Alex stretched his backzily which made a faint crackling sound.


    He hadn’t trained for a few days which had made his muscles rigid.


    The whole capital was proactive for a few days due to the preparation for war.


    Alex wanted to stuff all the food and necessary things in case something goes downhill.


    Even if he is hundred percent sure of victory, he would still n for the worst-case scenario.


    Alex along with Riya walked into the newly created warehouse which was filled with wooden boxes and crates.


    Alex’s eyes glowed which were brimming with excitement.


    Inside these wooden boxes were his treasure and ythings with which he was going to wreak havoc….no, he meant that he was going to y around and have some fun.


    Alex walked toward the ce and pulled the cloth wire.


    A ss frame appeared and inside it was a huge heavy metallic armour which shone brilliantly under the rays of sunlight.


    Alex opened the ss door and tapped on the armour to feel its thickness.


    A tang, tang sound was emitted from it and hearing it made Alex nod in satisfaction.


    Though Alex loves to have a disy of armour, he doesn’t like to fight wearing armour which makes him feel quitefortable and the heaviness slows down his movements by a small margin.


    But in an all-out war where enemies throw themselves on you from everywhere and you have to fight amid thousand enemies, you should wear this for safety which can minimise the impact and save your lives at critical times but most people ignore it thinking it is useless as heavy armour drags them down.


    Alex stood before the next ce which was a stand of swords.


    A huge greyish silver sword was ced at his front made of the best steel they could produce at the current moment.


    There were manyyers of patterns made on it which was the effect of using Damascus steel for manyyers.


    It was a huge great sword that was made for domination.


    Even though the de was thick, it was quite sharp.


    Alex couldn’t help but smile seeing the greatsword and spoke”The bigger, the better.”


    “Huh!”


    “What do you mean by that?” Riya, who listened to Alex’s words, asked with surprise.


    Alex smiled and wrapped his hand around her waist pulled her closer and ced his face on her shoulder, he muttered softly.


    “Didn’t you experience it recently how bigger things are better?”


    Riya who heard Alex’s words instantly blushed and her face started to heat up with redness.


    She hit Alex’s chest with her small fist and pushed him.


    “My Lord! Don’t say such things in broad daylight. What if someone heard you?” Riya spoke while trying to cover her reddish face filled with shame.


    “Don’t worry no one is here?” Alex spoke and kissed Riya while giving a gentle pat on his head.


    After ying with Riya for quite a bit it was time for him to leave as they had to cover a huge distance quickly while taking care that no one was able to trace their movement.


    It was time for him to begin his next journey and meet his other wife.


    ……..


    In a small city.


    Two men walked towards the tavern which had been a hot topic of discussion.


    From the outside, it looks folksy, modest and homey. Small stones and huge stone nks make up most of the building’s outer structure.


    It’s near impossible to see through the high windows, but the enthusiastic noises from within can be felt outside.


    As you enter the tavern through the heavy, metallic door, you’re weed by dancing people and pping hands.


    The bartender is working hard but still manages to wee you with a friendly nod.


    It was as charming inside as it was on the outside. Marble pirs support the upper floor and the rows of small lights attached to them. The walls are full of paintings, judging by the style they’re all done by one person, perhaps the owner.


    The tavern itself was packed. Tourists seem to be the primary client here, which could be seen as a good sign, though you’re sure it’s not.


    Several long tables are upied by what seems to be onerge group of people. The other, smaller tables are also upied by people who enjoy each other’spany, though they seem to be strangers who have met here.


    The duo booked a table and sat on it while waiting for a marvellous show that was going to take ce on the stage.


    Many have heard rumours about this tavern, supposedly it’s famous for something, but you can’t remember what for.


    Though judging by the angelic voice who just started singing, it must be famous for this singer.


    Many managed to find a seat and prepare for what will undoubtedly be a great evening.


    On the stage, a set of people appeared.


    A man dressed in neat white clothing robbed with long hair along with a beautiful angelic girl who had a cold expression on his face.


    Both of them started to act while a song started in the background adding more charm.


    Alex found the ce oddly pleasant to his eyes.


    Unlike traditional taverns and bars which reeked of alcohol and smoke along with disgusting scum, this ce was filled with civilised people.


    Moreover, Alex was surprised to see drama and acts being yed out in many cities. He also found that it was Her Highness Catherine who came up with these ideas of entertainment.


    At first, Alex thought that Catherine might remember her previous life but he shook away the thoughts as even in his world the concept of movies and operas didn’t exist from the beginning and slowly came into the limelight by people thinking.


    So, it wouldn’t be odd for Catherine who was the embodiment of the Goddess of Wisdom toe up with such measures.


    Currently, he was in a small town on the borders of Wright and Alex could feel the difference Catherine had brought to Wright which was quite marvellous.


    The crime rates were low, and people were mostly happy here.


    Alex heard the rumours about this famous tavern which made him unable to stop himself froming here and taking a look.


    The streets were neat and you could hardly find anyone begging on the street.


    In short, this ce was bliss and a utopia formon people.


    “Maybe fate couldn’t tolerate these people happy and wanted to tear them apart with wars,” Alex muttered.


    Alex had split his army into many parts that would move in different directions along the border and assemble at predetermined spots to avoid their movements from being caught.


    Alex didn’t want to inform about his participation even to Wright as he can’t take the risk after all who knows which traitory hidden where.


    Alex and Mordek after enjoying the ce were about to leave when Alex steps halted by when he heard the ending of the song which made him freeze for amoment.


    [Some people marry by love while some are married by force while some marriages are made by heaven.


    Even if some marriages are a perfect match made by the heaven,


    There will be ups and downs.


    Who is Right and Wrong,


    One shouldn’t worry about it too much.


    After all, sometimes giving up for love isn’t a loss at all,


    So, hold your hands and walk through the journey of life by giving you all.
