Return To Alexa Royal City

Standing there, Sharky silently watched all of this but did not say anything.

Even though he had planned all of this, Gary's accident was unexpected.

He had been preparing to just use this opportunity to show his martial prowess to the southern rulers. Clean the route from South to North.

This bandit group was the largest bandit group in the surroundings.

Using this opportunity to destroy this bandit group, Sharky would eliminate a threat in the future, as well as show his might to the surrounding rulers.

His focus was mostly on the latter.

But the Shadow Touch's coming here was out of syllabus, he didn't think they would arrive here.

From how Sharky saw it, these rulers were not very honest. If he didn't show them his strength, who knew what mischief they would get up to secretly. And this Shadow Touch's mischief must be of them.

Soon, the sound of footsteps and horses could be heard—Baron Myler's people had finally arrived.

Hearing about what had happened here, Baron Myler had personally led his guards to receive them, and he saw this bloodied scene.

He was greatly startled and shocked by this spectacle.

After hearing about what had happened, as well as the origins of this bandit group, his gaze towards Sharky and Gary immediately changed.

"Gary was True Knight and Sharky is a Knight, and it was all thanks to him that we could easily get through this," Maxwell lightly sighed as he looked at Baron Myler.

He seemed to just incidentally bring up Gary and Sharky's status as he described their performance.

Baron Myler was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the countless corpses scattered all around, as well as the bloodied Gary and Sharky, they looked like a wargod, he felt a chill in his heart.

Looking at Sharky and Gary, the dishonest thoughts that Baron Myler had been harboring in his heart were instantly dispelled.

Just as Sharky had expected, he indeed had some ill thoughts towards the goods that Sharky had brought this time.

It was just that after seeing Sharky's performance, he no longer dared to have such thoughts.

This bandit group had at least 200 people, and they were stronger than an ordinary ruler's force.

However, such a force was easily annihilated by Gary. Rather than a fight, it was more accurate to say that a massacre had happened here.

And even the Shadow Touch's, who comes, half of them were annihilated.

Even though Myler force's strength was superior to that of this bandit group, his guards most likely would not fare any better.

If they really fought, they would most likely become icy cold corpses like these bandits as well.

Thinking there, Baron Myler became cautious and took Gary more seriously.

Following this, he returned to normal and cordially invited Baron Maxwell, Gary and Sharky to be guests at his residence.

Because of what happened to Gary, Sharky and Baron Maxwell only stayed at the residence for one day and settled the agreement before leaving.

Time gradually passed.

Just as Sharky expected, after news of that battle spread, the surrounding rulers became much more meek.

Through this battle, Sharky had successfully shown his martial prowess.

The surrounding rulers were all shocked and suppressed any ill thoughts that they harbored.

Following this, goods continuously arrived from the north, while the southern rulers continuously provided crops and food.

After going to Sharky, those crops and food would be sent to another place before being shipped to the northern side through the route, which Sharky and Gary cleaned.

This was quite a complicated process, and there were many variables involved.

Having this trade route was Sharky's biggest advantage currently.

With him maintaining the situation in the south, everything went incredibly smoothly. Even if anything unexpected happened, they were still able to mostly proceed as planned.

After settling the initial trades, Sharky and the southern rulers were able to come to an initial agreement.

Through his channels, Sharky was able to provide large amounts of goods from the northern desert and split them among the southern rulers, while southern rulers paid in crops and food.

.....

Currently, only the initial agreement had been made, but as more goods were transported and the rulers made more profits, their relationship would become more and more solidified.

As Sharky continued to busy himself with his goal, two letters from the Alexa Royal City arrived.

"Letters from Jasmine and Parizaad?" Within a sparse bedroom, looking at the letters in his hand, Sharky gave a slight smile before beginning to read it.

"Dear Sharky… just like you, I have been greatly missing you at home. I greatly look forward to the next time I can meet you. I hope that you will enjoy yourself in your hometown, as well as that you will quickly come back…"

After reading through the letter, Sharky smiled and put it away.

Then he opened the letter of the Parizaad.

"Dear Husband,"

"You're the worst person I have ever seen you. As I know, since you are so intelligent, you have already found out that Jasmine is my younger sister. But even then, you are sending love letters to both of us. Did you want to marry both of us? And you didn't even leave Selina. You are really a scumbag."

"But still, I missed you. I hope you quickly return back. I am also following your order, which you have said."

"Your lovely wife - Princess Parizaad."

Sharky gives a chuckle, as he starts laughing after reading the Parizaad letter. It seemed that his efforts were beginning to bear fruit.

Now, he just needs to make the Parizaad Queen, and then he will become the King.

And since both sisters held great feelings towards him, except for the Prince, there was no one in his way.

As such, now that Sharky had Jasmine's and Parizaad's love, the first step was clear.

Now, he needed to take the Queen's acknowledgement.

For a Princess, it should be her father, the King, making the decision for her.

However, from what Sharky knew, the current King seemed to be quite ill and would be unconscious for some time. He would only be awake for a short time during the year.

As such, most things fell to Princess Parizaad and Jasmine's mother, the Queen, while she greatly favored Princess Parizaad.

As such, Sharky's next goal was to have the Queen acknowledge him, but if he was able to take Parizaad on the bed. Then even without Queen acknowledgement, he would be able to take both of the sisters.

This matter was both difficult and simple.

The key difficulty was to make Princess Parizaad initiate.

After all, meeting with the Princess Parizaad was a very difficult thing, but it was simple for him.

Because, for other people, maybe Princess Parizaad is a difficult step to reach. But for him, the Princess will herself take initiative to come into his arms. Forget about just taking a simple permission from her, he can directly take the person for himself.

Sitting in his room, Sharky silently thought to himself.

After a few moments, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write the return letters to Jasmine and Parizaad.

He was quite proficient at this.

After a while, he finished writing the letter and carefully packaged it before giving it to an attendant.

"Deliver this to Jasmine and Parizaadz," he said softly.

...….

"Is the information accurate?" Sharky looked at the servant in front of him and softly asked.

After receiving an answer in the affirmative, Sharky nodded and allowed the servant to leave.

It had been four months since he had returned to Baron Maxwell's territory, and now the Southern and Northern trade route was completely established.

His brother Gary has already married Luna, making their relationship stronger.

During this period of time, the Alexa Royal City had been quite lively as well.

According to Sharky's information channels, the Second Prince, Smith, had returned to the Alexa Royal City.

Because his mother was the Princess of another Kingdom, he had a close connection with that Kingdom.

Many years ago, when the King's health began to fail, Prince Smith left the Alexa Principality and went to the Tolis Kingdom, because his mother came from here.

Because of his mother's identity, as well as the strength he had brought with him from the Alexa Principality, Prince Smith had developed quite well over there and even had many supporters in the Alexa Principality.

After all, for the Alexa Principality's King, he was his only son.

For many of the more traditional noble families, having a Prince become King was much better than choosing a woman.

Normally, Prince Smith would stay at the Tolis Kingdom and when he did come back, he would leave soon after.

However, this time, he stayed for two months in the Alexa Royal City.

In those two months, the Alexa Royal City went through a bit of unrest.

Sharky was not present so he did not have many details, but he was able to make some guesses from the information that he received.

In the past few months, those who supported Princess Parizaad and those who supported Prince Smith repeatedly clashed in the Alexa Royal City. Even Knight-level existences had fought, and this had happened many times.

The situation was quite dangerous, and any ordinary people caught up would likely lose their lives.

However, Prince Smith had left, and the conflict in the Alexa Royal City would most likely be settling down.

Sitting on his chair, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Sharky's mind, and he silently made a decision.

After spending such a long time in the southern side, he had essentially done what he had wanted to do.

Sharky, after explaining in the details, completely hands over the Daifin territory to Gary. Now, he was ready for his next plans.

As such, it was time to leave and return to the Alexa Royal City, and proceed towards his main plan.

As such, he began to return to the Alexa Royal City.

Not too long later, he arrived at the Alexa Royal City and returned to his residence.

After returning, he began to visit his friends.

"Sharky, you're finally back." Looking at Sharky, a delighted look appeared on Kelly's face as he quickly pulled Sharky in. He knew that his sister Selina had become his, so he was happy with her.

"It's been so many months; what have you been up to?" He asked as he looked at Sharky.

"What else could I be doing?"

Sharky smiled, "They were just some small matters. What about you? You look much more tired than before."

Compared to a few months ago, Kelly looked evidently more tired and had some dark circles around his eyes. It looked like he hadn't rested well in a long time.

"Don't even mention it."

Kelly gave a bitter smile and deeply breathed in as he explained.

"There were people hiding in your residence?"

Hearing Kelly's words, Sharky could not help but frown, "Those assassins from before?"

"That's right," Kelly gave a bitter smile as he nodded, "Those assassins from before seem to have come from the Tolis Kingdom and have been hiding around my residence, making it so that I could never sleep well."

"Tolis Kingdom…" Sharky frowned, "Were they the people of Prince Smith?" He asked.

Kelly gave a short laugh but did not reply.

But Sharky completely understood, someone who wanted to kill him from the Tolis Kingdom; who else could have done this?

It was most likely Prince Smith.

Kelly's family was one of Princess Parizaad's staunchest supporters.

As such, it was not surprising at all that Prince Smith would want to shake Princess Parizaad's supporters by sending assassins.

Following this, Kelly filled Sharky in on everything that had happened recently.

"Was there really a duel?" After listening to Kelly, Sharky felt quite surprised.

"That's right."

Kelly nodded, "Both people were Knights, and you know one of them—Mader. Under Princess Parizaad and Prince Smith's arrangements, he and another Knight publicly dueled…"

"What about the result?" Sharky looked up and asked.

Kelly fell silent for a moment and replied, "Prince Smith's Knight was killed by Knight Mader, but Knight Mader was forced to use Life Ignition and also lost an arm. He cannot move right now… Even if he recovers, he will not have the same strength as before…"

Sharky fell silent.

Life Ignition was a status that Knights obtained after awakening their Life Seed. However, if they used it too intensely, they would permanently damage their bodies.

From what Kelly had described, the battle was so incredibly intense that Mader had used Life Ignition to its fullest extent, making it so that he could never recover from it.

Just this would have been disastrous enough, but he also lost an arm.

Just like Kelly had said, even if he could fight again, he would never have the same strength as before.

The situation in the Alexa Royal City was too terrifying: One Knight had died and another had become crippled.

If he was just present here, then the situation would be different, but since he has returned back, everything will be going well.
