The moonlight refracted into Frost Flowers on Aelia's eyelashes as her trembling fingers brushed against the gears of the Alchemical Pocket Watch.
The phantom of a baby's Loud Cry echoed from a rainy night Twenty Years Ago, while the bloodstains burned into the surface of the Ice Coffin resonated with the Guardian Magic Pattern on her neck.
"Mother, look!" Luna suddenly lunged at the edge of the Ice Coffin, her chubby little hands pounding on the Curse Medium's Fetal Membrane.
The infant's Emerald Color Pupil shimmered with a Magic Ripple as a distorted Marriage Contract Remnant Page emerged from the void, the soul seals of Leonard and the Red-Haired Witch clearly visible on the Parchment.
Aelia staggered to grasp the edge of the Ice Coffin, her Gilded Armor scraping against the Ice Surface with a piercing sound.
The date marked in the corner of the Contract stabbed at her eyes—it was during the rainy season when she was pregnant with her Eldest Daughter, and Leonard had said he was going to the Northern Territory to suppress a beast uprising.
"Nonsense!" Leonard's Staff struck heavily against the ground, ice crystals crawling up Luna's swaddling. "Can a three-year-old's illusion magic be taken seriously?" His neck veins bulged, while his left hand, hidden beneath his Robe, quietly extinguished the Transmitting Crystal that connected him to his lover.
The sound of the Wheelchair crushing Ice Spikes suddenly rang out.
Her elder brother Pale tore open his high-collared Robe, revealing a blue Purple Magic Pattern on his neck. "Father, do you dare swear before the Guardian Magic Pattern?" The backlash scar transformed into a Judgment Eye at his Adam's Apple, signaling the awakening of his Great Mage Bloodline.
Seizing the moment, Luna pressed her fingers, stained with Emerald Color Blood Pearl, against Aelia's Hand Back.
A torrent of memories surged—images of the Red-Haired Witch wandering outside the Wind and Snow night maternity ward, an infant suddenly choking in its swaddling, Leonard hiding a Frost Temple scroll beneath his ceremonial robe... Aelia suddenly retched as old wounds from ten years ago began to bleed anew, wounds inflicted to cure her husband's cold poison.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si exclaimed as he threw out Healing Silk, only to see Aelia tear off her Frost Necklace with her other hand.
The falling Sapphire exploded into an Ice Sword upon hitting the ground, with an Emerging imprint of an infant's palm—the very one missing from the Fetal Curse.
Leonard stepped back three paces to summon an Ice Shield, but what gathered at the tip of his staff was not a defensive Spell.
The Crimson Demon Mark slithered across the floor towards Luna's Cradle—this was the most insidious Soul Devouring Curse in Dark Magic, and he intended to publicly erase his own daughter's existence.
"Father!" Brother San's Star Sand Robe suddenly enveloped the entire Cradle, and the astrological magic that had been dormant for a decade erupted into a Galaxy Shield at this critical moment.
Second Brother seized the opportunity to throw the Dragon Scale Dagger, and Blade Edge precisely severed the core Magic Pattern of the Soul Devouring Curse, but his pupils constricted upon seeing the shattered Serpent Pattern.
The Dark Patterns entwined in the curse bore an uncanny resemblance to the Serpent Scale Totem he had seen on the night his dear friend had cast a curse on him.
At that moment, the Frost Giant Sword cleaved into Leonard's left shoulder, while Aelia was surrounded by twenty strands of Marriage Contract Gold Thread, each entwined with Infant Hair and refining Cursed Black Mist: "When you said you wept for your daughter’s untimely death, were you not pleased by the loosening of the Frost Temple's seal?"
A roar echoed from deep within the castle's foundation as chains broke apart, and the Emerald Eye of the First Generation Fortress Master Relief suddenly turned.
Luna's blood painted a Reversal Array on the ancient statue, transforming all of Leonard's tampered Marriage Contract Power into ice spikes that pinned him at the center of an altar inscribed with the Betrayer's Curse.
As a violent Wind and Snow swept in, carrying his lover Xu Ying into the Millennium Ice Prison, Second Brother bent down to pick up a shard of a Serpent Pattern Ring.
Moonlight filtered through the hollow Ring Face, casting eerie shadows on the Ground; it was unmistakably his dear friend's Family Crest Totem that he often wore.
He clenched the shard tightly, allowing Dragon Scales to cut into his Palm, yet it was nothing compared to the overwhelming pain of betrayal surging within his heart.
The Fetal Curse in the Ice Coffin was turning to Ashes under Luna's chant, while Wolf Howls from the Southwest Mist Forest faintly mingled with the awakening Zhen Chan of an Ancient Behemoth.
The Dragon Blood seeping between Second Brother's fingers merged with a Snake Pattern Fragment, and drops of Palm Blood Pearl fell onto the Ground Projection of the Guile Shadow Totem.
The Ancient Tremor from the Southwest resonated with the Magic Core surging in his chest, and in a daze, he saw his dear friend raising Moonlight Wine close to Leonard's Last Night—at that moment, the Serpent Ring had been hidden beneath Deerskin Gloves, gently brushing against the Dragon Scale Dagger he had offered during their toast.
"From that moment on..." He suddenly flung the shards toward the altar, and the Sheen Pattern ignited with Azure Blue Flame upon touching Leonard's Robe.
The traitor on the ice spike let out a painful howl, as the cursed backlash perfectly aligned with the Serpent Scale Totem. "Are you willing to gamble your son's life as a Chip?"
The Marriage Contract Gold Thread on Aelia's Gilded Armor suddenly tightened, and twenty strands of black mist coiled around Leonard's throat like venomous snakes.
The surface of the Ice Coffin reflected Brother San's staggering figure, as the dispersed Star Sand from ten years ago began to coalesce into a brilliant galaxy from his sleeve.
When his trembling fingers brushed against the remnants of the Soul Devouring Curse on Luna's Swaddling, the disbanded Astrology Chart suddenly reappeared above him in the Dome.
"It turns out my Star Trail has never deviated..." Brother San gazed at the Celestial Chart refracted by the Ice Coffin. The misaligned stars he had considered a Talent Defect were now resonating with the emerald Blood Pearl on Luna's Swaddling.
He abruptly tore apart the silver chain of the Silver Wine Pot at his Waist, allowing the long-preserved magical suppressor to roll into the ice crevice. "Does Father know?"
Years ago, when the Astrology Tower said my Star Trail was abnormal and would kill Mother, it was you who had Frost Temple forge that prophecy!
The Ice Shield beneath Leonard's Robe emitted a cracking sound, and he was astonished to find that Third Son's magic, which had been dispersed for ten years, was actually reshaping his Meridian.
Those misaligned Star Trails he had deliberately misled were now transforming into Entity Chains, binding his right hand that summoned Dark Magic.
"Impudent!" Leonard attempted to suppress it with the Head of Family Seal, but saw his elder brother on the Wheelchair suddenly unfurl a Magic Rune Scroll.
The backlash scar transformed into a Judgment Eye that projected Frost Temple's Secret Script. The Remnant Page of the Secret Order, which should have been destroyed ten years ago, was now Burning in midair—evidence of his directive to Archbishop to alter San Zi's Ming Ge.
Qin Si suddenly flung Healing Silk toward the edge of the altar.
Silk wrapped around Aelia, the Blood Pearl oozing from her old heart wound, painting a memory landscape of the past twenty years on the Ice Surface: the Stormy Night when the lady, despite her illness, forced herself to refine the Cold Poison Antidote for her husband; secretly cutting off her own hair during the Full Moon Feast to replace the cursed Infant Hair; willingly sharing the Guardian Magic Pattern with each child to protect San Zi's life...
"Do you still remember this scar, my Lord?" Qin Si suddenly pulled back his left sleeve, revealing the Ice Blade Scar that ran through his forearm. "Back then, you claimed it was an ambush by the Northern Beasts, but in reality, you were injured by the temple guards while secretly meeting your lover, weren't you?
The Cold Poison Antidote that the lady exchanged for half her heart has turned into a chip for your collusion with the temple!"
A loud crash echoed from deep within the castle's foundation as chains broke. The Emerald Pupils of the First Generation Fortress Master suddenly emitted a red light.
Luna's Reversal Array branded a blood-red Family Crest on the forehead of the statue, and the black mist of the Marriage Contract that entwined Leonard began to backfire against the mark of Frost Temple.
Aelia suddenly pressed on her heart's old wound; memories transmitted through the Marriage Contract Gold Thread made her tremble—twenty years ago, when her daughter passed away, Leonard had hidden beneath his ceremonial robe a secret scroll that was indeed an infant-killing decree from Frost Temple.
"Mother, be careful!" Brother San's Galaxy Shield suddenly enveloped Aelia, and the dissipating Star Sand resonated with the Magic Rune Scroll unfurled by their elder brother.
The Second Brother's Dragon Scale Dagger sliced through the air with a blinding arc of light, severing the last dark spell that attempted to ambush them.
The three figures reflected in the Ice Coffin overlapped with their childhood selves as they protected their sister in her cradle. This time, however, they were safeguarding a sister whose Destiny was being rewritten in swaddling clothes.
The Transmitting Crystal atop Leonard's Staff suddenly exploded, and Xu Ying, the Red-Haired Witch, let out a piercing screech from within her Ice Prison.
Aelia's bloodied fingertip lightly touched the statue of the First Generation Fortress Master. Instantly, within its Emerald Eye emerged a Blood Oath from a hundred years ago—when the traitor’s ice torture was initiated, the current head of the family must endure judgment from Magic Castle’s Twelve Rays.
"Glorious Judgment..." Blood Tears flowed from the Judgment Eye at Adams Apple’s throat as Secret Silver Chains sprang from the Wheelchair Armrest and resonated with the statue. "Father, do you know why our First Patriarch engraved the Judgment Eye into the Magic Pattern?"
Deep underground, an Ancient Tremor awakened and suddenly swept through the entire hall. The Southwest Window Lattice shattered under the assault of a hurricane from the misty forest.
Luna's Emerald Pupils reflected the strange occurrence at the altar—Leonard's right hand, which should have been confined, was unexpectedly spreading a Dark Red Magic Pattern along the ice spike.
Suddenly, the infant let out a Loud Cry, and the emerald Blood Pearl exploded on the Galaxy Shield, transforming into a Thorned Totem.
Amidst the Wolf Howl outside, an eerie chime mixed in, casting a long shadow on the shattered ice under the moonlight.
As Aelia's Marriage Contract Gold Thread tightened once more, in the unlit corner behind the altar, a pair of Boot Tips stained with Star Sand quietly melted into the pool of blood—this was the gleam of Astrology Dust that Third Young Master Lucius often used.
The sound of ice crystals shattering echoed in the Dome as Shan Na erupted; Lucius, with his Deerskin Boots stained with Star Sand, silently treaded over the half-melted blood pool.
Third Young Master Lucius's silver hair fell over his brow, concealing a demeanor starkly different from his usual frivolity—cold and stern.
As Aelia staggered to support herself against the Ice Coffin, the Astrology Dust hidden in his sleeve had already seeped quietly into the ice spike beneath Leonard's feet.
"Mother, beware of the Magic Pattern's backlash." The voice of young Qing Yue whispered close to Aelia's ear, as his Gilded Armor reflected the movement of his Fingertip turning the Hexagram Pendant—the very gift Aelia had given him on his naming day when he was five years old.
The Star Sand he had deliberately scattered along the edge of the altar was now seeping into Leonard's Meridian through the cracks in the ice spike.
Leonard's Robe suddenly swelled like a sail, and the Frost Magic Pattern twisted on his skin into a serpent-like shape. "Are you rebelling?!" he roared, and his right hand, pierced by the ice spike, suddenly erupted with Blood Mist.
The Crimson Curse crawled up the stone pillar along the Judgment Eye's Projection. To everyone's shock, First Generation Fortress Master Relief slowly turned his head amidst the curse, and Emerald Pupils burst forth with black-purple Dazzling Lightning.
Luna's swaddling suddenly soared toward the Magic Rune Scroll, and the emerald Blood Pearl bled onto the Parchment, forming a Prophecy Poem.
The Secret Silver Chain on Brother's Wheelchair Armrest snapped with a sound, as the Backlash Magic Pattern coiled around Leonard's neck. "Father, do you know these chains are forged from half of Mother's heart?"
"You once said that we needed Mithril to suppress the cold poison..."
"Enough!" Leonard's Staff erupted at the tip, unleashing a Frost Vortex. The fierce winds and snow from the Northern Territory swept through the hall, carrying the pressure of the family head.
Twelve suits of knight armor awakened under the Spell, their heavy swords gleaming coldly as they reflected his fierce expression: "The Glorious Demon Fortress does not need to question the traitors of the family!"
Aelia's bloodied Fingertip suddenly gripped Lucius's Wrist, as Third Young Master Lucius's Palm pulsed with a Hexagram that perfectly aligned with her Guardian Magic Pattern.
Just as the Frost Vortex was about to engulf the nearest suit of armor, Lucius flung out Astrology Dust, drawing a Star Trail Barrier in midair—this was indeed the Basic Protection Spell Aelia had taught him twenty years ago.
"The first lesson taught by Mother," the young Fingertip formed a silhouette of Aelia with Star Sand, "is that glory should never be tarnished." He spun around and kicked away an attacking Ice Blade, while his waist pouch released an Emerald Short Staff that collided with Aelia's Gilded Armor, creating a Qingyue Mingxiang.
The Astrology he had deliberately neglected over the years now transformed into a Galaxy Chain, precisely intercepting every Ice Blade.
Leonard stared in astonishment at San Zi’s Flowing Like Clouds and Water magic connection. This son he had deemed a useless piece on the board had managed to engrave every High-Level Protective Spell taught by Mother into his muscle memory.
The surface of the Ice Coffin suddenly revealed an Emerging Celestial Chart, exposing the final lie—Lucius's so-called "disorder in Star Trail" was clearly a perfect inheritance of the Sirius Mark from the First Generation Fortress Master.
"Lord, do you still recognize this?" Qin Si suddenly lifted the altar carpet, revealing Ankeli’s blood-stained birthing records.
The missing infant handprint on the Parchment matched seamlessly with the emerald blood imprint on Luna's Swaddling. "You transferred all the medical officers back then, unaware that my wife had already embroidered the true records into my Healing Silk."
Aelia's hand pressed tightly against her old Heart wound as memories transmitted through the Marriage Contract Gold Thread caused new images of Leonard's Last Night to emerge on the surface of the Ice Coffin—wrapped around Fingertip was Leonard's Frost Magic Pattern, while outside the delivery room twenty years ago, Wind and Snow clearly stood Leonard’s Serpent Pattern Ring’s Frost Temple High Priest.
"You would even sacrifice your own flesh and blood..." Second Brother suddenly plunged his Dragon Scale Dagger into the Ground, its blade Zhen Chan echoing ancient Dragon Language.
The Ancient Tremor from the Southwest transformed into tangible sound waves, shattering the Moonlight Wine cup he had treasured for ten years.
The amber liquid pooled on the ground, forming a totem, reminiscent of the poisoned wine his dear friend had once dipped with the Serpent Pattern Ring during a curse.
Suddenly, Leonard's Staff emitted a blinding light, casting the emblem of the Frost Temple onto the dome: "Glorious Judgment shall not be questioned by the unworthy!" The altar beneath him flipped over, revealing a dark compartment etched with infant slaughter curses.
However, the killing formation that should have activated remained unresponsive—Luna's emerald Blood Pearl had unknowingly seeped into every Curse Node.
"Is this what Father is looking for?" Lucius lightly tapped the edge of the dark compartment, his fingertip dusted with Star Sand crushing an ice crystal talisman.
When Aelia's Marriage Contract Gold Thread suddenly tightened, everyone realized that all judgment icicles were entangled with the hidden Star Trail Chains of Third Young Master Lucius.
Those nights he pretended to waste were actually spent weaving this web of starlight.
Aelia's Gilded Armor suddenly burst forth with sunlight-like brilliance, and the Marriage Contract Gold Thread from twenty years ago coalesced into a Judgment Holy Sword in her palm.
As Jian Feng pointed at Leonard and Mei Xin, Luna's indistinct babbling unexpectedly echoed from within the Ice Coffin. Her emerald pupils reflected all the altered Marriage Contract Scrolls—hovering around the infant girl, waiting for the final truth to ignite.
When the first ray of dawn pierced through the Ice Prison, Luna's chubby little hand grasped a falling Remnant Page.
Emerald-colored magic ripples converged deep within her pupils, and words that should only be spoken at three years old began to brew in her throat as a dawn Jing Lei—shattered ice crystallized into tiny starlight on Luna's eyelashes, and her fingertip holding the Marriage Contract Scroll suddenly shimmered with emerald ripples.
Just as Leonard's Staff was about to gather an Ice Blade at its tip, broken syllables of a baby voice erupted from deep within the Ice Coffin.
"Northern Beasts... Red-Haired Aunt... Frost Altar..." Each word uttered by Luna’s pink lips carried a resonance of magic.
The floating Marriage Contract Scroll unfurled with a sound, the ink transforming into the snowy night scene from Twenty Years Ago—Leonard was handing over a blood-stained Infant Swaddling to the Red-Haired Witch, the Frost Temple Emblem on her Serpent Ring clearly visible.
Aelia's Gilded Armor clashed against the edge of the Ice Coffin, producing a sharp clang. The Marriage Contract Holy Sword suddenly redirected towards her husband, Mei Xin: "So you were using our daughter's Umbilical Cord Blood to unseal the Frost Altar while claiming she had died during my postpartum period!"
"Absurd!" Leonard's Robe billowed with violent Wind and Snow, yet Luna was seen kicking with her Oujie-like little legs, her Chubby Palm suddenly slapping down on a spot on the scroll.
The emerald Blood Pearl bled into the Parchment, revealing Leonard's Last Night—he was using an ice spike to sever the Third Son's Star Trail Chains, while the Frost Temple High Priest recorded the weak points of the Magic Castle's defenses nearby.
The sound of a Wheelchair grinding over the Ice Surface shattered the silence, and blood tears suddenly flowed from the Judgment Eye on his elder brother's neck: "Father, do you dare explain the truth behind Mother's missing heart?" A Secret Silver Chain shot out from the Wheelchair Armrest, its end tied to Leonard's so-called "lost" Heart-Piercing Dagger, still stained with remnants of Aelia's Guardian Magic Pattern.
Leonard's Staff struck heavily against the ground as twelve knight armors moved closer: "The Magic Castle is not for cripples..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lucius kicked away a knight's heavy sword with his Star Sand-stained Boot Tip.
As the silver-haired youth swept past the ice spike, a Hexagram Pendant shot out from his sleeve and precisely lodged itself into a joint of an armor: "Father, do you know whether these knights recognize the Family Crest or the sword bearer?"
As if to validate his words, the Golden Cresset Emblem on the knights' Chest Armor suddenly peeled away.
Luna's Emerald Pupils reflected an astonishing Leonard's Last Night—all inner layers of the armors were engraved with totems of Frost Temple's Sheen Pattern, and their sword-holding postures mirrored those of the assassins who ambushed Aelia in her delivery room twenty years ago.
"No wonder the guards went collectively deaf back then." Aelia sneered as her Marriage Contract Holy Sword split into twenty strands of Gold Thread, each entwined with Infant Hair. "Lord, why don't you explain why you needed to swap out the Royal Guard?"
Could it be that you knew I would discover your hiding place in..." Her Jian Feng suddenly turned towards the altar’s Dark Compartment, where Luna’s Blood Pearl had stained an Infanticide Curse twisting into a pleading human face.
The Second Brother’s Dragon Scale Dagger suddenly emitted a Longyin, its blade Zhen Chan pointing towards the Southwest Window Lattice.
In the shattered moonlight, fragments of his treasured Serpent Pattern Ring resonated with Zhen Chan coming from Misty Forest: "Father, my Coming-of-Age Dagger and my best friend's cursed weapon were forged from the same piece of Dragon Scales, weren't they?"
At this moment, the Dome Star Chart underwent a sudden transformation, and the scattered Star Sand of Brother San unexpectedly coalesced into the Sirius Totem of the First Generation Fortress Master.
As his Fingertip brushed against Luna's Swaddling, those misaligned stars that Leonard had dismissed as "useless talents" perfectly corresponded to the hidden Guardian Array at the bottom of the Ice Coffin: "So it turns out that the offset Star Trail I observed every night was all your doing on the Astrolabe!"
The ice crystals at the tip of Leonard's Staff began to crack, and suddenly, a dark liquid seeped from the altar beneath his feet.
At that moment, Luna's voice, mimicking speech, became clear: "The altar... Blood Alliance... three days later..." The infant Emerald Color Blood Pearl drew a strange countdown on the Ice Surface, and the Betrayer's Curse on the Twelve Rays ice spikes began to flow in reverse.
"Enough!" Leonard suddenly tore apart his Robe, and Frost Magic Patterns coalesced into venomous fangs on his chest. "Do you really think you can rely on a baby’s Illusion Magic to..." His Roar was abruptly cut off—Aelia's Marriage Contract Holy Sword was pressed against his throat, and the Sword Body reflected Leonard's Last Night emerging on the surface of the Ice Coffin: the Red-Haired Witch's hand, adorned with a Serpent Pattern Ring, was retrieving the Magic Fortress Defense Diagram from his dark bag.
Qin Si suddenly unwrapped the bandage from his Left Arm, revealing a scar that pretended to be a beast's claw mark; it was glowing: "Lord, will you explain this wound caused by Frost Temple guards?
You said that when the Northern Territory was attacked, your wife was suffering from a High Fever while stitching an amulet for you!"
A roar echoed from the bottom of the Ice Coffin as chains broke apart, and Luna's swaddling cloth began to move without wind.
The fragment of scroll clutched by the infant suddenly revealed a blood-colored Iris; however, what Emerald Pupils reflected was not the current scene—it was the Astrology Tower's spire stained with moonlight and blood, entwined with Frost Magic Patterns as the Prophecy Ball cracked...
As the last ice spike turned to Dust, Luna’s Palm unknowingly grasped a piece of bloodied Star Sand.
The emerald Blood Pearl coalesced into a blurred totem at the edge of the Remnant Page, resembling what had been mentioned in the original book as "Blood Moon"—a sign of destruction for Frost Temple that was not supposed to appear until three years later.
