Felio had a very miserable face at the moment.

"How did it reach their ears so fast?"

"This is really problematic, ahh TItio, Titio, you knew that this will happen, yet, you decided to bring your champion to fight, now I have to paid for your mistake" Thought Felio.

While Felio lamenting, three people plus a dog entered the hall.

"Oh Alfonso! You are up!" Said Felio with joy.

"Yeah, I woke up a couple of hours ago" Said Alfonso.

Today he was wearing a special clothes that Felio had prepared in case he woke up, it was a black-elegant shirt with a pair of white pants, one must say that it looked pretty elegant, Demeter and Artemis had already told Felio about Alfonso's eye, so he prepared an eyepatch for him, curiously, it had the flag of a wolf imprinted in the center. Of course, he still used the cane of Chronos to support himself.

This appearance makes him look a bit older, but a little more savage.

"How is your condition?" Asked Felio.

"I need some time to recover, my injuries are light compared to Artemis, nevertheless, they are still there" Said Alfonso.

"I see" Said Felio.

There was a small silence between the tow of them, however at the end, Felio made a small sigh, he called Leonardo to come in, after some minutes, the one-arm man Leonardo entered with a document on his hand.

"It seems that you lose a good soldier this time" Said Alfonso.

"But I maintain a friend, that's all that matters" Said Felio.

Leonardo felt touched by the words of Felio, he smiled and bowed before standing behind Felio.

"I am not longer a soldier, your highness Alonso. I already retired, right now, I served as the right hand of his majesty Felio" Said Leonardo while bowing towards Alfonso.

"It seems that his fierce character changed a lot after this experience, that's good" Said Alfonso who made a small nod.

"Alfonso, this time was my fault, although I predicted that Alberto would come, I didn't expect him to actually attack, I thought that he will just come to put some pressure on us and protect Titio in case that anything happens, however, not only did Alberto attacked but Titio also brought with him someone of the Pentagate family. I cant do anything more than apologize to you, I am deeply sorry" Said Felipe.

He stood up and bowed deeply towards Alfonso.

"It's enough, go back to your sit, if the lord of Tulip suddenly bowed to someone, then that will make a lot of people question about your character" Said Alfonso with a teasing smile.

Felio nodded embarrassedly and went back to his sit.

"Demeter already told me the details about the events after the war came to an end, let me check the document" Said Alfonso.

Leonardo passed the documents to Alfonso.

Sure enough, the conditions that Demeter had told him were there, what's more, there was also a clausula that says that Felio will retire from his position after her daughter came back safety and the throne will be free for Alfonso to put in whoever he wants.

"This clausula… I didn't hear of it" Said Alfonso.

"I am sorry, consider this doing an old man a favor, I am tired of being a king, this last war make me realize that, in the end, I only want to be with my daughter, became a grandpa someday and life a relax and happy life, away from the struggles of power" Said Felio.

"This is the second time you asked a favor for me, you remember what happen last time, I lost an eye" Said Alfonso.

"This…"

Alfonso made a small chuckle and waved his hand.

"I am joking, this last wish of you, I accept it, its time that you hang the gloves, old man" Said Alfonso.

Felio made a small yet happy smile.

"I also wish to retire, this old man wants to live a happy life, what's the point to have a big castle and a lot power, at the end, what you take to the grave it's the memories of your beloved ones, not money or a power position" Though Alfonso.

"Anyway, I had a piece of good news for you, Felio" Said Alfonso.

"What is it?"

"We know where your daughter is" Said Alfonso.

........................

"I-I see" Said Felio.

After hearing that her daughter was safe, he could finally breathe a sight of relieve.

"Felio, It's not like I don't want to save your daughter but you must understand that I am in a delicate spot this time, if I accept this trial, then I will be offending the Pentagates, you know very well what kind of family are they, even the Lockheart family wouldn't mess with them if they had the choice to not to, not to mention me, that I am just a simple fallen prince with little power, do you understand what I am saying?" Said Alfonso.

Felio of course knew that Alfonso was right, offending the Pentagates… even if he had one hundred more guts, he still wouldn't do it!

"I understand your position Alfonso, however, this I have two valid reasons to accept this propose" Said Felio.

"Oh? Let me heard them" Said Alfonso.

"The first one is that, even if the Pentagate family wants to take action against you, they wouldn't use they full power, in fact, they wouldn't even send their core champions and that's because we are on the north, this is the Boltors territory and they hate the Pentagates to death, the only reason that Lucio was able to came here was because he had an invitation, I didn't know whose family was so influential to even make a sworn enemy of the boltors to past to their territory, but now I know, it were the Veritias, they surely could make someone like Lucio to past to this territory, however, they could only od it once, because the Boltors already know that this, if they try to pull this once again, then the Veritia family is going to suffer the wrath of the Boltors, sure enough, I don't think that the queen of winds is interested in a war against the Boltors" Said Felio

"Queen of winds?" Asked Alfonso.

"That's the current empress of the Veritia family, although the actual head of the family is a man, in reality, everyone knows that the real headmaster of the Veritias is the queen of winds" Said Felio.

Alfonso nodded and make sure to remember this name.

"Then what is the second reason?" Asked Alfonso.

Felio smiled bitterly and took out the letter that he was reading before.

"Because the Boltors are already sending someone here" Said Felio.
