Chapter 75: Zircodina 1
75 Zircodina 1
Meanwhile, in the Zircodina Kingdom.
One of the soldiers gives their reports on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, we failed to assassinate the current demon lord"
"Current demon lord? What are you thinking you fool? If you managed to finish that demon first we can finish this war fastly"
"We...We thought he was some normal demon spy. So we only let some rank 5 to chase him."
"You... How can you make a blunder like that, guard I don't want to see this person here" The king said, frustrated.
After the soldier left the palace hall, the king turned to the side "How is the hero?"
"He...he..." The minister didn't know what to say
"Sigh...The hero becomes so useless for us now. Luckily, that old man still protect my daughter"
After he had been beaten by Alex, the hero become mentally unstable. When he woke up the first time and know what happened. He made a ruckus in the journey. ?He has often beaten the archmage and the sage, Sandra and Ayaka. The princess was also almost beaten by him but he was hindered by the old marshall, which is the princess teacher.
At first, he, the king, engaged his daughter to control the hero. Ever since he noticed the lustful personalities in this hero, he thought using this, he can easily manipulate the hero. And of course, when the princess was summoned back, the old marshall who always accompanying her also followed her back.
When the princess comes back to the castle, she who was even prettier than the archmage and the sage become the target of the hero. Since the king knows about it, he made an engagement between them. but he made a few conditions. First, the hero can't touch her before they married. Second, the marriage will be held as soon as they win the war.
The princess was disgusted with the hero at first. But seeing him become stronger at a fast speed, she reluctantly agreed for her kingdom. Luckily, her father already made an arrangement where he can't touch her at the moment. Or she can't imagine what will happen to her next.
The hero raised his power at a fast speed. All of it because he got a big status at the start. His leveling up was the effort from the soldiers who helped him. The soldiers fight the monsters first then the hero will finish them. thus giving the hero a massive amount of experience to level up.
The hero was trained by the captain of the royal guard. Except for his high status, the captain was disappointed, whether in his fighting skill, character, etc. especially his lust and his love for boasting. Well, the captain continued to train him as the order of the king, the hero seems easy to manipulate. If he can reach rank 8 or even rank 9, it will be a very big boost to the kingdom. And he who manipulates him will rip the best reward.
But everything was crumbled when Alexander beat him. Alexander, who he thinks so useless back then, he even personally agreed with the hero to expel Alexander who was a burden and banished him from the castle.
He thought, Alexander would be useless and die somewhere with his status, so when Alex asked for a few gold coins for survival he agree to it easily, he thought even Alexander have a few gold coins, what can he do alone with that status. The best possible outcome was for him to become a merchant. If he was somewhat useful, he can control Alexander with the power of the kingdom.
It will be two bird in one stone if that happens. He just gives Alexander a few gold coins, and he becomes a merchant with a big profit. If that happened and he controls Alex with his power, then it becomes the best. He didn't know what kind of knowledge in the Earth. He thought with Alex's calm personality he can become a good merchant since it was practically impossible to become a warrior with his current status points. A merchant needs a calm personality which Alex had.
But he never thought that Alex chose the impossible in his thought. Not only Alex becomes strong, even stronger than the hero, he also becomes one of the most important young people in the Acacia Kingdom, the dean's student. The dean won't accept him if Alex didn't have any potential or strength, so he sure Alex was 'Strong enough' before he becomes the dean's student.
He started to regret that he personally banished Alex away from here. The status card only gives you the current status points, not their personalities, not their skill, nor their potential. He regretted that he accepts the hero wishes to expel Alex. if Alex was groomed by him, of course, he will have an attachment to this kingdom and he can slowly manipulate Alex since with Alex's personalities he might need more time. But all of it will be worth it.
"How about that person?" He then asked the minister.
'That Person' in his mouth was obviously Alex. He asked for all the reports about Alex that he can get.
"Ha! This the report of Alexander Sirius"
"Alexander Sirius was summoned here a year ago. He was banished from here in the next day. He then registered as an adventurer in the adventurer guild in this city. He then went to Alisia Forest. The report said he was in the forest for two months. Then he went toward the Acacia kingdom. He got inside the duke, Rizertia, house after he arrived at the kingdom and lived there.
According to the report, it said that Alex met The third princess of Acacia Kingdom, Princess Alicia when she went back after she comes here. In the current situation, his relationship with Princess Alicia was very close. He also got close to another female from an earl house. He becomes the acacia royal academy's dean student as soon as he got there.
He was crowned as the strongest of the first-year students when he got there. Then when the first academy event, he got the first place from all of the first-year students, and number 9 from the whole academy. According to our spy, he killed a rank 5 monster in that event, how he did that was unclear. "
"Unclear huh..." The king sighed, "Continue"
"Ha! At the second event of the academy that having their student to dive inside the dungeon. He placed at number one, apparently, he was also a gold rank hunter"
"Gold Rank!" King unconsciously released his aura.
The minister face's become pale. Alex as a gold rank hunter means so much after all. If Alex was a gold rank hunter, that means Alex had killed a rank 5 monsters in the dungeon. Whether he did it alone or in a group, he surely killed a rank 5 monster. Even he killed it with a group, what can a group of first-year students do to a rank 5 monster. To add it, Alex was the strongest of the first-year students, that means even in a group, Alex was the one who contributed the most.
"Continue" The king said hoarsely.
"Ha! After that event, we didn't detect any big movement from him. The latest was when he bea... defeat our hero"
After the minister said that, the king's expression turned to dark.
That day, after Alex defeated the hero. He becomes the center of attention. They can get away from humiliation if they admitted that the hero only trained for a year after all. But the foolish thing that happened back then was when the hero made a ruckus in the arena. Even the archmage and the sage follow the suit.
He blatantly showed his lust in front of many people. Many people were disgusted by this hero. And Zircodina who summoned and groom him also get their reputation destroyed. Since he also engaged his daughter to him. But that is not the worst thing.
The worst thing was when they know the relationship between Alex and the hero along with his companions. The hero was Alex's former best friend. While the worst thing was Sandra who was his ex-lover(?). everybody thinks that was foolish of her since he chose the hero instead of Alex. After all the difference was very huge, whether in personalities and power.
After Alex defeat them and even cut 'that part' of the hero. The Zircodina become a laughing stock, The hero reached rank 3 within a year. But Alex reached rank 5 at the same time. And he, the king personally banished him.
Now the hero called by many names, though there is no one in the kingdom dares to tell it face to face, but the name was still around. The names were 'The eunuch', 'Hero Saving a eunuch', 'Saving beauty in distress? For what?' and many others. While he himself was called 'Foolish King' because of this incident.
He wanted to personally head toward Acacia Kingdom with an army demanding Alex. But he was occupied with the war, he can't. He was stressed by this matter so much.
"Your Majesty... What should we do?"
The king put his finger in his forehead. He pondered for a moment "We were occupied with this war. I thought of sending assassins but, If the assassination failed and he along with Acacia Kingdom know that we are the one who sends them. Our relation would become the worst. If he becomes stronger in the future, then he might destroy this kingdom. After all this incident, I'm sure Acacia Kingdom will protect him unless they are a fool.
Our relation was still repairable. Hmm... Are there any noble daughters that currently studying at Acacia Royal Academy?"
"Yes, a few of them" The minister answered.
"Make them have contacts with him. It will be best if one or two of them managed to seduce him."
"But...won't Acacia kingdom thought of that too?"
"Just do it, it won't do any wrong if they failed. Acacia kingdom can't blame the girls. After all, Alexander currently in the spotlight."
"Ha! I will notify all of them"
The king nodded. but suddenly,
"BANG!"
The hall's door was opened. A soldier came in rush. He kneeled in front of the king.
"Your Majesty, there is a news"
The king frowned, "Say it"
"Ha! Our spy just sends back a piece of information. It seems Alexander was gravely injured and his current situation still unknown."
The king frowned, "Good work, you can return" Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,
"What should we do your majesty?" The minister asked.
"Even if we send our doctor there. They need a long time to get there, even a rank 7 need more than a week flying toward there. We will wait and see first if Acacia kingdom can't handle the situation, they will surely ask for help. When that time comes, we can send our doctors. At that time, our relationship will mend to be better. We can also send that 'priestess' to heal him."
"Understood"
The priestess in his mouth was obviously Maria Fergina, Sandra's childhood friend.
