[BOOK 2] I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot (BL)

Chapter 223 - 7.22 Second Violet Star - Reporting To The King.

The three days of vacation the candidates have had finally ended. Today they would need to start attending classes as scheduled.

The bright sun had just risen which signifies a new day. Everyone's daily life continues the moment they wake up. The commoner makes preparations for their livelihood. Some were making sure that everything in their store is all in order. The guards whose task is to do morning patrol were all geared up and started making their rounds.

The people in the castle were busy as always. King Argus called Duke Damian for the usual report for a morning meeting. Only Archmage Alexis was within and the rest of the nobles were already dismissed the moment they finished their reports.

At the throne room, King Argus sat at the center while his people stood by the side.

King Argus spoke, "Duke Damian, you say that you have something important to report. Go ahead."

"Yes, your majesty. Yesterday, at the back alleys, we were able to catch the rats that escaped from the Slave Trading Association. They got information about their hideout in the kingdom. I would round out my knights to capture them all in one sweep." reported Duke Damian.

"I see... According to the knights guarding the gates last night, they've said that they've seen you escorting Lord Night. Did you meet Lord Night outside the castle, Duke Damian?" asked the king with a mischievous smile.

The information he heard from his people says that Duke Damian had carried Eirwen Night like a princess back to the castle last night. He wasn't really interested in why Eirwen Night was outside the castle as the people tasked to protect the latter secretly had already informed him ahead of time that Eirwen had left the castle to visit some cafes in the town.

According to his spies, Eirwen Night had exchanged some goods from his own world in exchange for money and clothing. Though as the king he should be providing these kinds of things naturally for them otherworlders, who would expect that one of them would leave the castle secretly just to eat cakes. Things had always been interesting when Eirwen Night was involved.

Duke Damian remained calm and expressionless at King Argus teasing. He gave him a reply naturally as usual.

"Answering your majesty's question. I met Eirwen Night at the back alley. Some children had stolen his coin pouch and had no choice but to chase the thieves."

The king was a bit startled by this response. Though he heard that Eirwen Night and Duke Damian had met at the town, the details of the meeting are vague, and though they've only bumped into each other in the town. Who would have expected that these two meet at the back alleys where the most notorious people reside.

"What happened? Didn't you just tell me that you've caught the slave traders in the back alley?! Lord Night had also gone in there. Did he get involved in your task? As a hostage or something?" asked King Argus.

Archmage Alexis spoke, "Please calm down your majesty."

"The children who had stolen his coin pouch were taken as hostages but Eirwen Night wasn't around when that happened," said Duke Damian.

The king and the archmage had sighed in relief when they heard that but before they could even complete their words, Duke Damian had said something that had rendered them speechless.

"Is that so? Then that is..."

Duke Damian, "Eirwen Night jumped off from a house roof and stepped on the face of the slave trader to save the child who was taken as a hostage. We've only caught the last slave trader thanks to his actions."
