Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 46: Daisy

Alex and some of his colleagues helped residents hiding in the basement of the house of worship to get out, because the wooden stairs of the room was crushed by an iron door. With Alex's strength, the demons that entered the city could be exterminated quickly, they immediately evacuated the residents who had taken shelter in the basement.

Luckily, the giant demon arm cutout was able to be used by adults to climb out, while parents, women and children needed a little help to climb up.

Survivors looked around, many buildings collapsed due to the impact of tree trunks or large stones. Of course it was the actions of the giant demons, they were also the ones responsible for the collapse of the city's defenses in a short period of time.

Some of the soldiers who served in the city survived, they retreated after the city fortress collapsed due to the large rocks thrown by the giant demons, they said, they were considered to be offenses because their retreat made other demons enter the city and caused damage.

Some of the residents were victims, they were residents who chose to take shelter at home, he said, most of them died in the rubble because the dungeons they had made were not strong enough to withstand the throwing of stones or the weight of a gigantic demon body.

"We can't save everyone." Someone patted Alex on the shoulder staring at the corpse of a child being removed from the rubble, he was the leader of Alex's unit on this mission.

"I understand, but I can never get used to this sight, Captain Peter."

"If you're used to dong's horror."

Alex smiled slightly at Peter's words, although the smile felt empty because of the look in his eyes that always looked far away somewhere. Alex's facial complexion had already changed a lot after he went through many battles and lost comrades.

"Nobody's used to war, son. There would never be, if there were, then they were the damned demons."

Peter then pointed towards the survivors. "Thanks to you, those people can still smile, though probably not for now. Remember the people you saved, those who died were not dead because of your fault. Understood?"

Peter tapped on Alex's armour several times, then a small smile was seen on Alex's face. "I understand, captain. Thank you very much."

Although his lips were flattering a small smile, but Alex's eyes still looked misty, various feelings were raging in his mind.

Peter breathed. "You said your family was in the north, right? Have you exchanged letters?"

"Yes, they were moved to a nearby town to evacuate during the war."

"Goodoo. Unfortunately, with conditions like this, it would be very unlikely if you applied for leave. At least you often send letters, if necessary send some of your salary to your family. If only you could run like the Crown Prince would be another story."

"true." Alex only answered briefly, Peter sighed again, he then patted Alex on the shoulder before walking towards where his troops were gathered.

Alex walked away from that location, being in that place made his mood even worse. He decided to sit in the ruins of a house of worship some distance away from others, his mood was a little better when he was in the house of worship because he had managed to save everyone who had taken shelter there. Not because he is religious.

Leaving his mind dissolved while gazing at the view of the mountains in the distance, Alex took out a cigar and began to ignite it. At times like this, the fairies would usually go out and talk to Alex, but due to his psychic condition a little chaotic since Adrian's death, they prefer to let Alex alone.

As Alex was drowning in his daydream, suddenly a child had been standing before him for some time, he turned off his cigar and put it in his pouch, then leaned towards the child and tried to smile at the child.

"What's wrong?"

The boy is seen hiding something behind his back, Alex immediately knows that the boy wants to give something to him but hesitates because he is either embarrassed or afraid.

"I'm Alex, what's your name?" Alex asked him.

The boy looked excited, his eyes moving to and fro out of nervousness. "Uh ... My name is Daisy ...."

Looking at his behavior, without realizing a smile on Alex's face, he stroked the boy's head.

"Your braids look beautiful, you remind me of a colleague of mine. Who's braiding your hair?"

"Mother braided my hair! She's very good at making hair!" The boy named Daisy suddenly became enthusiastic after Alex commented on her hair.

"really? Then, where's your mother?" For a moment Alex regretted asking that question, because it could be that Daisy had lost her mother and Alex's question would have hurt the child.

But she smiles again with relief after seeing Daisy pointing to a place where some women gather, even though she doesn't know which woman Daisy points to.

"Keep, what are you doing here?" Alex asks while pretending to peek behind Daisy's back, the boy becomes a little panicked and tilts his body to the other side, not letting Alex peek.

"Nm ... Anu ...." After a moment of hesitation, Daisy finally showed something she had been hiding.

"It's for sister." Alex stared for a moment at Daisy's gift, it was a wooden necklace carved in such a way as to form a flower.

The boy nodded steadily. "Thanks brother, I can survive. If you hadn't come, my mom and I would have died. Dad would be sad if he came home and didn't find us here."

"Did your father make this?"

"Really! Dad is very good at making carvings like this, he also once carved our family statue!" Daisy always gets excited when she talks about her parents, it seems like they really love Daisy.

"But dad is working in another city, he can't go home because demons can show up at any time."

Alex, touched by the boy's innocence, once again stroked Daisy's head. "I will try to get the demons to leave immediately and you can meet again."

Daisy's eyes sparkled at Alex's words, although she was not sure if the demons could really be defeated, but at least she wanted to ease the fears of the innocent child before her.

Alex reaches into his pocket and thrusts it into Daisy. "Thank you for the necklace, instead, I'll give you this."

"Brown!" Excited Daisy was excited to receive the chocolate.

"Sister still eats chocolate? My brother is an adult." Daisy asked as she chewed the chocolate in her mouth.

Alex chuckles at Daisy's troubled face, but she just ate one. "My partner gave it to me, he's the one I said had a braid similar to yours?"

Daisy's eyes are growing. "There's an older sister who's a soldier?! Is she strong like a sister?"

Alex again laughed unconsciously. "He's so strong, I might lose against him."

Daisy wah long. "What strong?" He's getting more enthusiastic.

"Hm ... Do you remember that giant demon? If only his brother's friend had stepped on his foot, the demon would have screamed in pain."

Daisy laughed at Alex's parable. "Gee ... That brother must be very strong. I also want to be strong like that, so that I can protect my father and mother from the devil."

Alex just smiled wryly, he didn't want to agree with the little girl's expectations, because as if he said that this war would continue until Daisy grew up, it wasn't something good to say.

After that, Daisy asks Alex to tell her more about her other colleagues, Daisy is really excited when Alex tells her about their strengths.

Like Edwin who could see the movements become slow, Theodore who moved as fast as lightning, Alicia who was very strong, Brian who was able to change his size, Brenda who was like the goddess of war in the fairy tale.

Daisy immediately idolizes them once she hears Alex's story, especially Alicia, it seems like this child is somewhat obsessed with Alicia's figure, maybe because Alex says he has a braid similar to Alicia.

"Then what power of brother? How could you cut off the body of the great demon just now?"

Alex thought for a moment, then called out to one of the fairies in the shape of a pigeon in white and beautiful blue wings, Daisy was surprised that the fairy just appeared before her. But then he put on a puzzled face, as if saying, 'That's doang?'

"Have you ever tried flying?"

"Not yet! Don't you think you can fly?!"

Alex orders the elf to lift Daisy's body using the power of the wind, only about half a meter from the ground, but Daisy is glad it's not playing.

"WAHH! HOW GREAT! ALEX IS GREAT!"

Rather than showing fairies in the form of ferocious beasts with destructive power, it was better to show one like this. After all summoning a top grade elf takes up a lot of energy.

Moments later, a woman among the crowd of women calls out Daisy's name, apparently her mother.

Daisy seems reluctant to go to her mother, but Alex offers Daisy to fly to her mother's place, of course the child immediately agrees Alex's offer with excitement, Alex also gives her more chocolate before flying Daisy to her mother's place.

She exclaims with joy while flying towards her mother's place, making the other children look at Daisy with envious gazes, she and her mother look down from a distance to say thank you after Daisy gets there.

Alex also moves to where Peter and the others are while re-igniting his dead cigar.

Peter seems interested in seeing the necklace that Alex wears. "That kid gave you a gift, didn't he? Hm ... Daisy flower, huh? Nice necklace."
