Bang.

As soon as he asked that question, his head went straight into the wall the next second.

Vina, who was in the kitchen earlier, had returned and slapped the guy straight to the wall. She politely asked Alex, "Your Majesty. May I hit him?"

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows while answering inwardly, 'You have hit him though…'

Not waiting for Alex to answer, she complained to Rilt with a sigh. "Dear…What are you saying to him?"

Anna and Anya looked away, knowing this would happen and said to Alex. "Don't mind about my father. He is a fool."

"What?! This is very important. I need to see his preference first to check whether he is genuine or not. I can also see his type." Rilt shouted with his butt sticking out of the wall.

"Dear? Can you shut up a little bit?"

"My wife, can't you be gentler to me? Why are you spoiling the kid but not me?" Rilt paused before continuing with his usual useless talk. "By the way, I am stuck here. Why does this feel so wrong? You should be the one stuck here, so I can…hehe…"

"This is the reason. Besides, I have been gentle this whole time, right? If not, I have dealt with you since the beginning. If you continue talking, I will let you choose…What kind of pain do you want to endure? Curse? Poison? Physical Torture? Or Mental Torture?" Vina, nonetheless, was a Dark Goddess.

She obviously could do what Anna could, considering Anna's abilities were inherited from her.

"Wife…I can't choose. As long as it's not mental torture, I can endure it. After all, my skill can't heal a mental wound." Rilt answered honestly.

"You are not going to ask forgiveness first?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.

"This is why you are still a kid. What she did earlier was a slap of love. Besides, she will spoil me after bullying me… That's a kind of reward too…"

"…" Alex closed his eyes, not knowing how to reply to this guy's statement. Even Anna and Anya facepalmed and looked away.

"And wife, I asked him this question because you love knitting. If we know his preference, won't you be able to make clothes for Anna and Anya that can help them?" Rilt stated his reason for asking a stupid question.

"Dear… I am sorry." Vina, surprisingly, apologized to him with a warm smile.

"Eh? What?" Alex was bewildered as he couldn't understand what was wrong with this family.

"Then how about—"

"It's still no."

"I haven't finished yet," Rilt complained while trying to free himself from the wall without destroying more of it.

"You will probably ask his favorite color and other things for obvious reasons. Clothes need different colors with different styles."

"Fine, fine. You win." He sighed. When he freed himself, he came back to the table with a serious expression. "Still, I need to know. Which one do you prefer?"

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows, and he was even more surprised by the fact that Vina didn't stop him anymore.

Anna and Anya fell silent, not helping him out of this situation.

Alex wondered what would be the correct and the best answer. He actually never thought about this, and he thought of them equally. After contemplating for one minute, he found the perfect answer that wouldn't cause a stir. "Thighs."

Rilt widened his eyes. They then turned sharp as if he noticed what Alex meant. "As expected of the king, I am impressed."

Rather than choosing one, he would choose the third option. This showed how innovative Alex was and how he wanted to solve the problem in his own way. That was why he admitted that Alex was the king.

"I don't know what you are talking about…" Alex closed his eyes, ignoring the prying eyes.

Even so, Rilt didn't let him off the hook as he said to his wife. "You heard him. He loves thighs. We need to make something short like a short skirt or short pants. Maybe some accessories for feet…"

"Don't worry. I have the design ready in my mind." She chuckled.

Alex sweatdropped. There was no way he could escape this topic unscathed.

"Father, Mother. It's enough. You should be more serious." Anna decided to stop them since Alex had answered that foolish question.

"That's important though?"

"But it's not a question that parents-in-law should ask…"

"No, no. That depends on who the parents-in-law are. When I become a father, I have three rules. First rule! I am not afraid of becoming the whole world's enemy. Second, I can do the worst thing for my daughters. Third, I will do my best for your happiness without forcing my ideal. That's why I need to ask this question." Rilt answered with a serious expression.

Alex scratched the back of his head. "I admire Father's rule."

"Right? I remember that I almost killed you back then because of the second rule."

"…" Alex fell silent again.

Vina let out a sigh and rose from the ground. "Anyway, the food is almost done. Let's eat first. Anna, Anya, help me take out the plates."

"Yes!" The two rose and followed Vina to the kitchen, leaving Alex and Rilt in the room.

Rilt stared at the three until he couldn't see them anymore. His gentle smile remained as he looked at them like a treasure.

"What can I say? They are my treasures."

Alex nodded. "I can understand."

"Anyway, I have something serious to talk about. Follow me to the backyard." He pointed at the door behind him.

"I understand." Alex rose from the floor and followed Rilt.

"So, I will greet you again formally. It's nice to see you take the position, Your Majesty." While opening the door, Rilt bowed his head to him and let him go out first.

"I don't know if I will be a good ruler, but I will try my best. I will start learning about Eulja as a whole too after this. I hope you can help me." Alex nodded and left the room, finding a huge garden behind the house. The garden alone was even wider than any field he had practiced before. He walked to the garden with curiosity.

"If it's within my territory, then I can help you, but if you want to learn it as a whole, it's better to study under Korzan. He is a madman in terms of office work."

"Then, may I know—"

Suddenly, Alex was grabbed from behind. It turned out to be Rilt.

He restrained his hands and feet, not allowing him to move an inch. He then touched Alex's forehead as the Spirit Crown appeared mysteriously.

"Eh?" Alex widened his eyes as he couldn't comprehend what just happened. He never used the Spirit Crown. Yet, it appeared before him. "What is that touch?"

Rilt didn't answer him. Instead, he threw him away before waving his hand, releasing three light balls that flew toward Alex.

Alex summoned Eve and cut them down easily, but he could only find a disappointment in Rilt's face.

"Spirit Crown has the ability to blossom your technique by strengthening it to its ultimate limits. This is a trump card for the one and only Spirit God. No, I should say this is the one thing that allows the Spirit God to reach his standing.

"Unfortunately, you haven't used it to its fullest potential yet." Rilt closed his eyes for a second as he disappeared again.

Alex used his Spirit Eyes and found him already moved behind him. He turned around, but Rilt had already grasped his wrist and waved Alex's hand, so his sword hit the ground.

Boom.

The next second, he realized that the ground burst out powerful energy, destroying half the backyard in an instant.

Alex dropped his jaw as he knew that it was just a light push. He never intended to hit it like this. Yet, the hit completely obliterated the backyard. It wasn't supposed to happen.

"What did—"

"If I place the power of the Spirit Crown to the tip of your sword, I can destroy the entire backyard with just a light push without using any power other than the Spirit Crown's enhancement."

"This is the real power of the Spirit Crown? How do—"

"How do I know?" Rilt smiled as he released Alex and opened his eyes.

It shocked Alex once again as he could see a shining star in his eyes that had overbearing energy. "It's because the Spirit Crown is a technique derived from my God Eyes."

Alex couldn't contain his surprise anymore as he asked, "That means…The previous me copied it from you?"

"Not necessarily so. I will tell you about the story later, but what I want to discuss is the training for your Spirit Crown. Are you prepared?"

"Yes!" Since the hidden opportunity had arrived, there was no way he would miss this chance.

"Let me teach you how to channel the power hidden inside the Spirit Crown. If you can do it, you can even enhance your hand to the limit. I am not saying it can increase your brute strength, but it will surely give you the energy to break something that you can't break before."

"So that's why you were disappointed when I used my sword?"

"Yes. I want to see how much you have discovered the power of the Spirit Crown, but it seems you haven't used it yet." He sighed.

"I am sorry. There are various reasons…" Alex scratched the back of his head.

"I don't mind. Do you want me to show you how to do it first?"

"Please." Alex bowed his head.

Rilt cracked his hand and grabbed Alex's hand. He then began moving Alex's hands as if trying to do a weird dance.

"Hehe…This is the trick. Can you see that the Blue Jewel on your Spirit Crown began shining? It's storing the energy." He made a smug smile, ignoring the fact that this weird dance was super embarrassing.

"Yes. I can see that. But how do you use it?"

"Your body will tell you how to use that…"

"There is no way I will believe such an explanation, right?" Alex twitched his eyebrows.

"Of course not. After all, that is a lie, hahaha!"

"I don't know whether you are serious or not at this point." Alex let out a long sigh.

"First of all, your Spirit Crown needs to be charged first before you can use it. Before going into detail, I will explain the four abilities that your Spirit Crown can do. First will be the continuous usage of Spirit Eyes and Spirit Step. The second usage is Sharing, while the third one is Blossom. What I want to teach you is the fourth one, Enhancement."

"Enhancement…" Alex muttered the ability name.

"Yes. It's a kind of Anya's sharing ability where you can get a bit of power-up. Your Enhancement can power up to twenty percent of its original power by using the energy stored in the Spirit Crown. Of course, it involves energy, or how can you have that kind of power? The earlier swing is using my energy."

"I see. In that case, how do I release that energy?"

"It's through training. That's what I will teach you… The problem will be…Are you ready for training?" He made an excited smile.

Alex's expression turned serious as he nodded his head.

Creak.

Suddenly, Anna came out of the house, trying to call them to eat together. "Father, Alex. The food is ready. Let's—"

However, the next second, both Anna and Alex noticed that Rilt had pointed his palm toward Anna.

"The training starts now." He smirked and released that light ball.

"Eh?" Anna widened her eyes as the light ball hit her.

Boom.

The smoke covered the garden as the wind began blowing them away. It turned out that Alex had appeared before her with his hand on the front as if he just stopped the light ball with his hand. And the blue jewel on his Spirit Crown was shining.

"As I said, your body will tell you how." Rilt smirked.
