Chapter 7: The Others departed leaving me Alone Last Part

After Alex insulted Katherina the Second Princess of the Drexia Empire and left. The atmosphere inside the big hall became strange.

Strange, because one group had astonished expression on their faces (Katherina, Priscilla, Leonardo, and his crew, the two guards.) As for the second group, Maria and her two friends group were doing their utmost to hold back their laughter. They had passed two weeks in France for their holiday. It was because their holiday came to an end that they decided to return to Paris to take the plane back to Miami, alas things happened and now they are here. In those two weeks they passed in France cities, they often heard the sentence Alex said earlier, so they knew what it means. It was why they almost burst into laughter, well they were trying not to laugh.

However, soon Sakuya couldn't control herself anymore, so she burst into laughter, Maria followed suit and lastly, even Luna laughed as well.

Finally, Priscilla's curiosity won so she asked Maria what Alex said means.

Maria and the others, even Leonardo and his crew lips twitched.

After managing to control herself, Maria answered.

''Well, you know, sorry in advance for what I'm about to say. What Alex said means: Go, Fuck yourself, bitch.''

There was a long silence, Katherina expression turned extremely ugly, her eyes were about to spit fire. If Alex was present, Katherina may have killed him. The silence continued.

However, the one who broke the silence astonishingly was Priscilla, she laughed hard while holding her belly, finally she calmed down and say in a good mood.

''That one is good.''

Katherina glared at her big sister, the former first princess before saying with eyes filled with hatred. ''I'll kill him.''

'' I advised not to do anything you'll regret. No, don't even try it or you'll face my wrath, even father won't protect you. Do not try anything in this temple nor this forest. I hope you understand for your own good and as he said earlier, never look down on anyone.'' Priscilla advised while emitting pressure that makes Katherina and her two imperial guards tremble in fear.

Leonardo and others were astonished, they had never thought that the smiling priestess was this powerful.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Maria excused herself. Soon, Luna and Sakuya also did the same thing, going back to their respective rooms.

After leaving others in the big hall, Alex entered his room locking it before directly entering his bed.

Alex was angry, really angry but he felt refreshed after insulting that bitch Princess. She thought that she can look down on him because she's a princess of a big and powerful empire. Alex may be weak but it doesn't mean he would stay silent if you are insulting him, even though he didn't have any power or backing. He may lose his head but Alex will defend myself. He was not the type that endures in silence.

All of this was happening because he was too weak.

Therefore, He need to grow stronger fast enough. Alex was sure that Katherina will not let this matter slide like that. So, he need to become stronger before she could make any move against him. Stronger so nobody will dare to look down on him in the future.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

Alex heard knocking sounds when he was about to sleep.

''Who is it?" he asked in a displeased voice.

''It's me, Maria. So, can you open the door?"

''Oh! Maria, wait I'm coming.''

After saying that, Alex got up and walked towards the door, he opened and let Maria in.

She was dressed in a simple black robe. She looks beautiful, after offering her a chair Alex sat on his bed and asked why she was here.

''So, what brings My Lady here tonight?"

''Fufufu! Nothing too serious. I just wanted to see you one more time before leaving with that Princess Pétasse tomorrow.'' Maria responded.

''Ah! I see. Wish you good luck then.'' Alex replied. His reply was short.

Maria stopped smiling with a serious face she warned.

''I'll be direct. Alex, please do not act recklessly as you did today in the future. We not on Earth anymore. You may lose your head if you make any wrong move or say something you shouldn't'. I'm not saying that you should stay silent if somebody insulted you, but you just have to know how to speak or act in response. You're smart I'm sure you know what I'm implying.''

''Thank you for the advice. I won't forget it.'' Alex responded with a smile. He really appreciated his advice, this shows that there is someone who is concerned about him.

''That's reassuring then.''

Maria continued talking as she said.

''You have to work hard my self-proclaimed Knight. I hope I can count on you in the future. You can also count on me. Also, don't be discouraged because at the moment your gift is sealed.''

''How do you know that?" Alex interrupted Maria asked. He just wanted to know how she came to that conclusion.

''Simple, Goddess Mea had said if you don't feel any connection between you and your gift it's either your gift is sealed or it's useless. There's no way your gift is useless, so only one option remains. Your gift is sealed at the moment. Well, that's my conclusion and I know I'm right. I'm not dumb plus my instinct telling that your gift is more amazing than all our gifts. And I trust my instinct more than anything. It even helps Papa many times back in our world.''

As expected, she's smart more than Leonardo. Her instinct was truly sharp.

When Maria was talking about his father, she had a look of longing on her face but it disappeared quickly as it came.

Maria shook her head before saying.

''Anyhow, I'll be waiting for you at the Imperial capital. Come visit, the classes in the magical academy will start in Three months. I've secured you one invitation. Here take it.''

After saying that Maria handed to Alex an envelope with a golden seal on it.

''What usefulness do the classes in the academy will have on me who can not use magic?'' Alex asked bewildered.

''Well, I knew you could not use magic but I want you to take an adventurer course with me and the girls. If you graduate from there you can easily explore the High-Level Dungeons under the supervision of the empires. Or if you don't want to, You can wait until you are an A-class Adventurer before asking for a permit to explore them. Well, there's a lot of free small dungeons to visit if you don't like my proposition. I'll be happy if you come, the same for Sakuya and Luna, maybe we can form a team and explore a lot of Dungeons in the future. However, if you decide not to I won't blame you. It's up to you to decide Alexander.'' Maria said looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Truly speaking Alex tempted, Previously, he was planning to visit the Imperial capital after unsealing my Gift. Well, he need to visit the Academy because in the future he was planning to dive into famous dungeons after becoming an Adventurer.

''Ok, I'll come'' Alex answered and immediately stored the envelope in his item box.

''That's good then,'' Maria says with a smile.

The two chatted for a few minutes before Maria stood up and went back to her room.

The next day morning.

Alex was in front of the temple to see off Maria and her two best friends. He was not the only here, Priestess Priscilla and some other Priests were also present Leonardo and his crew were looking at him mockingly and Princess Katherina was glaring at him, Alex just smiled back in response. She sends him a vicious glare before entering her carriage, the white carriage Alex saw yesterday.

Leonardo and his crew also entered. It was now the turn of Maria and others. Maria smiled waving her hands before deciding to enter the carriage. Luna looked at Alex, she seemed to have something to say, however at the end she didn't say anything, she only smiled before boarding the carriage.

However, Sakuya suddenly disappeared and appear in front of Alex in flash, Alex was astonished, she lowered her head and whispered into his ears ''Work hard my future Knight.''

When Alex looked at her again she was already inside the carriage, they started talking as they closed the door.

They departed shortly after and soon they were out their sight.

Sakuya agility increased again, Alex didn't even see her before she was in front of him. Maybe the others are the same. They have progressed. Ah! I need to work harder. I'll also depart in a couple of days. Destination, Eria Town.' Alex decided.

After chatting a little with Priscilla, Alex started his morning jogging inside the peaceful forest. He need to train hard. The road toward the strongest is hard.
