The refracted Silver Light intertwined into a starry web within the Palace Dome, as Lyria fell, her cascading silver hair entangling with the tail end of the key carved with a Snowy Owl.
Luna was thrown into the shards of Ice Spike, a blood-stained fragment of the Marriage Certificate landing precisely at the broken edge of Aelia's Pearl Necklace.
"Mother!" Lucius crashed through the frozen Carved Door, his Magic Pattern Boots crushing the scattered Ice Shards beneath him.
The Violet flames erupting from the tip of the boy's wand scorched Qin Si's neck, where the Ice Butterfly Mark was transforming.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grasped the floating Pearl Remains, her delicate baby fingers smeared with blood as she drew the Dispel Magic Pattern that had only appeared in Original Chapter 372 on the Ice Surface.
As the seventh Blood Pearl seeped into Aelia's Ear, the Frost Totem erupted, and Wind and Snow suddenly coalesced into a Crystal Curtain—each ice crystal reflecting Leonard's Last Night from different timelines.
"Aelia, look!" Luna activated the Memory Fragments within the Pearl Remains with magic, her Lullaby Voice enveloping the crisp sounds of Ice Spike collisions. "Father placed the Snowy Owl Brooch on Leonard's Concubine's child during the Star Moon Festival!"
Within the icy veil of Leonard's Last Night, Leonard pressed the Ice Crystal Key of the Magic Castle Inheritance against the bulging belly of the Outsider Woman.
Aelia staggered to grasp the shattered Ice Crystal Throne's armrest; her Wedding Ring, which she had given to her husband, glimmered on his ring finger—set with a Sapphire adorned with Wind and Snow, now worn by the Outsider Woman.
"Madam, watch out!" Qin Si suddenly lunged forward, his neck’s Ice Butterfly flapping and stirring up Frost Mist that concealed Leonard's Outsider Family's unique Iris Pollen.
Luna immediately became aware that this maid had been swapped out in Original; the bloodied swaddling cloth suddenly wrapped around Aelia's trembling Wrist.
Clang—
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly shattered completely, 108 pearls rolling across the Ice Surface, tracing out a cursed Magic Array's Track.
Luna recognized that this was the curse placed on the Eldest Son by Leonard's Concubine in the Original, and immediately bit her tongue, spraying out Blood Mist.
Baby Blood mixed with Ice Magic, rewriting the Pearl Array into a Prewarning Totem.
"Mother, these pearls were meant to be in my brother's Magic Potion." Luna sliced her palm with an Ice Spike, and the Blood Pearl condensed on the Ice Surface into a Three-Dimensional Projection of the Magic Castle Cellar. "Last month, Father said he would repair the Cellar with Cedar Wood, but in reality, he was hiding Leonard's Concubine's Alchemy Laboratory there!"
Lucius's wand suddenly turned toward the window. "Father is back!"
Leonard's Ice Crystal Staff pierced through the Triple Barrier but transformed into Xue Shui upon touching Aelia.
The Lord looked in shock at his wife, whose Ear fully revealed the Frost Totem—what should have awakened at thirty years old from the Starshine Family's Secret Pattern was now being outlined by Luna's blood into a Sealing Array.
"Aelia, let me explain..." Leonard reached out to touch the floating Marriage Contract Fragment but was cut by the suddenly awakened Pearl Array, injuring his palm.
One hundred eight pearls shone with Ice Blue Flame, burning away the Jasmin Silk that Leonard's Concubine had swapped.
Aelia picked up the bloodied Luna, and a Mage-level Healing Spell surged from her fingertip. "Twenty years ago, when you sent me the Snowy Owl for its courtship dance, you didn’t mention that the Ice Crystal Key could also open someone else's birthing chamber."
With a thunderous crash, the Ice Crystal Throne collapsed as Luna quietly stuffed the blood-stained fragment of the Marriage Certificate into the Earth Rift.
The pure Baby Blood wrapped in Ice Magic drew a Transmission Array leading directly to her brother's study in the Underground—those Warning Lights transformed from the cursed pearls were crawling along the Ice Spike toward the Eldest Son in the East Tower.
As Aelia's tears fell onto Luna’s Mei Xin, the entire Magic Castle's Geomancy suddenly shifted.
The Lord attempted to touch his wife with the Contract Ring, only to find that the Marriage Contract Mark of the Star-Moon Pattern had already transferred into the Dark Pattern of the Infant Swaddling.
At the moment the Frost Totem fully formed, Luna heard the crisp sound of a crystal ball shattering from the East Tower.
Fragments of Ice Spike refracted the Sevenfold Phantom under the moonlight. Luna gazed at the Ice Blue Halo blooming in the direction of the East Tower, knowing that her elder brother had received the message from the Transmission Array.
The infant's delicate fingers curled slightly, and a Resonant Tremor unique to the Starry Bloodline echoed from deep within Geomancy.
"The Young Master's Wheelchair is crossing the Mirror Corridor!" The true voice of Qin Si suddenly emerged from behind the icy curtain. Her Silver Gray Hair Tips were stained with Han Qi from the Ice Cellar. "Third Young Master Lucius, be careful! Leonard's Concubine's Alchemical Puppet is melting the Peacock Stone Tiles!"
Lucius immediately waved his wand, spreading Frost Web across the ground of the chamber, as Violet Flame spread along the Track scorched by the Ice Crystal Key.
Aelia retreated to the center of the Star Pattern Totem while holding Luna. The Frost Secret Pattern on her ear resonated with her Eldest Son's Bloodline Restriction.
"Mother, I’m sorry you have to see such an ugly truth..." Her brother's raspy voice came from the Ice Surface.
The Wheelchair creaked over the frosted Peacock Stone Tiles. His thin right hand pressed against a crack in the crystal ball, and a Dark Red Backlash Magic Pattern faded along his forearm.
Suddenly, Luna emitted an urgent Yiya Sound, and the bloodied swaddling brought ice crystals together in midair to form a Warning Illustration—depicting a scene where her brother had forcefully used a Forbidden Technique to protect his Brothers in their Original form.
Aelia immediately condensed a Healing Spell into a Light Band that wrapped around her Eldest Son's wrist. "Colin, when you spoke of repairing the Northern Boundary Barrier, was it about the Star Trail’s direction...?"
"It was Father who replaced my Astrolabe with Leonard's Concubine's Alchemical Puppet." Her brother laughed bitterly as he tore open his collar, revealing an Iris Totem imprinted on his collarbone that matched that of the Outsider Family. "He said it would enhance ice sensitivity with this Magic Pattern, but it turned me into a Puppet for twenty years!"
Geomancy suddenly shook violently as Second Brother, wrapped around Han Wu, crashed through the Frozen Archway.
He had a broken Intimate Friend Badge hanging from his waist, and the Purple Black Liquid in the Magic Potion Bottle was corroding Leonard's Cloak, which bore the Family Crest. "I found this in the Alchemical Chamber." He threw down a parchment covered in Ice Crystal Shards, exclaiming, "Father authorized twenty boxes of Moonlight Stones for Leonard's Concubine in my name!"
Brother San stood silently in the shadows of the Carved Pillars, and the rusted wand in his hand suddenly glowed with a Red Glow.
Beneath his feet, the abandoned Starry Array from Seven Years Ago emerged, and the incomplete Frost Spell was being reignited by Luna's Bloodline Resonance. "Sister's swaddling is absorbing Xing Hui." He reached out to touch the floating ice crystals. "These should have been inscribed with the Guardian Spell on my wand..."
Leonard's Ailya's Roar suddenly pierced through the Triple Barrier, and the shrill laughter of the Outsider Woman mixed with the Roar of the Alchemical Puppet, causing Dome Ice Spikes to fall.
Luna suddenly grasped Aelia's Pearl Earrings, and within the baby's Pupil flowed a Star-Moon Pattern—this was a sign that the inheritance of the Starshine Family Head was beginning to transfer.
"Mother, let Brothers touch my swaddling." Luna used an Ice Spike to pierce her Fingertip and drew a Triangle Star Formation on Aelia's Palm. "Use Starshine Resonance to sever Father's Bloodline Control."
Eldest Brother's Wheelchair suddenly erupted with Ice Blue Light, and the Backlash Magic Pattern transformed into Xing Xu, dissipating into the air.
Second Brother's broken badge in hand automatically reassembled, revealing a true Warning Symbol drawn in blood by a dying friend.
Brother San's Rusty Wand shed its outer layer, revealing a Mithril Staff embedded with a Star Moon Gem inside—this was indeed the Fated Artifact foretold at his birth.
"It turns out my Astrolabe was never wrong." Eldest Brother stroked the crystal ball that regained its luster, as Ice Mist coalesced into a Star Trail around his Wheelchair. "The Aurora from Last Winter Solstice shifted because Father built a Dimensional Gate for Leonard's Concubine in the Northwest Tower."
Aelia suddenly handed Luna over to Lucius, and the Pearl Earrings automatically disassembled and reformed into a Starshine Longsword.
She lifted the Sword Tip to pierce the Marriage Contract Fragment, slicing through her Palm, as the Blood Pearl sketched a panoramic view of the Magic Castle on the Ice Surface. "Colin, use your Star Trail to locate Leonard's Concubine's laboratory; Allen, analyze the destination of the moonstones they smuggled; Kevin, cover the entire East Wing with your Guardian Spell."
As the three brothers' Magic Halo converged into the Xing Hui Family Crest beneath the Dome, Luna noticed a Frost Butterfly Mark flash across Lucius's cuff.
Suddenly, a baby grasped Leonard's Snowy Owl Brooch and exclaimed in a Baby Voice, "Brother San, teach me how to build a castle with ice crystals!"—a specific line from the Original where Lucius taught his sister to play.
The real Qin Si tumbled out of the Ice Mirror, clutching a blood-stained Snowdrop Embroidery in her hand, a token given by Aelia to her Personal Maid twenty years ago.
When the Old Maid trembled and pointed at Lucius's nape, Luna's swaddled form burst forth with dazzling starlight, perfectly obscuring the boy's suddenly Pale face.
Moonlight refracted by the Ice Crystal Dome condensed into frost on Qin Si's silver-gray eyelashes, while the knuckles of the Head Maid's fingers turned white as she gripped the Snowdrop Embroidery.
Upon seeing Aelia’s Ear Star Pattern stained by the Blood Pearl, she abruptly turned and swept the remaining Ice Shards of the Pearl Array into a Crystal Bottle.
"Madam, please allow me to open the Moonshadow Corridor of the Mirror Corridor." As Qin Si knelt, her Ice Blue Skirt spread like Frost Flowers, revealing a Star Moon Scar beneath her Collarbone that matched Lucius's wand pattern. "Twenty years ago, when you saved me from the Snow Wolf, I swore a Blood Oath to the Lunar Goddess."
Aelia’s Fingertip Healing Spell Light Band flickered slightly.
Luna noticed that the Snowdrop Emblem on the Head Maid's nape was seeping Ice Blue Liquid—traces of a Hemolytic Agent unique to the Starshine Family’s Shadow Guard in the Original.
The baby intentionally knocked over the Crystal Bottle, causing Ice Shards to form a Micro Star Tracker in Qin Si's Palm.
"The Ice Cracks on the third Pillar of the Mirror Corridor," Qin Si traced with her bloodied Fingertip along the Star Trail path, "hide Puppet Thread refined from moonstones by Leonard's Concubine."
Lucius suddenly emitted sparks as he stepped back, knocking over the Ice Crystal Candelabrum.
The Frost Butterfly Mark on his sleeve glowed with an eerie purple under the moonlight, resonating with Qin Si's Palm and the Star Chart Device.
Third Young Master Lucius lowered his gaze to hide the turbulent emotions swirling within him, the Beak of the Snowy Owl Brooch piercing his fingertip.
"Mother, let me check the Mirror Corridor." Lucius pressed his bloodied finger against the surface of the Ice Crystal Key, watching as the blood congealed into a Frost Flower within the Star Pattern Groove. "Last month, Father asked me to replicate the Pillar Magic Pattern. In hindsight, it does indeed carry the fluctuations of Puppet Technique."
Aelia was about to speak when Luna suddenly wrapped Lucius's bleeding wrist in a swaddling cloth.
The pure Ice Magic from the infant surged through the Starry Bloodline, freezing the Frost Butterfly Mark on his sleeve into an Ice Shard that fell away.
With a clinking sound, everyone saw half of the Outsider Woman's face sealed within the Ice Shard.
"Brother San's Potion Textbook, page 317," Luna drew a twisted symbol in the air with an Ice Spike. "Isn't it sandwiched with the Iris Bookmark that Father asked you to pass on?"
Lucius froze suddenly.
Memories surged forth like a released glacier—his Alchemy Notes that Father had placed by his pillow when he was four years old, the Frost Butterfly Brooch that had unexpectedly appeared in his Wand Box on a Winter Night at sixteen, and three days ago, that Violet-Eyed Woman kissing Father deep within the Mirror Corridor.
The boy suddenly knelt on one knee, enveloped by the Violet Flame blooming from the tip of his wand.
As the frost from Contract Backlash crept up his neck, Qin Si pressed Snowdrop Embroidery against the Star Moon Scar on his nape.
In the moment of explosive growth, everyone heard the faint sound of the Puppet Thread snapping.
"It turns out that Third Young Master Lucius was taken away by the Snow Wolf back then..." Qin Si trembled as he lifted Lucius's collar, revealing a tooth mark glowing with Xing Hui. "Someone manipulated the Snow Wolf Pack using Puppet Thread!"
From deep within the Geomancy, a roar echoed as the Ice Layer shattered. Leonard's Ailya's Roar surged forth, crashing through the palace's protective barrier with a violent wind and snow.
The Lord was surrounded by the Zi Wu of Leonard's Concubine in the Alchemical Chamber, and the Ice Crystal Key floating in his palm unexpectedly split into two branches.
"Aelia, the Starshine Family needs a stronger Bloodline!" Leonard swung his Scepter, shattering Qin Si's recently formed Star Chart Device. "That infant should never have been born; she will completely drain the Ice Crystal Leyline of Magic Castle!"
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry.
The Ice Pearl formed from the baby's tears rolled onto the Marriage Contract Fragment, astonishingly reconstituting the broken Iris into the Contract Terms of the year 397 in the Star Moon Calendar—this was Leonard's Loyalty Oath signed before marriage.
Aelia's fingertip lightly touched the Ice Pearl, and suddenly, the Contract Text transformed into chains that bound the Lord's wrist.
"A stronger Bloodline?" Aelia brushed her fingers over Luna's Mei Xin, which was gradually taking shape as a Star Moon Birthmark. "Are you referring to cursing your Eldest Son with Puppet Thread or mixing Iris Pollen into your Second Son's Magic Potion?"
Suddenly, the crystal ball projected a holographic image.
In Leonard's Last Night, Leonard was pressing the Ice Crystal Key against an Outsider Woman's pregnant belly, and the star pattern emerging on her abdomen was identical to that of the Magic Fortress Earth Vein Core.
The Magic Potion Bottle at Second Brother's waist automatically flew towards the image, and the liquid inside corroded the key projection into Puppet Thread.
"Father, last year you said the Dimensional Gate of the Northwest Tower was built for my Stargazing Observatory." The eldest brother maneuvered his Wheelchair, crushing the Puppet Thread Remains beneath the Peacock Stone Tiles. "In reality, it's a secret passage for transporting Moonlight Stones to Leonard's Concubine, isn't it?"
Leonard was surrounded by a whirlwind of Wind and Snow that suddenly halted. The Lord was shocked to discover that the Third Son's wand was pressed against his back.
Lucius's Ear bore the Star Moon Scar, shimmering with an Ice Blue Glimmer. The young man's voice was hoarse: "When I was ten, you gifted me a box containing Ailya's Birthday Rune, which hid a talisman woven from Puppet Thread."
The prongs of the Ice Crystal Key suddenly shattered, and Aelia's Pearl Earrings reformed into the Starshine Longsword.
As the Sword Tip lifted Leonard's Snowy Owl Emblem from his chest, everyone saw that the back of the badge was engraved with the name of the Illegitimate Daughter and Ailya's Birthday Rune—exactly aligned with the Star Trail on the day Luna was born.
"Ming Ri Chen Shi, Frost Hall." Aelia's Healing Spell abruptly transformed into an Ice Element Forbidden Spell, temporarily sealing Leonard within the Palace Dome's Star Pattern Array. "Qin Si, fetch my Starry Moon Sash."
The Head Maid immediately cut her Wrist, using her blood to draw a Teleportation Circle on the Ice Surface.
As Twelve Rays and Ice Prism rose from the Underground, Luna saw different periods of Aelia reflected in each mirror—A twenty-year-old bride caressing her Pregnant Belly, a twenty-five-year-old Mother sleeplessly holding Lucius through a High Fever, and a thirty-year-old Lady of the Fortress carving a Guardian Spell into the ice crystal Earth Vein Core.
"Mother..." The three brothers reached out to touch the Ice Prism simultaneously. Within the Halo of Starshine Resonance, they saw Aelia's Ear totem projecting a panoramic view of Magic Castle onto the Dome.
The frost-covered East Wing Tower suddenly lit up with seven Star Lanterns; it was an Ancient Signal for an Emergency Meeting called by the Starshine Family.
Luna's swaddling cloth fluttered without wind as the infant used blood to draw an incomplete Star-Moon Crest on the Ice Surface.
When the final stroke resonated with Aelia's Starshine Longsword, the entire sleeping chamber's Peacock Stone Tiles suddenly became transparent.
The crowd gasped as they realized that what surged from the depths of the Geomancy was not ice crystals, but Purple-Black Puppet Silk, writhing madly towards the Dimensional Gate of the Northwest Tower.
Qin Si suddenly pressed the Snowdrop Embroidery onto the center of the Teleportation Circle. The scene from Leonard's Last Night, twenty years ago, emerged within the Ice Mist: the newlywed Aelia, with her pregnant belly, pressed the Ice Crystal Key into Leonard's palm. Inside the wedding ring on his ring finger was engraved the Family Crest of the Outsider Family.
The Ice Crystal Key let out a mournful cry at the focal point, and Luna seized the opportunity to shove the blood-stained Marriage Contract Fragment into the keyhole.
As the Star-Moon Pattern crawled across Leonard's Ice Sealing Barrier, Aelia cradled her baby and walked towards the Ice Prism Cluster. The icy traces left by her Alyia Pearl Skirt quietly seeped into the Geomancy... Aelia's fingers brushed over the Crystal Frame, and in the mirror appeared Luna's delicate little face.
Amidst the baby's Yin Ling-like laughter, ripples suddenly spread across the moonlight outside. Luna's chubby palm pressed against the mirror surface, and starlike Light Spots spilled from her fingertip.
"Madam!" Qin Si's hand, holding a Silver Tea Tray, trembled violently, causing the Rose Tea in the Ceramic Cup to sway dangerously.
The mirror rippled like a lake disturbed by a stone, gradually revealing Leonard's figure—he was pinning a Peacock Feather Brooch into the hair of a Strange Woman. The amethyst set in that brooch was unmistakably from the same source as Aelia's treasured Wedding Ring.
Luna reached out to grasp Aelia's Pearl Necklace, her Mage-level perception piercing through the swaddling cloth.
As Aelia bent down due to the tugging of the necklace, the warm breath of her baby brushed against her earlobe: "West Tower, Third Tile."
"What?" Aelia straightened up as if struck by lightning, only to see her pale reflection in Luna's clear pupils.
The baby suddenly laughed, chubby fingers pointing at an owl that flew past outside—the very messenger Magic Pet trained by Leonard.
Suddenly, the moonlight was obscured by Wu Yun.
The tea cup finally fell from Qin Si's hand, and in the moment the porcelain shattered, Luna quietly crushed the Illusion Grass hidden in her Diaper.
Magic Dust coalesced in the air into Leonard's Xu Ying, pressing the Family Crest onto Leonard's Concubine's Palm—an imprint only granted by the Heir of the Magic Castle.
"Third Young Master Lucius just sent over the newly made Rose Essence..." Lucius's voice came from outside at that moment.
Aelia abruptly turned around, her Peacock Blue Sapphire hairpin brushing against Leng Guang. She gazed at her increasingly sharp Mei Yan in the mirror and suddenly recalled what Leonard had said on their wedding night while caressing this gem: "The Azure Peacock Stone can reflect a person's heart."
Luna's Silver Bracelet suddenly emitted a Qingyue Mingxiang, a Warning magic of Great Mage level.
Aelia felt a burning pain in her heart. When she tugged at her collar, she was shocked to discover a bluish Contract Seal emerging—her Same Life Curse was slowly fading.
"So all these years, he has been using the Same Life Curse to siphon my magic to nourish Leonard's Concubine." Aelia's Ailya's White Nails dug deeply into her Palm, and a drop of Blood Pearl fell onto Luna's Silver Thread Embroidered Shoes, instantly absorbed into a Dark Red pattern.
The baby in her arms suddenly let out a sigh-like murmur, and Aelia realized that the sound was eerily similar to the last sigh of the deceased Great Mage.
A roar suddenly erupted from the Cellar as her elder brother's Wheelchair overturned a shelf of Magic Reagents.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna waved her small hand, letting the dissipating Yao Wu spell out the Coordinate of Outer Chamber Manor in the air.
When Second Brother's S.O.S. Signal eagle crashed through the Colored Window and fell, the handwriting on the Magic Letter from her dear friend perfectly matched the Seal on the bracelet of the woman in the mirror.
