Chapter 61 - Identity Revealed - Part 1

"Here~", he personally gave it to the girl while the rest of them were being distributed by Bandis and Zor.

The moment others saw food, they too started to run towards them to join however due to coming late they were given only half a slice of the bread and half the bottle of milk.

Though they were given half, their hunger was being satisfied. The taste was also better than what they used to have here.

Most of the times they don't even get something to eat for 1 month or more. At that time they pick up some grasses and eat them or live just by drinking water.

Alex was indeed aware of the situation and he did tell some of the ministers to take care of this problem, but the ministers were greedy and ate of everything.

Initially they came and gave a little proportion of the food that was actually provided but slowly they started to decrease the amount and finally they stopped giving!

Alex was still unaware about this and as usual he was given out food for them every week but it seemed that the ministers were so greedy that they not only took everything for themselves, but also put tax on the land where they used to live.

Rex had a different point of view. He didn't want to just offer or give them food as it would make them lazy. He wanted to give them what they would rightfully earn.

They had to work and only after that would he give them anything to eat.

This was a wise step for the development of the kingdom whic was started by Rex. This was his plan initially since he had been hearing about them during their journey.

"Oh my God, from where is he producing the food?", Narsus and the rest were completely shocked.

They weren't able to understand the source of food because Rex hadn't brought anything with him earlier. In fact the bags which contained bread appeared out of nowhere and the milk too.

"I think he has some sort of spatial magic..."

It was indeed a sort of spatial magic but was a bit different at the same time. It was actually the storage ability of the system which could hold the enormous amount of food.

He was actually getting the food from various places earlier and had stored it inside the space where the time didn't flow and die to that nothing rot or decayed.

Soon the amount of people coming to get food decreased and finally almost all of them had their fill and were a bit satisfied. However there was some lingering greed which was clearly seen on their expression.

It was as if they wanted even more delicious meals everyday and Rex took advantage of this.

"Listen everyone, this was just a sample! You will be given food daily, but in return you have to work for it!"

Some of them hesitated since they couldn't trust him. Even when they tried to work at other places for money, they were basically thrown away or kicked out when it was time for their payment.

But since they had amazing meal and somewhat believed in him, they were ready to take risk. They asked, "What work will we be getting Master!"

Rex grinned and immediately moved closer to them. He then said, "You all will be given different works based on different category! First of all you will be taught some things and some rules after that we will start the work..."

Rex immediately departed after saying that and so did the other two. Narsus and others started to fail then again.

"Master... they are still following us! What should we do?", Bandis whispered in Rex's ears.

Rex shook his head and said using telepathy, "Don't so anything, they are just worried that's it!"

Bandis nodded his head and went along with Rex towards the carpenter's shop.

"Um excuse me..."

A novice carpenter immediately came out who used to make small pieces of works.

"Yes sir, How May I help you?"

Rex immediately nodded his head and Bandis started speaking, "We want someone who is good at furniture works. We want to hire him to teach some people about the works."

The man was confused so all he did was just refuse and said, "I'm sorry, if you want to buy something only then you can stay here. Or else please go~"

"Uhhh!!! This person...", Bandis got agitated on hearing him talk so rudely.

'If only he was here...', is what Rex thought.

He immediately glanced inside the shop and found that there was no one. Then he used 'SEARCH' spell for a large distance area and could finally find the HEAD carpenter who was near the TOOLS shop.

"Huh? If I'm not wrong he just now used a high level spell - SEARCH!", Narsus exclaimed.

"Oh my God! Isn't that a very high level spell?"

Narsus said nervously, "Well, only his highness and her highness can perform this in our country..."

All of them stood staring at Rex and concluded that he was very dangerous for the kingdom of he were to decide to attack the kingdom.

Zor and Bandis immediately ran towards the head while Rex stayed there and took a look at the works. There were many door princes and window pieces being made which was were Amazing.

Both Bandis and Zor bright the Head aa soon as they could by convincing him for a long time.

Rex had strictly ordered Bandis to not harm The Head since he was an important person and that's why Bandis controlled his anger and asked almost hundred times only after which he had agreed.

"Why did you bring me to my own shop? Whom do you want me to meet with?"

Rex was taking a look at the works when he realized that he had already arrived.

"Master, we bright him here..."

The man came forward and shouted, "Who are you punk? Why did you suddenly call me here?"

Rex smiled a bit and said, "You really have the same style of talking even after all these years, Viras Uncle!"

"Huh?"

The old man was named as Viras. He was a splendid carpenter who was praised by Alex himself and was visited by him many times. In one of those times, he has bright Rex along and thanks to that time he was able to remember him properly.

"Uncle...? Only two kids have me called that so far..."

Rex smiled a bit which was hidden due to the darkness that was because of the hood he was wearing.

"One Of then was princess Julia and the other was..."

"Haha! It's me uncle!"

"It can't be... prince REX!!?"

Rex immediately removed the robe that he was wearing which made his deep red hairs visible. His red sparkling eyes looked like a ruby and his smile filled Viras's heart with warmth.

He immediately hugged him and said, "Where have you been prince!!!? Do you even know how much everyone we're worried about you!!!?"

Viras didn't even doubt when he looked at Rex because the eyes and hair were exactly the same as the child Rex when he was only 3 or 4.

But the main reason why he hugged was because he missed Rex as they used to spend a lot of time together when he used to teach him many things for fun.

Even though he was a lowly carpenter and just like any other commoner, Rex never looked at him with disgusting eyes.

All the royals and nobles used to look down on commoners and slaves however that was a different story for Alex, Elina, Julia and Rex.

They never discriminated in such a way and always talked to their hearts content. So when Rex called him uncle again his heart was filled with joy.

However some else was even more surprised than Viras. It was none other than Narsus.

"I... I can't believe my eyes!"

Others who were with Narsus suddenly glanced at him and asked, "Narus! Are you alright? Is something wrong?"

Narsus kept on staring at Rex. He had immediately identified who he was. He thought about him missing for so many years and finally making his appearance at such a crucial time.

"Maybe... just maybe we can win this war....", he said.

"Our kingdom will grow to be even better than before!!"

Others thought that something wrong might have happened to Narsus as he was behaving strangly but it was only him who knew the truth.

"Bring me immediately to his highness!!! I have something amazing to report to him."

Narsus himself wanted to see their reactions when he would hear about Rex and his powers which had grown drastically from the old times.

Narsus believed that his power might have been equal to that of Alex even at such an young age.

And that was why he immediately departed leaving only one of them behind who stayed there to observe Rex even more.
