in the chandelier simultaneously opened their Pupils. "It records the rise and fall of the Magic Castle over a century."
Luna's Teething Stick clanged against the Golden Handrail of the spiral staircase.
The baby blew out a stream of Gold Dust bubbles toward Father's receding figure, one bubble bursting against the Thorn Dark Pattern of the Dark Cloak, exploding into a Magic Ripple that burned a rose-shaped Scorch Mark into the Fabric.
"The little glutton is quite skilled at pretending to be sick." Qin Si pinched Luna's chubby cheek, luring her to look outside at an Ice Crystal Sparrow with crumbs from a muffin. "Who was it that cried awake after dreaming of Honey Cake last time?"
A clear sound of Crystal Vessels clinking suddenly came from the direction of the Warm Pavilion.
Second Brother poked his head out from the spiral staircase with half a muffin in hand, his sleeve adorned with Counterspell Magic Patterns smeared with suspicious Sugar Coating. "Isn't Father’s study barrier too bright? I can see Aurora penetrating through three layers of Defensive Formation from the attic..."
As Aelia's Star Diamond-embellished Skirt swept through the Halo cast by the tea kettle, all twelve chandeliers suddenly dimmed for an instant.
She took Luna from Qin Si’s arms, and the ice crystals forming in the baby's silver hair suddenly reflected the Magic Rune dancing on the Window Lattice of the study—clearly some ancient Blood Contract Pattern.
"Mother..." Luna suddenly poked her chubby Palm with her Teething Stick and squeezed out words in a Baby Voice accompanied by sounds of ice crystals colliding: "The roses on Father... they bite..."
The Steam from the tea kettle condensed into Bing Hua and suddenly exploded before Aelia's brow.
She stroked her daughter's reclosed Ice Rose in her hair, watching as the chandelier's Halo flowed into shapes of Blood Pact Magic Patterns on the Gilded Floor Tiles.
Outside the window, the Residual Shadow of the Magic Broomstick swept by, startling the Azure Tail Sparrow resting on the Ice Sculpture in the fountain.
As the Roar of the Phantom Hourglass echoed through the study, Luna was soundly asleep, clutching Aelia's silver chain.
The ice crystals that formed on the baby’s eyelashes reflected the scrutinizing gaze of Mother, like embers sleeping in a cold pool, ready to awaken.
When steam from the teapot condensed into a Hexagonal Ice Crystal between Aelia's brows, Luna's Teething Stick suddenly emitted a crisp sound reminiscent of Feng Ling.
The Ice Rose among the baby’s silver hair suddenly bloomed, and the Magic Light Spot emerging on its petals formed intricate patterns resembling Lady Eileen's Bedroom carvings.
"Mother, look!" Luna exclaimed, poking at the shattered ice crystals with her finger stained with milk. The floating fragments transformed into two entwined silhouettes—Gilded Wristguard and Black Rose's Dark Pattern stung Aelia's eyes.
The Moonlight Rose Tea accidentally knocked over by Brother San left dark stains on the Cashmere Carpet, and amidst the rising tea mist, a vision of Black Rose's Separate Courtyard deep within the Cedar Forest emerged.
The Magic Vine on Patch suddenly grew wildly, its verdant tendrils crushing the Liujin decorations of the spinning Spiral Staircase Railing.
Brother’s wheelchair rolled over the mess, and crystalline powder falling from Ice Butterfly Wings coalesced on the Ground into remnants of a Blood Contract: "Father is raising a Magic Blood Servant in Northwest Tower?"
"Not just that." Luna suddenly blew bubbles wrapped in Gold Dust, one of which burst against Second Brother's sleeve where Counterspell Magic Pattern resided.
At that moment, as the Magic Ripple spread out, everyone saw a Contract Fragment transform into a Rose Thorn piercing Leonard's Neck, leaving behind a clear mark of the Twinborn Pact.
Aelia's Skirt adorned with Star Diamonds began to flutter without wind, and twelve Ice Crystal Chandeliers' Halos crystallized beneath her feet into the shape of a Thorned Cage.
When Liujin Tehui emitted a mournful Zhen Chan, Luna's Chubby Palm pressed against Mother’s Heart, causing the Ice Rose's Root System to penetrate through Cloth and bloom a Guardian Magic Pattern on her skin.
"Three Months Ago, Father sent a message to Lady Eileen via Snowy Owl." The voice of the baby echoed with the crisp sounds of ice crystals colliding. The Bing Hua on Warm Pavilion’s Window Lattice suddenly reflected the contents of a Secret Letter—"At Magic Castle during Blood Moon Festival, Thorned Rose will devour the silver moon."
The muffin crumbs that fell from Second Brother’s sleeve suddenly floated into a Magic Circle Diagram. His fingertip coated in Sugar Coating trembled as he pointed at one of the runes: "This is... a variant of the Forbidden Soul Devouring Array!" A parchment flew out from a pile of scrolls and unfolded itself; the ink on Defensive Formation Diagram perfectly matched with the floating crumbs.
Brother San stumbled against a Gilded Column as Magic Vine emerged from his Patch, dyeing its withered patterns an Emerald Color. "No wonder my magic cycle always goes out of control during full moons..." The young man tore open his collar, revealing a Blood Rose emerging from his Heart where Dark Injury lay—a resemblance to Leonard's Neck. "The Heartstone Father gave me..."
Luna suddenly let out a sob like a little beast, her silver hair gathering into an ice rose bud.
Aelia's fingertip condensed into an ice blade that sliced through the void, and from the tear in reality fell half a magic crystal stone engraved with a thorn pattern—originating from the same source as Brother San's dark injury and its magical fluctuation.
"Did he use his offspring as nourishment?" The armrest of the wheelchair was deformed under the grip of my elder brother, while the wings of the ice butterfly suddenly reflected a star map showing the path of the magic fortress leyline.
Everyone gasped in shock—at the Earth Vein Core, a halo flashed that matched Leonard's Xuanbing Bracers.
The warm pavilion's crystal wind chimes shattered in unison, and an ice crystal sparrow burst through the stained glass to enter.
Luna reached out to grab the largest shard of glass, and in her infant pupil was reflected Lady Eileen's separate courtyard underground chamber—twelve ice coffins arranged in a shattered moon formation, each coffin adorned with a Liujin plaque engraved with the name of a magic castle heir.
"So my magic backlash..." My elder brother turned his wheelchair over the floating phantom of the plaques, and the ice butterfly suddenly exploded into misty stardust. "Is it because Father drew away the guardian magic pattern during the blood moon ceremony?"
The star diamond on Aelia's skirt suddenly erupted with blinding light, while the thorn light and shadow on the gilded floor tiles emitted a hissing sound as they melted.
When Luna's teething stick rolled to Mother’s feet, she suddenly spoke in a voice as pure as Chuxue: "Mother, the ice spirit stone from your necklace was supposed to be embedded in the tip of the magic castle's Zhenhun Tower, right?"
Qin Si’s silver tea tray suddenly fell to the ground, shattering into bone china pieces that formed a fragmented magic castle structure diagram on the ground.
Everyone clearly saw the location symbolizing Zhenhun Tower, now covered by a blood rose totem—identical to Leonard's cloak adorned with dark patterns.
"Three days ago, Brother Lucius gave me ice crystal candy..." Luna suddenly expelled a bubble wrapped in black mist. When it burst, it released a decaying aura that caused the magic vine to wither.
The counterspell magic pattern on Second Brother’s sleeve suddenly ignited, as gold foil runes reassembled into a warning spell amidst the ashes.
Aelia’s fingertip brushed against her daughter’s hair where an ice rose had bloomed anew; petals trembled and fell away to form a magic mirror.
In the mirror appeared Lucius standing with his back to the magic castle library. The remnants of ancient texts he held in hand revealed pages depicting Liujin magic patterns identical to Leonard's Xuanbing Bracers.
As the last ice crystal lamp in the warm pavilion extinguished, Luna’s breath carrying a hint of milk fragrance brushed past Mother’s ear: "Brother Lucius’s grimoire... has the scent of blood rose..." The ice crystals on her eyelashes suddenly reflected a gilded emblem on an ancient book cover—a rose entwined with thorns slowly opening its crimson pupil.
Aelia's Ice Rose suddenly closed its petals, and the mirror-like surface shattered into ice crystals that fell like rain.
She gently placed Luna into Qin Si's arms, and as her skirt swept across the ground covered in stardust, a dark red Thorned Totem emerged from the gilded floor tiles.
"Lucius." The lady raised her hand to smooth her tousled hair, the light spots refracted by her Ice Crystal Earrings landing perfectly in the shadow of the spiral staircase. "Take Luna to the greenhouse to see the Ice Crystal Butterfly."
As Third Young Master Lucius stepped out from the shadows, the gilded emblem on his cuff glimmered with an eerie halo under the moonlight.
The moment he took the swaddled baby, fine ice shards suddenly formed in Luna's silver hair, and her chubby little hand slapped against his neck—where a rose tattoo was quietly emerging, seeping crimson light spots.
"Brother Lucius's book..." The baby suddenly let out a lullaby voice wrapped in ice crystals, twisting into an unruly ball of silver threads in the young man's stiff embrace. "There’s a cry of Blood Rose."
The crystal chandelier in the Warm Pavilion suddenly exploded with cracks.
As Lucius tried to wrap Luna in his cloak, she unexpectedly grabbed his Family Crest Necklace—silver chains embedded with Ice Spirit Stone ignited with azure blue flames, scorching the Liujin Rose Emblem to a charred black.
"The Third Young Master's magic cycle..." Aelia suddenly turned around, and the stardust that fell from her skirt coalesced into a Magic Circuit Diagram in midair.
Everyone gasped—the core of what should have been flowing with Silver Moon Magic Pattern was instead entwined with a Thorn Blood Curse identical to Leonard's.
A sharp sound of shattering crystal came from the direction of the greenhouse.
Luna tugged at Lucius's collar and expelled a Rainbow Bubble; one bubble burst against the Liuli Dome in the greenhouse, refracting a seven-colored halo that surprisingly formed a Forbidden Technique array remnant on the ground.
The White Robed Mentor rushed over, using his wand to lift the remnants of shattered glass. The cedar wood staff suddenly became covered in scarlet patterns.
"The parasite of the Twinborn Pact!" The Old Mentor's eagle-feather cloak fluttered without wind as he pointed with his fingertip, stained with magical potion, toward Lucius and Mei Xin. "Child, do you always find blood fragrance emanating from ancient texts you study during full moons?"
Brother San suddenly burst through the carved door of the greenhouse, and magic vines emerging from his patch were dyeing his silver hair an emerald color.
The boy tore open his collar to reveal his heart and dark injury; there, a Rose Totem was emerging that resonated with the scarlet patterns on his mentor's wand. "My Elemental Perception is chaotic... Is it because..."
"Your water element affinity has been altered to wood by the Blood Rose." The Old Mentor's magic suddenly blossomed into an Ice Crystal Rose, its petals fluttering down towards Brother San's Heart. "Someone used a Forbidden Technique to graft your Magic Source onto the Shattered Moon Formation—look at the withered patterns on this Magic Vine!"
Luna suddenly let out a sob like a Little Beast in Lucius's arms.
Amidst her silvery hair, the Ice Rose bloomed abruptly, its petals falling onto Brother San's Dark Injury, miraculously restoring the Emerald Color of the Magic Vine back to a pure Ice Blue.
Aelia's Fingertip condensed into an Ice Blade, suddenly turning towards Lucius. "Where did your Father put the Magic Pattern Atlas?"
The temperature in the greenhouse dropped sharply, and the Ice Crystal Butterflies on the Crystal Flower Stand began to flutter collectively.
As Lucius stepped back, he accidentally shattered the floating array Remnant. The Family Crest Necklace erupted with Thorn-Shaped Blood-red Light. "In... in the Library of Hidden Books, Dark Compartment..."
"Not the Dark Compartment." Luna suddenly poked a Gold Dust bubble with her Teething Stick, bursting it and revealing an illusion of the study's secret chamber—an ancient book with Liujin's cover lay quietly on Leonard's Snow Wolf Fur Armchair, "In Father's Blood Pact Eye."
The Star Diamonds on Aelia's Skirt suddenly extinguished simultaneously.
She raised her hand to catch an Ice Crystal Butterfly that fell from the Dome, noticing that the Magic Patterns on its wings were strikingly similar to Brother San's Heart and Dark Injury.
When the sound of a Magic Broomstick slicing through the air came from the direction of the Warm Pavilion, the lady stumbled and leaned against the Crystal Flower Stand. Her Fingertip brushed through Luna's hair where the Ice Rose rested, trembling ever so slightly.
"Mother, look!" Luna suddenly grabbed Aelia's Ice Crystal Earrings, her infant pupils reflecting the cracks in the greenhouse's Liuli Dome—moonlight seeping through had taken on the shape of a Blood Rose.
The Ice Crystal Butterflies collectively surged towards the crack, transforming into Powder at the moment of impact. In the swirling Jing Chen, an image of the Magic Castle Hall's Dome emerged along with its Celestial Chart and Residual Shadow.
Aelia's Ice Rose Earrings emitted a buzzing Zhen Chan.
As the last fragment of Jing Chen dissipated, the lady lowered her gaze to Luna, who was peacefully asleep in her arms. She noticed that the ice crystals forming on the baby's eyelashes reflected her own silver chain around her neck—the Ice Spirit Stone that should have been embedded at the tip of Zhenhun Tower now glowed ominously with a Dark Red Halo heralding a blood moon.
