The moonlight pierced through the Colored Glass of the Magic Castle Spire, stretching Leonard's silhouette across the Lapis Lazuli Tiles of the library.
His fingertips bore the stains of red wine from a shattered glass, and a Spider Tattoo writhed uneasily in the shadow of his cuff.
"Daddy's gift burned Luna!" A child's voice suddenly cut through the mist.
In Aelia's arms, a Silver-Haired Infant clutched an Embroidered Golden Swaddling, her grape-like eyes reflecting the Dome and Star Chart above.
Her chubby fingers pointed toward the Silver Bracelet faintly visible beneath Leonard's shirt, and suddenly, the bell collar in the jewelry box, adorned with black Obsidian, emitted a piercing sound.
Leonard's awareness pressed against the heated Silver Bracelet, but he froze at the moment his gaze met his daughter's—those were not the eyes of an infant; they resembled those of a judge scrutinizing evidence.
A dull clanking sound echoed from the Underground Library as dust fell from the closing Secret Passage, settling on his wine-stained clothing.
"After three months, you step into the East Wing just to showcase your clumsy surveillance magic?" Aelia's white hair stirred without wind, ice crystals spreading along her embroidered Wisteria skirt as her three sons formed a Triangle Star Formation behind her.
The eldest son's deformed right hand glimmered, while the Betrayer's Mark on the Second Son's neck shone with Azure Light. The Third Son’s palm was busy reconfiguring the Misjudgment Star Map.
Luna suddenly laughed, her small hands grasping at the floating ice crystals in the air.
A Silver White halo spread from her swaddling, and to their astonishment, a Red Dot on the Magic Fortress Protection Diagram began to shift its position.
The venom bubbling behind Leonard's image oozed forth as his Pupil cracked, seeping Hei Xue.
"Luna likes the new game!" The infant waved a Teething Stick that bore her Tooth Mark. Leonard's cherished Family Portrait suddenly bled, pooling on the Ground to form a Blood Arrow pointing toward the Hot Spring Villa.
Aelia stepped over the Bloodstain, and beneath the Ice Layer, dozens of struggling Spider Eggs were instantly frozen.
Leonard reached out to touch his daughter's curled eyelashes, but the Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly burst forth with a Purple Light.
The Mithril chain coiled around his wrist like a venomous snake, and the watch face reflected the foamy Stench rising from Maggie's Manor and the Jasmin Manor Hot Spring Pool. "Are you afraid of spiders, Father?" Luna tilted her head and asked, her voice sweet. The Silver Bracelet in his shirt suddenly heated up, causing the black Spider Tattoo on his chest to curl tightly.
Just as he intended to pick up this little life exuding a Milk Fragrance, Luna suddenly pouted and wet his Gold Thread Embroidery coat. "Stinky!" The baby girl pinched her nose and pointed at the red wine and Spider Egg mixed with Black Slime on his lapel. At that moment, the Star Array of his three brothers erupted with a Blue Light that dispelled the curse.
Aelia brushed her fingers over her daughter's Golden Hair, where a Starry Birthmark shimmered. As she turned, the Ice Crystal Staircase had already unfurled toward the courtyard.
In the Magic Castle Hall, the Gilded Candelabra was covered in a layer of Zi Wu. Luna tugged at Second Brother's dangling Spellbinding Bandage and exclaimed, "Third Brother, look!" Her saliva-coated finger traced the shadow of a stone pillar, revealing twisted ancient runes on what should have been a smooth surface of black Obsidian.
Leonard wiped away the red wine stains and explained, "Recently, the Magic Element has been chaotic..."
"It's Daddy who smells stinky!" Luna suddenly hurled her Teething Stick at the fireplace, sparks flying onto Leonard's treasured bear skin rug.
Aelia gently tapped Xiu Xie, and frost instantly consumed the flames but allowed those sparks to form a mocking smiley face pattern.
The eldest son's incomplete right hand suddenly lit up, projecting a three-dimensional image of the Hot Spring Villa through his Magic Crystal Prosthetic.
The Betrayer's Mark on Second Son's neck began to seep Azure Light, outlining the figure of a Black Market Merchant on the ground.
Third Son stared blankly at his reformed palm print, which unmistakably bore a miniature version of the Magic Castle Defense Flaw diagram.
Leonard's Spider Tattoo on his cuff suddenly flared up but froze in place at Luna's Yin Ling-like laughter.
Unbeknownst to him, the baby girl had grabbed hold of his dangling Watch Chain, with Purple Light twisting into a key shape in her chubby little palm. "Luna found the secret little door!" she exclaimed excitedly as she kicked her legs. The ice crystals formed in Aelia's white hair suddenly refracted an image of the Library’s underground Secret Passage closing.
As the clock tower chimed Thirteenth Zhong Ming, Leonard reached for the astonishingly hot Silver Bracelet in his pocket, his gaze sweeping over his three sons as their Curse Marks gradually faded away.
Luna was gnawing on the gears of her Alchemical Pocket Watch with her Milk Tooth, a small whirlpool of Purple Light forming at the corner of her mouth.
Leonard's sleeve, adorned with a Spider Tattoo, suddenly curled up, and the solidified Zi Wu in the Gilded Candelabra began to fall in small flakes.
He reached out to brush away the Ice Crystal Fragments on Aelia's shoulder but withdrew his fingers in the rising Han Wu among her white hair.
"I swear by the Stellar Altar," he declared, untying his wine-soaked Neck Scarf to reveal the rotting Spider Tattoo beneath his Collarbone. "As long as you return, the Hot Spring Villa's..."
Suddenly, Luna in Aelia's arms kicked off the swaddling embroidered with Xing Mang, her chubby Toes precisely striking his decaying tattoo.
As Leonard stumbled back, he knocked over a candlestick. In the emerging image of the hot spring within the Zi Wu, the roses of Maggie's Manor transformed into man-eating flowers.
"Daddy's Oath Stone has spider legs now!" Luna pointed towards the altar and laughed heartily.
Everyone turned to look; under the moonlight, the surface of the Oath Stone was covered in Silk, and black water was seeping from the eye sockets of thirteen skull Reliefs.
The eldest son's deformed right hand suddenly lifted uncontrollably, projecting a three-dimensional image of Hot Spring Villa onto the wall through his Magic Crystal Prosthetic.
In Leonard's Last Night, Maggie was dripping venom into the hot spring while three Spiderlings peeked out from her hair.
The Betrayer's Mark on the Second Son's neck suddenly glowed with Azure Light, outlining a route map on the Ground for a Black Market Merchant transporting Poison Spider Eggs.
"Enough!" Leonard waved his sleeve to shatter the image, but the broken Light Spot burned a Scorch Mark into his Hand Back.
He turned to his Eldest Son, and the Spider Ring flashed with Youguang. "Ellen, your Mother loves you most..."
The young man named Ellen covered his deformed right hand with Awareness as the joints of his Mechanical Prosthetic suddenly emitted a grinding sound.
As he looked up at Mother, Luna suddenly grabbed his flowing silver hair. "Big Brother's Magic Circuit is crying."
The silver light emitted by the infant Fingertip danced along Allen's Magic Crystal Prosthetic, and everyone gasped in horror as they noticed the jagged edge of his missing right hand entwined with purple-black silk.
Allen stumbled backward, colliding with the bookshelf. A treasured Magic Tome suddenly flipped open on its own, revealing an elemental Binding Spell hand-drawn by Leonard in the Hidden Layer.
"So Father knew all along..." Allen's Magic Crystal Prosthetic suddenly erupted with blue light, incinerating the yellowed pages into ashes.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna tugged at his trembling hem. "Brother's star has been eaten by a spider!"
Veins bulged on Leonard's forehead as he turned to his second son. "Karl, didn't you say last month that you wanted to rebuild the Elemental Tower..."
The Betrayer's Mark on the second son's neck suddenly glowed, and azure light coalesced on the ground into the outline of his dear friend Eric.
Luna suddenly hurled her drool-covered teething stick at Xu Ying, and the azure light morphing Eric instantly twisted into a form resembling an eight-eyed spider.
"Second Brother's tears are green!" The infant pounded on Aelia's pearl necklace, and Karl's neck brand began to seep a dark black liquid.
He trembled as he reached for his collarbone, clearly feeling the digestive fluid of a poison spider on his fingertip.
Leonard crushed the ice crystals underfoot as spider-like appendages suddenly sprouted from his sleeves, thick as fingers.
As he reached out to restrain the agitated Magic Pet, Luna unexpectedly blew out a flickering Luna resembling Xing Mang.
At that moment, milk foam enveloped the spider's antennae, and a tremendous sound echoed from deep within the library as a Secret Silver Chain snapped.
"Father might as well explain," Aelia said, "why are thirteen Elemental Sprites imprisoned in Leonard's Last Night dungeon?"
Luna suddenly struggled to get down, and as the Embroidered Golden Swaddling fell away, her ankle sparkled with the Star Ring.
The infant wobbled and lunged toward the stunned Brother San, Lucius, her chubby palm landing on the reformed Star Map of his hand.
"The stars of Third Brother are lying!" Luna's fingertip, glowing with Silver Light, sank into Lucius's palm, and the restructured Star Map suddenly emerged with a spider-shaped Dark Pattern.
Lucius staggered back, knocking over a candlestick, and the splattered wax formed an incomplete Summoning Array on the ground.
Leonard suddenly let out a muffled groan as the Spider Tattoo on his chest oozed Hei Xue.
The Alchemical Pocket Watch he treasured emitted a clicking sound of misaligned gears in Luna's hands, while Purple Light traced out a three-dimensional Coordinate of Hot Spring Villa on the surface of the dial.
As the clock tower chimed its fourteenth bell, Luna abruptly stuffed the Pocket Watch into her mouth.
From the Silver Light bursting at her Milk Tooth's biting point, everyone clearly saw thirteen struggling and tormented elven Residual Shadows curled up inside the dial.
Lucius stared at the pulsating Star Map on his palm as the restructured Stellar Trajectory suddenly began to Reverse Rotation.
As he stepped back, he knocked over a Bronze Candlestick; the melting wax snaked across the obsidian ground, forming an incomplete Summoning Array, where a spider-shaped Dark Pattern flickered in and out of visibility at its center.
Lucius's trembling fingertip hovered above the incomplete Summoning Array while the restructured Star Map convulsed violently in his palm.
The spider Dark Pattern suddenly twisted, tearing the Stellar Trajectory into a shattered Spider Web shape.
He staggered to steady himself against the Bronze Candlestick, and the melting wax left an imprint of a Spider Egg shape on his boot sole.
"Does Brother San want to be a spider knight?" Luna tilted her head and spat out a flickering Silver Light Luna. The infant's Starry Birthmark suddenly illuminated deep within Lucius's palm—there curled thirteen dim stars wrapped in Silk.
Lucius hurriedly used his sleeve to cover his palm, but accidentally knocked over the ice crystal fragments that had fallen from Aelia's hair.
Leonard suddenly grabbed Lucius' thin shoulders, the Spider Ring leaving a scorch mark on his neck. "Tell them the purity of Xing Hui you detected last month!" The spider tattoo on his sleeve suddenly sprouted tentacles, but froze into an ice spike when it met Luna's gaze.
"The observation method Father taught me..." Lucius' voice caught in his throat as his restructured Star Map automatically unfolded, revealing tampered star data.
Luna suddenly grabbed his flowing silver hair, and the silver light bursting from the Starry Birthmark scorched the spider's dark pattern into a clear mark. "Third Brother's stars have been fed poison spider milk by Father!"
Aelia's white hair suddenly danced wildly without wind, and ice crystals coalesced at her feet into a Star Compass.
As Leonard attempted to explain, his eldest son's magic crystal prosthetic projected a real-time image of Hot Spring Villa—Maggie was injecting purple venom into Lucius' Observation Crystal.
"No!" Lucius stumbled backward, shattering the elemental sprite container in the showcase.
He hurried to catch the floating residual shadow of the sprite, but the restructured Star Map automatically absorbed those light spots.
Luna suddenly laughed as she tore open his clothing, revealing a silk-like observation array covering the boy's chest.
Veins on Leonard's forehead suddenly burst with purple light, and the alchemical pocket watch he treasured made a brittle sound of gears breaking in Luna's hand.
When the fourteenth drop of wax hit the ground, Aelia's white hair suddenly formed a frost crown, and the Star Chart of the Magic Castle Dome echoed with a roar.
"The Magic Castle needs your bloodline to maintain the Defensive Formation!" Leonard suddenly knelt on the ground, the rotting spider tattoo oozing stench and black slime.
He tore open his wine-soaked collar, revealing a twisted family crest emerging beneath his collarbone. "As long as you come back to live, Hot Spring Villa will..."
The ice crystals forming at Aelia's fingertip suddenly refracted a three-dimensional projection of the entire Magic Castle, showing thirteen vulnerabilities in the Defensive Formation corresponding to the curses on the children.
Luna suddenly pressed the Alchemical Pocket Watch into Brother San's trembling palm, and the curled-up spirit, Residual Shadow, suddenly broke free from its confinement.
"Luna smells the stench of lies!" The infant pinched her nose and dove into Mother’s embrace, as Aelia's white hair suddenly released the Ice Crystal Contract.
Within the Halo of the Gilded Candelabra, everyone clearly saw the new life plan written in Xing Hui— the Stargazing Tower on the East Coast was flickering at the end of the Contract.
Leonard suddenly surged forward, wanting to snatch the Contract, but his eldest son's Magic Crystal Prosthetic automatically unleashed a beam of dispelling light.
As the Ice Crystal Staircase spread into the courtyard, Luna suddenly waved her starry Teething Stick at Father: "Daddy's tears will turn into Spider Eggs!"
The bell tower rang out its fifteenth chime of Zhong Ming, and the infant in Aelia's arms suddenly blew out a gigantic Xing Mang bubble.
When Silver Light erupted, everyone saw Leonard's treasured bear skin carpet come to life, curling up and tripping its owner as he tried to chase after it, landing him in the Venomous Spider Silk-covered Emerald Corridor.
At the moment the Ice Crystal Carriage broke through the Magic Castle's Defensive Formation, Allen's Magic Crystal Prosthetic suddenly cracked with spider web-like fissures.
A green mist inexplicably emanated from Karl's Betrayer's Mark, staining the edges of the Contract with a murky gray-green hue.
Luna pressed her hand against the carriage window, leaving Silver Light handprints, while those starlight Tracks bizarrely twisted into the shape of a spider's hunting web.
