It was warr than usual today, Alfonso got up at nine, later than usual. When went to the hall, Artemis was already gone, however, Deter was there.
"My~ My~ , Little Al, good morning~"
"Good morning Deter, did you already had breakfast?" Asked Alfonso.
"No~ , I was going to have it with Artemis, but I thought you will be lonely, so I waited~" Said Deter with her usual candid smile.
"Well, thank you lets dig in, today we have a big day" Said Alfonso.
Today, he was going to announce the new system of food, he already talked to Deferio and asked him to congregate all the people in Wasteland Valley
"Yeah~, I won't go to Cal's house anymore, I already tough enough~, I told him to teach the techniques to the other families, I am already tired after all~" Say Deter
After that, they both had breakfast. Alfonso asked Ribi to check on Deferio and tell him that everything needs to be done by the afternoon, As he returned to his room, little blue also woke up, yesterday, he slept at Alfonso's side, this was a little dangerous, it was a good thing that Alfonso don't move when he sleeps, since a little child, a funny fact, was that both Alfonsos didn't have this habit. Little blue chirped happily and sat on Alfonso's head.
Alfonso went out with Deter helped him and went to the town, Alfonso felt a little helpless, he didn't want anyone to help him, however, he had to admit that his leg didn't hurt when soone helped him.
"Little Al, it's not a shaful thing to ask for help~ , I and Artemis will always let you a hand, you are not alone" Said Deter.
"Yeah… I know" Alfonso felt a slight warm on his heart.
After walking for 30 minutes they got to the main plaza, it was the second ti that Alfonso ca here, the first one was when he did his speech before the horde ca in, this ti however, it was a lot different from before.
"Look in his majesty! , the hero"
"He is just as brave as the stories tell"
"So people say that he only uses that cane to put a facade"
"He is so young and so handso!"
"Your majesty, we love you!"
The fight with the horde already beca a legend in Wasteland Valley, people call this battle "the cane's wrath" as a tribute to Alfonso. Alfonso was stunned, however, he knew that this was a good thing , people needed a figure to admire, he didn't want to be that one thought, however, he didn't have any options, at least, not at the mont. He climbed the platform and then smiled to everyone.
"Hello , my fellow citizens, I, Alfonso Lockheart, greets you!" Said Alfonso.
A round of claps ca from the audience.
"PEOPLE OF WASTELAND VALLEY, AS YOU MAY KNOW, I HAVE SENT THE SOLDIERS TO ASK YOU SO QUESTIONS, I WILL TELL YOU THE REASON NOW! , FIRST, I WANTED TO KNOW MY PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LEAVE THE SHIP THAT SINKS AND STAY!" Shouted Alfonso.
A round of louder claps than before ca from the audience.
"BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, I HAVE BIG NEWS FOR YOU, SO OF YOU MAY KNOW HIM ALREADY, HE IS NOT HERE WITH , BUT HE IS THE REASON THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE! MY FRIEND, ARTEMIS, IS CURRENTLY HUNTING ON THE FOREST, THE PAST FEW DAYS, I HAVE SENT HIM TO THE JUBILA FOREST SO HE CAN BRING ENOUGH FOOD FOR EVERYONE IN WASTELAND VALLEY!" Said Alfonso.
At this mont, everyone didn't believe what they just heard… they could have food!?
"Am I… am I dreaming?"
"Is this for real!?"
"Your majesty, I love you!"
"I think is true, I have sent that Artemis fellow hunting for the past days at the west side!"
"Yeah! too"
So commoners were exchanging ideas, anwhile, Alfonso stood there, just looking at their reactions.
"Is a little sad that they get so emotional just for food" Thought Alfonso.
It was not that rare thought, food was the most important thing in a place like Wasteland Valley ,however, Alfonso was born in a normal family on earth, he wasn't rich, but he never lacked food. Since he ca to this place, he had the least food than usual, but it wasn't nearly enough to compare to common people, who could go two days without eating.
"AS EVERYONE HEARD, YES, I WILL GIVE EACH FAMILY A DEER, THIS DEER SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO EAT FOR FOUR DAYS TWO ALS A DAY, AFTER THOSE FOUR DAYS, YOU WILL CO TO THE MANOR WITH YOUR IDENTITY THAT DEFERIO HAVE GIVEN YOU AFTER THE CENSUS, THAT IDENTITY IS VERY IMPORTANT SO YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH IT. THE TOWN WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH FOOD, SO YOU WILL NEED TO EXCHANGE IT WITH WORK, All THE FAMILIES WILL, FOR NOW, WORK AS FARRS, EACH FAMILY NEED TO SEND AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE TO WORK ON THE AGRICULTURE ZONE; ANOTHER THING, IN ONE MONTH, I WILL BE GIVING EDUCATION TO THE YOUNGER ONES, EACH FAMILY MUST SEND THEIR CHILD TO THE MANOR FOR 2 HOURS A DAY TO HAVE BASIC EDUCATION, EACH KID WILL BE FREE EDUCATED UNTIL THE AGE OF 13 , AFTER THAT THEY WILL DECIDE IF THEY COUNTINUE THEIR STUDIES OR UNITED THE SOLDIERS IN BATTLE, I WILL SPECIFY BOTH PATHS IN THE FUTURE, YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ORDER, THE FAMILIES WHO DISOBEY THIS ORDER WILL BE REMOVED OF THEIR RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN AND WILL HAVE TO PAY A FEE AND WORK FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE RECOVER IT, ONE MORE THING, NO FAMILY WILL SELL THEIR SHARE OF FOOD TO NO ONE, IF THE WOLVES OR THE SOLDIERS CATCH YOU, YOU WILL ALSO LOSE YOUR RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN AND….. IF YOU DARE TO TRY TO ROB ANYONE, THE WOLVES OR SOLDIERS WILL HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO CUT BOTH OF YOUR HANDS!!" Shout Alfonso.
Although it was not a lot, stealing was a problem in Wasteland Valley, so he needed to be severe in how he managed this, furthermore, he personally despises thieves.
"THAT'S ALL, PLEASE FOLLOW DEFERIO TO MY MANOR TO START THE DISTRIBUTION, EACH FAMILY SHALL ONLY SEND TO PEOPLE AT THE MOST" Said Alfonso while descending the platform, Deter helped him.
After that, each family send two representatives to retrieve the deer, Alfonso was exhausted, so he had to rest for a while before, going back to the manor, he sat on his throne and waited for so ti, while people were going to the "refrigerator", Ribi entered the hall and bowed.
"Your majesty, a little boy and his father are calling for you"
"Let them in" Said Alfonso.
The pair of son and father ca and bowed, they were little pit and his father tailor.
"You ca, that's great, don't worry, your deer is separated, so we will begin the class now, is that okay?" Asked Alfonso.
"We have to thank your majesty for your considerations" Said Tailor.
"Uncle is the best!" Said little pit.
Alfonso smiled and began his class.
