3 Scheme

At night, in John's room.

Two people, a man and a woman, were engaging in sexual intercourse.

\"John, I want to make Alexander exiled from this kingdom.\" Said Sandra with a seducing smile.

\"That is a good idea. But how do we exile him?\"

\"We can just ask the king. With Alexander's status, the king surely won't protect him.\" Sandra explained.

\"Are you sure that will work? I mean, the king didn't have too many reactions on Alex's status.\"

\"But, we can just manipulate the emotions of those old me- I mean, those ministers. We can just say he might do something extreme to pursue me. Those ministers would probably support us rather than Alex. They could help us in 'convincing' the king.\" Sandra said with an evil smile.

\"You are an evil woman, aren't you…Hehe… But first…\" He placed his hand on Sandra's thigh. They continued their passionate night.

Meanwhile in Alex's room,

'Knock, knock.' 

Alex was surprised about this sudden knock at his door. \"Who?\"

\"It's me, Maria.\" Alex was more surprised to see Maria coming.

\"Please come in.\" He opened the door and invited Maria in.

\"Can we talk?\" Before she came in, she asked.

\"…\" He pondered for a moment and nodded.

\"I'm sorry for what happened to you and my childhood friend, Sandra.\" She bowed to Alex.

Alex shook his head, and he said, \"It's not even your fault, why did you even apologize to me? Wasn't you also against the idea of me becoming Sandra's boyfriend?\"

Maria guiltily explained, \"At first, I was indeed against that idea. But, after I overheard that you bought a Golden Necklace for her with your own hard work. My view of you had changed. But, I never thought Sandra did something like that to you. I'm very sorry.\"

\"It's alright. With my ability, on Earth, it's already good enough to dream like that. I don't have any purpose on Earth. Now, in this world, I want to try to restart my life once again.\" He said with a little determination in his eyes. He was a guy that bore inferiority complex to the bone. Having a little determination alone was already good progress.

\"Umm... It's good then. If you need my help, just ask me. I will try to repay you for what my childhood friend did.\"

\"It's not your fault, and you don't need to repay me anything. Besides, if what I predicted is correct, then you won't have that chance\", said Alex with a low voice.

\"umm... what do you mean? Do you have any plans?\" Maria looked at him, confused.

\"Never mind... All in all, it's not your fault. Since it's already late, you better go back to your room and rest.\"

\"Okay, then... Goodnight, Alex...ander.\"

\"Yeah, good night.\" After sending Maria off, Alex sat on his bed.

\"Sigh... If what I predicted is correct, then they are going to send me out of this castle soon.\"

…

The next day,

'Knock, Knock'

\"Yes, who is it?\"

\"The king has requested your presence in the hall.\" Said the soldier

\"Lead the way.\" He opened his door and said.

He followed the guard to the hall. In the hall, he saw the King, ministers, and the other four, he was surprised with this line-up, was what he predicted finally came? Since no one said anything after a while in this heavy atmosphere, he finally asked first.

\"Am I the last one to arrive?\"

\"Impudent!\" said the ministers.

\"It's okay, it's okay.\" King tried to calm down the ministers.

\"Mr. Alexander, after a thorough discussion, we decided to banish you from the castle.\" With a guilty tone, he declared.

Alex was still in silence while looking at the King, then he turned to John and Sandra, who had a sinister smile on their faces, and Maria could only look down because of shame. He shook his head and sighed. He already predicted this, but he never thought that it would come this soon.

The King was surprised by his reaction, and he was curious, \"Are you not angry?\"

\"Not really. I already predicted this would happen soon, but I am surprised this day arrived so soon.\"

\"I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander, I need to banish you.\" with a bitter smile on his face, he said.

\"You don't need to apologize, Your Majesty, it may be rude, but may I request you something?\"

\"Impudent!\" and again with the ministers.

Ignoring the ministers, he asked, \"What is it, Mr. Alexander? I will do my best to fulfill it as long as it is within my reach.\"

\"Can you spare me some money? So I can live for a few days?\"

\"Guards.\" Surprised with his request, he immediately ordered guards to prepare it. After he got the money, the guards led him toward the outside. As he walked away, he could still see Maria's guilty expression.

…

One hour earlier, In the early morning, when the King was holding a meeting with his ministers.

\"Your Majesty, the Hero and the others want to see you.\" The guard sent a message to a minister in which he passed it to the king.

\"Umu, invite them in.\"

With his order, The guard finally let them in.

\"Heroes…how is your sleep?\"

\"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We slept well last night.\" John said.

\"Umu, I'm glad that you like it. Is there any problem for you to come here this early?\"

\"We indeed have one problem that we need to trouble you, Your Majesty.\"

\"Oh, please do tell. I will help you if it is within my capability.\"

\"Please banish Alexander from this place.\" John finally said his request while Sandra was smiling evilly.

\"What?\" Maria was taken aback, and even Ayaka was surprised by it. Earlier, John came to them because there was a matter that he wanted to ask the king. They decided to accompany him since it would be better if they were together. They never expected something like this.

Maria just apologized to Alex yesterday. She suddenly remembered what Alex meant by \"If what I predicted is correct, then you won't have that chance.\"

'Did he know it because John's and Sandra's personality?' Maria asked herself. She looked at Sandra, who seemed to be involved in this.

\"Why? Sandra, I think we don't need to do something like that to him.\" Maria asked her.

\"Maria, He is useless, even if we bring him with us, he will only be a burden to us. And you also told me to distance myself from him.\" Sandra said.

\"It was in the past. Now…\" Maria wanted to explain, but Sandra ignored that. \"I'm doing it now.\"

\"What is this all about, Hero?\" The king couldn't help but ask in confusion.

\"Actually, this Alex chased my girlfriend, Sandra. Judging from his personality, I'm afraid that he would do something crazy to her because of this sudden summoning thing. So I requested this to protect my girlfriend, Your Majesty.\" said John while thinking, 'One man is enough in here.'

The King was in thought. Judging from the way Alexander talked yesterday, he could not picture Alexander doing that. But suddenly, the minister beside him whispered something to him.

\"Your Majesty. I think you should agree to his request. After all, he is useless to us and doesn't have potential. Rather than cultivating him, it's better to agree with the hero's request and make him happy so he can put more energy later for us. Remember Your Majesty. A good ambition will always need a sacrifice.\"

The minister's words made sense. Alex was weaker than a kid, and he was literally dragged to this world. In this world, you need strength to protect yourself. No, at least you needed a potential so others might place their eyes on you and nurtured you. 

But Alex was even more useless than a kid that could make one think it was better to sacrifice him. They wouldn't take any loss by sacrificing a worthless person like him after all, so it might be a better move to make the hero happy.

\"Alright. I agree with it.\" The king agreed after great difficulty.

\"Sandra!\" Maria looked at her, asking her to stop this. But she only shrugged her shoulders. \"It's alright, Maria. This is for a better good.\"

She looked at the King, \"Your Majesty, I don't think we need to banish him from here.\"

The king was also put in a difficult situation. The request came from the hero, but the Arch Priest was against it.

Noticing that, Sandra immediately grabbed Maria. \"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. She is too good hearted. You don't need to think about her opinion seriously.\"

The king looked at them while frowning. After a few seconds, he said, \"I'm sorry. But the decision is final.\"

\"But…\" Sandra held her before she could say anything.

\"Guard, bring Alexander here.\"

After watching the reaction, Maria lost all of her hope. She recalled the matter last night. It was indeed, as Alexander predicted. She bit her lips guiltily.

…

On the other hand,

Alexander was walking around the city. He decided to stay in the inn first with the money the king gave him.

He laid on the bed while looking at the ceiling. He said to himself, \"What should I do now…\"

\"I don't have anyone to rely on in this world, nor I have a good talent… My first goal is to survive in this world… But how can I do that…\" Alex murmured while thinking about what he should do next.

And when he was in deep thought, a sudden notification appeared in front of his eyes.
