"Nobody cares about this wasteland, so I basically have no enemies, my family don't care if I die here, however, that's not bad, actually, that's good!" Shout Alfonso.
"I don't understand" Said Artemis.
Alfonso turned around and show her back at Artemis.
"If history teach sothing is that power is a fearful thing, everyone wants power, specially, if its right under your nose, since the beginning of ti, the power that have destroyed the majority of civilizations on earth hasn't been the natural disaster or the wars between civilizations, do you know what is the threatens thing in an empire?" asked Alfonso
"…" Artemis just kept quiet.
Then Alfonso turns around again, however this ti, there was another look in his eyes, even Artemis was surprised, because his eyes were a bit…. Sinister.
"It's the internal struggle of power, father killing his sons, sons poisoning their fathers ,etc… and the Lockheart monarchy it's not an exception, maybe, for most people, they think that my dear brothers and sisters live in harmony just waiting for father's decision of who will inherit his throne, however, Artemis, I can tell you this, after my father dies, there will be a massive war between the four princess and princess. At that ti, I just must watch in my comfortable throne, after they take out their own eyes between them, I will make my move" said Alfonso.
Artemis was taken back, this kind of speech….. If she didn't know that the one that stood in front of her was Alfonso, she would totally have thought that she was in front of experience monarch!
"This guy with blond hair and purple eyes that didn't look that could hurt a fly… actually had this kind of plans? I am actually starting to suspect that the cane that he always uses is just a façade to make him look weak" Artemis had to reevaluate the image he has of Alfonso, he was quite the scheming person.
"This is just based on the premise that they will actually fight, maybe they will be resolved the thing in a more diplomatic way?" Asked Artemis.
"Maybe…. , maybe I am thinking too much, however, Artemis, there are lot of factors that could mark the beginning of a battle to dead, just a little spark will be enough, who knows if this spark cos from them…. Or soone else?" Said Alfonso with a cald smile on his face.
"…. Quite the scher, human" Artemis couldn't help but say.
"What are you talking about Artemis? I am just a cripple-fallen prince who wants to survive in this wasteland, what my dear family does have nothing to do with , not anymore" Said Alfonso with an innocent face.
Alfonso was actually doing this on purpose, he had to let Artemis that he wasn't just a weakling, he had ambitions, he had to make Artemis thought that everything was under his control, furthermore, what he was saying wasn't just a façade, he had thought a lot about this, what can he do in order to survive in this world? After analyzing the character of Artemis he could see that the gods were prideful to the core, they wouldn't summit to anyone, if Artemis was like this… how about Ares or Athena….. He even didn't want to think about Zeus. So he made a choice, he needed to change his characters in order to take control of his own destined, step by step, he had to beca in a sovereign that could command even the gods!
"I won't really care if my brothers or sisters destroy each other, however, if they actually decided to have so thoughts about my city, that changes things" Thought Alfonso.
"So now that we have talk things out, we need to take care of so things, Artemis, this wasteland is about to face a disaster, I need your help," Said Alfonso while looking
"I am listening" Said Artemis.
"At so point of this month, there will be a lot of beasts attacking this valley, as we are now, we won't even know how we died, Artemis, you are a hunter, the best one in all the world, help pass this trial and I will grant your wish" said Alfonso
"Hoh? What if I say no?" Asked Artemis.
"Then we shall die here together, actually, dying with a beauty isn't that bad" Say Alfonso with a smile on his face.
"It will too much of an honor to you, human!." Said Artemis, while walking right in front of Alfonso with her cold eyes.
After so minutes, Artemis made a smile.
"Maybe I am just imaging thing, however, I kind of like that look in your eyes it doesn't show fear instead, it shows ambition, I wouldn't expect less from my slave. Very well then, Alfonso! This goddess shall, for now on, help you in your conquest of this foreign land! , do not disappoint " Said Artemis with a resolute voice.
"It's my pleasure. Let's go back, its freezing here, we have a long day tomorrow"
Just like this, Artemis and Alfonso went back to the manor.
