2024-10-29 19:42:56In a small, dirty alley of Blackwood City, within one of the neatly arranged old wooden houses.
“Darling, breakfast is ready.” Alex happily prepared breakfast for his wife.
“It is your favourite bacon. I woke up early to prepare it. Let's enjoy it together before heading to work."
Her wife refused to respond from their bedroom.
Alex placed the delicious-smelling bacon on the table and found her sitting on the edge of the bed. She was still in her pajamas, looking sullen.
“Are you okay, Honey?”
"No! I'm not okay, Alexander," she yelled angrily. "I want a divorce!"
"What?" Alex exclaimed in disbelief. "You're joking, right? Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary."
He walked to her with shock in his face.
"Don’t come near me!" she screamed, filled with rage and disgust, hastily moved away, treating Alex like a disgusting creature.
"Darling?" Alex felt hurt.
"Stop calling me Darling. I hate it! My decision won't change. Don't you dare try to sweet-talk me!"
He retreated, slumping defeatedly into a kitchen chair, looking at her. “Why? I thought our life was perfect. I really love you, and you love me. We are happy!”
"That's exactly where you're wrong!” Merly screamed at the top of her lungs in rage. “You never try to understand me!”
Merly stormed to the cupboard hastily, snatched a handbag. "This handbag! You claimed it was bought with all your savings! It's so cheap, and I’m mortified to be seen with it!"
She threw it at Alex’s face with hatred.
Alex purchased it with three months' worth of his salary, avoiding spending anything for himself, all for the sake of his wife.
"And your second-hand motorcycle! I feel ashamed every time we go out, while everyone else has cars!"
"This ugly house, our month-to-month rented shack," she sadly sobbed. "With all the wall-leaking neighbors' fucking sounds!"
"I want a home, Alex! A place for me. But with your poor earnings, that will never happen."
Alex sat dejectedly, his heart aching.
"Merly, I'm already working two jobs, day at the construction site, night as a security guard. I can't take on more work. I have given you my everything."
Merly eyes pierced Alex with disdain and cruelty. “That’s the fucking issue, Alex. You're poor, while others swim in wealth!"
"Why can't you be rich like them? Why do you have to drag me into this life of poverty with you? You're a monster tormenting me! I want to be Rich!!!"
"Merly Luxenberg, everyone wants to be rich, but each person's fate is different," Alex felt the pain; all he did was love, yet now he is branded a tormenting wife monster.
"Let's not compare our lives to others; let's just live happily with what we have."
"I've had enough of you and your fucking philosophy of living happily in poverty," she retorted, standing up in defiance as she changed her clothes in rage.
"I've endured your delusions, tolerated this poor life without complaint. I'm exhausted and disappointed, wishing I never loved you! I want all of this to stop. I want my life back!"
Alex sighed heavily. He was the Supreme Commander of the Archelion Empire Military, a rank just below the emperor.
As the first in line to the throne, he adhered to the Archelion Royal family tradition, where a lion's cub must prove his worth in the wilderness before claiming his empire.
Incognito, he must survive independently without revealing his true identity or accessing his inheritance while living among the poor citizens.
If he marries during his incognito period and his spouse endures a year of frugality with him, he can then reveal his true identity to her and anyone else.
Their first anniversary was sadly just a few hours before midnight.
Merly stood at the door, her attire flawless, her eyes blazing with fury. "Let’s go."
"Where?" Alex startled.
“To the government agency, to file for our divorce,” she commanded harshly. “Now!”
Merly’s seriousness cuts through Alex like a blade.
Alex leaped up in panic, pulling a warped gift from the drawer.
“Listen, Merly. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. This is my gift. It's my everything. I beg you, just give a few more hours before midnight. You won’t regret it, I promise you.”
“Shut up!” She snatched the gift. “Listen, you a piece of trash. After a year, I’ve seen enough to know you’re nothing. And this gift... is a trash.”
With a scornful gesture, she threw it out the door. "I don't want trash in my life, just like I don't want you in it."
Alex hurried outside to retrieve the gift, containing very important items.
Neighbours had gathered around to witness the shameful drama, with some pointing their fingers and laughing disdainfully to Alex.
Such a shameful husband.

On the Great Archelion Empire military base, a million soldiers stand, while thousands of aircraft fill the blue skies, and thousands of battleships on the sea create an awe-inspiring magnificence across the horizon.
The old, scary-faced general stood, thundered his command fiercely. “Tomorrow, our Supreme Commander, Lord Alexander Kingsley, will return with his wife, Merly. We have dispatched the finest aircraft to personally escort them from Blackwood City.”
“I have told them, don’t let anyone hurt our Lord. Erase the entire Blackwood City if necessary! And none of you shall bring shame upon our dignity when our lord arrives!”
"Sir! Yes, Sir," a million soldiers answered in thunderous unison, their voices trembling and echoing through the air, reaching towards the heavens.

Merly stood at the door, rigid like a lioness, faced the gathered crowd fiercely."Everyone, look at this useless man," she shouted with contempt, "He can't bring me any happiness in my life. He gave me ugly, cheap things, and all bitter food to eat!"“Before marriage, I didn’t even need to work. Rich men were lining up to provide everything I needed!”"Since I married, I’ve known nothing but pain and poverty." She scanned the crowd arrogantly. "I ask you, do I have the right to divorce this worthless man?"An unmarried, 70-year-old grandmother retorted, "Merly, you are beautiful, and you are already too kind to your trash husband. If it were me, I would have long ago divorced him! Even if you gave him to me for free, I wouldn’t take him.""Agree," chimed in another ugly man. "Merly, you're too pretty for him. Even I am much better than him. Your husband is totally trash.""Sister," a man shouldered his way through the crowd in hurry. "Sorry I'm late. Where's that bastard?"Merly point

Alex clenched his stomach and gazed at the government agency building.Last year, he and Merly arrived, full of love and happiness, unable to wait even a second to sign their marriage papers.They declared the sacred oath together."In good times and bad, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, until death do us part, we are committed to staying together."Sealing it with a sacred kiss forever.He even still vividly remembers the sweetness of the taste of the sacred kiss on her beautiful lips.Now he was the only one clinging to their oath."Trash! What are you standing there for?" Merly calling out to him impatiently. "Go in and get this over with."Alex’s had no choice. Together, they entered the crowded hall, took a number, and waited for their turn.The sterile scent of the government office mixed with Merly’s perfume as Alex beside her pleaded.“Merly, human can make mistake so, I will give you another chance?”Merly remained silent.“For all the love we've been through, all

Alex looked at the divorce paper.‘Winning is winning, losing is losing.’With a heavy sigh, he signed the paper.He accepted this harsh reality like a true man, burying all his love in the silent grave of agony. He vowed not to return to this place again.“She will regret it painfully, later,” the old officer muttered.“Pardon?”“I heard the commotion you both caused outside. The security came and told me. She wants a divorce because you are poor, right?”Alex nodded.The old woman sighed heavily. “You purposely showed her a smart device on your wrist, and there is a small royal logo on it. You’re not just anybody. But she is too oblivious to what she wants.”“You know about this?” Alex showed the smart device with small royal logo."I'm old enough to recognize a Cinderella story about a royal family revealing themselves a year after marriage. I've waited for it my entire life, but it never happened.”“Some newlywed women who left the marriage department with their husband were gossip

On the roadside, under the scorching sunlight, Alex's hands trembled with rage and irony as he flung the ring."So, Ugor is the real reason for our divorce?"Merly caught the ring; her face briefly showed a hint of guilt before transforming into aggressive arrogance.“So what? We are already divorced. I am free to do anything.”“You are right.” It was really a bitter reality, taste like a sand in Alex’s mouth.“Don’t you know who Ugor really is? He’s just going to play with your heart and body, then discard you. Can’t you find someone better, someone more human than a goat?”“Shut up!” Ugor interjected. “I’m going to marry Merly. If it weren’t for you, I’d have married her six months ago.”Alex ignored him, “Merly, ask yourself deep down, is Ugor the right one for you? He’s only slightly richer than me, just another worker.”He knew her well; they had been husband and wife for a year.“Anyone better than you is fine,” Merly's face flushed with shame, her eyes darting away to avoid the

"You're the one who's wrong!" Ugor's intense anger and emotional rage were evident as he defended his innocence, even though it was clearly his fault.Suddenly, the most luxurious car in the world, worth $10 million, appeared behind the $50,000 and $100,000 cars.A tall, stunningly beautiful woman, with long hair and adorned in extravagant attire, emerged from her car.“Dears, can you both move your cars? I need to pass. Please don’t block the way.”Ugor, shocked by the beauty, promptly replied with a lewd expression, "Yes, yes, of course."“Right away.” The other car owner, feeling intimidated by the high-priced car’s aura, also moved his car to the parking lot to clear the way."Thank you," the woman replied, then drove her luxury car into the parking lot, eliciting awe from a crowd of onlookers.She got out of her car elegantly, walked towards Alex, and bowing deeply. “Lord Alex, your faithful personal assistant, Livinia, at your service.”Ugor and Merly watched in shock as the beau

Merly burst into the room, her eyes wide with desperation, declaring, “Cancel my divorce this instant!”The woman looked at Merly, her finger already on the enter button. "Oops... I just pushed it."Merly's face turned into a shock; her smart device was still connected to Auna."Oh, I apologize, Mrs. Merly,” Auna suddenly called. “Our system just processing your divorce. As a result, this bank account will be terminated. Have a nice day."The screen suddenly went blank."Why did you put it in the system?" Merly’s anger flaring at the worker.“I had tried to give you 15 minutes before, but you refused it! Go back to Mr. Alexander, ask him to sign the marriage papers again," the woman disdainfully said. “Loser!”In a mixed feeling of fury and loss, Merly walked out.The guard halted Merly with a lewd grin. "He's signed the divorce papers. Do you have time tonight?""Shut up!" Merly snapped, pushing him away angrily.Outside the parking lot, in the burning heat of the sunlight, she found

"What? What did you just say?" The general manager stood up, shock and disbelief evident on his face. No one had ever spoken so boldly in front of him in his entire life."I'll repeat it as many times as you want," Alex said, fed up with everything.“This place, Luster, is not your fucking place."The worker’s face was pale, they were so shocked that they didn’t dare say anything or make even the smallest move.“Explain, you bastard,” Luster demanded, his voice seething with fury his body trembling in anger.“This Total Construction has stockholders; they are the real owners. We are all just workers here, and you, despite being the general manager, are a salary eater like us. Or…”Stepping forward, Alex's eyes blazed with defiance. "Do you believe you're the boss here? Acting arrogantly all this time? Some people snap their fingers then you wouldn't find a job for the rest of your life."“Great... great... Looks like you’ve finally gone crazy,” Luster retorted, scanning the room.“All

"Guys, what are you doing here?" The sudden, sweet call in the tense room was like a melody, instantly turning all heads and calming the stormy air.They all turned toward the source, beholding a vision of goddess beauty with luxury clothes.A woman with her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, her movements radiated grace and elegance. Her smile, warm and inviting, seemed to thaw even the iciest demeanour, carrying with her an autumnal aura."Miss Sophia," Lucas stammered, hastily releasing Alex's collar as everyone, trying to get a good side of Sophia, returned to their chairs.Sophia Deneuve, in her twenties, was the golden apple of the wealthy Deneuve family, the CEO of Deneuve Hotel, and top 3 goddess in the Blackwood City."Hello, guys," Sophia's melodious voice dissolved the tension, her elegant floral perfume lingering, enchanting everyone present."Hi, Miss Sophia," the men responded, their faces lighting up with an almost foolish delight. To them, Sophia was like an

“This isn’t over yet!” Brian snapped, turning back to his exam, trying his hardest to pass it.Alex laughed and turned to the Alchemy Master.“Can I use one of the alchemy room now? I need to make a potion for my friend.”Mitchell Hunt, the alchemy master shocked and chatted with Alex for a while and quickly realized that Alex wasn’t just skilled in the theories of alchemy—he was also familiar with actual refinement processes.Monstrous!Mitchell had spent decades in alchemy, only reaching the Alchemy Master level at fifty years old.Thinking about Alex’s age made him feel both impressed and embarrassed.It was frustrating! How old was Alex? Yet his knowledge was already on par with seasoned masters.It was proof that knowledge didn’t always come with age.“Sure,” Mitchell said finally, “I’ll let you use my alchemy room. You can use any ingredient inside. If something’s missing, you can ask my assistant.”“Here, take this card—it’ll grant you access, and I’ll inform my assistant. Mean

"Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ll become a Master today," Brian said, shaking his head in disgust."You’d be better off running home and nursing at your mother’s breast."Alex responded with a nonchalant shrug. "We’ll see about that," he said softly."And when I prove you wrong, I’ll treat you as my proper servant."With those quiet, confident words, Alex turned and walked toward the examination chamber, leaving Brian seething in his wake.Brian glared at the boy’s retreating back, his mind spinning with disbelief.How dare this arrogant whelp even consider taking such a demanding exam?Shaking his head, Brian stepped into the assigned room, bitter resentment burning hot in his chest.Inside the testing chamber, Alex approached the Alchemy Master presiding over the exam.The old man’s face was stern, his gaze appraising as he studied the young stranger who dared to set foot here.He looked utterly perplexed.

Walking down a corridor lit by soft, enchanted lamp, Alex followed the attendant who had greeted him in the lobby.His thoughts drifted to the fallen Alchemist Association.He recalled how, in recent years, so many gifted minds had abandoned alchemy for the sword and spear, leaving a generation barely touched by the old art’s wisdom.In his previous life, he had witnessed the Alchemist Association’s last stand during the siege of Miracle City.They had given everything, each member perishing in the final defense.At least, he had no reason to doubt their honor; the Bolton Family’s hand had never tainted the alchemists’ good name.His guide, a sharp-eyed young woman named Lanny, studied him with open skepticism.“You’re here to take the apprentice examination, right? I hope you’ve prepared. Anyone worth their salt knows at least five foundational tomes by heart.”Alex almost laughed as he pictured one of those massive texts.It had been thick enough to topple a grown man if hurled with

In a split second, Alex pulled the gun from his pocket and fired at the attacker.It was an ancient technology, long lost to time, and only a handful of people still owned it.The other attackers froze, their eyes wide as they watched their leader—a silver rank—fly back nearly ten meters from the force of the laser shot.Smoke rose from his chest, where a searing burn now marred his flesh.The top silver rank was dead by one shot.The remaining four glanced at each other, panic spreading across their faces.They nodded in silent agreement and suddenly turned to flee.What was supposed to be an easy job—killing a bronze-ranked kid—had turned into a nightmare.That same kid had just taken down their leader, the strongest among them, with a single shot.They were only early silver rank—staying would mean certain death.Running was their only choice.As they bolted, Alex didn’t hesitate.

Previously, Alex and Sofie were on the truck, heading back to the city, when Renault contacted them.“Sofie, Alex! Thank God you’re safe! We’ve been searching everywhere for you,” Renault’s voice crackled through the communicator.Alex smiled, knowing Renault felt truly safe was knowing the princess was unharmed.His whole family could land in prison if anything happened to her.“We’re okay!” Alex replied straightforwardly.“But you guys need to hurry and get the stuff—then leave quickly!”“Why?” Renault asked, a note of worry in his tone.“I ran into some outlaws,” Alex explained.“They’re hunting for nobles. They’ll try to steal everything and might even kidnap all of you for ransom!”Renault’s breath hitched on the other end, clearly caught off guard.If the outlaws found them, it would be catastrophic.But Alex’s warning gave them an edge—if they knew trouble was coming, they could set traps and prepare an ambush.“Thank you, Alex.

Jareth furiously raised his head and glared at Renault.“What?” Renault snapped back, his eyes narrowing.“Don’t think I won’t destroy your entire family if you keep trying to harm Alex and Sofie!”The tension crackled between them. Renault’s voice was like ice, sharp and cutting, and his presence felt larger, as though he were towering over Jareth.Renault’s anger simmered just beneath the surface. Sofie was a princess of Miracle City, and if anyone dared to suspect her or interfere with her gains from the expedition, they’d answer to him.Perhaps even the King himself would inspect their family treasures tomorrow.How dare Jareth think he could threaten his family?For the first time, Jareth saw Renault this angry, making his own rage falter.He took a step back, feeling the weight of Renault’s family name.Renault was a member of the major DuPont family, a direct descendant, no less.

"Shut up, Jareth!" Scarlet's voice cracked with anger as she glared at him."This is the truth!" Jareth retorted coldly, his laughter mocking."His corpse has probably been devoured by beasts. You can't change what's already a fact!"Alex had swallowed his Mana Force, filling him with hatred.He had robbed him of years of painstaking effort. If Alex wasn't already dead, Jareth swore he'd kill him with his own hands."Get lost!" Scarlet snapped, fury radiating from her. "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"Jareth opened his mouth to retort, but Renault interrupted, his voice edged with warning. "You'd better listen to her, Jareth."Regret gnawed at Renault's chest.He should have prioritized Sofie. Guilt weighed heavily as he prayed for her safety. Listening to Jareth's venomous remarks only deepened the bitterness in his heart.Jareth smirked, shrugged, and moved aside, his defiance lingering in the air.The group was down to just twenty-one people now.

Her indignation wavered as she realized he was only trying to help her.But that also meant Alex had seen her entire body while treating her injuries.Embarrassment gnawed at her, her cheeks flushing deeply."Thank you," she whispered, her eyes dropping to the floor.An awkward silence settled between them. Gathering her courage, Sofie finally asked, "Alex, do you... like me?"Alex knew that once he'd confided his feelings to his twenty-one commoner friends, the whole academy would soon find out.He looked at her earnestly."You are more precious to me than all the treasures on this earth. Your beauty shines brighter than any jewel."He took a deep breath and continued, "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride."Her heart skipped a beat at his heartfelt confession. Though part of her had suspected his feelings, hearing him say it so directly left her flustered.Taking a steadying breath, she said, "We're still young. We don'
