As the seventh bell tolled through the colored window, Luna bit down on the edge of her muffin, crumbs scattering. Honey dripped down her arm like an elegant stream, pooling in the cradle to form an amber-colored bead—within it reflected the crystal shards that had fallen when Brother San's garment brushed past.
"Laughter!" The infant suddenly kicked her legs towards the shadow of the pillar, colorful bubbles spiraling from her palm, perfectly encasing the falling shards of magic crystal.
The young man with black hair, who had been rushing while gripping the carved armrest, abruptly halted. A damaged magic crystal in his pocket emitted a blue light and collided with the bubble wall with a soft "ping."
Brother San, Lucius, stared at the floating magic crystal and suddenly noticed that the shards wrapped in bubbles were beginning to reassemble on their own.
As the ice blue light flowed anew, he felt an itch at the scar on the back of his neck—a sign of healing magic from the water system.
"Mother said not to go near the cellar..." he murmured, reaching out to grab a bubble, only to retract his hand in surprise at Luna's sudden loud cry.
Tears from the infant splashed onto the lapis lazuli tiles, transforming into a string shaped like an ice crystal key.
Lucius's pupils dilated; this was unmistakably the pattern of the lockhole in Father's study's dark compartment.
At that moment, a sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the West Tower.
His brother's staff was forcing ink-like mist into a corner, and the black fog that had coiled around his right leg for three years suddenly morphed into a venomous serpent pattern.
Just as the serpent's tongue was about to touch his throat, a lark flew in from outside, its beak holding a piece of ice crystal key smeared with honey.
"Luna's toy?" His brother's pale fingertip barely grazed the key when the black mist serpent writhed in agony.
The clear water melted from the Ice Crystal Key seeped into the cracks of the staff, and the Griffin eyes embedded in the Staff Tip suddenly turned—there was the Ruby missing from Mother’s Wedding Ring!
As Frost Magic spread throughout the staff, my eldest brother's damaged Right Leg suddenly regained sensation.
He stumbled and knocked over the Potion Rack, causing a Sheepskin Scroll to roll out and unfold. The Tiny Inscriptions from Father were fading: "The Heir of the Leonard Family must offer blood kin as a sacrifice to the Magic Backlash..."
"The password for Father's Study Room Secret Compartment is based on our brothers' injuries and the Moon Phase." Lucius's Raspy Voice came from the doorway, his Wrist wrapped in bandages made from Luna bubbles, blood seeping from the Griffin Emblem on his Palm.
The three Youth's magical Scar resonated simultaneously, shattering the Bing Hua that had formed on the Window Lattice.
At that moment in the rose garden, Qin Si paused while polishing Silverware.
On the fourth pass over the Lord's Throne armrest, a hint of Cinnabar Red peeked out from the Iris Pattern Gap—that was the Fire Seal exclusive to Leonard's Concubine.
As the opened Magic Letter fell from the Hidden Layer of the Glory Codex Cover, it was discovered that one of Griffin's claws on Huo Qi was missing.
"Madam!" Qin Si rushed into the Grooming hall, clutching the letter, and knocked over Aelia’s favorite Iris Incense Burner.
As ash fell onto the Letterhead, the word "eternal" in Leonard's Love Words suddenly twisted into a snake pattern.
Aelia’s golden hair tangled in her comb snapped with a loud crack; those strands she had lovingly arranged for her husband each day were now turning to Ashes amidst the Mother-of-pearl Shu Chi.
From the direction of the Cellar came an eerie Resonance sound, and Aelia's Wrist suddenly sprouted ice crystals uncontrollably.
She gazed at the Dressing Mirror, realizing that the beauty nurtured by the Magic Potion of love for twenty years was now covered in a Spider Web of Ice Cracks.
When familiar footsteps echoed from the Lord's Chamber, she suddenly pressed her Wedding Ring against the mirror's surface—Frost Magic pierced her heart through the Mirror Crack, where a heartbeat should have resonated with Leonard's Heart Convergence Spell.
"Aelia, it's time for you to take your medicine." Leonard held the Liujin cup with an unsettling steadiness, though frost clung to the Cup Rim.
As he attempted to stroke his wife's hair, Aelia suddenly crushed the comb. The shards of Mother-of-pearl cut into his Hand Back in an instant, and ice crystals enveloped the splattered Blood Pearl.
From the Floor Tile Gap emerged a Silver Thread, trembling above the Cellar Door was the Anshen Incense Pouch left behind by Second Brother.
Luna's Cradle appeared at some point around the corner of the corridor, with an Ice Crystal Key wrapped in Honey inserted into the Cellar's lock.
As frost Tentacles coiled around each family member's Wrist, a sharp crack echoed from the Lord's Chamber—the sound startled a Raven resting atop the Magic Castle Spire, and a flurry of Hei Yu obscured the last rays of sunlight.
The iron door of the Cellar groaned under the assault of ice crystals, while Luna curled up in her Cradle, biting down on the silver-trimmed Swaddling Tie.
As Honey melted on her Tongue, the castle's Magical Veins suddenly became vividly apparent on her retina—the Crystal Fragment from Father's Bedroom was converging along the Bloodline patterns towards the Cellar.
"The Cellar holds Mother's Dowry Box!" Lucius suddenly pressed his bleeding Palm, as those Blood Pearls absorbed by ice crystal bandages formed a Star Map on the Lapis Lazuli Floor.
Second Brother's Anshen Incense Pouch exploded unexpectedly, and Silver Thread entwined around the three brothers' Wrists. They simultaneously recalled that fateful night when Father pierced their Fingertips with a Thorn—Leonard's Last Night.
The Murder of Crows atop the West Tower abruptly changed direction, and Hei Yu crashed against the Colored Window of the Lord's Chamber like a torrential downpour.
The icy wound on Leonard's hand suddenly sprouted thorns, and instead of blood, dark purple magic dust flowed from the pierced skin.
From the ice cracks of Aelia's dressing mirror, an ice blue mist seeped out. The love potion she had been feeding her husband for twenty years was now flowing back through the mirror's fissures into the Liujin medicine cup.
"So you had already inscribed the Heart Convergence Spell into the magic potion." Aelia's fingertip brushed against her cracking reflection in the mirror, and the ruby on her wedding ring suddenly reflected a scene from deep within the cellar—twelve bronze boxes adorned with griffin emblems were awakening from their frost, each box lid's keyhole stained with the blood of her sons.
Luna suddenly coughed violently, and bubbles of honey wrapped around a milk tooth flew toward the castle dome.
When the bubbles shattered against the crystal chandelier, the magic circle diagram that had remained untouched for twenty years suddenly appeared in the dome—those nodes calculated using her sons' injuries and moon phases were now resonating with the cellar's bronze boxes.
"Father's study!" The eldest brother pushed open the golden oak door with his recovering right leg, and a beam of light shot out from the ruby at the tip of his staff.
The faded sheepskin scroll revealed new tiny inscriptions in the red light: "When the blood moon hangs high, the sacrifice will become the key to opening the abyss..." The ink at the edge of the scroll suddenly began to move, transforming into images of the three brothers during their swaddled infancy.
A roar came from the direction of the cellar as a bronze box lid opened, causing Luna's ice crystal key to melt away.
Deep within her azure pupils, fragments of memory belonging to a great mage were reassembling—those elements not described in the original text, hidden within the dowry box's layers, were now being drawn toward the lord's chamber by frost-covered tentacles.
As the last raven feather covered the castle emblem, Luna grasped the edge of her cradle, attempting to sit up.
Her chubby palm suddenly emerged with a totem not recorded in any previous texts—it was the Frost King's Seal, lost by her maternal family for a century, flickering like breath in the Han Qi surging from the cellar.
