Alexander's Bedroom

Alexander sat with a black eye on his bed while being patted by Sarah. He was grumpy, "This little bitch!"

Lorient sat on the couch and laughed her ass off, "Hahaha! Did she really get you? Why didn't you attack her back? I thought you would be the last one who could hold back."

Narsiz chuckled, too, "Hehe, what should he do? Burn her to smithereens? He was probably too arrogant for his own good and deserved it."

Alexander defended himself, "No, I wasn't! This moron was too prideful because her shitty teacher made her finger paint for the last years, and she thought she was the hottest shit since sliced bread!"

Janina leaned on Narsiz and looked at him askingly, "I am confused."

Sarah answered her, "Nobody gets him when he's angry. Just let him rant."

Alexander looked up at her and smirked as he remembered some rumors he had heard, "Heh, how about you tell us how you almost killed Fio because he was a little sassy."

Narsiz laughed and looked at Janina, "Haha, your brother is petty. The moment he gets slighted even a little, he goes to the extremes. So if he ever tells you something mean, ignore him. He will apologize afterward."

Alexander wanted to argue but knew that his brother was right. Every time someone made him angry, something snapped in him. He was usually very calm, but since coming to this world, all his emotions were upped to eleven, and he could only control them through his skills.

He leaned deeper toward Sarah, trying to calm down, "Please scratch behind my ear... I am annoyed."

Sarah chuckled at the quick change, "Hehe, don't worry, Alex..." She started slightly scratching behind his ear, "...Grandma is furious, and I bet she will have a talk with her. However, you are right about one thing: Fio was an asshole, and I kinda wish that I made my skill much stronger, ending his little miserable life."

Alexander raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, 'I didn't say he was an asshole, though.'

He only heard gossip from some servants that Fiorello was apparently innocent. So he was interested in what could've happened that Sarah was this enraged, wishing him death, even though she appeared on the outside calm.

Lorient clicked her tongue, "Tsk, he pointed a dagger at me. Luckily, I held back. Otherwise, I would rip him a new one."

Narsiz was slowly petting Janina and thinking about what happened to his sisters aloud, "I don't get it. Usually, something like this should be exceptionally rare. Every time I heard about all those gatherings, they were mostly boring, in a good sense, and now we have two cases where we are fortunate enough that none of you snapped and injured or killed them..."

Narsiz looked at Alexander with a smirk, "...I know about Alexander and Patricia because he was loudly exclaiming for the last hour, before you visited us, how he would kill her... in many creative ways while throwing his spells around in our mansion, almost hitting some servants..."

Alexander frowned at his brother but didn't say anything. He was outraged since he couldn't attack Patricia as she was only a little girl, but nonetheless had some pent-up stress because she sucker-punched him. So the moment she left, and he was left alone, he let loose in his training room: The room was fully destroyed, and he almost set the whole mansion ablaze in his rage as he caught fire, casting contraptions and throwing them around like a maniac.

The moment Alexander's brother came back, he laughed hysterically at him. This somehow calmed him down and showed how petty he was. However, it didn't mean that he wouldn't rant about her.

Narsiz turned to his sisters, "...but what about you both?"

Lorient tried to explain, "He was, for some reason, very provocative and used his skills all the time. I don't get it. If he wanted just to have some fun, there are more than enough brothels in Wolfsteeth where he can have as many whores as he wants."

Sarah said, "His skills were so obnoxious. Luckily, Lori told me otherwise, I wouldn't even notice them..." She put a little too much force in her scratch, making Alexander squirm, "...what is wrong with him?!"

Alexander wanted to move away, but Sarah held him firmly in place. Luckily for him, she began to scratch more softly again. He focused on the topic and asked, "I also don't understand why he came here. He was obviously not forced since grandma isn't fucked in the head to bring someone like him willingly with her."

Janina looked around at how everyone was frustrated or angry, but Narsiz, "Big brother, how was your rendezvous?"

He smiled sheepishly, "It was good... I really like Lin."

Everyone looked at him in silence before commenting:

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Alexander was the first to comment, "She got'em."

Sarah showed her little pinky and twirled it like there was some thread she tied around it, "She totally has him."

Lorient was the opposite as she looked frustrated at him, "I hate you."

Janina wanted to defend Narsiz, "Why are you like this? Shouldn't we be happy for Big Brother? He seems to be very happy."

Alexander shook his head, "Nah, I want to be petty."

Sarah smiled honestly at Janina, "Not in a hundred years. He is the only one out of us with no problems, while he was also the only one we thought would have the most issues."

Lorient tapped her chin, "Well..."

Everyone looked at Lorient, who thought aloud, "Linuel is cool, and my gut feeling tells me we could be good friends."

Alexander nodded in agreement, "True. She is the same brainless huntress as..."

Lorient interrupted him, "Is one black eye not enough? I can give you another just for symmetry, you know."

Alexander smirked at her, "Bring it..."

The fight was interrupted by Narsiz, "Stop it! I like her, and she seems to be a little rough around the edges, but I can feel that she is a really nice person."

Alexander looked more closely at his brother, tried to remember her, and had an insight. He smiled mischievously at him, and his pettiness came out in full force, "Which part?"

Narsiz looked at him in confusion, "Which part what?"

Alexander's smile widened, "She has kinda big breasts and good hips, but I don't think you are the type for this... do you like the fluffy tail? Is that your thing? While Ana tried to seduce you, you weren't into her as much while she has around the same proportions."

Narsiz blushed like a red tomato and looked down. Lorient looked at him more intensely and smiled, "He likes the tail, incredible."

Janina was perplexed and asked, "What is going on?"

Sarah enlightened her, "They are talking about what Narsi finds attractive, though I think it is more of a bonus for him than the sole reason he likes her. Well..."

Narsiz suddenly yelled, "Of course, I don't just like the tail! Lin has a great personality!"

Lorient tried to calm him down, "We are just joking. Calm down, hehe. I am happy you like her, and I hope everything will be fine with both of you."

Sarah also reassured him, "Don't worry. We are all with you and wish you all the luck."

Alexander was a little perplexed because he saw a problem in his siblings being like the typical teen with pink glasses. Normally, he would ignore it since there was not much at stake except some broken hearts, but here they would literally be the next leaders, and their spouses would hold no little power with them together.

He couldn't imagine what would happen when it didn't work and they needed a divorce. Actually, he didn't even know if divorces were a thing here.

So, before their cities would be divided in half, he interjected, wanting to remind them to be more cautious, "I don't want to be a downer, but isn't it too early to tell? They had one date, and while I wish it works out in the future..." He looked sincerely at Narsiz, "...please be more careful."

While Alexander wished his brother nothing but happiness, he knew that young love was fickle. He had more than enough colleagues or friends who sat on his couch and cried about how all women were whores. The worst was the one who stabbed him. He always had some problems and came every week, crying to him about how nothing worked out in his life.

Janina was confused and looked at Alexander, not really understanding what he meant, till Sarah explained, "Oh, you don't know, I guess..." She looked at Janina in thought, "...do you think the same as Alex?"

Janina shook her head, "Not really... I have this feeling that the moment I see someone, I would know if he is the right person... is this wrong?"

Narsiz sighed and became serious, "No, this is normal. When we spend some time with someone, we immediately know if it is the right person..."

He corrected himself, "However, Alexander is right that one should be cautious for multiple reasons. Skills are such a reason as they could manipulate you to like someone intrinsically, but what he means is probably that I am young and that love can wane quickly. Still, it usually only happens around the mating season and if love is confused with lust."

Lorient also commented, "Yeah, I remember last year and how I had a crush on..." She shivered slightly, "...Sarusos. However, it was just a phase as I was about a year away from my first season, so Alex is right that you should be careful. You will probably have yours in a year or so, and everything feels now weird for you."

Narsiz nodded, blushing a little, "I know, but I am truly trying to get to know Lin slowly. However, even if we like each other, we wouldn't get together if our plans don't fit, which is another factor to consider."

Janina happily nodded while Alexander had an ominous feeling and an insight, 'Holy shit, I totally inherited my human self...'

On Earth, this stupid thing they described was called love at first sight, and he was never someone who went full in after seeing someone for the first time. However, here, it seemed to be the norm when other factors were ignored, which were previously mentioned.

There was some feeling inside of him which pressed on his chest, feeling alineation because he was not from this world. It was maybe only love now, but there could be more things that would make him different from his family. He hated this feeling.

Narsiz looked at Alexander and continued, interrupting his inner crisis, "Alex, I know you didn't mean to be cautious in the same sense I explained. You probably don't understand the feeling I have, right? It is the same problem you had during our lesson with Anastasia and Aro."

Alexander looked at his brother and didn't like what he said. Yet, before he could make a stupid joke about interventions to play it off, Sarah was the first to speak up worryingly, "Well, you are kind of weird in all the ways."

Lorient lazily leaned deeper into the couch while putting one leg over the other and exclaimed her opinion, "Yeah, you are too intelligent and have weird common sense even though you are so young."

Alexander started to sweat and became nervous. His emotions intensified even more as he feared the worst as thousands of thoughts rushed through his head, and one became the most prominent, 'Please don't tell me there are records about people from other worlds...'

Panic sipped inside him, which was only held back by his magnitudes of skills. Otherwise, he would probably break down as he had such emotions since the whole incest debate when he truly understood that he was very different.

However, he hoped that no moron actually announced themselves as Earthlings and recorded it vigorously. Merlin came to his mind, 'I hope he didn't do it...'

If the populace knew that there could be someone from another world, there would be many consequences. Everyone who was very irregular from birth on could be scrutinized or worse. The last thing Alexander wanted was to be cast out from his family because he occupied the body of the true Alexander, which was a terrible thought he loved to ignore.

However, Narsiz quickly deescalated Alexander's thoughts, which went in the worst possible direction, "We love you, Alex, but I somehow fear that your personality will be seen as something... let's say negative."

Lorient waved her hand in dismissal, "He can stomach it..." She looked at Alexander, "...you are weird, very much so. If you don't change, everyone will see you as someone unsocial."

Alexander tilted his head in confusion, "Is that all?"

Narsiz chuckled at this, "Hehe, figures you would say this, but this will not bode well if I think about your plans to change our fief, especially when you deal with others."

Alexander shrugged and wanted first to dismiss it but found it actually cute how his siblings worried about him and wanted to thank them. He smiled sincerely, which was a rarity for the cynical wolf-kin puppy, "Thank you for your worries, but as long as I have my family who loves me, I will be fine... as long as Patricia doesn't kill me, of course, hehe."

Sarah ruffled his hair, "Hehe, you will be fine. I pummeled you much worse in our training sessions."

The talks continued deep into the night, and for some reason, Alexander appreciated it a lot since all he had done for the last years was to work as much as he could on himself since he had this idealism in the back of his head that scratched against his mind like a nail.

However, nothing was as comforting as a bonding session where they were there for each other and just talked honestly. There was also the obvious perk that he could freely rant about Patricia.

...

Much later, the Lord and Lady's bedroom, Leonandra's estate

"Guhahaha! Did he get punched? What a wild girl! I told him that women are like the weather. Sometimes, you need to wear warmer clothes."

Marisia stared at her husband until he stopped laughing and smiled sheepishly. She just sighed and couldn't believe what happened. At first, she thought Alexander had gone overboard with his eccentric personality and deserved it. Still, after listening to all accounts, she immediately changed her presumption: It was all Patricia's fault, and she now had a decision to make on how to react.

She wanted first to talk to both of them, but it seemed all fine after what her mother, Narsiz, and Anastasia told her. Alexander ranted to his heart's content toward his siblings, and Patricia wanted to change. All solved, mostly.

While she was happy that Narsiz and Linuel came along just fine and slowly like she wanted. There was also Fiorello, who made her almost put him down after what she had heard about his little tricks. She wasn't too keen on letting him stay, but her mother assured her she had a plan if something weird should happen, so she just hoped for the best and trusted her fully in such situations. However, she would make sure to bring more guards to look after them.

She was stressed and wasn't in the mood for a talk or to think about anything else. Because of her puppies, she was under much pressure for the last weeks as they were exceptionally hard to control. Only now did she understand why some parents would send their puppies to boarding schools.

Lorient had her first mating season, and looking after her became nothing but annoying after the first week when she found it cute how she tried to sneak out. After the tenth time or so, it became annoying that she accidentally broke her arm. Yet, it was nothing too serious as it could be healed quickly.

Sarah had some escapades, but after punishing her heavily, she calmed down. However, she needed to be looked after, and Marisia did it by training with her. She made sure to show her what the Outer Circle may feel like so she wouldn't repeat her irresponsible actions again.

Then there was Alexander, who was highly unpredictable and needed to be constantly watched while being checked on his research. Luckily, most who watched him did it voluntarily and were competent, as he was a great help to the estate even while being so young.

Marisia was genuinely grateful for Narsiz and Janina being the least problematic and rather tame. However, only time would tell how they would become, 'They can't become worse than Alex... hopefully...'

There was also the whole fight with her mother. It all went better than expected, but she had some nagging feeling that she went back to her old ways, 'She probably wants to train Alex... hehe, good luck, Mom.'

It was actually not bad for her since she could trust Alexander in one department: He was incredibly stubborn. For example, even though she forbade him to write down any of his illegal ideas about other governance systems, Aro found some documents that were written in an unknown language. She assumed he invented it so nobody would know his utopian thoughts.

So, while her mother would break her fangs on Alexander, trying to force him to do things he didn't want, Narsiz had become almost invisible to her. Of course, she needed to look after Alexander to ensure that her mother wouldn't go wild, but she trusted her to have at least changed so that she didn't become more violent. Also, her warnings should be enough to force her to try to educate someone without force. Otherwise, she would kick her out for good.

She threw everything to the back of her head and needed to let off some steam, "Take off your clot... why are you naked already?!"

Kairoso strolled toward her, smiling, "Like I don't know, my little flower. Whenever you are like this, you need first me to take off your stress, am I right?"

He understood her like the back of his hand. Every time she waggled her tail too much while being with him, it meant that she was under too much pressure. He was luckily more relaxed and cool-headed in such situations.

Like this, he was a wedge for his wife, who sometimes became too involved in everything. When he was at the estate, he would drag her away from problems she shouldn't care about in the first place and let them play out instead of involving herself too much or, like now, just being there for her.

Many thought Kairoso was always terrible regarding management, but this wasn't true. He led a successful mercenary group in the past and now was solely responsible for the whole military outside the estate. It just looked like he didn't care, as he delegated all the work where he wasn't needed to others so he could concentrate on the things where he was needed.

His wife was the complete opposite. She was very controlling and wanted to micro-manage every little minutia. Her personality was also one of the reasons why he decided to take on every campaign, as she would be too ineffective and need too much time.

The other reason was that he needed an outlet for his bloodline, as he sometimes snapped.

He saw how Marisia slowly took off her clothes, and he came out of his thoughts. He would have a sleepless night without much talking.
