Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 267 - 254: Troublesome things

Deep in the night, Capital of the Holy Crux Empire.

The pope was conversing with someone shrouded by a mist; only this personʼs voice could be heard; itʼs a male voice.

ʼʼYour son got beaten up badly. He couldnʼt even make it to the final, how pathetic.ʼʼ the mysterious person mocked.

The Popeʼs expression didnʼt change; he still wore his gentle smile.

Seeing that the Pope was not going to say something, the mysterious man clicked his tongue.

ʼʼTch! Forget it. From the report, he didnʼt manage to make any progress with the Saintess. To make matters worse, the Saintess became someone else fiancée, the Eighth fiancée. This boy is becoming more troublesome. Letʼs watch for now.

We shall take care of him once, making sure that he canʼt be used.ʼʼ

The Popeʼs response was a smile. The mysterious man got more annoyed.

ʼʼEven though the Saintess lost her innocence, she still can be used. Ensure to secure the Saintess successfully; the Goddess doesnʼt want any more mishap to occur and delay her plan. Think of a way to get that girl, or else you know what will happen if you donʼt.ʼʼ The mysterious man threatened the Pope hoping to see a reaction. Unfortunately, nothing happened.

ʼʼTch!”

The mysterious man clicked his tongue and vanished.

After the mysterious man left, the Pope sighed.

ʼʼHow bothersome. I must follow the orders.ʼʼ the Pope muttered.

The mysterious man who was still hiding harrumphed before disappearing; however, this time, he was gone for good.

The Popeʼs expression turned ugly after the mysterious manʼs presence was gone.

ʼʼIf not because of you getting a preferential treatment, I would have crushed you the moment you acted arrogantly in front of me.ʼʼ

A little bit of the Popeʼs aura was leaked out, and it crushed the stone table into a powder.

Controlling his anger, the Pope sighed.

ʼʼI guess Iʼm getting old. To think I would have lost my cool so easily. Ah! Forget it. I must think of a way to make Lunaʼs capture successful.ʼʼ The Pope murmured before leaving the room.

Shortly after he left, two shadows appeared and moved in his direction. The Pope wasnʼt shocked by their arrival; one of the shadows extended a black envelope to the Pope.

After quickly scanning the content of the black envelope, the Popeʼs expression distorted for a moment before going back to normal again.

ʼʼJust watch for now.ʼʼ The Pope ordered.

The shadows nodded before leaving.

ʼʼSigh! I hope everything goes well. Itʼs a shame that things ended like this. Only if I could go back in time, forget it.ʼʼ the Pope mumbled as he disappeared into his chamber.

•••••

The following morning Alex woke up with Luna nestled in his chest like a little kitten.

ʼʼHow cute.ʼʼ He couldnʼt help but said this.

Chuckling after observing Luna for a moment, Alex moved away from the few strands of hair overlapping her face behind her ears and gave her a soft peck on the forehead before leaving for the bathroom.

After freshening up, Alex stepped into the hall for breakfast. There, he saw Gracier and Silveria sitting; they were waiting for him. After exchanging greeting, their ate their breakfast.

Luna woke up one hour later. She joined Alex and Gracier after taking her breakfast.

The three left the villa for the academy; today was the date they would depart toward the dungeons.

A few minutes later, the three joined the other students waiting for their teachers to announce what dungeon they got assigned to.

ʼʼToo bad we wonʼt be saying in the same group. Donʼt worry; I will protect your sister as if she was my own if I came across her.ʼʼ Leon promised, although they wonʼt be staying together in this dungeon exploration, Leon still made this promise as he noticed Alexʼs concern for his sister.

ʼʼThank you. Donʼt worry; we will have all the time in the world to explore dungeons later.ʼʼ Alex slapped Leonʼs shoulders while saying this.

Ferris chuckled before shaking his head. He wanted to explore dungeons with Alex, but he didnʼt say anything as he believed they would be a chance later. When Ferris remembered what his father said, he couldnʼt help but sigh and look at her sister.

Even though Eris appeared to be talking with the other girlʼs face full of smile, you can see that her smile was slightly unnatural, a bit forced because she was preoccupied with the order they received a few days ago.

ʼTry to get close to the Eighth no matter what.ʼ

Their fatherʼs order couldnʼt be more explicit (Become Alexʼs woman).

While as the future ruler, Ferris understood this decision, like a big brother, he could not accept it. However, he knew nothing could be done about it. Being born as royalty comes with shackles; because Eris couldnʼt inherit the throne, she can only be used like this. A political marriage. It was to draw Alex to their side. Even if it doesnʼt work, at least they could get Alexʼs descendant.

All other forces are thinking of a method to win Alex over.

ʼʼHow troublesome. Sometimes I wish I was born mortal; I will be free.ʼʼ Ferris muttered.

Only if he knew that mortal also wishes to have the life he has because he thinks he is suffering too much.

ʼʼSigh! Eris, do your best.ʼʼ Ferris silently cheered his sister, completely unaware that Alex had heard him. He noticed the siblingʼs unusualness and added what he just heard, and with Erisʼs sudden interest in Luna, Alex could understand what was going on.

ʼSigh! Indeed how troublesome. I knew my performance during the Mock battles was bound to attract some unwanted attention, but I didnʼt think it would be this soon and this way. Well, I can approach her and say something after understanding whatʼs going on, but I think it will be unwise.

I donʼt know what type of girl Eris is as I didnʼt interact too much with her; she may become furious thinking Iʼm looking down on her; in this case, she would want to become my woman at all cost to prove to me that I was wrong. I donʼt want this to happen. In the second case, after hearing my words, she may start having feelings for me because I was concerned; I didnʼt want her to fall for me.

It will be troublesome either way; better observe and deal with the situation accordingly.ʼ Alex analyzed and concluded that not doing anything until Eris approached him was the best solution.

Leon, who was observing Alex, couldnʼt help but sigh, as the most substantial empire on the beastman continent, they knew what Wolfang empire planned; in fact, if not because of his friendship with Alex, Leon was sure that his father or someone in the counsel would have suggested marrying his sister to Alex.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, no matter what you decide to do, I will help you,ʼʼ Leon whispered into Alexʼs ears.

Alex smiled at his friend.

〖This fellow is sure interesting. Usually, with such a body, his love for battle, he shouldnʼt be wise, and yet this one is quite intelligent, almost more brilliant than you.〗Silveria commented.

ʼWell, thereʼs always an exception.ʼ Alex said.

〖By the way, Master, what are you planning to do about that wolf girl-〗

ʼNothing.ʼ Alex cut Silveria off as he knew where she was going.

〖Fufufu! As Harem king, you ought to make a move first and collect all beautiful women before others.〗Silveria suggested, she sounds like a passionate master trying to force his disciple on the road of depravity.

ʼSorry, Iʼm not that type of person. Although itʼs true, I plan to have a harem, but the number of women I will have would be limited. I wonʼt go after every woman I saw; my hips wonʼt take it, and I doubt I will be able to love them all.

When you have too many women, this can not be considered love anymore but a physical relationship; you see something in them, and after getting bored, you will discard them. I donʼt want this kind of relationship. If I have five women, I will love them all, not equally, of course, as this kind thing is impossible because you are bound to love one than the others, itʼs natural, and itʼs human.

So, no, donʼt count me in; lets me have few women of my liking rather going after every woman and end up neglecting some. I wouldnʼt last long if this were to happen. The neglected women may stab me during my sleep.ʼ

Alexʼs refusal was automatic; he never planned to have a big harem, to begin with. He never understood those wuxia protagonists that go after every woman they saw and end up neglecting some; it is hard for the readers to remember all of them. Well, he plans for a small Harem.

〖Sigh! How disappointing, you see a glorious road of you, and yet you refuse to take it.〗Silveria lamented when she understood that her master wasnʼt going to follow her advice. She was not the only one, though, strangely Silveriaʼs big sister was also disappointed; however, she didnʼt give up hope, at least not yet.

ʼTurn into man and create your big harem. Iʼm cheering for you.ʼ Alex mocked her.

Silveria pouted and started cursing. Ignoring her, Alex resumes his discussion with Leon and Ferris while waiting for Chrisʼs arrival.
