"This the situation, my lord" Said a man in a dark cloth.

In front of him, the back of a man could be seeing.

"Are you telling me that you can't even kill an old woman that is at the death's door and his stupid son? If that is the case, why are you still alive?" Said the man.

"My lord this-"

"I don't want to hear excuses, tell me one reason why I should let you live?" Said the man.

The voice of this man was so calm that, if you didn't analyze the meaning behind his words, one could say that this was probably a monk.

"My-my lord, I know who was behind this, the one who protected Mirana, I can bring him to you, my lord!" Said the man.

"Bring him to me?"

"Ye-yes, I can, I definetly can, that's why-"

*SWOOCH*

Before the man could finish talking, the man's head was sent flying, as the man, he didn't even flinch.

The decapitated body of the man fell to the ground and the young man didn't even turn.

"I don't accept fails" Murmured the man.

He turned around and walked towards the entrance.

"Besides, I already know who ruined my plans" Murmured the man.

The man walked in a slow pace towards a room and then towards the balcony.

A small spider was waiting for him on the balcony.

"Tell his majesty that I have good and bad news, the bad news is that the plan of invading the west must be postponed, however" The man smiled.

"The plan to invade the north has fastened thanks to his cute little brother" Said the man.

The spider suddenly banished in the air.

"Alfonso Lockheart, thanks to you, I couldn't get Mirana's powers, you will have to give me something in return" Said the man.

"Your life isn't worth that much, however, it will have to do for now" Smiled the man.

............….

"Why, why are you doing this!? Why have a deal! Is not my fault that garbage couldn't kill my stupid son and woman!" Shouted a man without an arm.

"The lord orders, just business nothing personal" Said the woman with a dagger on her hand.

"Wait a mom- Arrrg!"

The woman didn't even hesitate, she put her dagger on the man's neck and pierced with force.

The man's body fell to the ground without making much noise.

The woman didn't stop there, she took out a bottle and put the transparent liquid on the corpse. After that, she made a motion with her hand and ignited the body.

She disappeared from the place and reappeared in a faraway alley.

In there a man was waiting for her.

"Are you done?"

"…" The woman didn't answer her.

"I am talking to you"

"The only person I have to answer to is my lord, you, a mere slave on prince Raul has no right to talk to me" Said the woman.

"What did you say!?" The man was furious.

"Remember who are you speaking to, even if our lords have a deal between them, I can kill you at any time, don't provoke me" Said the woman.

"Hmph, the dogs of princess Diana are always like this, too much barking" Said the man.

The woman furrowed her eyes disappeared from her original position. The man moved his face to the left and a dagger passed by his cheek, leaving a small scar.

"If you talk like that of princess Diana, I will make you wish you were death" Said the woman.

"I have suffered hell too much times to count, try whatever you want, even if you cut my cock, I will be only smiling" Said the man with a small chuckle.

The woman looked at him with hatred, however, she retired her dagger and turned around.

"Let's go, we have to wait for the next order" Said the woman.

"That won't be necessary, the orders are already here" Said the man while looking at his right side.

A small spider was hanging on the wall.

............…

While everything behind the scenes was going through, Alfonso and company were returning to Wasteland Valley, however, now, there were two more people with them.

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

"Son, you have asked me the same question hundreds of times already, I already tol you that I am okay"

Mirana and Dimitri were having a mother-son time in the back of the wager.

"They are quite cute, aren't they?" Said Alfonso while looking at both.

"Yeah, sure they are" Said Demeter who was at his right side.

"We will get to Tulip in about two days, so let's relax for some time, this trip was more exhausting than what I originally though" Said Alfonso.

Demeter looked at Alfonso with a strange look, however, she didn't say anything.

"Now that's strange, the Demeter I know always says whatever she is thinking, what are suddenly so quiet?" Said Alfonso with a smile.

"I- I wanted to apologies" Said Demeter.

"For what?"

"You know… for saying all of that… the other day"

"That's the reason why the other ones are in the back looking at me with a strange face since we left Peringrer?" Said Alfonso.

"Mor-more or less" Said Demeter.

"Let me ask you this, what you said the other day… was that a lie?" Asked Alfonso.

"No, it wasn't…" Said Demeter.

"Then, why are you apologizing?" Asked Alfonso.

"I…" Demeter didn't know what to say.

"What about you three over there, does someone consider that they lie?" Said Alfonso.

"…" Artemis, Aphrodite and Dionysius didn't say anything.

"Come on, there is nothing to feel sorry about, you didn't do it with malice right? Although, I must say that I feel a little bit uncomfortable with a blade on my neck" Said Alfonso.

"That wasn't our intention" Said Artemis from the back.

""Yeah!"" Said Aphrodite and Dionysius.

"Haha, don't sweat guys, you have your own believes and duties, I respect them, isn't that what I always told you, trying to make you go against you believes, isn't something that I would do" Said Alfonso.

Demeter smiled and grabbed Alfonso's arm.

"If it comes to the worst, I will kill you, then save my daughter and I will accompany you in the other life" Said Demeter.

"…" Artemis didn't say anything; however, her face was resolute.

The other two didn't say anything.

The heavy atmosphere smoothed and everyone began to chat like they always do.

However, Alfonso guarded something for him.

"I will not let Chrono take possession of me, for that, I will have to find my own will, not matter the cause, I will not lose to Chrono!" Though Alfonso.

He grabbed his eyepatch.

"However, I also have my own believes, I swore that day that I will survive, not matter the cost, it worst comes to worst…"

Alfonso's eye shinned a little…

And his usual normal face made a dangerous smile…

"We will kill them, with our own powers"

"THAT'S OUR RESOLUTION"

Alfonso didn't notice, that the will of Chrono had already invade his mind.
