Guessing by how their behavior, the four of them were probably a family. Looking at each of them, Alex guessed how they were related.The woman, who had the leg injury, was likely the mother and the one she was holding was probably the daughter. In front of them, with the swords, were probably the father and son. Considering the number of people they faced, and still being willing to stand up to them gave Alex a good impression of them.
With how they were looking at him, they probably never seen someone with his level of "healing" magic before. Calling what he did as "healing" would be an understatement, considering he just thought about her being made whole and made into her optimal health. Then he just removed the extra stuff that didn"t belong (e.g., dirt, grime, and blood).
If he ever wanted to make a living, he could always open a dry-cleaning business. The idea of pretty amusing, so he ended up chuckling. Looking at the family, he noticed that they were looking at him with wariness. "Who wouldn"t be concerned about a guy laughing out of nowhere?" Alex thought to himself wryly.
"Where are my manners?" He grinned at them. With a flourished bow, he said, "I am Alex, and these are my companions," Introducing each one to the family.
"I apologize, about earlier, I tend to have a flair for the dramatics which is one of my many faults. Your wife was never in any danger of blood loss." Alex said, rea.s.suringly but casual manner. It look at the fate of everyone was in his hand. That is how it looked to the family in front of Alex.
Thinking to himself, he needed to take this stuff more seriously even if he has this overpowered (OP) ability. The problem was all those mangas and animes he used to read/watch, where the main character makes a dramatic entrance. It is not like those thing were real. That show that this people has real emotion unlike something out of fiction.
"Who wouldn"t want to look dashing and cool in front of strangers? Though I also feel like those demons making contracts with humans told in stories on Earth." Alex thought as he remembered how the father had offered a standard open-ended payment plea out of desperation.
"My Lord, thank you, for saving my wife and family from those soldiers. If there"s anything I could do for you, please do not hesitate and ask." Pointing to himself, he said, "I am Tomas. This is my wife, Molly; my son, Miguel; and my daughter, Elizabeth."
His son bowed to Alex, while the wife and daughter awkwardly curtsied to him. Though they recognized that he had protected them, the manner in which Alex acted looked to still make them cautious.
"Don"t think much about it. How could I allow those soldiers to target such a lovely looking family?" Alex waved the thanks away. "By chance, would you happen to know who those soldiers belong to?" He asked thinking it would be a good idea to learn about regional politics.
"They belong to the Roan Empire, my Lord," Tomas informed him. He seemed to calm down a bit, after seeing that Han was a decent person.
"The Roan Empire? I have never heard of them" Alex asked.

"They"re a vast empire, to the north of our kingdom, my Lord" Tomas explained to him, looking slightly confused. "Lately, they"ve been tormenting the nearby kingdoms, grabbing a large number of civilians and taking them back to who knows where. There"re rumors that the Empire is capturing civilians to turn them into slaves for some large-scale project." Tomas explained in more detail, feeling that Han had little knowledge of world affairs due to personal reasons.
"Hmmm..." was Alex"s response to such information, considering the man"s words.
Pulling up a map and learning more about the Empire was an option, but it felt like conversing with a non-playable character (NPC) in a game when interacting with Tomas.
Looking over at the overturned wagon, next to the road, Han mentioned, "Might I ask where you were heading with those crates?" This could lead to something interesting, which was the purpose of this excursion.
"We"re heading to Leaf Village, my Lord. I"m a merchant, so will be taking my wares to the village. I specialize in raw materials, used for clothing, weapon, armor, and food." Tomas said while motioning to the scattered crates, some of them cracked open and revealing animal pelts. "We were traveling with a caravan, but when the Empire soldiers attacked us, we were abandoned." The last part he said in a sad voice.
Hearing the story, he could imagine what was going through the man"s mind. It could be comparable to working with fellow vendors, helping one another out to make sure the whole saw improvement but such camaraderie collapsing with an economic downturn.
"Looking at your wagon, it looks like it was severely damaged after being overturned." He looked at Elena who nodded her head and went to the crates and handled the work of bringing them to the back of the carriage. Sophia helped with securing the crates to be ready for their departure.
"I don"t like the idea of leaving you behind, so how about your family travel with me to the village? I"m sure it would be a lot more comfortable, and calming, especially for your wife and daughter." Alex cheerfully said.
He could have fixed, or made a better wagon, but decided this method would be more interesting. It would be fun traveling with people who lived in the world. Just remembering how Eris looked amazed by everything and these people repeating it made him smile.
Alex and the family began heading to the carriage, Brittania opened up the door for them to enter.
After getting in, Alex looked back at the family and saw them hesitating to proceed. Turning to look at one another, before deciding to follow him. Entering the cabin, he looked around and willed it to become larger with more sofas, to accommodate the family.
Turning to see Brittania who was following behind the family and making her way towards him, he said, "I think it may be time to have something to snack on, maybe a light meal for our guests."
"Yes, Master." She answered. A glowing smile on her face. Pressing up against him, she whispered, "You are such a generous Creator, to consider these insignificant people"s health and well-being." Devotion could be seen in her eyes.
Leaning in towards her, Alex gave her a pa.s.sionate kiss while reaching out to with a hand to squeeze her large b.r.e.a.s.t.s softly while he was smiling.
Gaining such affection, Brittania"s breathing quickened, and her knees slightly gave way, waves of pleasure engulfing her.
When he pulled away, Alex whispered into her ears, "This is your reward for doing such a good job."
Looking breathless, Brittania answered, "Thank you, Master."
Taking a seat, Brittania came to him with a bowl of tea and filled the gla.s.s with more. Taking the gla.s.s sweet tea and drank it, enjoying the refreshingly cool taste.
The door was opened, and Elena, Reina, and Eris came in, followed by Rhea.
Alex smiled at them before looking at the family, who hadn"t stopped looking dazed about how elaborate everything looked. Magnificent would be the closest word to describe how the appearance of the carriage"s interior. It was cute, seeing them approach the couch and hesitate as if worried about dirtying the couch.
