ARCHDEUS

TRIP TO THE CAPITAL CITY (1)

Morning dew in the grass reflects the light of the sun that has colored the earth and illuminates the earth. Four carriages each pulled by a pair of horses were neatly parked in the front yard of the Fetiphile House. The emblem of the holy hexagon coupled with the flag showing the symbol of the temple branch has become a distinctive identity to know that the owners of these four chariots are the people of the Presbhenon of Fertihall.

Lacey Edwina Lanyard looked at the shape of the mansion with an amazed expression. To him who was only the son of a small baron, this mansion was already like a palace. Lacey has seventeen brothers. His father was polygamous with five wives and his mother was the fourth wife. She is the third child of the same mother and becomes the fourteenth child if counting all the other siblings.

Lacey since childhood has lacked affection. Not to mention his father often gave political marriages to his children to gain more power. That's why he tried to stay away, he didn't want anyone else to manage his life. He preferred to make a career in the temple rather than inherit his noble background.

He often thought, whether the children of high nobles get the same problem as him. If he was not mistaken, the Count of Fertiphile had two wives and three children. Lacey momentarily felt sorry for the slave girl she had seen some time ago in the market. The little girl was now a slave in this big house. His heart ached at the thought of the girl who lived in the palace house having to live tormented life day and night.

"Lacey, what's wrong?"

A blonde woman got off the train and immediately approached the sad looking Lacey. He is his best friend, Ryan.

"No, I was just thinking about the little girl we met at the market a few days ago."

"G ...."

Ryan couldn't help but pity the girl either. The girl had become a slave at such a small age.

"Don't worry, if it's fate, we can definitely see it again" Ryana said.

Lacey nodded softly. He was quite pessimistic about the incident. However he had guessed the unfortunate fate of the girl who was now a slave to the eldest son of the count who was famous as trash. Lacey was sure the man would treat her slave cruelly.

Lacey closed her eyes and prayed for the little girl's safety.

"Dad! daddy!"

Lacey heard a little familiar voice.

Now I can hear his voice

"Dad, hold it."

Now he's acting spoiled with his parents. Have you met your parents in nature?

"Dad is so handsome!"

Lookie! You're so happy there now little girl. Yes, the world is too cruel for you. Calm down in nature.

Lecey thought she heard the voice of the little girl she met in the market. Lacey was praying, she suspected it was the voice of a little girl who had gone in peace from this world after experiencing injustice. Tears of sadness and sorrow flowed down her cheeks. He prayed for the best for the little girl in nature.

"Sister, why are you crying?"

"Hhhh!"

Lacey instantly widened her eyes and jumped in fear. Lacey was goosebumps when she heard the little girl's voice talking to her. He wondered if the girl's spirit had turned into an evil spirit and haunted people he had known.

But in front of his own eyes he saw a beautiful girl who looked clean being carried by a young and tall man.

"You-you?"

"Sister, we meet again."

The girl smiled brightly. Different from the first time they met, the girl looked very lively and happy.

"Little girl!"

Lacey ran over and wanted to hug the little boy. But he stopped in the middle of the road when he saw the person who was holding the girl gently.

T-lord Alexander!

Lacey had no idea how strange this state of affairs was in front of her. The haughty and expressionless noble person he met a few days ago in the market was now the morning sun that shone with a big smile? What's the matter?

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Lanyard ."

Lacey realized her irreverence by letting Alex who had a higher status than her greet him first. Embarrassed, Lacey salutes her temple and says her introduction;

"It is an honor for the servant to meet the Eldest Young Master of the Fertiphile. Please forgive me for the immodesty of the previous servant."

Then Ryana who just stood still saw the stupidity of her best friend saluted Alex. But his face was as red as a tomato and he dared not look at Alex's face.

"It's nice to meet you, Fertiphile's Oldest Young Master. It's destiny for us to meet again and it's an honor for the servant."

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Rayself. It is also an honor for me to be able to reunite with both noble women."

Ryana didn't know since when but when she saw Alex today and when the man smiled, it was as if he saw the moonlight. Alex's face did not look warm but cold like a quiet night and his smile made his night face as if illuminated by the light of the full moon.

The moonlight, however long it is seen, will not make the eyes sore.

Moonlight that does not warm and does not affect anything.

The moonlight that only illuminated the path was pitch-black and shone among the twinkling rays of stars.

How beautiful that face is! And the most important thing for Ryan is ....

She's a virgin!

Aye! Ryan never misjudges people, especially men. He could easily recognize the virgins and those who did not. It was like his very strange instinct. Ever since she first met Alex, Ryana at first sight had paid her respects. Now, after this man smiled sincerely, Ryanas heart seemed to have exploded.

"It seems you've been waiting a long time."

Everyone's attention now turned to that soft voice. The voice came from a beautiful blonde woman. She smiled, on her right was her husband and on the left was an old priestess.

"Father, Mother, Mother Liana, Lady High Priestess Feodora."

Count Fetipihile, Countess Fertiphile and Lady Fertiphile! think all discimpion.

Alex saluted then followed by everyone. Besides her, Ryana, and Lacey, there were five female discimpion waiting outside as well.

Everyone has gathered. Harol did not go to the capital because of his busy life as the ruler of the county. He personally met these people because to release his family's departure to the capital. As for Liana, she also did not leave on the grounds of her health but it was actually because she did not want to see Alex. He was so happy Alex left and hoped the boy would never come back.

Three other horse carriages approached. These cars belong to the Fertiphile House.

Alex and Clara say goodbye to the Count and the Countess.

"I'm leaving, honey," said Clara.

"Hmm, take care of yourself" said Harol.

The two embrace and Harol kisses his first wife's forehead.

"Liana, blah blah blah .. I'm gone."

"Be careful. blah blah blah ...."

As a normal woman. Clara said goodbye to Liana with the two saying a lot of pleasantries. However the hypocrisy of Liana was neatly covered in her face. He put on a sad face so Clara didn't see him.

Alex also said goodbye to Harol and Liana. Harol, though, is sometimes irritated by his eldest son. But his affection remains sincere. However, he still did not want to see Alex's adopted son. Harol until now did not acknowledge the existence of Merry.

Liana still hid her hypocrisy by putting on a sad face to Alex. Alex is different from Clara. He was not deceived but instead he put on a face that was also hypocritical.

Clara, Alex, Merry, and the High Priestess ride on the same train. While Lacey and Ryana both ride on one of the trains for the discimpion. Coincidentally or not, the priests brought by High Priestess Feodora were women. So the men were just Alex, Justin, some male servants from the Fertiphile House, temple warriors, and the soldiers of the Fertiphile House.

After everything entered, the seven carriages moved away from the count's residence. They went to the capital with different goals.

Alex, Clara, and the members of the Fertiphile House go to the capital to hold a Maturity Ceremony for Alex.

The High Priestess Feodora and the members of the Presbhenon of Fertihall went to the capital for the sake of Ryana.
