Two days passed in the blink of an eye and today was finally the day, every town in Leitol was in 'mourning', at least, that's was how is supposed to be when a member of the royal family died, however, for ninety percent of the people in Leitol, today was a day just like any other, people woke up and go up to work to feed themselves and their families, nothing new really.
However, for the upper powers in towns, today was a day of interest, some powers were invited to the funeral of Alfonso, however, to be invited you have to be, at the very least, a friend of someone with power in Dragon city, if not, even if you are a lord in your town, you are just a commoner in Dragon City.
A good example of this was Felio, who was sitting on his throne with a grave expression, his right hand, Leonardo, was looking at him with a strange expression.
"Your highness, what's wrong?" Asked Leonardo.
"Leonardo, don't you know what day is today?"
"…Monday?"
"No, you idiot, today is Alfonso's funeral"
"Oh! My lord, I didn't know that your friendship with lord Alfonso was that deep, I must say that I, Leonardo, am touched" Said Leonardo.
"Ja? What are you talking about, Leonardo?" Asked Felio.
"Well, you don't want to go to the funeral because you find it disrespectful and insulting towards lord Alfonso… that's the reason…right?" Asked Leonardo.
"You let your imagination run too wild, Leonardo, sure, Alfonso is my friend… or, to be more precise, my benefactor, my informant told me that my daughter since cheerful and happy since she got to Wasteland Valley, I am a happy father, all I am waiting in this throne is for Alfonso to say, 'I found someone' so I can finally enjoy my life, however, all of the above are not the reasons why I don't want to go" Said Felio.
"Why don't you want to go them, your highness?" Asked Leonardo.
"You see… I heard that Alfonso was sick and he hadn't show himself in quite some time and the last time he appeared he sew the mouth of someone who bad mouthed him" Said Felio.
"Sew the mouth!? Isn't that… torture? Are you sure that 'that' Alfonso do that? He isn't the kind of person who would punish someone with torture, and he especially is the fault lied in the fact that he bad mouthed him, after all, here, A lot of people called him the stupid prince and he didn't seem to mind, that gorgeous girl on the other hand, was ready to kill someone every time called him the fallen prince" Said Leonardo.
"Exactly, that isn't like him at all, however, I don't think that he suddenly changed personalities, I think… that he is upset about something, you know, people make a lot of bad decisions when their blind by wrath, I think the reason why he is upset is…"
"The funeral!" Answered Leonardo.
"Exactly, now that I think about, if someone make a funeral on my name while I am well and kicking, I would also explode in anger, I forgot that he seemed to… 'immune' towards people bad mouthing him, that he is also a human being with feeling, of course , I get where he is coming from, however…"
"You are afraid that he would make a rush decision?" Asked Leonardo.
Felio sighed.
"I am afraid that he already did it" Said Felio.
"What do you mean?" Asked Leonardo.
"I heard that Alfonso hasn't show himself in quite sometime because he is 'sick', not even my daughter can see him…" Said Felio.
"You… you don't mean!?"
Felio sighed once again.
"Alfonso… don't go die on your own, my daughter wouldn't be able to take another lost" Prayed Felio while looking at the horizon.

[Dragon city]
At the south of Dragon City, two young men were looking all the carriages that were passing throught the roads, they weren't that young, they were sixteen to fifteen years old, if you looked well, they were almost identical, the only difference was that one of them had a red iris on his left and a green iris on his right while his older brother was the contrary, they were twins and the heirs of the Gilian house, Asterous Gilian and Andrea Gilian.
"I can't believe this, this more like a carnival rather than a funeral" Said Andrea with angered.
"Cant be helped, Alfonso was rather hated, especially here, some of the soldiers came from nobles families, you know how prideful they are" Said Asterous.
"Its no fair… Al wasn't a bad person, he was-"
"Stop it, Andrea, if father hears you calling him 'Al' he will punish you" Said Asterous.
Andrea flicked while looking at his brother.
"Brother! How can you talk like that, when you were bullied back then, Brother Al was the only who defended you! Even against the champions! He didn't flatter!" Said Andrea.
"YOU ARE UNGRATEFUL!"
Andrea shouted and leave the balcony leaving Asterous there.
Asterous looked at his little brother and then back to the street, then he clenched this teeth.
"Little Brother, you really think I don't care!?" Though Asterous.
Andrea hadn't notice that, in all the conversation they had, his brother was clenching his hand so hard that a trial of blood could be seem.
*Pam*
"Fuck!"
Asterous punched the rail and shouted in frustration.
........................
"Everything is ready, my prince" Said a woman with a maid outfit.
"Good, let the royal maids receive the guess, at six a.m tomorrow, the maids shall be on the door receiving the guess, remember, I shall not forgive any accidents" Said Fernando.
"As the prince order" Said the maid.
"Father gave permission to open the wine cellar, bring twenty bottles of ten year aged wine, four bottles of fifty year aged wine for the dragon families and one hundred year old aged wine for my brothers and sisters" Said Fernando.
"As the prince wishes" Said the maid.
"Ah, I almost forgot, you and Hilbert shall receive the dragon families, especially, the young lady of the Underheavens family, when she comes, let me know" Said Fernando.
"Yes" Said the maid.
When Fernando looked at the maid, his eyes suddenly flashed, he grabbed the maid from her hand and turned her around.
"Not bad, come to my room tonight" Said Fernando.
The blushed a little and smiled.
"As my lord wishes"
........................
Up in the sky a huge white dragon was crossing the skies, on his head, three people could be seeing, two young men and one beautiful girl.
"So you see, after we 'died' a man appeared, he had long brown hair and a bear, he gave people hope and told them that there was this 'god' that was the only god and if you are good and follow his teachings, then, when you die, you would go with him and enjoy eternal happiness… pff… jajajajajajajaja" Said one the young men.
"… Its not funny" Said the young woman.
"Come on Demeter, how cannot not be funny!? Eternal happiness!? Really!? How can humans be so retards to actually believe that, jajajajaja" Laugthed Chrono once again.
"Just because you cant see him, it doesn't mind its not real" Answered the other young man.
"Artemis, come on, we both know what happens when someone dies and, by no means, you go to a place of eternal happiness, in fact, you could say that its actually the contrary" Said Chrono.
"You laugh because you actually felt jealous of them" Said Demeter.
"Me? Jealous? That's an interesting answer, how about you elaborate a little?" Said Chrono.
"Want me to spill it out? Sure, you are jealous of them because they cant die… you, on the other hand, must suffer a worthless and yet, eternal, life" Said Demeter with a smirk.
"Ho? I must said that you are pretty clever, just like your grandmother, jeje, I give you this, I am indeed jealous of humans, however, the reason that you have mention it, it isn't because of that, immortality its actually not that bad, I can be a viewer of all the interesting things that humanity does, I am looking forward to the world war III, hope don't miss it~" Said Chrono.
Artemis looked back at him and made a small 'Hmph' sound and turned around ignoring him.
Demeter also looked at him, she said
"But it comes with a price, immortality"
Chrono looked back at her and, with his signature smile, he ask
"What Price?"
Demeter smiled and turned around
"Your mind" Said Demeter
And then, she stayed quiet the rest of the journey.
Chrono looked back at both goddesses and smiled with a crazy look on his eyes.
"Indeed" Said Chrono.
The three of them looked forward and saw something beyond the distance.
"We will get there tomorrow, hold on, I will accelerated" Said the dragon.
The white dragon, Leviathan, accelerated.
Dragon city was only half a day of distance.
