In the Glorious Demon Fortress, where the morning mist had yet to dissipate, Qin Si trembled slightly while cradling the swaddled infant.
Luna could clearly feel the vibrations emanating from the maid Collarbone—this was the response of the Magic Fortress Defense Barrier as it identified the intruder's Bloodline through Resonance.
She deliberately bit down on the Crystal Pacifier, the sound of it creaking resonating with the magical energy stored in her alchemically enhanced vocal cords.
"Debt—collecting—"
The Baby Voice wrapped in a Child's Voice crashed through the Gilded Oak Door, startling Leonard, who was reviewing the Original Document. His veins bulged as he gripped his Goose Quill, which spread ink across the Parchment.
Twelve floating candle holders exploded in response, orange-red wax tears dripping onto his Dark Robe, forming a grotesque imprint resembling a Magic Dragon's claw.
Four Dragon Blood Knights pressed down on Leonard's Sword with their Awareness but froze in place upon seeing the intruder.
The baby in the swaddle was using its chubby fingers to trace a Contract Rune, while the Crystal Baby Bottle floating above refracted a seven-colored Halo in the morning light—remnants of last night's Alchemy spell that had triggered alarms proclaiming, "In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure."
"Take this child to the toy room." Leonard cast a Silencing Spell, causing the sleeping Magic Dragon Relief on his Amethyst desk to suddenly open its six eyes. "Or do you want the council Elders to know that the Lord of the Frost Fortress is being threatened by someone in a Diaper?"
Luna bit down on the moonstone Button on Qin Si's chest, and the unique Chaotic Magic of infants instantly shattered the silence barrier.
Tilting her head towards Relief, she blew out a string of Luna spells. Those eyes, capable of piercing through steel armor, began to shed tears, washing over Relief's black Obsidian scales until they gleamed.
"The Celestial Divination Instrument is in 'In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure.' Third Secret Chamber." She patted at the Contract Parchment with her tiny hand, causing the Magic Script to automatically reorganize into a three-dimensional map of Magic Castle. "Or would you prefer I show you this Memory Crystal?" A miniature Projection stone embedded in the lace of her swaddle flickered with a blurry silhouette—it was Leonard embracing the Red-Haired Witch as they entered Emerald Manor during Leonard's Last Night.
The breaths of the Dragon Blood Knights suddenly grew heavy; their Family Crest inside their armor began to heat up.
Luna knew that these knights' loyalty Contract was tied to their mistress's Bloodline. At this moment, Aelia's Wedding Ring was likely burning her finger bones at the end of the corridor.
The urgent sound of the Silver Bell echoed through the Emerald Corridor as Aelia turned the corner, her Peacock Blue Hem trailing behind her. Chen Lu's Ice Crystal Hairpin glistened with droplets forming at her temples.
This Lady of the Fortress, renowned for her elegance, hadn't even had time to put on gloves, exposing the scorch mark on her ring finger left by Ailina's Burn beneath her Wedding Ring.
"Luna dear, we shouldn't disturb..." The gentle admonition was abruptly cut off as the infant suddenly aimed the Memory Crystal at the sunlight prism in the Dome.
In the enlarged projection, Leonard was pinning a Frost Rose from the Family Legacy into Leonard's Concubine's hair—a magical flower that should never wilt, now blooming on the chest of the Red-Haired Witch.
Aelia stumbled against the Door Frame, her palm's Healing Magic spiraling out of control and freezing the Malachite Door Frame into an Ice Sculpture.
She watched as the familiar Serpent-Shaped Birthmark on her husband's nape swayed in the projection; it was the mark she had kissed on their wedding night, vowing to protect him for life.
"The crime of the Forged Memory Crystal..." Leonard was enveloped in black mist, a deafening roar emanating from the Magic Dragon Relief behind him.
But Luna preemptively released droplets of golden blood, causing the Family Crest Mark on the Contract Parchment to suddenly invert. The very foundation of the Magic Castle let out a grinding roar—this was a Blood Oath established by the First Generation Fortress Master; when direct bloodlines faced injustice, all defensive magic would enter self-check mode.
"In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure." A Crystal Explosion Sound echoed as the Celestial Divination Instrument automatically disassembled into seven hundred twenty floating components.
Luna's Alchemical Baby Bottle frantically absorbed the escaping Xing Hui, and to her astonishment, the Mage's Mark emerging from the Bottle perfectly aligned with the Ancient Emblem on the Castle Dome.
Aelia's Pearl Necklace suddenly snapped, and as its beads rolled across the Ground, they formed a Divination Array.
When she saw Betrayal display "Gemini Retrograde," a fine crack appeared on the Ice Blue Sapphire of her Wedding Ring.
This woman, who always maintained Ailya's White Nails with rose petal juice, now let broken crystals slice through her Fingertip as she stared blankly at the remnants of Blue Iris Pollen on her husband's cuff—a magical plant unique to Emerald Manor.
The eyes of the Magic Dragon Relief suddenly all turned toward the door, and Leonard's Goose Quill in hand snapped in response.
Frost on the Ebony Door Frame reflected Aelia's pale face, with melting ice crystals from her hair cascading like tears into her collar. At the end of the corridor, a faint tremor echoed as Qin Si called for the gardener to replace the roses.
Leonard's fingertip scraped across the Amethyst tabletop, producing a harsh sound, and the broken tip of a Goose Quill suddenly ignited with Azure Blue Flame.
He raised his hand to throw the remnants of the quill at the Dome Projection, but as the flame reached the Red-Haired Witch Xu Ying, she abruptly closed her Shan Na with five fingers—sparks extinguished instantly, transforming into a wisp enveloped in Iris Fragrance.
"Child's play with Illusion Magic." The Blood Light from the claw marks of the Magic Dragon on the hem of his Dark Robe glimmered as Leonard brushed away tears from the dragon's eye on the Relief. Six Jin Wen crawled up his forearm along his knuckles. "Last night, you indulged in Starshine Candy in the name of the Moon Goddess, enough to make the Memory Crystal reveal anything..."
Luna suddenly kicked away Qin Si's trembling hand and rolled onto the sheepskin carpet wrapped in Lace Swaddle.
Her uniquely soft joints allowed her to easily slip past Leonard's Sword wielded by the Dragon Blood Knight, and her palm, stained with milk, slapped against the third reverse scale of the Magic Dragon Relief with a loud smack.
The verification array that had slept for three hundred years suddenly activated, revealing golden Iris emerging from the surface of Dragon Scales—"Only those of pure Bloodline can see."
"On the last Full Moon Night, at Emerald Manor's West Tower." Luna's Sound Wave reverberated, causing the Crystal Chandelier to chime. The liquid swirling in the Crystal Baby Bottle reflected a Starry Sky Totem. "Your Leonard's Concubine wore a backless outfit made from Fire Lizard skin, with a Fallen Angel tattoo bought from the black market on her right shoulder blade—do you need me to show how she bathed in Frost Rose on Leonard's Last Night?"
Leonard's cuff suddenly flicked out a Shadow Chain, but it was absorbed by the Crystal Baby Bottle as it touched the baby's hair swirl.
Ripples appeared on the surface of Alchemy glass, transforming Shadow Magic into pink bubbles that floated towards Aelia.
Those bubbles burst with a pop upon reaching Lady of the Fortress's fingertip, spilling forth Memory Fragments infused with citrus Cedar Fragrance—echoing the Red-Haired Witch's raucous laughter when she tossed Frost Rose into the bath.
"Enough!" The Lord of the Frost Fortress finally lost composure and overturned the Amethyst table. Twelve floating candlesticks coalesced into a sword formation in mid-air.
A strange Zi Mang glimmered on his serpent-shaped birthmark at the nape of his neck. However, as Sword Tip pointed towards the baby's Shan Na, he heard a metallic wail—all blades suddenly reversed direction, aimed directly at their master's quivering throat.
Aelia staggered to support herself against the Ice Sculpture Door Frame, her frostbitten fingers leaving bloody handprints on the Peacock Blue Door Frame.
Ice crystals melting in her hair mixed with tears, cascading down to her collarbone, forming sharp ice spikes at the crack of her wedding ring. "Last year you said you would reinforce the Northern Border Barrier for a whole seven days..."
"That woman has a fallen angel missing its left wing." Luna seized the opportunity to roll to Aelia's skirt edge, using her fingertip smeared with Starshine Candy to outline a magic circle. "Because you covered the Contract Mark with the Family Crest—do I need to explain what lies buried beneath Emerald Manor?"
Leonard's sudden appearance shattered seven colored glazed windows, and morning mist swirled in with rose petals.
His bloodshot eyes fixated on the spinning Contract Parchment in the infant's hand, where the automatically reassembling magic script pieced together a three-dimensional map of Emerald Manor.
As the Frost Rose soaked in the Blood Pool within the Underground Altar revealed itself, four Dragon Blood Knights simultaneously drew their swords three inches from their sheaths—the emblems inside their armor glowing red hot.
"Illusions!
All illusions!" The Lord of the Frost Fortress waved his sleeve to sweep away the floating Starshine Candy particles, only for the splattered Tang Jing to form constellations before Aelia.
The Lady of the Fortress's neck, adorned with remnants of pearls, suddenly levitated into a Star Divination Array, clearly displaying the number of Long Jing that Leonard had ordered taken last night from "In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure," perfectly matching the Magic Source consumed by Emerald Manor's Underground Altar.
Aelia's peacock blue hem fluttered without wind, and the ice crystal hairpin at her temple suddenly exploded into powder.
Her trembling fingertip brushed against the gradually solidifying image of Leonard's concubine. Upon seeing the dragon blood essence earrings dangling from the red-haired witch's earlobe, she suddenly let out a broken laugh. "This is what you said you would leave for our daughter when I was pregnant with Lucius..."
A thunderous roar echoed from the East Wing as the Blood Oath triggered by the First Generation Fortress Master finally reached the study.
The eyes of portraits depicting past Lords began to turn, their scepters pointing directly at Leonard.
Seizing the moment, Luna blew out a rainbow bubble, imprinting the magic script from the Contract Parchment onto the dome—each tiny inscription stained with the blood oath of the First Generation Fortress Master.
"Father!"
The Teleportation Circle in the North Tower suddenly… A clear voice of a young boy shattered around the corner of the corridor, as shadows cast by the crystal chandelier revealed someone rushing toward them.
The Dragon Blood Knights sheathed Leonard's Sword all at once, their armor seeping wisps of Blood Mist—an ominous sign that their loyalty Contract was about to backfire.
Cold sweat dripped from Leonard's forehead onto the Magic Dragon Relief, corroding it into a hissing Scorch Mark.
He abruptly tore off the Silver Thread trim of his Dark Robe, revealing the Frost Rose Family Crest embroidered on the inside.
However, the Dark Purple Thread that should have been as pure as jade was now tainted with a murky gray, resembling the cracks gradually spreading across Aelia's Wedding Ring.
Luna suddenly grabbed the hem of Aelia's skirt for support and stood up, her swaying infant body perfectly blocking the morning light from outside.
As the Lady of the Fortress staggered back, the morning light cast their shadows upon the Magic Dragon Relief—within the outline of the baby, the figure of Great Mage Xu Ying overlapped, while Aelia's shadow began to shatter into countless ice crystals.
"Mother!
Don't touch that Magic Circle!" The urgent footsteps reverberated through the corridor, causing the armor display racks to hum. A Jian Qiao adorned with Dragon Scales suddenly fell to the ground.
Suspended Starshine Candy formed warning runes, indicating that a pure Bloodline was rapidly approaching the self-checking Defensive Barrier.
Leonard suddenly crushed the Communication Crystal in his cuff, and an image of Emerald Manor dissipated like smoke between his fingers.
As he turned, his Dark Robe billowed like a tide of night but could not conceal the Contract Mark of Leonard's Concubine emerging on his Nape Birthmark.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the shattered Colored Glazed Window and fell at Aelia's feet, the Wedding Ring on the Lady of the Fortress's ring finger finally "clicked" and broke, half an Ice Blue Sapphire rolling to the edge of Luna's swaddling blanket.
The baby suddenly let out a loud cry, causing the Alchemical Baby Bottle to explode.
The splashing liquid in the air coalesced into the phantom of the First Generation Fortress Master making a vow with their partner, while the chaotic footsteps echoing down the corridor became distinctly audible—short boots inlaid with Long Tooth crushed the scattered Rose Petals underfoot.
The six eyes of the Magic Dragon suddenly turned toward the doorway, reflecting the sight of a figure in a flying academy cloak, softened by Luna's influence.
At Aelia's feet, an Ice Blue Sapphire suddenly levitated, refracting the astonished expression of a young boy in the morning light. Meanwhile, Blue Iris Pollen lingering at Leonard's cuffs was swept away by a sudden gust of wind, drifting toward the Violet Carpet outside the study—where a leather satchel adorned with a Family Crest Mark had just landed.
The short boots inlaid with Long Tooth skidded to a halt at the threshold, and Advanced Magic Pattern Analysis thudded heavily onto the Peacock Blue Carpet.
The Silver Thread trim of the boy's academy cloak continued to shed Xing Xu, clearly indicating he had hurried back using an emergency Teleportation Scroll.
In his Pupil, the floating Blood Contract was reflected, while his left hand brushed against his chest where the Family Crest lay—its Frost Rose seeping Frost Flower from his Palm.
"Is Mother’s Ice Crystal Crown buried beneath Emerald Manor?" The boy's trembling question was shattered into fragments by the chime of the Crystal Chandelier's Zhen Chan.
He stumbled upon a Wedding Ring Fragment, and the Ice Blue Sapphire beneath his Boot Sole emitted a faint cracking sound, reminiscent of the brittle snap when Aelia had presented him with his Leonard badge during last year's coming-of-age ceremony.
Suddenly, Blue Iris Pollen at Leonard's cuffs ignited, as purple Dark Purple Flame licked at the suspended Contract Parchment.
The Lord of the Frost Fortress reached out toward Luna's swaddled form but caught sight of the infant’s neck flashing with Leonard's Soul Mark—the Guardian Mark triggered during the Blood Oath self-check.
His bloodshot eyes scanned the chaotic scene before finally settling on the frost crystallizing on his son's badge.
"Lucius, come here." His hoarse voice carried an enchanting Zhen Chan; it was the first time in seventeen years that Father had employed Bloodline summoning magic.
The Dragon Blood Essence Earrings dangling from the boy’s Earlobe suddenly grew warm; they were a Birthday Gift crafted by Aelia last year using gems from her Wedding Ring.
Luna suddenly let out a loud Lactation Burp, and fragments of an Alchemical Baby Bottle unexpectedly fused into the shape of the First Generation Fortress Master's Crown.
A beam of light shot from the tip of the Crown, piercing through Leonard's chest where the Family Crest lay, casting a distorted shadow on the wall—the shadow unmistakably resembling the Fallen Angel tattoo on Leonard's Concubine's neck.
"Mother!" Lucius suddenly erupted, crashing through the obstructing Dragon Blood Knight. As the scaled Xuanbing Bracers brushed past Father’s Dark Robe, a blood-red Iris seed rolled out from the cuff's Dark Pattern.
The boy recognized it as the medium required for the Forbidden Technique of the Magic Castle; it was with this very seed that Father had taught him to seal dark creatures last year.
Aelia's Pearl Hairnet suddenly shattered completely, and the falling beads formed the Ancient Magic Script spelling out "Betrayer's Death" on the ground.
Her Peacock Blue skirt swept over Luna's swaddled form, and the silver bell on the baby's wrist suddenly chimed "Frost Requiem"—the lament played during the burial of Matriarchs in the Magic Castle.
"Aelia!" Leonard's heart-wrenching cry shattered the last Colored Glazed Window, and a cold wind from December swept in, carrying Rose Thorns into the room.
The Chasing Spell Seal that he had gathered at his fingertip suddenly disintegrated into Stardust—the "Eternal Oath" vow set before the master bedroom's Dressing Mirror was backfiring.
The bloodied fingertip of the Lady of the Fortress brushed against the Door Frame Ice Sculpture, and those congealed Blood Pearls suddenly transformed into Ice Sparrows, flapping their wings and flying deep into the corridor.
A lingering Crystal Hairpin in her hair projected an image of Lucius as a baby; in Leonard's Last Night, Leonard was pinning a freshly bloomed Frost Rose into her postnatal pale hair.
"Father, that Red-Haired Woman in the Projection..." Lucius suddenly clutched his chest and knelt on the ground; his Academy Emblem was burning his skin. "Last week you said you were going to inspect the black market Magic Artifacts at the border..."
Luna let out a sharp Loud Cry, and the shattered glass of a Crystal Baby Bottle suddenly formed a sand table model of Emerald Manor.
As the Frost Rose Root System pierced through Aelia's Ice Crystal Crown remnants in the Blood Pool, four Dragon Blood Knights drew Leonard's Sword simultaneously, pointing it at Leonard—their armor gaps were seeping with Blood Tears from Contract Backlash.
"The Castle Self-Inspection Procedure has three minutes remaining." The murmuring voice of a baby sucking on a Crystal Pacifier caused the Magic Dragon Relief to tremble violently. "I suggest Father first explain why Leonard's Concubine can manipulate the North Tower's Teleportation Circle—"
Before he could finish, the First Generation Fortress Master's Image on the study's West Wall suddenly spoke: "Leonard Frost Oath, you have violated Article Seven of the Blood Pact!" The Scepter in hand shot out Blood-Red Chains but was shattered by a Magical Fluctuation coming from Emerald Manor just before it reached the Current Fortress Lord.
As Aelia turned back for the last time, the morning light illuminated the scorch mark on her neck left by the wedding ring's burn.
The woman who always gently combed the Eldest Son's curly hair now pressed her bloodied palm against the track of the Ice Sparrow as it flew away. Her frostbitten fingertips left a handprint with ice crystals on the wall—this was the highest-level emergency sealing gesture of the Magic Castle.
"Mother! Wait!" Lucius shouted just as he was about to chase after her, but suddenly, an emerging teleportation barrier activated under his feet—this was the protective measure initiated by Aelia with her matriarchal authority.
The boy pounded frantically against the magical barrier, and as the academy's cloak trembled, a crumpled note fell out—last night, Father had mentioned that an urgent matter at the border required his help to decipher an Ancient Demon Script.
Luna's swaddling suddenly seeped with Xing Hui, and the lace edges torn by the baby's milk teeth automatically formed a map of Emerald Manor.
As Aelia's Ice Crystal Crown emerged from the bottom of the Blood Pool, a floating contract parchment spontaneously ignited, revealing charred remnants of the Guardian Charm buried by Qin Si in the rose garden half a month ago.
A cold wind swept through, carrying rose thorns around the corner of the Emerald Corridor, where Qin Si stood frozen behind an armor display, clutching a freshly picked Winter Rose.
The communication crystal in her maid outfit pocket was growing hot, illuminating her pupils with the swaying residual shadow of the swaddling—traces of Starshine Candy clearly matched the magical residue from three months ago during the treasure heist.
