ARCHDEUS

LESE NOBLESSE(3)

Alex is still in his room. He doesn't like to hang out and talk to strange people.

"Dad, Grandma asked Dad to come down immediately."

Merry who is now dressed neatly has opened the door to Alex's room. He was accompanied by Alven who had also worn his noble clothes.

The two boys were always together and very enthusiastic. There is plenty of food they can enjoy.

"Huh .. yes, I'll be gone soon."

Alex breathed a sigh. It seemed that indeed he should at least show face to all the guests present.

When Alex exits the mansion and heads to the courtyard where the tea party is being held, he is immediately greeted by Regis and Clotildy.

Regis is the representative of the House of Morhust. He obviously had to be invited especially to see the relationship of Fertiphile and Morhust which is now very familiar.

While Clotildy became a representative of the House of Otilia. Although the area is currently not in a good condition but they must still attend this event so as not to lose face in front of other nobles.

"Finally you showed up, too" Regis said.

"Mr Alex, it's good to see you again" Clotildy said.

"It's nice to meet you guys. Thank you for coming to my show."

Alex answered all of their words. As the three chatted casually.

Without realizing it, Alex has made his own circel. Clotildy and Regis are the official heirs of two large counties so indirectly Alex's position is already very above the wind at this time.

"Father, Merry and Brother Al want to go there," said Merry, pointing to a pile of food on a table not far from them.

"Yes, go" said Ales, watching the two children run with their small legs.

The three people returned to talk.

Regis and Clotildy start asking questions about Alex's condition.

"Alex, how do you take care of your territory? Do you have a plan?"

For Regis, even though Alex is a very smart person but he does not have much experience managing a territory especially from scratch.

"Alex, building that territory is much more difficult than taking care of an established territory. Your experience as an Interim Governor may not be enough to build your territory in the future" Regis said.

Clotildy nodded and added.

"What Oldest Young Master Morhust said is not wrong, Mr. Alex, if you have a problem, you can contact our territory. We are happy to help."

Although Otilia is in a difficult time at this time but that does not mean they become pariah territory. Moreover, the Barony of Alexandreia which is Alex's territory is in the hegemony of Otilia so practically Otilia does not want its influence to fade there.

"Well, I'll hear your advice in the future thank you."

Although Alex is confident in his own ability to build and develop his territory, but he still appreciates the sincere wishes of his friends.

Surely Alex's words were greeted by a satisfied smile that showed the confidence of his friends.

While the three were still sitting in conversation, Regis asked Clotildy and Alex.

"What if we go around? My feet tingle if I keep sitting."

In the end the two chatted while walking. Of course their discussion will not be far from the problems of their respective regions, especially Alex who was lectured by the two people like a junior who was getting enlightenment from his seniors.

Unexpectedly, due to busy chatting and not focusing on seeing people around, Alex's arm accidentally hit the tea glass held by someone.

The two people who were with Alex stopped at the same time and saw what happened

Alex has a towering height so he can clearly see the tea stains that are on the clothes of the person he accidentally hit.

That person was a woman who had fiery red hair and had a pretty face.

Alex quickly apologized.

"ah! Sorry miss, I didn't do it on purpose."

"It doesn't matter don't worry" said the woman.

Alex and the woman stared at each other. Suddenly the woman looked at him with a shocked and horrified look.

Damnit damnit! Why at a time like this should I meet this person?!  the woman shouted in her mind.

Shirley along with Seral and Leen had been at a tea party event hosted by Fertiphile.

From the beginning he had been very careful and wary of every single thing that might happen. If he can, he doesn't want to make contact with Alex and his mother. But who would have thought, Shirley who initially only wanted to divorce the quarrel between Seral and Leen actually had bad luck.

The tea he held spilled and accidentally hit someone else. But what's worse is that guy is Alex.

At this time he and Alex had eye contact long enough until Alex finally spoke.

"Miss Alchera?"

Alex is aware of this woman. He was the nephew of his stepmother. Although there was not much interaction going on, she and Shirley had already met several times. But no significant conversation took place as Alex recalls.

"Ah, yes?" shirley said in a panic.

Sensing the stiff atmosphere that occurred between Shirley and the man nearby, Seral who did have a carefree nature was happily trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Why is it so stiff? Is he your ex-fiancee?"

Seral asked Shirley accompanied by a small laugh. Although he was Shirley's subordinate, but thanks to the closeness of the two, the distance between master and subordinate was getting thinner. Seral now considers Shirley to be nothing more than her sister.

"Shut up!"

Shirley raised her voice for the first time in front of Seral.

Obviously both of them, both Seral and Leen were shocked because this was the first time Shirley could not hold back her emotions.

"Damn, forget. Let's go."

Shirley walked away from the men followed Seral and Leen silently without speaking like never before.

Alex who suspected Shirley was angry because of her spilled tea immediately called out to her. Moreover Alex does not want this problem to be known by Liana, otherwise Alex can suspect Liana will fry the case seven days and seven nights in front of Harol. So it's better to finish it now.

"Miss Alchera, I'm really sorry. Please come with me to the mansion. The ministry will clean your clothes."

"Far away!"

Shirley shouted out loudly so as to attract the surrounding attention.

The guests curiously observed what was going on right now.

"What are you doing? Asking me to change clothes in your room?!"

Shirley shouted in panic. He crossed his hands on his chest as if he was carrying out a protective attitude.

"What's? No, that's not what I mean, I-"

"Yeah! Basic pervert! Stay away from me, you bastard!?"

Shirley hides behind Leen as if saving herself from a sexual predator.

Whether intentional or not, but Shirley's voice became louder as more and more people watched.

The guests who saw all the events started to whisper.

Alex, who was accused of being a pervert, just kept quiet by looking at Shirley with a cold look.

He was intentionally.

As far as Alex was concerned, he had never offended Shirley so he had no idea why the woman had suddenly charged him like this.

"Enough, sorry for making a fuss. Nothing happened, all just a misunderstanding."

"That's right, I as the representative of the House of Otilia also apologized. This is just a misunderstanding that's going on between friends."

Regis and Clotildy are now in action. They couldn't let their friend's good name be harassed like this in public.

In the end it all came back to be conducive. Guests no longer notice what is happening. Especially when the two grand noble children had already given clarification then there was nothing to look at.

Meanwhile, Alex is still putting on a sour face. His mood fell to its lowest point. For Alex who was an archdeus but managed to be trapped like this, he felt really very sad.

The night came ....

The show had entered its peak at night, performing musical plays in a hall located in the opera house owned by Fertiphile. This building is located in the center of Fertihall City which functioned as a theater building to be staged. Guests enthusiastically enjoy the performance of the drama performed and interspersed with an epic orchestra.

Initially Harol wanted to display the history of the greatness of their ancestors, especially the history of the Estoc of Nightmare, which is a sword that became legitimized as a ruler of Fertiphile, but Clara asked for something else. He recommends displaying Alex's struggles while on a fief war in Otilia. Harol readily agrees and changes all the themes of the story that was originally a classic story into the story of Alex, their eldest son.

It turned out that what Clara recommended proved to be true. The entire audience was quite enthusiastic and loved the drama. Their eyes twinkled even when they were done, the applause they gave out was horrendous. Everyone loved it, except one ....

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-damn it! It's shameful!

Alex also watched the drama. But he felt very embarrassed, because in that story quite a lot of things were told too much and did not fit the facts. Like he killed an entire high-class sorcerer, wyvern rider, and spirit. Then he re-established the world order and was appointed as a wise and respected ruler in a region called Alexandreia.

It's like I'm watching a propaganda film made to adore myself, Alex thought.

Although Alex as a seroang archdeus does have a tendency to like to be praised, but that does not mean he can survive watching this cringe drama.

Despite all that exaggeration, this is the most successful event the Fertiphile House has made in celebrating Alex's appointment as a baron.
