Princess

Walking out of the throne room, Alex couldn't help but sigh as he recalled how things had unfolded.

To be honest, he didn't regret what had happened and wasn't angry with Aura for her loss of composure. He was more pleased with her for defending him and putting that noble in his place.

With his strength, defeating the whole military power of the kingdom, even as big as Lestia, wasn't a problem, so he wasn't worried if the king decided to punish him for today's incident.

Being insulted like that, Alex really wanted to teach that noble a lesson. Never in his life had anyone dared to insult him like that. If Aura hadn't done anything, it would have been him who would have killed that son of a bitch. But somehow, he managed to maintain his composure and not act rashly, but he didn't give up on taking revenge against that noble.

"Alfred, target the noble who insulted me and curse him with the curse of misfortune, impotency, madness, and insomnia."

[Affirmative.]

The curse of misfortune brings heavy misfortunes to the victim, and nobody could survive for more than a year when this curse is inflicted on them. The curse of impotency makes the victim impotent, while the curse of madness makes the victim lose their sanity and become more violent as days pass by. The curse of insomnia is a curse that makes a person unable to sleep.

With all of these curses at once, Alex couldn't help but imagine how bad that noble's death would be, but he didn't show any pity for him.

Alex isn't a self-centered person whose pride gets hurt by just some insults, but he is also not a person who doesn't care or do nothing about someone who humiliated him this badly.

What the noble did had crossed the line of tolerance for Alex, so this much torture before death is what that noble deserves.

Making his way out of the castle, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him. Looking in front of him, Alex was stunned by the sight which was in front of him: a girl no less than fifteen years of age, an exquisite beauty with long flowing blonde hair and stunning blue eyes that accentuate her flawless white complexion.

Her sense of style is impeccable as she dons a magnificent red and white dress with a unique high-low hemline that showcases her elegant figure. A white cape gracefully falls from her shoulders, adding a touch of regal charm to her ensemble.

She exudes confidence with each step, complemented by her choice of fashion-forward thigh-high black stockings and knee-high black boots. To complete her look, a silver tiara sits majestically atop her hair, and an indigo bow adds a playful touch.

She looked incredibly gorgeous; for a second, it seemed like Alex's heart skipped a beat. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an aura of a strong warrior around her, making her look even more enchanting.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Alex couldn't help but gaze at her in a daze. Similar to Alex, the girl in question also went into a daze as she looked at Alex. Coming out of his daze, Alex was a little embarrassed by his behavior and quickly introduced himself to the girl.

"Good evening, miss. My apologies for the momentary daze, but I couldn't help but be taken aback by your stunning appearance. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Alexander Crown, at your service."

Hearing Alex's words, the girl also snapped out of her daze, and her face burned with embarrassment because of her behavior.

"H-hello, Sir Alexander. I-I am Princess Hildegard of Lestia."

Stammering a bit, the girl introduced herself as the Princess of Lestia.

Suddenly, a piercing scream interrupted their introductions.

Alex quickly turned towards the source of the commotion and saw a young maid clutching her behind and shuddering violently. His eyes followed her gaze and he saw an old man wearing golden armor who had somehow appeared behind her, making a groping motion with his palm.

***

The old man was none other than the former king of lestia and the only gold rank adventurer, Galein Yunas Lestia.

Seeing his behaviour he was once again reprimanded by his granddaughter.

Old king discovered Alex's presence and introduced himself so did Alex. During their conversation the king of Lestia also discovered and quickly apologized to him because of the actions of the noble.

Due to the noble's disrespect towards a guest whom the king invited for an audience, the noble was severely punished with the penalty of paying a significant amount as compensation to Alex. Normally, in such situations, the noble's title would be stripped away, but because the noble was a Marquis, he was let go with just a fine.

After talking for a bit, Alex became comfortable talking to the king, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.

Hilde and Galein were surprised to discover Alex's identity as a young silver ranking adventurer, and Hilde asked for a quick spar with just swords, which Alex won easily.

Next, the old king challenged Alex for a spar after looking at Alex's swordsmanship. The duel was quite a challenge for Alex, who was inferior in terms of skills, but with his high stats and skills, he was able to defeat the old king.

Months passed, and during these months alot of things had happened in the lives of the inhabitants of the world.

Alex founded the Crown Group Of Industries, which in just a few months became a behemoth in the Lestia kingdom due to its monopoly on a lot of magical artifacts and its mass production.

Alex also bought a lot of land in different kingdoms and became one of the biggest suppliers of precious metals and minerals in the whole world.

The products of Crown Group are famous throughout the world, but because it is still a new company, its influence isn't significant at present.

The living standards of the people in the world was increased and due to being the inventor of so many revolutionary items Alex had gained the title of the sage by the commonfolk.
