Back at the house where Alex and his hero party resided, his friends were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company after a long day of training. Germio and Rasheed did arm wrestle while Salieri became the referee.“Tres, dos, uno! Germio, you lose!” Salieri shouted and grabbed Rasheed’s arm, then announced it loud and proud, “and the winner is Rasheed!”“Dang it! I have to pay for his food for the next week,” Germio mumbled as Rashed laughed in joy.The bard then noticed that Stella was sitting by herself, unlike Pandora that made conversation with Vincent. Salieri then called and teased her, “ey, Stella? Why are you quiet? Do you miss Alex?”Hearing Alex’s name, the elf girl could feel her cheeks getting warmer, but she was too stubborn to admit it. She glared at Salieri and replied coldly, “cut it off, Salieri.”Germio’s bitterness after losing the arm wrestle faded when he noticed that Salieri was poking fun at the elf. He jumped int
At the castle, Remina and Alex almost finished the delicious dinner. The princess patted her mouth with a napkin after finishing her meal. She gazed at the hero who was still enjoying the meal and smiled.“Thank you for coming, Alex,” Remina politely said.“I should be the one who says that, Princess.” Alex bowed her head after devouring the last chunk of the meal, then continued to say, “it’s an honor to spend a night with you, but I’m afraid I have to leave now. My friends would find me if I came late.”Remina pouted and looked sad. She refused to believe that her time with Alex should end now. The princess shook her head after thinking of a way to stall the time. “Why don't you stay for a while and accompany me to stroll for a while in the garden nearby? My royal physician says that it's not good to rest directly after eating since the food needs to be digested.”Hearing what Remina just said, Alex's laughter bursted. The way this lady talked about her physical appearance never cha
Alex couldn’t lie to himself, admitting that he indeed missed his lover. Even though this Remina didn’t have the same memories like him, Alex’s heart still belongs to her.He then half-whispered to Remina, “let’s go to the gazebo, shall we?”Alex helped Remina to get into the gazebo that looked over to the pond. He then reached into his pocket and found a piece of bread inside. The hero then offered, “I happen to have some bread in my pocket. Do you want to feed the fish?”Remina nodded and received some breadcrumbs that Alex gave. She then spreaded the crumbs to the water, causing tens of koi in the pond to swarm and took every crumb with nothing left. She giggled then looked at Alex. “Careful, they might splash.”The man then gave some more of the bread to Remina. A slight graze was made when he handed the bread piece to the princess and Alex got butterflies inside his stomach. The memory of his time with Remina as a couple in the past life stil
Alex held back his laughter hearing King Romeus’ response. He remembered deeply how in his previous life the king asked him multiple times, even begging Alex to marry his daughter, which happens to be Remina.At that time, Alex was actually enamored with Helene, but since she couldn’t get married due to her status as a priest at the shrine, Alex decided to let her go and start a new life with Remina.“I’m not letting my daughter marry someone who’s far from the royalty line,” King Romeus continued speaking as his old yet sharp eyes pierced through Alex. “She should marry a king, or prince from another kingdom and unite this world.”“What kingdom?” Alex nonchalantly responded, “the only kingdom left on this world is only Maleo. Your Majesty, if I were you I would think twice to marry my daughter off to a prince or king from one barren and miserable kingdom. Not to mention Maleo is filled with crooks and bandits, do you want to harm your own daughter?”<
After all those thing that happened, Alex decided to kick back and relax a bit. Alex suggested to his Hero Party to go for a picnic. They agreed to meet at the river where a waterfall was formed.Everyone was already there when Alex arrived. He noticed someone missing."Where's Pandora?" He asked everyone as they all greeted Alex."She is coming later," answered Salieri as he was munching on his sandwich."Well, let' see what we have here." Said Alex as he took out one of the sandwiches that had chocolate in it. Everyone began eating, talking and laughing, enjoying themselves.At the other side of the river, an old woman and little boy were sitting together. She was humming something while he was playing his toys in front of him.Alex sat next to Helene as he placed a sandwich before her."Thanks," said Helene before taking a bite on her sandwich, smiling at him and passing a few crumbs on her clothes."You're welcome," he smiled in return.Suddenly they saw a man walk towards them f
“So all the suspicions lead to those rotten aristocrats, huh?” concluded Alex, his eyes gleamed with light."Aye, so whit are we waitin' fer? Let's raid their residence afore they ha' the chance tae flee or tamper wi' evidence! We cannae be lettin' 'em slip through our fingers like sand in an hourglass, nae siree. We'll tak' 'em by surprise an' make 'em rue the day they crossed us!" urged Gremio, showing for the umpteenth time that he was more brawn than brains.Alex looked at the dwarf with an understanding smile. He could feel his little friend’s sentiments and feelings, enraged for his sake. But it would take more than guts to solve this matter.“Sir Gremio, as much as I would like to storm their place to finish this issue, but I believe that would be too abrupt,” denied Helene as politely as she could, as expected as the holy maiden of the continent. “No matter how strong our suspicion is, I’m afraid that our evidences are merely not enough.”The flaming blaze that consumed Gremio
Vincent’s whisper was barely audible, but Helene, being understanding as she was, could sense his frustration.“Please pardon them, Sir Vincent. They couldn’t express their enthusiasm very well, but I assure you that they have nothing but good intention towards you,” cheered Helene, attempting to gain Vincent’s trust and cooperation. The technician just grunted while pointing his swollen head, a solid evidence that contradicted Helene’s defense.“Uh, that was our tough form of love, teehee!” Helene laughed awkwardly.Alex felt this nonsensical turmoil needed to be stopped, so he decided to jump in.“Vince, just like what Pandora said. To put it simply, I need the Vint mirrors upgraded,” stated Alex. “Now, don’t get me wrong, I am helplessly in love with the mirrors, but I can see there are still rooms for improvements.”“Maybe you will understand it if I lay my plan here. I am going to use your upgraded mirror to collect the evidence from those blue-blooded bastards. You know what peo
After his stupid intro, Alex decided to step into the game and get into the business.“So, Your Majesty, in this episode, I will take you to an undercover interview. What kind of undercover interview? Stay tuned to find out!” said Alex. “Vince, make sure you guys are on ‘mute,’ otherwise our disguise will be busted before we know it!”Wordlessly, Vincent tapped an icon on the upper corner of the screen before he gave Alex a thumb up, a sign that he was done with the request. This way, only Alex’s voice would be heard, meanwhile no voice would come through from the Throne Room.“Great! Now I will put this iVint Plus inside my front pocket, just like this. There! Now you can see from my point of view!” continued Alex. “Let’s start!”Alex walked confidently to the doorstep and knocked on the door. Not long afterwards, a groggy, half-asleep youth came answering while rubbing his eyes. It was Hektor himself, who seemed just woken up by the early visit.“Ugh, who are you looking for? Everyb
