The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Yvonne stared at Alex retreating and stomped her feet with a flustered expression.

“He came and just left as if I was nothing.”

“What the hell did he think of me?”

“I will make sure to teach him a lesson next time.” Yvonne snorted.

“But before that, I need to do something about that weird aura. I am sure he used some kind of trick on me to daze me.” Yvonne grumbled.

……..

Alex went out of the Lockheart’s mansion staying low. The disguise wasn’t the best but it was ten times better than walking around wearing a cloak while attracting other people’s suspicion.

“Your Highness, how did the meeting go?”

David who was now working as an assistant ran hurriedly with a nervous expression.

After interacting with all higher-status people, he knew how tough their character was and Lady Yvonne was quite harder to deal with.

She wasn’t an easy person to mess with and on top of that coming here uninvited without an appointment was similar to looking down on them.

Some people had to wait for days or even months just to get an appointment. It generally depends on the other party’s worth and proposal.

The only reason he dared to come here without any appointment was because of King Alex.

Alex smiled and asked, “How do you think it went?”

“Seeing from your smile, it seemed to go well.”

“How can she take on me? She was unable to utter any words before my fiery proposal. I am gonna leech off this Sugar Mama entirely.” Alex spoke with a sinister smile.

David’s lips twitched hearing his words.

“Your Majesty, you shouldn’t lower your guard. Lady Yvonne can strike back any time and don’t forget that she is your wife. If she plays the wife card and forms a team with others, you will be at a dead end.” David spoke with empathy.

Alex’s expression stiffened and he glared at David.

‘This fellow. I already knew about this but it feels unpleasant coming from someone else’s mouth.’

‘Whatever, I am gonna forgive him after all I have a big heart.’

“David, you have been working hard recently. I think that you should be promoted.”Alex muttered and patted David and entered the carriage.

He lied to Yvonne about leaving. He will sneak around to see Yvonne and would enjoy the flustered look on her.

Yvonne along with her family would come to Zenith. He would meet them there. The ceremony will be for three days and he will be leaving tomorrow after tying the loose ends.

Athena was ready to go with him and the orphanage had already hired some staff and the members of the Church had lent a helping hand after Athena’s request.

His next stop was Zenith. It was time to see what the future had in store for him. Act II was going to commence soon but before that, he should at least visit the workshop and see the production facility.

As Alex left the place, at the far corner of the Palace, a man stood staring through the windows.

“Honey, why are you smiling like this?”

“Nothing Elisha, it’s just a thief who had made a visit but left quietly.”

Elisha opened her mouth with a shocked expression and stared at her husband”A thief! Did it come here to harm someone?”

“No, it came to visit our daughter.”

“He met Yvonne and is laying a trap for her. Just who is the man daring to court death here?”Elisha shouted with a stern look.

“James, you should take care of him before he can do anything suspicious. My daughter is already having a tough life.”

“Pffttt”

“Tough life, you sure know how to jest. All she does is boss around.”

“And the thief is not someone I can deal with. Moreover, the thief will soon make his way here and steal our precious things.”

“What!! He is going to steal and you are just laughing like a fool? James, I am warning you if you dare to fool around now, for a year you have to sleep on the floor.”

James, who was in a good mood, suddenly faltered and almost fell back.

His wife is surely fierce. Once she saw her demon side, even he had to crawl in fear.

Cough…Cough.

He coughed awkwardly and said”That thief is your son-in-law Elisha. Do you want me to deal with him and make your daughter a widow?”

“Ohhh!So, it’s Alex. I heard he had grown up splendidly. It’s time to test him and if possible we should make things difficult for him a bit. We shouldn’t let our daughter fall into his grasp easily.” Elisha was playful.

‘Son, your future is going to be hard. But you need to hold on. This man supports you after we two are the victims.”

….

Prodigious Workshop

With the loan and funding from Nevan, a small workshop was set up in Lock’s City.

The shop was a bit small, comprising a big hall of 6000 sq metres which was the main assembly room with other small rooms where people craft other parts.

Currently, there were 38 workers in it and each of them had a wage of 500 silver coins per month.

The cost of land in Lock City was quite high and Alex wanted to start from a smaller scale and limit the sales so that the craze for the products doesn’t diminish quickly.

As Alex entered, he was greeted by the staff.

Alex raised his hands for a shake but the people stepped back a little and spoke gently”Sir, my hands are dirty.”

“It’s okay, even my hands used to be dirty. It’s my honour that you all took my offer to work here.”

The workers were a bit surprised to see the man’s behaviour, the man looked noble but he didn’t hesitate to shake hands with them.

“I hope all of you find the place to be fitting. I am thinking of increasing the scale since we are already established.”

Currently, the workshop could produce a bicycle in three days. Alex wanted to increase the speed to produce a cycle per day but the customization and procurement required time.

So, Alex needs to get some shops under him.

Alex and David entered a personal made for him at the top.

“David, we need to start the tailoring and embroidery business soon. The bicycle is good but the clothing shop would do better than it and unlike the limited buys, a noble house can buy fifty to a hundred dresses according to their wish.”

“We don’t need to hire haughty and arrogant craftsmen who show their pride, try to look for lower class people who might be a bit off but they have a passion for tailoring and embroidery. I have already selected a batch of women whose skills are quite good in embroidery. Also, call half of the tailors from Leonhart.”Alex ordered.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We need to move fast now. Soon, you would have a strong independent financial organisation to support you.”David muttered.

“We need to firm our feet as quickly as possible. Since I am here I would like to set everything in motion quickly.”

“Now, tell me, have you prepared all the materials I have asked for?”Alex asked.
