As the Ice Crystal shattered into fragments, Luna was gnawing at the railing of the Lustrous Cradle.
The Rainbow Light pillar pierced through the seven layers of Ice Layer in the Cellar, forming a half-broken Star Pattern on her pink Palm.
In the depths of the Liuli Color Pupil of the infant girl, the blood-red mist rising from the direction of the bathing pool was reflected.
Aelia stepped over the ground covered with withered Moonlight Roses, and the Ice Spirit Stone on her Wedding Ring continuously oozed Blue-Violet venom.
She pressed the blood-stained remnants of a Witch Doll against the gap in the Star Map, and suddenly, the surface of the bathing pool surged with images from Fifteen Years Ago—the time when Leonard used a Thorn Bird's tail feather to braid her hair, saying that the roses of Morning Dew Manor would forever bloom only for their mistress.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed as he grabbed Aelia's bloodied left hand.
The Parchment Contract unfurled in Cedar Essential Oil into a Magic Mirror, and the rose at the temple of the Silver-Robed Woman bore an uncanny resemblance to the one Leonard had once pinned behind her Ear, both adorned with identical seven-layered serrated petals.
Amidst the eighth rupture of Ice Layer in the Cellar, Luna suddenly let out a loud cry.
The Rainbow Light enveloped and lifted the Cradle into the air, accurately shattering the Curse Crystal hanging from the Dome.
As the Purple Poison Fog dissipated, Shan Na noticed that her brother's Wheelchair Armrest had suddenly faded to a grayish-white after ten years of being occupied by a Viper Totem.
"The Curse Source is in the rose garden of Morning Dew Manor," Luna whispered into Aelia's mind through Magic Resonance. The chubby infant's index finger was poking at the soil beneath the Silver-Robed Woman in the mirror—those Dark Red particles were precisely what her brother had spilled when he fell victim to a curse years ago, Dragon Blood Sand.
Aelia stumbled and fell onto the floating Star Map, and her Wedding Ring burned crescent-shaped cracks into the teak floor.
She recalled that night when Luna was born; Leonard had said he was going north to suppress a beast uprising, yet his cloak was stained with Morning Dew Manor's unique Night Dew Butterfly Scale Powder.
"Go fetch the Frost Dragon's Bone Marrow." Aelia suddenly tightened her grip on Qin Si's Wrist as the Blood Pact Parchment inside the Gilded Box began to burn. "We need to mix it with tears from those betrayed by their lovers—Luna's swaddling holds just about three ounces."
Amidst the tremors of the ninth Ice Crack in the Cellar, her brother let out his first complete Chang Xiao in ten years from his Wheelchair.
The Fingertip that Luna had bitten pressed against a shard of Curse Crystal as Frost Dragon Xu Ying soared up from behind her, freezing the black mist that had drilled out from her brother's leg bones into ice crystals.
"To break the curse, blood from a Close Kin is needed as a catalyst." The eldest brother trembled as he touched his knee, which had regained sensation. The grayish-white Viper Totem on the Wheelchair Armrest was transforming into Ice Blue Dragon Scales. "But Father clearly said this was an unsolvable curse..."
Luna rolled over in the Cradle, stuffing her feet, stained with Dragon Blood Sand, into her mouth.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly erupted with a blinding Strong Light, and the Silver-Robed Woman in the mirror turned to Shan Na. The Emerald Pendant on her Earlobe perfectly aligned with Brother San's missing Rite of Passage Adornment from last year.
As the Midnight Bell Tolls struck the twelfth chime, a Blue-Tailed Flycatcher outside Second Brother's window suddenly spoke human words.
Luna gazed at the feathers that had fallen by the Cradle and noticed that each feather's tip was crystallized with Second Brother's dear friend's Family Crest—those Ice Crystal Patterns matched seamlessly with the cracks in her Palm's incomplete Star Map.
When the Colored Glazed Window in Second Brother's attic was covered in frost, Luna was using her saliva to draw a Star Chart in the Cradle.
The feathers shed by the Blue-Tailed Flycatcher melted into silver foil under the moonlight, and the chubby infant's Palm suddenly erupted with three-pronged ice spikes, pinning the tenth feather, which reeked of Sulfur, to the teak floor.
"The Bloodline Contract of the Arnold Family." Luna whispered into Second Brother's ear with Magic Resonance, her baby-like soft voice wrapped in the pressure of a Great Mage.
The feather pierced by the ice spike suddenly revealed Lava Patterns that perfectly overlapped with Ailina's Burn mark on Second Brother's Hand Back, which had remained unhealed for ten years.
Second Brother stumbled and knocked over a crystal Potion Rack, causing Wisteria Potion to etch a Phoenix Totem onto the Cashmere Carpet.
He trembled as he tore off the bandage from his left wrist; those Crimson patterns referred to as "Guardian Sigils" by his dear friend were now resonating strangely with the Lava Patterns on the feather.
"It’s not a Healing Spell; it’s a Rebirth Contract." Luna expelled Colorful Bubbles, within which emerged Leonard's Last Night—his dear friend swearing an oath by the Lava Pool alongside the Head of the Arnold Family. "He used your soul as a sacrifice to gain family inheritance."
Outside, the Blue-Tailed Flycatcher let out a mournful Qian Jiao and transformed into a fireball enveloped in Sulfur.
Second Brother's silver Pocket Watch exploded in his Palm, revealing his dear friend Lucius' Image engraved on its inner dial, now oozing Dark Red Blood Droplets—those were the maiden’s blood required for the Rebirth Contract sacrifice.
"Use Dragon Blood Sand to Mix with Frost Essence." Luna stepped her saliva-stained Little Feet onto a Node of the Star Chart, causing the moonlight outside Second Brother's window to twist into an Ice Prism.
The mirror reflected the Award Ceremony of the Magic Academy from ten years ago, where a cherished friend had hidden the edge of the Reincarnation Spell Scroll in their sleeve, still stained with Cherry Wine spilled during Second Brother's celebration feast.
As the twenty-third feather materialized beneath the ice spike, Second Brother suddenly raised his wand and jabbed it at his Ailina's Burn mark.
Frost Essence seeped into the Bloodline through the Track of Dragon Blood Sand, causing the Crimson patterns on his Hand Back to fade, ultimately crystallizing into an Ice Crystal Ring—its inner circle engraved with the long-buried sins of the Arnold Family.
Luna let out a Lactation Burp, and the Star Chart floating around the Cradle suddenly contracted into a Light Spot.
Second Brother gazed at the newly formed Ice Crystal Ring on his Palm, suddenly recalling how, on graduation day, his friend had unusually requested his Pocket Watch, claiming they wanted to engrave a commemorative rune.
"It turns out that the Magic Pattern of the Guardian Spell is inverted." He stroked his left wrist, no longer Zhuo Tong, as his magic Zhang Jian blossomed into an Ice Rose—an indication that his suppressed innate magic was finally awakening after ten long years.
When Brother San pushed open the Bronze Door of the library, he stumbled upon Luna tying up the Emerald Pendant with a Swaddling Tie.
The Star Moon Birthmark on the infant's neck glowed with Blue Light, burning away the mottled rust on the Jade Pendant's surface into Gold Dust, revealing ancient engravings in Dragon Language beneath.
"It’s not misleading; it’s a seal." Luna tossed the Jade Pendant into the air, and under the moonlight, it shattered into two halves.
With a crisp sound as the Sealing Stone hit the ground, fragments of Brother San's crystal ball from last year's Magical Talent test suddenly flew out from deep within the bookshelf and reassembled into a complete Huntian Instrument.
In the Star Map projected by the Huntian Instrument, Brother San’s Ming Xing was perpetually shrouded by the Xu Ying of the Emerald Pendant.
Luna exhaled a Luna that enveloped a certain Anstar; abruptly, the Star Map flipped—what had been deemed "low Fire Affinity" for Ming Ge revealed its unique Frost Pattern characteristic of Frost Dragon Bloodline after breaking free from its seal.
Brother San's wand slipped from his Palm as the gem embedded in its Staff Tip erupted with Ice Blue Strong Light.
The temperature in the library plummeted; on his sixteenth birthday, he had been unable to ignite the Ice Spirit Lamp, yet now it floated effortlessly in midair, its pale flames flickering with cold light.
"On Talent Test day, someone swapped out the testing crystal." Luna drew a Magic Circle on an ancient text with her saliva, and within its center, Emerald Fragments suddenly coalesced into a miniature model of Morning Dew Manor.
In the rose garden of the Northwest Corner model, a Controlling Spirit Stone engraved with Leonard's Emblem was glowing with a soft light.
Brother San picked up his wand, and veins bulged on his hand as all the ancient books in the library began to flutter open without wind.
When the seventh layer of the Huntian Instrument's Star Ring fully illuminated, his right arm, once deemed "magically stagnant" in his youth, suddenly became covered in Ice Scales and crushed the floating Emerald Pendant with his bare hands.
"Tomorrow, I will begin to reconstruct the Frost Curse." His eyes surged with a violent Yin Mang reminiscent of Wind and Snow, as the magic suppressed by the Sealing Stone for ten years surged through his Bloodline.
Deep within the bookshelf, a dusty copy of Northern Secret Arts automatically opened, its yellowed pages revealing an Ancient Spell Text that resonated with the newly formed Frost Pattern on his hand.
As Qin Si pushed open the dormitory door holding a Bone Marrow vial surrounded by Ice Mist, Aelia was lost in thought before a Burning Blood Pact Parchment.
Madam Pale's fingers brushed over the Crystal Mirror, and suddenly, the Emerald Pendant of the Silver-Robed Woman in the mirror resonated with the fluctuations from Brother San breaking the seal, shattering the moonstone powder box on the grooming table.
"Madam should take a Sedative." Qin Si placed the Bone Marrow vial into the Liujin temperature-controlled box and caught sight of Aelia's sleeve stained with Curse Crystal residue.
The Purple Crystal Shards crawled across the teak floor, piecing together an outline of Leonard and the Silver-Robed Woman kissing in the rose garden.
Aelia suddenly coughed violently, blood pearls leaking between her fingers blossoming into Poisonous Roses on the Cashmere Carpet.
The Guardian Silver Chain on her wrist broke inch by inch, each segment transforming into Ice Butterflies upon hitting the ground, shattering those increasingly tangible moments of Leonard's Last Night.
"Get me three ounces of Night Dew Butterfly Scale Powder." She dipped her Wedding Ring into the Bone Marrow vial; after absorbing the liquid, the Ring Face Ice Spirit Stone emerged a three-dimensional map of Morning Dew Manor. "We need to mix it into Luna's Cradle where there should still be yesterday's twin Buds blessed by Close Kin."
Qin Si hesitated as he looked at Madam's pale lips before silently bowing in respect.
As she turned around, Aelia suddenly reached out to touch a floating shard of Curse Crystal. The wound on her fingertip no longer bled but oozed an Ice Blue Liquid shimmering with Xing Hui—an indication of backlash from excessive use of Prophecy Magic.
The Blood Pact Ashes in the Liujin box spontaneously ignited without flame, sketching out Leonard signing a transfer agreement in mid-air during Leonard's Last Night.
Aelia tore the Moonstone Necklace and cast the Zhui Zi into the illusion formed by Ashes. From the explosion of Strong Light, a faint roar emerged, reminiscent of the iron door of the rose garden's Cellar opening.
As the Midnight Thirteenth bell tolled above the Magic Castle, Aelia pressed the Bloodstained Wedding Ring onto the center of the Morning Dew Manor map.
Xing Hui's blood seeped into Shan Na's Parchment, and all marked locations of Leonard and Leonard's Seal began to emerge with fine cracks.
She loosened her hair with a Silver Ribbon, allowing the white strands, prophesied by Magic Backlash, to fall over her shoulders. Yet, her fingertip firmly grasped the vial containing Luna's Blessing Power mixed with Moonlight Rose Essence.
As moonlight swept over the West Tower, Aelia was tracing a Magic Circle on the Morning Dew Manor map with Xing Hui's blood.
The cracks burned into the Parchment by the Wedding Ring suddenly twisted into the shape of a Thorn Bird, clutching a bloodied Seven-Toothed Rose as it crashed into the Crystal Lattice.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius has been lingering outside for quite some time." Qin Si poured the Moonlight Rose Essence into a Silver Cauldron and caught a glimpse of Lucius's shadow pinned in place by moonlight at the seam of the Teak Door.
The boy’s robe, embroidered with Frost Pattern, carried the unique Moldy Smell of the library, while his fingertip was still wrapped in remnants of Xing Hui from the Huntian Instrument.
Aelia waved her Silver Scissors and snipped off a strand of white hair. The moment it fell into the Silver Cauldron, it transformed into an Ice Butterfly Swarm.
When the seventh Ice Butterfly shattered Lucius's shadow reflected on the door at Midnight, he finally pushed open the slightly ajar Carved Wooden Door.
"Mother, the Guardian Barrier in the North Tower is trembling." Lucius's gaze swept over fragments of Curse Crystal floating in midair; those Purple Crystal Shards were piecing together an outline of the rose garden's Cellar. "The Head Maid said that thirty boxes of Moonlight Roses were sent from Morning Dew Manor, but... all those petals are coated with Ye Lu Die's Scale Powder."
Suddenly, Luna's Cradle emitted a clear ringing sound. The ice crystals forming on Liujin's railing revealed the figure of a Magic Messenger—the Gray Falcon that had long served Leonard in delivering Secret Letters.
Aelia’s fingertip dripped Xing Hui’s blood onto the surface of the ice crystal. Suddenly, between the gaps in Gray Falcon’s feathers emerged patterns of Leonard’s Emerald Pendant.
"Your Father always says that roses are the soul of the castle." Aelia rolled up the Morning Dew Manor map as Ice Flame ignited along its edges, consuming the last piece of Curse Crystal. "Go tell Florist to plant all the newly arrived roses in Training Ground—remember to mix in Dragon Blood Sand."
Lucius’s pupils dilated sharply.
The underground Training Ground held the remains of the Frost Dragon, a legacy of Mother and Family. The Dragon Blood Sand would activate the Guardian Barrier when heated.
As he bowed, he caught sight of Luna stuffing the Emerald Pendant into her mouth. The sound of her baby teeth clinking against the Jade Pendant matched perfectly with the frequency of the Castle Defense Array's Resonance.
In the ninth roar of Ice Crack from the Cellar, Leonard's Silver Goblet suddenly shattered.
Blood Red Wine twisted across the Cedar Wood Tabletop, forming a Magic Letter that revealed Aelia's modifications to the Guardian Barrier and Core Formation Array during Leonard's Last Night.
He loosened the collar embroidered with Golden Fleur-de-lis, and suddenly, after fifteen years, the bite mark on his neck oozed Ice Blue Liquid—this was the Love Curse Seal planted by Aelia on their wedding night.
"Master, Third Young Master Lucius has taken Dragon Blood Sand to the Training Ground." The Shadow Guard's shadow twisted into a Messenger bird shape in the candlelight. "Shall we activate the Spirit Control Array in the rose garden?"
Leonard pressed the broken goblet against the crack in the table; instead of blood, what flowed from his palm was a Dark Red Lava with a hint of Sulfur—this body should have decayed twenty years ago, sustained only by the reincarnation array in Morning Dew Manor's Cellar.
He gazed at Aelia mixing Moonlight Rose Essence in a crystal ball when suddenly, the Ice Spirit Stone on his Wedding Ring reflected an image of Silver-Robed Woman's Emerald Pendant hanging from her Earlobe.
"Send the newly offered Moonstone Necklace from the Western Realm to my lady." He dipped his finger in Lava and drew an inverted Rose Totem on Parchment; this was the Key to awaken the Spirit Control Array. "Just say... it's a gift to celebrate Luna breaking her curse."
As the Shadow Guard carried a Velvet Gift Box through the corridor, Luna suddenly giggled from her Cradle.
The baby's Milk Tooth accurately bit down on the Lock's Magic Patterns on the gift box. The Xu Ying from the Emerald Pendant burst forth from the Moonstone Necklace, painting a scene in the Dome of Silver-Robed Woman giving birth during Leonard's Last Night—a newborn boy crying loudly in a pool of blood bore an identical Golden Cress Brand on his forehead.
"My father's Magical Fluctuation is diminishing." Lucius clenched his suddenly heated Family Crest Ring, gazing at the newly planted Moonlight Rose in the Training Ground.
The soil mixed with Dragon Blood Sand was emitting a faint red mist, while the remains of the Underground Frost Dragon began to emit sounds before awakening.
Aelia tossed the Moonstone Necklace into a boiling Silver Cauldron, and as it cracked in half within the Ice Flame, she abruptly cut her long hair—those Silver White strands transformed into Spellbinding Chains upon touching the ground, ensnaring tightly around the escaping Spirit Control Array Key.
"Madam!" Qin Si, holding the Night Dew Butterfly Scale Powder, stumbled upon the Wedding Ring as it transformed into Powder amidst the Magic Backlash.
Aelia's bloodied fingertip pressed against the Star Chart drawn by Luna, and suddenly, a constellation sketched by a drooling infant lit up, accurately projecting the wilting Reborn Rose in the Morning Dew Manor's Cellar.
A loud crash echoed from the East Wing as the Crystal Chandelier fell.
Leonard stared at the suddenly shattered Rebirth Contract Stone, his Hand Back veins bulging—those Magic Patterns that sustained life were vanishing like receding tides.
He frantically searched for Ankeli's backup Contract, only to find that all the Parchment had turned into Luna's Luna's Doodle, with the infant's distorted Star Map perfectly covering the runes of the Magic Circle Core.
"Go fetch Madam to the study," he said, tearing down the curtain embroidered with Golden Cress to wrap around his right hand, which was oozing Lava. "Just say... to discuss Luna's Naming Ceremony."
As the last chime of Dawn echoed from the clock tower, Aelia was pouring Rose Essence mixed with Xing Hui's blood into the Fountain Pool.
The Frost Dragon Sculpture sleeping at the bottom of the pool suddenly opened its Left Eye, freezing the Goldfinch Crest reflected on the water's surface into an Ice Sculpture.
The servant who rushed in to report witnessed this scene; the Silver Tray in hand fell to the ground, scattering Chen Lu's Rose Petals that pieced together a fragmented Traitor's Emblem on the stone slab.
Aelia stood under the Banquet Hall Dome, cradling Luna in her swaddling. Moonlight filtered through the Colored Glass, casting mottled Light and Shadow on her Pale face.
Twelve meters of Starry Satin cascaded from the Crystal Chandelier, with Silver Thread embroidered Magic Patterns slowly flowing across the satin. This was a Magical Projection Device specially prepared by Third Young Master Lucius for the Full Moon Feast.
"Madam, the guests are watching the Testing Ceremony," Qin Si gently reminded her, his gaze sweeping over Lucius, who was adjusting equipment in a corner.
Today, this usually taciturn Third Young Master Lucius was particularly focused, his black gloves constantly adjusting the Memory Crystal hovering above the satin.
Luna kicked her legs in her Silk Satin swaddle, and her Pink fingers suddenly grasped Aelia's Pearl Necklace at her chest.
As the infant tugged without Awareness, the Magic Circle of the Banquet Hall Dome suddenly emitted a hum reminiscent of Leonard's Sword. The Healer treating Eldest Son's leg ailment abruptly looked up—the Light Spot refracted by the Crystal Chandelier danced along the Magic Pattern satin, gradually converging into a clear image of Leonard's Last Night.
"Father!" The wine glass in Second Young Master's hand suddenly shattered, the amber liquid spreading across the white tablecloth like a bloodstain.
He stared blankly at the gradually clarifying image on the satin: a man wearing a Wisteria Pattern mask was holding a newborn, standing in the delivery room, with Nightlight Ferns growing outside, which could only thrive in the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Fortress.
The air in the entire banquet hall seemed to be sucked away, and Aelia felt her pearl necklace suddenly become scorching hot.
Luna in her arms let out a Yiya sound, a strand of silver hair moving on its own, pointing towards the center of the hall where the Magic Testing Platform was set up—there lay the Element Resonance Device developed by Third Young Master Lucius.
"Look at the crystal ball!" The crowd suddenly stirred.
The transparent sphere that was supposed to test the infant's magical aptitude now reflected scenes from the Magic Castle Library: Second Son's most trusted Alchemist friend was inserting something with Black Scales into an ancient book he often read.
The Star Chart Device on Eldest Son's wheelchair suddenly spun wildly, its metal pointer pointing directly at the terrace on the East Side of the banquet hall.
There, surrounded by eerie purple flames, was Third Young Master Lucius, and the flames clearly formed patterns resembling an Ancient Contract Array.
"Aelia, let me explain!" Leonard grasped his wife's wrist but was startled to see a faint blue barrier surrounding her.
The Lady of the Fortress leaned down to kiss her daughter's Crescent Moon Birthmark on her forehead. When she raised her eyes again, they were filled with frost: "Three days ago, you sent someone to remove the Defensive Barrier from East Tower just so you could bring your illegitimate child into Magic Castle tonight?"
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry, her voice like a key unlocking the Seal of Magic.
Lucius's Magical Projection Device, which he had been adjusting for a long time, finally activated. Twelve Rays of Starry Satin lit up simultaneously, revealing all the secrets of Magic Castle from the past twenty years under the moonlight—including three Sandalwood Boxes containing cursed items in the darkroom of West Tower, each lid prominently engraved with the Birth Rune of Three Young Masters.
