I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Duke Damian lightly glances at Lady Bela without expression on his face before finally ignoring her all for once. He instead looked closely at his teacup and looked at the liquid within. Then he moves his gaze to Eirwen Night who crosses his arms nonchalantly.

”Thereʼs something wrong with the tea?” asked Duke Damian.

Slightly yawning, Eirwen Night wearily spoke, ”You can pour down the tea and check it yourself. Why ask me? yawns~”

Spills the tea~

Damian Adrienne poured his cup on the table, spilling all the contents on it. Once everything was overturned, everyone who few small wiggling worms together with the tea. Seeing such a disgusting scene everyone bolt away. Bela Laurelʼs reactions are the greatest after all she was the only one who drank the whole cup of tea without leaving a drop.

”Urg!” Angela instantly covered her mouth while looking at the wriggling worm on the table.

She instantly felt her stomach churn and her face turned green. Bela Laurel runs away in the corner and starts puking. The sound of her throwing up echoes within the room. At this moment even the king and the archmageʼs faces were dark as charcoal.

PUKES~~~

While rolling his eyes in front of the king and the old archmage, ”You guys are focusing too much on us that you didnʼt realize that your tea was intentionally spoiled by some. That bug seems to be dangerous. If the little ones didnʼt warn me...”

Duke Damian, ”Except for the little girl beside you, not even a hint of intention is felt coming from you to inform us that there is something wrong with the tea, right?” he asked.

”Like how you have no interest in drinking your tea.” retorted Lord Night. ”Much less be interested in your internal affairs.”

Silence ascended in the area as these two cold-hearted pairs exchanged uncaring words for their surroundings. The Archmage looked at the worms and observed them closely. It didnʼt take a while for the old mage to recognize what kind of worm was found in their tea. 

”T-This is!!!” exclaimed Archmage Alexis.

Startled King Argus asked, ”Whatʼs wrong, Alexis?!”

”These are child gu. Gu is a parasite that is often used as a medium to control someone elseʼs body. It uses the mother gu to order its children. Anyone who had taken one can fall to the owner of the mother gu and follow its every command without question. The one who possesses the child gu would only listen and never disobey.” said Archmage Alexis while glancing at the ashen face Bela Laurel who is now trembling with an ashen face.

Thereʼs fear and disbelief within her pinkish eyes. They could even see Bela trembling as her body shook uncontrollably beyond her command. Then she saw Eirwen Nightʼs unconcerned demeanor. His whole aura emits coolness as if he had witnessed nothing is wrong.

”YOU!!?”

Lady Laurel wanted to scream at him, but after thinking about it on her own, she knew that the man had done nothing that caused her harm. Well~ except for not informing them ahead of time that there is something wrong with the tea. Her eyes rolled up and fainted due to anger, disgust, and remorse. Her scheming didnʼt end that easily as her fall was directed towards the young duke sitting beside her before.

Duke Damian didnʼt move to catch her nor spread his arms to shorten her drop-down motion. Instead, the Duke stood up unhurriedly as he saluted the king.

”Your Majesty. It is already too late. Iʼm sure that the saintess needs their rest.” said Damian Adrienne.

Lady Laurel fell on the couch in a sprawling manner. She looks undignified and stupid especially when the duke had to dodge her in such an indirect manner. Her plans were once again cut off, but this time by the man she adores. Bela could only pretend that she really lost consciousness and laid on the open couch like a drunk man.

King Hart and Archmage Alexis shook their heads helplessly. As people who live their lives on political grounds, Lady Laurelʼs schemes were too obvious for them to notice. Only the innocent and naive little girl like Angela was worried for Bela in the real sense. As for Eirwen Night, he acted like nothing could be seen happening in front of him.

The King gestures for the servants to bring away Lady Laurel first and have someone remove the child gu she had drank before. They couldnʼt allow a Saintess Candidate to be someone elseʼs marionette. 

”Someone! Get Lady Laurel to vomit out the tea she had drank and escort her back to her room,” ordered King Argus.
