"You don't look well Alfonso, you didn't sleep well yesterday?" Asked Demeter with a playful smile.
Alfonso only looked at her and didn't say anything.
As Demeter said, Alfonso didn't sleep well yesterday, as for why, well he was waiting in his room for something to happen, he didn't know what but he keep waking up from time to time because he remember the words of Demeter.
As to what did Demeter did?
She didn't do anything, in fact, she didn't go to Alfonso's room at all.
"Okay, you won this one" Said Alfonso who had some bags on his eyes.
"I don't know what you are talking about, if you stayed awake yesterday maybe it was because you had something in your mind that didn't let you sleep, are you feeling guilty or something?" Said Demeter with the same smile.
Alfonso didn't say anything and took his breakfast.

"Let's see, we need to do some changes on the infrastructure of Wasteland Valley, I think that the way we have distributed our land isn't optimal, we need to put all the commerce in one side the houses in another and the manor must be at the center, the agriculture zone is fine because is way separate from the rest of the houses, however, not all the families that help there live in the agriculture zone, some of them live in the resident zone, making their way to tiring and that reflex in their work" Said Alfonso after looking at the documents that Ribeiro give him.
"Demeter, how is everything at the Agriculture zone?" Asked Alfonso.
"The land is now completely fertile, however, the weather isn't helping, although it isn't as cold as before, nevertheless, the crops aren't looking good, although our first bunch was good, the quantity of the other ones aren't meeting the expectations" Informed Demeter.
"It's because we don't have goods crops to use in this weather and we did it in a bad time as well, we cultivate in winter, that's the worse season to cultivate, we didn't have another choice though" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso analyzed once again, he needed to make some countermeasures.
"I have to get in my hands crops that can grow in a cold weather, the system doesn't have them and the ones in Tulip are inefficient, it seems that the trip to the amazon tribe is more important than I first initially though" Though Alfonso.
"Keep working on what we have, although is not in the expectations, we still have enough to feed all the people in Wasteland Valley and maybe use some to commerce with Tulip, okay, how is going the hunt Artemis?" Asked Alfonso.
"They have become decent enough, however, they haven't get used to stay in the wild for extended periods of time, so they can't camouflage in the environment like a good hunter, that's why, they can only hunt deer and small animals, if they go further than the borders, their lives will be in danger" Reported Artemis.
Yesterday, she went with cat one to train and checked the current stay of the hunters.
"Ribeiro, has any trouble emerged with the hunters about their payout?" Asked Alfonso.
"No, luckily Deferio and the others, as well as the ones began to supervise the exchange rate, there was a small accident with one young man who didn't want to exchange his food, so Deferio make a public punishment and whip him, since then, nobody tried anything funny" Said Ribeiro.
Alfonso though for some time, he knew that this method was effective, for now, but it wont be long before the commerce starts in this place and then this place will come back too life once and for all.
"Without commerce, this place isn't properly a town, Felio, will send the goods as well as the personal in two weeks, this will be good" Though Alfonso.
"Ribeiro, in one month, some people will come here to buy our goods, investigate the prices and the trading currency, I leave this task to you, take little pit with you, he will help you with the calculus, teach him the proper way to handle these things" Said Alfonso.
"As you wish your highness" Said Ribeiro.
"Demeter, go to Camel and tell him that we are ready to buy the crops, we will use meat and gold to buy them, as for the negotiation, I leave it in your hands" Said Alfonso.
"As you wish" Said Demeter.
"Artemis, go with white fang and examined the hunters, I want to form a small elite squad, although the Okeano's daughters are handful, at the end, there are kids and can't move in the battlefield, the other three cats will also join this squad and they will be their leaders, well, all except for cat one" Said Alfonso.
"As my lord wishes" Said Artemis.
"Cat one"
"Your highness" Said Cat one.
"Prepare, you will come with me to the Amazon tribe along with Cerberus, for now, go with Antiope and try to get as much information as you can about our enemy and the environment, I want everything from the landscape to the weather, animals that's lives there, how many amazons they have, what strategy they use to repel the invaders, everything, don't leave any detail behind and remember, the only way to win a war its to know your enemy, yourself and the battlefield as the palm of your hand" Said Alfonso.
"As your highness orders" Said Cat one.
"Cerberus, go with the other wolves and asked about the situation in general, I want to know the behavior of my people in these days, also, tell white fang that he will be in charge on imparting the punishment from now on, as for the details, I leave them to you, however, you must report to me every time a crime is done and what punishment you did, I trust yours and white fang's criteria, do not disappoint me" Said Alfonso.
"As you wish" Said Cerberus.
"Deferio"
"Yes your highness" Said Deferio.
"I want to test the Spartans, we will go to the military zone and see how are they doing, from today forwards, the Spartans will only have an elite group of one hundred, not more, in two weeks, a lot of new recruits will be coming, I have new methods and training for them, that's why, I want to select someone who can become the head of that new unit" Said Alfonso.
"As you order my lord" Said Deferio.
"Taylor"
"Yes, your highness" Said Taylor.
"I want to test the results of the educational program, I will prepare a test for the kids and the adults, make a quick review with them today and I will do the test tomorrow, also, I heard that you are from another town, as a scholar, you must now one thing or two about the architectonic structure of them, you will prepare a report for me, I want it in my desk in two days, you got it?" Said Alfonso.
"Yes, my lord" Said Taylor.
"Good! Everyone has their orders, now, let's go!" Said Alfonso while standing up from his chair.
Everyone nodded and went to do their own duties.
