Phoenix, probably was of the was known creatures in any mythologic, known for the absurd power of being able to resurrect from the dead, making them immortal creatures. Alfonso grabbed little Blue with his hand and looked at her.
"What is it, master?" Asked little Blue.
"Little Blue, bad, is not good to lie like that"
"Master! How can you think that I, your little Blue, will lie to you!? I am a phoenix!" Said Little Blue with indignation.
"As far as I know, phoenixes are red, 'little Blue'" Said Alfonso.
"I was about to talk to you about that, master, it seems that my blood is still too impure to be a pure-blooded Phoenix, that's why, although I am a phoenix, my plumage is blue" Said little Blue.
"… Well, when the system finishes its upgrade, I will see what the hell is going on here" Though Alfonso.
For the mont, Alfonso put the matter of little Blue behind, since he had other things to worry about.
"Mr. Lockheart, unfortunately, my lord it's busy at the mont, so he won't be able to greet you" Said the Butler.
"It's alright if he doesn't want to see , just say so, I don't mind" Said Alfonso.
"Are you putting my word in doubt? Mr.Lockheart?"
"No, it just that I sense soone indulging himself in food in the next room, I assu that the only person who sits in that throne it's the lord, right?" Asked Alfonso.
"How…" Though the butler.
Alfonso lifted his head to the butler.
"I am blind, so my other senses are better than average, I could hear his tummy crumbling from the entrance" Laughed Alfonso.
The butler didn't say anything and showed Alfonso and the rest of their rooms.
Alfonso was helped by Jessica, who changed places with Clara.
"It seems that no matter where you go, people or rather look down on you or hate you" Said Jessica.
"I already got used to it" Said Alfonso.
"You shouldn't, it makes you look weak" Said Jessica.
"Well… It can't be helped; I am a blind man that must walk with a cane and with help" Said Alfonso.
"MASTER! You can't like that! For , your little Blue, you look super cool!" Comnted little Blue.
"Anyway, I still have to prepare for the eting, Jessica, can you please take out my papers and read them to ?" Asked Alfonso.
For Alfonso, reading was one of the few things that he couldn't perceive with his soul power, he could 'see' the form of the paper of course, but the letters were another thing.
"The events that follow are exclusive for the representants, please burn these letters after reading them" Read Jessica.
"Two months ago, a carriage with a four-leaf clover was found in a corner of Fieldfort Town, in the south, after examination, there were clear marks of fight and blood on the carriage, a few ters away from the site, the corpses of the guards of the Terkin family were found dead along with the corpse of a thirteen year-old-boy whose identity was further recognized as the youngest master of the Terkin family; On the body, a clear cut of could be seeing, on the floor, a sword was also found, this sword was no other than a replica of one of the lost seven swords whose owner was no other than the lord of the Pentagate family, the body was retrieved by the lord of the east, Caron Terkin, a couple of days later " Finished Jessica.
There were also further details in the followed letters, however, they weren't that relevant.
"I am not a detective or anything, but this is suspicious, to say the least" Said Alfonso.
"Is obvious that soone is trying to bla the Pentagate family" Said Jessica.
"If we can deduce that, then Cara can as well, as far as I know, he is a rchant in all the sense of the word" Said Alfonso.
"However, why does he kept on blaming the Pentagate family then?" Added Alfonso.
"Maybe he is being driven by his feelings?" Asked Jessica.
"And declare war against the Pentagate family putting his family and all Leitol in danger, no, he isn't that stupid, there must sothing else" Said Alfonso.
"Maybe is the sword?" Asked Jessica.
"I was also thinking about that, that sword can't be replicated, you can only replicate that kind of sword by using part of the original, that's why, the only who had the only replica in this world is the lord of the Pentagate family" Said Alfonso.
"However, sothing seems wrong here" Murmured Alfonso.
"In the first place, who will be so courage to defa the Pentagate family" Said Jessica.
"That's the tricky question, people who want the Pentagate family to disappear? A lot; Houses, who have the aning to do it? Only three; Those who will dare to do it? None" Said Alfonso.
"This is hard" Said Jessica.
"As hard as it can be, a war between two kings will be the beginning of a catastrophic war that will be put in a precarious state" Said Alfonso.
Jessica stood in silence for so ti while Alfonso read so docunts.
Finally, Jessica sighed and throw herself on the bed.
"I don't get why soone would want war, what is the bright side on it? Parents lost their sons and sons lost their parents" Murmured Jessica.
Alfonso sighed and nodded without saying much.
"It's human nature… where there is society, there is conflict" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso put away the letters and lied down on his bed next to Jessica.
"People like to think that war is the only way for aning, however, in reality, war is just ONE way" Said Alfonso.
"What about you? Will you go to war?" Asked Jessica.
"I don't gain anything if I go to war" Said Alfonso.
"What if people treat your town or your beloved ones?" Asked Jessica.
Alfonso didn't answer. However, his silence was itself an answer.
"Wait a minute" Alfonso stood up.
"What is it?" Asked Jessica.
"Before, you asked why would so want war…"
"Yeah…"
Alfonso's heart beat faster while he felt his blood go cold.
"There is soone who will want a war to explode"
"Who?" Asked Jessica.
"But… but that's impossible! There is no way that they could…" Murmured Alfonso.
"What is it?" Asked with worry Jessica.
"…" Alfonso didn't answer.
However, he suddenly felt a child in all his body
