ARCHDEUS

HIS DAUGHTER(2)

Merry Itziel Alexandreia, who would have thought there was a very interesting story where a slave had now become a noble child. What an unexpected life story, suitable to be told in many audiences.

Of course, behind the adoption and establishment of the Alexandreia Family as a branch of the Fertiphile Family many conflicts ensued, particularly from the Fertiphile Family's own Chief, Count Harol.  Besides him, his second son Jared and the Countess Liana also gave the same attitude.

Harol opposes Alex's actions, which are seen as paying no attention to the family's voice. However, who would have guessed that Clara supported Alex to adopt the child. For Clara, he also regrets Alex's implicit actions, but if positive things are taken, so with this relationship there is a bond of legal and religious norms so that the relationship of Alex and Merry will never be more than a godfather and adopted child. Clara was initially very afraid to think of her son who might make a slave out of nowhere as her sleeping partner, considering Alex had never glanced at or asked for an engagement to another noble woman.

As for Harol feeling Alex's actions are outrageous. Even if the Fertiphile House gives an official statement that their eldest son appoints an adopted child, it is highly likely slander such as the assertion that the child is an illegitimate child. But fortunately the boy did not carry the family name Fertiphile. Harol initially wanted to make an aggressive attack by forcibly expelling the girl, but when he considered Alex's rapid growth in the barracks based on the reports given, of course he was unlikely to do that. If his actions lead to Alex as a gifted but lazy child this defiant to him would of course be a loss to the family. As a first child, of course Harol had high hopes for Alex. Although the hope had dimmed but who would have thought the report from Winson made Harol's hopes for his eldest son back bright.

Harol also considered that the slave who was raised as Alex's son did not carry the name and blood of the Fertiphile Family at all so that it would not damage their next pure blood descendant. So during the week-long debate that ensued, beginning various threats of Harol and the stubborn Alex (aided by Clara's cries), they finally got a deal.

all the needs and needs of Merry in any form are borne by Alex. The head of the Fertiphile Family would not give any help.

- Merry will not get voting rights and inheritance rights to any affairs and property of the Fertiphile family.

- The Fetiphile family rejects the existence of the Alexandreia Family as a branch of the family but recognizes the Alexandreia Family as a separate entity from the Fertiphile Family.

alex will abide by all of its agreements with Harol.

- The publication of the adoption of Merry will be carried out after the implementation of the Alex Maturity Ceremony.

Merry is accompanied by Clara's loyal guard Erline is in the garden behind the house. The girl was with her brown teddy bear. Erline was initially quite pessimistic about Merry's development. Although not published directly to the servants, he was at least aware that the atmosphere of the house became tense due to Merry's status. Every day young master Alex would step into the count's den. Even though the door had closed, there were still some sounds of commotion heard. It is clear the count did not acknowledge Merry's whereabouts but he did not deny it.

Merry was unaware of the situation. During this week, he slowly reopened his heart. Who would have thought, he would get a room that was much more luxurious than before. It contains beautiful and bright magic lights, beautiful clothes, and even cute toys.

Every day he also had good food. Frozen juice and various types of meat accompany his day.

All this is thanks to Dad!

The more he thought about his father, the brighter the smile on his face.

"Sister Erline."

Merry handed him a bunch of purple-colored wildflowers that he had assembled into a simple bracelet.

Erline smiled and picked it up.  Although this child was initially very shy but slowly he began to adapt. Other than Alex and Clara, Erline was probably the third person closest to her. Merry really admires the figure of Erline who is a woman but very dashing and cool. That was why he was so easy to extract with her.

"Thank you" said Erline.

"Sister Erline, is this pretty?"

Tenyata Merry made one more flower bracelet. This time the flowers are red.

"Yes, that's great Young Miss."

Although not yet official and still in opposition, but the servants know, sooner or later the status of Merry as Alex's adopted child will be inaugurated soon after seeing Count Harol softened. Of course, Harol did not back down for any reason, assuming this condition he must have given Alex an obligation. It might be like the obligation to practice the aura for example.

"I want to give this to you!"

"Hamba is sure, Mr. Alex will like her Young Miss," Erline said with a smile.

Merry was so happy. He had never given a gift before. According to Erline a few days ago, gifts were used to show affection and to thank someone. Of course Merry has to give his best for his father.

"Merry~!"

Merry and Erline turned their gazes at the source of the screams. There, Alex and Justin walked up to them. Alex waved his hand and gave a warm smile. Since Merry's arrival, Alex has been more expressive. He smiles and laughs more often, of course, when Merry is there.

"Dad~!"

Merry ran with his little legs. She currently wears pink shoes and dresses with a flower skirt.

Alex opens both hands and Merry jumps into his father's arms. Both smiles were as bright as the morning sun.

"Dad ... dad."

Merry hugged his father's neck and put his head on his father's shoulder.

"What's Merry?" alex asked, patting his son on the back.

"Dad, this is for Dad."

Merry looked at Alex and gave her a flower bracelet she had made herself.

Alex then kissed his son. Merry also replied by peeping her father's cheek.

Although they had only met for a week, but the relationship between the two seemed to have been for many years. How could Merry be unhappy when he saw Alex treating his illness (vaginitis) despite the pain, but slowly the itching in the area of his urine began to disappear. Every day, he and his father bathe together. His father also taught him how to clean up after defecating large and small. He did not expect, the object that made him kicked (xylospongium) is actually the object used to clean the buttocks and even worse only disposable. For a moment his grudge against xylospongium disappeared and was replaced with pity.

"Dad is the best in the world."

"Yes, and my dear daughter is the most beautiful in the world."

Oh God. My master is already a slave to his son-I thought Justin.

Who could have guessed he was so spoiling this child!

Justin did not expect that his lazy master would attend training using aura in the family training room. It was clear this was one of the conditions of Count Harol to receive Merry's status.

Even after he finished training, he went straight to see his son!? 

Justin could no longer be surprised. Usually, this master will go to sleep immediately after doing heavy duty. Who would have guessed that his master still had the energy to directly run into his son.

"Merry, are you still hurting? Is it still hard to urinate?"

Alex suddenly became worried. He initially personally applied the medicine to eliminate Merry's disease. Although it looks better but Merry did not tell anything. So he had to take the initiative to ask first.

Alex could've asked the priest to treat Merry. But he also had to consider the priest's damn self-esteem. They would probably feel humiliated if they treated a slave. Of course Merry is no longer a slave but there is still no publication to the public about the current status of Merry. Alex is unlikely to wait for Merry's treatment after the Maturity Ceremony.

In addition, Alex also wants to avoid the use of blessings from other gods, especially from gods who are not archdeus. How despicable he was when he thought of himself having to ask for the help of created beings to bless his subordinates.

That's why he asked Justin to look for several types of D-level magic plans such as White Arsephenical sap, Giant Noctis Fruit, and Vexicile leaves. Of course because D and E level magicplans are low-level, the hang is quite cheap.

With his knowledge, he began to concoct all the ingredients and turn them into ointments and liquid medicine. Every day after Merry finished bathing, Alex would rub it on a swollen area and every day he would also ask Merry to take his syrup medicine.

Merry who heard the question worried her father answered honestly.

"Dad, sometimes Merry still feels pain but the taste has begun to diminish."

"Hmm ... Is that so? All right, I'm still gonna keep giving him, okay?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Good boy" said Alex, pinching his son's cheek.

Hah .. who would have thought I should be a father. And now I have to smile more. Hmm ... Come to think of it like I took care of Almadeus and Grand Alive when they were innocent kids.

Sheol chuckled at the thought of his past with the archdeus as a child. As the oldest archdeus, of course Sheol had to take care of his two foolish siblings.

Now they are adults. Huh ....

"Have Merry eaten? Let's eat with dad."

Merry's eyes sparkled brightly.

"Yes Dad!"

Alex then walks in with Merry still in his arms.

"Come on Erline!"

"Eh? Me?"

Erline who had forgotten was shocked by her name which was suddenly called by Merry.

"Dad, can Brother Erline eat with us?"

"of course. Justin you're coming too"

"Good Young Master. Thank you for your greatness" said Justin and Erline.

"Uh."

The four of them did not go to the dining room. Instead, they went to the garden table. If they were to eat in the dining room with two subordinates sitting at the same height as their master and a child who was still unrecognized, it would certainly make the masters especially Harol and Jared distracted. So they better choose to stay away from conflict.
