Luna curled up in Qin Si's embrace, her dark eyes reflecting the swaying light of the Crystal Chandelier.
The cracked Family Crest on the Banquet Hall Dome continued to spill violet illusions, while the terrified murmurs of the guests intertwined with Leonard's Ailya's Roar, creating fragmented echoes among the Carved Pillars.
Aelia's skirt, embroidered with Silver Thread and Black Roses, swept across the littered floor as her fingertips brushed against the floating petals of illusion.
The scenes of the Outsider Woman conversing with the Hostile Family's rulers during Leonard's Last Night made her Emerald Earrings glint sharply at her neck. "Lucius, take Luna to the West Tower." As she handed the swaddled baby to San Zi, her pinky swiftly traced a High-Level Protective Spell on the infant's palm.
"Mother..." The boy's words were cut short by his sister's sudden Loud Cry.
Luna waved her small hand and accurately grasped Brother San's cascading silver hair, using the pull to bury her face into his collarbone—where the Frost Maiden had left Hei Xue, quietly coalescing into a Tracking Spell.
"The young lady seems to have taken a liking to the Third Young Master," Qin Si attempted to cradle the baby back, but Lucius sidestepped him.
The boy gazed down at his sister’s softly glowing golden hair swirl, suddenly recalling how Luna had climbed onto his Alchemy Table half a month ago and knocked over a vial of Secret Silver Solution, which had just melted a scroll harboring a hidden curse.
In the West Tower, candle flames flickered, and the sound of a Wheelchair rolling over Lapis Lazuli Tiles awakened the sleeping Night Owl.
Eldest brother Pale’s fingers gripped the ornate armrest tightly as the She Shadow wriggled beneath his wheelchair, tearing at the azure purple blood vessels bulging on his calf.
Luna was placed in a Vine Basket on the windowsill, appearing to nibble on velvet Liu Su while actually using her Saliva to sketch a star-reversal formation on the Fabric.
"The Young Master needs to take his medicine." The physician approached with an Obsidian Medicine Box but stumbled back in shock as a Crystal Lamp Shade suddenly shattered.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna rolled out of the Vine Basket and collided with the Wheelchair amidst gasps from those present—her tiny pink palm pressed against her brother's knee just as a Dark Red Curse bulged beneath his skin like a living thing.
"Luna!" When Lucius rushed over, he saw his sister's pupils ripple with Ice Blue waves.
Her Yi Ya waving arms stirred up fine motes of light; those Xing Mang flowed along her brother’s twisted blood vessels, driving the She Shadow that sought to burrow into his heart down to his ankles.
The physician Yao Xia suddenly sprang back; what should have been a Light Gold Magic Core Repair Agent glowed with an eerie indigo hue.
"It turns out that every time the illness worsens, it is due to the potion you personally concocted." Lucius pressed against the physician's throat, while Luna bit her fingertip and flicked the Blood Pearl into the formation.
The elder brother let out a suppressed cry of pain that had been held back for ten years. Beneath the wheelchair, She Shadow evaporated into a mist of Stench under the starlight, and his withered fingers gradually regained their color.
A dull thud echoed from the Library of Hidden Books as a Grimoire fell to the ground. Second Brother rushed into the corridor, clutching a sheepskin scroll, his wine-red hair still stained with the Moldy Smell of the dungeon.
Three hours earlier, Luna had climbed into his cell while the Nurse dozed off, using her milk-stained fingers to draw the Phoenix Nirvana formation on his palm—this was the key to breaking the Soul Nail planted in his Magic Source by his dear friend.
"Second Young Master, the family head has ordered that no one is to..." Before the guard could finish his sentence, the Fire Phoenix that burst forth from Second Brother's fingertip had already shattered the Xuan Tie Men.
He stormed into the secret chamber and grabbed Hawkins by the collar. The Dark Pattern rising from Hawkins' body perfectly matched the traitor's mark recorded on the sheepskin scroll: "You said you found the Soul Devouring Array diagram on an ancient battlefield, but it turns out it was stolen goods bought from the black market!"
As moonlight climbed onto Luna's Cradle, Aelia was inserting Leonard's Sword, stained with blood, into the throne.
The curse her husband uttered before being thrown into the dungeon echoed in her ears, yet her gaze fell upon San Zi, who was rushing over.
Lucius' cloak retained the starlight of the West Tower, and a sleeping baby in his arms had frost flowers from dispelling magic clinging to its eyelashes.
"Mother, elder brother can stand up now." The boy's voice trembled. "Though it's only three steps, he truly..."
The Noblewoman's Gilded Armor brushed against Luna's sleeping face, and the baby unknowingly grasped its sharp edge without Awareness.
Suddenly, moonlight was obscured by swirling Wu Yun, and a crisp sound of ice crystals forming came from afar—the ice dagger that Brother San often used suddenly fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the frost spilling uncontrollably from his palm but failed to notice his sister's eyelashes tremble for a brief moment.
Luna opened the yellowed pages of Original deep within her dream, where Brother San's altered ice-based Counterspell was seeping blood between the lines.
She curled her milk-fragrant fingers slightly as a strand of silver hair quietly wrapped around the swaddled Tie— remnants of frost quietly taken from Brother San’s shoulder moments ago.
As Lucius carried the sleeping Luna through the Emerald Corridor, ice crystals began to grow silently along his fingertip.
The young man lowered his head to look at the frost flower crystallized on his sister's eyelashes, suddenly recalling the phenomenon that had occurred earlier in the West Tower when starlight pierced through the infant's palm, causing frost that should have frozen to transform into a warm current around him.
"Third Young Master, the lady requests you to fetch some Snow Spirit Crystals from the Ice Cellar." Qin Si approached, holding a Liuli Lantern that cast flickering shadows. Her gaze momentarily froze as it swept over Luna's small hand clutching her silver hair.
In her dark bag, she concealed a blood-stained secret letter, which Luna had drawn as a treasure map on a silk pillowcase using her saliva while Qin Si was changing.
The Shan Na of the Ice Cellar opened its mystical door, and Han Qi emerged, enveloped in a blue, shimmering ice mist.
Lucius gently placed Luna on the Xuan Bing Tai, covered with snow ferret fur, and turned to retrieve the silver box hanging in the Purple Crystal Cluster.
He did not notice the infant suddenly opening her pupils, which glimmered with a moon-white halo. The ancient incantations mistaken for mere decorations were awakening on the Ice Wall.
"Yiya!" Luna suddenly waved her arms like a lotus flower, her palm striking a dent at the edge of the Xuan Bing Tai.
The entire Ice Cellar trembled violently; the millennium ice stalactites hanging from the dome refracted eerie red light, intertwining at Lucius's feet to form a blood star map.
As he stumbled back, emerging from the ice mist was the Frost Spell he had seen in ancient texts when he was ten—at that moment, those characters were slowly being eroded by crimson patterns.
"What is this..." The ice blade formed by Lucius's fingertip suddenly shattered. He gazed at his reflection on the Ice Wall, noticing a dark pattern emerging on his forehead that resembled the star map.
In Luna's anxious sounds of "Yiya," the infant's pink toes suddenly kicked a mechanism on the Xuan Bing Tai. A sheepskin scroll rolled out with a rustle and unfolded to reveal the original counterspell before it was tampered with.
The young man's trembling hand brushed over familiar annotations on the scroll; it was unmistakably his father's handwriting from when he gifted him a birthday rune at fourteen years old.
The ice mist conjured scenes from his years of training—each time he channeled magic according to the counterspell's errors, blood-red dark purple threads would weave through his meridians.
"Did Luna know all along?" He turned to look at his sister, who was dancing about excitedly. To his surprise, she was drawing a reversal formation on the Xuan Bing Tai with her saliva.
Those crooked lines perfectly matched the warning diagram on the last page of the sheepskin scroll. Suddenly, within the ice crystal came his mother's voice from three years ago during a blessing at the altar: "Lucius's talent should not be that of violent crimson frost..."
Urgent footsteps echoed from outside the cellar, prompting Luna to immediately close her eyes and feign sleep.
Qin Si burst in, trembling as she held the Ice Crystal Chalice. "Madam suddenly wants to inspect all ice-type Magic Tools!" Her disheveled appearance made Lucius's heart sink. Meanwhile, the baby in her arms took the opportunity to press a drool-covered Fingertip against his Wrist, a strand of Gold Thread weaving its way through his Bloodline and into his Dan Tian.
As the morning light streamed through the Colored Stained Glass Window, Aelia was at the Dressing Mirror, adjusting her Pearl Headdress.
Inside the Crystal Bottle that Qin Si presented, the Memory Illusion from the Outsider Woman's trade with the Northern Merchant Caravan was bubbling.
The Noblewoman's Emerald Armor swept across the Bottle, and she suddenly caught sight of Leonard's Wedding Ring in the corner of the illusion—once a pair with the cursed ring at the bottom of her Makeup Box.
"Go summon the head of the family." Her calm tone made even the Fire Sprite on the Crystal Chandelier curl up in fear. The Pearl Powder crushed by her Fingertip fell into the Memory Bottle, staining the evidence of betrayal a Dazzling Scarlet.
When Leonard stepped into Rose Hall, the Twelve Rays of the Defensive Barrier silently opened behind Aelia.
He was still smiling, asking if she needed a change of Banquet Carpet, when he saw his wife raise her hand and splash the Memory Illusion into the air.
The Outsider Woman's laughter intertwined with Leonard's Last Night as he caressed Ailiya's Pregnant Belly, overlapping with their wedding scene from Twenty Years Ago.
"It's just a ploy from a Political Rival..." Lord reached out to embrace his wife's shoulders when his Gilded Cufflinks suddenly erupted with Black Radiance.
Aelia stumbled back three steps, pearls from her hair clattering to the ground—each reflecting different Timelines of Betrayal Evidence. The latest one even flickered with Leonard's Last Night when the Dungeon Guard had been bribed that very morning.
The entire castle began to Zhen Chan as three Main Stars on the Family Star Map in the Banquet Hall Dome suddenly extinguished.
Leonard was engulfed in black mist, trying to break through the barrier, but was ensnared by Frost Chains that surged in and wrapped around his ankles.
Lucius stood at the top of the spiral staircase holding Luna. The boy's Fingertip glowed with Ice Blue Magic, pure and astonishingly free from Chiwen's previous violence.
"Mother, be careful!" His Warning coincided with Luna's sudden Loud Cry.
Aelia swiftly drew a Decorative Sword from the wall. The Guardian Stone embedded in its hilt shattered with a crack, revealing a writhing Soul Devouring Insect inside.
These poisons, which should have been purified during their wedding vow ceremony Twenty Years Ago, were now screeching as they lunged toward her Wrist.
In the twilight, Lucius stood by the window of the West Tower, watching as his father was escorted to the anti-magic dungeon.
He absentmindedly stroked the icy crystal that formed the Family Crest on his sleeve, while behind him, Luna's crisp bites on an Alchemical Vessel echoed in the air.
Suddenly, the infant threw a metal ring at him. In that instant he caught it, frost automatically traced the silhouette of his mother standing alone at the Watchtower on its surface.
Lucius lingered in the shadows of the Spiral Staircase, ice crystals climbing along the Gilded Railing in the shape of thorns.
He gazed at his mother repairing the barrier before the Celestial Star Map, his fingertip absentmindedly brushing against the Frost Flower that had once coiled around his Meridian like a venomous snake; now it transformed into delicate snowflakes drifting down.
"Third Young Master, the Cedar Wood from the Northern Merchants..." The butler hesitated, holding a Gold Leaf Ledger, his gaze sweeping over the boy's waist where a newly replaced Ice Spirit Jade Pendant hung.
That should have been a token of the family heir, yet it now glimmered with an emerald Halo akin to Aelia's Armor.
As he took the seal embedded with Ice Bloom, Frost Mist branded an Emblem onto the Parchment. Suddenly, he recalled Luna gnawing on his jade pendant yesterday.
The shallow marks left by her Milk Tooth on the icy surface now aligned perfectly with a scorched alteration on some part of the Gold Leaf Ledger from Magic Fire.
His pupils narrowed as a Knight in a corner of Zhang Fang suddenly turned to flee but was ensnared by a rapidly growing ice vine around his ankle.
The West Tower echoed with the shattering sound of Crystal Wind Chimes, while Luna's Loud Cry sent ripples of Magic throughout the castle.
When Lucius crushed an ice crystal and teleported to the Nursery, he collided with a Nurse as she shook off a Soul-Eating Moth from her sleeve towards the Cradle.
The infant’s Rattle suddenly burst forth with golden Xing Mang, pinning the poisonous insect against a window curtain embroidered with Wisteria. The struggling shadows of those insects eerily formed the visage of a Dungeon Guard.
"It seems Father still has plenty of pawns left," he scoffed. The long sword formed from frost sliced through the air but transformed into gentle snowflakes upon touching the curtain.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna caught falling ice crystals and stuffed them into her mouth, crunching loudly. Emerald-colored magic spilled from her lips, forming a Guardian Array adorned with Dark Night Rose Patterns around the Cradle.
As Aelia's Pearl Heels clicked against the Marble Floor, twilight bathed Luna's silver hair in Jin Bian.
Gently touching the baby’s drawing on the velvet blanket, Luna's doodle—those seemingly chaotic lines were actually a schematic of the castle's defense flaw outlined with milk stains.
"Mother, the iron ore trade in the Northern Territory..." Lucius unfolded the frost-sealed gold leaf ledger, but his words were abruptly interrupted by his sister's sudden sneeze.
The milk foam that Luna expelled crystallized in the air into an ice mirror, reflecting an elder sneaking into the forbidden library late at night—Leonard's last night. In the mirror, the man clutched tightly a fire seal with a sheen pattern, which was Leonard's signature item.
The ice spear formed by the boy's palm suddenly melted. He gazed at the snow spirit crystal hanging from the elder's waist in the ice mirror—it was unmistakably the very box he had personally retrieved from the ice cellar that morning.
Luna grasped his trembling fingers, her warm baby tears dripping onto the snow spirit crystal projection, purifying the hidden blood curse into a pristine ice blue.
As moonlight crept up on Luna's cradle, Aelia was pinning a new family crest onto her eldest son’s chest.
Lucius watched his brother’s unsteady yet determined steps and suddenly noticed a slight movement in his sleeve’s dark bag.
The ice bloom petal that Luna had slipped in earlier was melting, its juice staining the silk lining with fragments of an ancient prophecy poem. A particular phrase that had been emphasized was glowing faintly with a golden hue—"Bloodline Purification."
As the castle bell tolled for the ninth time, the baby peacefully slept, clutching an ice crystal stolen from Brother San’s hair tips.
Moonlight filtered through the colored stained glass window, casting shadows on her eyelashes where hints of a stellar trajectory quietly reassembled.
