Luna's eyelashes were stained with Lacrima as she gasped in Aelia's embrace.
She fixated on Qin Si's cuff, embroidered with silver canaries, as the deep blue Nightingale Pollen fell in delicate cascades from the fabric's folds—twenty chapters ago, a foreshadowing buried in the Northern Cedar forest was finally breaking ground at this moment.
"Ugh..." The infant suddenly grabbed Qin Si's dangling Pi Bo, pressing a palm still warm from the magic circle against the inner side of her wrist.
This was an emergency communication technique recorded in Volume Three of Magic Pattern Knowledge. Luna bit through her swollen gums with her tongue, mixing saliva tinged with Blood Vein to stain the silk with a dark red totem.
Qin Si recoiled as if shocked, but gasped when she recognized the pattern.
It was the family crest from the bottom of Aelia's dowry chest. Last year, Lady Winter Night had taught her to embroider the Midnight handkerchief and had said, "If you see this pattern, it is as if you hear my fate."
"Does the young lady want me to find the Lord?" The maid's voice trembled, her wrist where the infant had touched glowing with an eerie Aelia Pearl White, resonating with the lingering Mediation Array in the Study Room Dome.
Luna nodded slowly, her Liuli-colored pupils reflecting the blood moon outside—the Magic Fortress Barrier would rotate in just three quarters of an hour. If they couldn't act before the Lunar Eclipse...
The infant suddenly coughed violently, splattering Evening Primrose Juice mixed with milk onto Qin Si's skirt.
The luminous green liquid spontaneously congealed into Blood Arrows, pointing directly toward the Astrology Platform at the end of the corridor.
As the clock tower chimed its seventh deep toll, Qin Si finally lifted her skirt and dashed into the night, her shoes adorned with Magic Crystals striking sparks against the Peacock Stone Tiles.
"The lady has not eaten for three days." Luna watched Qin Si disappear around the turn of the Spiral Staircase, letting out a sob like a kitten with her still-developing vocal cords.
She curled up among the pile of parchment that Aelia had reviewed last night, watching Leonard's Dark Cloak swirl in with Wind and Snow as he entered the study.
The cracks in the Magic Crystal atop the Lord's Scepter had deepened.
As he crouched down, Luna caught a whiff of strong tequila mingled with the scent of Northern Territory moss—this was precisely what Leonard's Concubine fed to her beloved Blood Butterflies.
"Do you also think I am unforgivable?" Leonard lightly tapped the baby Mei Xin with the Scepter, which had three deep cracks, as the Dark Purple Magic Pattern flickered briefly on Luna's forehead.
This was a variant of high-level mind-reading. Luna allowed him to glimpse her carefully woven Memory Fragments: at the wedding twenty years ago, Aelia wore Pearl Earrings as she pinned the Family Crest Brooch on him; ten years ago, when Dong Lian was ambushed, his wife used a Healing Spell to block a Poison Arrow but suffered a miscarriage of their Eldest Son.
Suddenly, the Scepter emitted a crisp sound, and another fragment of Magic Crystal fell onto Luna's swaddling blanket.
Lord Bloodshot's eyes were fixed on the remaining Red Glow of the Mediation Array. The Gold Dust suspended in the air began to reconstruct the scene of Aelia's miscarriage that night—he should have been waiting in the Medical Room but instead was drinking Moonlight Wine with Leonard's Concubine at the Northern Territory border.
"She always said I was suffocating like a violent Wind and Snow." Leonard wiped away the Milk Stain from Luna's eye with his fingertip, a habitual gesture that caused a sharp pain in the baby's heart.
It was mentioned in Chapter Thirty-Five of the Original that this gentle action was developed during his passionate relationship with Aelia. "But back then, she clearly taught me how to use Wind Magic to lift snowflakes."
Luna suddenly grabbed his pinky finger and bit down lightly with her Milk Tooth at the spot where the Wedding Ring would be placed, leaving a shallow Tooth Mark.
This was a secret signal that marked the bond between the male and female leads in "Breaking the Game." When she felt Leonard's muscles stiffen for an instant, she immediately giggled to cover up the anomaly.
Sure enough, tears glimmered in Lord's eyes as the Scepter struck the Ground, sending ripples of memories through time.
In the magical illusion, Aelia's youthful appearance emerged.
She twirled in the rose garden, holding a skirt adorned with Xing Hui, crafting an everlasting Lapel Pin for her beloved from ice crystals.
Leonard's Last Night suddenly twisted into the scene from their wedding night. As Leonard personally placed Pearl Earrings on his bride, a Secret Letter hidden in his sleeve accidentally slipped out—it was a Blood Pact Copy he was forced into with an Outsider Family through Marriage.
"You should have told my wife the truth back then." Luna conveyed her words through Awareness, her baby Pupils shimmering with the unique Yin Hui of a Great Mage.
She deliberately infused this statement with Healing Magic, causing the Ice Cracks in Leonard's Staff to begin healing slowly.
Lord suddenly stumbled back, knocking over the Bronze Candlestick, the burning Wax pooling on the Ground to form a Northern Territory Map.
When he realized that the location symbolizing the Outsider Family's territory was completely covered in Wax, a guttural Sobbing escaped his throat: "I broke her Ice Crystal Staff with my own hands... on that snowy night when she discovered Daisy's existence."
Luna suddenly began to Cough violently, and what surged from her throat was no longer milk, but shimmering Magic Particles.
These Light Spots automatically arranged themselves into a Celestial Chart—the very trajectory of the Lunar Eclipse that was about to occur tonight.
Two quarters of an hour had passed since Qin Si left, and a sudden sharp sound of shattering Crystal Vessel echoed from the end of the corridor.
"The lady said..." Qin Si stumbled into the study, her Moonstone Hairpin splitting in two, "that if Lord is longing for Leonard's Concubine's tender embrace, he might as well carve out her heart as a Token of Love!"
Luna's Pupil constricted sharply.
She clearly saw the Nightingale Pollen lingering on Qin Si's pinky glowing; those Ashen Totems that should have dissipated in the Mediation Array were now crawling up the Maid's Blood Vessel along her neck.
The Guardian Charm on the infant's chest vibrated again, channeling its last power into the Marriage Contract Fragment she clutched—Aelia's handwritten Signature suddenly oozed blood, coalescing in midair into a half-broken heart-shaped gem.
Luna's Fingertip glimmered with a faint Silver Light as the Milk Stain-covered Marriage Contract Fragment began to levitate.
The infant pressed her still-open fontanelle against Qin Si's trembling Hand Back, causing the Ashen Totems spreading along the Blood Vessel to instantly fade to a translucent state—finally revealing their true purpose after being buried in Cedar Forest twenty chapters ago.
"Sister Maid's pinky..." Luna conveyed through Awareness in a Child's Voice wrapped in crystalline echoes, "is it covered in Lady Daisy's Blood Butterfly Scale Powder?"
Qin Si was startled and knocked over a Crystal Bottle filled with Moonlight Grass Juice, causing Lavender Liquid to stain the Ground and create another Northern Territory Map.
Luna noticed that the area representing the Outsider Family's territory was flashing with a Red Dot, perfectly overlapping with the region she had previously covered in Wax.
In the swaddling blanket, a few strands of Gold Thread floated out, piecing together the scattered glass shards into a mirror.
In the mirror, an image emerged of Leonard being forced to sign a Blood Pact.
The fifteen-year-old Lord was chained to the altar, while an elder from the Outsider Family pressed Daisy's hand against his chest, where the Family Crest lay.
Luna deliberately enlarged the floating parchment, on which the Contract written in Dragon Blood clearly stated, "On every full moon, we must share Moonlight Wine."
"So that's why the Lord goes to the Northern Territory every time..." Qin Si covered her mouth as a liquid resembling Xing Hui seeped from the broken part of her Hairpin.
These Memory Fragments, which were supposed to appear twenty chapters later, were now being forcibly injected into her Awareness through Luna's Guardian Charm.
The traces of Aelia Pearl White on the Maid's Wrist suddenly turned Ice Blue, identical to the color of the curtains in the Medical Room on the night of Aelia's miscarriage.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grabbed her blood-stained hem: "What you think is betrayal, Madam, is actually the Lord masking the scent of the Blood Pact with Tequila." The baby's Pupil reflected Aelia sitting alone in the high tower; those torn Mediation Arrays and Remnant Pages transformed into Ice Butterflies that fluttered around her. "Sister is heading to West Terrace now; she should still be able to find the Betrayal Letter Lady Daisy sent last month."
Outside, the blood moon had already consumed two-thirds of its form when Luna's Pearl Necklace around her Neck suddenly shattered.
The Magic Artifacts from Aelia's pregnancy with Leonard turned into Glow Powder, outlining a complete Messaging Array on her Qian Si Skirt.
As the last two pearls rolled into the Bronze Candlestick, the baby's Milk Tooth bit through a finger, drawing three runes in the air.
"Please tell Madam..." Luna's voice mingled with the eighth roar of the clock tower. "The Lord's Study holds a Full Moon Gift prepared for Eldest Son hidden within Ankeli."
The Skirt Qin Si lifted was suddenly frozen by frost, and the Gold Dust that had dissipated with the Mediation Array reassembled in her hair.
As the Maid turned, she knocked over Li Jing adorned with Magic Crystals; the cracks in the mirror coincidentally formed Aelia's favorite violet pattern from her youth.
Luna watched her figure disappear into the Spiral Staircase, pressing her palm, dusted with Magic Particles, against her heart.
The bloodstains on the Marriage Contract Fragment suddenly seemed to come alive, swirling as the infant's palm formed half of an Ice Crystal Key.
This was the key item to unlock the secret passage in the Original's seventy-eighth chapter, yet it appeared here at the mediation scene twenty years early.
Luna heard the crisp sound of Ice Layer shattering in the corridor, realizing that Aelia had finally unleashed her Ice Magic.
Leonard's Scepter struck the ground, sending ripples through the air, and those Xing Hui that had dissipated with the Memory Illusion suddenly reignited.
From within Lord Dark Cloak's Dark Pattern, Silver Threads seeped out, automatically weaving into the apology letter that Aelia should have sent on the night of her miscarriage.
Luna noticed that his left pinky finger bore an Ice Crystal Ring—the love seal secretly crafted after being burned by Blood Pact and Ailina's Burn at their wedding banquet.
"Madam said..." Qin Si's tearful shout came from the terrace, "that the Moonlight Wine cellar on the Northern Territory border should be dismantled!"
Luna expelled the Magic Particles she had been holding, and these Light Spots immediately adhered to Leonard's Scepter and the Ice Cracks.
When Lord was shocked to find that the Magic Crystal began to self-repair, the infant suddenly let out a clear laugh.
The Blood Pact Copies floating in the air spontaneously ignited, revealing from the Ashes a letter of contract termination written by Lady Daisy herself.
As Aelia's Ice Crystal Staff pierced through the Study Room Dome, Luna summoned her last strength to push Qin Si toward the center of the Mediation Array.
The Moonstone fragments in the Maid's hair suddenly reformed into a Communication Crystal, projecting Leonard's treasured Full Moon Gift from twenty years ago onto the ice wall—a cloak for an infant embroidered with a Star-Moon Pattern, its lining stitched with Gold Thread reading "To our Eldest Son."
"It only needs to convey three sentences..." Luna's awareness began to blur, but she still strained to tug at Qin Si's Pi Bo.
She gazed out at the blood moon, now only a silver rim, and with her Milk Tooth, she bit into the palm of her hand to create the pattern of Evening Primrose. "Just say that the Ice Crystal Key is..."
The baby's babbling was suddenly swallowed by a Magic Turbulence.
When Qin Si burst out of the study, holding the Automatic Repair Marriage Certificate, Luna's last sight was Leonard picking up the Ice Crystal Key.
The Lord's cracked Wedding Ring finger suddenly oozed starlight, casting three unfinished Magic Runes onto the ground.
Leonard's Scepter traced three Ice Crystal Arcs on the ground, and those suspended Xing Hui suddenly coalesced into three diamond-shaped symbols. "Please inform the lady," the Lord's voice carried the unique rasp of the Northern Territory's Cold Wind, as Gold Thread seeped from the Dark Pattern of his Dark Cloak. "The first message: this year, the Ice Sculpture Brooch in the Southeast Corner of the rose garden has bloomed Forget-Me-Nots."
Qin Si's wrist Messaging Array suddenly heated up, and the first diamond symbol automatically embedded itself into her Moonstone Bracelet.
Luna noticed that the Maid's pinky finger twitched slightly at the Ashen Totem; those Nightingale Pollen that should have dissipated were climbing up her frost-frozen skirt.
"The second message," Leonard lightly tapped his Scepter with his cracked Wedding Ring finger, and shards of Magic Crystal refracted images of Aelia during her pregnancy with Lucius. "On that day when I changed the Medical Room curtains to Ice Blue, I buried an apology letter for Eldest Son on the terrace." The second symbol transformed into Liuguang, diving into Qin Si's hairpin made of pearls, where its tip suddenly exuded a liquid resembling Star Sand, forming a miniature Northern Territory Map on the ground.
Luna suddenly grasped Qin Si's Pi Bo; traces of Evening Primrose Juice were left by the baby's Milk Tooth on the silk.
The bright green liquid was supposed to indicate a safe passage but now twisted bizarrely into patterns resembling Blood Butterflies and Scale Powder.
The Maid gently patted the swaddled baby, her sleeves embroidered with silver canaries brushing against the baby's nose—twenty chapters ago, the concentration of Nightingale Pollen had exceeded three times its limit.
"And finally..." The Lord removed his gloves, revealing traces of Ailina's Burn on his pinky Ice Crystal Ring. "Please take a look at Eldest Son's Full Moon Gift Lining Embroidered Shoes." The third diamond symbol transformed into Ice Mist enveloping Qin Si entirely; her dark skirt's Magic Circle suddenly reversed rotation, drawing in the remaining Gold Dust from the Mediation Array deep into its folds.
Luna's pupils abruptly constricted.
On the underdeveloped retina of the baby, reflected was Qin Si’s nape gradually forming a Blood Butterfly Mark—this was precisely the mark that signified Leonard's Concubine Daisy controlling Eye Shadow in Chapter Forty-Two of Original.
She swung her small hand, wrapped around the Marriage Contract Fragment, desperately trying to draw the Warning Charm with Magic Particles, but was gently grasped by Qin Si, who misunderstood her actions as a display of affection.
"Don't worry, my Lord." The Maid curtsied, and as she did, the Hairpin fell, causing Star Sand to scatter on the Ground, forming a direction for the Error Blood Arrow. "I will engrave every word into the Memory Crystal." Suddenly, the Family Crest Brooch on her chest emitted an untimely warm glow, melting the frost lingering in the mediation room into a Seven-colored Dewdrop infused with the scent of Tequila.
Luna's Loud Cry was drowned out by the sudden violent Wind and Snow that swept through the corridor.
As Qin Si carried her through the Emerald Corridor adorned with Ice Spikes, the infant noticed that the crushed ice crystals beneath the Maid's feet concealed translucent Blood Butterfly Larvae.
These creatures, which were not supposed to appear until twenty chapters later, were now hatching rapidly in response to the residual warmth of the Mediation Array.
"Sister Qian Si is actually acting as a negotiator?" The Round-Faced Maid guarding the palace door knocked over a Silver Plate filled with herbs, causing Violet Root Sap to seep out in suspicious Spider Web patterns on the Ice Surface.
Luna's nostrils were suddenly filled with the sweet and cloying scent of Blood Butterfly Scale Powder. She saw that the little maid's hidden left hand was gripping Lady Daisy's distinctive Emerald Bell.
The moment Qin Si straightened his Back and crossed the threshold, all of the Ice Crystal Lamps in the Palace Dome suddenly extinguished.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Staff emitted an Eerie Blue Glow in the darkness, illuminating the torn Magic Circle Diagram papers scattered across the floor—each fragment inscribed with Leonard's name, marked with blood-red crosses written in a script laced with Ice Shards.
"He said..." Just as Qin Si began to speak, he was knocked to the ground by a howling Ice Storm, and three Memory Symbols shot out from his jewelry.
Luna was horrified to see that the edges of the symbols were turning black, as if they had been gnawed by Blood Butterflies like a Magic Scroll.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings suddenly exploded, and a milky-white magical barrier enveloped the infant securely.
Through a crack in the barrier, Luna saw that Qin Si's Pupil was glowing with a unique crimson hue characteristic of Blood Butterflies. The Maid's Fingertip, stained with Nightingale Pollen, pressed down on the first Memory Symbol—
"Do you know..." Qin Si's voice suddenly blended with Daisy's characteristic lazy intonation, "the Ice Sculpture Brooch in the Southeast Corner of the rose garden hides a Bond of Blood for Lady Daisy?" A terrified Sobbing escaped Luna's throat as the swaddling containing the Marriage Contract Fragment began to seep Ice Blue Bloodstain.
The infant's pupil reflected Qin Si's nape—where the Blood Butterfly Mark was gradually materializing, transforming into scarlet butterfly wings that pierced the skin.
"What did you say?" Aelia's Ice Crystal Staff suddenly erupted with a cold light, freezing the Xingyue drapes hanging from the Palace Dome in an instant.
Luna saw Lady Aelia Pearl White's Ailya's White Nails oozing Ice Shard, the signs of a violent outburst that should have appeared twenty chapters later now climbing along her trembling fingertip.
Qin Si's fingertip, stained with Nightingale Pollen, pressed against the second Memory Symbol.
Lady Daisy's Emerald Bell suddenly pierced through the ice wall: "The apology letter from the Medical Room... actually buried with the Illegitimate Daughter's Golden Hair!" The Maid's pupil turned completely Blood Red, and a Moonstone Hairpin that had snapped in her hair suddenly oozed Tequila.
Luna bit through her Milk Tooth.
A Blood Pearl mixed with magic shot towards Aelia's Pearl Earrings Remains, and the milky barrier suddenly refracted a Seven-Colored Halo—this was the Truth Manifestation Spell recorded in the Original's sixty-second chapter, a Forbidden Spell unleashed by the infant with all its magical power.
Emerging from the Halo was Qin Si’s figure from Three Days Ago.
The Maid, in the shadows of the Northern Territory Emerald Corridor, received the Emerald Bell handed over by Daisy Maid.
The Nightingale Pollen that should have dissipated suddenly came alive, drilling into her nostrils along her Pi Bo.
Luna deliberately magnified Leonard's Last Night: inside the bell, Blood Butterfly Scale Powder was inscribed with "Full Moon Night" in Ancient Demon Script.
"Sister's pinky..." Luna transmitted a Child's Voice wrapped in Ice Blade through Awareness, and a Marriage Contract Fragment suddenly spun and sliced through Qin Si's Pi Bo.
Beneath the bloodstained Fabric, a Blood Crystal Stone was embedded at the joint of the Maid's pinky—exactly what Lady Daisy used to control the Puppet.
Aelia's Scepter suddenly changed direction.
The wind and snow surged, carrying ice spikes that aimed at Qin Si's heart, only to bizarrely melt into poison upon touching the Blood Butterfly Mark.
Luna's Guardian Charm emitted a fragile sound, on the verge of shattering, as the infant struck the ground with a palm covered in Magic Particles.
"Crack—"
A Bronze Candlestick suddenly rose from the crevice of the Peacock Stone Tiles, and burning wax automatically coalesced into the figure of Leonard.
The Lord held the Ice Crystal Key in his left hand while raising the head of an elder from the Outsider Family in his right.
The holographic image's throat was slit open, and Luna deliberately made the wound resemble an old scar from twenty years ago.
"Madam, please look!" Luna's Awareness shouted, shattering the Crystal Window of the chamber.
A fierce wind swept in with snowflakes, shredding Daisy's Emerald Bell sound into fragments.
The blood-stained swaddling of the infant released Gold Thread, connecting the wax image to the Blood Butterfly Mark on Qin Si's nape—both remnants of Magical Fluctuation perfectly matched.
Aelia's Ice Blue Eyes suddenly constricted.
In the ice crystals that exploded from the top of the Scepter, scenes from the night of her miscarriage were reflected: Leonard, covered in blood, burst through the Medical Room door, cradling a torn Blood Pact Copy.
Within the Lord's Dark Cloak, hints of severed fingers belonging to an elder of the Daisy family were faintly revealed.
"The third sentence..." Luna used her last strength to tug at the Marriage Contract Fragment.
The Messaging Array of Qian Si Skirt suddenly reversed, spewing out the absorbed Gold Dust toward the ice wall.
The Infant Cloak, adorned with the Star-Moon Pattern, automatically pieced itself together, its Gold Thread lining emerging amidst the Wind and Snow, revealing an Encrypted Rune.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly floated in midair.
Milky white light particles drilled into the Gap of the Encrypted Rune, gradually unveiling the second line obscured by magic: "To our unborn angel—Ailya Starlight Eternal."
The moment the Scepter slipped from the lady's Palm, all the ice crystals in the chamber shattered simultaneously.
Luna saw Aelia's Ear Emerging from the Frost Totem—an omen of the Magic Surge mentioned in Chapter Fifty of the Original.
The infant struggled to crawl toward the pile of shattered ice, using a bloodied Marriage Contract Fragment to cut into her Palm.
The Track of the Blood Pearl suddenly froze.
Leonard's Ice Crystal Key pierced through a Space Rift and appeared, precisely catching Aelia before she could hit the ground.
The Tooth Mark of the key perfectly meshed with the Ice Cracks indicated by the Lord's Wedding Ring, unleashing a Silver Light that illuminated Qin Si's nape—where the Blood Butterfly Mark was transforming into crystalline form.
"Luna..." Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the blood-stained swaddling of the infant, and the raging Ice Magic suddenly wrapped around her gently.
From within the lady's Neck Frost Totem, a small Star Moon Birthmark, about the size of a baby's palm, faintly Emerged.
