rAs soon as the announcement for the first trial results were out, the crown prince's supporters had encircled around Viktor Hart and Lady Evans. They were all joyous with their chosen future king winning the first trial. Moreover, the Subjugation of a Wyvern is a royal merit. It shows the strength of the crown prince as a warrior. Plus, the chosen candidate for the position of the Saintess had shown her abilities quite well. Not only that since Lady Angela had been friendly and honest by nature, these old men and women like her a lot.
Congratulations your highness Viktor and Lady Evans thank you for your good work!
As expected to the chosen one! Your Highness.
You did good Prince Viktor! My Lady Evans.
The Crown Prince Viktor suddenly announced, "Hahaha~ Everything is thanks to Angie! She had given her best to support me. I am forever grateful to her."
"No. All the hard work was done by Vivi. I've only supported you well. I didn't do that much." says Angela while blushing as she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Viktor laughed when he saw the usual naughty and proud girl in that forest acting so humble at this moment. Unlike others who would use this time to act a bit, he knows that this is Angela's real personality. She would get embarrassed if someone had praised her to the moon.
Meanwhile at the side of the Third Prince. Lady Laurel is biting her thumbnail in frustration. She could accept how Viktor Hart and the little girl, Angela Evans were able to defeat the Wyvern.
"How did they do it!? Impossible! In my memories, the third prince almost died fighting that thing and the crown prince lost an arm when fighting with the Earth Dragon! But in the end, no one was able to subjugate any of the two!?" murmured Lady Laurel in her disbelief.
The third prince, Elliot Hart's eyes narrow dangerously when he overhears Bela Laurel's murmurings. The words 'In my memories' and the details inwardly startled this prince's heart. In his mind, the third prince had been feeling awkward with every Lady Laurel's request.
First is the thing with Eirwen Night's death. She had chosen a good opportunity to sell herself to the crowd securing her candidacy as the Saintess but unexpectedly Eirwen Night's popularity was too much and failed.
The second one is her plan to get the favor from Hero Luciel of Empire. What she planned that day was good as well unfortunately she failed because Eirwen Night interfered.
Then this latest one is this. Even before the announcement of which monster equates sky and land, Bela Laurel already knew that the sky would have the Wyvern and the land would be the Earth-Dragon. At first, the third prince thought that it was a coincidence but now he thinks otherwise.
Third Prince, Elliot Hart's thoughts, 'If her words had meaning then… She would deem herself more useful in the future.'
At this moment King Argus suddenly speaks, "Silence."
Once the throne room was quiet, the king had finally started talking once again. "Alexis," he calls for his friend to explain what the second trial entails.
"I will now tell you the content of the next trial," said Archmage Alexis.
"The trial is about Magic Knowledge. You will have to enter the Magic Tower in the Empire and the one who would reach the most floor wins. In this trial who is able to ask for help to climb the Magic Tower. You guys have one month before you can report to us the details.
By the way, you cannot lie about your own result. I would leave a few people to observe you guys for this whole month. The Magic Tower of the Empire is different from ours. It is made of unknown ruins and to reach the highest level one will need to under varying circumstances.
There is also an outcome of you not being able to come out or even dying inside the tower. Make your choice. The road to becoming the king is never easy." explained Archmage Alexis.
"Any questions?"
The third prince glanced at Angela and the archmage. "Lord Archmage, is asking for help in this trial possible?"
"No. During the trials bestowed by the king, my stance will be completely Neutral until the end," replied Archmage Alexis. "My dear Angie, you cannot ask for help with our magic tower for this event."
Angela answered, "I understand, Grandfather."
"Any more questions?" asked Archmage Alexis.
The Crown Prince, Viktor Hart raised his hand, "If… If we got the help of someone divine… Would it be considered cheating?" he asked.
This one question of Viktor stunned everyone. The being of Divinity means a God. Old rumors say that some Gods still exist in this mortal realm. Some even descended and some can be contacted by some means. But the way to call Gods had an equal exchange. It could be your life, your magic, or even the soul itself. It was never easy to ask for help from God.
Bela Laurel suddenly snorted and said, "If you are going to ask help from that man then you are wasting your time. He is only a newly born God, his knowledge about this world is too little."
She was talking about the secret of the Kingdom. Everyone from the peak authority knew that Eirwen Night had become a God and he had a sibling relationship with Angela Evans.
The Crown Prince, Viktor Hart responded, "Lady Laurel. You… Do not seem to believe the capabilities of our Guardian God."
"Of course! I do n—"
"Shut up, Bela Laurel," said Elliot Hart.
Bela Laurel whose words were suddenly cut off felt she was being wrong but she is under the magic contract with the third prince and had no other choice to shut her mouth.
King Argus was the one who answered the Crown Prince's question.
"You may ask help from the Gods but… The kingdom must not get involved with any exchange you will make with the Divinity. Once this condition is broken you will lose the right for the throne." says King Argus.
The Crown Prince and third prince accepted their next trials. As soon as they were dismissed, the pair bumped into each other on their way. Lady Laurel didn't hide her envy towards Lady Evans.
"Tell me. Did you meet Eirwen Night at the Nightmare Forest? Is that why you were able to defeat the Wyvern!?" said Bela Laurel.
Angela frowns for a bit and immediately hides behind her lover. She peeks from behind the crown prince and avoids Lady Laurel as she always did before. After all, Eirwen Night always wanted her not to be alone with this scheming woman.
"We didn't get help from Eirwen-ge. But… Our new weapons came from him. Eirwen-ge says it's a gift from his lovers to us. Brother Lou and Brother Addie gifted it to me and Vivi me. We only used it to defeat the Wyvern." says Angela. This honest and naive little girl couldn't lie and told Bela Laurel the truth.
Bela and Elliott frown when they've heard that Eirwen Night's lovers are both men and there's two of them. Though in this world same-sex relationships and polygamy are normal, otherworlder like Bela Laurel and Angela Evan who came from earth feels this relationship is weird.
Angela Evans didn't think much as long as her brother was happy. Moreover, based on their first meeting, Brother Lou and Brother Addie both love Eirwen-ge the most which is why she didn't think much about this relationship.
Bela Laurel murmured with disgust on her face, "What the hell!? He is gay!"
"Shut up. What your mouth! Same sex relationship is normal here!" rebuked Angela Evans
Meanwhile, Viktor thinks this is normal. After all, Eirwen Night is no longer mortal. As a God, no one is able to say something about his relationships. The Third Prince's thought wanders more to the new equipment they've received from Eirwen Night's lovers. There is no way God's lovers would be ordinary mortals. It can only be said that his lovers would be gods like him but he didn't expect Eirwen to get two lovers at the same time.
"Elder brother is lucky. To receive weapons from the Gods," says Elliot with a fake smile.
Viktor responded quite well and said, "It is all thanks to my Angie!" while glancing at Lady Laurel beside the third prince. As if saying, your choice is the wrong one, not mine. The third prince's lips twitched when he saw his elder brother's angelic smile.
"We shall take our leave. I hope my elder brother would not mind," says Elliot Hart.
Viktor Hart replies, "Be on your way, third brother."
Once the third prince had said his words he took his leave and didn't look back anymore. He had embarrassed himself enough for today. he also drags away Bela Laurel who keeps glaring at Lady Evans as if she wanted to eat her alive. It shows how much hate she has for the young lady.
As they see that the other pair is far from them, the fake smile on the crown prince's face fades as well. Angela held his hand to comfort him. She knew how much her boyfriend disliked fighting with his brothers.
"It's okay, Vivi. As long as you become the king, I'm sure Elliot would stop thinking about the throne. Moreover, I'm sure that those two are just using each other. There is no way Bela is enough for the third prince. Eirwen-ge always complains about how scheming she is. Don't you know how much she had partied when he heard of Eirwen-ge's death two years ago?" says Angela.
Viktor Hart felt his heart warmed when he held the slender yet soft hands holding his. He also knows how important the owner of this hand is in his life.
"Angie even if I don't become the king in the end. I promise that I will make sure you will be happy in our whole life," says Viktor.
Angela Evans smiled at him and said, "I know. I believe you, Vivi."

Meanwhile, in Eirwen Night's Dimensional space. Eirwen Night was the first one to open his eyes. The sunlight hits his eyes as soon as he opens them. But when he tries to move his body he couldn't do so as there are two arms tightly holding on his waist. Looking to his right and left, he saw that Lucien and Adrianne were still sleeping. He decided to lay down on the bed waiting for them to wake up. Instead, he passes his time talking to his system.
"Yue, are you there?"
[I'm here, host. Is there a problem?]
"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if these two did something to me while I'm sleeping?"
[They did nothing after taking a bath and sleeping beside the host while hugging you to sleep.]
"Is this for real?"
[I know the host doesn't believe it. As the Lord God had always been shameless. But Yue is telling the truth, they didn't do a thing. I've been waiting all night to record… I mean to watch over the host and wake the host up if something happens,]
"Are they still that man who removed all my clothes in my sleep saying that he suddenly felt his body heated in desire, did this and did that in my sleep in the last world?"
[Right~ I couldn't believe this too. By the way, Host…]
"What is it?"
[You do know you are talking to Yue with your own mouth and not in your mind right?]
"Obviously… Aren't I using my own mouth to speak?"
[There is something I forgot to inform the host.]
"For some reason, I don't feel that the next words would be good."
[Lord Adrienne and Lord Lucien are Gods. Gods don't really need to sleep. So…]
Even before Yue's words were completed Eirwen Night already started struggling but the arms on his waist just tightened even more preventing all his antics to escape.
[In short, the two of them heard everything the host had said! Good Luck, Host!]
"You fucking pit digger! Don't escape on your own! Bring me with you." screamed Eirwen as he saw the two men who had their eyes closed just now, are currently staring at him with an excited gaze. The two obviously heard every word of exchange he made with his system.
[Sorry~ Host. The system is currently offline.]
Lucien smirks as he slithers his hands inside Eirwen's pajamas. "Honey~ I heard you wanted us to do something bad~" On the other hand Adrienne already sat up and held up Eirwen's hands locking it up with one grip while his other hand was already unbuttoning the latter's pajamas.
"I didn't say anything like that!" says Eirwen. "Ah~ Watch where your hands are going!?" says Eirwen as he could only watch the twin slowly removing his clothes one at a time.
"Don't worry my dear we will prepare you well," says Adrienne.
The struggling Eirwen Night retorted, "Prepare well your ass! Two won't fit right away!"
[Host, do you wish to redeem something from the System Mall. Yue is ready to provide you anything~]
"Shut up, you little shit!"
