I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 225: 7.24 Second Violet Star - Lucien and Adrienne

Archmage Alexis had seen Eirwen Night sleeping throughout his whole class. He didnʼt mind as he already knew that the latter had already read everything in the library a few days before. He only asked him to take the sample questionnaire every after the lesson.

Archmage spoke, ”The first lesson for today is finished. Please take half an hourʼs break. Your next lesson is general knowledge. The sample questions you had answered just now are to check your knowledge about this world. Lady Evans and Lady Laurel had not passed the minimum knowledge please continue attending the lessons.” he said.

Lady Evans and Lady Laurel say, ”We will continue to attend the lessons.”

”As for Lady Night, you must be a genius! Every answer you have written is correct. With this, I am assured that you had really read all the books in the library a few days ago. You can attend the lesson at your own pace but please at least attend the practical lessons on dancing, magic, and martial arts.” says the Archmage. Thereʼs a huge smile on his face when talking to Eirwen. 

Eirwen, on the other hand, couldnʼt be helped but fell in a daze as everything from his head and his ears were ringing. The one causing his head to throbbed is his system shouting in his head asking him to wake up.

[Host~ wake up! Itʼs time to eat!!!]

At the same time, the ice pixies hovering around him had all flown near his ears and kept murmuring nonstop like bugs.

ʼWake up, Lord!!ʼ

ʼYou told us to wake you up!ʼ

ʼUpsy-daisy my lord~ʼ

ʼYou promised to eat cakes with us~ʼ

ʼCakes. cupcakes. cream puff. pudding. pancakes.ʼ

”Urgh~ stop chanting food in my ears! Donʼt scream in my head!!!” exclaimed Eirwen internally, he even used his special skill: Telepathy, to convey his message to his system and the ice pixies as he couldnʼt shout in reality lest he would be taken as a lunatic talking to no one.

[A/n: Most spirit races were invisible to others. Ordinary humans or warriors who donʼt use mana couldnʼt see spirits. While for magic-related occupations like mages and such, it would depend to the extent of their mana on whether they could clearly see the appearance of the spirit or feel them.]

In the Archmageʼs case, he could clearly see them as light orbs but at the same time, he couldnʼt clearly see their appearances. But it is not like he is weak, for other element spirit races like fire and water, he could distinctly see them as he has the highest compatibility with fire and water elements. Sadly, he had no affinity with ice which is why even though he could feel them, he could only see them as white orbs.

What they didnʼt notice is that the young lady called Angela is looking at Eirwen with glowing eyes. The target of her gaze is not Eirwen Night himself but those cute small figures hovering around him instead. Unlike Archmage Alexis, she could see their real appearance.

Angela Evansʼs thoughts: ʼWoa~ so cute~ʼ

[Host. Yue has found someone you can push to become a Saintess. The young girl beside you seems to have a great affinity with all elements except ice. Her compatibility with the Ice attribute is only half but if you give her your blessing, she would become the strongest Saintess in history.]

Eirwen Night suddenly moves his gaze to look at his side and meet Angela Evansʼs eyes. Seeing the close-up version of an ethereal looking man like Eirwen Night made her blush unconsciously. It wasnʼt a feeling of love or like, just pure appreciation of beauty.

To Lady Evansʼs eyes, the appearance of Eirwen Night is like looking at an immortal. He is extremely gorgeous and the embodiment of elegance. His presence is hard to ignore but at the same time, itʼs harder to see through. The cold temperament is carved within his soul, his aloofness matches his beauty.

Though at the same time a hidden touch of mischievousness had been used as a veil for the depths of his soul is full of cruelty and destruction. Lady Evans could feel that behind his cold yet beautiful facade is an extremely dangerous person covered in the scent of blood and snow.

Meeting those phoenix-shaped eyes and aureate irises, Lady Evans immediately lowered her head in fear of the latterʼs anger. She wanted to avoid meeting his gaze as she averted her eyes away from him. But she could still feel the piercing gaze Eirwen is giving her.

Eirwen spoke to his system in his mind, ”Let me see her current status board. You can appraise her current level and let me see the results.”

[I will do it right away, Host. Please wait for a bit.]

He also sent a single pixie to look after the young girl in case Bela Laurel attempted to bully her. The ice pixies had to play rock, paper, scissors to choose who among them would stay to protect the little girl while the others would go with the lord to enjoy food. The pixie who lost cried a river when he knew that today no desserts could be eaten by him. 

What the loser pixie didnʼt expect is that his lord would suddenly be sent a telepathic message privately to him. 

”Donʼt cry. The little girl can see you. She can get you desserts made in the place if you ask. In exchange protect her from the witch across her.” said the message Eirwen sent to the loser pixie.

The pixies saluted in response to his Lordʼs message which startled his other pixie friends. 

Eirwen had moved away from his eyes and prepared to leave the class once the archmage had taken his leave. Since he had been permitted to skip classes except for practical ones then he would enjoy this freedom he got for himself.

The archmage didnʼt say a thing when he saw Eirwen Night follow him to leave the library. Before they got out of the library, the librarian had approached Eirwen Night with a smile. He passed him a new book about childrenʼs short stories. This is something he had asked the librarian before. As he plans to read stories to those children who come over to see him every time he goes to town.

The librarian smiles at Eirwen and says, ”This is the book you wish to borrow. Iʼve recorded it for you, Lady Night.”

”You have my gratitude, Sir Riley. I would return the book tonight,” says Eirwen.

The librarian named Riley is the archmage disciple. He works at the royal library whenever he has free time. As the royal library is full of books he loves. Sir Riley is a bookworm. He likes reading all kinds of books. He also watched Eirwen Night finish reading all the books in the library and felt that they would get along well.

Of course, as the archmageʼs disciple, he knew about the Saintess candidates as well as Eirwen Nightʼs real gender and quirks. This is why he calls him a lady when he wears a ladyʼs dress.

Riley smiles and says, ”You could return it any time. I am always here in the library, Lady Night.”

”I will keep that in mind, Sir Riley,” says Eirwen before walking away ignoring the flattering gaze of Riley. He is so used to everyone acting in such a way towards him that he tends to ignore it as usual.

Riley seems to be used to being ignored by Eirwen and still smiles as he bids him farewell.

”Have a nice day, Lady Night,” says Riley.

After Eirwen left the library, Archmage Alexis looked at his disciple with warning eyes.

”Master, I know my boundaries. I will not cause anything which may harm him. He is the first person that made me want to be friends with.” said Riley.

Archmage Alexis replies, ”Iʼm not stopping you in making friends with Lord Night but... He is more aloof than the young duke in such a case. You cannot force him to do something he doesnʼt like. Duke Damian said that he is a dangerous and unpredictable person. We couldnʼt offend him.”

”This... I know it well. He is someone the ice spirit race loves and serves after all.” says Riley before returning to his work as a librarian. ”There is no need to protect Lady Evans more than she currently has, someone had left a spirit to secretly protect her from harm. Master should send more sweets to her instead of more secret guards.”

On the other hand, the archmage was stunned by what his disciple had said. Among all his disciples only Riley is born with special eyes. He could see more things about indefinite beings like spirits regardless of his affinities with elements. He could also understand spirit language and had an amiable personality which is like by spirit race. It was also because of this that Mage Riley is distant most of the time as he could see more than other people.

Archmage Alexis had to leave with confusion in his mind. He had to inform the teachers after him about Eirwen Nightʼs exception in classes unless itʼs a practical lesson his attendance isnʼt mandatory.

---

Meanwhile, at the Divine Realm, the Twin Gods of light and darkness were observing the candidates from Godʼs plane. Theyʼve observed Eirwen Night more closely than the other two candidates.

Lucien spoke with a roguish smirk on his face as he hung his body loosely at his elder twin brotherʼs back who was busy watching Eirwen Night at the water mirror which reflects the mortal landʼs scenes.

”Addie~ Youʼve been unexpectedly interested in a mortal. You who used to see all beings in the mortal plane as ants. This is truly unexpected~” said Lucien.

Adrienne ignores his annoying younger twin as he watches Eirwen expressionless.

”I am not interested. He just makes me feel weird and I couldnʼt ignore him at all. Lucien, do you not feel anything cast on me at all. A bewitching spell or whatever is it?” asked Adrienne.

Lucien had always emitted a holy figure in front of beings in the mortal plane. With his floor-length golden hair which glows like the sun under the light. While his obsidian eyes show gentleness in contrast to its shade. As the God of light everyone in the mortal plane sees him as the embodiment of hope, holiness, and glory.

What his believers donʼt know is that his holy father figure is nothing but a facade. There is no one more shameless than him in all realms. He is haughty and proud that no one could control him except for his elder brother.

”I told you countless times, Addie. He had not cast any spell on your puppet. Iʼve checked it numerous times for you. Moreover, even if your puppet is under some kind of spell you would notice it right away.” replies Lucien while playing with his elder brotherʼs black hair.

Unlike his golden hair, he likes his brotherʼs raven hair more. Adrienne gave his younger brother a cold glare and the latter immediately stopped playing with his hair. 

”Iʼm asking you to seriously stop playing with my hair,” said Adrienne.

Lucien snorts as he indeed stops playing with his brotherʼs hair and stares at his own fancy golden shade hair color which annoys him and the time.

”I like the shade of your hair. Why do I have to be born with this bright color? I love black. The only thing I like about me is my eyes!” complains Lucien.

Adrienne looks at his brotherʼs obsidian irises. It had the same shade as his hair but at the same time, he possessed the similar color of his brotherʼs aureate hair as his eyes color. They both possess similar appearances and the only contrast is the color of their hair and eyes. They were similar and unfamiliar at the same time.

”Your eyes are indeed nice. I donʼt like my eyesʼ color as well. It makes me want to dig them out.” responded Adrienne as he moved his hand moving towards the direction of his eyes. 

Lucien had to stop this elder brother of his as everything he said before was things he would do as he was told. He is cruel and merciless not only towards his enemies but also against himself. 

”Stop! It would make me uncomfortable if someone who looks like me suddenly becomes ugly,” said Lucien. 

Adrienne was a bit ticked with what his younger brother had said and hit his head without any hesitation. 

”You lunatic. Who wants to look like you! If not because weʼre identical twins I would have beaten you half dead with that mouth of yours.” says Adrienne just based on his tone he is annoyed by his younger brotherʼs words. 

”Except for our hair and eyes, colors interchanging it would be even harder for the other to notice who among us is you or me!? Moreover, the rest of the gods didnʼt know but you and I used to be one person. I really couldnʼt understand why our former self chooses to split himself into two.” murmured Lucien. 

Adrienne turned silent with what his brother had said. As he also didnʼt know why their souls split into two. All they could remember is that both of them used to be on being before.
