Chapter 218: 7.17 Second Violet Star - Events before Eirwen Night"s Death
These were events that happened before the death of Eirwen Night two years ago. After the first night of summoning. The saintess candidates were all called the next morning for breakfast with the king. The meal had progressed without problems. After eating King Argus informed the Saintess about their schedule for the following days.
King Argus announces, "Lady, your lesson would begin 3 days from now on. To understand our world, Aerd, we decided to give you ladies teachers which would introduce you to this world"s common sense. This is after all your new home, an adjustment must be made for you to cope up with the current world."
"It would be an honor, your majesty," said Bela while acting virtuously.
The youngest lady lowered her head timidly, sneaking a peek at everyone. She even stares longer at the man in a lady"s dress beside her. Eirwen Night on the other hand acted like he didn"t hear a thing and continued eating his dessert which he had the kitchen made. A simple sherbet, a frozen dessert made with fruit juice added to milk or cream, egg white, or gelatin.
Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they could roam freely around without worries but they would have to attend cla.s.ses on the third day. The cla.s.ses were composed of general information, etiquette lessons, magic and formation lessons as well as martial arts training.
These were basic necessities for them to live in this world without problems. Upon hearing these the three candidates had different reactions. Bela reacted calmly as if she had already expected this. Angela stiffened as she was still not used to this world and turned timid while Eirwen looked expressionless at the moment but was already thinking of ways on how to escape the lessons.
Once the king had dismissed everyone, Eirwen Night had separated himself from the rest. Angela Evans wants to go with him and have a short conversation but the young lady"s legs were short and instantly lost Eirwen who was walking without a care of others. Eirwen Night asked his system to point the way towards the castle"s library. He wanted to read some books in peace.
With System Yue acting as a map guide, they"ve finally found the library. The storeroom for books was large. There are at least 2 floors inside the place. There is only one librarian who registers people by the entrance aside from that the library is as quiet as it could be. Desolated and noiseless. Eirwen Night immediately liked this kind of atmosphere.
"Yue, only warn me if someone is approaching. I want to read my book in silence," said Eirwen in his head.
[As you wish, host.]
Eirwen Night after recording his name at the entrance register had walked around the library. As soon as he went to a place where he could be alone the hovering white light around him and materialized into tiny ice pixies. They were a kind of fairy that were miniature in size. They are the ice spirits that appear out of nowhere and surround him yesterday after getting summoned into this world.
"Milord~ can you see us? Can you hear us?~"
"Wow~ this is the first time I meet someone with the strong scent of snow and ice."
"There is also a strong scent of blood."
"Um~ it feels comfortable by milord"s side~"
"Un! Yes~ the Ice affinity amplifies by this human"s side Amazing~"
Countless teeny-weeny voices were heard like a whisper in Eirwen Night"s ear. He had already known that the ice elements in this world could materialize themselves. He has an extreme Yin nature since birth and his affinity with Ice is exceptional. It"s normal for any ice-related race to feel relaxed in his presence.
"My name is Eirwen Night. I wish to read my books in silence. Would you like to accompany me?" he asked.
The ice spirits tremble in excitement seeing that Eirwen is willing to talk with them. This extremely likable human is unafraid of meeting them and the aura around him really makes them happy. The ice spirits instantly turned servile towards Eirwen Night.
"Nice to meet you, milord!"
"What kind of books do you wish to read? We... no I will bring it over for you~"
"No, I will look for it and give it to you! Tell me what you want to read?"
"I will help too."
"Me too."
Eirwen Night replies, "Then please go bring the book which introduces this world"s common sense."
"Yes, sir!"
The childish antics of the pixies made Eirwen Night remember his little son. His baby Xiao Jing had been spoiled by him and his husband because of that he could openly speak about what he wanted to do or what he wanted to have. He is also no longer as expressionless as the both of them. There would always be a smile on his cuddly face at least when to them and their family.
"I wonder how Xiao Jing is doing lately?" murmured Eirwen Night.
[The young master should be fine, host. His grandparents and granduncles would be looking after him well. But I do miss Xiao Jing too~]
Zhi Yue had always accompanied his little nephew in the last two worlds and watched him grow up from a baby to how he was before he left with his grandparents.
"We could see him after everything is over. It is better for him to not be with us as I and A"Ye were being targeted by our enemies. I have a lot of them on my own and adding up those who wanted A"Ye dead there numbers can no longer be counted by hands and feet." said Eirwen in his mind.
System Yue had remained silent upon hearing these words. He knew how many people wanted the Lord G.o.d dead and how numerous his host enemies were. He couldn"t even find the right words to comfort his host about this kind of thing.
Once he receives a book pa.s.sed by a pixie, Eirwen Night takes a corner table and reads his book in silence. The ice pixies were hovering around him. Some had enough courage to sit on their shoulders and head. They remained silent the whole time and only the sound of paper moving could be heard in that corner of the library.
Eirwen Night reads his book faster than normal. With System Yue adjusting his memories, the language of this world was instantly learned by him just by reading through a few books. He stayed at the library from morning to evening until he was called for dinner by an escort knight. After dinner, he returns to the library and once again continues reading his books.
It only took two whole days to read all the books in the library. He didn"t sleep for two nights and only left to eat his meals.
On the third day, morning at the library.
Eirwen Night finally finished the last book in his hand and returned it to the shelf near him. He lightly yawns in sleepiness as he stretches his arms.
[Host, I cannot believe you really finished reading all the books in the library. Now you don"t need to attend the lessons tomorrow with the acc.u.mulated knowledge you got from these books.]
He replies, "I know. That"s the second reason why I"ve read these books. Now we only need to attend one lesson and show off what I"ve got and then continue to relax until that stupid protagonist dig pits on her own." said Eirwen.
After returning to his room and taking a bath, Eirwen Night once again roams around the castle. Once he gets bored of the empty palace and gardens, Eirwen sneaks out of the castle gates to go wild in the nearby city. He had to borrow a servant"s uniform at their place and change his clothes to an article of ordinary female clothing. He still needs to wear the woman version of his clothes as this is his character setting.
He had been wearing a dress ever since he came into this world in the end he got used to it and no longer complains about his character"s weird hobby of wearing women"s clothes.
[Host, you have gotten used to wearing dresses. Are you awakening a new hobby for yourself~]
"Stupid moon, do you want to become a ball in real sense. I"ll dribble you like a basketball if you don"t shut up!" replied Eirwen Night in his mind while in reality, he is talking to the servants exchanging things from his world in money.
[Host with your voice it isn"t believable that your angry as you sound coquettish and all~]
"You f.u.c.ker! You"re the one who gave me this vessel!"
[I did not! It was this world who choose that vessel for you! In short the twin G.o.ds who plays the role as the heavenly wills were the one who gave you that vessel! It"s really not me, host!]
Eirwen sold a cooking book to the head chef in the kitchen and received 3 gold coins from the old cook. The other staff, especially the women, were extremely delighted to get their share of whitening and scented lotions that could help them with skincare. Some knights bought perfumes for their lovers. In the end, Eirwen Night got introduced to some local places in the city outside the castle and achieved a budget of 10 gold coins, 25 silver coins, and 200 copper coins. He can be considered slightly wealthy at this moment.
After getting some currency used in this world, Eirwen Night happily heads to the city town to enjoy himself. The ladies at the kitchen had been extremely delighted with the beauty products he sold to them and even gave him some ordinary yet pretty clothes.
At this moment Eirwen Night had once again changed his clothing, he removed the maid uniform he got from the castle and instead wore an off-shoulder white long dress. The sleeves at the end were wide and hid most of his arms except his exposed shoulder. His chest was lightly covered and only a brown string was crossed in front to hold up the collar of his dress.
The length had reached below his knees, he was even given a pair of brown boots to hide the rest of his exposed ankle. wearing a hooded silk cloak he received from a kind aunt at the kitchen, Eirwen"s current attire made him look like an extreme beauty wearing ordinary clothing. This is because of his poise and elegance, no matter what he wears would look good on him.
[Wow~ Host... even this world"s ordinary clothes look expensive when worn by you. As expected of an internet model.]
"If you don"t shut up I"m not going to share the delicious food I would find in the town with you!" said Eirwen Night.
[Host~ I will shut up. Share with me the food.]
Eirwen Night successfully escaped from the castle guards and went to the town while hiding his appearance under his cloak. But even if he hides his face from the other people, his gestures still give him away. He looks like a n.o.ble wearing an item of ordinary clothing for disguise. The thieves had made him their target the moment he entered the town.
He was looking at a cafe from the outside of the store. Seeing that there are only female guests inside the store, Eirwen Night is thinking twice about whether he would enter for the sake of sweets. He is now window shopping looking at the rows of cakes in front of him. If not because his eyes were glowing as he stared at the cakes despite his expressionless face that the staff of the store would ask him to leave.
"That strawberry shortcake looks delicious~"
[Host~ I want the blueberry pie on the third row! Also that Tiramisu is beside the chocolate cake!]
"There are eclairs as well~ Yue, is our money enough to buy cakes?" asked Eirwen in his mind.
[The host could buy at least one whole row with all the money you have right now. Are we going to eat here or in the castle"s garden? There is also a nearby river if the host wants to have a picnic.]
"Let"s have a picnic! Wait, let me think more about what I should buy. You make me some milk tea in the dimensional s.p.a.ce."
[Okay! I will make some now... Host be careful there are thieves!!]
As soon as System Yue"s words resound in his head, Eirwen saw some children intentionally b.u.mps into him. He instantly knew that the children were intending to steal his coin pouch. After the children had b.u.mped into him, they"ve run towards the alley leaving Eirwen Night to fall on the ground.
[AH~ Our food money!!! Host go get it back~]
"Ouch~ These brats~" murmured Eirwen Night while rubbing his b.u.t.t which cushioned his fall.
[Host, they are running away with our food money! Without it our cakes would be gone too!!!]
Eirwen Night lightly pats his b.u.t.t and stood up, "Which way did they go?!"
[At the right side alley!]
