The assembled blood array cast an eerie red glow on the Window Lattice, as the Thorn Pattern on Aelia's Ice Wings deepened with the frequency of Resonance.
She trembled as she raised the blood-stained Wedding Ring to her eyes, the scent of Rotten Rose flowing from the cracks of the moonstone overlapping with the aroma that had clung to Leonard's cloak during the Holy Spring Festival three years ago.
"Do you remember that night at Lucius's Full Moon Feast?" Luna suddenly uttered in a blurred Baby Language, her body curled in Qin Si's arms glowing with a pearlescent light.
Ice crystals fell from the baby’s eyelashes, condensing at Aelia's feet into a Magical Projection—there stood Leonard in a dark cloak, using the Star Oath's engraved key to unlock the Crypt passageway.
Aelia's Ice Wings abruptly folded, crushing the falling ice crystals: "The Star Key was forged into Lucius's Life Lock three years ago!" She almost caressed the date etched inside the Wedding Ring, an eternal vow inscribed by Leonard himself.
Yet the reflection of Leonard's Last Night continued: at the altar at the end of the passageway, three hundred Silver-Haired Women sleeping in Crystal Coffins simultaneously raised their left hands, adorned with Shattered Crystals of moonstone, akin to Aelia's Wedding Ring.
Luna suddenly coughed violently, expelling an Ice Shard wrapped in black mist.
Qin Si hurriedly wiped it with a swaddling cloth embroidered with the Ice Wing Tribe totem; as the Fabric touched the black mist, it unexpectedly emerged with images of Leonard entwined with Leonard's Concubine. "Is this... a fragment of the Frost Whisper Magic Mirror?" Aelia’s Fingertip formed an ice spike to pierce through the illusion, but when she saw the Hexagram Birthmark on the woman's collarbone, it struck her like lightning—that was indeed the mark she had transferred to her "dead" Twin Sisters using Forbidden Technique to protect Leonard years ago.
"Father meditates every full moon in his study; he actually uses Earth Vein Teleportation Array..." Luna’s voice was suddenly swallowed by Blood Moonlight.
The butterfly-wing blood array on the Window Lattice abruptly contracted, squeezing ancient Zhuan Shi patterns resembling Dragon Scales out of the Magic Castle's Outer Wall.
Aelia suddenly spread her Ice Wings to shield the baby; twelve Ice Spikes automatically formed a Defensive Formation but let out a mournful cry like lovers whispering when they touched the moonlight.
Countless Memory Fragments surged into Lady of the Fortress's Mind Sea.
She recalled her wedding night when Leonard placed the Moonstone Ring on her finger; her Fingertip had flashed with the same black mold. She remembered that night when their Eldest Son suffered from Magic Backlash, and her husband's cloak hem had been stained with Iris Pollen identical to that in the Outer Courtyard. More alarmingly, she realized that after every family crisis, her husband's magical power would inexplicably strengthen—those powers that should have belonged to Star Oath were now leaking continuously through the Thorn Pattern on her Ice Wings.
"Why reveal it now?" Aelia suddenly pinched Luna's Swaddling, the Thorn on her Ice Wings piercing her Palm.
Blood dripped onto the Starry Brand carpet, transforming into the Moonlight Butterflies that had danced at her wedding long ago. "Isn't it more in line with the prophecy to let me guard this false happiness until the Magic Castle collapses?"
Luna unexpectedly grasped her bloodied fingers with a strength uncharacteristic of an infant.
The girl’s Palm emerged from the Great Mage's Sealing Array, forcefully extracting the black mist that was invading Aelia's heart. "Because this full moon, the three hundred 'sisters' in the Crypt are about to awaken." Each word she spoke carried the frost of an Ancient Incantation, and suddenly a sound of friction came from the Magic Castle Dome as the Crystal Coffin lid shifted.
Aelia staggered back against the wall, the Thorn on her Ice Wings automatically piercing into the Wall.
She watched as the liquid flowing within the Moonstone Ring gradually turned a purplish-red, suddenly recalling the night twenty years ago when the Ice Wing Tribe was annihilated—those bodies drained of blood also exuded the same scent of Rotten Rose.
The date inside her Wedding Ring began to twist and rearrange, ultimately settling on the death anniversary of her Twin Sisters.
The Moonlight Butterfly blood array suddenly screeched, and three hundred beams of Silver Light pierced through the Magic Castle, shooting straight into the Crypt.
Aelia’s Thorn Pattern on her Ice Wings began to grow in reverse, slowly pushing back the Brand of Star Oath along Leonard's Magic Trajectory.
She wiped away the Bing Lei that had crystallized at her eyes, allowing ice crystals that fell from her hair to piece together the lost Astrological Array of the Ice Wing Tribe on the Ground—when the last stroke of the Formation Diagram was activated by moonlight, Lady of the Fortress heard the sound of half a heart belonging to her Twin Sisters, which she had sealed away years ago, beginning to beat again within a Crystal Coffin.
Aelia's Ice Wings refracted prism-like shards under the moonlight, each feather reflecting three hundred faces resembling her own within the Crystal Coffin.
The death anniversary inscribed inside her Wedding Ring suddenly ignited with heat. She pressed her bloodied Palm against the center of the Ice Crystal Astrological Array; what flowed from her pierced wound was no longer bright red blood but an Ice Blue Liquid shimmering with Star Sand—an omen of awakening for the royal lineage of the Ice Wing Tribe.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly tore open the swaddling of Tie, revealing the Ice Wing Tribe totem on Luna's back.
The silver light flowing beneath the infant's skin resonated with Aelia's Ice Wings, forming a closed loop of the Starlight Power that had been stolen by Leonard between the two of them.
The shattered Moonlight Butterfly and Canary Wing suddenly floated and reassembled, piecing together the long-lost Star Chart of the Ice Wing Tribe within the Dome.
Aelia's fingertip brushed against the frost flowers that had condensed along the edge of the Astrological Array, and the phantom of the two sisters chasing each other on the Ice Field twenty years ago suddenly became clear.
She finally understood why Leonard always kissed her left hand's wedding ring on full moon nights—he was not reinforcing the Star Oath but using the moonstone as a conduit to continuously siphon her sealed bloodline from the royal family.
"The fragments of the Frost Whisper Magic Mirror should still be sealed in the family tomb." Aelia's Ice Wings suddenly unfurled to their maximum extent, freezing the entire Crystal Window into an ice wall.
She bit her tongue and drew the Ice Wing Tribe Sacrificial Talisman in the void. The Starry Brand that had been altered by Leonard began to flow in reverse. "Since he diluted my power with three hundred containers, let these mirrors become conduits for backlash."
Luna suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, her pupils transforming into icy whirlpools.
Her chubby palm struck a spot on the Star Chart, perfectly illuminating the taboo node of "Twin Reversal" from Ice Wing Tribe legend.
From the direction of the crypt came a series of ice crackling sounds, as three hundred crystal coffins simultaneously emerged with Aelia's sisters' Xu Ying.
As Aelia picked up Luna and walked toward the secret chamber, the infant suddenly blinked at a Moonlight Butterfly and Canary Wing in the corner of the wall.
The fragments stained with Iris Pollen quietly gathered towards a vent, piecing together a winding path of glowing light through the stone crevices, leading to a hidden door on the castle's west side—where remnants of the Ice Wing Tribe Guardian Barrier resonated subtly with the totem on Luna's swaddling.
