Moonlight flowed through the stained glass, casting shimmering patterns on Luna's silver bell anklet. Aelia was gently wiping the stardust milk stain from the corner of her mouth with an ice silkworm silk handkerchief.
Suddenly, the baby grabbed the tips of her foster mother's hair, her round eyes reflecting the fading ice crystal wedding ring on Aelia's ring finger—a token that had never lost its luster over twenty years, now marred by spiderweb-like cracks.
"Wooah!" Luna suddenly uttered a garbled magic syllable, her milk-scented fingers pointing toward the cedar forest outside the window.
Aelia chuckled, rubbing her nose against the top of Luna's head. "Does little glutton want to eat truffle pudding?" Before she finished speaking, a translucent star pattern emerged on the baby's forehead, and the silver hair she had grabbed instantly crystallized into an ice prism.
The mirror revealed a distorted image of Leonard's last night: Leonard's cloak was dusted with violet powder—the unmistakable essence of nightshade pollen, favored by the Outsider Woman.
Aelia's silver scissors clattered to the ground as she trimmed Hua Zhi, and the mirror continued to reflect a harsher truth—hidden within the abandoned stargazing tower of the magic castle's east side was a secret lair disguised as a library using a transfiguration spell.
"How does Luna know these things..." Aelia's trembling fingertip brushed against the ice mirror as the baby suddenly seized her moonstone necklace.
The gem collided with the ice mirror's shan na, and a wedding oath scroll flew out from Eldest Son Ankeli's wheelchair, suddenly hovering in mid-air. The words "Eternal Commitment," penned by Leonard himself years ago, were being eroded by some crimson curse into "Each Finds Joy."
The baby's sudden loud cry startled the entire castle.
When Third Young Master Lucius burst in, he saw Luna clutching Aelia's pearl button, smearing the milk stain across the end of the scroll—revealing an additional clause that had been concealed for twenty years: "If offspring are born, Leonard's concubine shall enjoy thirty percent inheritance rights."
"Mother!" Eldest Son drove his magic crystal stone-laden wheelchair through the door. His fingers, long curled from magic backlash, suddenly unfurled at that moment as he slapped the barrier key hidden in the mechanical armrest against the wall.
The entire magic pattern stone wall responded with a rumble, revealing a frostwolf statue inside that was siphoning family energy—each wolf's eyes reflected different women's faces.
Second Young Master burst in with a broken dragonbone staff. Blood flowed from his right eye, cursed by a soul-devouring spell planted by his dear friend: "Father gave me a magic amplification potion this morning; it detected hair from the Northern Witch." Behind him followed Third Young Master Lucius, reeking of alcohol fumes; his unfinished ice rose suddenly exploded to reveal a surveillance beetle controlled by puppet thread within its core.
Aelia stumbled and fell onto star silver velvet, oblivious to the wedding ring fragment embedded in her palm.
Luna struggled to climb onto her Foster Mother's lap, using the long-tusked Crystal Pacifier to touch her bleeding wound—the Star Map on the infant's neck suddenly projected onto the Dome, replacing the image of Leonard's Concubine in the eyes of the Frostwolf Statue with that of a floating Half-Blood Infant in Cedar Forest.
"The Moon Rainbow Birthmark..." The Eldest Son's hoarse voice sounded like rusty gears turning. "The pattern on that child's forehead is identical to the curse of the Moon Goddess recorded in the ancient texts of the Maternal Family." His Mechanical Wheelchair suddenly revealed a hidden compartment, where a Bloodstained Swaddling Fragment from twenty years ago during Aelia's childbirth was soaked with Moonlight Essence liquid, originating from the same source as the infant in the Star Map.
Luna suddenly emitted an urgent Yiya Sound, grabbing Aelia's Skirt to wipe the Dome Projection.
As the Star Map touched the bloodstains on the swaddling, Leonard's Last Night abruptly collapsed into a Prophecy Ball—Leonard was pressing his hand, adorned with an Ice Crystal Ring, against the bulging abdomen of an Outsider Woman. The inner circle of that ring was engraved with what should have belonged to Aelia: the Moon God Blessing Incantation.
"He used a Wedding Ring as a spell tool to transfer the Bloodline Blessing!" The Third Young Master Lucius's Ice Crystal Goblet suddenly shattered, and the Young Mage finally became aware of the source of his magical stagnation over the years.
The Second Young Master trembled as he raised his broken staff; the Staff Tip embedded with Long Jing reflected images of mentors that Father had "carefully" arranged for him over the years, all of whom were Dark Stakes from Outsider Family.
Aelia suddenly held Luna tightly in her arms, and Stardust that fell from the Infant Swaddling automatically arranged itself into a wedge-shaped Iris of Warning on the Velvet Blanket.
As the thirteenth bell tolled outside, those Sandy Gravels suddenly coalesced into a miniature Magic Castle Model—when the East Tower collapsed with a thunderous crash, it perfectly crushed the Frostwolf Throne, symbolizing patriarchal authority.
"Mother, Barrier Energy is reversing." The Eldest Son's Wheelchair Armrest's Magic Crystal Stone exploded one after another; his twin legs, which had been disabled for many years, were suddenly attacked by backlash magic known as Ailina's Burn. "Father's Siphon Spell... is likely to activate on Lunar Eclipse Night..."
Luna suddenly let out a sharp Loud Cry, struggling to lunge towards Qin Si in the corner.
The Loyal Maid was about to step forward to assist when the infant's Silver Bell Anklet suddenly rang out, shattering the Transmission Beetle hidden in Qin Si's sleeve into Powder—the residual Violet Fluorescence on its Wings mirrored that of Leonard's Concubine in the eyes of the Frostwolf Statue.
Moonlight was suddenly swallowed by rolling Lei Yun, and a Roar echoed through the castle corridor as the Frostwolf Statue turned.
At the moment Aelia handed Luna over to Lucius, the infant's Milk Tooth unexpectedly bit down on her remaining Wedding Ring finger—when Star Sand fused with Blood Pearl into Shan Na, a crisp sound resonated from deep within the foundation of the Magic Castle as Destiny’s thread snapped.
Qin Si knelt at the edge of the Star Silver Velvet, the cuffs of her maid's uniform glistening with tears.
Her trembling fingers brushed against Aelia's scattered silver hair, which, usually intertwined with the scent of cedar, now held tiny shards of ice. "My lady..." she began, but her throat tightened as memories from twenty years ago pierced through her emotions—the moment she had placed the wedding crown on Aelia's head. "That year during the Moon Goddess Festival, when you walked towards the altar holding the Star Mist Flower, the ice crystals adorning your skirt sparkled more brilliantly than this Wedding Ring."
In Aelia's hollow pupils reflected a floor scattered with stardust, forming a model of a magic castle. Cracks in the East Tower stretched along the velvet blanket towards the Frostwolf Throne.
Luna's Silver Bell Anklet suddenly chimed in her arms as the baby kicked her legs like those of a little frog, pressing a saliva-soaked Magic Crystal Pendant against her Foster Mother's heart—it was a fragment of the Heart Shield Lucius had given on his first full moon.
"Mother!" The Eldest Son's wheelchair armrest emitted a warning red light as his withered fingers flew over the floating magic pattern keyboard. "Barrier energy is still at thirty percent, but the backflow speed is increasing." His face, long tormented by magic backlash, twisted in pain, yet he accurately brought up the surveillance footage of the Frostwolf Statue. "The Siphon Spell Seal in the East Observation Tower... is consuming the guardian spirit of the Ancestral Hall."
The Second Young Master suddenly tore open his collar embroidered with a dragon scale pattern, revealing a rotting curse mark beneath his collarbone. "The Healing Potion Father gave me last month... now that I think about it, every time I took it, the Soul Devouring Curse deepened." He crossed his broken Dragonbone Staff into the carpet; its tip suddenly reflected remnants of Third Young Master Lucius's Ice Rose puppet thread—those silver strands were eerily drifting towards the Master's Study.
Lucius crushed a surveillance beetle in his palm; ice mist rose from his fingertips and formed a sand table in mid-air. "Father's study is exactly one-third of the distance from Stargazing Tower to the Lunar Eclipse Trajectory." He brushed his sleeve, stained with wine liquid, across the sand table, and ice crystals instantly outlined a three-dimensional map of the Magic Castle. "Eldest Brother's wheelchair key, Second Brother's Soul Devouring Curse, my Puppet Thread... these can actually form a complete Siphon Array."
A roar echoed through the corridor as the Frostwolf Statue turned; Luna in Aelia's arms suddenly widened her eyes.
The star map on the baby's neck glowed red, drawing in Qin Si's remaining violet fluorescence into her hair tips.
The Loyal Maid was about to speak but was frozen in place by a detection magic pattern shot from the Eldest Son's wheelchair—those ice blue patterns clearly illuminated her ear’s crescent moon birthmark.
"Sister Qin Si's Luna..." Third Young Master Lucius’s previously hazy eyes sharpened. "And that Half-Blood Infant’s Curse Mark on the Star Map..." His unfinished sentence was interrupted by Luna’s sudden loud cry as she grabbed Aelia’s pearl button and forced it into Qin Si’s palm where remnants of a transmission beetle lay.
Aelia trembled as she cradled the maid’s face; moonlight filtered through the fine lines at her eyes. "Twenty years ago, on that night when I lost my young child, you risked your life to retrieve half of that swaddling from within the Blood Curse array." A fragment of her bloodstained wedding ring suddenly floated up and projected a miniature version of the Moon God Blessing Incantation onto Qin Si’s ear and Luna. "So that child..."
The entire Magic Castle shook violently as if struck by an unseen force; the Frostwolf relief on their family crest let out a mournful cry.
As Leonard burst through the Gilded Gate, carried by the Northern Territory's Wind and Snow, he caught sight of the Star Map in Aelia's arms, resonating with the mark on his half-breed son hidden in the Stargazing Tower.
The Lord's cloak, embroidered with a Dark Pattern, was still dripping water, and the Nightshade Pollen that stained its cuffs ignited the moment it met Luna's gaze.
"My dear, this is..." His voice, feigned calmness, was shattered by the sound of Luna's Silver Bell Anklet.
Suddenly, the baby stuffed its Stardust-covered fist into its mouth and spat out Milk Foam laced with Blood Vein towards the Frostwolf Throne—those bubbles coalesced in the air into an illusion of Father and Outsider Woman exchanging rings on Lunar Eclipse Night.
Aelia slowly rose, her skirt sweeping over the Siphon Spell Seal that was gradually materializing on the floor.
The moment she handed Luna to Lucius, the baby's Milk Tooth unexpectedly bit into her fingertip, a crimson bead of blood from the Moon Goddess lineage falling into Third Young Master Lucius's unfinished Ice Wine glass—Wine Liquid bubbled over the sand table, staining the critical Node of the Siphon Array a warning red.
"Using a Twenty-Year Marriage Contract as a spell tool, offering Parental Bloodline as a sacrifice." With each step Aelia took, the faded Wedding Ring Fragment reformed. "Leonard, do you still remember the Dragonbone Staff that broke during my proposal?" Her bloodied palm suddenly emerged with the Dragon Crystal Fragment embedded in the Contract Scroll, violently resonating with the Staff Tip that had broken from Second Young Master.
The Lord staggered backward as the Frostwolf Seal hanging from his waist suddenly shattered.
His carefully nurtured Transmission Beetles surged out from the crack but collectively turned upon meeting Luna's gaze, pinning all Secret Letters meant for Leonard's Concubine onto the Family Crest Relief—those Irises woven from a priestess's hair exposed the usurpation plan of Lunar Eclipse Night.
Outside, Lei Yun swirled into a vortex as Luna suddenly reached out her tiny hand towards the Stargazing Tower.
The Stardust in the baby's palm spontaneously formed into a glowing slingshot, launching Qin Si's Ear Emerging Blessing Incantation into Zhen Chan's Barrier Nexus.
Deep within the foundation of the Magic Castle came the cracking sound of Ice Layer shattering; a guardian spirit sealed for twenty years was awakening.
