The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

"Pftttt!!"

Alex, who was issuing commands, heard a peal of boisterous laughter from his back which almost made his heart flutter.

"Are you issuing this kind of command in this kind of situation?"

Alex stared at Athena's graceful figure and raised his chin proudly under everyone's gaze.

"Giving command is an art of war. We need some subtle words and meanings to make them motivated so that they do their best."

"Isn't it, my dear comrades?" Alex turned towards the soldiers with a gentle smile.

But anyone who met his gaze knew exactly what his eyes and smile conveyed

'If you dare to say no, you will feel and bear the consequences with your own body.'

"Aren't you all very motivated?" Alex asked, raising his eyes.

The soldiers nodded vigorously and shouted.

"We are motivated, immensely motivated."

"It seems that the warrior inside me had been awakening. My blood seemed to be flowing with motivation now."

"Good, now get to work before I start another motivational speech."

The soldiers raised their weapons and started to flee....no started to fight after finding a new source of motivation.

Christina appeared amid Alex's commands and after hearing Alex's words stared at him viciously and spat out"Shameless."

"Lady Christina, it's an art. Once you start it, you cannot stop being shameless."

Christina snorted and walked towards Alex stomped his feet and stood beside him.

"Ouchhh!" Alex cried in pain.

Athens giggled covering her mouth seeing Christina and Alex's child's play.

She walked towards Alex and as she saw everyone dispersed to the side and engaged in a battle, her playful expression changed and a chilling coldness radiated from her which startled Alex and Christina.

"Alex!"

Noticing her icy cold gaze, Alex swallowed his saliva in fear. She could feel overwhelming anger in her tone.

"What were you doing a few days ago? I mean with whom you were fighting to the point that your soul had been damaged to this extent."

"It was just a bit of a troublesome matter, nothing more, "Alex spoke, averting her gaze.

But Athena stepped forward quickly and put her hand on Alex's chest.

"Hehe! Hey, Athena, I know you miss me but let's save it for later." Alex tried to hold Athena's hand pretending to be embarrassed.

"Stop it!"

Alex's whole body froze as she heard Athena's sharp words. He stood rooted to the place as he felt that Athena's words were quivering.

As he observed Athena he could see that she was biting her lips with a pale expression.

"Your soul has been wounded."

"What!!"

Alex heard another scream.

Christina, who was observed from the sidelines, was shocked and ran towards Alex and held his arms and asked worriedly"Alex, are you alright? Can you even stand properly?"

No one knew better than her how painful a soul injury was. In the beginning, you would always feel uncomfortable with pain and aches all over your body.

Every time one uses the power to fight, a strong prickling sensation as if being stabbed by many needles would pass through the body.

"It's okay. You see that I am standing fine and all right." Alex tried to assure them.

"Alex, you can fool anyone else but not me."

"Do you think I don't know the strength of your soul? Did you forget that I can see through the soul and aura?"

"The power of your soul attack can even kill an Overlord rank. It's just that your enemies are fortunate that you cannot use soul attacks due to your rank. Now, you are telling me that a person with such a strong soul has been wounded by simple means."

The more Athena spoke, the more agitated her voice became.

Christina who heard Athena's words suddenly felt that the world around her was spinning.

Soul strong enough to kill an Overlord rank.

Her gaze lingered on Alex. She was horrified and frightened for a moment.

She had already lost all her loved ones and now if something happened to Alex, just a thought about this seemed to be squeezing her heart.

"The opponent was a bit strong and I was caught a bit off guard. It will never happen again." Alex tried to calm both the agitated girls.

Alex's soul injury wasn't that big when he was attacked rather it was due to using the law of Darkness.

Alex forcefully tried to comprehend the law of darkness and engrave it in his soul which resulted in his soul being unable to take the burden as it was fed with information without any preparation.

He may look fine, but the situation was quite troublesome. For a few months, he wouldn't be at his peak and it's better to forget about the strain of physical fights.

He was already pushing himself and after this, he had to recover and make up for the loss.

He hadn't imagined that Athena could catch this. He knew that Athena wasn't the type to lose her composure this easily.

Even if he returns with an arm or limb missing, Athena wouldn't worry so much as she knew a bit about his ability but this damage was something that can't be undone.

"Alex, it's okay to show your pain. You can tell us and show us the pain. Don't bear it all." Athena spoke with a tearful voice.

Alex nodded with a smile and wrapped one of his arms around Athena's waist and another around Christina and pulled her closer to his chest.

"Keep it a secret from your gang, okay," Alex whispered slowly.

The soldiers who were keeping the undead at bay stared at the lovey-dovey scene on the battlefield and felt their hearts burn as they wanted to say please refrain from doing this on the battlefield.

It was too much for a single like yours.

Morderk, who had returned and was managing people to form a no-man zone around Alex decided to do his duty to maintain the dignity of his Lord and coughed a little.

But what he got in return was three bone-chilling gazes with a frustrated expression for ruining the precious moment.

"It seems, I have to prepare for my retirement early,"Morderk spoke while averting their gazes.
