The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

"What do you mean by that?" Alex muttered as he was shocked once again by this elder statement.

The Elder stopped speaking and opened his eyes for a moment.

Alex was startled to see deep black eyes like the dark space which seemed to be seeping into the cosmos staring at his soul directly.

It looked like Alex was staring at the sky full of stars.

In the bright sky, there was a small black hole which was pulling Alex into it.

Alex tried his best to prevent his consciousness from fading away as he was feeling a strong suction force that was sucking his soul into a deep abyss.

The Elder looked at Alex with a gentle smile and closed his eyes and said"Not bad. Not bad."

Alex was snapped out of his thoughts on hearing The Elder words.

Alex activated the eyes of truth to grasp the situation and know more about the wolf tribe elder but to his absolute horror, it didn't work.

No, his eyes of truth seemed to be blocked by some kind of mystic force.

Alex concluded that the elder had a powerful eye that can block his eyes of truth for now because Alex's level in using his eyes of truth was still at a rudimentary level.

And as Alex searched deep into his memories, he deduced that the eyes had similar features to that of Mystic Eye.

In this world, there are chances of people being born with different types of eye powers.

Though there are mainly three types of Eye powers.

Spiritual which can help one to see one's mana signature and density.

Sloth eye can help the user to see by slowing down the things around him.

Mystic Eye enables the user to deduce fate and it can also discern the depth of one's soul and deduce one's nature and behaviour.

Unlike seers who can directly see a glimpse of the future at the cost of sacrificing a part of their lives, Mystic eyes can help one to deduce fate without any side effects.

Alex wasn't able to use the Eyes of Truth on this elder of the wolf tribe so he wasn't able to deduce his strength and rank through the eyes of truth but he was sure that at the least he was at the legendary level and at most, he might be a saint.

Though Alex was finding it hard to believe, he had to accept the truth.

"Elder, this young one can perceive that you are quite strong so why are you staying here in this place? Moreover, I can't find anyone stronger than Peru who has stepped into the master's realm."

"With your guidance, the wolf tribe would have surely prospered a lot," Alex asked with curiosity.

The Elder of the Wolf tribe rubbed his beard and said"Child, that's not my destiny."

"This old bone is quite old and has been seen for countless generations."

"This wolf tribe is not as simple as it seems. Once we were rulers of this vast land. But for now, you don't need to know about it now."

"The only thing you need to know is that the fate of my wolf tribes is intertwined with you. Your rise will be their rise and your fall will be their fall."

"By the way, I am warning you that if you mistreat my tribe I will surely come to find you." The elder spoke and stood up.

"Wait Elder, I have more questions. You can't leave in the middle." Alex stood up while trying to stop the elder after all he still had some unanswered questions.

"Sorry child, our meeting is over for now. I have already fulfilled the purpose of the meeting. You can come to find me here when you have reached the legendary realm." He spoke and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Alex looked at the space from where he disappeared and sighed deeply.

From his words, he can feel that something bad was coming for him.

"First it was the dream and now the elder words."

"I feel as if I am going to step on some kind of shit."

.....

Alex returned along with the whole village of Orc and wolf tribesmen who migrated to a place near the Fortress.

Alex stayed for a few days while making some plans for the construction of the Steelfield fortress to modify the place a little.

The beastman started to work on their village closer to the forest and since all of them had sworn allegiance to Nevan, they would help Nevan in times of crisis.

Alex didn't think of abusing them from the beginning and let them settle down slowly while he prepared to head back to the Capital.

The problems of the beast and monster tides had been solved so there was no reason for Alex to linger around there.

Before leaving, Alex gave them the weapons and some training manuals that he had written.

Aeon decided to follow Alex to the capital while all the burden of Steel field Fortress would now be on Charles's shoulder who looked quite saddened by the fact that Aeon was leaving the place.

The Countess cried a little and asked Aeon to take care of himself while Hamilton gave Aeon some parting advice.

Meanwhile, Alex got a handkerchief from Hamilton's daughter which she sewed by herself.

Alex remembered Riya's etiquette classes while noble girls giving a man's handkerchief means they like them.

Alex just feigned ignorance and acted as if a sister gave a gift to her brother.

He was already in deep shit after having five wives and any more than that was gonna pull him into a pit full of shit.

Great people unify continents but only legends like him walk on the throne path of unifying wives.

After a heartful, sorrowful and stressful parting, Alex, followed by his hundred men, headed back to the Capital.

...

The news of Alex clearing the monsters and beasts while fighting against beast tide had already reached the capital.

Recently there have been some movements in the city which can be perceived by natives.

Many people have been missing recently. But weirdly none of the local natives had gone missing.

It can be inferred that only those who have recently travelled to this place had gone on missing.

But all these rumours were overshadowed after Alex returned and people started to tell his tales.

Screech!

The sound of metal screeching against the ground reverberated back as the huge iron gates of the castle opened allowing Alex to see the subtle changes in the structure of the exterior of the castles that might have happened during his absence.

Alex smiled, noticing Riya's eyes which sparkled like diamonds, who with a loving smile spoke"My Lord did you miss this maid."

Alex walked toward her while extending his hand to hug Riya and muttered"You don't even know just how much I missed you."

"Waiting to meet you again, I almost counted all the stars in the sky."

"So, how many stars are in the sky, My Lord," Riya asked while trying hard to stop herself from laughing.

"This…" Alex was tongue-tied for a moment.

"There are so many stars that if I started to tell the number, it's gonna take years to finish so let's leave it for later."

"Ohhh!" Riya exclaimed in surprise and raised her brows and looked here and there and spoke"My Lord, I don't see any girls behind you. Didn't you bring more servants? I remembered you were playing with the innocent hearts of the girls by winking at them while going out of the capital."

Alex almost stumbled on his butt on hearing Riya's words and he could smell the smoke of jealousy coming from her.

"Haha hahaha."

"Riya, you have learnt to joke in my absence."

"I am a noble, upright and a gentleman who is as holy as the Church itself so you shouldn't slander your husband like that."

"You can ask Ben and Max about my holiness," Alex muttered while rubbing his nose.

Riya heard Alex's words and tilted his head towards Max and Ben with a questioning gaze.

Ben noticed Riya's gaze and tried to avert his eyes but Riya's sharp gaze seemed to pierce his soul.

"Please believe in His Highness. Except playing with young maidens...Cough...I mean teaching maidens some fighting stuff he hadn't even done anything."

"Yes, His Highness had mostly been in contact with Count's daughter who takes care of his daily needs and served him, nothing much happened except that" Max further added with a straightened posture.

"Moreover, she even gave her highness a precious parting gift."

"You can believe the words of this slave," Max spoke while beating his chest and puffing it up to show his pride.

"What! Serve him? Precious parting gift" Riya exclaimed in shock as in her mind she thought of the other meaning of serving him and she looked at Alex with a heartbroken face.

Alex's ears almost burst and started to bleed when he heard Max's words and noticed Riya's change in expression.

"Riya, you are misunderstanding. It's not that.."

"It's okay my Lord. This girl is just a humble servant and if the greeting is over, you should take some rest after this long journey." Riya spoke while curling her lips with a devilish grin and bowing down her head and turning back to leave.

"Riya, wait….Riya." Alex shouted Riya's name and ran behind her after glaring at Max while raising his thumb, he rotated it around the neck giving Max a special signal.

It was at that moment Max knew that he had fucked up.
