ARCHDEUS

ALLIANCE(2)

Meanwhile in the mansion, Alex and Merry are living their peaceful lives.

Not only did Merry actually go from the countryside back to the mansion, but also Justin and Erline.

In the countryside, there are Francess, Rain, and Alven. Francess is interning in Alex's garden, while Rain and Alven are busy training.

Especially Alves. All the books on magic that Alex collected were in the villa so it would be very troublesome if he had to move those books in the mansion.

"Dad ... bribe."

Merry, who had not met Alex for a long time, finally vented his longing by continuing to spoil.

She is currently sitting on Alex's lap and is comfortably bribed by her father.

A cake wrapped in sticky chocolate is a meal they are enjoying.

Yup, both of them like sweet foods, so it is not wrong if someone says that they are father and biological children.

"Dad, does Merry have to go to school?"

"Hmm .. Who said that?"

Merry was a little embarrassed to say it.

"Merry overheard my dad and grandma talking about Merry."

Alex recalled that when Clara was visiting her villa, Clara had mentioned about Merry's education in the future.

Alex as an archdeus who not only holds power over hell with his title as God of Unlife, he also holds absolute rights as the ruler of the vacuum with his title as a dimensioner. The dimensioner is not only responsible with the barrier that separates each world but he becomes the source of knowledge. All gods who claim to be gods of knowledge must bow to the presence of Sheol (Alex) for his grace.

So personally Alex is very supportive of Merry to get an education. Moreover, he who has become a noble, Merry should not only rely on Alex's background. However, Alex's goal to adopt Merry is to get the most profit so that if Alex wants to profit, he must improve the quality of his products or in other words make Merry have more value in order to be a promising investment product.

"Yes right, Merry has to go to school."

Schools in the Midgard world, especially in the Kingdom of Artchania, do not have strict administrative rules. First, the school has a flexible age limit meaning that as long as a child can walk and talk, he or she enrolls in school without fear of age limits regardless of whether he or she is an adult or not. Second, there is no complex level of education, so after a child passes through school-level education which is categorized as primary education level, he can immediately try to enroll at the college level or university level.

Merry who heard Alex's words lost her spirit. Alex realized that and asked.

"What's up, son?"

Merry clasped alex's big, warm arm.

"Dad, can Merry not go to school?"

"Why?"

Alex is not angry, but she wants to know why her son doesn't want to go to school.

Merry actually wanted to answer she was lazy but somehow if she said that, she would feel too rude to her father.

"Merry still wants to play with Father and Brother Al."

"You can still play with your father and brother Al. Al's brother will also go to school with Merry."

When compared to Merry, Alex is actually much more loving to Alven. That was because Alven had enormous potential as a magician, while Merry when Alex first adopted him, was nothing more than a mere impulsive trait. Although over time Alex still values Merry as an investment tool, but when compared to Alven, then Alex will still choose Alven. Although in recent months this girl has been getting an experiment to become a vampire, but until now except for the desire of her girl who wants to drink blood, her little girl does not have any vampire power.

Alex is confused. He doesn't find an adult vampire capable of being Merry's teacher. And Alex is also too busy, even though he knows the anatomy and psychology of vampires because Alex himself created a creature called a vampire, but his current position as a human does not support him doing empirical education as a vampire.

While the two men are busy sharing family love, Clara who sits not far from them can only bite her spoon with envy.

Alex-ku .. mother also wants ....

Clara sees Alex kissing Merry's cheek with a loving father.

Clara was crying in her heart. She had never had a kiss for a long time.

Uh for a second, have I ever kissed Alex before?

Clara remembers a time when Alex was a toddler and so on.

Holy jeez!! He never kissed me!

Clara's memory is not wrong. Alex never kissed his mother. It was precisely during this time only Clara who unilaterally kissed and pinched Alex's cheek.

Clara could feel as if a cloud was over her head. He was being showered by a rain of jealousy.

Clotildy who was sitting next to Clara just smiled awkwardly.

He can feel Clara's jealousy just by being around her.

After Clara and her subordinates met Alex, they were invited to stay at the mansion. Clara could not refuse the request, so she and her subordinates checked out of the inn and stayed at the mansion until now.

Clotildy who did not want to be involved in the flow of emotions Clara also tried not to care about it.

He looked at Alex and Merry who were bribing each other.

Clotildy never expected, a man who was very serious when he worked could be this gentle with his daughter.

Clotildy suddenly remembered something.

If Alex already has a child, doesn't that mean Alex is married? Not only that, his son also looks big enough which means his marriage is long enough.

A moment appeared a wave of emotions from Clotildy's heart.

Somehow he felt disappointed and sad when he thought of Alex who was not single.

The sound of knocking on the door made Clotildy shift the focus of her mind.

He saw Alen bowing respectfully to them.

"Is that so? Where's she?"

"Your Oldest Young Master Morhust is waiting for you in the living room, My Lord."

Alex took Merry down from his lap. Then he went to get ready to meet Regis.

Merry was a little uncomfortable when it came to getting out of her father's lap. But he did not dare to say anything.

When Alex went to see Regis, he was startled by the man's annoyed screams.

"Alex what are you thinking! You've never gone to war, and now, you're going into battle with your current appearance ...."

Regis suddenly fell silent when he saw Alex.

"You ... You're Alex?"

Alex did not answer.

Regis approached Alex and observed this man.

"Hmm ... Why did you lose your white skin?"

Regis held Alex's hands together.

"Hmm ... lots of calluses and pretty rough."

He then held Alex's upper arm, trying to hold his arm muscles.

"Very hard."

He then compared her height and Alex's.

"What's this?! Since when are you half a head taller than me?!"

Alex who was only made an object of observation gave an indifferent gaze.

"Alex ... since when did you .. change?"

"Why? I can't be a warrior?"

"No .. no, not that. But ... Aren't you lazy?"

"I'm not lazy anymore."

"Huh? Really?"

Alex just nodded.

"So .. you're going to go to the fief war place."

Alex did not answer. He asked Regis one thing.

"How many people did you bring?"

"I'm sorry?"

Regis doesn't understand Alex's question.

"I asked, how many soldiers have you brought to help fief war Miss Otilia?"

"Huh? Alex, I didn't bring any. You didn't ask me to join."

"I've sent you a letter."

"...."

You just wrote you were in the war! That's all!

"Huh ... shit, even my friends still don't understand my line of thought."

It was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in Regis' ear upon hearing that word.

"What ... can you repeat? A fella? We're friends?!"

This is the first time Alex has confirmed their friendship.

"Alex! As expected, your heart is not as solid as your face!"

Regis wants to hug Alex. Alex held him back.

"You haven't had a shower, have you? Don't hug me. You're stinky and flea."

The words seemed to be a slap not only for Regis but the people around who were listening.

As with the low level of sanitation awareness, the level of personal hygiene caused by low public view of the obligation to bathe every day causes them not to be too eager to do bathing activities. Besides being based on health views, it is also caused by a theological view that is too politicized by priests who consider bathing is taboo.

So not only Regis, the likes of Clotildy, Clara, and Alen who heard Alex's words just fell silent while bowing their heads in shame.

"Regis, you brought no one. So how can you help us?"

Regis who lost his spirit due to Regis' previous words now thought of the question.

Regis suddenly got an idea.

"What if you hire adventurers?"
