The Ice Crystal Throne refracted a ghostly blue light that enveloped Luna's braided hair, with the curled fragments of Star Pattern Stone gently falling into Aelia's Wedding Ring's crack.
Suddenly, the doll-like figure reached out to grasp the floating Ice Mist, her fingers, coated in Sugar Coating, precisely poking at the remnants of Shadow Serpent scales nestled in Leonard's silver hair.
"Did Father teach Brother San to raise little snakes using Astrology?" Luna tilted her head, biting down on her Pearl Cufflinks, her violet pupils reflecting the shattered remnants of magical lamps scattered across the Dome.
She deliberately let the saliva-soaked Sugar Coating drip onto the Ice Crystal Armrest, causing Jiao Ren's Relief Lacrima to instantly freeze into icicles.
Leonard's sleeves, embroidered with dark Jin Wen patterns, suddenly erupted with three Shadow Serpents, but they were shredded into Ice Shards the moment they touched Aelia's Skirt.
The Lord gazed down at the writhing Serpent Scales on the ground; these magical creations that should have melted into shadows now revealed Bloodline patterns on the Ice Crystal Ground.
"Aelia will always be the mistress of the Glorious Demon Fortress." He flicked away an icicle that had landed on his shoulder, and the residual shadows from twelve Twin Lotus magical lamps flickered in his pupils. "But the glory of Magic Castle today..."
"Is what Mother exchanged for thirty years in the Eternal Frozen Realm!" Luna suddenly raised a shard of her Sugar Coating-covered Bronze Box and stumbled toward her brother in the wheelchair.
As the shard sliced through her palm, a resonance from deep within the dungeon echoed like Dragon Bone Zhen Chan. Brother San's Astrological Compass at his waist suddenly burst forth with seven beams of starlight perfectly aligned with Shadow Serpent patterns.
Aelia's Bloodstained Wedding Ring suddenly emitted a red glow, and Jiao Ren's Relief on the Ice Crystal Throne's armrest let out a screech.
The Ice Mist falling from the Dome intertwined above everyone's heads to form a blood-red Bloodline Chart. The current representative of "Illegitimate Child," illuminated by starlight, was Shan Na. Suddenly, black mist seeped from Lucius's neck marked by Serpent Scale.
"Father, look!" Luna stood on tiptoe and smeared the bloodied Sugar Coating onto the floating Bloodline Chart, pointing at the twisted Dark Pattern beneath Leonard's name with a baby voice. "These little Hei Hei snakes are biting Mother's Ice Rose!"
Leonard's pupils suddenly constricted.
His cloak, embroidered with Dark Golden Serpent Patterns, fluttered without wind as seven Shadow Serpents emerged from his sleeves and simultaneously lunged at the Bloodline Chart suspended in mid-air.
But when Snake Fangs touched Shan Na’s icy form, a surge of Twelve Rays Ice Spikes erupted from Aelia’s Wedding Ring, pinning the Shadow Serpents as they hung suspended like Centaurea Specimens.
"Three years ago in the Extreme North Icefield during that violent Wind and Snow," Aelia gently caressed Jiao Ren Lei marks on the Ice Crystal Armrest. The ice crystals blossomed into Frost Flowers along her skirt as they spread across the ground. "You sent Lucius with a Warm Sunstone that concealed a Soul Devouring Serpent Egg, didn't you?"
Lucius stumbled and knocked over the Crystal Wine Rack, the Serpent Scale Mark on his neck frantically absorbing the dissipating black mist of the Shadow Serpent in the air.
Brother San's Astrological Compass suddenly projected a Star Map, precisely enveloping the retreating Young Master, burning the Snake Pattern Brooch on his formal attire to ashes.
"Mother, the Ice Crystal Necklace you’re wearing today is so beautiful!" Luna suddenly tugged at Aelia's skirt, deliberately pressing her little hand, sticky with Dragon Blood and Sugar Coating, against the throne's base.
The roar from deep within the dungeon surged closer, as eighteen Frost Chains burst forth from the ground, tightly binding Lucius, who was attempting to escape into black mist, at the center of the Star Map.
Leonard's dark patterns in his silver hair began to swirl; as shadows spread beneath his feet, they were about to engulf the nearest Ice Crystal Chain when he noticed that Luna had somehow smeared bloodied Sugar Coating all over his brother's wheelchair.
As the unique Blue Light of the Eternal Frozen Realm erupted from the Wheel Spokes, Lord Pupil finally flashed with anger and surprise.
"Is Father angry?" Luna curled up in Aelia's embrace, fragments of her Star Pattern Stone from her hair tips cascading into the cracks of her Wedding Ring.
She lowered her gaze, playing with the blood-stained Pearl Cufflinks, her violet pupils reflecting Lucius's neck where the Serpent Scale Mark was gradually shattering. "But you taught me that Shadow Serpents love to eat the eyes of lying children."
The Extreme Cold Storm that erupted from the Ice Crystal Throne finally shattered Aelia's Bloodstained Wedding Ring completely.
When the Ice Rose sealing the Eternal Frozen Realm bloomed from the remains of the ring, Lucius’s right hand, bound by chains, suddenly rose uncontrollably—his fingertip aimed at Luna’s Mei Xin coalescing into a Black Mist Vortex.
Frost Chains dug into Lucius’s wrist, leaving an Azure Bloodstain as dozens of Shadow Serpents sprang forth from beneath Young Master’s bloodied hem.
He abruptly looked up at the shattered magical lamp in the dome; the broken Serpent Scale Mark on his neck resonated with Leonard’s dark patterns in his silver hair.
"Mother is merely reclaiming what belongs to her." Lucius's voice mixed with a serpent's hiss as he tried to break free from the chains; his right hand twisted into a Serpent Pattern. "But you, madam—" dark purple blood vessels spread across his eye white. "When you used living sacrifices for the Eternal Frozen Realm in the Extreme North Icefield, did you ever consider the dignity of Magic Castle?"
Aelia's Wedding Ring Fragment suddenly floated up, and Ice Rose Petals cut through her bloodied fingertip.
Just as she was about to speak, Luna leaped onto the Ice Crystal Chandelier by stepping on Brother San's Astrological Compass, accurately striking Lucius’s Mei Xin with her pearl cufflinks.
"Luna hid a Soul Devouring Insect Egg in Big Brother's Birthday Gift!" She wiggled her sugar-coated toes, and Violet Pupil suddenly reflected scenes from three years ago amidst the violent Wind and Snow.
The beams refracted by the Ice Crystal Chandelier intertwined in the air, revealing Lucius handing a Warm Sunstone to Aelia, with a She Shadow swimming in the dark patterns of his cuffs.
Leonard's cloak, embroidered with dark Jin Wen designs, suddenly swelled, shattering the illusions in the air into fragments.
As the black mist condensed at Lord Fingertip was about to touch Luna, Big Brother on the wheelchair suddenly coughed violently—pieces of a Bronze Box fell from his sleeve, resonating with the Dragon Bone deep within the dungeon, causing the ground of the Throne Hall to begin emerging with Blood Magic Patterns.
"Father said that the foundation of the Glorious Demon Fortress is the Eternal Frozen Realm." Luna suddenly leaped into Aelia's arms, her small hand smeared with Dragon Blood intentionally brushing against Ice Rose Petals.
When Twelve Rays of Ice Spike erupted from the Wedding Ring Remains, she tilted her head, revealing a child's unique innocence: "But the barrier is consuming Mother's Ten Years, just like the Shadow Serpent is devouring Brother Lucius's soul."
The dome of the hall suddenly collapsed with a rain of ice spikes, and Leonard's Pupil was swirling with Dark Golden Patterns.
With every step back his boots embroidered with Sheen Pattern took, the Blood Magic Pattern on the ground dimmed: "Aelia's honor has never wavered; rather, some people—" Suddenly, seven Shadow Serpent fangs flew from Lord's sleeve, accurately piercing Second Brother Mei Xin, who had attempted to speak. "What punishment should befall those who slander the family head under Magic Dilemma?"
Brother San's Waist Astrological Compass suddenly erupted with blinding starlight, incinerating the Snake Fangs into Ashes.
Big Brother on the wheelchair suddenly pressed his hand against the water pooling on the ground, and Blue Light from the Eternal Frozen Realm coiled around Lucius's ankle along the water flow.
As frost began to consume Young Master's gown hem, twelve Elders in Black Robes suddenly emerged from the shadows; their Magic Circles floating in hand were identical to Leonard's Pupil patterns.
"The lady has sacrificed much for Magic Castle." The Chief Elder's withered fingers brushed over the Ice Crystal Throne, and Jiao Ren's Relief Lacrima suddenly turned Blood Red. "But elevating one's status requires recognition from all fortress members—" On the Voting Screen emerging behind him, Serpent Runes representing opposition had already occupied ninety percent.
Luna suddenly smeared her bloodied Sugar Coating on the Voting Screen and pointed at a certain rune in a Baby Voice: "This symbol is exactly like Father's Study Ankeli!" She deliberately let fragments of Star Pattern Stone fall at the edge of Light Barrier. When a certain elder's Magic Circle suddenly went awry, Aelia's Ice Rose unexpectedly bloomed with Frost Mist unique to Extreme North Land.
"Enough!" Leonard's cloak embroidered with dark Jin Wen designs suddenly whipped up a Magic Storm, forcing everyone back three steps.
The Serpent Scale Dark Pattern had spread to Lord's neck among his silver hair; he lowered his gaze to Luna's hair tips where Star Pattern Stone fragments lay. "A family meeting will be held Tomorrow Noon; now—"
"Now it's time for the liar to face the consequences!" Luna suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Lucius, who was trying to retreat. With her teeth coated in Sugar Coating, she bit down precisely on his wrist, where the Serpent Scale Mark was.
At that moment, as black mist gushed from the wound, a roar echoed from deep within the dungeon, and eighteen Frost Dragons burst through the ground, shattering the entire Voting Screen into pieces.
The Magic Circles of the twelve elders exploded simultaneously, their withered fingers suddenly sprouting Serpent Scales identical to Lucius's.
Aelia's blood-stained skirt fluttered without wind, and Ice Rose Petals sliced through her pale fingertip. "Since you all think I am unworthy—"
"Mother, let's go door to door and reason with them!" Luna suddenly lunged at the nearest knight, her small hand, stained with Dragon Blood, grasping Leonard's Sword.
As the family crest embedded in the sword's hilt revealed its Bloodline patterns, baby Violet's pupils reflected the scene of the knight's secret conversation with Lucius from the previous night. "Big Brother said Luna is a wild child, but your sword is trembling."
In the sudden burst of cold light from Leonard's Sword, all Twelve Knights' weapons emitted a hum.
The dark golden patterns in Leonard's pupils dimmed abruptly. His fingertip, embroidered with a sheen pattern, was about to move when he realized that the blue light from the Eternal Frozen Realm had already wrapped around the hem of his cloak along the Ice Crystal Ground.
"Nonsense!" The Chief Elder suddenly raised his Serpent Head Staff, but his murky eyes avoided Luna's gaze. "The thousand-year rules of the Magic Castle do not allow a child—"
His voice came to an abrupt halt.
The elder in the wheelchair had somehow pressed an Astrological Compass against the ground. Under the starlight, the Serpent Head of the elder's scepter revealed Scale Patterns identical to those on Lucius's neck.
The roars from deep within the dungeon grew closer, and ice cones with Blood Veins began to fall from the Ice Crystal Chandelier.
Luna curled up in Aelia's arms, playing with blood-stained Pearl Cufflinks.
As the emblem of the Eighteen Families' branch appeared in the Ice Mist, she suddenly broke into a child's radiant smile. "Tomorrow Luna will bring Sugar Coating snacks to play at Uncle's houses; they will surely love to hear stories from the Eternal Frozen Realm."
The hall fell into a sudden silence as the Serpent Scales of the twelve elders began to peel away under the starlight.
The dark embroidered cloak worn by Leonard suddenly transformed into black mist and dissipated. As the last piece of Serpent Scale fell to the ground from Lord's silver hair, a piercing wail erupted from the Jiao Ren Relief on the armrest of the Ice Crystal Throne.
The Blood Vein from the Ice Crystal Chandelier fell, spreading dark red patterns across the Qian Si Skirt. Luna took a half step back, clutching her small hand covered in Sugar Coating.
The emblem of the Xu Ying branch of the Eighteen Families flickered in the Dome, while the Serpent Scale peeling off the Chief Elder's Scepter was being burned to Qing Yan by the Blue Light of the Eternal Frozen Realm.
"How can a three-year-old child speak of the rules of the Magic Castle?" The withered old man pointed at the Ice Crystal Throne with a finger still bearing remnants of scales. The Jiao Ren Relief suddenly emitted a harsh grinding sound. "Back when Lady Aelia was sacrificed for the barrier—"
"Should Mother remain forever kneeling on the altar as an Ice Sculpture?" Luna suddenly lunged toward the throne, her small hand, stained with Dragon Blood, slapping against the hollow eye sockets of the Jiao Ren.
As the Ice Crystal Ground suddenly reflected scenes from Three Hundred Years Ago's Blood Sacrifice, she turned to look at the chuckling knights. "Just like how your ancestors stuffed their daughters into the Ice Cave?"
The hall was filled with a cacophony of Jian Qiao collisions.
Leonard's dark Jin Wen embroidered cloak moved on its own without wind. Just as black mist began to coalesce at Lord's fingertip, Luna jumped and grabbed his waist adorned with Sheen Pattern Ailya. "Father promised to listen to Luna's reasoning!"
The scoffs of twelve Elders in Black Robe echoed off the ice walls, creating distorted ripples.
The chains binding Second Brother's waist suddenly rattled. His palm, marked with Magic Burn Marks, pressed against the Wheelchair Armrest. "Sister, the elders won't listen—"
"Then let them hear the sound of souls being devoured by the Eternal Frozen Realm!" Luna suddenly climbed up onto the Ice Crystal Long Table, tugging at Aelia's skirt. The pearl cufflinks from her dress rolled across the table engraved with Sheen Patterns, splattering Star Pattern Stone fragments before the Chief Elder.
As those fragments touched Shan Na's remaining scales, a sickening sound of dislocated bones echoed from deep within the dungeon.
Suddenly, a surge of Dark Pattern erupted from Leonard's silver hair. He lightly tapped his Serpent Scale Boot Tip against the ground, and Blue Light from the Eternal Frozen Realm coalesced into Entity Chains. "If you can get half of the fortress dwellers to nod before Tomorrow's Twilight—" Dark Golden Patterns swirled like venomous snakes within Lord's pupils, "I shall grant you Mother’s control over the Frost Staff."
Aelia’s bloodied fingertip tightened around an Ice Rose, its petals slicing open wounds that blossomed Frost Flowers on the icy table.
But Luna had already cheered as she dashed toward an Ice Spike hanging from the hall’s Dome. Her pigtails swept past the knights' rigid armor. "Luna wants to take Uncle to see a singing Ice Butterfly!"
"Ridiculous!" Brother San's Astrological Compass suddenly burst forth with starlight, freezing the knight attempting to intervene in place.
His Waist Astrolabe reflected Luna's mischievous smile—the little girl was stuffing fragments of a Sugar Coated Bronze Box into the gaps of her armor, and the magic Surveillance Spell, which should have been invisible, ignited spontaneously upon contact with Dragon Blood.
Qin Si suddenly stepped in between Luna and the Chief Elder, the maid's Skirt and Ice Crystal Pendant clinking together. "Miss should take her afternoon nap," she said, pinching the little girl's collar with her dyed Dan Kou fingers, while the hidden Star Pattern Stone Powder in her sleeve was scattered towards the Ice Crystal Throne, unnoticed by Leonard.
"The Lord has commanded that you all move to the side hall." The Chief Elder's Scepter struck heavily against the ground, and the black blood seeping from its base corroded a path resembling Lucius's neck adorned with Snake Scale Patterns.
The Twelve Knights' Leonard's Sword suddenly unsheathed half an inch simultaneously, the Family Crest embedded in the hilt casting a blood-red Light Spot amidst the Ice Mist.
Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, fiddling with the maid's Crystal Earrings, her Violet Pupils reflecting the Shadow Serpent that swirled beneath Leonard's cloak.
As the Lord turned around, she pressed her sugar-coated fingertip against the maid's Collarbone—where the emerging Ice Butterfly Mark resonated instantly with the Ice Rose remnants of Aelia's Wedding Ring.
"Luna has prepared many gifts for all you Uncles," the little girl said, kicking her legs and pointing towards the Side Door, where a brocade box in Little Attendant's arms refracted an eerie Blue Light.
She deliberately let her sleeve, stained with Dragon Blood, brush against Qin Si's startled Luna, her voice sweet as a Frost Flower soaked in Honey: "These are all little toys Father taught me to make."
The Jiao Ren Relief on the armrest of the Ice Crystal Throne suddenly emitted a Sobbing sound, and the Serpent Head on the Chief Elder's Scepter burst apart in response.
In that moment when eighteen Family Crests dimmed simultaneously, a starry Ice Mist began to seep from the brocade box in Little Attendant's arms—the mist coalesced mid-air into a Rune Array identical to that of the Eternal Frozen Realm.
The ice cones hanging from the Ice Crystal Chandelier suddenly refracted Rainbow Light, and the Ice Butterfly Mark on Qin Si's Collarbone fluttered as if ready to take flight within the Rune Array.
Luna poked through the Ice Layer covering the surface of the brocade box with her sugar-coated Fingertip. Eighteen bells embedded with Star Pattern Stones rolled onto the Ground, their Sound Waves perfectly matching the dislocated sounds of bones deep within the dungeon.
"This is a Resonance Bell Father taught Luna to make!" The little girl exclaimed as she jumped and crushed two of the bells. The splintered Star Pattern Stone Fragments suddenly floated into an Extreme Northern Star Map.
As Brother San's Astrological Compass automatically fitted into a gap in the Star Map, everyone realized that three hundred sixty-five Light Spots perfectly overlapped with Aelia’s Ice Rose’s Frost Spike.
The Chief Elder's withered skin suddenly cracked, revealing a face intertwined with dark purple Serpent Scales beneath.
His Scepter exploded, and the Serpent Head Remains writhed on the Ground, transforming in the blink of an eye into a chain of scales identical to Lucius's neck. "How could the Yellow-Mouthed Child know the cost of the Blood Alliance Oath?"
"Feeding the Eternal Frozen Realm with the souls of daughters, perhaps?" Luna suddenly smeared Dragon Blood and Sugar Coating onto Qin Si's Ice Butterfly Mark.
The maid's Crystal Earrings burst apart, and the flying shards reflected scenes on the ice wall where the First Generation Elders slit the girl’s throat, pouring her hot blood onto the Ice Rose Root System.
Aelia's Wedding Ring Remains suddenly emitted a sharp cry as the Ice Rose's roots pierced her bloodied Fingertip.
As Frost Flower crept up her neck along the Bloodline patterns, blood-colored Inscriptions suddenly appeared on the icicles hanging from the Dome—these were the Soul Contracts signed by each Lady of the Fortress.
"Mother, don't be afraid!" Luna tore apart the necklace made of Pearl Cufflinks, and the rolling pearls bounced on the Ice Surface, forming a Binding Array.
The doll intentionally fell into the center of the array. As its Sugar Coated Palm struck the ground, thirty Frost Chains burst forth from the dungeon, suspending the Elders attempting to cast spells upside down beneath the Blood Star Map.
Leonard's cloak, embroidered with dark Jin Wen decorations, was suddenly torn by an Ice Butterfly Swarm, creating a Black Hole. The sheen in Lord's Pupil rapidly dimmed. "Stop!" His Fingertip transformed into a giant python made of black mist that lunged at Luna but was pierced through Seven Inches by an Ice Butterfly shot from Qin Si’s Collarbone.
The maid staggered to support herself against the Ice Crystal Long Table, and beneath her Skirt spread out Frost Flower veins identical to Aelia’s.
"So Sister Qian Si is Mother’s..." Luna’s Violet Pupil suddenly reflected scenes from Blizzard Night—Aelia pressed Ice Rose Petals against the dying girl's Heart as Frost Flower bloomed along her Bloodline, forming an Ice Butterfly Mark.
The doll's exclamation was drowned out by the sound of explosions from the Dome as eighteen Family Crests began to devour each other.
The Second Brother's binding chains suddenly snapped. His palm, covered in burn marks, pressed against the Star Pattern Stone on his Wheelchair Armrest. "Sister, the Blood Alliance Oath's focal point is..." Before he could finish his sentence, the Chief Elder’s remaining Serpent Scales suddenly elongated and transformed into blades aimed at his elder brother on the Wheelchair.
"Big Brother, catch!" Luna threw fragments of a Bronze Box stained with Dragon Blood.
The Blue Light of the Eternal Frozen Realm collided with fragments, casting a totem on the Ground that depicted the First Generation Fortress Master and the Ice Jiao Ren swearing an oath. In the hollow eye sockets of the Jiao Ren, the soul crystal of the Eighteen Families' girl was distinctly settled.
Suddenly, the Ice Crystal Throne flipped entirely, and Aelia fell into the pearl formation arranged by Luna.
When the little hand of the milk doll pressed against her Heart, the Ice Rose's roots suddenly sprouted new shoots with Barbed thorns, pinning Leonard's Palm to the Ice Crystal Armrest.
"Does Father smell the scent of Blood Sacrifice?" Luna stuffed shards of Star Pattern Stone into the teeth of the Jiao Ren Relief, and the girl’s ghost, consumed three hundred years ago, suddenly manifested.
Their translucent Fingertips brushed across the faces of the elders present, burning scars against their weathered skin that fought against the Serpent Scale Mark.
Black mist around Lucius's Neck suddenly coalesced into Entity Chains, dragging him toward the dungeon.
At that moment, Brother San's Astrological Compass completed its Star Map assembly, and the Frost Chains binding the Twelve Elders let out simultaneous screams—the Blood Contract emerging from their backs was inscribed with their daughter Ailya's Birthday Rune as a Sacrifice Document.
"Before Tomorrow's Twilight..." Luna leaped and tore off Qin Si's Waist jade pendant, pressing it, coated in Sugar Coating, onto the center of the Blood Contract.
As the pendant revealed an Image of Aelia in her youth, the milk doll’s laughter resonated with the howls deep within the dungeon: "Luna wants to show Uncle a more entertaining trick!"
The entire Magic Castle suddenly shook violently as eighteen towers erupted with Ice Blue Light Columns simultaneously.
In that instant when Aelia's Ice Rose fully bloomed, all the daughters under their Family Crest suddenly felt a heart-pounding sensation and collapsed. The Frost Flower blooming in their Pupils resonated with Luna's Star Pattern Stone in Hand.
