Chapter 313: Husband has to be selfish from time to time
For the next few days, Alex barely left his Deathwill Castle.
That was because he had too much work here. Besides focusing on bloodrunes, Alex practiced his swordsmanship proficiencies on the straw dummies. He needed more experience with his new style and Stella’s bloodline.
The forest fairies had also entered his castle.
At first, many fairies were shocked to learn about Yumia’s granddaughter. But as Celia came out with Kubo and her two wolves, everyone gasped, not caring whether the little dullahan was adopted.
They all teemed around the cute girl, asking her many questions.
And as Celia had her grandma by her side, she wasn’t scared!
“I am Celia Deathwill, the leader of Team Friends!” Celia introduced herself with her official title before talking about her mother, father, aunts, and naturally grandma, who stood beside her.
Every forest fairy smiled at Celia, listening to her story.
Yumia allowed her granddaughter to have fun with her people before rebuking them to work hard in the barracks!
In that place, Alex had been waiting for people.
He taught them about the straw dummies, battle experiences, and the rewards for their hard work. Every forest fairy gulped down, earnestly listening to Alex.
Even though his words sounded like a dream, they knew he wouldn’t lie to them, for he was their best friend. Yumia also confirmed his words with her presence, adding her battle experience to all the straw dummies around her.
At the same time, a few more forest fairies entered the alchemy room. They were all experienced alchemists who had spent their entire lives in alchemy.
Remia respectfully listened to them. But before they helped her with her subclass, the alchemists couldn’t stop themselves from commenting about the castle’s alchemy room.
“This is revolutionary research!” said one of the forest fairies, holding some random alchemy research papers in his hands like otherworldly treasure.
He thought he would pick something familiar, yet it utterly broke his knowledge about alchemy.
It made him seem like a newbie, instead.
Other alchemists were the same, conveying their shock to Remia.
As Alex’s future wife, Remia stood like the room’s owner. Every fairy there respected her more than just a princess, asking her for permission to study the papers.
Remia smiled, agreeing to their requests, but with a little catch, “All your research must be done in this room.
You also must apply them to the potions. The war is coming,” Remia said in a severe tone.
Her people nodded a few times, wholeheartedly agreeing with her words, “Yes. We won’t selfishly immerse ourselves in research, Miss Remia!”
“Thank you,” Remia smiled brightly, inviting some sunshine with her white teeth. And then, she personally requested something, “I will often visit this place, too.
Alchemy is fascinating, after all. I hope you all will help me progress.”
“As you wish!” the forest fairies’ alchemists saluted in tandem.
After their agreement, Remia spent some time with the alchemists. She then went to the main garden, focusing on her primary task.
And it was to entirely absorb the Crystallized Elven Heart.
Remia and Alex decided that she would become the closest to elves out of all forest fairies.
She would usher in a new era for them.

“Master’s bloodrunes proficiency has increased tenfold!” Erin clapped her hands happily, bowing with her gargantuan chest swaying compellingly.
Alex nodded, staring at blood banks with dilated eyes. Unfortunately, he missed the beautiful breasts spectacle Erin naturally had done for him, his attention fixed on the blood banks.
It didn’t hurt him or his future, though.
“All facilities have so many options and privileges… They all break the system,” Alex commented while looking at the blood-sucking bugs going to the blood banks.
Yumia had ordered those bugs from the Green Kingdom, willing to spend some money for her in-law.
They came in handy, helping Erin gather blood much faster. With the prison’s regeneration abilities, Alex could even feed those bugs with his convicts’ blood.
There were more means to torture and research the prisoner’s bodies.
Alex wasn’t fond of them, but Erin would do all for him.
For now, he just needed blood, so it wasn’t that bad. But if it continued, Alex would have to check Erin’s psyche at least once a week.
And as Erin stood like a servant behind him, Alex inwardly thought, ‘Elias Deathwill… You will return here, won’t you?
I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a way to return here without us noticing you.’ Alex whispered, recalling the bastard’s face.
Elias Deathwill wasn’t a fool. He could read people’s hearts and his plots were evil. He wouldn’t give up on a castle, so he must have prepared a way to enter it again.
Alex had checked around the castle, just in case. But as he didn’t even have a slight idea about teleportations and other stuff to move in a long distance, his inspection was quite bland.
‘Everyone will be ready for you,’ Alex said before turning around.
Erin followed him, even though she couldn’t leave this place. But as Alex’s following words rang out in her mind, she dazzlingly smiled.
“It’s time to open the treasury,” Alex said, confidently going toward the treasury’s doors.
And even though Erin didn’t know whether her master would open the doors, she was elated he wanted to try it out.
“Master wants to take items for his beloveds?” Erin asked through mental skill as Alex went through the dark corridors.
He smiled, shaking his head, “I want to equip myself entirely.”
Erin didn’t expect such words. Her Master always cared and shared things with his wives. He also had many fairies in his castle, some single girls looking at Alex with palpable yearning.
“I see,” Erin replied.
Alex heard her incredulous tone, laughing, “I recalled Liam Wall. I fought against his straw dummy, too.
That man and his items were legendary tiers. He had them from his class. The current me only has the dullahan king’s sword of the same quality.
I will be selfish this time,” Alex said, then added, rolling his eyes, “But if I find suitable items for my girls, I will pass them to them.”
“Haha~~” Erin laughed, somewhat expecting such an answer, “That’s my master!”
