The moonlight trickled down onto Luna's curled fingertip, crystallizing into tiny ice shards that fell into the folds of her swaddling blanket.
As Aelia leaned down to tuck her daughter's blanket, the infant suddenly let out a giggle, her chubby little hand grasping at her mother's cascading silver hair, which instantly bloomed into a cluster of ice sculptures resembling black roses.
"Madam, the Snow Spirit Crystal sent by Third Young Master Lucius..." Qin Si's hands trembled as he held the crystal box. The ice crystals inside refracted a cold light, revealing the unmistakable figure of Leonard whispering with a strange woman in a hidden chamber.
The woman's amethyst bells at her waist were unmistakably the token of love Aelia had given to her husband years ago.
Aelia's fingers, adorned with Ailya's White Nails painted in Dan Kou, dug into the velvet chair’s backrest, and her emerald earrings chimed sharply as they shook violently.
At that moment, Luna let out a loud cry, and a tear rolled down onto Qin Si's hem, quickly crystallizing into an ice butterfly that fluttered toward the crystal box.
The ice butterfly flapped its wings, and Leonard’s sleeve revealed a sheen pattern that suddenly transformed into blood-red vines, constricting around the woman's neck and leaving dark bruises.
"So this is why the accounts of the Northern Territory trade have been in deficit—it's to support this man-eating flower," Aelia sneered, her fingertip brushing against Luna's tear-streaked face. The unfallen tear on the infant's eyelashes suddenly burst forth with starlight.
The powdered remnants of the ice butterfly reformed in the moonlight, piecing together outlines of dozens of secret letters from Ankeli in the hidden chamber, each letter sealed with the private seal of the Magic Castle’s Seven Elders.
The sound of metal striking the ground echoed down the corridor as Eldest Son pushed open the door, causing a gust of wind to lift his heavy cloak.
The young man, who had long been curled up in a wheelchair, now sat upright, his newly replaced frost badge surprisingly intact despite the chaotic curse power swirling within him.
His disabled right leg dragged out a faint blue shadow under the moonlight, leaving behind tracks where frost flowers bloomed with each step.
"Mother, regarding the transport route for the iron ore from Northern Territory..." The young man's voice abruptly cut off as his gaze fixated on a secret letter floating within an ice barrier.
Those meridians that should have been corroded by blood curses suddenly shimmered with silver light. He staggered to support himself against the cradle, his palm pressing down on Luna's little feet as she kicked about wildly.
At that moment, an ice bloom at Luna's ankle suddenly burst forth. The curse black pattern that had protruded from his hand receded like a tide retreating three inches.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grasped her elder brother's finger and bit down with her milk tooth, leaving behind a bloody tooth mark.
A Blood Pearl hovered in mid-air, forming an Ice Spike that refracted the scene of the young man being backlashed three years ago in the magic training ground—Leonard, who was supposed to protect the array's core, was then stuffing a Pocket Watch containing a Curse Crystal into the pocket of Eldest Son Leonard's Cloak.
"The Rite of Passage given by Father..." The young man knelt on one knee, his Xuan Tie staff striking the bluestone tiles and cracking them like a Spider Web.
Luna suddenly reached out her small hand and tugged at the badge on his chest. The Family Crest, forged from ice crystals, began to Reverse Rotation, slowly drawing out the Curse Power that had accumulated within him for twelve years.
Ailya's silver hair moved without wind, and the Ice Crystal Hairpin in her hair chimed softly.
She pressed Eldest Son's trembling Palm against Luna's Heart, and beneath the infant's warm skin, a Star Map network suddenly emerged: "Do you remember? On the night you were born, the Aurora of Bing Yuan filled the entire Northern Sky."
A roar from the castle's West Side suddenly erupted as crystal shards exploded. Lucius burst through the window, enveloped by Wind and Snow, while the Ice Bloom cradled in his Palm had melted into Light Gold Blue Blood Fern Juice.
His eyelashes, coated with Ice Shards, trembled violently: "Brother San discovered something on the Astrology Platform..."
Luna suddenly unleashed an unprecedented Loud Cry, sending Sound Waves shattering the Bing Ling hanging from the Window Lattice.
The splintered ice formed a flowing Celestial Chart in mid-air, revealing a pattern of a Forbidden Technique that had been erased for a century.
Aelia tore off her Neck necklace; as the Sapphire fell to the ground, it transformed into an Ice Mirror upon impact, reflecting Leonard as he activated the Blood Sacrifice Array before the Elder Council.
"It turns out that the Blood Curse within the Snow Spirit Crystal is not a curse but a seal." Lucius smeared the melted Ice Bloom juice on the mirror's surface, revealing that at the center of the blood-red array was Eldest Son's Umbilical Cord Blood from when he was just born.
Luna waved her small fist, wet with saliva, and pounded on the Ice Mirror. The reflection of Leonard's Last Night suddenly shifted to the Forbidden Library’s Dark Compartment, where seven blood-stained Family Rings spun within Heiyan.
Aelia pulled out an Ice Spike Hairpin from her silver hair; as its tip pierced her Fingertip, moonlight from the entire Magic Castle converged into a silver torrent.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grasped Mother’s bleeding finger and flicked the Blood Pearl toward Eldest Son’s badge on his chest.
The Emblem interwoven with ice and fire suddenly cracked open, releasing frost-covered feathers—the very Radiant Phoenix Feather that had been consumed by Curse Power all those years ago.
"Before dawn tomorrow, I want to see all the contracts handled by Elder Seven over the past twenty years." As Aelia turned, her skirt blossomed with the pattern of Ice Crystal Lotus, and the frost-tipped ends of her hair shed Frost Flowers that fell like prophecy texts.
Lucius was about to chase after her when a warm sensation suddenly came from his sleeve—Luna had unknowingly slipped an ice crystal stained with milk into his palm, containing the Amethyst Messenger Bird that Second Brother had received yesterday.
As the castle bell shattered the tenth moon, Luna curled up in her cradle, gnawing on an Ice Spike dropped by Brother San.
When Qin Si wiped away the Ice Shard from her mouth for the eighth time, the baby suddenly revealed a mischievous smile—on the windowsill, Second Brother's most cherished Magic Pocket Watch was exuding black mist under the moonlight, its surface reflecting the face of a dear friend, which twisted in rhythm with Luna's gnawing on the Ice Spike.
Moonlight sliced through the Ice Lattice onto the Parchment, creating Diamond Light Spots. Second Brother's fingers, gripping the Amethyst Messenger Bird, turned pale.
The Soul Contract signed under deception by his dear friend hovered in the void, Blood-red Runes visibly devouring his Source of Magic at an alarming rate.
"Even you think brother is foolish, don't you?" He forced a smile as he poked at Luna, who was blowing bubbles in her cradle. Suddenly, an Ice Crystal Tear Mark at the corner of his eye burst forth, releasing a faint blue Blood Pearl.
Luna suddenly grabbed his dangling hair tips; her saliva-soaked hair instantly froze into an Ice Prism, reflecting the moment three days ago when his friend handed him the Contract Scroll, with serpent-shaped black mist swirling in his sleeve's dark pattern.
The baby kicked towards the Ice Prism with her little legs resembling those of a doll, shattering it into seven pieces of Xing Mang.
Two of those Xing Mang flipped over suddenly, reflecting Second Brother's Ice Spirit Stone hanging at his waist into a translucent crimson hue—this was precisely where the Contract Trap's focal point lay.
Luna called out "Yi Ya" as she grabbed the Crystal Baby Bottle Qin Si had just delivered; milky white liquid splashed into the air and automatically condensed into a Northern Territory Map, marking the Magic Crystal Veins secretly controlled by Beloved Friend Family.
"He hid the Contract Array within my life stone?" Second Brother suddenly gripped the Ice Spirit Stone tightly as serpent scale-like ice cracks emerged on its surface.
Luna let out an urgent loud cry; Lacrima rolled onto the Parchment, washing away her friend's modified Transportation Route Map to reveal its original form—within the winding ink were hidden Curse Orders written in Dragon Blood.
As Qin Si entered with a Star Silver Teapot in hand, Luna was pressing her saliva-covered thumb against Second Brother's Mei Xin.
The baby’s fingertip blossomed with Ice Bloom that completely froze the Blood Contract. Second Brother abruptly snatched a Tea Spoon and sliced open his palm; with Frost Breath, a Blood Pearl dripped precisely onto the Contract Array's focal point: "So it turns out breaking the curse requires my Heart's Blood to nourish Northern Territory's red iron ore!"
A sudden sound of shattering crystal echoed from the East Wing as Brother San stumbled into the room, clutching the Astrolabe that was seeping black mist.
His Frost Medal, worn on his chest, was turned upside down, revealing the Taboo Rune etched on its back. "Sister, look! My Magic Circuit..." Before he could finish, Luna sprayed him with a face full of Milk Stain.
The baby kicked over the Astrolabe with her ice crystal-covered feet, and from the shattered pieces of crystal, a phantom image suddenly emerged.
Inside the Frost Staff granted to him by the Elder Council three years ago, seven Spellbinding Chains coiled around it, sealing away his true talents.
Luna suddenly bit her Fingertip, and a Blood Pearl filled with starlight shot out onto Scepter Xu Ying. The chains abruptly manifested and broke apart.
"They made me believe I could only control Wind and Snow..." Brother San trembled as he touched the floating remnants of the chains in the air. Each piece of Remains reflected the altered test results from his childhood.
Luna suddenly grabbed his Wrist and pressed it against the ice wall. The Wall instantly revealed a complete Elemental Star Map, where the stars representing his innate talent shone brightly in the fire element area.
Qin Si timely presented an old Cultivation Notebook, and as the yellowed pages turned, an Ice Crystal Bookmark melted away to reveal Aelia's notes on dual-element fusion from her youth.
Brother San stared blankly at the Ice and Fire Dual-colored Vortex rising from his Palm, then suddenly knelt on one knee and kissed Luna's swaddled form. "Starting tomorrow, I will enter seclusion in the Extreme Freezing Chamber for three months."
When the eleventh moon rose above the Castle Spire, Aelia pushed open a secret door leading to the Cellar with Han Qi.
Qin Si immediately spread out the organized Contract Document across the Ice Crystal Long Table, her Fingertip glowing with starlight as it precisely marked changes in Elder Seven's private assets.
The Ice Armor beneath her Maid Outfit jingled softly with her swift movements, while an Ice Crystal Hairpin in her hair reflected the movements of each room in real-time.
"Exchange all Ice Crystal Birds from the Northern Merchant Association for Snowy Owls." Aelia stamped the last page of the Contract with a Frost Mark and looked up just in time to see Qin Si freeze a Servant attempting to send a warning with her Skirt.
The Maid remained composed as she shook off Ice Shards, and three Listening Crystals slipped out from within the cover of her ledger.
Suddenly, Luna's Loud Cry echoed from the Nursery, accompanied by a Sound Wave infused with magic that shattered all listening devices.
Qin Si immediately injected Frost Power into the Transmission Array, and the ears of every Servant in the castle simultaneously bloomed with Ice Bloom: "Those on duty tonight, proceed to the East Wing to collect the Starry Cloak."
As the moonlight flowed over the castle's West Side and down the Spiral Staircase, Lucius stood at the edge of the Astrology Platform.
The melted juice of Ice Bloom had unknowingly solidified into a blood-red substance. The night wind carried Luna's intermittent cries, and he suddenly noticed that his shadow under the moonlight had split into two—one holding an Ice Sword, while the other Palm was pulsating with Heiyan.
When Lucius turned to look for Aelia, the ice crystals remaining in his sleeves suddenly shattered.
The sparkling fragments bizarrely hovered in mid-air before falling, piecing together half a face that resembled his own but was covered in Curse marks.
The Night Owl's screech pierced the sky, and the boy failed to notice that on the stone wall illuminated by moonlight behind him, the hand holding Heiyan from his split shadow was slowly reaching towards the castle's core, the Frost Throne.
Ice Crystal Shards trembled before Lucius's nose, reflecting the turbulent waves in his Pupil.
He lowered his Awareness to touch the Frost Short Sword at his Waist, and surprisingly, the hand holding Heiyan in his split shadow lifted in sync—the night wind wrapped around Luna's intermittent cries, suddenly swirling the shattered ice into a spiral.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" Qin Si's voice accompanied an Ice Spike that burst through the window. The Ice Armor emerging beneath the Maid Outfit instantly froze a shadow attempting to ambush him.
Lucius snapped back to reality; within his split shadow, the figure holding the sword suddenly surged. The Ice Blue sword energy shattered the hovering Curse Face.
A clear ringing sound suddenly came from the direction of the Nursery; Luna's Silver Rattle shook on its own under the moonlight.
Lucius felt a sharp pain in his Earlobe; a Tooth Mark left by Sister three days ago oozed starlight, and those Light Spots began to form Aelia's Frost Family Crest in mid-air.
Taking a deep breath, he pressed his Palm with Heiyan against the Ice Sword. In the mingling of hot and cold Bai Wu emerged Luna gnawing on her fingers Xu Ying.
"Light and darkness..." Lucius suddenly gripped the Ice Sword and sliced through his Palm. The track of Blood Pearl droplets perfectly overlapped with the shattered ice crystals on the Astrology Platform.
The split shadow twisted and merged in Blood Light, ultimately solidifying into a new form entwined with Ice Flame.
He unfastened the silver chain adorned with the Ice Bloom and tossed the blood-stained Jade Pendant towards the Nursery window.
Meanwhile, deep within the Cellar, Leonard pressed the bloodied Parchment against the center of the Magic Circle.
Seven Elder Rings spun in Heiyan, reflecting the Sheen Pattern on his sleeves as if it were alive. "Aelia cannot discover the Blood Sacrifice..." he murmured, crushing the Crystal Pen. The splintered shards suddenly coalesced into an Ice Mirror, revealing the cursed eye slowly awakening within the iron ore of the Northern Territory.
The Lord abruptly swung his sleeve to shatter the Ice Mirror, but his Dark Red Robe was frozen at the hem by Ice Shards that splashed from within the mirror.
He realized with alarm that the temperature in the secret chamber had plummeted, as ice crystals seeped through the wall cracks, spreading along a specific Track—those patterns were identical to the Bing Zan designs in Aelia's hair.
In a panic, he bit his Fingertip to draw a Blood Curse, only to see his Blood Pearl coalesce in mid-air into a Star Pattern on Luna's Swaddling.
"Someone! Replace all of the Warm Sunstone in the East Wing with..." Leonard's command was interrupted by a sudden explosion from a Transmitting Crystal.
In the Ice Mist, Leonard's Last Night at the Training Ground emerged, where an Ice Flame that should have been sealed quietly burned in Lucius's Palm.
Furiously, he kicked over the altar, unaware that within a fallen Black Crystal, the Curse Power belonging to the Eldest Son was being devoured by some starlight.
Inside the Nursery, Luna was trying to shove the silver chain Jade Pendant into her mouth.
Qin Si was about to intervene when she noticed that the Ice Bloom and Jade Pendant were melting into Xing Wu in the infant's mouth, seeping into her neck's Bing Wen and Luna.
Aelia suddenly pushed open the door, remnants of Ice Lotus patterns on her Skirt still stained with black moss unique to the Cellar.
"Mother, Northern Merchant Association..." Lucius's voice caught in his throat.
The boy gazed at Aelia's newly frosted hair and suddenly recalled how twenty years ago at the Winter Night Banquet, Mother had shattered an assassin's curse with such an Ice Crystal Hairpin.
He knelt on one knee and presented a short sword entwined with Ice Flame, noticing that at some point, a Milk Tooth imprint from Sister had formed on its hilt.
Aelia's fingertips brushed against the Sword Body, and the intertwining patterns of ice and fire suddenly reflected the image of the Cellar Magic Circle.
She pressed the short sword against Luna's heart, and the baby's suddenly opened eyes shimmered with the complete Celestial Chart: "Go retrieve what lies beneath the seventh Peacock Stone Tile in the West Corridor."
When Lucius returned, cradling a frost-covered Bronze Box, he stumbled upon Qin Si freezing the twelfth Servant who had attempted to spy.
The Maid's Ice Armor had spread to her collarbone, and the Ice Spikes formed from her Hair Tips encapsulated the terrified expressions of various rooms' Eye Shadows.
The moonlight in the Nursery twisted into a vortex, and Luna's Loud Cry, infused with starlight, shattered the Bronze Box—inside lay sealed Leonard's Oath Scroll from when he sought to marry Aelia.
"By frost as witness, by stars as allies..." Aelia recited the scroll's beginning before suddenly laughing coldly; the Parchment dampened by Luna's saliva revealed hidden Blood Curse Patterns.
Those vine-like patterns once thought decorative perfectly matched the Puppet Curse within the Elder Council's Forbidden Techniques Codex.
A sudden sound of crystal chains exploding echoed from somewhere in the castle, causing the Ice Flame on Lucius's Leonard's Sword to surge three feet high.
Qin Si quickly erected an Ice Barrier at the window, reflecting Leonard's frantic attempts to repair the Magic Circle.
Luna suddenly grasped Brother San's sword blade; in that moment of blood mingling with starlight, the image within the Ice Barrier shifted to a wedding scene from Twenty Years Ago—the Young Lord hiding a cursed crystal within his bouquet now resonated with light in the current magic array.
"It all began back then..." Ailya's silver hair stirred without wind, and a Bing Zan unexpectedly elongated into a Scepter.
She lifted Luna above her head, and the starlight erupting from the baby resonated with the defenses of the Magic Castle.
The entire castle's ice crystal decorations simultaneously hummed as Leonard's Sword emitted a sound, forming a massive Thorned Crown pattern in the night sky.
Leonard was horrified to see the altar begin to reverse its operation; seven Elder Rings uncontrollably flew toward the Nursery.
In a frenzy, he urged his Black Magic to intercept them but was backfired by the suddenly awakened Eye of Curse; black spiderweb-like patterns crawled up his Left Arm in an instant.
In his panic, he bit his Tongue and spewed forth Blood Mist, only to see within the Blood Light Luna flowing with millennia of wisdom belonging to the Great Mage.
"Impossible!
This is clearly..." Lord roared as he crushed the Teleport Crystal, unaware of the strands of starlight clinging to his Robe's Lining.
The ground where he had stood oozed ice crystals, slowly forming the shape of a Tooth Mark left by Luna gnawing on a Crystal Baby Bottle.
As the eleventh moon began to set in the west, Qin Si was sealing the last trembling Peacock Stone Tile in the corridor.
Frost Power seeped into the Brick Gap as Shan Na suddenly heard a faint Sobbing sound—three Servants holding late-night snacks stood with vacant expressions, their fingers beneath the tray oozing black mist.
The Housekeeper, unfazed, froze their ankles and as she turned, Ice Shards swept from her Skirt, allowing Xing Mang to silently slip into the ventilation shaft.
In the Nursery, the Ice Crystal Window flowers inexplicably melted, and Luna stared at the water stains forming a temporary Star Map while Yi Ya shouted.
Aelia followed her finger's direction and discovered that where dawn should have illuminated the horizon, half a moon, devoured by black mist, was suspended in the sky.
The Lady of the Fortress discreetly flicked off ice crystals from her sleeves, ensuring no one noticed that when those Ice Shards hit the ground, they faintly formed warning runes of Dark Magic.
Lucius paused as he wiped his sword blade; the Ice Flame reflected an eerie pattern melting on the snow-covered windowsill—clearly a variant design of a black Magic Circle Core.
Just as the boy was about to speak, the entire castle suddenly trembled slightly, and all ice crystal decorations simultaneously exuded fleeting black mist.
Amid Luna's Loud Cry, the Ice Armor of Qian Si Skirt suddenly emitted an ominous cracking sound. The Housekeeper's pupils constricted as she looked down and discovered that all the Servants' Eyes frozen within the Ice Layer had unknowingly transformed into Serpent's Shu Tong.
