As was Alex's habit before going to bed, he read several books. Of course, the books he read were books on science, especially social science. As an omniscient archdeus, of course Alex is very knowledgeable about all exact logic and humanities but sometimes he pays little attention to the small things about local wisdom.
The things Alex read were mostly about the concept of Hexatheism. As archdeus, Alex did not require cults from mortals and that is why Triarchdeus' theology had never been revealed to mortals and was only required to be immortal. In contrast, mortal only got revelation from the administrator gods, the gods in charge of the mortal world. Usually the administrator gods were field gods and regardless of the immortal realm (Heaven, Hereafter, Underworld, Empty) where they came from, the average administrator god is the lesser god (low-level god) and Hexatheism is one form of worship to some lesser god.
Thanks to reading the religious books, Alex understood several important concepts, one of which was the format of naming adopted children. As archdeus of course Alex has absolute memory and even if only a quick read, he will remember everything even to the punctuation and reading pages.
He is currently reading a book on the Adult Ceremony in Hexatheism. This book discusses the philosophy of ceremonial steps and their purpose in a religious or religious manner. It had been a few days that he had read this book because tomorrow he would have to go to the capital to attend the Maturity Ceremony.
Sheol as archdeus certainly felt humiliated because he had to get a blessing from the lesser god. But he cannot avoid it because at the moment he is Alex. If he avoided this ceremony, he was considered momentary and very likely to be hung on the town square by the temple party.
"Hah .. troublesome."
Alex closed the book and placed it beside the bed. He scrunched his forehead because he was feeling depressed. In the past few days due to his agreement with Harol, he had to get some hard training to master the aura and sword aura techniques of the original Fertiphile House called [La Lumiere du Phile]. Alex was quite respectful with the unyielding nature of Harol to his successors. The man with the muscle head was actually trying to make his children as swordmasters of aura. He does not discriminate his affection even to Alex who is a waste to the family.
"But this tormented me! I just want a vacation."
Alex threw away his uneasiness by continuing to chat on empty air.
"Hah .. Now I'm also a father."
Alex stared at a simple red flower bracelet on a table not far from his bed. The flowers had already withered but Alex did not plan on throwing them away at all. He might later make it his bookmark. He appreciated the hard work of his little girl.
"Maybe it's not there a second time."
Alex's empathy for Merry is none other than this because it's the first time Alex has seen slavery directly with her own eyes. Previously he only saw it from his omniscient point of view so that when he saw it as the first person, Alex's heart was really slashed to see the 7-year-old girl had to get physical, mental, and sexual violence.
However if he looked a second time, he would not be moved this time. He should not be too implicive because after all he should let the mortals develop naturally. He wouldn't bother them unless he profited from meddling or he got a loss from them.
The Merry value explicitly does not exist. Alex doesn't see his talent for fighting. Both his mana and his carrying aura were just average.
"Yahh .. maybe if she wanted to be a witch, it was better than being a knight."
But the rice has become porridge. With Alex intervening, the possibility of Merry's destiny has shifted. Most likely this will be an error in the data collection in Hereafter. It was possible that Hereafter's party would ask Heaven for an explanation on the matter.
Alex smiled at the thought of the immortals from the two worlds dizzy due to the trouble he had created.
"Yahh .. This is advice from the Almadues to go down to the Univorsum, don't blame me for the caliphate."
Jedarr!
The sound of lightning distracts Alex. He stared at the glass window partially covered by white curtains. He had not turned off the magic lights on the ceiling so he could clearly see that it was raining outside.
Alex presses the switch on the wall to turn off the magic light. The switches and lights are not connected via cable but wireless. The magician will create two mana circuts on the magic lamp and switch to produce wireless functions on both. To facilitate the charging of energy from magic lamps that require mana from which stone, the craftsmen use a switch as a place where stone is used to turn on magic lamp.
The room went dark and only the sleeping lights standing on the table were the main lights. Alex wrapped himself in a blanket. Today will be a cold day, surely his sleep will be very good.
Tok ... tok ....
Not for an hour he closed his eyes, a knock on the door of his room immediately made Alex back awake. He was clearly upset, how evil was the person who woke him up at a time like this. That person should have a good reason, otherwise Alex would have made his life look like it was in Hell.
Alex turns on the magic lamp and gets out of his bed. He walked to the door and opened it.
The person waiting for Alex behind the door was a little girl with brown hair and was hugging her beloved brown teddy bear. He was wearing white pajamas and his long hair was a bit messy.
"Merry, what's wrong?"
This is the first time Merry comes to Alex's room at night. Alex was surprised.
"Dad ...."
Merry was embarrassed to say it. When rain and lightning appeared, Merry recalled the times when he was still a slave. Except when his former master had a certain purpose in his body, Merry was not allowed to sleep in his master's room or in any other room. The little girl usually sleeps in the stables where the guests of the inn leave their horses.
Every time it rains, Merry will be rained and cold because the roof of the cage is leaking. He did not want to remember those sad times. A moment later he remembered his father. Since they were already father and son isn't it natural for Merry to sleep in her father's room? But won't his father be angry? Did his father allow it?
Without feeling, Merry was already at the door of his father's room. From under the door, he could see the light from inside the room. The lights in the room were still on, meaning her father was still not asleep. But he did not dare to knock it. He continued to stand there quietly until the room lights finally went out.
Merry's heart was racing. Her father is asleep. He doesn't want to disturb her. Yet he continued to stand there in a dilemma for almost an hour. Until finally the desire to be spoiled dominates him. Nervously, Merry knocked on his father's door.
The room light was lit, footsteps rang out, and the door was slowly opened. Merry's heart was beating more and more when he saw the figure of a tall man in front of him. That handsome figure was his beloved father.
"What's up Merry? You don't have to be afraid."
Alex looked down a little and stroked his son's hair. He also did not forget to smile.
Merry tightened the grip on her teddy bear before she spoke.
"A-dad, Merry wants to sleep with Dad .. A-can't you?"
Alex saw a nervousness on his son's face. She could not help but laugh and directly carried her child.
"Of course, what's impossible for my dear daughter."
Alex took Merry to his bed. He embraced and embraced her.
Merry was surprised by how easily she could sleep in her father's room. He felt as if his nervousness was useless. The two people looked on with friendly faces and smiles.
"Dad!"
Merry hugged Alex tightly. He held his face on his father's chest.
It's warm!
He had never felt a sense of peace, comfort, and safety from the embrace of others before. It felt like all his fears and bad memories were lost in the arms of his beloved father.
Merry felt her father's soft elusan on her back.
"Sleep, tomorrow we have to go to the capital, remember?"
Merry did not reply but nodded in Alex's arms. He did not want to be separated from this man's warm embrace. Merry further soaked his face and tightened his embrace like an octopus.
Alex smiled a little.
Hah .. now he's been sticking this to me. I think I should find a job.
Alex can't help but be afraid when he thinks about his future. He initially wanted to live lazily and become unemployed. But now he is taking the life of a girl. Alex is not confident to win the succession process inherited from his father. If his brother gets the title and property from his father, Alex's alimony is likely to be cut off.
If to live alone he had no problem with the allowance but now he had to feed his son.
Not to mention the tuition and the wedding .. hah ....
Alex breathed a sigh. He may have to work overtime like a horse to fulfill his son's life.
Nah! Right now my pocket money is still surplus. Aye! Why not just be an investor?Hahahaha yahhh .. It is better to invest early on!
Alex has already decided that he will be a successful young investor. This was to avoid him from the extremely tiring workers ahead of him.
Alex raised his hand slowly to not bother Merry. He then pressed the switch on the wall to make the lights go off.
They both slept peacefully ....
