The Crystal Chandelier refracted colorful rainbow light in the Dome, as Luna perched like a little squirrel on the velvet dining chair, her delicate fingers letting the magical croissant drop golden flakes. "Mother, why aren’t you eating?" The inquiry in her baby voice brought Aelia back to reality. She reached out to wipe the blueberry jam from her daughter’s mouth, and the Edelweiss that fell from her sleeve blossomed into an Ice Sculpture candlestick the moment it touched the table.
"Seeing Luna enjoy her meal so much, Mother is already full," Aelia said just as Qin Si brought over a steaming bowl of magical soup.
The maid, with stardust powder still clinging to her nose from the kitchen, teased, "Miss seems to want to sneak some snacks for Young Master. Last time that box of Moonlight Cream Puffs sprouted in your Cradle."
Luna's ears instantly turned rosy as she clutched the napkin and was about to wipe it on Qin Si's skirt.
Lucius promptly tapped his Silver Fork against the Crystal Cup, and the attendants immediately entered in formation carrying the Liujin Liang Jin Food Box. The floating magical pastries inside emitted a healing halo. "I added Snowy Dragon's Bane to the Chen Lu muffins prepared for Big Brother," Third Young Master Lucius said as he stamped the Guardian Sigil onto the Liang Jin Food Box, a curse swirling faintly revealing his wrist's residual Contract Magic Pattern.
When Qin Si entered with a Moonlight Rose gifted by the seventh guest, her eye sockets were already filled with tears.
This usually composed maid's voice trembled as she exclaimed, "Madam, look! These are Phantom Lilies of the Valley only found in Western Trade Caravans..." The dried flower hair ornament pinned in her hair suddenly sprouted branches; it was Luna who had quietly flicked away Revival Magic.
"Everyone, look!" Little Luna suddenly jumped onto the malachite dining table, three jumping pine nuts tumbling out of her fluffy skirt. "Our Flame Pudding sings Lullabies, and Frost Cheese can break curses!" Her chubby palm slapped against the edge of the Crystal Plate, and the entire Long Table transformed into a Liuguang Magic Fountain overflowing with colors, twenty-three types of desserts dancing a waltz within Lucius' Water Barrier.
The once quiet Dome restaurant was now filled with the cedar fragrance of magical food, and the line waiting outside had snaked all the way to Star Moon Lake Pier.
As Luna tiptoed to hand over chilled peach juice to the thirty-eighth guest, she suddenly reached out into thin air. "Brother San, catch!" The Liuli Cup that should have shattered froze mid-air into Bing Hua. Lucius' Wrist Chain Mark warmed slightly as he expertly caught every falling utensil.
As twilight descended, Aelia gazed blankly at the bustling restaurant.
The Crystal Lattice reflected the frost at her temples and also captured Qin Si's hesitant expression beside her.
When Luna directed a Magic Broomstick to deliver a gift to the last guest, a pot of Nightlight Fern that had wilted for three years in the corner suddenly sprouted a Bud—the very spirit plant planted when her elder brother received the title of Great Mage.
"Qin Si..." Aelia's fingertip brushed over the suddenly revitalized leaves. The moment her Emerald Ring touched the Bud, an unusual roar echoed from afar near the clock tower.
The maid, about to speak, suddenly covered her heart. The newly bloomed Phantom Lily of the Valley in her hair began to sway without any wind, producing a melody that was remarkably similar to the sound of Princess Charm.
As Luna approached with the remaining half of a croissant, Aelia had already risen to adjust her Peacock Blue Shawl.
Moonlight filtered through the Stained Glass, casting strange light spots at her feet. The shadows that should have formed an Iris Pattern were now eerily distorted into the outline of the Western Realm Envoy on a Secret Letter.
Aelia's fingertip lingered on the budding Nightlight Fern when Qin Si's Phantom Lily of the Valley suddenly emitted a tremor reminiscent of Qing Yue.
The maid, with shards of Magic Stardust clinging to her temples, was pulled behind a Rose-patterned Column by her mistress, still clutching the Golden Sparrow Coin given by a guest.
"The Secret Letter from the Western Realm Envoy last month..." Aelia lowered her voice as the Emerald Ring on Qin Si's palm triggered a Sealing Spell, which shattered into light spots upon touching the maid's fingertip.
She was astonished to discover that Qin Si's palm was emerging with an unfamiliar Star Moon Pattern, clearly a mark left after the Contract Magic Pattern had been released.
Unaware of this, Qin Si tossed the coin into the air, transforming it into a singing candy. "Look, just today's deposit is worth half a month's expenses for the castle!" The Lily of the Valley in her hair swayed with her laughter. "Who would have thought your skills from when you participated in the Magic Culinary Competition at sixteen would become the lifeline of the Magic Castle now?"
Outside the pillar, Luna was tiptoeing to draw a smiley face on Frost Cheese. The moment her Dining Knife poked the bottom of a crystal plate, the entire Long Table suddenly floated with a halo of light gold.
Little Luna hurriedly caught the Magic Muffin that nearly slipped away, only to see her hair tips' silver light shimmering in harmony with Qin Si's palm's Star Moon Pattern.
The Ice Magic originally meant to preserve food spread uncontrollably, freezing twenty-three Liuli Lanterns into a rotating music box.
"Mother, look!" As Luna turned around, she stepped on the lace edge of her fluffy skirt and stumbled. In that moment, her Magic Frosting unexpectedly formed an Ice Crystal Emblem pattern from three years ago when her elder brother competed.
She suddenly grasped at glowing fragments floating before her and spoke with unprecedented seriousness in her Lullaby Voice: "Big Brother's scent... like sun-dried pine needles."
Aelia's Peacock Blue Shawl tassels began to sway without wind, and distant bells from the clock tower rang out twice.
Just as she was about to speak, Lucius interrupted her. The boy's wrist bore a Contract Magic Pattern glowing ominously in dark red.
As his fingertip brushed against the "pine needle scent" that Luna had mentioned, the Nightlight Fern in the corner suddenly began to grow wildly. Vines intertwined in the Dome, forming the unique Evening Primrose patterns of Young Master's study.
"Third Young Master Lucius! The guests in the West Hall..." The servant's exclamation was drowned out by the Magic Resonance of Leonard's Sword Suddenly Emitted a Hum.
At that moment, the music box that Luna had previously frozen began to play. What should have been the tune of "Moonlight Serenade" eerily pieced together the rhythm of her elder brother's Wheelchair rolling down the corridor.
Little Luna's hidden Snowy Dragon's Bane suddenly sprouted, delicate tendrils wrapping around her Wrist, blooming a flower identical to the Phantom Lily of the Valley in Qin Si's hair at her pulse point.
Ripples suddenly appeared on Star Moon Lake in the Twilight, and the waiting guests gasped in astonishment.
A figure cloaked in mist stood at the end of the pier, with a Bronze Bell hanging from her Waist resonating with the Phantom Lily of the Valley, creating strange waves.
As Luna stood on tiptoe to refill magic red tea for the last table of guests, she happened to hear that person ask the maid in a Western Realm accent, "Sweetheart, could you help me send a Flame Pudding to Master Lucius?"
Startled, Luna turned abruptly, but the mist on the pier had already dissipated.
Only that voice, tinged with an exotic accent calling out "Lucius," fell softly like a honey-coated magical seed into her small pocket filled with countless secrets.
The night breeze brushed against the Lily of the Valley in her hair, hiding a vague Broken Syllables deep within its petals, as if waiting for the right moonlight to coax them into bloom.
