Eirwen Night was laughing when he remembered that situation when he first met his husband Ye Xiajie and An Liang in that world. He couldn't help but turn cold and indifferent remembering that disgusting scene when he also lost it. It was their first meeting but his husband at that time was cold-hearted towards him. Covered in blood and flesh of those bastard who tried to rape him, his legs broken and his body is weakened to the state of losing consciousness.
But this man didn't even glance at him not until his friend forced him to save him. The last thing that he could remember at that time were those pairs of eyes dyed by the shade of the night and full of countless stars and galaxies as if hooking him up to be seduced. This person is even more indifferent than him who is born with a special bloodline of coldness.
That was their first meeting. A typical indifference between two strangers who hate strangers.

Back in reality.
After recalling a few things from the past, Eirwen Night couldn't help but compare the Ye Xiajie in the present to the past which caused his short amusement. It was only when he got down from the carriage that he noticed Akim and Sian's existence. His lovers stood on his left and right respectively while Neige and Araysh stayed a few steps behind them as always.
Akim and Sian were both stunned while staring at him as this is the first time they had seen such a gorgeous lady? That's right because Eirwen is wearing a women's noble dress. Those who don't know him would think he is a female. Unfortunately, he is not one.
To Akim, his eyes were only full of admiration for beauty but in Sian's eyes, it wasn't pure admiration for the appearance alone. He was peeking through the soul of Eirwen Nighy itself. It was a bit blurred but he could see it. The appearance of the soul is completely different from the face of the vessel he is wearing.
"This... This is not your real body. Are you just borrowing it?" said Siam but his words caused ripples in the group.
Araysh was the first one to react, "What did you just say!?" he exclaimed.
[Host, be careful. This thing... He could see through the souls of those he peered into!]
Sian's Thoughts, 'His soul is completely golden. Even purer than the split souls of the two by his side. Moreover, what is this? This soul has lots of cracks within slowly spreading. How could he still be alive if he only has a half left of his soul core?'
When Sian notices someone's eyes on him he raises up his head to search for the source only to meet with Eirwen's argent eyes. On the top of his lips is his index finger gesturing his silence. He subconsciously nods his head in agreement. After that short exchange, Eirwen moves away from his eyes. Viktor and Angela step in and speak to the keepers of the temple.
Viktor spoke, "It's been a while Senior Akim, Senior Sian. My princess and I come here for the meeting with the demons tomorrow."
"Um. We had prepared everything for you but..." said Akim but when he paused his words he sneaked a peek at Eirwen and his group of five. According to his friend Sian, these people were special.
Lucien suddenly spoke out, "There is nothing to worry about. We only need two rooms. One is for Araysh and Neige while the other is for us three. Just change one of the beds in the room with a king-size one."
"Please change the order with a double bed," said Araysh.
"King Size? Double bed?" uttered Akim with confusion.
Angela laughs at her senior funny reaction.
"Hahaha~ Senior~ brothers are together," said Angela.
Viktor said, "Angie~ don't tease the senior."
"But it's funny~" replies Angela.
The grand knight is standing beside them still bewildered.
"So which is it? Is it a joke or truth?" asked Akim.
This time almost everyone laughs at this innocent yet fierce-looking lion beastman. Sian could only take over as his friend seems to be confused now. He bows his head in front of Eirwen and his group respectfully and even falls on one knee.
Sian said, "Sian will prepare everything. Since the rooms aren't arranged yet. Please wait at the garden for a bit."
"Garden! Jiejie let's have a picnic!" said Angela as she clings to her brother's arms and pulls him over. Viktor shook his head helplessly as he exchanged an understanding look with Lucien and Adrienne. Since their lovers had already gone ahead the three of them could only follow after them.
Adrienne spoke, "Araysh I will leave the rest to you here." he said before walking away without giving the other any second glance. This God of Darkness had always been calm yet cold to everyone else except Eirwen.
"Lord Lucien, how much should be said?" asked Araysh as Adrienne had already taken his leave to follow his wife.
"Tsk! leaving me here~" murmured Lucien when he heard Araysh's question, "Just say as much as you could. That little elf had already realized who we are anyway. Neige, you can follow Araysh. Addie and I will be enough to serve my honey~"
"As you command, Lord Lucien." Araysh and Neige respond when they've lifted their heads Lucien is no longer as if he disappeared in thin air.
As usual, the not-so-smart lion beastman grand knight Akim looks at the events full of confusion. He can only ask his friend about it later as there are still guests before them.
Araysh spoke, "A late introduction, I am Araysh and this is my lover, Neige."
"Greetings," spoke Neige monotonously.
Akim was startled to hear the name Neige. After all, that is a famous yet notorious name that most people in the Aerd know. It had the special meaning of snow which is said to be the name of the rumored cold-hearted Ice Spirit King who lives in Ivern.
"Neige? Why does it feel that I've heard it somewhere? Moreover the name Araysh, I'm sure I've read it somewhere as well." murmured Akim while rubbing his chin as he poise of thinking.
Sian answered his confusion, "The former God of the Fallens and the Ice Spirit King's names."
"F-Fallen God... Ice... Ice S-Spirit K-King!?" Akim stuttered as he looked at the two men in front of him with shock on his lion face.
"Such a former title that Arasyh had long forgotten. Right now my only job is to serve Lord Adrienne and Lord Lucien," said Araysh.
Neige also explained his side, "I may be the current Ice Spirit King but this King's life had already been given away to Lord Eirwen. Neige is the aide of Lord Eirwen, nothing more and nothing less."
The grand knight's face distorted more as he clung to his friend's back and whispered, "S-Sian... i-isn't the God of Light name is Lucien, and the God of Darkness name is Adrienne. Moreover, to make a demigod like the Ice Spirit King his aide, what kind of person is this Eirwen Night?" asked Akim.
"A god. The God of Winter and ruler of Ivern" answered Sian to his friend.
Akim started trembling, "T-T-Then... those t-three just now... T-They... They are Gods!?" he suddenly shouted.
Sian immediately covered his friend's loudmouth.
"Shut up! Be respectful!" said Sian, Akim could only nod his head in agreement.
Araysh and Neige acted as if they never heard their conversation but still waited for them to finish talking to each other.
"Done talking?" asked Araysh.
Sian instantly returned to his respectful state as he spoke with Araysh and Neige.
"Yes my lord."
"Good. Show us the room of the Lords. We need to renovate it to their liking." said Araysh.
"Yes my lord. This Sian and my friend, Akim will show the way towards it."
Neige spoke, "Let's go."
With Sian allowing Araysh and Neige to take the lead, he and Akim took a lower stance as they escorted them to the rooms. Since the largest room in the temple is the designated room for the Saintess, this room will be given to the three great lords instead as their standing is even higher than both Viktor and Angela combined. Of course, the two understood the reason and didn't mind giving their room to Eirwen and his lovers.

At the rose garden on the south side of the temple's territory.
Eirwen, prepared as always, took out a huge picnic mat from his space which Adrienne, Lucien, and Viktor laid together on the ground with the hidden pixies who came with them. Angela's snowball helped as well.
Once the mat was spread on the grass field, Eirwen waved his hand, and tons of food appeared on the top of the mat with some drinks and utensils for everyone. Everyone took their seats and enjoyed the sunlight under a huge tree's shade. Lucien and Adrienne would of course occupy the space on each side of Eirwen. Viktor and Angela sat together while Snowball was sunbathing not far from them. Adasha, who was afraid of the three lords, had accompanied the ice spirit wolf with his sunbathing.
Only the gluttonous pixies were unafraid of their lords as they were overwhelmed with the mountain of delicious food in front of them. Now they look like hamsters stocking food for winter with both of their cheeks bulging as they eat food that is larger than them. Some shameless ones even sat on the plate itself securing their own plate for eating.
Viktor watches the pixies gorge on some sweets which are larger than they are like hungry wolves.
"Hm,~ thought I've seen this before but... pixies could really eat a lot huh." said the crown prince.
Angela chuckled and said, "Hahaha~ that's not it, Vivi. Look at them properly among the little ones the most gluttonous among them were ice pixies. This is because they accompanied Jiejie on his food trips and could already eat thrice the normal pixies."
"Thanks to that this Lord had to cook food for a hundred people worth because of these gluttons~," said Lucien.
Adrienne also commented, "Thankfully we have enough money to buy ingredients in bulk, else we could only throw them back to Ivern to let them scourge their own food."
"That's right. One big foodie is enough. Ah~ honey~ I'll feed you, open your mouth~" said Lucien who suddenly got his collar grabbed by Eirwen.
"Who the hell are you calling glutton?" said Eirwen.
[H-Host, Lord Lucien calls you foodie, not glutton ba~]
Lucien was smirking at his lover and stole a kiss, Smooch! "Honey~ I would still love you even if you are a glutton~"
"Hoh~" Then Eirwen suddenly jumped on one of his lovers and tickled him nonstop as punishment.
The sound of Lucien's endless laughter can be heard all over.
HAHAHAHAHA~
"Haha~ E-Enough... I'm... hahaha~ wrong... honey~ hahaha~" said Lucien in between his laughs. "A-Addie~ hahaha... S-Save me...~"
Adrienne on the other hand ignores his suffering twin and still continues to feed his wife without care for his brother's suffering.
"Wife, try this pudding. I've made it for you," said Adrienne who is spoon-feeding his lover.
Eirwen only needs to open his mouth and food would be delivered in his mouth.
"Hm! This one is delicious~" He looked at his other lover with glowing eyes and finally stopped tickling Lucien. "I want more. Ah~~" said Eirwen as he stares at Adrienne.
Lucien who could finally take a breath properly murmured, "I... I also died."
[Don't worry Lord Lucien you would at most suffocate, you won't die right away~]
"I know," he replied to Yue in his mind as there are outsiders with them. Then he saw his brother feeding their lover ignore him. "Ah~ don't ignore me~" complains Lucien. In the end, Eirwen feeds Lucien and Adrienne feeds Eirwen. No one feeds Adrienne as the two knew that he isn't fond of sweet thing and like bitter drinks instead.
The three were showing their affections openly without care. Viktor and Angela, this young couple who is about to get married, stare at the three who were giving away endless dog food enough to feed a whole empire.
Angela spoke, "That's too sweet ba~"
"Un~ too sickeningly sweet," said Viktor.
The atmosphere in the garden is joyous and serene like a family enjoying their afternoon together only for someone to abruptly destroy such a peaceful scene. Lady Laurel came over with her entourage of maids. As soon as she heard that Angela and Viktor had arrived at the temple, she immediately changed his clothes to come over to meet them. The clothes she is wearing are cut too low which almost couldn't hide her sultry figure and her huge racks. She is obviously here trying to seduce the crown prince.
Lady Laurel spoke, "My~ my dear crown prince. You are finally here~"
