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

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?”

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…”

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. <
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 40 – The dense Princess
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.
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 41 – Scaring the Princess
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
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 42 - New weapons
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

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

They all got up and went out of the dining room, and while the Viscount, his wife, and his daughters went to the stairs that led to the upper level, Anika asked, “Can we go see your room first? I am rather curious to see if it’s as empty as the Viscount said.” Pearl made a slight frown. “Unless he invites one of us to a little foreplay on his bed, I don’t see the point. I would rather look at the room with Magical Orbs, and I bet you would like to play again with gold coins.” Anika curled up her right eyebrow. “I wouldn’t say no to a crate full of gold coins to dig my hands in…”

Alex Brim was already thirty-five, and for the last two years, he had been living permanently in Azurath because his forever-young look was making people suspicious of him on Earth. So, without informing anyone, he purchased two one-way tickets to Nepal for himself and Hangaku Mae, leaving on his kitchen counter a single note stating that they were going to live in a secluded monastery deep in the mountains for their retirement, leaving behind his stressful work at the Earthquake Institute and as a part-time teacher at Tokyo Metropolitan Nishi High School.

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?”
