Chapter 89: Training

"I'd say, that's the last thing you should feel bad about, you lost against a god after all, what did you expect?" Alex omitted the part about him almost losing.

'But hey, I wouldn't lose now!' Alex made up excuses to justify his loss.

"By the way, what's the competition?" Alex wished to know how many candidates the prince was up against.

"We're about 2000 legitimate children...."

"!!!!!!"

"How does that even happen?!" Alex exclaimed.

"Well, all the Brahmin families rushed to marry their daughters to Father when he attained godhood, and with 150 years of rule, you can imagine how many that meant." Aadityapal nonchalantly answered.

'Da*mn'

Alex averted his eyes and an awkward silence filled the courtyard.

However, Alex perceived something strange.

When he looked at the prince's sword on the grass, his observation skills from Hephaestus passively came into play.
