The fallen stardust had yet to dissipate as Luna was cradled by Aelia, passing through the Bronze Portico.
The infant's pink ankle bore the Frost King's Seal, shimmering with a ghostly blue glow in the moonlight, freezing the Shadow Moss that thrived in the wall crevices into Ice Shards.
“Mother, look!” Brother San suddenly leaped down from the spiral staircase, his palm hovering with a Flame Rose that crystallized into a translucent Ice Sculpture the moment it touched Luna's swaddling. “Sister can stabilize uncontrolled magic!”
The sound of a wheelchair crunching over the shattered ice echoed from the second floor, while the ruby atop his brother's staff dripped a lava-like liquid.
As he reached out to touch Luna's golden hair, his fingertips, usually tinged with purple, regained their color. “The Bronze Box in the cellar...”
“What are you all doing standing at the door?” Leonard's voice wafted from the banquet hall, wrapped in the aroma of honey wine. As Lord Silver Thread's embroidered cloak brushed against Luna's nose, she keenly detected the scent of violet mixed with agave—a signature fragrance of Leonard's concubine, Maggie.
Aelia's eye sockets moistened instantly as she mistook her husband's gold dust-stained cuffs for Chen Lu. “Did you have someone repaint the children's room? I smell cedar paint...”
“It’s magical paint specially supplied from the Northern Territory,” Leonard said, seemingly unintentionally blocking the West Corridor, where a Rose Window was oozing a dark red flow.
Luna’s pupils suddenly glimmered ice blue as she peered over her father's shoulder and saw a slender Lucius cradling an infant reflected in the window glass.
Second Brother stumbled and crashed into a gilded candelabra; his waist's broken contract scroll began to automatically repair itself.
When Luna’s tiny hand grasped a parchment floating before her eyes, the runes altered by her dear friend rearranged themselves, transforming into ice crystals that fell upon Brother San and Mei Xin.
“Sister is helping me!” Brother San suddenly knelt on the ground as chaotic lightning elements within him coalesced into the form of a Silver Giant Wolf. “So my summon isn’t a groundhog after all!”
The roar of the Bronze Box echoed once more from underground, and Luna’s wrist bearing the King Seal suddenly felt scorching hot.
She pretended to grab her father's watch chain, her chubby little hand deftly pulling the mechanism of the dark compartment—half a blood-stained Jiao Xiao Wedding Scroll fluttered down, perfectly matching the half that Aelia had hidden in her necklace.
"What is this..." Before Aelia could touch the tattered cursed fabric, Qin Si appeared with the Iris Tea Set in hand.
Where the head maid's skirt swept by, the glow of the Frost King's Seal suddenly dimmed. Luna noticed a key hanging from her waist that matched the bronze box.
Leonard stepped on the Marriage Certificate, his movements flowing like clouds and water. He smiled as he lifted his little daughter: "The banquet hall has prepared Cloudberry Cake; let us..."
Before he could finish, Luna suddenly sneezed at her father.
A whirlwind of magical ice crystals tore open the tapestry of the Banquet Hall Dome, revealing a family portrait painted twenty years ago: where Aelia should have been, frost-covered tentacles now twisted into an empty space.
"Cellar!" The elder brother's staff suddenly burst with red light, and the wheelchair transformed into a blazing fire as it rushed toward the basement.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna threw her saliva-soaked rattle toward the West Corridor. The toy wrapped in ice crystals crashed into a hidden door, and Maggie's pearl earring glimmered as it got stuck in the gap of the secret passage.
As Aelia bent down to pick up the earring, Leonard's grip on her thin shoulders revealed his panic.
Luna immediately giggled, biting her fingertip with her newly grown milk tooth and flicking a blood pearl toward the contract scroll that Second Brother was repairing.
The blood pearl touched the parchment's Shan Na, and the roar of the bronze box transformed into Longyin.
Brother San's Thunder Wolf rushed into the hall with a bronze box in its mouth. The moment the box lid sprang open, twenty love letters adorned with Jin Bian cascaded into the air—each signed with a violet-wreathed "M" character.
"Maggie's violet badge?" Aelia murmured in awareness, causing Leonard to freeze.
At that moment, Luna's Frost King's Seal suddenly erupted with a strong light, freezing the countless love letters into ice shards. Qin Si seized the opportunity to catch two crucial pieces of evidence that had yet to touch the ground with a silver tea tray.
As the last ice crystal fell to the ground, Luna let out a sleepy yawn.
Curled up in her mother's trembling embrace, her azure pupils reflected Qin Si's secretive action of slipping something into a napkin—an unmistakable peacock blue silk thread that had fallen from a bronze box, identical to the curtain tassel Qin Si had replaced yesterday.
The moment the moonlight shifted onto the castle emblem, Luna's wrist adorned with the King Seal suddenly buzzed.
She watched as Qin Si hurriedly left under the pretense of changing the tea set, her skirt fluttering to reveal half of a peacock blue envelope. The dark pattern visible only with the Frost King's Seal flickered, revealing the coordinates of Outer Chamber Manor.
Qin Si's wrist holding the tea set trembled slightly, and a corner of the peacock blue envelope peeked out from beneath the liujin napkin.
Aelia was about to lean in for a closer look when the head maid suddenly tapped the cup rim with a silver spoon. "Madam should try this freshly picked moonlight mint."
Luna's ankle stirred within the King Seal, and ice crystals crawled up Qin Si's skirt onto the gilded tray.
As ripples formed on the surface of the moonlight mint tea, a half-formed enchanting visage reflected back—Maggie was pinning violets in her hair before a dressing mirror, while behind her lay a cradle containing an infant strikingly similar to Leonard and Mei Yan.
"This is Illusion Tea!" Aelia suddenly pushed away her teacup, scalding tea soup splashing onto Qin Si's hand back and forming ice pearls.
The head maid abruptly knelt on the ground, shaking loose a peacock blue letter from her hair bun, which bore the words "West Suburb Vineyard Cellar" written in Jiao Ren Lei.
Leonard's watch chain unexpectedly wrapped around Aelia's ankle. "My dear, you should lull Luna to sleep." Just as his fingertip activated a hypnosis spell that touched the infant swaddling, it was rebounded by the Frost King's Seal into fragmented starlight.
Seizing the chance, Luna caught the falling starlight and stuffed it into her mouth, coughing violently as if pretending to be choked.
"Quick, find a doctor!" Brother San shouted as the Thunder Wolf knocked over the Bronze Candlestick.
In the chaos, Qin Si suddenly tugged at the Pearl Button of her collar, revealing a violet-shaped burn mark on her Collarbone. "Twenty years ago, during your difficult labor, it was Miss Maggie's Healing Spell..."
Aelia stumbled against the ice wall, the Light Spot cast by the Crystal Chandelier illuminating her skirt, which had been torn to shreds.
She recalled the miraculous healing of her wounds on that day of childbirth and remembered Leonard saying it was a miracle of Love Magic.
At that moment, Luna's Loud Cry transformed into an Ice Spike, pinning the floating love letter, Remnant Page, to the Family Crest.
"Explain," Aelia demanded, tearing off her Neck necklace. A blood-stained Marriage Certificate fluttered down to her husband's Boot Tip.
As Leonard bent down, golden baby hair peeked out from his Pocket Watch—its color identical to that of the boy in Maggie's arms.
The Lord suddenly chuckled softly, his Fingertip brushing against the Family Portrait sealed within the ice wall. "If it weren't for needing the Frost King's Seal to guard the Magic Castle back then..." His words melted away in Aelia's sudden surge of magic. The Celestial Chart in the Banquet Hall Dome twisted unexpectedly as the Ice Element suppressed by the Emotion Spell for twenty years began to awaken.
Luna's Pupil reflected her Mother’s Hair Tips frosted with ice.
When Aelia's tears hit the ground and turned to ice, a Bronze Box suddenly burst forth from the Cellar. As the Box Lid sprang open, three hundred love letters sent by Maggie transformed into a violet rainstorm.
Each petal emerged with scenes of Leonard and his Concubine Mother and Son laughing together. The most striking one displayed last year's birthday banquet for Aelia—where the Lord had claimed to be inspecting the borders but was actually celebrating with a baby in his arms at Le Domaine.
"Why is it Cedar Paint?" Aelia suddenly grasped a Memory Fragment floating before her. It showed the paint on the walls of a children's room. "You said that was Northern Mage's Paint..." She raised her hand to conjure an Ice Mirror, revealing the current nursery in West Suburb Mansion—the walls of the same color glimmering under Agave Aroma's Defensive Barrier.
Leonard finally wiped away his smile as the Gilded Candelabra melted into a sharp sword in his hand. "Now that you’ve seen it, you should understand..." Before Jian Feng could be drawn, the Lava Gem on Brother's Wheelchair suddenly exploded, and molten lava surged from underground, instantly enveloping the Sword Body.
The repaired Contract Scroll automatically unfurled, and the oath Leonard had made before the Moon Goddess Statue began to burn, word by word.
Taking advantage of the moment, Luna seized Qin Si's trembling fingers and exhaled Ice Mist from her palm.
As the Ice Mist crystallized into the shape of a key, the Head Maid suddenly tore open her clothing, revealing a writhing Violet Curse Seal at her heart. "They placed a Symbiotic Curse on my child!"
The moonlight was suddenly swallowed by Wu Yun, and Maggie's Xu Ying rose gracefully from the Bronze Box.
This gentle healer, who had been so sweet in Aelia's memories, now stroked Aelia's Luna with fingers stained by Dan Kou. "Sister, why are you crying? Wasn't it you who begged me to save your child's life back then?"
Aelia's Magic Surge froze the entire banquet hall into an Ice Cave, but as it touched Maggie's Xu Ying, it disintegrated into Water Mist.
Luna suddenly struggled and lunged at Xu Ying, her Milk Tooth sinking fiercely into the ring finger of Maggie's illusion—the spot where a Wedding Ring should have been was now emerging with a Secret Silver Emblem that shared its origin with Leonard's Watch Chain.
As the last Ice Spike fell from the chandelier, Aelia noticed an Ice Blue shimmer flash across Maggie's ear.
That characteristic belonging to a Deep Sea Merman bore an uncanny resemblance to the unusual curvature of the Ear Bone in the portrait of his deceased wife hanging in her husband's study...
