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
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 33 – Change of heart from desperation
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...”

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!”

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

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

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?”
