Luna curled up in Aelia's embrace, her fingertips glowing like the light spots of a firefly.
These light spots brushed against the Frost Rose's Shan Na, and the magical creation Aelia had used to test the barrier suddenly unfurled into Ice Crystal Vines, weaving a translucent cocoon around the Infant Swaddling.
"Don't devour Mommy's Magic Mark," Aelia said, gently nudging her daughter's head with her nose. The Laurel Leaf-patterned Cradle behind her emitted a soft hum, reminiscent of Leonard's Sword.
The Earth Vein Magic's Zhen Chan abruptly dissipated upon touching the Nursery's Door Frame, as if an invisible barrier had swallowed the roar echoing from deep within the castle.
As they passed through the Spiral Staircase, a beeswax-like substance began to form new Magic Patterns on the surface of the steps.
Aelia's skirt hem, embroidered with Xing Mang, brushed against the black Obsidian Relief, and those Ice Fire Lotus Patterns imprinted by Luna Ailya blossomed in succession, condensing the remaining Rainbow Mist in the Nursery into delicate snowflakes that drifted down.
Brother San leaned against the shadow of a second-floor Pillar, polishing a crystal ball. His fingertip was scorched by a suddenly illuminated Prophecy Rune.
"The Ancient Dragon Bones have awakened one-twelfth of Lingzhi," he said, turning his Wheelchair to crush a piece of Ice Crystal Lotus. The magical backlash of blue light flowing from the severed limb echoed with the Ice Cocoon on his sister's swaddling. "Those Phosphorescent Butterflies are gnawing at the Node of the Defensive Formation."
Luna yawned widely, her lashes catching a momentary Golden Sandglass that suddenly released a grain of time sand.
Aelia quickly patted the swaddling and hummed a Fairy Lullaby to soothe the Elemental Uprising.
On the surface of her thumb, which was being sucked by an unaware infant, cracks were beginning to form in the Zi Wu spiral pattern that enveloped her finger.
The Astrolabe in the Magic Castle Hall projected a distorted Zodiac Chart.
Second Brother clutched the Phoenix Feather Pen gifted by his dear friend, while the swirling venom in his Ink Bottle reflected the Rainbow Mist staining Lucius's cuffs.
When Aelia appeared before the Golden Gate holding Luna, argument sounds startled a swarm of Phosphorescent Butterflies from the Crystal Chandelier, sending them scattering into chaos.
"When Father forged the Flame Guardian using Phantom Light Resonance, did he ever consider that those Outsider Women were feeding on the spiritual energy of the Magic Fortress Leyline?" Qin Si's neck bore the unique bone patterns of a Lich, and the Pocket Watch Chain wrapped around the skeleton of the Lucius Darkmoon Pendant was gnawing at her lace sleeve. "Last night, when the West Tower collapsed, the floor of the lady's delivery room leaked Dragon Blood Crystal!"
Lucius slammed the Memory Crystal down heavily on the Long Table inlaid with Long Tooth, and the vaporized remnants of Dragon Crystal Stone coalesced into a roar of an ancient dragon in his pupil. "Three days ago, the axle of the horse-drawn carriage broke, wasn't it your concocted Magic Potion that corroded it—"
His words were abruptly cut off by Luna's loud cry.
The spiral pattern on the baby's thumb surged, and the Defensive Magic Pattern on the surface of the Long Table recoiled as if encountering a natural enemy.
Aelia gently stroked her daughter's laurel leaf birthmark, and Frost Rose spread from beneath her feet, freezing the writhing Lich shadow beneath Qin Si.
"Three years ago, when we signed the Blood Pact, Lord Leonard should remember," Aelia's voice caused the stardust falling from the dome to freeze in mid-air. "If the heir of the Glorious Demon Fortress does not possess a pure Frost Dragon Bloodline..." Her fingertip traced over Luna's dragon scale pattern. "The Castle Will will reclaim all ownership rights."
Suddenly, Second Brother's Phoenix Feather Pen ignited spontaneously, and from the ashes emerged a remnant of a Prophecy Poem.
The transmitting crystal on Big Brother's wheelchair armrest cracked open, releasing a roar from ancient dragon bones clashing against chains.
Luna stared with her Liuli-colored eyes, reaching for the stardust frozen in mid-air; those light spots converged in her palm into a miniature model of a Magic Castle.
"Before midnight tonight, I want to see the Blood Oath Scroll that annuls the Outer Room Contract at the Stargazing Platform," Aelia said as she carried Luna toward the spiral staircase. Ice Crystal Vines rose behind her to form a transparent chasm. "Otherwise, Castle Will will personally prepare for Luna's Full Moon Feast..." As she turned back, her hair tips crystallized into a Frost Crown. "The grandest Grand Fireworks Display."
Suddenly, the Earth Vein Magic throughout the castle trembled. Leonard’s Flame Guardians positioned in the corridor collectively turned toward the Nursery.
Luna sucked on her fingers and giggled as phosphorescent butterflies poured out from gaps in their armor, gathering into a roaring long shadow deep within her pupils.
Leonard’s Ruby Scepter in hand suddenly erupted with cracks; the Flame Crystal embedded in its staff tip burned a charred vortex pattern into the gilded door frame. "Do you think holding Castle Will hostage can threaten me?" The air around him twisted into a crimson serpent but shattered into phosphorescence upon touching the ice crystal chasm. "Witnesses to the Blood Moon Pact three hundred years ago—"
"It was you who personally sacrificed two-thirds of the Frost Dragon Bloodline." Lucius unfurled the hidden Magic Scroll from his sleeve, and the shattered Parchment formed Curse Runes in the void. "On that snowy night when Mother gave birth to me, the Dragon Blood Crystal that surged from the West Tower still lies sealed in the bottom chamber of the Stargazing Platform."
Aelia lowered her gaze, gently stroking Luna's neck where the Laurel Leaf Birthmark burned. The Ice Cocoon on the Infant Swaddling was transforming the scattered Stardust into Silver Chains.
Suddenly, the armrest of the wheelchair burst forth with an Ice Crystal Lotus, its layers of blooming petals enveloping the restless Elemental Sprite in the Nursery. "The Ancient Dragon Bones are gnawing at the Thirteenth Chain."
"Why not explain this?" Second Brother scattered Ashes from the Phoenix Feather Pen onto the Long Table, where the Burning Remnant of a Prophecy Poem seared Leonard's Bauhinia Emblem into its surface.
The hem of his tattered Magic Robe fluttered without wind, revealing a Curse Mark left from being deceived by a close friend—a flame that eternally burned with an Azure Blue Flame was gnawing at his ankle.
Brother San's crystal ball suddenly reflected Leonard's Last Night, where cracks in the Magic Castle's Outer Wall perfectly matched the shape of the Golden Sandglass on Luna's eyelashes.
His bloodied fingertip pressed against the Prophecy Rune: "The Heir recognized by Castle Will has been born, and your Flame Guardian stationed outside is turning against you."
The Magic Crystal atop Leonard's Staff exploded with a deafening roar, and the flying shards were swallowed by the Ice Cocoon before they could touch Luna's Swaddling.
The baby let out a heart-wrenching Loud Cry, causing the Earth Vein Magic of the entire Magic Castle to convulse violently as if gripped by an invisible hand.
Aelia hurriedly untied the Swaddling Tie and discovered that Luna's Laurel Leaf Birthmark on her nape was oozing Blood Pearls.
"Enough noise! These stupid magical tremors are going to turn my brain into mush!"
A child's voice echoed explosively in everyone's Mind Sea.
Lucius staggered to support himself against the Long Table, where Long Tooth decorations snapped cleanly. Second Brother's Curse Mark suddenly extinguished, revealing an Emerging Baby Palm-shaped frost seal at his ankle; while the Ice Crystal Lotus on Brother San's wheelchair abruptly contracted, freezing the restless Elemental Sprite into an Ice Sculpture.
Leonard stumbled backward, colliding with the Astrolabe Base, while the fury of Burning within Pupil was frozen in shock. "Soul Resonance? This is impossible..."
Aelia's Frost Crown shattered into Xing Xu, and the silver chain that fell from her hair suddenly ensnared Luna's bleeding Luna. When she saw the Blood Pearl coalesce into the Gu Long Language Iris on the infant's skin, her Fingertip instantly formed a seven-layer Protective Barrier. "Qin Si, immediately seal off all Transmission Magic Runes!"
"Mother, don't panic. Although this body is fragile, my soul has completely inherited the Great Mage's... Huh? Why can't I hear the whispers of Castle Will anymore?"
Luna waved her small hand, which shimmered with a Dragon Scale Pattern, as deep within her Liuli-colored Pupils emerged a Golden Hourglass.
The sleeping images of past Lords on the Nursery walls suddenly opened their eyes collectively. The Scepter they held projected a Halo that intertwined above the infant's head, forming a Thorned Crown.
Suddenly, the Wheelchair of her elder brother turned toward Luna on its own, and the backlash of Blue Light from his severed limbs began to slowly fade.
"Father now believes in Castle Will's choice?" Lucius wiped away the Bloodstain that had been shaken loose by Soul Resonance and arranged his broken Long Tooth into the shape of a Judgment Sword. "The last time these Inheritance Images awakened collectively was three hundred years ago when our ancestors purged the traitors."
Leonard's sleeves suddenly ignited with Purple Black Flame but were devoured by Frost Rose before they could burn through his Embroidered Shoes.
He stared at the gradually forming miniature model of Magic Castle in Luna's Palm, the sound of his Adams Apple rolling reminiscent of sandpaper scraping together. "Before midnight... I will bring the Blood Oath Scroll."
As the Golden Gate slammed shut behind Leonard, Aelia suddenly stumbled and fell onto the throne woven from Ice Crystal Vines.
The Lich Bone Pattern on Qin Si's neck was converting the Magical Energy spilling from Nursery into a Protective Barrier but was disrupted by some higher power when it touched Luna's Swaddling.
"I'm so tired... This infant body is such a hassle, but at least it allows Mother to take control. Now, all I have to do is wait for the Blood Oath Scroll..."
The ethereal Child's Voice once again swept through everyone's Mind Sea.
Second Brother suddenly clutched his Heart and fell to his knees. The Curse Mark on his chest began to emerge, displaying the same Laurel Leaf pattern as Luna's. Brother San's crystal ball cracked with Spider Web-like fissures, each crack precisely corresponding to the damage on the Magic Fortress Leyline. The backlash from the severed limb of the eldest brother caused the Blue Light to vanish completely, replaced by a Silver White Energy Flow originating from the same source as Luna's Ice Cocoon.
Aelia pressed her trembling Fingertip against Luna's rising and falling chest, as the Dragon Scale Pattern beneath the infant's skin began to reorganize her Magic Circuit.
When a roar echoed from deep within the castle, signaling the Ancient Dragon Skeleton breaking free from its chains, she suddenly became aware that those Ice Crystal Vines did not originate from her magic—each vine entwining the Nursery bore a Laurel Leaf Totem identical to Luna's.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly exclaimed, pointing outside of Xi Chuang in shock.
In the twilight, twelve Phosphorescent Butterflies were carrying shattered pieces of a Memory Crystal toward the Stargazing Platform, each fragment reflecting the secret meeting between Leonard and the Outsider Woman in the Purple Azalea Garden, known as Leonard's Last Night.
Even more bizarrely, those Rainbow Mist particles that should have dissipated in the wind were now coalescing into a Blood Arrow pointing toward the Cellar, spurred by Luna's loud cry.
Suddenly, a stream of Blood Mist seeped through the gap in the Nursery Door, sketching out an Ancient Warning Rune on the ground.
Luna, cradled in Aelia's arms, abruptly stopped crying. The Golden Hourglass within her infant pupil began to flow backward, causing the entire Magic Castle's Earth Vein Magic to emit a dying wail.
