The Ice Crystal Necklace emitted a buzzing sound as Aelia looked down, meeting the bright pupils of the baby.
Bubbles burst on the surface of the Sapphire, and the reflections created a mirage that made her stagger as she leaned against the Carved Pillars—Leonard was kissing the Blonde Woman in the rose garden, their moment captured in the colorful film of the bubbles.
"This can't be..." Aelia's fingertip pierced her palm, and Frost Magic spiraled out of control, blooming Frost Flowers across her skirt.
Luna, anxious, pounded her small fists against the swaddling blanket. Suddenly, her milk-stained gums clamped down on the Moonstone Necklace, causing the Sapphire to crack open with a snap, revealing a Pocket Watch engraved with an Azure Rose Totem.
Lucius's bloodied lens flashed with a red glow. "Mother! This is a secured Magic Artifact from Father's Study!"
As Aelia trembled while channeling her magic, the Pocket Watch Gear suddenly reversed its rotation, spitting out a yellowed Magic Contract.
In the lower right corner of the Contract, beside Leonard's Soul Imprint, two overlapping lip prints were clearly visible—belonging to an omega with the scent of Nightingale Flowers.
The entire castle let out a mournful wail as Luna kicked her legs like those of a small creature, pushing the bubble towards her brothers.
The Amethyst on the armrest of her eldest brother's wheelchair collided with the bubble, and the resulting Magic Ripple temporarily suppressed the chaotic backlash energy within him.
His pale fingers gripped his brother's wrist. "Mother, we will accompany you to seek justice."
The Celestial Chart in the Council Chamber Dome was warping. As Leonard shattered the eighth crystal ball, Aelia's Ice Crystal Boots crushed debris underfoot.
She flung the Contract at her husband's face, and an Ice Spike instantly froze his feeble attempts at justification.
"Let me explain; that omega was just..."
"Just helping you nurture Dragon Blood toxins?" Aelia's cold laughter caused runes from the Guardian Array on the wall to fall like leaves. She formed an Ice Blade at her fingertip and pressed it against her husband's throat. "Three years ago you said you needed to seclude yourself for alchemy; turns out you were concocting an illegitimate child!"
Luna suddenly let out a sharp cry, and the Crystal Bottle vibrating in Second Brother's arms exploded in response.
From within the faint purple smoke emerged Leonard's Last Night—the Blonde Woman was holding a boy who bore a striking resemblance to Leonard. The child’s neck was adorned with a Dragon Scale Amulet, a treasure only heirs of the Magic Castle possessed.
"Father actually gave the Amulet to his Concubine!" Brother San's Elemental Compass at his waist suddenly burst forth with strong light, and long-abandoned Magic Circuits flowed around him.
The eldest brother's wheelchair rolled over the scattered ice shards, and the backlash from the Hei Ban crawled up Luna's neck. "Do you still remember the day I awakened my Dragonborn Bloodline at twelve? You said the Amulet would be passed to the most outstanding child."
Leonard stumbled backward, knocking over the Astrolabe, its copper rings suddenly ensnaring his wrist.
In the new bubble that Luna exhaled, his words spoken during a secret meeting with his lover were reflected: "Once I obtain Aelia's Ice Spirit heart, I'll make Lucas the Heir..."
The Lens in Lucius's hand suddenly ignited, and the pain in his left eye transformed into blood-red tear streaks. "So it turns out that on the night I awakened my observational talent at eight, the Bloody Smell wafting from your study was not an illusion." The Lens revealed a scene from that year—a trusted aide holding a Silver Plate containing his twin brother's eye, covered in curses.
The entire castle tilted at a thirty-five-degree angle under the violent Magic Shockwave, and Aelia's Ice Crystal Crown cracked with spiderweb-like fractures.
As she raised her hand to deliver a final blow to Leonard, Luna suddenly emitted a Loud Cry filled with magical vibrations, forcibly drawing Mother toward the window—Shuang Yue's overlapping Xu Ying was projecting a complete Soul Devouring Array disassembly diagram through the Stained Glass onto the Wall Tile.
"Mother!" The simultaneous exclamations of her three sons echoed.
The amethyst embedded in the wheelchair armrest of the eldest brother, the Space Scroll hidden in Second Brother's cuff, and Brother San's Elemental Compass at his waist resonated simultaneously, three Magic Beams striking precisely at the three array points marked by Luna's saliva.
Amidst the earth-shaking turmoil, Aelia held Luna tightly as they retreated behind the Ice Crystal Barrier.
She cast one last glance at her husband, her gaze colder than the Millennium Ice that was peeling away.
As the castle regained its balance amidst a roar, the Celestial Chart in the Council Chamber Dome had transformed into a blood moon hanging high above. Meanwhile, faint sounds of shattering porcelain echoed from deep within the corridor—the Rose Greenhouse belonging to the Lady of the Fortress was collapsing into Ice Crystal Dust.
Qin Si had just touched a Sapphire Fragment when Ailya, adorned with Hemostasis Spell embroidery, suddenly felt a jolt in her fingertip.
Moonlight slanted through the Stained Glass at the corridor's corner, where fine red lines like hair were moving within fragments, resembling blood seeping from a Soul Imprint on a Contract Document.
"Madam, beware of Han Qi invading your body." She gently draped her cloak embroidered with Calming Spell over Aelia's shoulders, causing the Snow Ferret fur along its edges to tremble with residual magic energy.
The Magic Turbulence caused by the castle's tilt had yet to subside; ice crystals seeping from wall crevices were growing wildly along Relief vines.
Suddenly, Luna in Aelia's arms let out a Lactation Burp as her little legs kicked against the swaddling.
The infant's tiny feet pressed against the Embroidered Shoes of the cloak, and the petals, stitched with silver threads, glimmered with a Red Glow.
Qin Si's pupils constricted—ten years ago, when Aelia rescued her from the slave market, it was this very cloak that bore the bloodstains infused with Iris and Cedar Fragrance.
"Send the Contract Astrolabe to the Ice Cellar for safekeeping." Aelia's voice was as cold as tempered iron. As she handed Luna over to the arriving Nurse, a pattern resembling Emerging Dragon Scales suddenly appeared on the infant's neck.
Qin Si noticed that the lady's fingertip trembled as it brushed over the Dragon Scale Pattern, precisely where Ailina's Burn had been last night while changing clothes for the Lord.
As Blood Moonlight soaked into the Astrology Platform, Lucius's Left Eye Lens began to heat up.
He removed one side of his gold-framed glasses, and the fragmented pupil reflected the overlapping Yue Lun in the sky—the darker moon was covered in Web-like Cracks, reminiscent of Mother’s shattered Ice Crystal Crown.
"Third Young Master, news has come from the North Tower..." The Knight's report was abruptly interrupted by the suddenly vibrating Elemental Compass.
The Compass Needle spun wildly before finally settling on the direction marked by a Dragon Head Totem.
The moment Lucius touched Leonard's Sword at his waist, the Lens unexpectedly displayed Leonard's Last Night from Eighteen Years Ago: Father stood in the Blood Sacrifice array holding two swaddled infants, while the stabbing pain in his Right Eye synchronized with the Loud Cry of the baby in the mirror.
He staggered against the stone railing, his palm cut by ice crystals oozing Blue Blood.
As a Blood Pearl dripped onto the Lens, the distorted image of Leonard's Last Night suddenly became clear—his adult self stood before a Burning castle, stepping on a Pocket Watch Remains imprinted with an Azure Rose Totem.
When the magical freezer in the Cellar emitted an unusual hum from Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum, the Head Chef’s son was sneaking sips of Honeyed Wine.
With bleary eyes, he watched as the Wine Liquid spun counterclockwise in his oak cup; suddenly, all the hanging cured meats burst open with Spider Web-like frost.
"Damn it!" The boy smashed his wine cup, realizing that the splattering liquid formed tiny ice spikes in mid-air.
As he tumbled out of the Cellar, he collided with Qin Si, who was passing by while holding a Contract Scroll.
The Hemostasis Spell on Maid Xiu Xie suddenly glowed red, scorching away the strange frost clinging to the boy’s pant legs into Qing Yan.
Aelia stood alone in the Ice Crystal Flower Chamber, the moonlight from the Dome casting its glow on the spot where Luna played during the day.
The shattered Crown Fragment trembled in her palm, and as Han Shuang spread through her fingers to her wrist, a sudden double shadow was cast by the Ice Spike in the corner—one was a Noblewoman holding a baby, while the other was a Queen grasping a Scepter.
Luna's loud cry pierced through three stone walls, carrying a special frequency of Magic Resonance.
Aelia abruptly turned around; the pattern outlined by the moonlight on the Ice Surface was no longer the Soul Devouring Array, but rather the Ice Saint Sword Emblem used by the First Generation Fortress Master to slay the evil dragon.
At that moment, the door of the Ice Crystal Flower Chamber swung open with the night wind, and snowflakes carrying Iris and Cedar Fragrance rushed in. One flake landed on her fingertip stained with Blue Blood, instantly blooming into a glowing Ice Rose.
The Han Qi of the Ice Crystal Flower Chamber crystallized into Frost Flowers on Aelia's eyelashes. Her palm, gripping the Crown Fragment, oozed Blue Blood that seeped into the ground along the patterns of the Ice Rose.
When the Emblem of the Ice Saint Sword suddenly emitted a hum, an entire ice wall reflected a scene from eighteen years ago—the wedding where Leonard placed the Ice Crystal Crown upon her head, his fingertip brushing against her neck where blood now flowed.
"So it was planted back then... a Blood Pact..." Aelia's Ice Blade sliced through her fingertip, drawing a Dispel Rune at the center of the Emblem.
The Ice Surface suddenly emerged with dense Mama's Silver Thread, connecting various parts of the castle. At that moment, thirty percent of it flowed toward the North Tower.
Luna's loud cry wrapped in magical Zhen Chan pierced through stone walls. As Aelia turned, her cloak swept away twelve Ice Spikes.
The fallen ice crystals suddenly floated into a Blood Arrow shape, all pointing towards a hidden door leading to the Ice Cellar—where Leonard's signed Contract and Astrolabe were sealed away.
"Madam!" Qin Si caught up with a lamp in hand just as Hemostasis Spell on Xiu Xie clashed violently with Frost Magic beneath Peacock Stone Tiles.
The Emerald Box she held suddenly cracked open, revealing half of a blood-stained Infant Swaddling—precisely what Leonard claimed he would use to purify evil spirits on that fateful night ten years ago when Aelia faced complications during childbirth.
Aelia's pupils constricted sharply.
The Ice Crystal Arrow cluster suddenly changed direction, pinning the Emerald Box against a Pillar.
Rolling out from the swaddling was the Xuan Tie Key, stained with her Blue Blood, perfectly fitting into the lock of the Ice Cellar door.
As the sound of gears turning from the Lock Core echoed with a Click, Luna's Loud Cry suddenly transformed into a muffled Yiya Sound. The baby, clutching Qin Si Hem's small hand, emitted a faint Purple Light.
When Lucius, reeking of Blood Stench, burst through the Colored Window into the corridor, the Lens revealed a horrifying sight deep within the Ice Cellar: seven Zhenhun Lanterns encircled a Crystal Coffin, within which floated the lifeless form of Aelia's long-deceased twin daughter.
The baby's Heart was pierced by an Ice Spike, identical to the decoration atop Leonard's Staff.
"Watch out for the Contract Backlash, Mother!" He hurled an Observation Mirror into the air, which shattered into Xing Mang. The remnants of the Lens unexpectedly formed a Prophecy Poem on the Ice Surface: "When the Shuang Yue devours the heart, the Ice Spirit reflects the Black Rose."
As soon as Aelia's Ice Blade touched the Crystal Coffin, the Coffin Lid Emerging revealed Leonard's Soul Imprint, with those greedy Golden Runes absorbing her dissipating magic.
Suddenly, Luna struggled violently in Qin Si's arms, her fist, stained with Milk Stain, pounding against her own chest.
The emerging Dragon Scale Pattern on the baby's Heart perfectly overlapped with the fatal wound of the infant in the coffin. Amidst the exploding golden light, fragments of the Ice Crystal Crown automatically assembled into a ring, absorbing all of Aelia's dissipating magic.
As the emblem of the Ice Saint Sword rose from the center of the ring, a deafening roar echoed from the collapsing structure of the North Tower.
The moment Aelia grasped the hilt of the sword, all seven Zhenhun Lanterns in the Ice Cellar exploded simultaneously. The binding Golden Runes, which had restrained her for years, receded like a retreating tide back into Leonard's Soul Imprint.
"It’s time to put an end to this." She swung her sword, severing the silver thread connecting her to the North Tower. As she turned, her Ice Crystal Boots crushed remnants of lamps scattered across the ground.
Luna suddenly fell silent, her grape-like eyes reflecting the light of the Ice Saint Sword. Deep within her pupils flowed a blue radiance that did not belong to an infant.
