The Ice Crystal Necklace refracted tiny light spots under the flickering candlelight in the hidden chamber. Aelia's trembling fingertip brushed against the end of the Marriage Contract Appendix, where the Snow Demon Emblem was etched.
Suddenly, the infant in her arms let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, and twenty-eight Starlight Gems fell in response, assembling mid-air into an illusion of Leonard kissing the Red-Haired Woman.
"Mother, look." Luna poked at the edge of the illusion with her milk-stained finger, causing Ice Crystal Shards to suddenly coalesce into two entwined Wedding Rings. "Father melted down the heirloom of the Northern Frostwolf Clan to forge this New Moon Necklace for Leonard's Concubine."
Aelia stumbled against the edge of the Blood Curse Totem at the altar, where ten years' worth of Wedding Scene memories overlapped with the illusion.
At that time, Leonard had personally placed a necklace embedded with Frostwolf Fang around her neck, saying that even the fiercest beast of the snowfields would bite through its own throat to protect its mate.
Now, a sound of chains breaking echoed from deep within the altar, and she noticed that a Blood Pearl was seeping from the Frostwolf Relief on her Wedding Ring.
"Mother, do you remember last month's Blizzard Night?" Luna's swaddling suddenly spilled Moonstone Powder, spreading out a bird's-eye view of Leonard's Secret Manor on the ground. "Father said he was inspecting the border barrier, but in reality, he was teaching Illegitimate Child to practice Ice Blade Technique there."
A Bronze Candlestick in the corner suddenly erupted with green flames, and Aelia recognized this as an accompanying phenomenon when a Child of the Frostwolf Clan awakened their magic.
She recalled how Leonard had returned home two weeks ago with his cloak smelling of Cedar Fragrance—an aroma only emitted by underage members of the Frostwolf Clan to soothe others.
The Crystal Mirror reflected her pale face; her Ice Crystal Necklace suddenly constricted, leaving twenty-eight fine blood marks around her neck.
"Madam!" A frantic knocking came from outside; it was Qin Si.
Seizing the moment, Luna bit her fingertip and flicked a Blood Pearl toward the dome's Celestial Chart in the hidden chamber.
The seven northern constellations suddenly lit up, projecting a Soul Contract signed by Leonard and Leonard's Concubine—at the end of the Contract was emblazoned Aelia's rightful Frostwolf Emblem.
Aelia's Pearl Earrings exploded into powder, and memories of Leonard kissing her ear during their wedding twenty years ago while whispering, "The pearls accentuate the starlight in your eyes," shattered into countless pieces.
Staggering, she grabbed an Astrolabe from the altar but accidentally dropped half a blood-stained swaddling fragment from its brass groove—evidence that had gone missing when she gave birth to her stillborn child.
"That child is still alive." Luna's Luna glimmered with a Great Mage's unique Lustrous Gold. "Father used a Soul Exchange Spell to swap your Eldest Son with Illegitimate Child, so my brother's Magic Backlash..."
The stone door of the secret chamber swung open with a thunderous crash, the harsh sound of the wheelchair rolling over the Lapis Lazuli floor interrupting the conversation.
Eldest Brother Pale's fingers gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, his damaged right leg frosted over with emotion.
From the Magic Tome that had fallen from his arms, an aged parchment floated out, bearing a childish handwriting that read, "I want to be an Ice Mage that makes Father proud."
"Mother, on the day of my Magic Surge when I was five..." Eldest Brother's wheelchair suddenly collided with the altar, and his remaining left hand's fingertip erupted with ice spikes far beyond what he could bear. "Father said it was because I practiced the Forbidden Technique in secret; it turns out that so-called Reverse Healing Array..."
The ice spikes transformed into blood upon touching Leonard's Soul Contract, and Eldest Brother's silver hair visibly faded to pure white.
Luna let out a sharp cry, and the Moonstone Bracelet hidden in her swaddling shattered in response, channeling the impending Ice Magic into the chamber's Geomancy.
Tears began to flow from the images of past mistresses on the walls, coalescing on the ground into an ancient Snow Demon Proverb—The weight of truth can crush even the sturdiest Ice Bridge.
When Qin Si finally broke through the barrier and rushed in, Aelia was using her Wedding Ring to cut her palm, letting blood stain the hidden Contract of the Marriage Contract Appendix.
Moonstone Powder formed a reverse Teleportation Circle beneath her feet, while outside, the Aurora twisted into a Frostwolf shape and leapt toward the north.
"Go fetch Third Young Master Lucius." Aelia lost her grip when she handed Luna to Qin Si; the infant's neck immediately bore a Frostwolf Bite mark. "And also let Second Young Master..." She paused suddenly as her fingertip brushed against the Moonstone residue on Luna's swaddling—the Silver Powder was quietly coalescing into Second Brother's Beloved Friend Family Iris Crest.
A sudden sound of shattering crystal came from the East Wing; Second Brother’s most treasured Astrolabe fell from above and shattered into seven sharp-edged pieces in the snow.
One of those shards reflected his Residual Shadow from three days ago, where he had shared Honey Wine with his close friend, with remnants of Snow Demon Scale Powder floating within it—substances that should have been extinct.
Second Brother knelt before the shards of the Astrolabe, oblivious to his thumb being cut by their sharp edges.
Moonlight streamed through the broken dome onto the remnants of Honey Wine; those Snow Demon Scale Powders that should have been lost glimmered with an eerie blue—just like the sediment at the bottom of the Coming-of-Age Wine Jar his friend had gifted him three years ago.
"So it has been since then..." His blood-stained fingers brushed over Xu Ying within the shard, and he could clearly see the Frostwolf Clan tattoo peeking out from his friend's sleeve as they raised their cups together.
The Ice Crystal Necklace revealed the Twenty-Eight Bloodstains, suddenly overlapping in his memory. It was the mark left by the Corrosive Potion that his close friend had "accidentally" spilled while he was drawing the Magic Circle for him last year.
In the snow, a series of Explosive Sounds echoed as fragments tainted with Scale Powder soared into the air, piecing together the Residual Shadow of his friend and Leonard engaged in a secret conversation on Blizzard Night.
The Astrology Robe of the Second Brother fluttered without wind, the Protective Spell embroidered at the cuffs tearing apart inch by inch. It was his friend who had persuaded him to inscribe the Secret Technique for enhancing magical perception here.
"Second Young Master!" A Servant's exclamation pierced through the air as the Second Brother suddenly pressed a whole shard into his Palm.
Blood flowed along the Groove of the Iris Crest, painting a reflection of the Beloved Friend Family Crest in the snow.
He recalled the Silver Powder pattern crystallized on Luna's Swaddling, a cold laugh mixed with Ice Shard escaping his throat: "So betrayers love to display their Inverted Family Crest."
Suddenly, a Crystal Resonance from the East Tower sent Brother San tumbling as he shattered the Ice Crystal Ball in his Hand due to the shockwave.
He stared blankly at the ground scattered with Prism-like shards, where one reflective surface showed him testing his magical power at twelve years old—Leonard had insisted that his rare spatial Magical Talent was merely "Fierce Dark Potential."
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" A Knight attempted to steady the staggering boy but was thrown off balance by a sudden eruption of Space Vortex.
Brother San looked at his magic released without Awareness, his Fingertip trembling uncontrollably.
The deliberately neglected training time whirled through his memory, each Ice Crystal Shard reflecting Leonard's unnatural twitch when he said, "Your magic will destroy Family Glory."
He bent down to pick up a blood-stained piece of swaddling, and Space Magic automatically deciphered remnants of the Soul Exchange Spell from Twenty Years Ago.
When he saw the tampering marks on his Magic Power Test Report, flames of Ice Blue ignited in his eyes: "So Father intends to use my future to pave the way for his illegitimate child."
In the shadows of the Castle Corridor, Lucius's Fingertip held a Pocket Watch suspended where Luna had just passed.
The Astrological Pointer on its dial spun wildly, tracing a Magic Trajectory that no infant should ever possess.
He bent down to pick up a fragment of moonstone, watching it coalesce in his Palm into an Encrypted Rune of Great Mage level.
"Interesting." The young man used the Serpent Ring to cut through the surface of the runes, and the truth of Lustrous Gold surged into his pupils like a living creature.
He gazed thoughtfully in the direction of the Nursery, where the cleverly concealed Time-Space Fluctuations perfectly matched the records of Great Mage Greysa from three hundred years ago.
Suddenly, a violent Wind and Snow swept across the West Terrace, and Aelia's Bloodstained Wedding Ring burned the totem of Frostwolf's lament into the Contract.
His elder brother's Wheelchair rolled over Xing Mang's Gem Shards, leaving a frostbitten Track on the Ground.
His incomplete right hand pressed against the North Wall of the secret chamber, and tears from generations of mistresses suddenly froze in reverse, revealing fifty years' worth of hidden records from the Nursery in the moonlight.
"Mother!" Brother San's voice, wrapped in Space Magic's Zhen Chan, pierced through the air. The altered Test Report he held in hand automatically reverted as it passed through the barrier.
On the yellowed Parchment, the true prophecy emerged clearly—"Starfall Child, when you use Space Power to build the Glory Shield."
Second Brother approached, stepping on the blood-stained Iris Flower Totem, with frost seeping from every crack in the hem of his Astrology Robe.
He projected his dear friend's Family Crest onto the Marriage Contract Appendix, where two symbols of betrayal gnawed at each other under the moonlight, ultimately merging into the Frostwolf Relief on Aelia's Wedding Ring.
Aurora let out a sobbing Roar from the Northern Horizon as Castle Leyline suddenly trembled violently with Zhen Chan.
The Tooth Mark on Luna's Swaddling glimmered with golden light, and a certain transcendent Magic Fluctuation extinguished all Crystal Lamps simultaneously.
In the sudden darkness that descended, twenty-eight Xing Mang surged skyward from cracks in Geomancy, piecing together an ancient Judgment Totem of the Frostwolf Clan within the Dome.
As the first Moonstone Powder fell onto Aelia's bloodied Palm, the hidden Contract on the Marriage Contract Appendix suddenly began to self-ignite.
The sound of a Crystal Bell shattering echoed from somewhere in the castle; it was an Emergency Summoning Array that only generations of Honorary Female Protagonists could activate.
Aelia looked at the gradually transparent Judgment Totem and stuffed a corner of Luna's swaddling into her Eldest Son's trembling Fingertip—there soaked with Maternal Blood capable of awakening the Frostwolf Clan's Guardian Spell.
The extinguished Crystal Lamp revealed Shan Na, while Qin Si's Fingertip, adorned with an Emerald Ring, suddenly glowed.
The Head Maid, with her silver hair cascading like a waterfall after twenty years of being tied up, let it flow freely. Three thousand strands of Azure Silk transformed into a Star Compass amidst the magical currents, precisely locking onto the twenty-eight Magic Nodes of the Judgment Totem.
"Madam, please hold this." Qin Si pressed a silk handkerchief soaked in icy mint against Aelia's bleeding lips, her other hand swiftly unfastening the seven seals of the potion box at her waist.
Sheepskin Scrolls poured out from her sleeves, unfurling to reveal cases of how previous mistresses dealt with traitors—at the top was a fresh inked strategy she had just written while waiting outside.
Luna's Loud Cry fluctuated within the Lustrous Cradle as Qin Si deftly flicked a drop of calming flower essence into the infant's mouth.
Upon seeing the Lustrous Gold gleam from the swaddled Gap, the Head Maid raised her finely trimmed eyebrows slightly.
While adjusting the Cradle's Lace, she discreetly slipped three Peeping Spell talismans into Luna's Hidden Layer of swaddling.
"Aunt Cessy." Brother San's Space Vortex suddenly appeared above the potion box. The boy, with Ice Crystal Fragments on his Fingertip, pointed to one of the vials. "Father's Study hides Snow Demon blood." His newly awakened spatial perception vibrated wildly as buried evidence flickered in his Awareness like a Blade Edge.
Aelia's Bloodstained Wedding Ring emitted a piercing Wolf Howl, and the ashes of the burned Marriage Contract Appendix coalesced in midair into the Frostwolf Clan's Judgment Order.
The eldest brother maneuvered his Wheelchair over a ground strewn with Starlight Gems, his mangled right hand pressing down on the center of the Judgment Order. "Mother, the Judgment Array requires the Soul Fire of three direct blood relatives."
"What about this?" The voice of Second Brother wrapped in Ice Shard echoed from the end of the Emerald Corridor.
The bloodied hem of his Astrology Robe trailed behind him, bearing the Inverted Family Crest of Beloved Friend Family. In his left hand, he held a Memory Crystal unearthed from Geomancy—sealed within were images of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine meeting in secret a hundred times.
Lucius’s Serpent Ring suddenly bit into his Fingertip.
The usually detached Third Young Master Lucius stared at his bleeding fingertip in shock as blood uncontrollably flew toward the Judgment Order.
When he saw the faint outline of an illegitimate child's Bloodline map within the seal, his Gray-Blue Pupils constricted sharply. "So Father even kept my betrothed hidden..."
The castle’s foundation suddenly shook violently as Leonard’s Ailya's Roar swept through with raging Wind and Snow, shattering twelve Colored Glazed Windows.
The Lord was surrounded by seven layers of Protective Spell, yet they crumbled at the moment they touched the Judgment Order.
His meticulously cared-for silver hair faded to a withered gray, and the New Moon Necklace belonging to Leonard's Concubine was exposed to everyone's gaze.
"Aelia, these illusions are..."
The Lord's defense was pierced simultaneously by twenty-eight beams of Xing Mang.
Suddenly, the Teleportation Circle of his elder brother, Wheelchair Armrest, reversed, projecting real-time footage from Leonard's Private Residence onto the Judgment Order—there was the Red-Haired Woman frantically burning scrolls related to the Soul Exchange Spell, while beside her, a boy had gathered Ice Magic into the form of a Frostwolf.
Aelia's bloodied Palm pressed against the Eldest Son's shoulder, and the Ice Magic of both Mother and Son triggered Bloodline Resonance.
The Ancient Incantation on the Judgment Order lit up one by one, revealing a hidden Contract in the blood of the Snow Demon that Qin Si had timely splashed—"If the head of the family’s Bloodline is impure, the mistress has the right to invoke Ice Bridge Punishment."
"You dare..." Leonard's Scepter erupted with black-purple Dazzling Lightning but was swallowed by a Space Vortex at the moment it struck his youngest son.
Brother San was surrounded by a distorted spatial Prism; for the first time, he fully unleashed his Innate Magic, shattering the "violent" lies instilled by Father over Twenty Years.
Lucius suddenly crushed the Astrolabe within his Pocket Watch.
The splintered gears on the surface of the Judgment Order formed a new prophecy: "When the Inverted Family Crest is soaked in the blood of a traitor, a new guardian will be born at the end of the Ice Bridge." His bloodied Fingertip traced over the inverted Iris Flower Totem brought by Second Brother, and a certain resonance that transcended magic caused the Judgment Order to emit a deafening Wolf Howl.
At that moment, Aurora transformed into a physical form and descended, enveloping Luna’s Lustrous Cradle as it slowly ascended.
The Frostwolf Bite on the infant's neck emitted an unusual warm light, purifying all traces of Magic Turbulence from their quarrel.
As the Judgment Order automatically rolled up and branded Aelia and Mei Xin, Luna grasped a strand of Aurora while spitting out Milk Foam; her Golden Eyes reflected the reassembling Magic Castle and Fate Line.
Moonstone Powder quietly reformed at dawn, laying out a brand-new Star Trail on the Nursery floor.
Luna looked at Aunt Cessy's Peeping Spell left beside the Cradle; within her unique chaotic Sea of Consciousness, the soul of a Great Mage smiled as it nudged a key Fate Line.
A roar echoed from deep within the castle as the Ice Bridge Torture Device activated, while she clutched tightly to the stolen Aurora, allowing it to become the first cornerstone of the "new guardian" foretold in prophecy.
Moonlight streamed through the newly replaced Colored Glazed Window of the Nursery, casting a light spot shaped like Xing Mang upon Luna's Lustrous Cradle.
Qin Si applied the prepared Anshen Incense ointment to the reddened Tooth Mark on the infant's gums, her Head Maid's sleeves subtly revealing the Frostwolf Emblem with each movement—this was a newly granted privilege mark from Lady Aelia that morning.
"You should be asleep, Young Miss." Qin Si's fingertip, adorned with an Emerald Ring, glimmered with a red glow from a Healing Spell, but it was deftly repelled before it could touch Luna's eyelashes.
The Head Maid's neatly trimmed Ailya's White Nails trembled slightly as she recalled the warm light that purified the Magic Turbulence in the Judgment Hall three hours ago. Ultimately, she chose to extend the Automatic Activation limit of the Peeping Spell by another three days.
Luna turned over, clutching that fragment of Aurora, as her chaotic Sea of Consciousness floated with the restructured Judgment Order's Destiny Dark Purple Thread.
The Great Mage's Soul Fragment was analyzing the Time-Space Fluctuation residuals from Lucius's Pocket Watch—those gear fragments mingled with Star Sand that should not have existed in this world.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the Celestial Chart of the Nursery Dome as twenty-eight moonlight stones rearranged themselves in the shadows.
Luna's Crystal Pacifier slipped from her lips, and her milk-stained gums gently bit down on the Aurora Fragment.
When her golden eyes reflected a broken Fate Line, Baby Fat Luna tensed suddenly—a Contract Ashes that should have dissipated was stirring deep within Geomancy.
"Yi Ya!" Luna suddenly waved her arm like an Oujie, and as Qin Si turned to fetch a Wool Blanket, the Aurora Fragment slipped into a gap between the floor tiles.
Moonstone Powder coalesced into a miniature formation along her drawn track, quietly replacing Brother San's spatial mark left at the Door Frame with a Guardian Spell.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor, distinctive of Lucius’s Serpent Pattern Boots. The young man paused for a long moment before the Nursery door.
The parts of his fingertip’s Pocket Watch still radiated heat; those prophetic fragments imprinted from the Judgment Order were now colliding within his Mithril Case, producing tiny ice crystals.
"Third Young Master Lucius has come to deliver Stardust?" Qin Si’s motion to open the door perfectly blocked Luna’s view of the Cradle.
As she took hold of the Gilded Box, her Detection Spell had already swept over the Twelve-Layer Protective Barrier—the crack in the outermost Ice Elemental Rune had widened by 0.3 millimeters since two hours ago.
In Luna's Chaos Eye, seven layers of intertwined Fate Lines floated behind Lucius.
When one of the dark purple threads suddenly trembled, she intentionally knocked over the Moonlight Bell on the bedside.
With a crisp sound, the Contract Ashes that had stained Third Young Master Lucius's cuffs were shaken to the ground, dissipating into black mist upon touching the Guardian Spell.
As Aelia entered, frost from the Ice Bridge Execution Ground still clung to her hair.
Her actions of bringing Luna to the window to see the newborn Aurora were incredibly natural, yet the newly engraved Judgment Emblem on her Wedding Ring left a burning mark on the baby's back.
Moonstone Powder fell from the trembling fingertip of the Lady of the Lord, coalescing on the windowsill into a fragment of a Snow Demon Proverb—at dawn, Ice Spikes are most likely to cut through a guardian's throat.
"Mother." Luna gently nibbled on Aelia's Pearl Necklace with her newborn teeth, and in the breath filled with Milk Fragrance, the Lustrous Gold magic Ling Si had already ensnared that restless remnant of the Contract.
When she sensed an unusual surge of magic deep within Geomancy, the baby's clear pupils suddenly contracted like a Needle Tip—hidden within the Ashes burned by the Judgment Order was a mirrored fluctuation of the Twinborn Pact.
The Moonlight Bell rang unexpectedly at midnight, and Luna gazed at the melting ice crystal proverb on the windowsill, her chubby little hand tightly gripping an Aurora Fragment.
As Aelia's Wedding Ring Emblem radiated heat for the third time, a Great Mage's soul deep within the chaotic Sea of Consciousness of the baby suddenly opened its eyes—soft sounds echoed from deep within Geomancy as Contract Ashes gnawed at the Guardian Barrier, eerily reminiscent of the prelude to an ambush she had encountered in her past life.
A piece of moonstone in the nursery cracked open with spider web-like patterns without warning; Luna caught a whiff of Cedar Fragrance in the air that suddenly turned to Iron Rust Taste, reminding her of a deadly foreshadowing that should have appeared three years later in the Original.
