"You set up" Said Alfonso with anger.
"Well, I am sorry, but we didn't have any choice" Said Pierre with a laugh.
"…" Alfonso only looked at Pierre, waiting for an explanation.
Of course, Alfonso knew that sothing went wrong back in the eting, it didn't take a genius to get that this was planned.
The four lords had planned this at Alfonso's back.
"We couldn't let Claude let the way to Dragon City if his side won… the war was imminent" Said Pierre.
"Nevertheless, you should have asked " Said Alfonso.
"Would you had accepted?"
"Of course, not"
"There you have the reason… anyway, consider this returning the favor for protecting you all this ti" Said Pierre.
"I have to make clear sothing, my agreent of protection is we the Queen of winds herself, in other words, I don't owe anything to the Veritia family… now, however, you own " Said Alfonso.
"You surely can't let one slip, do you?"
"No one can use and get away freely" Said Alfonso.
"Okay, what do you want?" Asked Pierre.
Alfonso thought for so seconds.
"I want… a route of comrce that unified all the allies of the Veritia family in the north with my town" Said Alfonso.
What Wasteland did Valley need now the most?
Flow of money.
How do you get it?
Selling and buying.
However, Wasteland Valley was so far away that never were any safe routes to get there, plus, the trip was a hard one, few rchants and towns would be willing to do comrce with Wasteland Valley.
However, if the Veritia family helped that would be another story.
"You sure are ambitious, this would cost us a lot of money, plus, it will take years to make it happen, I can't promise you this" Said Pierre.
"One year… and I will give Alisson sothing to heal her injury faster" Said Alfonso.
Pierre stopped in place.
Alfonso didn't turn, however, he didn't need to turn around to know what kind of dangerous face was Pierre making right now.
"My lord…" Whispered Clara with a frightened face.
However, Alfonso didn't turn.
"Alfonso Lockheart, how do you know about that?" Asked Pierre.
"The Queen is known to have a wild personality, even if she didn't want to attend the eting, she would have to… giving the current circumstances, however, she didn't appear, of course, sothing must happen that make her unable to attend"
"In all Leitol, there are very few things that can severely injure beings like my father or the queen, it just happens that my treatnt with the Queen had to do with one of those things, that's why, adding two and two, I know that she is injured" Said Alfonso.
"…" Pierre stood in silence for so seconds before the air beco lighter.
"Okay, I will convey your propose to mother, I will answer you tomorrow" Said Pierre.
"Go ahead, I will be waiting" Said Alfonso.
Pierre disappeared while Alfonso stood there with Clara and Selene.
"Odysseus, what do you think?" Said Alfonso.
"It's a tricky situation, I suggest you to not go, try to make any excuse, going to the capital as if its right now could get you killed" Said Odysseus.
Alfonso walked in silence while pondering.
"Fascinating subject! You finally ca!"
"…"
After a while, Alfonso ets with ngele and the young white-haired man. The first day, he practically begged them to stay in their room until he ca back.
Alfonso was glad that they kept their promise.
"Guys, we are going to the capital in a couple of days… in the anti, what do you want to do?" Asked Alfonso.
"Experints!"
"Nothing"
"These two are just two opposite sides" Though Alfonso.
"What about you Clara?"
"I…I want to…" Clara didn't know what to say, after all, she had been in that white room all her life.
"Take your ti" Said Alfonso with a smile.
Clara nodded.
"My lord, might I have a minute?" Said the young white-haired man.
"Sure"
Alfonso made a sign and everyone left the room except Alfonso and the white-haired young man.
"What's up?" Asked Alfonso.
"My lord… I know that telling you to not go to the capital would be in vain, your destiny is to go, however, there is sothing that I do have to tell you" Said the young white-haired man.
Alfonso listened.
"My lord… under any circumstances…." Said the young man seriously.
"You must rember these words"
The eyes of the young man beco white and he seed to talk in a trance.
"Destiny is unavoidable"
"sooner or later, all paths reach the sa end"
"The Lockheart blood shall perish in this generation…"
"History shall repeat itself… and the new sovereign shall bring a new epoch of darkness…"
"Unless… the child of destiny survived her own doom"
The young whited-hair man's eyes beco normal and he lost his balance.
Alfonso was in shock, he looked at the young whited-hair man for so seconds.
"Rember these words… my lord" Said the young man with exhaustion.
"The… gears of destiny will move to one direction or another… and the… only one who decides in which direction…"
"Is you…" Said the young man.
"I… don't understand" Said Alfonso.
"You will… sooner or later"
The young whited-hair man left the room, leaving a perplex Alfonso there.
.............................................….
After a couple of days.
Alfonso and everyone left the Veritia mansion and went on their way to the capital.
[Around the third day since Alfonso left]
A guess ca to the Veritia house.
"My lord" Said a servant to Pierre.
"What is it?"
"There is soone that wants to see you" Said the servant.
"Who?" Asked Pierre.
"It's a clothed woman" Said the servant.
Pierre closed his eyes and, after so seconds, he nodded.
"Let her in"
The servant nodded and went on his way.
After so minutes, a woman in a heavy clothed entered the room.
"I know you… you were at the funeral, although your appearance changed… your soul power doesn't change… tell … why are you here?" Asked Pierre.
The woman took out her cloth.
"I ca for Alfonso, where is he?"
