Alex turned bright red at the confession of the three women in front of the man he always considered his uncle, and who always mocked him for not choosing a bride. He glanced at him and saw the old Dog-kind doing his best not to burst into laughter. He was prevented from mocking Alex by the opening of the doors, and the group of Minstrels entered the room, followed by five women dressed in tiny fabrics that didn’t give much to the imagination. They all made a deep bow, and one Minstrel approached the table and spoke, “Good day, Earl Alex Brim! Good day as well, Miladies and Viscount! Please allow us to feast your ears with our music and your eyes with our dance!”

Chapter 36 – Visiting the Castle

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

They all followed the smiling Viscount, with Pearl taking the last gulp of her cup and rushing after the others. As they were walking along the main corridor, Alex asked, “Uncle, what happened to those Nobles that tried to come here? And what did they want?” “They said in the Chamber of Lords that they only wanted to recover their commoners, but many knew that they also wanted to spy. Two of those Nobles were condemned to high treason because they were the instigators, and they convinced the other three to join them against the laws of the Chamber by trying to invade the lands of another Noble without being approved by a majority vote. Those two lost all their lands, which are now being taken care of by the Chamber of Lords. Their fam

Chapter 36.1

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Pearl gulped while staring at the Magical Orb in her hands. A Wyvern, a flying nightmare with wings six metres wide, five times bigger than a person, no matter the species. A big mouth full of strong, sharp teeth, a tail that ends on a spike made of bone, and claws as big as short swords that could pierce armour or turn a City wall into rubble. Pearl couldn’t stop thinking about the absurd amount of Magic such Orb had, and Alex noticed her eagerness. “The way you are looking at it, it seems you like it. You want to have it, don’t you?” “Yeah… All this Magic would give me a tremendous

Chapter 37 – Assassination attempt

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Viscount Finley greeted them with a big smile. “Hello again. Had a nice walk, daughter of mine?” Anika held the arm of the old Dog-kind, making the guards on both sides of the stairs wonder why the Viscount said that. Alex got near him with Pearl and Wenammy, and the Viscount winked while walking. “Did you scare them enough, Alex? Or now it’s even worse because they saw all the money you have in there, and they are thinking about all the jewellery and clothes they could get from you?”

Chapter 38 – Fine delicacies

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Alex watched as the new soldiers followed one of the Captains, and he then returned to the top of the stairs that led to the front door with the Viscount, who spoke in a low voice when they were again near the girls, “I don’t know how he could infiltrate! I got a detailed file of the new soldiers, and they all seemed trustworthy! Maybe it’s like Shinatobe said, I am getting lazy with old age. In your father’s time, Shinatobe was in charge of following a recruit for one entire week before he could set foot in this Castle. She was correct; I need to make a few changes, and perhaps ask one of our Mage Summoners to send his Spirit after each recruit to see if everything in his file matches. She… will come after me to smack my head, I bet…”

Chapter 39 – Meeting King Otto Houghton

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Anika kept on looking around, admiring the way every soldier was perfectly aligned and in their pristine uniforms. A group of five Royal Guards entered through the main gate, mounted on white horses that had their manes and tails intricately braided. They stopped near the stairs and took a look around, immediately followed by the Royal Carriage with its gold-coloured engravings and decorations. Two of the stable boys approached the horses, and the page jumped to the floor, quickly opened the door of the carriage, and made a deep bow. The King exited first, and Alex and everyone else made a deep bow to him. <

Chapter 40 – The dense Princess

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Princess Ebell followed the King with her lady’s maid right at her side, because wherever the Princess went, her maid was always at arm’s reach. Viscount Finley stayed in the dining room, entertaining the Nobles and their wives, who looked puzzled at the King leaving, wondering what they were about to discuss that was so secret. Alex guided the group along the main corridor, and the guards stationed near a double door opened it as he approached, closing it as soon as everyone went through. Alex sat in a chair at a big round table with more than enough seats for them.

Chapter 41 – Scaring the Princess

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Shinatobe turned into a tiny ball of light again and disappeared by flying at high speed to Alex’s right ear. The Princess was about to explode and asked Alex, “Who was that? I never saw or heard of such a rude Spirit! If you can’t control your Spirit, maybe you shouldn’t have made a contract!” That was it for Sarutahiko Okami. With a quick throw, she pierced a dagger on the table, right between the Princess’s fingers, and shouted to the scared girl, “Enough! No one talks badly about my younger sister! She is the Spirit of the Wind Shinatobe, the leader of the Great Four that rule over the Magic and Spirits in this World! You will talk about her with the respect she deserves, or you will never talk again because my next dagger will go

Chapter 42 - New weapons

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

Pearl Pearson put the Orb over the table and explained, in a sad voice, “To get this from the heart of a Wyvern, two soldiers died. They had wives and daughters. Another soldier almost lost his arm. I used to look at a Magical Orb and think only about the money I could get from it or the amount of Magic I could use. Now, I look at this Orb and I think about the ones that died to stop the Monster that had it, and also about my friends that died because of a Wyvern some years ago. Alex gave this to me, and I am going to use its Magic in an emergency to honour the ones that died. He totally ruined for me the beauty and the value of this Orb…” Everyone stared at the Magical Orb, including the Princess and her lady’s maid, while the King s

Chapter 43 - Meeting Viscount Tom West

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire/krushandkill

The Princess went silent again, and Alex got up, leaving the room right after the King and going to the dining room to warn the Nobles together with Viscount Finley, Anika Wright, Pearl Pearson, and Wenammy, while Miss Olive went with the King and the others to the patio to grab their horses and the King’s carriage. While the King, the Princess, and the lady’s maid entered the carriage, Miss Olive mounted her horse and Ghar happily mounted Okami’s armoured boar that was also in the stable together with the horses, making the soldiers smile at the sight. They never saw anyone mount such a dangerous beast, and Ghar seemed strangely comfortable. As
