Chapter 237: 7.36 Second Violet Star - What should I give to my grandchildren?
During lunch, while everyone is enjoying the varieties of foods in front of them Eirwen looks at the young couple in front of him. Though the two try to hide their intimacy, just the simple gesture of placing a bowl of stew near the other or placing a glass full of juice to another is enough to show the change in the relationships of this pair.
Before he left the Kingdom of Hart, Eirwen Night noticed that Angela and the crown prince were quite close but the relationship between them was only friendship, to be precise best friends built from comradeship. But now the closeness between the two had been changed to something more intimate more than friends.
Neige, Zhi Yue, and Eirwen Night eyed the young couple making the two feel uncomfortable. Angela only felt her boyfriend's stiffening as he fed her and looked in front of her to see three of her elder brothers staring at the two of them. But unlike Viktor Hart, Angela knew why these three are acting like this, they were teasing her and Viktor.
Angela pouted, "Jiejie, Brother Yue, Big Brother Neige~ please stop teasing Vivi~"
Zhi Yue said, "Sigh~ it is true when they say that a daughter's heart will no longer be with the family after marriage."
"Indeed. Remember to send us an invitation for your marriage," said Neige.
"What should I give to my grandchildren?" murmured Eirwen Night.
The ice pixies commented, "Blessing of Ice!!!"
Angela complains, "Muh~ stop teasing us!!!"
Though Angela knew that these three were playing around. The words they've spouted still make her blush in embarrassment and happiness. Them reacting this way means that they accepted Viktor as her future other half.
Zhi Yue spoke and introduced himself, unlike his host and the Ice spirit king, Viktor Hart just met him today. It is their first meeting as he wasn't visible during the time his host returns to the Kingdom of Hart.
"Hi~ this is our first meeting, right? I am Zhi Yue, Lord Night's subordinate. Nice to meet you, Crown Prince."
Viktor responded courteously and also introduced himself as well.
"The heir to the throne of Kingdom Hart. The firstborn son of King Argus. Viktor Hart. A pleasure meeting you Sir Zhi Yue."
"Oh~ that's right. The three of us haven't given you a gift for the first meeting. Wait for a while I'll pull something nice over for a gift." says Zhi Yue.
Neige suddenly spoke, "Then I will go first. I will upgrade your current Blessing of Ice from the pixies to my Blessing of the Ice Spirit King like little Angie." he reached out his hand and touched Viktor's head, bestowing him a blessing as an Ice Spirit King. A blessing from him, a Demigod is stronger than what the ice fairies could give. This lets the bearer of the blessing have a full affinity with Ice and Snow.
During winter, they would never suffer frostbites or iciness. The gestures of the ice-related races would be friendly towards them as well. Also with this blessing, the output of any ice-related spells would possess thrice the normal strength.
Angela is delighted that her Big Brother Neige had given her boyfriend the same blessing as hers. Now he didn't have to suffer during the journey in ice land-based countries.
"Thank you, Big Brother Neige!" says Angela.
"Please accept my gratitude, Sir..." Viktor noticed Neige's expression turned cold when he was about to call him like a well-acquainted gesture while still acting as a stranger. "Brother Neige." He had to change his words halfway for the pressure Neige is emitting to disappear.
Eirwen was staring at Viktor with a gauging gaze which made the young warrior flinch for a bit.
"Your main element is light, right?" asked Eirwen with a smile.
"Y-Yes~ Ji-, Lord Night," replied Viktor.
His girlfriend always told her to call Eirwen Night as Jiejie but it is still a tall order to do so. In the first place, he and Eirwen Night were nothing but acquaintances thanks to his relationship with Angela. Moreover, there are rumors that say that this person is not a mortal but something close to the Gods. Viktor couldn't just call a God with such intimacy.
Eirwen resumed eating in between his munches, "I have someone prepare a nice mount for you. Since my main element is not light I could only ask them to give me a nice one as a gift. By that time they would most likely send a gift for you as well Angie." he said.
Angela, who hasn't met that 'they' her Jiejie is talking about is now a bit bewildered.
"Jiejie, who is that 'they' you are talking about?" asked Angela as innocently as ever.
Eirwen paused eating as they saw his lips hooked up in a beautiful smile, "You can consider them as my future other halves."
Viktor's thoughts: 'Them? He has more than one lover?!'
Zhi Yue's thoughts: 'Well~ the Lord God had split into two in this world. It can be considered as 'them' indeed.'
Neige's thoughts: 'It will be harder for Lord Hei to pamper two of those people. I guess this means I and Araysh would have more things to do in the future. Sigh~'
Angela finally understood Jiejie's words, "Jiejie you have two lovers?"
"You can say that. Because he is an idiot that split himself into two for no reason," replied Eirwen.
Angela, "Idiot?"
Viktor, "Split?"
It was at this time that Zhi Yue finally found what he wanted to give away as a gift from his system warehouse. He took it from his own pile of treasure. A paired couple moonstone necklace with all resistant type enhancement.
"Found it! These are for you both. Wear it at all times. It can resist all elemental attacks. Physical attacks and even mental attacks. Moreover, it can save your life once. Once it used up the last option of resurrection, the stone would break. Be careful okay~ by the way, it is blood recognition to pour a drop of blood for ownership." explained Zhi Yue.
Viktor Hart and Angela Evans were extremely happy with the gifts they received from Neige and Zhi Yue.
Currently, Eirwen Night is having a conversation within his thoughts using his special skill Telepathy. He connected his mind with the Twin Gods asking them to send a light elemental mount and a pair of weapons. A sword, and mage for a future paladin and an all-elemental mage.
Night: &123;Lucy, Rienne give me a light element mount. It's better if it could fly. As well as a weapon for a paladin and an all-elemental mage.&125;
Lucien: &123;Okay~ I'll send you a baby light dragon~&125;
Adrienne: &123;I'll have someone prepare the weapons for you. But Eira, who are you gifting this for?&125;
Night: &123;The little girl of my family finally has a lover.&125;
Lucien: &123;Oh~ you don't mean that little girl we had chosen as future lo--&125;
His words stammered, obviously someone hit Lucien to stop talking but Eirwen had already heard most of his words and could understand what he wanted to say. At this moment Eirwen's eyes narrowed sternly. He is clearly angry at this moment.
Adrienne: &123;D-Dear?&125;
Night: &123;Send the gift as soon as possible. The two of you can explain yourselves after you descend.&125;
Lucien and Adrienne:&123;Eira Wai--&125;
The connection using telepathy was cut off directly by Eirwen from his side, the twin Gods couldn't do anything about it as they were still in the divine realm. The moment the mind connection they had with Eirwen was cut off and removed, Adrienne glares at his younger twin brother because of his loose mouth.
Lucien spoke, "A-Addie~ your eyes looks... dangerous ba~"
"Lou grit your teeth it would only hurt for a moment," says Adrienne while clicking the bones in his hands preparing to beat up someone.
Seeing his elder twin brother's gloomy expression, Lucien could already guess that his brother is indeed going to beat him up for real. This is because he made Eirwen Night angry and they couldn't even explain themselves as they were still in the Divine Realm waiting for their respective rituals for descension.
Lucien let Adrienne beat him up until he was satisfied. Only when his elder twin brother calmed down that he immediately healed himself and sat near his brother. Within the Temple of Gods, they continue to watch Eirwen from the water mirror in their courtyard. No one lives in this temple except the two of them. They leisurely move their throne near the mirror spring so they could see Eirwen 24/7. Of course, Eirwen Night's slight change of expression when Lucien slips a word just now was seen by them as well.
Lucien asked, "Brother, do you think Eira is really angry?"
"Don't know. But as long as we explain it properly then things shouldn't go too wrong," answered Adrienne.
"But I am only telling the truth, we indeed had chosen those two little human girls to play the role of the candidate as the Saintess that could hear our voices directly. The Saintess's role is to be a pawn which the mortal races would consider as the God's lover. but in the end, isn't the Saintess just a toy for us Gods to control?" says Lucien.
"But after playing this RPG game-like world for a few millennia it is getting boring. This must be the real reason why Eira came over to us. So we can spend the rest of our time with him~" The God of Light smiles as long as Eirwen Night is mentioned with his mouth. He had truly fallen for the latter as his feelings were starting to show on his face.
Th God of Darkness responded, "This is why we need to descend soon."
Adrienne as Lucien's twin brother is the only other person who could understand the meaning of this change. As the Sovereign Gods of this world, nothing from this world could enter their eyes. Even if their admirer is a God like them, they were never moved by this emotion the others call as love.
The two of them could vaguely feel that they have existed even before this world is made. The original them must be extremely lonely that he had decided to split himself up so he would never be bored on his own. This must be the meaning of them becoming twins. The original them couldn't let himself destroy his own due to endless loneliness and despair, he had to split himself to avoid becoming crazy. This is because the original him couldn't allow himself to perish. He was waiting for someone to come.
That's right. They were waiting for someone to come. They had spent endless lifetimes in Aerd. They've already lived their lives as elves, dwarfs, and all the races available in Aerd looking for that someone they've been waiting for all eternity. In the end, they've returned to being Gods. As a God, their lifespan is even nonexistent. To ease their boredom, these two Sovereign Gods had decided to treat the mortal realm as a game board.
With their, God Avatar's a player which they could possess and move anytime, the history of the humanoid races were manipulated by them. This is what they called world plots. They've been playing this way for decades until this person named Eirwen Night destroyed the equilibrium called plot. An unknown existence. Someone they had no control over but at the same time the only person who was able to move their hearts and learn what emotions and feelings are.
That's right without Lucien and Adrienne knowing Eirwen Night becomes the reason for their existence. He is their heart, their soul, and their other half. This person exists for them. He can only be his and no one else is allowed to possess him.
A person that is only for them, Eirwen Night.
