ARCHDEUS

NISHASHOP(6)

It was never imagined in Ryana's mind that the figure she was obsessed with, whom she respected, and loved lay helplessly in bed for more than two days. The night Alex is rushed to the temple becomes a scary time for Ryana. In front of his own eyes, he saw a motionless figure with blood enveloping the man.

Just then, Ryanas pupils shook and his heartbeat stopped. The world that colored his life as if it was empty was meaningless. He never expected, Alex's figure had been so strongly attached to his mind. Right, Alex is now a figure he will never forget. He will always remember her, love her, and take care of her even though that figure will never be his.

"Are you not tired, Miss Ryan?"

On top of that single bed, the figure he guarded day and night looked at him with the red eyes that were his trademark. A tall and mature man who has gone through critical times in his life.

Ryana was currently sitting on a chair located beside the bed. He shook his head when he heard Alex's question. He was with Alex for three days. He would only leave when priesthood class began, then return by Alex's side when it was all over. Even though Alex was unconscious, Ryana kept looking at him and looked at him with a warm gaze.

"No, Mr. Alex. Don'worry. I'm not tired at all."

Alex rarely expresses his expression to anyone except Merry. But he still has a sense of gratitude to Ryana who is always with him. During the critical times of her life, Ryana never left her side.

Alex was already gone. He was sincere if his mortal body finally died so that his vacation to Univorsum ended. But who would have thought, when he was rushed to the temple even though the Hight Priestess Feodora was not there, fortunately some priests and serkons (Young Map) were still there.

During the wait for the arrival of the high priestess, the priests assisted the serkons and discimpion (disciple) to give treatment by using a tier 4 divine type healing spell down. Thankfully Feodora managed to come on time so Alex could be healed with a tier 6 spell [Magna Healing].

"Sir Alex, are you hungry?"

"No, Miss Ryana, thank you."

Ryan became sad to hear Alex's reply. Alex has eaten nothing all day. Although her stomach is currently still weak because it has just been healed by magic, Feodora gives instructions to give the porridge to Alex.

The world has no infusion or anything of its kind that can replace the body's fluids and nutrients. So the only way to meet all the needs for nutrients and body fluids must still come from eating food or drinks.

Ryana is the one who volunteered as Alex's personal nurse. Although she is still a discimpion, but if you feed only Alex or other small things, Ryana can still do it. But until now Alex has not eaten anything.

"Mr Alex, you need to eat. Grandmaster says you'll get better quickly if you eat regularly."

Alex did not reply, he looked at Ryana seriously. Ryana who was looked at by the pair of red eyes and inside it became nervous. He had often looked at Alex but when stared at in silence like this, of course Ryana could not think clearly.

"No, thank you Miss Ryan. I don't have an appetite right now."

Alex's gaze gradually sluggish. He then turned his face away from Ryana. Alex stared at the plain wall in front of him. He is currently still in the temple so the ornament of this room is very different from his room.

Ryan became more and more moody. He can't force Alex but if Alex doesn't eat, then he will get sicker. Ryana had already brought the porridge and herbal drink to Alex but it was useless if Alex did not eat it.

"Then Mr Alex, is there anything you want?"

"No, there's no. I just don't want to eat right now. Sorry to bother you Miss Ryana."

Ryana grew more and more moody at Alex's second rejection. He wants Alex to know that he is a useful person, he also wants to be praised.

Can't you rely on me a little? Hah ... What should I do then?

Ryan doesn't know what to do now. This room became silent without the slightest conversation. Alex is not too disturbed because he actually really likes this quiet condition, it's soothing. But he knew that Ryana would definitely not be at home with the silence that continued to occur.

"Are you not busy Miss Ryana?"

"No, Mr. Alex, I'm not busy at all."

Alex decides to at least have a light chat with Ryana. It's like compensation for keeping it.

"Miss Ryana, if you don't mind, can I trouble you with a few questions?"

Ryana was immediately excited, didn't that mean she was going to chat with Alex? This is a rare moment where he can be alone with Alex without a single one to bother. Ryana nodded and heard all of Alex's questions carefully.

"Miss Ryana, that night I lost consciousness. I don't know my parents' condition. Is my mom okay?"

"Yes Mr. Alex. Madame Clara looks good, she's not hurt."

Of course Ryan will not tell Clara's condition when he sees Alex who is full of wounds. At that moment, Clara was very panicked, she kept crying and screaming until she finally fainted. On that night, the temple was so alive with a very loud cry of sorrow.

Suddenly Alex became moody. He recalled two children being arrested by the intruders. Although Alex passes out but sees that Alpha and Merry did not visit him, there is a possibility that they were kidnapped or maybe even ....

"Miss Ryana, about my son, how's he doing?"

Ryan was silent at the question. He is not ignorant, from the one he heard through Feodora and Clara, currently Merry and a boy he does not know his name have been kidnapped by the intruders. Ryana did not know the reason for the theft but he heard from the House of Fertiphile that it was likely that the two children were taken hostage for ransom. But until now there is still no word from the kidnappers about the ransom or even negotiations that will be carried out.

"I don't know Mr. Alex but ...."

Ryana's speech was incomplete so Alex asked in a much smoother voice than before. He anticipated all the possibilities.

It's a pity that both of my investment products will have to die. Hah .. Come on, maybe I should look for another one, Alex thought.

"What's Miss Ryana? No need to doubt, just say it. I'm ready to hear it."

Ryana hesitates to tell the truth but he is unlikely to lie to Alex.  Like it or not, he has to tell Alex the truth.

"Mr Alex, I heard that Miss Merry has been kidnapped by intruders. Sir please don't panic, I'm sure we can save him."

Ryan tried to calm Alex down. He knew for a fact Alex was devastated by this news.

"Isn't ...."

As Ryana thinks, Alex's condition is getting weaker. Not only that, Alex's eyes are getting so cute that it makes Ryan want to cry.

"Hiks .. hiks ..."

"Don't cry Miss Ryana. Like you said, we can definitely save him."

Alex is actually too lazy to clean Ryana's tears with his hands. He may be too tired to see the cliched happenings among the mortal where the guy would tear his lover with his bare hands.

Alex could not think of how many germs ended up lodged in the girl's face because it was touched by the man's unsterilized hands. At least Alex is not like that, he also thinks about Ryan's health instead of being romantic.

"Miss Ryana, clean your tears. Sorry, I didn't bring a handkerchief."

Ryan nodded unconsciously. He cleaned his face with his handkerchief. Then his gaze returned to Alex who still had a flat face.

Even at times like this he still comforts me when he should be the most sad.

Ryana couldn't help but be amazed by Alex's extremely firm determination. Even Alex's face showed no grief at all. What a tough guy. Now Ryana's assessment of Alex is getting higher and has even begun to reach the level of culturing.

Ryana did not know where this impulse came from but courage appeared in her words.

"Sir Alex, can you call me by a familiar call?"

Alex sees Ryanas eyes that are still watery and red from crying. In retrospect Ryana's face looks cute when crying, this looks like a little hamster figure. In addition, her red cheeks may be due to crying carrying the impression as if inviting others to pinch her cheeks.

Alex smiled at Ryana's condition, which was like a cute animal. Of course, that doesn't mean Alex gives favoritism through mere appearances. To Alex and the other archdeus, the thing that amazed and delighted them was someone's faith in them.

Ryana not only looks good but his determination in caring for Alex is worthy of appreciation. Alex felt no objection, this could be spelled out as part of the compensation for looking after him.

"Sure, then Ryana, I don't mind if you call me Alex either."

"Yes, of course Tu-Alex."

Ryan's tongue seems to be sprained because he is not used to directly mention the name Alex. But that makes it even more funny in Alex's view.

Alex chuckled, making Ryan even more embarrassed and blushing. But at the same time he was happy to see Alex's laughter is very rare.

Well, at least he's not sad anymore.

Ryana is happy to think that Alex is currently able to reduce her grief at losing Merry. Ryana wants to be a force for Alex, she will always be by his side to keep the smile and laughter of the man he loves.
