Meanwhile, Alex was in his carriage, deeply meditating, trying to get himself used to not letting his Magic float around inadvertently like Shinatobe kept on telling him. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw the three women in silence, looking through the windows at the scenery of the Capital of Beliersia they had just entered.
He asked, a little puzzled, “What happened? Last time I looked, you three were about to go at each other’s throats.”
Anika shrugged without even looking at him. “We reached a mutual consensus. It is foolish of us to fight because of you. We will all live for a v

Wenammy spoke while pointing at the window, to change the subject so that she didn’t need to say anything about her previous life before becoming an Adventurer, “Is that the building where we are going? Why are there so many people on the street? Is this normal?” Alex looked through the window and frowned. “Not really. I think I recognise some faces. Merchants, most of them... some artisans that I already gave some work... a few lower Nobles that don’t have a seat in the Chamber of Lords... I don’t know, maybe they are waiting to see me? Or to complain? This will

Alex’s words came as a shock to the Lords, and Marquess Seth Perry forced a smile after the initial surprise. “Are you saying that a Mermaid, a High Fairy, and an Elfian are willing to become your spouse? I find it hard to believe.” Anika tilted her head and asked, “Why is that? You would prefer if any of us wanted to be at your side instead? As if I would ever want such an unsightly man near me! Perhaps Wenammy is more willing, or Pearl, but not me for sure!”

That was enough to stop the objections, but not the angry looks he was receiving. Alex sat and waited for the next point on the agenda. After the introduction of the King, Marquess Seth Perry stood up once again and spoke, “As for the changes in use on Earl Alex’s lands, I and a few Nobles want to object to the treatment he grants to the commoners that live there. His changes are an insult to our society and way of life. He was repeatedly asked to stop all the nonsense he was instilling in the minds of every commoner because what he was doing on his lands had ins

Pearl waited for the two servants to open the door, and she was the first to come out, stopping on the first step of the marble staircase to look around. The page that was at the entrance of the stable saw her, and he immediately rushed inside to tell the driver to come out. When Pearl was going down the staircase, Anika, Alex, and Wenammy appeared, and a lot of cheering was heard from the crowd on the sides of the staircase and the street, but none of them tried to come closer because of the gravity line that Pearl created the moment she stepped on the staircase, stopping them. Alex heard his name being shouted and made a slight smile, and gave
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 32 – Talking about the future
Anika, Wenammy, and Pearl noticed the sad look that Alex had, and Pearl asked, “You never talk about your parents. Are they dead?” “My mother died when I was three years old. My father... he retired to a faraway place after the events of the war with ‘The Galtian Khaganat’. He killed the Khaganat most powerful Mage Summoner and a bunch of her supporters, and he didn’t handle his regret very well. My father was always a man of faith, and having to kill so many took a huge toll on his soul. He abandoned his duties, his lands, and his title, and he did his best to teach me to take his place. I started to improve his lands and Earl Kayden’s lands five years ago, and little by little, I developed new methods to do things and I created all

While Alex was going to his lands with the three girls, another carriage was travelling in the opposite direction. Inside of it, Marquess Seth Perry was biting the fingernail of his right thumb while Baron Rowan Harvey was seated in front of him, nervously waiting. On his left, Earl Marley Barker, a long-time friend of Marquess Seth Perry, was fiddling with his fingers, thinking about what happened inside the Chamber of Lords. <
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 34 – Meeting Viscount Finley Henderson
As soon as Alex’s carriage left the main dusty road and approached the paved road that led to his estate, a group of fifteen riders approached, wearing uniforms in light grey and with a coat of arms with a cursive ‘A’ stitched on the left side, above the heart. The driver stopped the carriage, and one rider, an older man with a thin scar on his left cheek that went from his mouth to his ear, stood next to the window and made a slight bow with his head. “Welcome back, Earl Alex. Miss Olive sent a message early this morning that you would arrive by this hour. The maids were also warned, and lunch will wait for you and your guests in the Castle. Do you mind if we escort you there? Our patrol shift had just ended, and we were about to re

Alex had a puzzled look and was staring at the two that were still holding each other’s hands. Viscount Finley quickly explained, “I already knew Anika, because... well... I am still the partner of her mother... I lived with them for a few years in my youth, before the war.” “But... she called you father! I don’t understand...” Latest Chapter

After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the vicinities of the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Sakamo thought it was weird if she lived there, but probably her parents worked there. To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
