Chapter 234 - 7.32 Second Violet Star - Twins
Eirwen Night had finally lost the will when he witnessed his husband's soul fragment cries. Moreover, now that the original soul fragment had split into two, his husband's habits, behavior, gestures, and mannerism were also halved to these two beings. Though he hasn't met them with their real appearance in this world, Eirwen is sure able to differentiate them at this moment.
One possessed his husband's captivating obsidian eyes. It had the same shade and feeling, especially seeing galaxies and stars from within it. It is like staring at the darkness abyss itself. It is boundless and full of amazing things. Moreover, his roguish behavior is almost his nature. This is also one of his husband's quirks.
On the other hand, own his husband's scent. The scent of blood is mixed with a deep, woody scent and often smells like a mix of floral, rich, balsamic, soft, and sweet accents. This is his other half's unique aroma. Ever since they've completed the Mating ceremony in the fifth world, they are able to completely differentiate the scent between them.
Eirwen's thoughts, 'Sigh~ why did he have to become two in this world? Isn't it only me who would suffer when the nightly exercises are done? I wonder if there is something helpful in the system mall which would make it less painful?'
[Host there isn't anything that can make it less painful but there are goods that could make you extremely good.]
"Are you telling me to redeem an aphrodisiac!? No way, they would only become wilder that way!"
[But you would feel more comfortable as well~]
"Shut up. Is there anything that could shrink that thing size?! There should be one right?"
[Well~ there used to be one but... after the beast world we came from the Lord God learned our secret conversation when you asked me the same question. After that world the lord god had removed all those kinds of items.]
"Fuck! Why are you telling me this now!?"
[So the host can accept his fate.]
"You basta--...???" Suddenly he felt his waist being hugged as another head was placed on the other side of his shoulder. Now, two heads are sniffing on his neck.
Hero Luciel complains, "Honey can't just favor one. We are twins, so the two of us are one."
"Twins? For real, identical or not?" asked Eirwen.
Luciel and Adrienne both showed their faces and looked at Eirwen. They answered together.
"Identical." replied the twins.
Hearing that his husband in this world is identical twins made Eirwen extremely interested. He had always been an only child. He never had a sibling before. Moreover, when his cousins were born he was so busy with work that he could only go home during Christmas and New Year.
Eirwen finally lost interest in running away. Now he wanted to see what the twins looked like.
"So... when are you guys going to des---"
Cough!
A fake gesture of coughing paused Eirwen's words, when he looked for the source it was the assassin knight from before beside him is Neige who is motioning to him to be quiet. Only then did he realize that there are still other people around them and that the place they are into is the guild hall for adventurers.
"This... I forgot about the surroundings. Can you two alter their memories?" asked Eirwen to the twins who are still hugging him.
Hero Luciel and the other man looked at the assassin knight who accepted his fate to clean up after his lords.
The assassin knight spoke, "Please leave everything to me, my lords."
"Ming, you can help him with the rest," says Eirwen before disappearing in thin air with the twins.
Their sudden disappearance caused a shock to everyone in the hall. As for what the mortals knew, the ability to teleport is something that can only be done by Gods. Now that they saw three people suddenly disappearing in front of them, left them in awe, shock and disbelief.
Whoa! They've disappeared!
Shit! What the hell happens!?
Isn't that Hero Luciel and the regent, Lord Raine!? They were hugging the young man just now!
Are we still dreaming? Did they just use teleportation just now?
Aren't only Gods and Gods' Avatars able to do such a thing!?
Are they Gods? All three of them!
Araysh murmured, "Sigh~ this kind of thing always falls on us~"
[I will help you, Warden Lou, don't worry.]
"I will prevent them from leaving the building," says Neige.
Araysh, Zhi Yue, and Neige had worked together to clean up the mess their lord had made without care for their surroundings. They had always been like this. In all worlds, these three work together to make sure that things would be stabilized even though their lords themselves cause chaos.
Then Araysh in the Assassin knight's body had no other choice but to take control of everyone's mind inside the guild hall including the party members of the Hero and the guild's staff. Only Neige was not influenced by his spell to alter memories. Neige also lends him a hand by preventing others from leaving the guild by freezing the windows and doors of the Guildhall. They've worked together to clean up after their lords.
Meanwhile, It was the regent, Raine Li, who used a teleport spell to instantly leave the guild hall together with his beloved and twin brother. The location he had chosen as the target is the Royal Palace of the Empire. They are now in the Regent's courtyard.
Like how the royal palace is designed to be an old Chinese castle in the books where the lands were separated into buildings for each royalty member. Within the separated island from the main city, several courtyards were made for the others to live in. Raine Li as the current reigning proxy emperor, he lives at the main palace.
When Eirwen opened his eyes the new scenery of luxury welcomed him. Ebony tables and chairs, black jade walls, fur carpets, Sandalwood scented incense, and old ancient china antiques like calligraphy writings and ink paintings of immortal sceneries. Everything within this room could let a commoner live unfinished for years.
Unfortunately, nothing of these materialistic things is able to enter the eyes of the three men who suddenly appeared. The cleaning servants shriek at the sudden arrival of their Lord and prince.
"Your Highness the Regent and your highness the crown prince. These servants greet the lords!" The servants collectively lowered their heads and bent their backs to greet them.
The loud noise from their greeting made Eirwen frown for a moment. For someone like him who loves the quiet, the loudness of their voices made his ears uncomfortable. The Regent, Raine, and the Crown Prince, Luciel, both notice his change of expression.
Their aura turns colder as they stare at the servants that made their beloved uncomfortable.
"Leave the room!" The two spoke in undertone but the servants could feel the intense pressure coming for their lords.
They immediately ran out of the room in fear. They didn't even notice the young man their lord regent is carrying in his arms, at the same time hugged by the waist of their prince.
Once all the servants disappeared inside the room. Raine and Luciel return their full attention at Eirwen.
"Honey, are your ears hurt?" asked Luciel worriedly.
Eirwen replies nonchalantly, "I am fine. Don't worry." he jumps out of Raine's arms and lightly sweeps the creases on his clothing. He removed his disguise as it was no longer useful in front of the twins. The two watched him closely, intending to make a move if the little dares to escape.
The hot yet piercing gaze Eirwen is feeling on his back is too obvious. He is used to it and never paid a mind over it. He looks around the room and lightly smiles to see the simple yet extremely expensive decorations in the area. It was in line with his taste to see such things.
He eats at the nearest table and waves his hand. A tea set appeared on the table. He poured himself and the other two some tea.
"Take a seat," he said as he motioned the two to sit down.
The twins look at each other before walking towards Eirwen. The regent sat on his left while the hero sat on his right. They both took over the two areas on each side of Eirwen.
Eirwen asked, "You're going to formally introduce yourself in such a manner?"
The two were a bit startled and understood what their beloved wanted to do. The Regent kneeled on one knee on Eirwen's left, he held his left hand and kissed the back off it with pious sense.
"My name is Adrienne. The God of Darkness in the mortals' eyes and the Demon God under the eyes of the demon and fallen races."
While on his right the hero Luciel did the same thing his elder brother did. He removed the cup from his beloved hands and placed it back on the table before kissing the back of his hand. With a delighted yet roguish smile on his face, he introduced himself.
"The God of light and hope. Honey my name is Lucien. You can call me Lou, darling or husband! I wanted to hear the last one the most!"
Eirwen didn't pull his hand out right away as the twins were gripping it too hard for him to take back.
"You already know my name so let's skip it. I'm an otherworlder who came to this world for no reason. I just wanted to play around. I used to be a mortal when I first came here but... After my death, I was reborn and became the Ice-related race's newly born god I guess. The God of Ice, Snow, and Blood and Supreme Ruler of Winter."
Adrienne and Lucien frown for a moment when they've heard their beloved's introduction. He called himself a God but for some reason, he hasn't pulled up for ascension which is weird. The twins looked worried at the man before them.
Eirwen could read their emotions too clearly. "There is no problem with me. To avoid ascension I sealed my divinity. I would remove it when I had enough fun here and ascend with you both."
He pulled them up and let the two sit beside him. The two sat at the space of their beloved's side wrapping their arms around his waist.
"Too clingy!" Eirwen scolded.
The twins immediately pouted and looked at Eirwen like bullied puppies.
Eirwen almost melted with cuteness overload. He was hit by fluffiness on both sides. He closed his eyes for a moment to calm himself down.
"Don't look at me like that! You are both already holding my hands. Do you still want to squeeze me in between you both huge men!?" complains Eirwen.
Adrienne spoke, "But we miss you so much!"
"That's right! Moreover, unlike Addie, this is our first real meeting. When I saw you 2 years ago you were already... de... Anyway, it's unfair. You've called Addie as Rienne. What about me!?" said Lucien, completely acting like a jealous husband.
"I'll call you Lucy then," says Eirwen slightly laughing at his husband's shamelessness.
Lucien pouts and says, "Can't you just call me hubby instead? ~"
"No!" said both Eirwen and Adrienne.
Lucien glares at his twin brother this time even Eirwen looked at his husband. He didn't believe that Adrienne didn't want him to call him husband.
"Addie, you don't want Eira to call his husband?" asked Lucien.
Adrienne frowned for a moment. "Not in this body. We are only borrowing this vessel."
"Oh~ right. This vessel has its own soul," murmured Lucien.
Eirwen was enjoying the twin's conversation with an amused smile. Seeing the two like this made him remember the scenes when A'Ye talks to himself whenever he couldn't decide on something. Now that he splits into two the scene made it more interesting.
Eirwen spoke, "So~ when do you plan to descend?"
"A month from now." the twins replied.
Eirwen smiles at the twins but for the meaning of that expression, only the former knew about it.
