33 Chapter 33 (1/2)
**Author Note**
Very sorry for the late chapter, I wrote the damn thing only for it to be completely erased from my notes(because I write the chapters through my phone) and instead of the new chapter that wrote it was the old chapter that was copied into Chapter 33, it was confusing and frustrating to no end... and then I decided to write it in web novel, I lost everything again(except for the first ten words) And then I finally wrote a third time and finally it was saved! :')
**Author Note END**
Sophia slowly inched closer towards Florestine who was working on her business documents and paperwork.
”...F-Florestine... we need to talk!” She spoke softly as Flroestine to her.
”What do you want to speak about?” Florestine asked her coldly and glared at her.
”It's about Alexis!” Sophia responded while ignoring the cold tone and glare she received from the older woman.
”I love him!” She declared as the pen Florestine was holding onto fell down, she could only look at Sophia in shock as she sighed and massaged her head...
”Very well...”

Alexis was currently at the Imperial Science foundation that has been getting popular among the masses positively, there were a few complaints but were silenced since the advent of Science...
He was seated on the sofa set inside Magnus's room and was looking at Marcus who was kneeling down, waiting to report to him.
”Marcus, How is your organisation?” He asked as the youngest male in the room cleared his throat and raised his head.
”Boss, the organisation is complete now and is functioning properly! I also sent a team of operatives into the Republic, they will come back in six months... so like next year.” Marcus reported in a serious tone.
”Hmm... good job.” Alexis complimented him and nodded in satisfaction.
”Stand up now...: Alexis sighed and rested his back against the cushion.
”Wait boss... um... there is something I have to tell you...” Marcus said with a wry smile and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
”Go ahead, what is it?” Alexis motioned him to continue as Marcus looked around and sweated.
”Well... the thing is... I'm kinda talking to your sister!” He informed him and looked down.
”Hmm... is that so? Whatever” Alexus dismissed him as Marcus became shocked.
”EH?! Is that it? Aren't elder brothers supposed to like be protective or something??” Marcus shouted with a weird expression.
However, before he could speak any further, he felt excruciating pain all over his body and kneeled on the floor in pain.
”Heh! just don't make her cry...” Alexis warned him and deactivated the spell as Marcus grinned and nodded immediately, the young boy tiredly walked over to a sofa and fell down, his body twitched every once in a while due to the pain inflicted on him...
Alexis then turned to Magnus who laughed heartily seeing the scene.
”Magnus, how goes the research on the automatic weaponry?” He asked the old man who gained a serious face and looked at Alexis.
”Your highness, we have produced a Machine gun however it is big, heavy and needs to be carried by atleast three people but it's power and the rapid fire is the best so far...” Magnus informed him.
The man then took out a paper that contained the drawing of the said gun, Alexis observed it and realised that it resembled that of the Maxim Gun, used by soldiers during the First world war...
”We call it the 'Type-X1', better and lighter variants will be named under this name” Magnus added.
”It uses water as the cooling agent, this means that the soldiers need to have a supply of water throughout battles when in use.” He explained.
”As for the automatic rifles... that needs more time but we have quite a few ideas as to how we can achieve that level of technology!” The old man finished his speech and glanced at Alexis who sighed.
”Keep up the work, for now the army will be using the Type-X1, hopefully we will be able to see a X2 and an X3 model when the war starts!” Alexis stated with a smile and walked over to Marcus who was lying on the sofa.
The duo then disappeared in a bright light, reporting to his palace.
-●-●-●-
The duo appeared infront Alexis' palace and saw Sophia, Florestine and Irene staring back at them...
”Irene!” Marcus exclaimed with a grin and waved his hand excitedly as Irene looked down in embarrassment, this made the two older women to squint their eyes at the younger girl suspiciously.
Alexis glanced at the two women and sighed, they looked like they wanted to talk to him.
”Marcus, you can take Irene away...” He said as the boy ran and grabbed the girl who yelped but smiled, they left immediately leaving Alexis and the two women alone.
”Your highness, you are a beast...” Florestine mumbled as she hugged Alexis tightly.
”What do you mean?” Alexis asked her in confusion as Florestine looked up at him with her big emerald green eyes, a fond smile crept onto his face when he saw this and kissed her forehead.
”...I will let you go after Sophia...” She whispered into his ear as Alexis widened his eyes and looked at Sophia who blushed.
Alexis did not want to sound greedy but the mere thought of being surrounded by two beautiful women did not sound too bad...
But the fact that he has to take care of two women made him groan inwardly, he then motioned Sophia to come closer and gently hugged her by the waist with his free arm.
”Sophia, I don't love you as of now, but trying to does not seem that bad...” He said with a smile and pecked her cheek as she immediately turned beet red and ran away while Alexis snickered in amusement.
He then whispered something into Florestine's ear which made her nod meekly as the couple entered their empty palace together...

Alexis was writing down some notes on his diary, it was a leather covered book with the soft white fur of the animal still on it...
He was about to write some more until he heard Florestine's voice.
”Your highness... will we ever have children?” He heard her strained voice as the pen on his hand went out of control and ruined the page with a big long line of black ink...
Alexis grimaced at the mess on his book but shook his head, it was his fault for losing his cool.
