The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

A single sentence from Alex, all it took a single sentence to freeze Barry in his spot.

Even though Barry could think of more than a thousand deadly tricks and traps in the blink of an eye, at this moment he wasn’t able to think of any.

All his plans had been crushed by this man’s appearance.

And the holy power he had proved that he had Goddess blessing and trying to bring him down by playing a trick is similar to waging war against the Goddess. If it isn’t blasphemy then what?

“Compensate 100,000 gold coins for the mental damage you have caused to my citizens.”

At this moment he was in deep shock. So, deep that he couldn’t even think and process the words Alex had said.

Far from that, a deadly sensation started to tingle from his back.

He was Priest of Nevan seeing Nevan going towards dirt, he was unable to take it anymore and decided to leave for the capital.

But when he heard of Nevan’s rise, he thought he could get a hold of his power if he acted quickly and at that time, he got an anonymous letter and chest containing one hundred thousand gold coins which asked him to do all this._.

And if the propaganda was successful and he can lead the citizens against Alex, he could get a promotion by consolidating his position.

Though he wanted to neglect it and didn’t believe it at first, he decided to step ahead as he had already gotten the money and on top of that with this, he can deepen the trust of people in religion.

His power and authority will surely rise with the King’s downfall. With no noble present to take this opportunity, he will make sure to hold the power and he even prepared for pulling three Epic ranks to Nevan.

But at the moment, he was alarmed at hearing Alex’s words.

Because the amount of money he asked for was the same as the amount he had gotten from an anonymous person and it gave him a dreary feeling whether Alex knew about it.

Though King Alex doesn’t have that sort of intelligence, what if Princess Alice helped him wouldn’t that mean he was directly playing against a fire?

Cold sweat started to pour down his body.

“What happened? Did you become deaf on hearing the amount?” 

“Your Majesty, 100,000 gold coins isn’t a small sum of money.”

“How can this small backwater Priest afford to pay such a ransom? I may not be able to earn that much money in my whole lifetime.”Barry asked with a pleading expression.

” When did I ask you to pay alone?”Alex asked while glancing around at all the white clothesmen along with guards and knights.

“I am asking all of you to compensate. Since all of you took part actively in the collateral damage of my innocent citizens, you all will take part in raising the sum.” 

“Your Majesty please forgive us.”The beginner Priest cried and kneeled while starting to beg along with the paladins and knights of the Church.

But Alex stood still and indifferent to their pleas and spoke” You have enough resources to unite three Epic rank paladins under you and move a force which even a small Kingdom find it hard to reckon with but you don’t have that much money.”

“Do you think of me as a fool or do you think of me as soft rice?”

“Just look at my people who have been frightened by your men.”

“See that man lost his ability to walk due to fear, that kid lost his consciousness due to crying, that man lost all his money due to the crowd.” Alex started to speak shamelessly and shouted”Who will compensate them?”

“Tell me the citizens of Nevan, am I right?”

“Yes!!!”

“Compensate.”

“Compensated!” Screams started to erupt from the crowd as they saw Alex taking revenge on them.

“But Yours…”

“No!” Alex’s loud shout echoed, silencing the entire place and giving chills to everyone as his sound rang like thunder.

“I want 100,000 within a month.”

“Either that or I will personally make a visit to get the answer from the Head Church.” Alex threatened with a stern voice.

Barry’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Alex’s resolute expression. The young man before him looked as impenetrable as a fortress which cannot be broken no matter what.

Remembering the previous display, if Alex visited the Church, he would lose more than his post and Alex may even be appointed to a higher position by the Pope.

Because of the holy aura released by Alex, Barry was sure about one thing, this guy shouldn’t be provoked no matter what.

“Okay, Your Majesty, we will compensate you,” Barry said and bowed his head.

“Once again, I ask you for your forgiveness for my intractable behaviour,” Barry muttered before leaving with his henchman.

Alex sighed in relief seeing everything going alright and not only that he managed to blackmail the person to get a ransom.

But it was all for the people, there was no greediness in it.

When he entered the scene, he was worried about whether someone was able to see him using black magic or not in the war because that would cause some serious problems.

‘This matter is not as easy as it looks.’, Alex muttered inwardly while turning back to see his people with teary eyes screaming for his name.

Alex smiled back and waved his head and walked through the crowds having a casual chat with people while introducing his wives.

All of them bowed their heads in respect seeing his wives but frowned seeing Christina’s scars which weren’t hidden even if she wore a veil.

When Alex explained that Christina risked her life to protect his, all of them cried tears and even kneeled before Christina to thank her.

The scene looked as if it was not Christina but rather their family members were hurt and Christina saved their family members’ life.

At last, he introduced Alice but contrary to the previous excitation the entire place descended into silence.

Alex sighed while patting Alice’s head”You need to work hard Alice to gain their approval.”
