A deafening quietness spreads in the temple. For the first time in their lives, the twin gods who are said to be the strongest existence in the Divine Realm couldn't even bring back the life of their fated person.

The twin gods thought that Eirwen Night's soul must be lingering near the body and didn't want to return back to life because of the two of them. They've started pleading for Eirwen to come back.

Adrienne kissed the back of Eirwen's right hand. "Eira. I was wrong. I shouldn't have ordered Araysh the dark elf to kill you. It's all my fault. Even if you don't want to see me anymore in exchange for you resurrecting then... I don't mind.

I wouldn't show myself in front of you. I will not appear as long as you don't want me to. I will agree with anything just... Just don't suddenly disappear on me. Please~ Eira~" pleads Damian Adrienne.

Lucien also did the same thing, "I also made the same mistake. You can get angry and beat me up if you wish! I won't fight back. Honey, can you come back please? ~"

The twins alternate in talking to Eirwen Night's corpse. If others see this they might think that they were both crazy as they kept talking to a dead body. But the twin doesn't care about other people's thoughts.

This was the scene King Argus, Archmage Alexis, Bela Laurel, and Angela Evans had witnessed upon their arrival in the temple. How unfortunate that they couldn't understand a word they've said. It's something close from such a far distance.

Bewildered King Argus, "Duke Damian. What happened? Is L-Lord Night g-gone!?"

"Gone? What do you mean? You told me you can resurrect someone who just died!? How is it that you can't resurrect my brother!!??" exclaimed Angela Evans as she runs towards the altar and checks on Eirwen Night.

"Brother...? Brother Eira!? Wuwuwu~ you didn't say anything about dying~ last night you only told me to be careful. Is it because you know this would happen!? Sobs~" grumbled Lady Evans while looking at the cold and bloody figure of her jiejie's body.

Seeing such a tragic scene, Angela couldn't help but cry out once again. No matter what others say Lady Evans is just a teenage girl and Eirwen Night was someone who treats her better as his own younger sister. Thought that is what Angela thinks on her own.

Her words shocked not only the duke and the pope but even the king and the other two as well.

Duke Damian asked, "You said... Last night, he... told you to... be careful!?"

Angela whose mind is already in a mess and could only answer honestly and nods her head.

"Y-Yes~ sniff! Jiejie called me to come to him last night. Sobs~ he... Told me... Something would happen today... Wuwu~ he never told me there would be assassins! He only told me to firmly hide behind the king or grandpa mage's back! Why did you protect jiejie properly!? You were the only one on his side when those bad guys attacked us!"

On the other hand, the pope is shocked by the different things, they watch him touch Eirwen Night's chest and grope here and there. His surprise increased at every touch. The duke slapped the pope's naughty hands in anger.

SLAP!!! 

"What the hell are you doing!?" exclaimed Damian Adrienne.

The pope who was acting rouge just now looked at his brother with a stunned gaze. He thought his baby was a little princess but instead, he is a little prince.

Lucien stutters as he speaks, "She... is a male!?"

"Yes. Do you have a problem with it?" asked Damian Adrienne but one could see his eyes gleaming in anticipation as he asked this question to his twin brother. 

Damian Lucien wasn't blind. He could see through his brother's thoughts and narrowly squinted his eyes. Once again holding the left hand of Eirwen Night.

"Don't think about it! Regardless of what the gender is, my feelings for him remain the same," said Lucien.

Snorts! 

The duke just lightly snorts at his twin brother.

Lucien, the pope says, "He was someone from another world. No wonder the resurrection spell didn't work. It is because his soul's jurisdictions were outside this world God's control."

Duke Damian took a silent stand as he could understand the meaning of the pope's words. The pope secretly exchanged eye contact with the duke and intentionally changed the topic. 

The pope stood up from where he was pretending like a high-ranking priest as he was known. Though his original personality is the same as that of a rogue, he couldn't allow others to know about it.

"The resurrection of Eirwen Night needs more time. For now, let's finish the business your majesty has come for." said the pope. "The two candidates for Saintess. Touch the orbs at the altar. Even if you can't control your own mana it would be activated as long as you touch the appraisal stone."

Lady Laurel and Lady Evans walk towards the orbs. They've both lightly placed their hands on the top of the ball and a glow suddenly appeared from it.

Bela Laurel's thoughts: 'Why is my blessing less by one!? And it's the most important blessing I need!' 

When Bela Laurel saw her status board appearing on the top of the glowing orb, she frowned for a moment to see one of her blessings from the Dark God missing. In her past life, the blessing of the Dark God allowed her not to be harmed by the demon race directly. It was thanks to that blessing that she was able to take over Eirwen Night's position as the Saintess after his death.

King Argus and the rest were looking at her status board. The king and the archmage frown for a bit seeing that Bela Laurel is indeed a candidate for the saintess.

Archmage Alexis commented, "There's the title. 3 elements of light, dark, and fire. There are two blessings as well! Woa~ An Item Box skill is such a rare thing. Not bad!" 

King Argus spoke, "Congratulations Lady Laurel." 

Bela smiled and started acting once again. "Thank you, your majesty. It was thanks to the opportunity your majesty had given to this lady.This is not a bad start. Lady Evans please~" she said while smiling at Angela with an expression that isn't really a smile 

Meanwhile, Lady Evan's Status had also appeared.

When everyone saw Angela Evan's status, not only King Argus and Archmage Alexis were dumbfounded. Almost everyone inside the temple including the duke and the pope look at the young lady's status board with astonishment. After all, the content of her appraisal isn't normal. 

King Argus mumbled, "All Elemental Attributes. Including the rare Ice Element." 

"Beloved child of Water Spirits!? Slightly liked by ICE SPIRITS!?" exclaimed the old archmage Alexis Castel. 

The pope murmured, "What is this mana control? New magic?" 

Angela answered honestly, "Jiejie says that with mana control the possibility of my spells going berserk would lessen. It allows the circulation of mana to be stable." 

The King and the rest who knew the person the young lady is calling Jiejie couldn't be helped by glancing weirdly at Eirwen Night's corpse by the side altar. 

"As for the things about the spirits, I got lost once in the nearby forest at the kingdom while looking for Jiejie. I accidentally fell in upon and was saved by an extremely beautiful Big Brother Siren. He said that I am so silly to slip into the pond and gave me that blessing so I won't drown the next time I fall in the water." explained Angela Evans. 

The trembling of the Archmage made due to excitement suddenly started. 

"A Siren! You don't mean the one that lives within the Spirit Forest. You've entered such a dangerous place alone!" scolded the old man mage. 

"No~ Jiejie is with me. We're playing hide and seek with the spirits in the forest in exchange for fruits. The one who told Jiejie about the forest is the ice spirits thought." said Angela. 

Bela suddenly argued, "Unfair! Why didn't you guys include me!?" 

Angela immediately hid behind the archmage and said, "I did! I asked you that day if you want to play. You said no because you're busy talking with the noble ladies. It's because you said that only I and Jiejie went to the Spirit forest."

Lady Laurel was rendered speechless with anger and regret. She does remember Angela coming over when she was having tea with the noble daughters that one day. Angela only asked her if she wanted to play with her who would have thought it was an opportunity to meet all elemental spirits in that sacred forest. They also met the Water God's avatar, the Siren.

Then thinking that Eirwen was the one who sent the little girl, Bela knew that Eirwen Night did it on purpose. He knew that if it was the little who came to call her the words that would be used are playing instead of opportunity. Angela Evans doesn't know how lucky she is to even enter the Spirit Forest.

Spirit Forest. This is a special land where portals connected to the Spirit realms or territories sometimes open. The spirits of all kinds gather in the Spirit forest when they're bored but it is forbidden for the other race to enter the spirit forest without a spirit escorting them in.

Bela grumbles, "It must be Eirwen. Only the Ice Spirits that protect him could bring them in!"

King Argus and Archmage Alexis silently agreed to Lady Laurel's words. They knew how much the ice spirits like Eirwen Night. Even in the end, the ice spirits protected Eirwen but... Still failed to save him.

The pope, who didn't know that his baby is under the protection of those obnoxious ice spirits, has a serious expression on his face. Among all the elements in Aerd, only the Ice Spirits haven't borne an Ice God or Winter God.

Despite that their strength is undeniably the strongest. The current Ice Spirit King could be said to be the only Spirit King that hasn't ascended in the divine realm. This is because of another prophecy.

The pope exchanged looks with the duke, "You said that he is protected by the Ice Spirits but when he was brought here by the duke there were no spirits around him at all." said the duke.

It was the archmage who answered the pope.

"This... This old man had overheard a bit of the ice spirits' conversation before they left. After Lord Night had fallen and was taken away by the duke to be brought to the temple, the ice spirits had almost gone ballistic... They've frozen the whole forest those assassins had entered and said... Inform the Ice Spirit King."

Once the words Ice Spirit King was mentioned, the duke and the pope turned vigilant. Then the sudden drop in temperature can be felt from within the whole country of Agios. The whole temple slowly turned to ice. It even climbs on the limbs of the king, the archmage, and Bela Laurel.

King Argus and Archmage Alexis didn't struggle like Bela Laurel even when they saw that the ice had already spread from their feet to their waist. Only Bela Laurel's shrieking echoes in the temple.

"KYAAA~ Save me... SAVE...!" Only the ice on Lady Laurel increases in speed. She was immediately frozen into an ice statue. 

"I'm unharmed?" murmured Angela. 

Archmage Alexis smiled, "You have the blessing of Ice. It won't harm you. As for why the king, I, and the duke are getting frozen is because of some personal reason on his side..." 

"The Ice Spirit King hates the other races. Except for a few special existences like the pope who is the avatar of the God of Light! It's a block of ice that won't take our lives but put us to temporary sleep." said the King. 

In an instant, King Argus and Archmage Alexis had turned into an Ice statue-like Bela Laurel. Duke Damian did as well. Angela looks around nervously as only she and the pope remain unfrozen in the whole land of Agios. 

Angela looked all over her and saw that she's unharmed by the ice. Instead, tiny ice spirits appeared around her playing with her. 

The pope looked at the little girl who was unharmed by those selfish and aloof ice spirits. 

"Your blessing is real. This weird blessing with unknown marks must be the real reason why." murmured the pope. 

Suddenly a block of ice appeared within the temple slowly melting into a humanoid form. This man looks like he's in his twenties. With his ears pointed like those of the elven race, skin as white as snow, an upturned fox-like eyes. His figure is slender and his whole temperament is cold and silent. 

Wearing a long-tailed white suit and fitted white pants with glittering snowflakes at the loose ends. And a huge pair of transparent fairy wings on his back which is made of ice as well. This person has cerulean irises and his beauty is unworldly. 

Angela cheerfully calls for the man's name as she recognizes him. Followed by the tiny ice spirits playing with her just now, they run towards the newly arrived young male fairy. 

"Big Brother Neige!!" calls Angela.

[A/n: In French snow is called Neige.]
