The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Chapter 32
In the throne.
Alex sat folding his legs with a large grin on his face.
For the people who followed Alex, they saw him as a messenger of God who was sent here to punish the evildoers.
But from the nobles’ point of view, he looked like a bandit who is using every possible way to crush his enemies without any rules.
This guy is not playing by the rules. After all, who in his right mind kidnaps family members in between the wars.
Seeing Alex use cheap and underhanded methods, even they were ashamed of themselves and fall short before his evilness
While a major chunk of nobles’ power being concentrated in front of the castle walls, Riya along with the newly formed shadow squad sneaked into nobles’ houses and kidnapped their families.
Since all the families of nobles were in the city and had come to visit the place due to Alex’s invitation it made their work quite easy.
Alex was finding it hard to hold his laughter, Riya kidnapped Dorda in the middle of the night without anyone’s notice and these nobles weren’t able to feel his absence until he appeared on the castle walls.
‘Just what kind of shit was Dorda.’
Even he was feeling sorry for the poor soul who had given his everything to loot the resources and pass them to the nobles who don’t even remember his great work and couldn’t even feel his presence even though he was the main instigator of this chaos. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Alex looked at the remaining nobles. Before coming here, he had already executed four more nobles because they had committed many unforgivable acts.
The ones whom he had left alive were just involved in thievery and a few minor skirmishes.
“Do you know why you all are alive?” Alex asked with a heavy tone.
The nobles shook their heads and looked at Alex with a pleading gaze to forgive them for not knowing the answer.
They were too terrified to answer wrongly and get special services from him.
“You don’t even know this much? How the hell did you all become nobles without any brain?” Alex sighed and pinched the skin between his eyebrows.
“It’s because I am a benevolent king who can’t see his people in pain. So, how can I kill you all who had shed blood and sweat for this kingdom.”Alex spoke with a smile.
Everyone’s mouth twitched on hearing his reply.
‘If you are benevolent then the devil should be worshipped as the saint.’The nobles thought.
“Those who have been killed. All their lands and wealth would be confiscated.”
“You all can maintain a part of your wealth. I will not ask you an unreasonable amount. You all should donate 40% of your wealth and dispose of your military rights except for maintaining the bare minimum squadron for the protection.”
“Bassie, you have to donate 20% of your wealth.”
Bassie frowned as he thought that he would be left alone but this guy will not leave anyone from whom he can leech over.
The nobles sighed in relief.40℅ doesn’t mean much as long as they are all still alive.
While they were feeling relieved and felt a huge burden passed over their shoulders, they heard Alex’s words.
“It’s not over,” Alex spoke and looked at them with a sharp gaze.
“You…You…You,” Alex pointed to three nobles among the herd and said, “You will be tasked with handling the maintenance and building of new roads.”
“Within a month. I want all the roads in the capital in top-notch condition.”
“And you three will be responsible if, within a month, the roads aren’t back to good condition. I will make sure that the road will be your grave where you will take your last breath.”Alex said with a stern voice.
Gulped.
The nobles swallowed their saliva on hearing Alex’s frightening declaration.
” Now you..”Alex pointed to another three individuals and shouted”You will be charged with cleaning the city.”
“And the time limit is one month. In a month, I want this city as clean as your own house.”
“Otherwise…”
The nobles trembled to wait for Alex’s next words.
“Don’t worry. I will not kill you..” Alex spoke with a smile.
The nobles wiped off that sweat from their heads.
“I will just make your house a garbage dump of the capital.”
Cough…Cough…
Alex was annoyed by someone’s cough and shouted”Who is that bastard without any sense of eloquence?”
“Me…”
Alex looked to the side to see Mordek coughing hard and said”Oh! Uncle. Please take your time.”
“Who the hell has a problem with Uncle Mordek’s coughing? Can’t an old man cough? Do you all not cough?”
“See, Uncle Mordek no one has any problem. You can cough all you want.”
Mordek felt he would cough blood if Alex carried on his shamelessness.
Mordek was just stunned on baring the noble house becoming a garbage dump as his house was near one of them.
And he knew Alex wasn’t joking and he would really make their house garbage dumps which he wanted to refute but he couldn’t muster the courage.
Alex pointed to a few more individuals and distributed a task to each of them.
His first goal was to rebuild the city structures. The second was to revive its economy.
The third was to raise its military strength.
The fourth was to make an educational institution.
Alex asked Bassie to start recruiting officials for administration and other things and start gathering the document.
While the meeting was coming to an end, a nobleman mustering his courage asked”Your Highness. For the task you have given to us, who will provide the money for it?”
The entire throne room descended into deathly silence.
Alex was shocked for a moment but shook his head.
Sometimes he is astonished by his own benevolence and tolerance.
‘Why the hell did you think I only confiscate only 40% of your wealth. Should I chop him down?No..No, let’s be merciful for once.’
Behind him, many people burned incense on this man’s name.
“You want to know who will give the money,” Alex asked.
The man nodded.
“Come with me. We will have a nice, hearty and long discussion.”
“I will answer all your queries there.”
“Max, Ben will also accompany you. You will also receive Nevan’s Special Heavenly Service.”
The man’s face became pale and he lost all his blood. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
“No, please forgive me.”
“Hey, why are you asking me sorry? We were just going to enjoy it.”
“Hey, take him,” Alex ordered.
Max and Ben dragged the man with them and exited the room while Alex signalled them not to do anything and leave the man.
“Dismiss.”
Mordek looked at exiting people and said”Are you born with thick skin? I have never seen a shameless King like you.”
Alex rubbed his nose and said, “Thank you.”
“Shamelessness and having a thick skin is an art. You wouldn’t understand it even if you try to figure it out with all your heart.”
Mordek wanted to hit his head for asking such a question.
……
On their way, Alex suddenly pulled Riya and carried her in the princess carry position.
“My Lord, what are you doing?” Alex grinned and spoke, “We are going to do what husband and wife do?”
“What!” Riya spoke and her face became red.
Alex put her down on the bed and asked”What! You don’t you want to do?’
“No. I mean yes.” Riya spoke with a cute meek voice.
Alex laughed and sleeping beside her pulled her to his embrace and spoke”Don’t worry Riya. I am not going to force you.”
“We can take all the time we want.”
“I am just happy to have you as my wife,” Alex spoke and cuddled with Riya.
“I am also happy to be your wife,” Riya spoke but noticed that Alex had already passed out and was having sweet dreams.
Riya knew that Alex hadn’t slept for many days rushing here and there and after taking care of nobles, he can finally take some rest.
Riya giggled and pulled his head to her bosom, and gave a sweet gentle kiss on his forehead.
