The guild master surprised and stopped her. He said it's fine, he tried to calculate himself. After a few minutes, "It's true, 331 gold coins, 43 silvers, 13 cooper"

Alex nod, he tried to do mental arithmetic and the number come up the same.

"How do you know?" Guild master asked Yuna

"I... From I'm kid, I'm good with number and I can remember faster" Yuna said embarrassedly.

Alex and Bernard astonished, Alex said "Congratulation Guild master, you got a capable secretary"

"Haha, if not you, young Alex introduced me to her. I won't even notice" Bernard said happily.

"No no, even I didn't do anything, with her capabilities. I'm sure she will be noticed soon enough"

Yuna was so embarrassed, she was praised by two people, one is her hunter guild master, and the other is a Sword Saint and also a gold-rank hunter (Not yet though).

"Young Alex, are you going to make a base in here and continue becoming a hunter?"

"No, I still need to go back to Academy"

"Academy? You are a student?" Bernard was surprised, seeing Alex who nod, he asked again "I heard, the dean of Acacia Royal Academy got a successor, and he is called Alexander. Do you..." he just notice, Alexander and Alex. Aren't they just a full name and called name.

"Yes..." He scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

"Haha...no wonder you are so capable. Alright, since you need to go back to the academy, I won't delay you" he turned to Yuna "Yuna... I will call you this okay? Please get the money for young Alex and also a golden badge"

"Yes" Yuna immediately get them.

"When are you going back?"

"Possibly, tomorrow morning."

"I see, how about we drink tonight?"

Alex shook his head, "I don't drink.... for now"

"That a bit waste, well I remember the academy always hold an event in dungeon every year. I will welcome you again at that time"

"Thank you"

Soon enough, Yuna come back. "This is the money, and also this is the badge, Sir Alex" She handed the money and golden badge.

"Thank you" He received them. he also asked, "If I want to bought herb, where should I go?"

"You can try them in the market, the opposite direction of this guild from dungeon. It's only half hour walk"

"I see, thank you. I will go back now." Alex said.

"Sure, I will see you off" Guild master said.

The three of them go back to the first floor. As soon as, they coming down from stairs.

"Alex!" there are three people coming to him.

Alex look to the side, but she suddenly tackled. He fell down. He recognized the three of them. Alicia, Firia, and grand duke butler, butler Ji. Of course the one tackled him was Alicia, he look down, he saw Alicia hugging him, but her hand was shacking.

"Why are you not coming back? It's already a month two days ago" Alicia teared up.

Alex didn't know what to do, "I...I thought one month is only the time in dungeon. Not accounting with the time on the road"

"It's obvious you need to count them!. you... I think something happened to you, IDIOT!" she cried.

Alex tried to search for help. He look at Firia, Butler Ji, Bernard, and Yuna.

"I'm just accompany her." Firia said.

"I'm just protecting her highness" Butler Ji said.

"This is personal business, not hunter guild" Bernard said.

"I...I.. I'm just a insignificant person" Yuna look down.

They all betrayed him. He didn't know what to do in this situation, he can only apologize sincerely "I'm sorry Princess"

"Alicia"

"eh...?" Alex confused.

"I will forgive you if you start calling me Alicia again"

Alex speechless, "Umm... I'm sorry Ali..cia..."

"Hehe.." She laughed a bit while wiping her tears.

Alex only froze, but suddenly butler Ji give a threatening aura. Alex look at him, he look at Butler Ji's eyes saying 'this is the time you wipe her tears'

"....", Alex tried to wipe her tears with his finger awkwardly.

"Hehe.." Alicia give a big smile, The world seems brightened with her smile.

Alex was suddenly froze, he was mesmerized with her smile. "I'm really sorry for worrying you Prin...Alicia". he almost said princess out of habit.

"mmm.." She just realized, she make a big scene in here. She blushed and look down embarrassedly.

"All of you get away get away!" Bernard drive away the crowd.

"Al..Alex, let's go" She was still embarrassed, She want to dig a hole to hide herself.

"Sure, Let's go Alicia"

All of them go outside the guild.

"Then good day to you, Princess Alicia, Raji...no... Butler Ji now right, Young Alex, and miss Firia. And give my regard to grand duke." Bernard said and Yuna want to kneel after hearing the woman who hugged Alex just now is a princess, but suddenly she was stopped by Bernard. Bernard know, she didn't like the formalities too much.

"You know each other?" Alex looked at Butler Ji and Bernard.

"Hoho.. We met in dungeon and become friend after that and also with master."

"Oh..." Alex astonished, they are old friend. And apparently, the grand duke too.

"Goodbye uncle Bernard" Alicia said, she seems also know this guild master.

After they said their goodbye,

"Alex let's go back home now" Alicia said.

"Alicia, Aren't we a bit late?" Alex said.

She realised, the sun was almost set. "then we go to inn first, we will come back tomorrow"

"umm...Then.." Alex nod, he just remembered, he book an inn for a month, but only used it one time. He want to go to inn immediately, but Alicia immediately grab his collar.

"Alex, where are you going now?" She smiled beautifully, other may see this smile beautiful but Alex only felt a chill with this smile. This is the first time he see Alicia like this.

"I...I just remembered I book a room at some inn last month. So I want to go there, to give the room's key back and also I want to search for some herbs in the market"

"Then we can go together" Alicia said happily.

"This..." Alex look at butler Ji.

"Sure, Sir Alexander. But please bring her highness back, the knight already book a room in Silveria Inn, it's behind this building" He pointed at the building at his side.

"O..okay" Alex said. Alicia already dragged him, when she see butler Ji give confirmation.

The two immediately went on their own way. Suddenly butler Ji turned to Firia,

"Miss Firia, you don't want to go together with them?" he asked.

Firia sigh and shake her head, "When I see Alicia like that in the hunter guild, I feel I can't beat her feeling to him. I will give up for today"

Butler Ji didn't say anything more. they went back to the inn. While Alex and Alicia go to Trican Inn.

"Ah... you are the one from last month" someone suddenly said.

"Yes, I just remembered this is my last day so I am planning to give the room's key" Alex said.

"Eh...Actually, When you didn't come back for 3 weeks, we thought you are dead, so your room already rented to another hunter." She guiltily said.

"What! How can you do that" Alicia was angry.

"This...this..." The girl said, this girl is the same girl Alex meet went to rent a room in this inn.

Alex sigh, and make Alicia stop. "It's only a room, I don't leave any item in there anyway"

"I will give the money back" The girl said.

Alex shake his head. "it's alright", he persuade Alicia to leave. But before he can leave, someone come.

"I see a beautiful girl in here. Hey girl, come service me." The guy vulgarly said to Alicia.

Alex frowned, Alicia was mad, "You... I will kill you", Alicia make an ice spear and the spear went toward him.

But the guy use his sword to destroy the spear, "Hehe.. a mage huh and chantless to boost it, with your body it's perfect to become my woman and service me everynight. Just throw away that kid, I am a silver rank hunter, and I'm still 25 years old, I have the potential to become a platinum rank hunter, this is your honor to become my woman.

"You..." Alicia mad, she want to make another magic but Alex stopped her.

"Haha...Even your man doesn't want to offend me"

"Alicia, what is the punishment for the charge to a Princess?"

"Umm..." She suddenly become timid. She forgot when she want to kill that guy a moment ago. "De...death. but Alex let's just forget it"

Alex ignored her and use a mini boost step, he instantly arrived in front of the guy.

"You" The guy was surprised, but Alex already kicked him. That guy crashed to the inn wall.

"You bastard, I am a silver rank hunter. Are you going to challenge the hunter guild? The hunter guild won't let you off"

"Hunter guild..." Alex took out his badge, the badge was golden. "You mean this?"

"Gold....gold rank...,no it's impossible, there are no gold rank as young as you." But he suddenly recalled some scene in the hunter guild before. "You... you are the new gold rank hunter, the guild master was even personally give you the badge. You....Aahhhh!"

"You just insult Princess Alicia with your vulgar word", he killed him. And bring Alicia away from the inn.

"What happened?" A middle-aged man come and shouted. This middle-aged man is the inn owner.

"There are 20 gold coins in here, that should be enough to compensated the damage. That guy just insult Princess Alicia" He didn't forget to throw a purse to the inn owner. He coldly said.

The guy was passed out, the girl face is pale. The inn get 20 gold coins, this is a revenue of one year. This is more than enough to compensated the wall. But she know, Alex will never come back here anymore. If she can choose between Gold rank hunter or 20 gold coins. She immediately choose gold rank hunter. This can become a good advertisement for the inn. And the benefit she got will be higher than some 20 gold coins.

"Alex... aren't you a bit too extreme?" She said with a low voice.

"Hehe..who said she want to kill that guy first?" Alex teased.

"you...you...don't tease me. I will ignore you, hmph" She pouted, her face was red.

"Well the kingdom rule already determined his live. I will say it to butler Ji later."He righteously said

The two went to the herb store in the market. Alex manage to buy the herbs he needed. He planned to make rank 2 pill, body foundation pill. He got 30 sets ingredients, but the price is also high. He bought them for 200 gold coins. He didn't know whether it's normal or because the herb is rare. If this is normal then his teacher must be so rich. Since he is the one who supply all the ingredients usually.
