Apocalypse After

Party Invitation

Her night.

After a long night, Alexander looked lethargic. His conversation with Annie made him feel uncomfortable. The man had almost no fear, but still hated with troublesome things.

Within Alexander's residence, six people gathered in a lounge. Daisy and Nene seem busy preparing ingredients to make potions. Meanwhile, Aster and Jane are scrubbing and cleaning the special wood that has been cut. Prepared for dagger and sword handles.

Alexander seemed busy carving out some details as well as adding ornaments. Aurora herself seemed to be busy crafting weapons with the hint of the man sitting not far beside her.

“Do you feel uncomfortable Al? Is it because of that woman?” Aurora looked at the man with a worried expression.

Aurora usually sees Alexander making many people dizzy and troubled. So, when he saw the man looking tired and dizzy, he felt that their ‘-against-’ was not only strong, but really not simple.

“What do you think?” Alexander asked back.

“Sorry?” Aurora looked confused.

“You should feel it. It's a little different, but you're a little bit alike. Could it be that all members of the Rosewald Family were like that?” alexander was relaxed.

“Eh??” Nene looked surprised.

Not only Nene, but Jane was also very surprised. Daisy and Aster don't actually know the details, but they can still hold back. Not too surprised because after following Alexander for quite a long time, they began to get used to such shocking things.

“You're wrong Al. I have absolutely nothing to do with the Rosewald Family. I come from the Grasswald Family, which is now destroyed.” Aurora said with a flat expression.

Alexander looked at Aurora. Realizing there was no change in the woman's face, he let out a long sigh.

“Sorry to make you remember such unpleasant memories,” said Alexander sincerely.

“Same is not a problem Al.” Aurora shook her head. “I don't think of them as family at all. I once had a parent and a younger sister. They are my family, whereas the people of the Grasswald Family .. they have nothing to do with me.”

Alexander said nothing. He stretched out his hand, then stroked Aurora's head with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing how Alexander treated her like a child, Aurora felt very embarrassed. Not to mention now there were five other people in the room observing them. Despite having a slight red hue on her face, Aurora rebuffed Alexander's hand and complained.

“Do not treat me like a little girl!” said it.

“Sorry, sorry ..”

Alexander raised both his hands with a gesture of surrender, but made the corners of the lips of the other four people lift up. This made Aurora even more embarrassed. At that moment, Aster's voice suddenly sounded.

“Not to be ashamed, Sister Aurora. No outsiders here.”

Hearing Aster's words, the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Others know that's not the case. No one answered the woman.

After a short pause, Daisy suddenly reprimands her cousin.

“Do not interrupt if you do not understand Aster,” said the woman.

“Err ... Am I wrong?” Aster scratched the back of his head with a confused expression.

“You are not at all wrong, Aster.”

Hearing that answer, everyone stared in the same direction. The speaker was Alexander, who looked back at them with a gentle smile on his face. Unlike his usual fake smile, a trace of sincerity appeared in his eyes.

“Indeed there are no outsiders here. Even ... I consider the person in this room as my new family.”

Alexander said honestly. Since the winter when he had everyone leave after a period of time but they instead chose to face the risk of finding him, the man felt the sincerity of the five women. Not only did he consider it a tree to shelter, but a figure they followed with a sincere heart.

So ... The heart that was covered in that thick layer of ice melted slightly. Although not completely, but at least reduced, and made him feel a little warmth. Like a glimmer of light in a dark and gloomy world.

Meanwhile, the expressions of those people also changed when they heard the word family. Even Nene directly wiped the corner of her eyes. Aurora closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

“Omong-by the way .. are you planning to cooperate with that woman? Or maybe try to fight it?” Aurora immediately switched the conversation.

When he heard Aurora's question, Alexander's expression turned even more serious. He immediately conveyed his thoughts to the members of his group.

“I still hesitate to choose standing on which side.”

“Why?” aurora asked who saw Alexander worried.

“I haven't seen two others. So information about the new ruler candidate is not yet known. There is only some data and information, but I have not met the two of them directly. Meanwhile, Annie really surprised me. He was clearly not considered a candidate for the new ruler. But ... the woman is not at all easy to face.” Alexander's expression grew serious.

“You mean ..” Aurora's eyes narrowed.

“Annie is completely different from the figure touted by people. It seems that the woman managed to fool everyone in Shelter 1 ... even her own family.” Alexander sighed, looking a little tired.

Just then Aster raised his hand, then asked, “Then why do you know he lied, Mister?”

“Besides you, do you know who knows the identity of V?” Alexander asked back.

“You mean ... the woman has guessed your identity, Al?” aurora asked with a astonished expression.

“He doesn't know my real identity. But the woman knew that Faust was V. On the contrary, I knew that the identity of the weakly beautiful princess was simply not true. The woman was clearly hiding very deeply, gathering her own strength (armies) without anyone realizing it,” Alexander replied.

“...”

Everyone in the room was silent. From Alexander's words, they immediately understood what the man meant. There was a reason why Alexander and Annie could guess and then make a gap from his opponent's disguise. That's because ...

Both are the same type!

The next three days.

Today Cursed Lambs has another special guest. Mr. Lenka walked out of the headquarters, staring at the black-robed and masked man with a friendly smile on his face. He spread out his hands and said with a cheerful tone.

“A long time no see you, My friend. If you don't show up, maybe I'll ask people to search Shelter 1 to find you. I almost thought that you ran away, and were not responsible for the idea you mentioned earlier,”.

“You're thinking too much, my friend. It takes a lot of time to collect the ingredients to make a fragrant wine. Not to mention, I was collecting unique and good materials to make weapons. Also have to go find a place to forge such weapons,” reply Alexander friendly.

“Hahaha! I'm just kidding,” said Mr. Lenka.

Alexander shrugged in response. Although he did not fully believe it, he did not intend to respond to it.

At that moment Alexander saw Mr. Lenka pull out an envelope. Then Mr. Lenka's voice sounded in his ear.

“Before entering, you must receive this first,” said the middle-aged man.

“This???” Alexander looked confused.

“Of course an invitation letter. You are my partner, so I want you to attend this party. Besides ...”

Mr. Lenka smiled mysteriously, then continued.

“I really want to see how people react when ‘Famous Lord V’ appears at this party.”
