The crown prince of Kingdom Hart. They say he is a prodigy who was able to learn martial arts at a young age. Brave, courageous, and was almost like a hero. Everyone in Kingdom Hart adores him. They considered him as their kingdom's future hero. Not only had he had inherited his father's talents, but even his handsome features were also taken as well.

He is someone who was chosen to sit on the throne as the future king but at this moment he is only a friend who came with Angela Evans to visit another. 

Angela saw him being pulled out of the woods by the ice fairies.

The crown prince exclaims, "Whoa~ There are fairies! They do exist huh? More so in my own family land." he said while staring at the hovering little cute creatures pulling him over. 

Angela recognized the approaching man. "Viktor!" she calls.

The blond man cheerfully raised his hand in greetings with a grin on his handsome face, "Angie~ I got caught~ Help~"

The naughty ice fairies played their roles as kidnappers and say.

If you want to save him you must bring more dessert!

I want eclairs!

Me! I want creampuffs!

You can exchange him for some puddings!

Go ahead! List everything Angel. And have this human carry it over the next time you visit.

"Woa~ to think my worth is only a pile of desserts. Next time we come over this prince will give you a cart of desserts and sweets!" said Viktor.

Human! You're not bad!

A good human!

If you are really able to fulfill that promise. We are willing to give you a minor blessing.

Viktor was stunned to hear that he'll receive a blessing from the ice spirits in exchange for desserts.

"Eh? Really! You exchanged your blessing for desserts!?" asked Viktor.

Deafening sounds of rejection echoed in his ears.

NNNOOOOO!!!!

We are only giving it to you because you are Angie's friend!

That's right! Because the Lord says to take care of his little sister.

Angel is our Lord's younger sibling!

While the lord is still asleep we must look after her!

That's right. That's right!

Viktor looked at Angela with a surprised expression on his face, "Angie, you have an older sibling?" he asked. 

Angela Evans smiles as she says, "Yes! I have one. Didn't you know my Jiejie, Eirwen Night is a male?" 

When the name Eirwen Night was mentioned the crown prince finally recalls the conversation he had with his father and Uncle Alexis from before. Plus the rumors he heard from the soldiers in the castle. 

'The last Saintess Candidate is a playful person. He is proud yet kind. A person who is an embodiment of freedom and aloofness. Sadly~ he is... Gone now.' - King Argus. 

-Archmage Alexis, 'He is a great person loved by the ice spirits. The only one of our kind. Unfortunately, we lost him.' 

Soldiers in the castle. 

-'Don't you think it's kind of boring ever since Lady Night is gone?' 

-'I sometimes think that a playful person like him would be someone like a wind. Unhindered and free.'

-'Hahaha it made me remember those scenes when he bit the duke and lifted his skirt.'

-'Yea! I remember that too. I couldn't forget the shocked expressions of the king at that time. Hahaha' 

-'It would be fun if he is still alive. He is the type to treat those he doesn't like as air and treats those he likes as family. Even if you are a stranger as long as you cause no harm he wouldn't attack. Thought if you dare to harm those he likes then... The culprit could only rest in peace. My younger brother had played with Lady Night before and told me what they did with a huge smile. He likes playing with children the most.'

-'But he is gone now, and things at the palace have become boring once again.'

The crown prince recalled things the other says about that person. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand any of them as he hadn't personally met the rumored Eirwen Night. When he got back to the kingdom after finishing his mission given by the academia, Eirwen Night had already died.

The crown prince replies, "I didn't know."

"Right. Jiejie's gender is supposed to be a secret," murmured Angela.

Lady Evans and Crown Prince Viktor had stayed at the place for a while chatting with the fairies before finally taking their leave. Once they took their leave, another person's figure appeared at the gravestone. His presence had frightened the ice fairies into hiding. As they knew who this person really is.

Hih! That man is here again!! 

What should we do? We can't beat him! 

Hide. Let's hide! He's here! 

The man stood in front of the tomb looking solemnly at the name engraved on the gravestone. He was holding a familiar-looking purple hyacinth in his hand. The man didn't speak a word for an hour and just stood right in front of the grave. He was staring dazedly at the tombstone. 

An hour later this man finally moves. He placed the purple hyacinth he brought with him and placed it at the corner of the gravestone with a similar-looking flower at it. 

"I'll be able to freely find you soon, Eira." said the man. This person is Duke Damian of Kingdom Hart. The same man who caused the death of Eirwen Night. After a bit, he took his leave and no one knew the meaning of his words until a few days later.

---

Meanwhile in the land of Ivern. A week later after Angela Evans had visited his empty grave. 

At the garden of Hydrangea, someone who was peacefully sleeping amidst the flower had finally opened his eyes. Those aureate orbs were finally once again open for everyone to see.

[Host, you are finally awake. How are you feeling?]

Eirwen night answers, "Good. The uncomfortable feeling when I first got summoned into this world is gone. Now I shouldn't feel the restrictions the world has given me. Report the situation, Yue." The reply was exchanged in his mind as he was talking to his system.

[Two years had passed. The kingdom had accepted your death 2 years ago and erected a tomb for you. Angela Evans had entered academia and reached an acceptable level as a mage. Her light elements were quite powerful as well.

The king had given her the title of a princess and the Archmage had adopted her as his granddaughter. Now she is considered the future lady archmage, even if she did get awakened as the Saintess she should be able to leave her life in this world freely.

The king, the archmage, the duke, and the crown prince had protected her against Bela Laurel's schemes and made her stay away from her. The crown prince had also returned to the kingdom. Viktor Hart, a famous warrior who is almost a hero. He had become Angela Evans's place after bumping into each other in Academia. 

Bela Laurel had allied herself with the third prince and the noble faction. For the two years, they had been pressuring the king and his faction to give the third prince the opportunity for the position of the throne. He wanted to have the right to become the future king.

King Argus continues to disagree but the third prince's side keeps getting stronger. Only when the crown prince had returned that the pressure from the other side had slightly lightened.

There's another surprising news. Host, Duke Damian of this world, died three days ago. He was found lifeless at his place and the funeral is today.]

In his mind, he replies, "What are those fools trying to do?" 

[Duke Damian is his human avatar in this realm but God of Darkness could only place a wisp of his soul in that vessel. He could not freely leave the kingdom as a duke which is why he ended the life of his avatar and asked his believers the demon race to summon him to the mortal world. This way he should be able to descend back into this world and personally find you.]

"How about the other twin? Don't tell me he is planning to descend here as well?" asked Eirwen Night to Yue in his mind. 

[That... The death of Duke Damia. Coincides with the death of the current pope. The God of Light is clearly planning the same thing and wants to descend into this mortal realm to find you as well.]

"Let them descend. The question of whether they could catch or not remains~" A cunning smile appeared on his face. 

Eirwen slowly rose up from his lying position. When he looked around he saw Ice spirit king Neige and the rest of the ice spirits playing their respect towards him. With all their heads lower before Eirwen Night, they've collectively greeted each other.

"Welcome back, Winter God!"

The news of Duke Damian and the Pope's deaths had caused chaos in the kingdom. Duke Damian is King Argus's strongest ally now that he is gone the faction of the royal blood has weakened.

Kingdom Hart. King's Office.

Inside such a luxurious room, King Argus and Archmage Alexis both wore a dark expression on their faces. The crown prince sat with them while worrying at the crying Lady Evans seated beside him. Only the sobbing sounds of Angela's cries echoes in the place.

SOBS~

"W-Why...? Even though I stopped myself from blaming him for my Jiejie's death, I've never wished for him to die. After all, he is the only person my Jiejie took a liking to." said Angela in between her cries.

Viktor tries to calm her down. "Shss~ let calm down for a moment. None of it is your fault. The investigation says the duke took his own life."

King Argus frowned, even more, when he heard his eldest son's investigation results.

"Viktor. Duke Damian took his own life. He didn't die because of someone's scheme?" asked King Argus.

"No. He didn't die because of someone. Though he had killed numerous assassins last night before he took his own life, it is a fact that the duke had taken the poison and died in his sleep. With his strength, no one in this kingdom could contend with him. Only he himself could harm his own. 

There's a farewell letter and authorization letter which says he passed all his power and territories under the name of  Damian Araysh. A young man who was adopted by the duke a few days before his death. Obviously, he had already planned all this before he took his life." reported the crown prince.

King Argus had longed to receive the two letters. He glances at his old friend Alexis Castel asking him with eyes about his opinion.

Archmage Alexis spoke, "I found no traces of mana in the scene. Not even a single spell had been cast. This obviously points out that no one is with him inside his bedroom except his own self. Argus he... Damian Adrienne had indeed taken his own life with his own hands. He did it himself and nobody else."

"Sigh~ I knew he's been acting weird ever since Eirwen Nighy died. Even though I assigned him to protect Lord Night that day it wasn't his fault that those damn dark elves would suddenly ambush us and targeted the Saintesses Candidates!" said King Argus as his anger shows on his face.

Archmage Alexis spoke, "Among the assassins, there is one highly skilled killer, he must be the leader and his strength and speed could barely match the duke. Lord Night being surrounded on his own, made him panic, and wanted to run towards the duke for help.

Sadly the highly skilled assassin took the opportunity and took Lord Night's life in an instant. Before the duke could even save him, it was already too late. The assassin had already appeared behind Eirwen Night and stabbed his heart from behind."

The Crown Prince, Viktor Hart's expression had turned weird at the contents of his father and archmage uncle's story about that day. He, as someone who exchanges move more than once against the duke, knew how skilled this person is. He could definitely say that his father is weaker than Duke Damian. To him, no one in this kingdom is a stronger warrior than Duke Damian.

"Nothing could be done now. Prepare his funeral and afterward, I want to meet this Damian Araysh, Adrienne had chosen to take his place. Prevent the noble faction from making any fuss during the funeral. Throw them out if they dare!" said King Argus.
