Alex's so-called defeat which Tim won by cheating was imprinted in his mind which burned his fire to challenge him once again and crush him thoroughly.
But he decided to get stronger and then challenge him so that he can beat his ass in the next round and take revenge for his humiliation.
Alex was really caught off guard at that moment.
How can he know that the man who reached the legendary rank will suddenly burst out like a maniac in fear of life?
It's not as if Alex was going for the kill for real as it was just a spar.
Due to the strong coercion and frightening burst of his mana, Alex's body was invaded by Tim's mana which had been creating havoc inside him.
He wasn't at the legendary level so he can't protect himself from Tim mana invading him and a low-tier healing spell wouldn't work on it.
And higher tier healing spells are a big no and using them would create a mess as the knights from Kinley might become vigilant about it.
Until Alex visits the Church in Kinley and declares that he had an epiphany due to Goddess's blessing, he wouldn't be able to use a high-tier healing spell.
His face had become pale as he slowly tried to force out the mana invading his body which took a few hours.
It was Alex's mastery in channelizing his mana and his superior breathing technique that helped him to take care of it quickly, otherwise if it was anyone else he would surely be in trouble.
Alex, who was already in a foul mood, was further scolded by Catherine.
"Who told you to show off before a legendary grade warrior only to get beaten up and thrown all around?" Catherine shouted.
"You should get stronger before trying to show off."
Alex almost clutched his chest to stop the pain due to Catherine's words which were enough to make him vomit blood.
'Emotional Damage!'
"Why are you so careless, you might have died. Your condition is also not looking good."
Riya and Christina sighed as they saw Catherine nagging like a mother.
"Catherine, this is not a troublesome situation. You are saying this because you are not aware of the full extent of Alex's ability since you are a noncombatant. Alex could heal himself easily in fact his healing power can rival even top-tier priests but he can't use it now as you know." Christina muttered.
"Still, don't be careless like this time," Catherine shouted at Alex.
Alex pinched his forehead and rubbed it a little to soothe his headache, he really wanted to spank this girl.
But he was happy with the thought that Catherine was worried about him and a good husband shouldn't make his wife worry and so he nodded at his wife every word like an obedient child.
Riya who was wiping the sweat on Alex who lay on the bed with a loosely buttoned shirt exposing Alex's well-toned boy feasted her eyes on Aled's enchanting figure and a sudden thought came to her mind.
Her eyes became rozy as she saw Alex's casual look filled with sweat giving a new type of freshness.
With his irritated expression and his exposed upper half, Aled looked like a bad boy attracting everyone's attention.
Even Catherine and Christina didn't shame
away from taking a peek at Alex's bare chest from time to time.
Alice's advice to become proactive and take advance came from her mind and she felt an irresistible quenching thirst.
She swallowed her saliva as the more she thought about it the more restlessness she felt.
'I should take the chance today.'Riya muttered inwardly clenching her fist as her eyes burned with a fiery passion.
Alex noticed Riya's odd stare and felt something was wrong with her. Riya's body seemed to heat up and her face started to become red as her breathing became heavy.
Her face had been reddened as she looked at him as if he was a delicious meal.
Alex was surprised by Riya's condition and felt that her lust was slowly surfacing.
As he wondered what was going to happen now, Riya who sat near him suddenly stood up with a resolute gaze.
Riya turned her gaze toward Catherine and Christina and muttered"I will take care of the Lord and help him to stop the mana coercion."
"Since I am Epic rank my presence would be more useful than you two so I think you two should return," Riya spoke while trying to maintain her calmness.
"Huh!"
"Can't we just stay here?" Catherine asked, tilting her head.
"No!" Riya refuted decisively.
"Your presence will disturb us."
"Moreover, I have to take care of My Lord and concentrate properly and your presence may mess things up."
"But..." Christina tried to speak but before she could say, Riya quickly pulled Christina and Catherine.
"I will stay with My Lord today and help him. You two should also take some rest." Riya spoke and threw them out while closing the door with a loud bang.
CLUCK!
Alex's eyes narrowed as he saw Riya closing the door fiercely while turning towards him with a mischievous smile.
Alex flinched back for a moment while wondering what kind of devilish thoughts were boiling inside.
Somehow, he felt that tonight was going to be fun.
Alex raised his brows as he saw Riya's cute naughty smile which aroused his feelings.
Alex wanted to smile as he saw her eyes gleaming with desire but tried to maintain an indifferent face.
She looked like a damn succubus and as she noticed Alex piercing gaze, her body shuddered a little.
She lowered her gaze as she felt quite shy as both of them were alone but she clenched her fist to shake away her shyness.
'I have to make a place in My Lord's heart that would only belong to me so that none other women could snatch it.'
With Lord's increasing popularity, she was sure that all the five will be united soon and she would have quite less time to enjoy with the lord so she should savor every moment she had with the lord.
Though she was momentarily ashamed of taking such bold action but for her future happiness she should do it and there was nothing to be ashamed of as the Lord was her husband.
As if trying to reason herself and strengthen her resolve, she clenched the hem of her long skirt and walked toward Alex.
"My Lord, please don't hate me even if this is too abrupt," Riya spoke softly, faint as a mosquito with a reddened face.
"Let this servant of yours warm your bed tonight."
"Huh! What do you mean?" Alex asked but before he could finish his sentence, Riya closed the distance quickly.
Alex couldn't keep up with his words because Riya closed his mouth with a sweet kiss and sucked his tongue.
Cheuppp!Cheeuppp!!!
Moooooochh!Moooooch!!
Riya's tongues entangled with Alex who, though surprised with the sudden development, felt quite pleasant and didn't resist Riya as she wrapped one of her arms around his neck and sat on his thigh while starting to caress his chest with another one.
With a warm deep kiss, the sleepless night began.
