Coming out from the mirror world, Alex gasped heavily.

A golden key appeared in his hands swirling in the air. The Key contains the measure for which his father put away everything in the world.

"This might be the first time that except for my wife, I am feeling such conflicting emotions."

"This is also good," Alex muttered casually, staring at his mother's body.

His father was too sentimental to part with his mother and would always come to talk with her in his free time.

But holding someone who isn't dead wasn't that good.

"Mother, I will meet you soon."Alex smiled, wondering how happy Queen Goddess would be when she heard him calling her mother.

Alex tapped on the huge brick of ice.

CRACK!CRACK!CRACK!

The brick cracked. Through the layer of cracks, Alex tapped on his mother's forehead.

The body of the woman glowed and soon started ro dispersed.

In the end, an orb of spherical energy mass is suspended in the air.

This was the remaining energy that kept the body from decay. With this, the second body of Queen Goddess would disappear forever.

Thinking about all the restrictions placed on her, Alex wanted to ask.

"Mother, was it worth it?"

The Goddess doesn't have emotions. It's just like virtual AI tried to pretend, that's what Alex thought of them. But who knows maybe it's because they have yet to meet someone who can make them feel the emotion, they are like this.

....

"He is a scary guy."

The group of nobles shrugged their shoulders looking at one another.

The events of the battle over the Demon Continent were hard to reach but with the fall of The Emperor, the declaration was made everywhere.

The contents were still hidden from the general public but the nobles were scared out of their wits.

Because more than The Emperor's Death, they were bewildered after hearing about the death of Demon Sovereigns.

The entire squad of Demon Overlords were annihilated without a shred of leftover existence. This was totally unbelievable, even though their Emperor was strong still he was not capable of killing them alone.

Only those above the Overlord might kill them but they would surely not make a move in this fight. Then that means it was all done by Alex, this was absurd.

"We can't believe this, "Renette spoke.

"I agree."

The others nodded.

"First thing we are not sure if the whole scenario had happened for real. If Demon Overlords are dead then shouldn't this person capture the whole Demon Continent and push forward the army instead of wasting time here."

The giant man muttered trying to comprehend the situation.

"Listen, just because he became The Emperor did not mean he had been crowned. Since The Emperor passed away amid the battle, I am sure he had not issued an Imperial Decree."

"Moreover, he can't sit on the Throne with power alone. He needs support and political forces to stabilise. He does not even have any close confides.

"Let's look for Prince William."

"He had refused."

A nobleman muttered, pouring cold water on their thoughts.

"Let's look for Princess Irvine..No, even Princess Leia is better."

"No matter what, we can't accept that guy on the Throne. Before he was a dimwit and was subjected to our jokes and criticism. That guy holds pretty well and will surely look for trouble with us."

"If possible try to hire the upper member of the shadows."

.....

A Mourning Bell struck over the capital and a message was sent about the Emperor's death all over the Empire.

Many grieved while for many it did not affect their everyday living.

A huge altar was built, and beside it, the dead body of Kevin lay in the coffin.

All the nobles offered their condolences and moved to light incense and give flowers.

The ceremony took place for a few hours.

The entire Imperial Knight Squad surrounded the place not to let a single mishap.

As expected, the assassin sneaked and tried to cause trouble.

What were their goals, everyone knows inside but no one was brave enough to voice it out.

This irked Enoch. If not for this event, he would have already started his offences against the nobles who did not put the death of his former master into their eyes and arranged an assassin in such an event.

Alex's four wives standing behind them stared at his lonely back.

Though they have not spent eternity with Alex, they were taken by surprise seeing Alex's messy thoughts.

For them, Alex had always been frank. He might be an expert in feigning and masking his emotion however he has never burdened himself with this.

He had always acted unbridled even when he was weak but seeing his sad desolate look, they knew he was really sad.

When Riya was kidnapped, instead of sadness, it was anger and denial but he always believed that he could bring her back but this time was different.

And they knew the reason for it. Alex has already narrated the story.

Walking forward, they put their hands on his shoulder.

Alex raises both his hands and grabs their hands on the shoulder, holding the four of them.

"My father may have been harsh towards you in this life so I hope you can forgive me. If you have any grievances against him, please let them go."Alex spoke.

"Instead of grievances should not we thank him for giving such a good husband?"Athena.

"Yeah, I don't want to agree but I can't deny the fact...Ouch..."Yvonne shrieked as Alex pinched.

"Stop being Tsundere."

"You..."Yvonne stomped on Alex.

Christina and Catherine just smiled seeing this.

Alex nodded and then walked back towards the crowd. His expression changed on facing them.

His expression looked indifferent but seeing his face everyone's eyes started to flutter.

"Thanks for coming here," Alex muttered and folded his hand behind his back.

His black eyes started to glow with eeriness and at the next moment, the surrounding space started to distort.

"Kayak!"

"Ehhh!"

The nobles shrieked in panic.

"I wanted to say more but it seems everything is unnecessary."

"I will give you a chance."

"A chance to all those who do not want me to sit on the Throne. In two days we are going to have an audience in the Throne room."

"Try everything you can to impale me. If you succeed..."

"The congratulations."Alex smacked his lips.

"But if you lose..."

A devilish smile crept over his lips.

"Prepare for consequences.."
