"5050!" The number recited sounded almost magical to the presiding teacher and it caused him to turn around to face the young student with almost a blocky countenance. "Wha.. what did you say?" Looking at the innocent face, the man's lips twitched a bit as he sought to confirm that what he had heard was indeed correct. The reason for this overt reaction was because this teacher indeed knew the correct answer was 5050. It was something he was even quite proud to know because this was one of the…-

Chapter 967 Prince Perikles stayed in the library for almost the remainder of the day, sitting around a table near the corner, away from most prying eyes, and going through the section detailing Adhania's history. It was a topic that he did not have much familiarity with and thus wanted to catch up. And here, one of the specific mentions that he wished to view was information about Alexander. Because the prince suddenly came to the realization that despite the man's name being almost synonymous…

Prince Perikles scanned the various bookshelves located at the various alcoves, each dedicated to the pursuit of one subject, be they be astronomy, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, literature, history, and even a few books on the natural sciences. Just the collection on the first floor was breathtaking for the prince, as it included many famous books from both the territories of Adhania and Tibias. And they were original prints at that! Prince Perikles could not help but read a few lines from…

The term 'Public Library' written just above the building's gate in large bold white letters was enough to capture Prince Prince Perikles's interest the moment he laid eyes upon them. And for a moment he was confused by it. Prince Perikles of course knew the two words. But always separately. He had never heard of, much less seen them together. "What is that building for? The words say public library. Is it a library meant for the higher ups of the city?" Hence, thinking at first that it was…

The fifth day of Alexander's celebrations consisted of a hunting trip arranged around the back of the Cisran hills. There the various lords were on large, powerful steeds, dressed in colorful attire, carrying bows and some even the newly invented crossbows, alongside sleek, black hounds, held in place by their leashes, each eager to break out for the hunt. Alexander was the one to blow the horn for the start of the contest, and for the rest of the day, the group of nobles rode in small groups…

Alexander's seven day feast consisted of various activities, most scheduled to take place on that same ground. Now, you ask what the nobles did to celebrate for seven days straight. Well, the first day was the general pleasantries and celebrations, where the nobles once again toasted to Alexander's success. This had seemed largely irrelevant to the man since they had done it literally not even two days ago. But it was seemingly important for the nobles. They wanted any and all opportunities to…

It was apparent that Princess Camelia's first impression of the other four was less than ideal indeed. And Alexander's lukewarm defense of sparing the princess the cane did not help, as it did nothing to placate the mistress of the house, only further enraging her. Cambyses usually loved the fact that Alexander never tried to hurt or abuse his spouses, something that was, unfortunately, quite a common occurrence, especially among regular people. 'It keeps them in line.' They said. But that did…

If Alexander had gone back to the party right now, he would have found the entire place very different from how he left it. For one, he would have found many, very expensive clothes on the ground, all being furiously collected by various servants. While right next to them writhed a mass of flesh and limbs, grasping and entangling each other in passionate embrace. In some of those groups, women were being bent over and filled all three ways like a stuffed turkey, only able to occasionally let out a…

The victory party celebrations drew itself deep, deep into the night, as Alexander was forced to meet and entertain all the attending nobles, hundreds of them, with each only slightly altering the same hackneyed praises he had heard a thousand times. all pertaining to praising his exploits and then toasting to his success. Sure, Alexander had enjoyed the adulation for the first few times. But after perhaps the fiftieth time, his ears began to hurt. Worse, he could not even get drunk to drown out…

"Do you think Pyanos would become captain without your father's help!He is the one who paid for that!" This very interesting remark made by the matriarch of the house drew quite a bit of attention from all those present, who all sent her curious looks. While her husband sent scorching glares. Clearly she was not supposed to tell this. And feeling this displeased glare, the realization of her mistake made the woman shrink a bit. "Oh, what's all the secret! It's been years. And we are all family…
