Advertisement
During the following days Alexander lived like a normal baby, Sometimes he played with his sisters and sometimes with his grandparents, While Audrey and Anna were training, Thanks to Alexander giving directions to Audrey during the nights, her and his mother's Cultivation Increased very quickly. But since the two were cultivating from the beginning, the people around them did not notice the changes in their cultivation.
An average person has a certain limit to their strength, after breaking that limit, they can reach the first stage of body refinement, suppose an average person has a limit of 50 Pounds of strength, but when he reaches the first stage of body refinement, their strength increases to 100 pounds and when he advances to the next stage his strength increases by 50 pounds for each stage until the third stage, from fourth to the sixth stage his strength increases by 100 pounds for each stage and from seventh to the ninth stage it'll increase by 200 pounds for each stage, so the strength of a person at the peak of the ninth stage of body refinement is 1100 pounds he can defeat 22 ordinary people all by himself without breaking a sweat!
But due to the cultivation technique, his mother and Audrey become invincible within the same cultivation level, as with their cultivation technique they received twenty percent more strength than others without cultivation techniques. Alexander could give them a better cultivation technique but he thought about the future, if he gives them a treasure coveted by all they may end up dead, besides that "Six Animal forms" was created only to be used in the Realm of body refinement, due to that it was classified as Low-rank technique, but when it comes to refining the body it's the best technique available, Many treated this technique as garbage, but in the eyes of Alexander, who spent more than a thousand years researching techniques, saw through its depth and deduced the real motive of the creator, which was only to lay deep foundations for the following Realms.

Because of this, he gave this technique to this pair of women, with this technique their subsequent cultivation will be much smoother than others even if they do not have any Open Seals.
Everything was normal, time went by, until two weeks later, Something unexpected happened, The Queen and the First Prince had disappeared, When the king found out about it he became furious, this was a great shame to have his wife and son kidnapped from his own palace, he could not let this be made public, If not where his face would be, He would have no face to give to his people and even less to his father-in-law!
So, he ordered everyone to keep this matter a secret and not to be spread, If anyone spoke of the disappearance, Then he and his whole family would be executed, The king to give the same order twice, seeing the situation of the king, they sighed and remained silent. He then later ordered to close the capital, not a person leaves or enters the city.
During the next two days, the king secretly ordered to search throughout the capital, it did not matter if it was a powerful gang of the underworld or a noble family, everyone who was a suspect was sent to prison, and then interrogated. During these searches, several criminals were found and investigated regards to addition networks of these people and many other things, but as we are a family friendly novel we will not say it.
The king upon hearing of these cases sent to execute his minister of justice and his chief knight, These two were linked to several cases of corruption, In addition to other nobles and corrupt merchants who were uncovered, These actions of the king were too unexpected , they did not have time to hide, During those two days they were hell for the corrupt nobles, Hundreds of heads were cut off, While the plebeians did not know what was happening but when they saw those noblemen being executed, they felt that there was justice in this world. Some even knelt and shouted to the sky with happiness. the day they thought it would never come, has arrived.

The King was too angry, He found everything in his Capital minus his wife and son, Then he took his search to the whole Kingdom, During the next ten days, it same thing as in the Capital repeated In each and every City hundreds of cases were found of corruption, Among other things, All the corrupt were executed publicly in their respective cities. This was known as "The twelve-day purge." It did not matter if he was a powerful noble or a village chief, everyone who had committed a crime was executed on the king's orders. Those days hundreds of thousands of heads were cut off.
For the plebeian this made them see the king in a new light, This king was a righteous man for them, This was how he won the approval of the plebeians and their loyalty. but at that time the king was not interested in all that, he was crazy looking for his wife and son.

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
