The Gilded Ring of Lucius transformed completely into Blue-Violet Shan Na, and suddenly, the crystal chandelier in Aelia's chamber exploded.
Shattered crystals floated in the Dark Rose Scent, refracting the halo of the Twelve Star Stones on Luna's Fetal Hair Necklace.
"Look, Mama." The infant wrapped in the Starry Moon Swaddle grasped the flowing ribbon of Aelia's Pearl Robe, her Emerald Eyes reflecting the suspended Crystal Fragments.
Those facets automatically assembled into Leonard's Last Night—the bulging belly of the Red-Haired Woman bore the mark of the Glorious Demon Fortress Family Crest, as Leonard pinned a bloodied Agave to her Ear.
The Iris Magic Mirror on Aelia's Grooming table emitted cracking sounds, and the pearls in the young woman's hair transformed into poisonous spiders. "Impossible..." She trembled as she grabbed Luna's Silver Bell, but the Stardust released upon impact coalesced into a Magic Contract Emblem—the very loyalty Curse Mark that Leonard had branded on his Collarbone when he said he would patrol the barrier last night.
The Stardust Contract was now entwined around the neck of the Red-Haired Woman.
Aelia suddenly vomited violet ice crystals, remnants of the eternal love potion that Leonard had fed her during his proposal.
The Twelve Zodiac Chart in the Palace Dome began to rotate counterclockwise, and Scorpio's poisonous needle suddenly pierced through Pisces' tail fin.
"Madam!" As Qin Si burst through Liujin Gate, he witnessed Aelia barefoot shattering ice crystals scattered across the floor.
The Lady of the Fortress's snow-white ankles blossomed with blood-colored Ice Roses with every step—a sign of a Great Mage Bloodline going berserk.
Luna suddenly let out a Loud Cry, and the starlight emitted from her Fetal Hair Necklace forcibly froze Aelia’s ankle where Ice Spikes had formed.
The sound of Liujin Leonard's Boots echoed from the Spiral Staircase. "Darling, the Observation Platform says tonight’s Star Trail..." Leonard’s feigned calm voice abruptly halted upon seeing the suspended crystal of Leonard's Last Night.
A black mist suddenly erupted from his Serpent Ring but shattered against Aelia’s instant Ice Spike barrier.
"Swear using the Ice-Sealing Oath Sword Technique I taught you." Aelia handed Luna to Qin Si and drew out a Wedding Sword used for decoration on the chamber wall.
Frost seeped through the air as Luna spoke, "That woman bearing the mark of Longyuan Marsh and Poison Fog does not have the blood of Nefarious Offspring flowing in her veins."
Suddenly, Leonard's neck emerged, revealing the Golden Magic Pattern—the truth spell branded during the family head's inheritance ceremony.
His lips moved uncontrollably, "Rosalind is..." Before he could finish, a surge of black mist erupted from Leonard's Sword, transforming into a Hydra that lunged at Luna.
The entire castle's Leyline Magic Circle let out a mournful wail.
"Ding—"
The sound of a wheelchair crushing Black Crystal echoed from the entrance.
Eldest Brother's pale fingers lightly tapped the amethyst array on the wheelchair armrest. His right hand, which should have been paralyzed due to Magic Backlash, firmly grasped the staff.
The Staff Tip, embedded with Family Legacy Ice Spirit Stone and Blue Light, glowed brightly, freezing the black mist Hydra into Stardust.
"Has Father forgotten?" Eldest Brother coughed as he wiped away an Ice Shard from his lips. The Backlash Burn Mark on his palm glowed with an eerie red light. "Last month, it was Luna's Starlight Power that helped me channel my magic." He turned his wheelchair over Leonard's fallen sword, and the Longan Stone embedded in the hilt suddenly reflected the scene from three years ago when the whole family celebrated Leonard's Last Night at the Stargazing Platform.
Leonard suddenly screamed, clutching his heart as the Household Master Ring emitted Hei Xue, which corroded the Protective Magic Rune beneath the carpet.
Luna's Fetal Hair Necklace suddenly flew towards Eldest Brother, and Twelve Star Stones arranged themselves around him to form an ancient Star Map.
As Second Brother's startled voice echoed from the Emerald Corridor, everyone saw Eldest Brother's wheelchair surrounded by a Magic Circuit that should have been destroyed by backlash.
"Mother, look!" Brother San rushed in, holding a shattered Star Observation Instrument. The lens refracted Leonard's Last Night in the Castle West Wing—blood was flowing from what should have been First Generation Fortress Master's Image Pupil in the Forbidden Book Pavilion, with a sword in hand pointing towards the Treasure Vault.
Aelia suddenly chuckled softly as Ice Crystal Roses crawled up the Liujin Window.
She inserted the Wedding Sword into the Earth Rift, and the entire castle trembled as the hilt emitted a resonance akin to Longyin. "Leonard, you infused the Honeyed Wine you brewed for me with Agave Night Dew fifteen years ago..." Frost spread from her skirt, forming a magical array. "You added Fallen Dream Pollen from the inverted Star Trail, didn't you?"
Luna's loud cry suddenly turned into giggles.
The silver bell clutched by the infant rolled into the Earth Rift, and a thunderous sound of chains breaking echoed from beneath the castle.
Second Brother steadied himself against the suddenly trembling Emerald Pillar, his fingertip unconsciously brushing over the old scar left by his friend’s betrayal—there, at that moment, it pulsed with a resonance matching that of Mother Ice Rose.
When the second roar of a breaking chain reverberated from underground, Second Brother staggered back a step, pressing down on his suddenly bleeding old wound.
He gazed at his distorted reflection in the corridor mirror; those betrayals that should have healed over ten years had reopened in a vivid crimson gap amidst the Cedar Fragrance blooming from Mother Ice Rose.
Second Brother stumbled against the pillar, and the emerald surface reflected his chest where the old wound gaped grotesquely.
The coldness from ten years ago when his friend’s Ice Crystal Sword pierced his heart resonated strangely with the Ice Rose blooming from Mother’s skirt at that moment.
He looked at the twisted reflection in the shards—his friend who had betrayed their pact amidst raging wind and snow, and Father’s neck adorned with an emerging Golden Magic Pattern eerily overlapped in his vision.
"So it turns out that all betrayers bear similar brands," he murmured to himself as he pressed down on the bleeding wound, frost spilling between his fingers to form the Snow Eagle Emblem on Leonard's Sword from years past.
Suddenly, the sleeping Ice Crystal Dragon in the corridor mural opened its right eye; its gaze reflected his taboo act of forcibly reversing the elemental magic array to save his friend on Leonard's Last Night.
The altered Magic Circuit was now replaying on Mother’s frozen Wedding Ring.
Brother San's trembling fingers brushed over the shattered lens of the Star Observation Instrument, and the inverted facets refracted the blood light towards the Treasure Vault into a twelve-pointed star.
He suddenly saw clearly in the mirror his dim Ice Soul Mark on his forehead—that was the glory ignited by Father when he awakened his Ice Affinity at eight years old.
The mark that symbolizes the Family Legacy was disintegrating into Stardust within the raging Frost Rune Array of Mother.
"The anomalies at the Observation Platform... the seals of the Treasure Vault..." He clenched the Lens tightly, allowing its sharp edges to pierce his Palm.
Blood Pearls mixed with ice crystals dripped onto the Magic Pattern of the carpet, triggering the Automatic Activation of the residual Guardian Power from the First Generation Fortress Master’s Image.
The sword energy that should have remained dormant in the Forbidden Book Pavilion for three hundred years surged toward the mark of the Demon Binding Shackles on his ankle, a remnant of the Talent Stabilizer that Father had tricked him into wearing after he became obsessed with Astrology at the age of twelve.
The Emerald Pillar suddenly exploded with Ice Mist, and from Brother San's tattered clothing emerged the Star Chart he had drawn at six years old.
He gazed at the "Family Glory Guardian Star" he had marked himself and let out a beast-like roar.
The sword energy, swirling with Ice Mist from the direction of the Treasure Vault, sliced through his ankle's Demon Binding Shackles into Powder.
The ten years of neglected cultivation were reflected in the ice crystals, and he saw every late night spent obsessed with Astrology, where Mother had been alone in her chamber, repairing the Guardian Barrier that Father had altered.
"Mother..." Brother San staggered toward the center of the Frost Rune Array. The shattered Star Observation Instrument Lens suddenly floated into a Star Shield. "This time, let me guard our family's true glory." The Ice Soul Mark on his forehead spun counterclockwise as he froze the Hei Xue corroded by Father's Leonard's Sword into a monument of repentance.
Qin Si retreated to the Liujin window with Luna, who was holding Loud Cry. The Ice Crystal Rose had already climbed halfway up her Sleeve.
When she saw Aelia's blood-colored Ice Rose blooming from her snow-white ankle seeping into the Earth Rift, this Personal Maid who had served Lady of the Fortress for Twenty Years suddenly tore off her Pearl Necklace from her Neck.
Eighteen round Ming Zhu exploded into powder in the Magic Flame, transforming into the Purification Spell Aelia had cast when she redeemed her from the slave market years ago.
"You said on the day you crowned me with an Ice Rose Crown..." The Ice Crystal Hairpin in Qin Si's hair suddenly swelled into a Knight's Sword. The sword's Twin Lotus Pattern hilt resonated with Aelia's Wedding Sword In Hand. "The pearls of Glorious Demon Fortress shall never gather dust!" She swung her sword to sever the dark Curse Chain that Leonard attempted to control. The sword energy lifted the Gilded Floor Tiles, revealing the Pure Oath Scroll that Aelia had buried by hand on their wedding night fifteen years ago.
Luna's Fetal Hair Necklace suddenly emitted a Longyin as Twelve Star Stones projected a three-dimensional Star Map.
The emerald pupils of the infant girl reflected the collapsed dome of the West Wing Treasure Vault—where the Guardian Contract between the First Generation Fortress Master and the Frost Dragon was supposed to be sealed.
Suddenly, the black blood vessels on Leonard's neck twisted into the shape of a Fallen Dream Flower, reminiscent of the poison pollen he had mixed into his honeyed wine fifteen years ago.
"It turns out Father knew back then..." The eldest brother turned his wheelchair over the fragments of the Stardust Contract, and the Amethyst Array revealed the truth of his birthday banquet three years ago.
The Ice Spirit Stone, which was meant to protect the Eldest Son, now gathered in his hand as a Judgment Sword under his Zhang Jian spell. "Mother, please allow me to fulfill my duty as Eldest Son and Inspector." His pale fingertip traced over the Backlash Burn Mark, an old wound from ten years ago when he forcefully broke through to the Great Mage realm to uphold Father's authority. At this moment, it transformed into a blood-red star trail that wrapped around Leonard's limbs.
The entire castle's Leyline Magic Circle suddenly emitted a foul stench unique to Longyuan Marsh.
The old wound on Second Brother's chest erupted with Purifying Light; he recognized it as the Guardian Runes he had secretly drawn on Leonard's Sword just before his dear friend's betrayal years ago.
The Ice Crystal Dragon extended its claws from the mural, pinning Leonard, who was attempting to escape toward the secret passage, in the center of the Star Trail magic array.
"Does Father know?" Brother San pressed the shattered Star Observation Instrument against Leonard's heart. The lens reflected the leaking Black Dragon Contract from the West Wing Treasure Vault. "When you swapped out the First Generation Fortress Master's image, you awakened more than just Fallen Dream Pollen..." Suddenly, an Ice Soul Mark on his forehead pierced into Father Mei Xin, and the forcibly read Memory Frame left everyone breathless—those Confession Record scrolls that should have rotted in the secret chamber were now burning in the fireplace of the servant's side hall.
As the Gilded Clock struck thirteen, Luna's loud cry suddenly transformed into a Purification Spell.
The stardust falling from the golden-haired infant seeped into the Earth Rift, and a third roar of breaking chains echoed from beneath the castle.
The Ice Crystal Dome suddenly reflected Leonard's Last Night in the West Wing Tower—a figure clutching a bloodstained parchment staggered toward the Communication Crystal. The stardust on his gilded ring resonated subtly with the star stone that had fallen from Luna’s chain pendant.
As Ice Mist condensed into Frost Flowers in the West Wing Tower, Lucius’s gilded ring emitted a sudden Zhuo Tong.
He staggered to support himself against the Communication Crystal; the halted click of his pocket watch gear overlapped with the third roar of breaking chains from underground.
A crystal fragment reflected Leonard's Last Night as Father was pinned at the center of the magic array by the Ice Crystal Dragon. The fallen star petals from a wilting dial conveniently landed on the inscription that read "Father and Son United."
"Third Young Master Lucius!" The Head Maid's trembling exclamation was swept away by the Cold Wind.
Lucius mechanically wiped away the Hei Xue seeping from his Pocket Watch—this was the Rite of Passage given to him by Father on his thirteenth birthday, and now, on the back of the dial, an unfamiliar Magic Engraving was emerging: intertwined Bloodlines and ice crystals, clearly originating from Mother's rampaging Ice Rose.
A sudden explosion of magic echoed from the entrance.
As he turned, he saw Father’s right arm being engulfed by Second Brother’s Purifying Light and Ailina's Burn, with rotting skin revealing Fallen Dream Patterns identical to those of the Pocket Watch Gear.
Memories flashed back to a rainy night five years ago when Father had patiently taught him how to activate the Protective Barrier; the Gilded Ring had left a similar burn on his palm.
"So you even mixed lies into the Guardian Spell you taught me." Lucius tore off the silver chain adorned with the Family Crest from his neck. The Zhui Zi fell into the ripples stirred by the Communication Crystal, reflecting a seal deep within the West Wing Treasure Vault—this was the Black Dragon Contract Monument he had personally reinforced for Father last year, and now its Stele Inscription was being rewritten by Luna's Stardust.
Leonard suddenly let out a beast-like roar, and black mist spewed from the Household Master Ring, coalescing in mid-air into the Book of Confession.
He struggled to reach out to Aelia, blood vessels bursting in frost as blood flowers erupted: "Those Fallen Dream Pollens... I’m just afraid of losing you..."
Aelia’s skirt blossomed into an Ice Rose that suddenly grew wildly, freezing the Book of Confession into powder.
She stepped onto the ice crystals and approached her husband, pearls falling from her hair forming a Judgment Scale in mid-air: "What you fear is not loss but being seen through—the rot beneath your glorious blood." On either side of the scale emerged Heavenly Wedding Wine from their wedding day and the Burning Confession Record from the West Wing, with the former being eroded to pieces by black mist.
The Star Chart of the Magic Castle Dome suddenly reversed, and Luna's Fetal Hair Necklace projected a brilliant beam of light.
The infant girl waved her tightly clenched Silver Bell, her Emerald Pupils reflecting Leonard’s Heart emerging with the Black Dragon Contract Mark—what should have been branded on the chest of the First Generation Fortress Master as a Glory Badge was now being gradually stripped away by the Frost Rune Array.
"Mother!" Lucius suddenly dashed into the main hall, gears of his Pocket Watch spinning in his hand to form a Star Map.
He trembled as he pointed toward the collapsing Black Dragon Contract Monument in the West Wing: "Those Fallen Dream Pollens... did they also mix into my Protective Barrier?" The Ice Crystal Ground suddenly emerged with a Memory Frame from when he presided over the Barrier Ritual at sixteen—floating within Father’s Gilded Holy Grail were indeed Black Particles identical to those in the Book of Confession.
The entire castle suddenly trembled violently, and the servants' gasps surged like a tide from the end of the Emerald Corridor.
A Kitchen Maid knocked over a jug of Honeyed Wine, which corroded the Ground into Fallen Dream Patterns. In the Stable, a startled Unicorn crashed into a Feed Trough emblazoned with the Family Crest.
The Family Crest Gem on Chief Guard Leonard's Sword suddenly exploded, and amidst the flying shards emerged the Residual Shadow of Leonard and the Red-Haired Woman secretly meeting in Longyuan Marsh.
"The Lord is actually keeping Leonard's Concubine in the marsh!" "The First Generation Portrait in the West Wing is bleeding for real..." "Third Young Master Lucius's Pocket Watch had already given a warning..." Whispers of panic collided and refracted between the Ice Crystal Columns, transforming into countless distorted reflections that surrounded Leonard.
He attempted to summon the Head of the Family Scepter but found that the Ice Spirit Stone at the Staff Tip was emitting a Judgment Blue Light on Eldest Son's Staff.
Aelia suddenly swung her sword, severing the Twin Lotus Pattern on the Wedding Sword. From the shattered ice crystals emerged a vision of a wedding night from Fifteen Years Ago.
In Leonard's Last Night, Young Leonard was mixing Fallen Dream Pollen into Heavenly Wedding Wine, while behind him, a shadow bearing Leonard's Black Dragon Ring offered a Jin Nang containing strands of the Red-Haired Woman's hair.
"No..." Leonard struggled to touch the Memory Fragment within the ice crystal but was pierced through his Palm by suddenly surging Ice Roses.
He was horrified to discover that those thorny vines shared their origin with the Burning Confession Record and Tiny Inscriptions in the West Wing; each petal reflected his years of tampering with the Guardian Array.
Luna suddenly let out a clear laugh, and the infant's Fetal Hair Necklace projected a three-dimensional Star Map in Qin Si's arms.
The Twelve Star Stones illuminated a melting Ice Stele deep within the Treasure Vault. The name "Lucia" revealed in the Stele Inscription made Leonard go pale—she was his Aunt, expelled twenty years ago for opposing the Fallen Dream Flower Experiment. At that moment, Stardust surging from an Ice Monument Crack flickered in sync with Luna's Pupil.
The castle's Leyline Magic Circle emitted a roar like Longyin, and an old wound on Second Brother's chest suddenly burst forth with golden light.
He gazed at his Father’s figure overlapping with that of his dear friend within the ice crystal. The Purifying Power coalescing at his Fingertip resonated with his Mother’s array: "So all betrayers' Bloodlines leave behind flaws..."
"Father, do you remember this?" The eldest brother turned his Wheelchair over the Stardust Contract, and the Amethyst Array revealed the truth of that day when he became paralyzed.
The Ice Spirit Stone, which was supposed to protect the Eldest Son, was actually a container used by Leonard to absorb his Magical Talent.
Suddenly, twelve Ice Crystal Eyes opened on the wheelchair armrest, returning all the magical power that Father had transferred over the years.
The gears of Lucius's pocket watch, which had been stagnant, began to reverse rotation, and the starry flowers on the dial bloomed anew into an ice rose pattern.
He gazed at the First Generation Portrait in the West Wing Tower as it reformed, pressing the blood-stained pocket watch against the Communication Crystal. "Mother, please allow me to restart the Guardian Array of the West Wing." Outside the Liujin Window, an ice crystal monument engraved with the Luna Star Map rose from the ruins of the Black Dragon Contract Monument.
Aelia's skirt, adorned with ice roses, suddenly ceased its spread as she looked down at Luna, who had appeared in her arms without her noticing.
The infant's emerald eyes reflected the Star Trail being corrected above the Magic Castle Dome. At that moment, as the Twelve Zodiac Signs returned to their places, a resonance echoed from underground—the shattering voice of Qing Yue from the Fourth Voice Chain.
As the Ice Crystal Rose climbed over the family head's throne, Luna clutched Aelia's pearl necklace and whispered softly.
Stardust fell from the golden hair of the infant, drifting toward the Observation Platform being rebuilt in the West Wing. On a shattered astrolabe's surface, it formed a water droplet-shaped prophecy.
In the shadows of the Emerald Pillar, on a shard of Liujin teacup picked up by the Head Maid, the bleeding pupil of the First Generation Fortress Master gradually regained its ice blue hue.
