I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 262: 7.60 Second Violet Star - The Alliance II

Cloud Empire.

Alliance Meeting.

After the parchment sent by the Demon King had reached the mortal lands, all leaders of the races in the light faction had gathered in the meeting. Learning that the Demon King demands the person called Eirwen Night, everyone had a debate about what they should do about that human the demon race wanted. But except for the chosen few, no one else knew about Eirwen Nightʼs identity. Among everyone in the alliance, only a few among the human race knew who he was. Unfortunately, telling others about the identity of a God is taboo in the mortal plane.

So when the beast king asked who Eirwen Night was, no one from the human race gave him a straight answer.

Crown Princess Angela Evans, ”Eirwen-ge is like me! A summoned person from another world!? You are indeed planning to surrender my brother then I, Angela Evans, would pull out from the alliance!” declared the young lady who is now called the Saintess.

The thoughts of the others in the room, ʼEirwen Night is an Otherworlder!?ʼ

Everyone in the room was rendered speechless by what the young Saintess had declared. Losing the support of the Saintess in the war against the Demons is deadly. Not only the casualties would inflate, there is no way the new Hero Viktor wouldnʼt leave with his future wife leaving the battlefield like that. As theyʼve expected Viktor opens his mouth.

Viktor Hart said, ”If my crown princess leaves the alliance, I and my kingdom would as well.”

Silence! 

The other races thought that things are a bit going wary at this moment. Though the new hero and the saintess have their own standing in this alliance, their position is still second to the Regent of the Cloud Empire.

The Mermaid King asked, ”What about your standing, Human King?”

”Before this regent gave his answer, I wanted to know what the rest of the king thought first. Those who agree to surrender Eirwen Night to the demon please show your hand,” said Raine.

Among the kings around the table, three of them had raised their hands.

The elven race, the mermaid race, and the dwarven race all agree to surrender Eirwen Night to the demon race to buy some time. Unexpectedly, the beastman king didnʼt agree which startled almost everyone inside the room.

The dwarf king spoke, ”Yo~ this is surprising. Old beast is a decision to save our races. Are you willing to put all beastman in danger just for one person?”

”A sacrifice of one person is better than everyone else!” said the Elven King.

”Shut up! This old crook! The Saintess had said that this Eirwen Night is like her. A young person who had no other choice but to be pulled into our world with even their permission. We had exploited their kindness once when they were summoned here. Now you wanted to surrender him to the demons for such a reason! Do any of you know what shame is!?” retorted the Beastman king.

The Hero of the Cloud Empire, Luciel spoke, ”Old Man you are quite likable~”

”Hahaha~ I knew it! You guys are not willing to surrender Eirwen Night in the first place.” said the beastman king.

Luciel smirked and said, ”Of course! He lives in our empire with his family.”

Hearing this the mermaid king and the elven king realized that the human race knew why the demon king wanted to surrender the human named Eirwen Night.

With a deep frown on his face, the Elven King questioned, ”Since that person is without then you should know the reason why the demon race wanted this person named Eirwen Night?”

”I do think we have the right to know about this.” said the mermaid king.

The dwarf king had spoken as well. ”This is a bit surprising. It seems that Eirwen Night is not an ordinary one ba~.”

Everyone was looking at the human race representatives with curious gazes. They were all waiting for the regent to speak but for some reason, the latter had no intention of talking about it.

It was Hero Luciel who gave a vague reply, ”If someone like us could tell you who he is then... We would have told you already in the first place. Itʼs just that... Even if you wanted to surrender him, do you have that much strength to move him?”

After hearing the words Hero Luciel had spoken, almost everyone inside the conference room had a distorted expression. There are hints of confusion, understanding, and incredulity.

It was the emotional Angela who isnʼt restricted by any laws or taboo of this world to speak out.

”Why are you going to surrender Eirwen-ge, didnʼt he help us survive the catastrophe once already? He almost broke heavenʼs laws thankfully the heavenly wills didnʼt take his action as a biased one,” says Angela Evans. 

The beastman confusedly repeated some words the young princess had spoken, ”Catastrophe? Heavenʼs Laws? Heavenly wills? Bias? Little crown princess of Kingdom Hart what are you talking about?”

This time even the crown prince of Kingdom Hart could no longer hide his gloomy expression when the rest of the alliance members were talking about surrendering Eirwen Night to the demon race. Did they want to give away a God to those demonic creatures? They must have lost their minds.

”You are only able to stand in this room because of Lord Eirwenʼs help. Did you really think you would still be alive if that miracle didnʼt occur in the whole land of Aerd?” said Viktor Hart.

Left bewildered, the Mermaid King asked, ”Miracle? Are you talking about the snow which cures anything that had fallen during the great earthquake? What thatʼs got to do with Eirwen Night?”

Those who were smart enough realized the hidden meaning of the crown prince and crown princess words. Even the intelligent Elven King found their words too heavy to be retold. But he showed a stunned yet understanding expression on his face when he looked at the Regent looking for a sign of verification from the other. Raine just gave the king of elf a light nod.

”I... I... I take back everything. All the words I had spoken just now especially about surrendering Lord Night! I withdraw all my words. I apologize for my rudeness... I apologize for my crude mouth!” exclaimed the Elven King as if begging someone to forgive him.

Everyone was startled by the unexpected reaction of this arrogant Elven King. Just now he was only pushing the idea of giving away Eirwen Night to the demon race just so they could buy some time and prepare for a greater war in the distant future. Saying that sacrificing a lone Eirwen Night for the safety of everyone else is a smart choice. But now not only had he lost blood on his face turning ashen, but his expressions also werenʼt right as well. He is clearly frightened but only a few understand why the Elven King is acting like that.

The Mermaid King asked the Elven King, ”What happened to you? You donʼt look good, are you okay?”

”I... am fine.” replies the Elven King.

Seeing this the regent had already made up his mind to end the meeting, ”With the Elven King, the Beastman King and I side with the option of not surrendering Lord Night to the demons and only the Mermaid King and the Dwarven King against, talking of the majority the decision for this problem is the former. We would not send Lord Night to them.

With this, I would personally lead a troop to meet the representative from the demons and declare our decision. Hero Viktor and Saintess Angela you are both coming with me.” says the regent of Cloud Empire, Raine.

”We understand!” answered Viktor Hart.

The Hero of Cloud Empire, Luciel had also spoken, ”Donʼt worry. I will be going as well.”

”With this, the Alliance meeting for today is adjourned. Everyone may take their leave now,” said Raine.

Now that the meeting had ended most of the kings left the room and returned to their homes. Inside the room, only the human side was left behind, and unexpectedly the proud and arrogant Elven King didnʼt leave right away.

Angela didnʼt notice that and spoke to Raine without hiding anything, ”Big Brother Raine, I and Vivi want to visit Eirwen-ge. Can we?”

”Please donʼt worry. This Viktor didnʼt forget to send them a notice before coming over today. A message was sent to us saying we could come over today,” says Viktor.

”Since you already received permission then, we will send you over. Did Lord Araysh or Lord Neige say anything?” asked Raine.

Viktor responded, ”They say they would wait for us at the shore.”

”Thatʼs good then. Weʼll escort you both on the way and at the same time send our greetings to the other Lords,” says Luciel with a smile. ”I wonder if Iʼll be able to see Lord Lucien again.”

”You want to meet the Lord again and what? Bother him to train you again! You really have a thick face, Luc.” reprimanded Raine.

Luciel retorted but he only dared to whisper it as he was afraid that this elder brother of his would beat him up. ”Itʼs not like brother is any different. You talk to Lord Adrienne about some business regarding the mortal realm. They arenʼt supposed to get involved in it.”

”What do you know? Iʼm only asking for another opinion as yours is completely useless!” says Raine. 

Cough!

A light sound of coughing startled the four who were talking about the Gods hiding in the Empire. They had thought that everyone had already left but didnʼt expect that someone else had remained inside the conference room. Moreover, the other races never get along with the human race, if not because of the war against the demon and fallen races, the other light faction race would never get involved with the human race.

Raineʼs expression turned serious when he saw that the Elven King was still here and he had most likely heard their conversation.

”You are still here, Elven King,” says Raine.

But the king of Elf king didnʼt reply to his words and instead, his eyes wandered to where the Saintess was. Spirits are mostly invisible to the others but high elves are different. After being born with nature, they are much more sensitive towards the spirit race. In short, they could sense them and some special elves have the ability to see. Right now, this elven king is not really staring at Angela but at the hovering pixies around the Saintess and Crown Prince Viktor.

The Elven Kingʼs thoughts, ʼI havenʼt noticed it before as I choose to ignore them but... now that Iʼve closely looked at them... the spirit race is close to intimate with them. Especially towards the Saintess. Water, Ice, Dark, and Light pixies!!? There is even something even stronger protecting them.

But this is impossible, the blessings from the Gods had already disappeared. Like the Demon King had mentioned the Gods in the Divine realm except for the former God of Wind who became the sovereign, the rest of the Gods had supposed to disappear!?ʼ

Viktor who felt that the Elf Kingʼs eyes werenʼt right made him vigilant and immediately hid his lover behind him, his eyes were serious as he exchanged gaze with the Elven King.

”What is wrong with you?” asked Luciel as he stood up to block the Elf Kingʼs sight to the young couple.

The Regent spoke, ”If you make a move on these two then... we will need to have a serious conversation about the Alliance.”

Feeling the tension building up inside the room, the elven king could only avert his eyes from the young couple and instead met the Regent.

”It seems that the Human Race had solid backing no wonder you proclaimed to lead the Alliance against the war with the demons. I only wanted to ask. Why is it that when everyone else has lost their blessings from the other Gods, the human race still has a blessing that should have disappeared? And how were you able to convince a Godly being to live in your land?” asked the Elf King.

The Regent smiled at him and replied, ”If you are that curious then... why donʼt you meet them yourself?”

With this, it was decided that the Elven King will be accompanying them when they come over to meet the hidden figures that support the human race.
