Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 156 - 154: Even If It Takes Thousand Years

While Alex was recounting what happened on their way here, Gracier was happily chatting with Silveria, she was talking about what she had seen, how beautiful Avalon is.

''I hope that the other capitals are beautiful as Avalon,'' Gracier murmured.

''Even if they are not beautiful as Avalon. I think each one of them will have their charm, something they take pride in.'' Silveria said prompting Gracier to consider what she said. Indeed it was true, she would have liked to visit each one of them, who knows maybe she will. No, she was sure that they will travel around the world, exploring dungeons, talking about dungeons she could not wait and explore one.

On the other side, Alex had just finished recounting what happened.

''I see. However, even if those men were Katherina's men I think they took the initiative on their own without her consent. There was a rumor saying she punished one of her men, all of his assets have been taken, then he was sent into the Hell's Prison, a pretty nasty place.'' Elseria explained this to Alex.

''I see. As I expected she wanted to recruit me it's why she didn't make a move. She had done all of this even without being sure of my current potential, whether or not if I've unsealing my Gift. Pretty calculative If I must say.'' Alex said thinking about what Katherina had done, even if he did not know what the Hell's Prison is, just the name made him cringe.

''You need to be calculative if you want the throne. You should know that even if I sealed Eria's city back then, making it difficult to get information about you, it doesn't mean that they did not get anything. I bet she must have learned few things reason why she started acting like that, wanting you into her faction. Well, she will see if you worth it or not before making move now that you appeared.''

''I know. You must have intentionally let slip some information.'' Alex said glaring at her.

In response Elseria only smiled.

The two women who had left returned, carrying brewed tea whose fragrance refreshed Alex's and Gracier minds, they also brought Silveria's Ice cream. Silveria started eating her Ice cream, she was too fond of Ice cream.

Meanwhile, Alex took a sip from the ambrosial tea and his eyebrows raised when he found it highly pleasant to drink. He did not doubt that he had never come upon such a fine tea or even the top-notch ingredients used in it.

''By the way, is there anything I should know? Especially things concerning my former classmates. Ah! I meant the other otherworlders.'' Alex asked while sipping his tea.

Elseria elegantly took a sip of her tea before answering.

''Let's see, Leonardo recently became level 61, almost Rank 7, same with Maria, Luna, and Sakuya. As for Leonardo's lackey, they are around Level 55. Also, the princes and princesses from others nations have arrived. A banquet will be held tomorrow evening. Naturally, you must participate.'' Elseria explained what he needs to know.

Hearing about a banquet Alex smiled, ''A banquet Huh?!"

''What? I hope you are not planning to not go?"

Facing Elseria's question, Alex chuckled and said, ''Relax, I'll go. It's just that-"

''It's just what?" Elseria asked confused.

''Forget it you'll find out soon,'' Alex said with a mysterious smile.

Elseria could only drop the matter.

On the other hand, Alex was not surprised by the fact that Leonardo and the others were almost Rank 7. Alex knew he would be ahead of them, even though it was not by too many levels, at least one or two levels ahead of them. As for them catching up, he was not afraid because, if they catch up he would just need to surpass them again. He was not concerned about that at the moment, he was more concerned about that unknown organization who seemed to be after him.

''What? Something like that happened? Who dare to mess up with someone under my protection?" Elseria said, extremely furious.

It was like a slap in the face what that unknown organization had done, however, they shouldn't be blamed as they were unaware of Alex and Gracier being under Elseria's protection, unaware of the connection between the three if they knew they would think twice before coming after the two because offending Elseria was an unwise thing to do.

Gracier's eyes widened as this was her first time learning this. Even if she was angry against that unknown organization, there was nothing she could do, she needs to be cautious.

''Little Else, any idea about this organization?"

Silveria asked, she was done eating. Her playful expression had disappeared and it was now replaced by a serious one.

Shaking her head, Elseria said, ''No idea. They must have hidden pretty well. Well, I will look into it don't worry I'll tell you if I find anything.''

''That's good please do,'' Silveria said.

''Better be careful. Even if they won't try anything you better stay vigilant.'' Elseria warned.

''Don't worry we will,'' Alex promised, Gracier also nodded hearing Elseria's warning.

Suddenly, Elseria asked as if she remembered something.

''Alex did you remember that lass you've turned into a retard?"

''I do. If I'm not wrong his name is Larry Fishburns. Why are you asking me this? Is there any problem?" Alex asked confused about why she brought out an already ended case.

''No problem, or should I say a problem may arise. The eldest son of the Fishburns family will be enrolling, he may come to find trouble with you. Also there House's rank has changed. Their father is not Baron anymore he is now a Viscount.'' Elseria explained.

''I see. I hope he will not act as some kind of an idiot and know his place.'' Alex said, praying that the other party knows what it's good for him. Alex did not want to take part in any meaningless fight.

''That would be a shame,'' Elseria said.

''Why so?" It was Gracier who asked this.

''Fufufu! Nothing, I was thinking about something else.'' Elseria said not going into the details.

Alex was looking at her, he had the feeling that she was plotting something. Her next action confirmed it.

Elseria brought out a small jade box and gave it to him.

''What it is?" Alex took and when he was about to open it, Elseria stopped him.

''Don't open it. I'm lending this to you. I'll take it back later. Soon, you'll know what it's for.'' She said not saying anything else.

Even though he was curious about what was inside the jade box and what it would be used for, he chose to not probe, he had the feeling that he'd get the answer soon, from the few clues he gathered from their previous conversation he had a rough idea of what going on, he couldn't help but smile.

Gracier was curious about why her brother was smiling unbothered by Elseria's attitude, she must have something in mind and her brother knew it. She decided to ask him later.

''Elseria, I want to buy a manor. It will be good if it's near the academy.'' Alex asked.

''No worry, I have already prepared something for you,'' Elseria responded.

Hearing this, Alex's eyes shined however he put on a troubled expression.

''Sigh! How can't I trouble you with that? If I accept it will be like I'm taking advantage of you. Something I will not do. I'm planning to buy-"

''By the way, a small mansion costs at least 10 White coins here.'' Elseria cut Alex mid-sentence and announced.

Alex gulped when he heard this 'Holy shit, that's $1 million, I don't have that much money on me.'

Gracier was smiling as she knew what Alex's next action would be.

''Thank you Elseria. Where is our manor? We are rather tired better go there to familiarise ourselves with our new home.'' Alex said with a smile on his face, he had forgotten about his previous words. No, it acted as if he hadn't said anything.

'As I expected.' Gracier mumbled while doing her best not to laugh aloud.

Silveria rolled her eyes at her master whose skin was thicker than an adult dragon hide.

Smiling Elseria asked, ''Weren't you saying something earlier? Something like you will buy-"

''It's must be your imagination.'' Alex cut Elseria off and said. He put on a wronged expression.

''Hahahaha.''

Gracier burst into a peal of laughter while Elseria muttered,

''Too shameless.''

Alex acted as though he hadn't heard anything.

Shaking her head Elseria could only smile facing Alex whose shamelessness knows no bound.

''Alex now that you see me and know my status. Did you still want to pursue me?" Elseria asked.

There was a temporary silence, Alex did not say anything.

Silveria and Gracier looked at Alex, waiting for his answer.

Smiling, Alex finally responded, ''Of course I'll make you mine even if you were the Empress of the Elves.''

It was now Silveria's turn to burst into laughter while Gracier only smiles thinking as expected of my brother.

Elseria on the other hand had an incredible expression on her face, she quickly concealed it, smiling she said, ''It's that so? I'm looking forward to how you are going to win my heart. Well, it won't be easy, though. It's almost impossible.''

''If it's easy it will be boring, it won't be a challenge. You said almost impossible, which means it's not impossible, even if it takes me thousand years I'll make you mine.''

Alex declared while directly looking into Elseria's blue eyes. This declaration was like an oath.

For a moment it was as if they were the only one present in the world, nothing else matters.

After a moment, Elseria stopped looking at him in the eyes, looking elsewhere she said,

''We'll see.''
