As the Rainbow Light dissipated, the Eighteen Faced New Year Mirror reflected the first flake of midnight snow falling to usher in the new year.
Luna clutched the half-melted Starlight Dew, completely unaware that among the pieces of the Shadow Pact she had just torn apart, six were Leonard's substitutions using Illegitimate Bloodline to alter the Heir Restriction.
"The cold pine charcoal needs replenishing." Aelia’s Fingertip brushed against the frost on the armrest of the Throne, and the silver strands of the Snowdrop Crown fell, cutting tiny wounds on her Hand Back.
The matriarch's Holly Magic was supposed to warm the entire banquet hall, yet at that moment, strange clusters of Azure Blue Flame flickered from the fireplace—she hadn’t even realized that while using a Restoration Spell to tidy up her floral crown, she had inadvertently mixed in her husband’s Iris Sachet and last night’s Ashes into the Magic Element.
Leonard’s hand, reaching to assist his wife with her Pearl Crown, froze in mid-air.
Three meters away, beneath the Long Table, Lucius manipulated shadows to catch a dripping Honey Chestnut Cake, which reminded him of a silk handkerchief he had glimpsed last month in Father's Study, adorned with the same pattern.
"Have the kitchen send over some Lava Rice Wine." As his Wheelchair rolled over the remnants of a Star Trail in the gap between the floor tiles, his elder brother's cufflink—a Secret Silver Bell—suddenly emitted a piercing chime.
Three years ago, he had drawn a Teleportation Circle in the Extreme North Land, and now his image was prominently displayed on the most visible part of the Dome Magic Scroll. Yet, on the armrest of his wheelchair, his hand-carved Frost Rose could not even manage to hold onto the melting Cherry Ice Cream brought by a maid.
Suddenly, Luna waved her swaddled bundle, coated in Sugar Coating, towards the West Arch Window. The newly arrived Mirror Spirit Elder, startled by this innocent burst of Magical Fluctuation, revealed its form.
Taking advantage of this moment, Aelia injected her uncontrollable Holly Magic into the shattered mirror. The phantoms of the Twelve Rays Moonlight Bracelet immediately ensnared Leonard, who was attempting to hide a Communication Scroll in the Shadow Space.
"Father should cut the Shou Sui Cake now." The ice crystals shot from his second brother’s fingertip froze the spreading black mist beneath the throne just in time. The light refracted from the crystal chandelier sparkled in his pupils, perfectly masking the web-like blood veins left by a chessboard’s magical backlash on his eye whites.
As he elegantly sliced through the Raspberry Cream Cake using an Ice Shatter Technique he had created with his best friend three years ago, no one noticed that one corner of the embedded Magic Core was missing its seal.
Before the butler rang the third toll of the Magic Bell, an "accidental" spill from Qin Si’s hands released a Time Dilation Barrier from an alchemical pocket watch.
In this unnoticed moment in time, Lucius finally unraveled the hidden golden hair of an elf concealed within their father’s cufflink. Meanwhile, beneath his elder brother's wheelchair, ancient demon scripts quietly replaced the blood contract rune hidden on a cake knife belonging to Leonard.
As Luna fell asleep with her thumb in her mouth, all twelve rays of her moonlight bracelet suddenly fell to the ground.
As Aelia bent down to pick something up, a few strands of indigo magic residue from the Outsider Family were swept into the gap between the floor tiles, tinged gray by the snowdrop pollen she had shaken loose.
On the east side terrace of the banquet hall, Second Brother ran his fingers along the cracks at the edge of the ice crystal chessboard, remnants of a signature burned away by fierce flames still lingering there.
The night sky, purified by the firework array, was so clear that he could distinctly see three stars forming the triangle sealing array that his late friend had mastered.
The ice crystal chessboard on the east terrace shimmered with a cold light as Second Brother's long fingers traced the cracks on its edge.
When the afterglow of the firework array swept across the ice surface, three intersecting cracks suddenly refracted an eerie triangle light spot—this was precisely the core judgment array of the ice shatter technique he had once researched jointly with his friend Alger.
"I remember you said that a triangle is the most stable structure," he murmured as he infused ice crystals gathered at his fingertip into the fissure, causing the chessboard to erupt in a blinding blue light.
Three years ago, on the extreme north icefield, Alger had used this technique to draw a demon's seal onto him.
At this moment, within the emerging ice crystal illusion on the chessboard, his friend smiled while holding a glass of melted ice wine, still as warm and gentle as jade. Yet in reality, his right ring finger bore a lingering purple mark from ice drug corrosion.
The sudden eruption of cheers from the center of the banquet hall interrupted his memories.
Brother San leaned against the champagne tower, frost swirling at his fingertips transformed into twelve crystalline butterflies that danced around the guests.
As he pretended to be nonchalant while flicking shattered crystal butterflies into icy fireworks, a magic talent detection scroll hidden in his sleeve suddenly grew hot—this was the talent assessment document handed to him by an academy mentor three years ago, now mocking him for wasting a once-in-a-century aptitude for time-space magic.
"The Third Young Master's ice crystal shaping has become increasingly exquisite," came a compliment from a passing viscountess.
Brother San tugged at his collar embroidered with dark patterns, allowing his ice crystal earrings to sway against his cheek.
No one noticed that in the melting water beneath his feet reflected the image of his ancestors casting time-space magic from within a dome scroll, nor did anyone realize he quietly rewrote parts of the magic pattern on the base of the champagne tower using that melting water.
As Qin Si held the Cedar Essential Oil close to the Throne, Aelia's skirt brushed against the gap in the floor tiles, suddenly stirring up indigo light.
The Head Maid hurried forward to cast a Purification Spell, but was preempted by a Maid who swiftly threw out an Alchemical Pocket Watch.
In that moment when time seemed to freeze, Qin Si used a silver hairpin to lift the changing Magic Residue. The light gold Housekeeping Magic flowed along the hairpin, disguising the dangerous energy fluctuations as ordinary flickering candlelight.
"The lady needs some nectar," Qin Si said as she tucked away the pocket watch with remnants of past scars into her apron and presented a Crystal Bottle embedded with moonstone.
She always remembered that snowy night ten years ago when Aelia had saved her from a beast's injury using the same moonstone. The skirt, dusted with Snowdrop Pollen, had glimmered with a soft golden light.
Lucius paused at the edge of the dance floor, Shadow Threads cascading from his sleeves.
The Elven Golden Hair he had just retrieved from his father's cufflinks was stirring restlessly in a special container, while the feedback from the shadows indicated that there were seventeen abnormal spatial fluctuations throughout the banquet hall.
As he pretended to adjust his bow tie, a strand of shadow quietly wrapped around an ancestor's scepter decoration within the Dome Scroll—there, the lingering Guardian Magic resonated subtly with the Starry Patterns on Luna's Swaddling.
Suddenly, the Antique Clock in the Northwest Corner chimed loudly, and his brother turned his wheelchair towards the sound.
The Secret Silver Bell in his sleeve had been connected to a demon seal for three years now, and at that moment, Ling She’s vibrating frequency resonated with the Pendulum.
As everyone was drawn to the chime, he quickly pressed the Frost Rose on the Wheelchair Armrest against the ground—those Ancient Demon Scripts drawn with melted Cherry Ice Cream were flowing through the gap in the floor tiles towards the Black Fog Seal beneath the Throne.
Luna murmured indistinctly in her Baby Basket, her sugar-coated fists waving without awareness.
The shadow Contract Fragment she had just torn apart suddenly seeped from behind Shou Sui Jing, condensing into a Micro Star Map under the influence of Starlight Dew.
When a certain star suddenly fell towards the Castle West Wing, Lucius’s bow tie, which he was adjusting, turned towards that direction, and Shadow Threads quivered slightly as if sensing prey.
The seemingly tranquil New Year's Eve Feast had everyone guarding their secrets in their own way.
As the Twelve Rays and the Moonlight Bracelet returned to Aelia's wrist, a faint sound of shattering crystal echoed from somewhere in the castle, quickly drowned out by a new display of fireworks.
The Crystal Chandelier in the banquet hall dimmed three shades, and Lucius's Shadow Threads began to warm slightly at his cuffs.
He sidestepped a servant carrying Lava Rice Wine, the tails of his dark golden patterned tailcoat sweeping over the Peacock Stone Tiles embedded with Star Trails. The Magic Patterns that had once been crushed by a Wheelchair now glimmered with a sickly Indigo hue.
"Have you seen Luna's Nurse, Third Young Master?" The Head Maid blocked his path with a jar of Cedar Essential Oil in her hands.
Lucius flicked away the ice crystals that had formed on his cufflinks; his Shadow Threads were already reaching towards the Baby Basket—where the lingering Starlight Dew resonated with his magic.
"Perhaps she is verifying the Heirloom in Rose Hall." He took a step back with an appropriately polite smile, while shadows raced along the Dome Scroll's gilded Jin Wen path.
Three hours ago, the Elven Golden Hair that had been stripped from his father's cufflinks was contained in a special Container, and a magical frequency, akin to Xing Hui's, penetrated the banquet hall's Defensive Barrier.
Leonard steadied a staggering Noblewoman by the Champagne Tower, his cuff adorned with Guardian Stones brushing against her shoulder and neck.
When he caught the scent of Nightingale Flower perfume commonly worn by Leonard's Concubine, his Adams Apple rolled unnaturally. "Lady Aurora, be careful." He perfectly concealed his anxious glance towards the Side Door, where a Shadow Guard was supposed to stand to deliver a Secret Letter; instead, it now reflected Aurora's Shou Sui Jing.
A sudden explosion of Magical Fluctuation from the Castle Exterior caused all twelve Shou Sui Jing to resonate as Leonard's sword emitted a hum.
The ice crystal chess piece formed by Second Brother's fingertip fell into a crack on the chessboard; the Ice Drug implanted in him by his close friend three years ago suddenly pierced through its seal with pain.
He pressed down on his chest while adjusting his Bow Tie; within the illusion of ice crystals, Alger’s twisted smile as he sealed away demons bore an uncanny resemblance to his father's hypocritical posture as he adjusted the Crown.
"The Magic Pattern Defense Array has been triggered!" The butler's hoarse shout was drowned out by the sudden onset of Holly Carol.
The guests followed the humming of the Magical Instrument in confusion, unaware that the frost forming on Bard Qin Xian was tinged with Indigo—a magical pigment unique to the Outsider Family.
Lucius's Shadow Threads finally ensnared the edge of the Baby Basket.
Suddenly, the sleeping Luna rolled over, and the Starlight Dew that fell from her swaddling burned tiny Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes into the shadows.
His Pupil constricted sharply as the contents of the Secret Letter written in Elvish Language from Three Days Ago in Father's Study flashed in his mind—"The Awakener Xing Hui will tear the shadow curtain."
"Go check the West Wing and the Defensive Formation!" Leonard commanded sharply, as the Iris Pattern embroidered on his sleeve emitted a Magic Fluorescence.
Aelia's Moonlight Bracelet around her Wrist suddenly tightened. She gently laughed while stroking her reddened Wrist, "Why not let Lucius take Luna to the greenhouse for a while? The child needs some Sedative."
The Wheelchair crushed the indigo ice crystals seeping from the cracks in the Peacock Stone Tiles, while the Secret Silver Bell on his elder brother's sleeve emitted a muffled sound like a demon's whisper.
Using the motion of adjusting a blanket, he splashed melted water from Cherry Ice Cream, which concealed Ancient Demon Script, toward beneath the Throne.
When the Black Fog Seal briefly materialized, Luna suddenly let out a loud cry—the Micro Star Map formed by evaporating Starlight Dew perfectly enveloped the Frost Rose on the Wheelchair Armrest.
"I'll take my sister to rest," Lucius said as he wrapped her in Shadow Magic and lifted the Baby Basket.
Within the hidden clasp of his Bow Tie, Elven Golden Hair resonated strangely with Xing Hui.
The moment he stepped out of the banquet hall, a piece of Zhuan Shi marked with Shadow Pact on the Castle Outer Wall suddenly peeled away, revealing an Indigo matrix flowing with magic from an Illegitimate Bloodline.
Leonard stood at the edge of the terrace, gazing at the raging Wind and Snow, his cloak embroidered with Guardian Spell trembling slightly.
He hid in the micro Portrait of the Pocket Watch's Hidden Layer, and it suddenly grew hot—the image of an Outsider Woman cradling a baby, with strands of elven moonstone hair cascading down, reminiscent of the golden cufflinks.
The Banquet Hall Dome erupted with Twelve Rays of icy fireworks, igniting the Talent Detection Scroll concealed in Brother San's sleeve.
As Ashes fell upon the Champagne Tower's Base, the Magic Pattern he had secretly modified three years ago activated unexpectedly—at the moment the tower tilted, the melting champagne flowed along the Track he had preset towards the Sealing Eye beneath the Throne.
"Be careful!" Aelia's Holly Magic supported the Champagne Tower, but Snowdrop Pollen drifted into Luna's half-open eyes.
The Pupil of the baby glowed with an intense Xing Hui, and the swaddling in Lucius's arms became scalding hot.
As Shadow Threads automatically wove into a barrier, he caught sight of Luna's Palm and its fleeting Hexagram Birthmark—perfectly matching the great Mage Mark recorded in the Ancient Magic Codex.
A sharp sound of shattering crystal echoed from somewhere in the castle, but this time it was mixed with the Sobbing of an Icefield Wolf.
His elder brother turned his Wheelchair towards the source of the sound, and the demonic whispers from his sleeve transformed into piercing howls.
When his Frost Rose Seal began to loosen, Luna's unaware little hand pointed directly at a section of the Wheelchair's base that glimmered with Xing Hui, revealing a hidden Magic Pattern.
A violent Wind and Snow tore through the night sky as Xing Hui drifted from the Baby Basket, quietly seeping into the frost seal of the Wheelchair.
Lucius's grip on the Shadow Barrier suddenly paused—some form of transcendent Magic Resonance was flowing through his sister's Palm's Temperature deep into his Bloodline.
