As the moonlight shattered into silver flakes on the Window Lattice, the grinding sound of the Mechanical Gear suddenly pierced the silence of the top floor of the Magic Castle.
The elder brother, his Mechanical Tentacles covered in rust, twitched violently and knocked over a crystal vial. The Indigo Liquid meant to suppress the Magic Backlash seeped through the Stone Brick Gap into the Starry Array etched beneath the floor.
"Don't touch the Reverse Curse Mark!" Luna suddenly let out a muffled Loud Cry, her small hand wrapped in Silver Silk Swaddle precisely striking the seventh gear of the Star Chart Device.
The infant's Pink Palm oozed Light Gold blood, flowing in reverse along the Error Curse inscribed by the Astrologer three years ago, dyeing the dark purple backlash chains wrapped around her brother's Collarbone into a translucent Amber hue.
Aelia's swaddled bundle suddenly grew hot; she realized that her daughter's neck was Emerging with a Thorned Crown identical to Xu Ying's.
The thorny patterns pierced through the Swaddling Cloth, casting a complete Celestial Chart on the wall—the very Northern Crown Constellation Star Track missing since her brother had been ambushed in the Magic Crystal Mine three years prior.
"So this is where the curse gap lies." Her brother's trembling Mechanical Hand suddenly regained its dexterity as he tore away the Hemostatic Bandage that had bound his chest for ten years, revealing a heart corroded to dark green by backlash toxins.
Luna's Loud Cry transformed into an ancient Spell; the potions that had seeped into the floor surged forth from the Formation Diagram's cracks, coalescing into ice spikes that pierced his Heart's rotting Curse Mark.
The entire Magic Castle suddenly trembled, and in the Library of Hidden Books, the dust-covered Ancient Demon Script Compendium began to flip its pages on its own, stopping at a parchment depicting the Twinborn Crown.
The rust from her brother's Mechanical Tentacles flaked away, revealing newly formed Mithril joints beneath. He stared in disbelief at his Fingertip as Frost Magic danced—an Elemental Affinity that had not manifested since he awakened his talent at ten years old.
"Miss's blood..." Qin Si suddenly covered her mouth.
As the moonlight shifted, Shan Na saw Luna’s Ear stained with gold Bloodstain transforming into tiny runes, silently repairing her brother’s damaged Defensive Magic Pattern at his sleeve.
At that moment, a sound of shattering crystal echoed from the West Tower, and Aelia’s robe embroidered with Iris fluttered without wind.
As she handed Luna to Qin Si, the infant unexpectedly grasped her bloodied Pearl Necklace and uttered two clear Broken Syllables in a Baby Voice: "Cellar."
The secret phrase, which should have remained unknown, plunged Aelia into the depths of the Ice Cave.
Twenty years ago, she had hidden the Prophecy Notebook left by her mother beneath the third movable brick in the Wine Cellar, but last night she discovered her husband's Serpent Pattern Silver Buckle there.
"Madam!" Qin Si's exclamation was torn apart by the night wind.
As Aelia rushed into the underground Wine Cellar, moonlight streamed through the Air Vent and Iron Grate, illuminating the corner where the Silver Buckle lay like a beacon—next to it was half of a Silk Handkerchief embroidered with violets, clearly a gift she had given to Leonard during this year's Midsummer Festival, part of Ailya's Birthday Rune.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering porcelain echoed from behind the Oak Barrel.
Qin Si trembled as she raised the candlestick, casting light on the Delivery Maid huddled in the shadows. The hem of her skirt was stained with Snake Pattern Silver Thread, and she wore a key meant for the jewelry box that should have been in the master bedroom.
"It was my Lord who asked me to come for Honey Wine every Wednesday." The maid's defense was cut off in Aelia's throat.
The Lady of the Demon Fortress pressed her finger, stained with Dan Kou, against the maid's collarbone, where a Dark Red mark lingered—this was a Brand associated with the Twin Curse, transferable only through intimate contact.
Luna's Loud Cry suddenly pierced through the stone walls.
Aelia staggered to support herself against the Wine Rack, the wedding vows from twenty years ago roaring in her ears.
At that time, Leonard had held her hand over the cornerstone of the Magic Castle and vowed: "With Thorn as my Crown, this life is only for you." Now, the prophetic bloodstains lingering on her fingertip resonated with the newly appeared Twinborn Crown and Xu Ying on the stone wall.
"Immediately seal off Star Tower." When Leonard rushed into the Cellar wrapped in Ye Lu, Aelia's voice was cold enough to freeze the Magic Fireflies in the corner.
The Lord of the Frost Fortress attempted to touch his wife's shoulder but was repelled by a Frost Magic Pattern. His carefully prepared explanation caught in his throat—Aelia's Palm bore a Thorned Ring glowing with Blood Light, reflecting his collar where Violet Perfume had not been fully wiped away.
Luna's Yin Ling suddenly echoed down the corridor.
Leonard was horrified to discover that the Embroidered Shoes on his daughter Iris in her cradle were gnawing at the Family Crest on his sleeve, like some sort of Ancient Bloodline curse.
As he reached out to hold his daughter, the infant suddenly opened her eyes, and the Pupil revealed a swirling Star Trail that unmistakably spelled out the House Number of Outer Chamber Manor.
"The woman living at Emerald Alley 37," Aelia's voice was as soft as if it were melting into the moonlight, "is she carrying twins?" She stroked the newly sprouted Thorn Hair Ornament among Luna's Golden Hair, watching her husband's face turn pale in an instant, finally convinced of what the two torn Crowns projected by last night's Astrolabe meant.
A loud crash echoed from the East Wing, as if a Heavy Object had collapsed.
Strange green mist seeped from the Door Gap of Second Brother's laboratory, where his previously claimed gift for a dear friend, a Defensive Magical Artifact, lay shattered into countless Crystal Shards. The faces of traitors reflected in those shards bore a striking resemblance to the image hidden in the Study Room Secret Compartment of Leonard.
As Brother San's Astrolabe buzzed again, Luna was laughing heartily, clutching her brother's newly formed Mithril fingers.
On the baby’s unawareness-drawn Star Chart, the star belonging to Second Brother, known as Ming Xing, suddenly veered off its original Track, heading toward the long-abandoned Magic Library of Brother San.
Meanwhile, an Ice Blue Light Column shot up from the direction of the Cellar, tearing apart the Family Crest Totem atop the dome of the Magic Castle.
As the moonlight shifted for the third time, Second Brother, clutching a green-rusted Crystal Fragment, burst through the door of the Library. There stood Brother San, staring blankly at the reverse-moving Star Trail on his Astrolabe. "Father's Snake Pattern Silver Thread..." he murmured, pressing the fragment onto page seventy-two of *Magic Rune Origins*, where the broken pattern perfectly matched the Family Crest on Leonard's sleeve. Within those once-thought-to-be gifts of a dear friend, there was clearly mixed dust from the unique jade of Outer Chamber Manor.
Suddenly, Luna grasped her brother's trembling Wrist, and golden blood seeping from the baby's fingertip rippled across the surface of the shard.
The projection from Brother San's Astrolabe abruptly revealed a three-dimensional map—an "accident" that had befallen Second Brother three months ago at the Magic Crystal Mine, which overlapped with a faded icon marking a location in their father's study labeled as Ankeli 's subordinate mine.
The trap runes disguised as a dear friend's handwriting now revealed Leonard's distinctive ending in a serpent pattern under Luna's tearful gaze.
"Here lies the rift of the Guardian Spell." Brother San suddenly tore apart the Elemental Resonance Principle entangled in the Spider Web. The Astrology Pen, which he had neglected for seven years, began to spin on its own, completing the auxiliary lines of the Star Map projected by Luna's Swaddling.
The Magic Crystals sleeping in the Library collectively awakened as his Palm formed a Secret Silver Fluid similar to his brother's. Those Magical Talents previously deemed as "Error" were now wildly growing along the Star Trail corrected by Luna.
Aelia's Frost Curse Seal suddenly swept over the Window Lattice, freezing Second Brother's incriminating evidence into transparent Amber.
The Iris Hairpin in the Lady of the Demon Fortress's hair was fading. She gazed at the spinning Truth Prism of the Children In Hand and suddenly pressed the blood-stained Prophecy Notebook against Luna's chest.
The Thorned Crown around the baby's Neck abruptly materialized, releasing all of the astrological power sealed away by Mother in her youth.
"The rose garden at No. 37 Emerald Alley," Luna suddenly murmured dreamily. The Golden Blood Pearl etched a three-dimensional map on Second Brother's Crystal Fragment, "grows Evening Primrose that can break the Twin Curse." Brother San's Secret Silver Fluid automatically shaped into a pair of herbal tweezers, and a certain book from deep within the Grimoire, titled Magic Plant Compendium, suddenly flipped open to reveal a torn annotation page from Aelia's Mother.
When Qin Si burst in holding the Family Crest Ribbon stained with Violet Fragrance, everyone gasped at the Magic Castle Structure Diagram drawn by Luna with Milk Stain.
Those winding golden traces penetrated three layers of stone walls, connecting the hidden passage of Outer Chamber Manor with the secret room behind Leonard's study into a glowing Spider Web.
Second Brother suddenly snatched Brother San's Astrology Pen and marked a blood-red symbol at the intersection of the Star Trail—exactly at the fixed time when his "dear friend" came to retrieve Defensive Magical Artifacts.
As the moonlight began to shift for the fifth time, Aelia gently brushed over the Ice Cracks on the Library wall.
The Star Trails corrected by Luna were quietly altering the Energy Flow towards the foundation of the Magic Castle. The Wedding Oath Thorn on her Wrist suddenly bloomed into a Blue Rose with Poison Spikes, while outside, the Iris Garden had unknowingly turned entirely towards the West Tower.
