"Alfonso, its better if you don't go to that place" Said Protheus.
"It's too late to back out now, we are already this far, what's more, if I suddenly decide to go back, those guys would ask questions, questions that I can't answer" Said Alfonso.
"Even if it ans that, you should go back" Insisted Protheus.
"Even if we don't consider all of the above, I must go to this reunion, the state of Wasteland Valley is in a limbo now, we are good, for now, but, that might not be that in the future, the comrcial routes with Arcadia, Peringrer and Tulip are settle, however, our flow of money is suffocating due to the distance between our valley and the rest, we need more routes of comrce and more n power, this eting will be a good place to establish connections and secure more routes of comrce with the other lords, I can't miss this chance!" Said Alfonso.
Protheus looked at Alfonso and only nodded.
"Well, I warned you" Said Protheus.
"Yeah, thanks" Replied Alfonso.
"Are you going to train?" Asked Protheus.
"Yes, I don't have ti to lose" Said Alfonso.
"It's a sha that your understanding in soul power is so low, at the level of a normal mortal, if you were a bit better, consider the ti that you have been here, you should already master the concept of stagnation" Said Protheus.
"I am a simple mortal, where I ca from, the concepts of soul power are zero, is a sha that hard work can't replace talent, but, giving enough ti, it can reach barely reach it" Said Alfonso.
"Are you still using the fire that I gave you?" Asked Protheus.
"Of course, It gives a lot of inspiration, truly a miracle object" Said Alfonso.
"Okay, If I have talked enough, I will see you again in a couple of years" Said Protheus.
"See you" Said Alfonso.
For ordinary people, a couple of years was a lot of ti, but for Protheus a couple of years was only a couple of minutes for normal people. Even Alfonso felt that his perception of ti has sohow altered.
"Let's begin" Said Alfonso.
He took out the lamp of Protheus and sat in the sand, closing his eyes.
..........................................…
The next day, the three kids were dispatched towards Wasteland Valley by a carriage especially arranged by Enrique, Alfonso give the kids a card that they should give towards the guards when they arrive.
"Okay guys, today we will have to attend the great party, so, I need you all to go and fetch your dresses. The girls will go to the manor where you will receive your dresses, and the guys will go to the Taylor's to buy so formal clothes" Said Alfonso.
"Why your clothes are in the Taylor while ours are in the manor?" Asked Deter.
"I asked Felio to prepare so clothes for all of us, but the n's clothes weren't ready when the carriage ca to pick out the clothes, so, he sent all the clothes and sent the ones that wasn't ready to the tailor, that's why" Said Alfonso.
"I see" Said Deter.
"Anyway, we will pick you guys later at the manor" Said Alfonso.
"Okay" Said Deter.
Like that Deter and the girls went to the manor while Alfonso, Dionisius, Hans and Artemis when to the tailor to received their outfits.
Why… what?
"Artemis, what are you doing here?" Murmured Alfonso.
"You and the others see as a woman, but, to normal people, I am a man" Said Artemis.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that" Said Alfonso.
"Artemis, are you sure you want to go out with us?" Asked Dionisius.
"Why not?" Asked Dionisius.
"Nothing, just saying" Said Dionisius.
The four went to the tailor and arranged their outfits, for Alfonso was a special, a white colonial outfit with golden buttons, as for the rest, they wore blue outfits.
"I think this might be a little bit too large" Said Dionisius.
"It's because it's an adult outfit" Said Hans.
"Are you calling a kid!?"
"No, no, how would I sir!" Said Hans.
While the two were ssing around, Alfonso was looking at himself and couldn't help but ask
"Isn't there sothing more comfortable to walk?"
The tailor, who was a sixty sothing year old woman looked at Alfonso with a strange face.
"My lord, this outfit was supposed to be used by the weeding of lord Enrique in a couple of months, however, he decided to give it to you in sign of good faith, I felt that It would a little bit rude to ask for another one" Said the woman.
"Oh? Enrique is going to get married?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yeah, with his half-sister, her highness Yurisa" Said the woman.
"I see" Said Alfonso.
"Anyway, you are right, it will be rude from my part to reject the good faith of Enrique" Said Alfonso.
"However, it's hard to walk with this" He wanted to add, however, he restrained himself.
..........................................…
Alfonso and company spent a couple of hours in the tailor until finally it was six p.m.
"My lord the carriage is waiting for you" Said the old woman.
"Okay guys, listen up" Said Alfonso.
"Today, I want your best behavior, not only you are representing but all Wasteland Valley. My job today is to impress so aristocrats so we can have more connections, your job today is easy compared to that, DO.NOT.SCREW.IT.UP" Said Alfonso.
"That's rude, uncle!"
"Yeah! My lord Alfonso, we are gentleman anywhere we go!"
"…"
Dionisius, Hans and Artemis looked at Alfonso with wronged eyes, however, Alfonso looked more worried because of it.
"Artemis, don't attack whoever soone call you manly"
"Hmph!" Said Artemis.
"Hans! You are a pig when it cos to eating, so, stay away from the food!"
"Wha-… okay, okay, I got it"
"And you, Dionisius"
"What about uncle?" Said Dionisius with cute eyes.
"Just don't be yourself, okay?" Said Alfonso helplessly.
