I Got The Gacha System In Another World
Involvements

After Raymond and Carollus get the perfect plan, Carollus walks towards Alicia and Alex. He grabbed Alex's shoulder with a dangerous move.

"Alicia. Didn't you say he made you sad?"

Asked the king in a threatening tone as if forcing him to admit it.

"T—!”

He wanted to deny it, he corrected himself after getting a sharp glare from his uncle.

"Y—Ya."

“So..”.

The king nodded repeatedly before looking at Alex with sharp eyes.

“So, you're the one who made my little Alicia sad?”

“That's not the case, let me explain..”.

Alex became confused, he never expected the king to suddenly turn this small.

"What explanation? I don't need that explanation. All I know is you've made my little Alicia sad and you should be punished."

The king continued while grunting.

“I..”

Alex sweated, he anxiously looked at Alicia for help. Unfortunately, he threw his face away, not helping her at the moment. The same goes for the Grand Duke. As soon as Alex glanced at him, he had already thrown his gaze away while whistling.

The king kept staring at Alex and said, “So, how should I punish you?”

Suddenly Raymond grabbed Carollus' hand and shook his head as if he were a savior.

“Brother. Please calm.”

"No matter what happens. He deserves punishment. She should have been executed by now, but since you want me to forgive her, I'll let her go if she marries her."

'Acting that badly.' Alex cursed at his words.

Raymond only said calmly, but Carollus had interpreted it differently. He wondered if this person was really a king or not. He was not aware that it was the impact of his talent that made them unable to think as they usually did at this moment.

"Married?" Alicia looked at her uncle with her mouth wide open.

"really. You're getting married to Alicia and that's the end of this conversation!"

Carollus ignored him and kept pushing Alex.

"Uncle! What the hell are you saying? Marry her?" Alicia blushing.

"Yes. Wh why? You don't want to marry her? There are still heroes in the Kingdom of Zircodina.Then I know you want him to be your husband." The king narrowed his eyes.

"No. Alex is much better than him. Uh!"

He denied the claims before he realized he was saying how he looked at Alexander.

The king showed a face like he had won.

"My brother Alicia is not an adult. Why do you think marrying her is a good idea? How about we let them get engaged first as probation. Anyway, I still need to think about my daughter's feelings."

Raymond tried to calm the situation down by being an intermediary.

"Infranquired? All righty! I agree with the idea. You two are now officially engaged to my name as the king of the Acacia Kingdom."

Carollus then stared intently at Alicia.

“If you don't like it one bit, it will be fine. In that case, I can just ask your sister.”

Alicia's confused. On the one hand, Alex is a simple companion. Although she had a good impression of him, it was not at the level where she wanted to marry him. On the other hand, he couldn't think of heroes or people in the capital as playful characters. He refused to admit it and decided to run away.

"You two are bothering me!"

With Alicia out of the room, Carollus and Raymond were finally able to move freely. Carollus still held Alex's shoulder and grinned.

“Seeing your expression, it seems like you also rejected this idea?”

“This..” Alex lowered his head and sighed.

"I'm just an ordinary person, not a great person. Besides it—"

Carollus suddenly released his killing intent and looked into his eyes.

"You're going to get engaged to him. If you refuse this, I will only kill you to avoid trouble in the future. Now choose! Are you going to die here or are you going to get engaged to my Alicia? Judging from your expression, I can see you are a man with a past. I know you don't want to die yet."

Alex gritted his teeth and looked down.

"i understand."

Carollus finally let go.

"You can come back."

Delighted by the result, Carollus burst into laughter. Raymond smiled but did not break his silence.

“Don't you think that's too much, Brother?”

"It's okay. For the sake of the future of the Acacia Kingdom, I risked everything including my life. Besides, I can see deep into her eyes, she..."

Carollus sighed and shook his head.

"That's it. I just feel like he's a good kid. As long as you teach her, Alicia will be happy in the future."

Raymond closed his eyes and sighed.

On the other hand, Alex walks down the aisle, he thinks inwardly and he soon realizes that he is being played with by the king. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to fight them and he did not have anyone in this world that he could rely on. He will accept it for now, but it may be different in the future.

He did not know that the real plan came from the grand duke. Their first conversation left him completely unsuspecting the grand duke as there was no way he would sacrifice his own daughter.

…

At night, though,

*Tok Tok*

Alex heard a knock from the door. He only wanted to go to bed early due to the stress he was experiencing today, but this sudden knock made his heart beat fast.

"It's me. Can we talk, Alex?"

Alex widened his eyes, he did not expect Alicia would come to his room at this hour. He got up from his bed, opened the door, and found Alicia with a red face.

"What are you doing?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.

Alicia looked at her room and asked. "Can we talk?"

Alex opened the door wide, letting him in.

"What do you think of our engagement?"

Alicia asked while looking around her room. His heart was racing all this time.

The question surprised him as he immediately closed the door and tried to explain, although no words came out of his mouth.

Alicia turned around and looked into her eyes with a serious expression.

"I'll be honest here. I like you, but it's not up to the point of love. You're different from anyone I've ever met and I enjoy your company."

Alex's body shook at his statement. His past resurfaced in his mind and made his legs limp.

"I know my Uncle and Dad wanted me to marry you because of your talent. I've been thinking all afternoon and I think I'd rather spend my time with you than the hero or anyone else in the capital."

Alicia clenched her palms. She did not know if this was the right choice or not, but she also felt uneasy when imagining her sister, Lea or Mia, who would be beside her.

Alex closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Let me tell you a story. There was an ordinary boy. His parents loved him as much as a family should. However, they stopped loving him when his little sister showed his true talent to the point that many people said he was a genius." which happened every hundred years.

“Not only that, his parents started looking at him with disdain, and his sister just looked at him with cold eyes. Even it did not discourage the boy because he still thought ‘If my sister is a genius, I will learn other things. That way I can help him in that field.'

"With such a thought, the boy began to study many other subjects, even though they were all in vain. It was just his naive thinking. Since he studied the unorthodox things, he did not have time to learn the normal things and he only got scorn and hatred from the society.

“His parents were very disappointed and even said, 'Why are you so useless trash? We regret giving birth to someone like you.' Those words finally broke the child's spirit and he began to regret his birth."

Before continuing her story, Alex sighed and glanced at Alicia, only to find her crying so loudly. He quickly walked towards her and asked.

"Alicia? What's going on?"

Alicia put her head on Alex's chest and continued to cry.

"Why are you crying? If the king finds out about this, he'll kill me right away. Please stop crying." Alex desperately tried to calm him down.

Alicia chuckled even though tears kept flowing from her eyes.

"Alex. We can get engaged first. If we still don't want to get married after graduating from the academy, we'll cancel our engagement. Or if later you have someone in your heart, we can also cancel the engagement. This is a three-year agreement between us. How's it?"

Alex closed his eyes, thinking hard.

'Three years, I cannot afford to offend the current king. Although I hate engagements like this, especially after being hurt by the events on that Earth…'

Alex looked at Alicia and sighed. ‘I admit that I also enjoy being with him. She won't be like Sandra, will she?'

When a lot of thought came to his mind, Alex gave the answer. "Then, let's do your plan."

He begins to reminisce about his childhood, from his parents and younger sister, their movements as they begin to change, as well as their impact on Alex's life. Without realizing it, tears began to wash over his face.

Alicia changed her position and leaned her head on her shoulder before asking.

"What happened after that?"

Alex thought for a moment and continued his story while omitting some of the parts he did not want to reveal.

She did not know that Alicia was asleep on her shoulder and she was also slowly sleepy and asleep.
