GECK..GECK..GECK...
Alex, who had returned to his room at the palace, heard the door being knocked, and then walked to open the door.
"Alex is fast, mom is waiting in the dining room" John said when the door was opened by Alex.
"Why do you have to pick me up?, I know which way the dining room is going" Alex asked, since he didn't need to be picked up to go to the dining room, he still churned the dining room here through his memories,and if he gets lost he can ask the servants or guards in the palace.
"Mother told me, there's no way I'm going to deny mother's orders, let alone this is just to pick you up" John explained casually.
Alex nodded, he closed the door to his room first and walked with John side by side.
"Has the first brother returned?, are you also going to eat with us?"Alex asked curiously, because earlier from the information he had received from the crow, his first brother was on a trip a week ago, and about his father his mother had previously told him that his father was busy with his work, which he was doing,so he didn't know they were coming or not.
"Father doang is coming, while the first brother is still on his way home"Jawab John.
Alex nodded, he also felt that his father would ask him a lot, because they already knew that he was their son, so he was not worried about finding an excuse.
Well he also doesn't know if his brothers know it, but he will feel comfortable when they find out.
"Oh yeah, I found out from my mother's personal guard, if you win a youth tournament here?"Ask Alex.
"Yes, then?"John asked back.
"What did the tournament mean?,"Ask Alex curiously.
"There was no intention whatsoever, in fact the father who founded the tournament to hone the skills of talented young people, and to give them gifts, the other nobles also agreed with it, as well,but the father also allowed civilians to participate in the tournament, even though there were some nobles who did not agree, but when the father issued his aura they would not agree" John explained.
"Maybe you let civilians into the tournament, because who knows if there are civilians who have good talent, and in the future we need to recruit soldiers from young civilians, right?"John continues.
Alex nodded, because he thought his father was smart enough to attract talent and recruit him, even though his father could recruit from noble children, his father must have thought that the noble child was not 100% loyal to their family.
Whereas with civilians, they are given good benefits, and a good place to live must be directly loyal to the giver, although not all of them are like that, too,there must also be some who have the mind to betray for personal gain.
Not felt as long as they chatted, they had reached the dining room, John opened the door.
Sreetts...
Alex looked in the dining room, he saw his mother, and a handsome middle-aged man with slightly blond hair like himself, he also saw his father smiling at him.
"Welcome back son" said his father smiling at Alex.
Alex knows what welcome back means, because his father meant his soul returned to its original body.
"Thank you dad" Alex said.
"Sit down, sit down, food is being made by the waiter" his mother said.
Alex and John were sitting in their respective places, Alex knew it was his seat, because there was a number in his seat number 3, which was himself the 3rd child, he said,he also did not understand why his family would write such a seat.
"Are you happy to be here Alex?"Ask her father to smile.
His mother glared at his father when his father asked him like that, his father immediately broke out in cold sweat when he saw his mother like that.
"Uhuk, you don't have to answer it, you just speak stale to you" his father smiled awkwardly.
Alex just nodded his head, he also saw his mother turn towards him and ask. "Do you need anything?, do you want to change your mattress?, pillow, etc?."
"No, there's no need to let it stay that way, because the item hasn't been damaged to replace either" Alex shook his head.
"If you need something, you can go straight to your mother to ask for it" his mother smiled softly.
Alex nodded and replied. "I'll definitely see you when I need something"
"Good".
"Ekheem, have you forgotten me here?"John was complaining.
Alex, his mother and father just ignored John who complained, John who was ignored immediately bowed lethargic, whether the affection between us is no longer there, he thought.
"Sir, the food is ready".
The waiter came and announced, then they put food on the table, saw the food neatly arranged, and uploaded Alex's stomach taste immediately rumbling, he had not eaten before for fear that he would eat his personal disinia , ' he said ,here he can not eat anymore when with his family because it is full.
"Let's eat" said his father.
They began to eat, and the person who ate the most was John, because he almost took all the side dishes one by one, while his mother ate only a little.
After they finished eating they relaxed for a moment to digest their stomached food.
"Mom, my father is asking permission to leave tomorrow, I want to explore the city" Alex said, he must complete his mission, even if the system does not give his side time, it is better to finish as fast as he can.
"Okay, do you need a guard?"Asked his mother, while his father only nodded his head, his father seemed to agree that he was out for a walk.
"No need, I'll walk on my own without a guard" Alex said shaking his head.
"How about John accompanying you?, you haven't been to the city before either" said his mother, although she knew Alex's soul had a memory of his body but his previous soul never left the palace.
Alex thought for a while and nodded, nor did he need to keep a secret that he was going to buy slaves.
"Are you not asking for my opinion first?"John said, he felt that the affection in this family for him was greatly reduced.
"Are you going to refuse mother's orders?"His mother asked John with narrowed eyes.
"No, I don't dare" John broke out in cold sweat being stared at like that by his mother, his eldest brother didn't dare much less himself.
"If you need money, you meet me tomorrow at my office, I'll give you the money" his father said.
Alex just nodded, actually he still had a lot of gold coins in his inventory, but he also did not know if it was enough to buy slaves later, because he did not know the market price of slaves.
