61 History

Alicia wakes up in the early morning. She slowly opened her eyes looking at an unfamiliar ceiling. She starts to remember what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, She went to Alex's room and somehow sleep on his lap. She suddenly stood up, she scanned the room but didn't see Alex.
Leaving the bed with her pajama, she opened the door and want to go back to her own room. But soon after she opened the door, she froze.
"Alicia?" There was someone who passes by.
"Mo...mother" Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Com for visiting.
That's right, the one who passed by was her mother.
"Why are you here?" The madam asked.
"Mother, Where is Alex?" Alicia ignored her words and asked.
"Alex...He was already gone to the training room. The one in our basement" The madam said.
"I see"
"Back to the topic, why are you coming out from Alex's room?"
Alicia's face becomes dead red. "I...I..., Mother you bully me" She ran away.
The madam looks at her running with a bit astonished face. She secretly thought, leaving them in the same room in the academy seems didn't go in vain. She shook her head helplessly and continue to walk.
Meanwhile, Alex in the training room practicing his spin throwing.
He holds the spear according to scroll way, but as soon as he throws the spear. The spear flies at high speed toward the wall and broke again. Suddenly,
"Argh...!" Alex grabbed his right hand. The pain comes suddenly to his hand.
He speculates the pain came from the throwing. "I think I need to master this technique first, if not I might get hurt like this again. The pain was coming from my muscle, luckily I already refine my muscle with muscle refining pill.
Alex now pondering what he will do now. With this hand, he can't practice the throwing techniques. He wondering if he should endure the pain or stop his training.
He decided to endure the pain, though he won't practice his throwing with a spear. But mimicking the movement should do the training for now. It will increase his understanding of this throwing technique.
Just as he wants to continue, there are footsteps heard from the stairs. He looks at the door Since the duke often comes here to chat with him, so he thought the duke will come again today.
But he soon surprised, because it wasn't the duke that coming, rather it was Alicia who coming down here.
"Alex
"Alicia, why are you coming here?"
"I...I'm just checking you. Because you always train and train and train more." She complained, but suddenly she noticed the injury in Alex's hand. "Look! This is what I mean. Look at your arm injured like this."
She looks at Alex's right hand worriedly, Alex can only smile bitterly. "Don't worry, it only a small injury"
"You..."
Looking at her angry face, he smiled. "Alicia"
"mmm?"
"No, nevermind"
"This again. You..."
Alex only shrugged his shoulder and laugh. But in his heart, he swears to protect her. But this war worrying him.
"Alex. Actually, I want to ask you this. What are you planning to do with the hero? Are you going to kill him?"
"Hmm, I want to kill him. But I won't kill him when he was in our kingdom. If I did that, The kingdom will take a brunt for its reputation. Other kingdoms, especially Holy kingdom will think our kingdom too overbearing and might start a war again us together with Zircodina. Actually, how is the relationship of our kingdom with other races?"
"Other races?" Alicia was shocked with Alex's question, she pondered a bit and said, "Two years ago, even though we from Acacia kingdom, didn't have any good relationship with demon race. You can say that we are neutral with them. neither enemy nor ally. As for the demi-human... Uncle Marco has a somewhat good relationship with the dwarf and elf.
He was saved by a dwarf and before he comes back to this kingdom, he saves an elf that has some high rank. Though there are still some factions in demi-human that still hate us. It was all the fault of the slave trader"
"Slave trader? I never saw any slaves in this kingdom" Alex confused. He never saw any slaves in this kingdom. From the start after entering Acacia kingdom territory until he reached here.
"It was absolutely from Zircodina. Even the Holy kingdom has a few slave traders there. We abolished the slavery system three hundred years ago. Other kingdoms weren't"
Alex was shocked, "Then that time, the kingdoms must meet many oppositions"
"Of course" Alicia becomes a bit down. "According to our history, at that time, our kingdom was very strong. We can suppress three other kingdoms"
"Three? Aren't there only two other kingdoms? Zircodina and Holy Kingdom?"
"The third was Mizalia Kingdom. That kingdom was destroyed when they want to imitate us for abolishing the slavery system."
Alex frowned, this event must make some big impact to this kingdom.
"At that time, we have around 50 rank 8 in this kingdom. Twenty more than the sum of rank 8 in other kingdoms. That time, if I'm not wrong Zircodina has 11, Holy kingdom has 13, and Mizalia has 8 since they are only a small kingdom
Because our kingdom abolished slavery. Many slave traders turn to us, even backed by other kingdoms. They use many schemes to kill many of our rank 8 fighters. Fortunately, Mizalia kingdom didn't join to attack us. At that time we make war with Zircodina, Holy Kingdom, and Slave Traders. We are too late knowing the alliance between those three, if not we can suppress them easily
Even we win in that war, we lose most of our rank 8 fighters. Look at us now, We only have 10 rank 8 fighters in our kingdom." Alicia explained, in the last part, Alex noticed a bit of hatred in Alicia's voice.
"Then how about Zircodina and Holy kingdom?"
"Now, Zircodina has three and Holy kingdom has five. They weren't in the better state since that fight. But, even though we have more than them now. We still can't suppress them. Even If we manage to win, we won't win unscathed." Alicia sighed.
"How about Mizalia Kingdom?" Alex asked.
"They? After that war, all the parties participated in it leave a deep scar on them. Mizalia Kingdom thinks this was the opportunity to get rid of the slave traders. Even though Zircodina, Acacia, and Holy kingdom didn't join in this event. That time one of the slave traders sacrifice themselves. They kidnap the elven princess and the demon prince and bought them to Mizalia Kingdom. The kingdom was razed to the ground with the two races alliance."
"Fortunately, they didn't do that tactic to this kingdom" Alex said.
"It's not they didn't do it. They dared to do it, but our fighter manages to make them failed all the time. Sometimes it was a trap, and make our rank 8 fall" she said hatefully
Alex looks at her solemnly. Alicia really loves this kingdom.
Noticing Alex's gaze, she turned to him. "What is it?"
Alex shook his head, "No, I just realize, you seem very knowledgable in history"
"Only this kingdom" She pouted, then she puffed her chest proudly "I love this kingdom and its subjects. I will destroy anyone that wants to destroy my kingdom"
Alex smiled and teased her a bit "And what if I am the one who destroys it?" Though he said this jokingly. In his heart, he was serious about it.
"What! Don't Joke about this" Alicia pouted.
Alex only laughed and stood up. He makes it a bit mysterious "Let's go back for lunch"
"Sure" Alicia stood up and followed him. But her mind keeps pondering Alex's words just now and she seems to realize something.
"Alex" She called him.
Alex turned back, looking at her.
"Whatever you do I will support you. Even the whole world becomes your enemy I will stand beside you. Trust me, I won't ever leave you." She said to him, looking at his face seriously. She realized what Alex worried about.
If Alex hurt the hero or kill him. Zircodina and Holy Kingdom might target him. Even though Acacia was strong, it won't leave unscathed, Alex might be afraid, if his action will make Acacia kingdom in peril and might be destroyed. If Alex leaves this kingdom or this kingdom abandon him. Then... Upon thinking about this Alicia come to a new resolution.
Alex was shocked by her statement just now. He didn't see any lies, or rather, all her words were filled with determination and sincerity. Alex was moved about this, he thought it was really nice to be loved. Unconsciously, he let a tear formed on the corner of his eyes. Alex smiled at her.
Alicia was shocked if she didn't see it wrong. There seems a tear formed on the corner of his eyes. Alicia turned to a playful mood, she wants to lessen the mood so she teased him "Alex, are you crying?"
"No" Alex was embarrassed because he unconsciously did that "You must saw it wrong"
"I saw it just now"
"It must be a sweat"
"But I didn't see you sweating this whole time"
"That was..."
Alicia continued to tease him until they reach the dining room.
...
In the dining room, everybody shocked by Alex's injured hand. Though it was only bruised on the surface. Alex reassured them, he said it will be better soon.
The following weeks he continued to train his spin throwing and somehow manage to master it before the holiday is over.
The day before the class start, Alicia and Alex already arrived in their room. Alex immediately goes to his teacher.
He searched, the dean is not in his office, so he goes to his courtyard.
"Teacher"
"Oh Alex, you finally remember me"
"I always think about you, teacher. How are you, teacher?"
"I'm good. Teacher just lazying around here. That's right how about you? Do you want to make pills or forging again?"
Alex pondered for a moment, "I want to make rank 3 pills". Then he took out a paper and write the ingredients. After he finished, he gives the paper to the dean.
When the dean looks at the ingredients, he was shocked. He even dropped the paper.
