Alfonso hasn't felt this powerless before, at the threat of Alister, he knew that he didn't have much of an option.
"The trio are exhausted and Selene is a double edge sword" Though Alfonso.
"Well, Alfonso Lockheart what do you choose?" Asked Alister once again.
"We… will go" Said Alfonso with anger.
"Good" Said Alister.
Alfonso and company followed Alister back to the mansion where Leonardo was waiting.
"Alfonso Lockheart, you sure know to make trouble for me" Said Leonardo.
"Leonardo… What do you want?" Asked Alfonso.
"Straight to the point… good… then I will be frank with you"
"I want you to be my… meditator between us and the Veritia family" Said Leonardo.
"The Veritia family?" Asked Alfonso.
"That's right, Pierre Veritia is currently on a witch hunt for some of us, I want you to tell him to go back" Said Leonardo.
Alfonso heard Leonardo's request and couldn't help but laugh.
"So, you are scared? Hahaha, the almighty lord of Hell's City is scared? That sure is weird!" Said Alfonso.
Leonardo looked at the laughing Alfonso while clenching his fist.
"Don't make me do something that I will regret later, Alfonso Lockheart" Said Leonardo.
"What do you plan on doing? Kill me? Sure, if it was in your hands, I am sure that I would already be a corpse, but you know that if you kill me, not even my brother would be able to prevent your death" Said Alfonso.
Leonardo looked at Alfonso and laughed sarcastically.
"If you really think that, then you are stupider than what I originally thought, I won't die, even If I kill you" Said Leonardo.
"And what makes you said so>?" Asked Alfonso.
"Because his majesty told me so" Said Leonardo with conviction.
"Fernando told me that I won't die if I follow him"
"And I believe him"
Alfonso looked at Leonardo.
"Where does your loyalty comes from?" Alfonso couldn't help but ask.
Leonardo smiled.
"Because… he is the only one who can be king"
"And I will move earth and seas… to make that happen"
Alfonso was stunned with Leonardo's resolution. He always thought that this guy was selfish brat with a egotistic complex… but it seems that there was more than the eye could see.
"He is the only one who can be king? Ha! Like I tell my brother and everyone else, I don't have the ambition of being king…"
"BUT!"
"IF HE INSISTS IN MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT FOR ME… THEN THE GAME CHANGES!" Shouted Alfonso.
Leonardo looked with fury at Alfonso. However, after some seconds he laughed.
"You? Become king? Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
"Who knows?"
"Alfonso, no, let's call you by your more acquire nickname, fallen prince…" Said Leonardo with sarcasm.
"Do you know why are you so different of your brothers and sisters?" Asked Leonardo.
"Because I am not an asshole?"
"No, it's because you lack something very important"
"And that's it?"
Leonardo smiled.
"You lack ambition"
He walked slowly towards Alfonso.
"You live your life leaving just for the sake of leaving it…"
"You don't have goals… you don't have plans…"
"You only live every day hoping that you can see the next day… you know how I like to call those kinds of people?"
"…" Alfonso didn't answer.
"I called them… Mediocre"
Leonardo stopped a few centimeters away from Alfonso.
"Do you think someone as mediocre as you can govern Leitol?"
Leonardo neared the distance and he got closer to Alfonso's ear.
"You are too arrogant" Whispered Leonardo.
Alfonso trembled in fury while hearing Leonardo…
However… the worst part was…
"I can't deny him!" Though Alfonso.
When Alfonso came to this world, everything was new to him, everyday represented danger, so, to not let himself be overwhelmed by this new reality, he chose to put a motivation for him… survive.
Survive this world… survive this new opportunity that someone gave to him… after that, he dedicated himself to live every day to make sure that he could survive the next one, the system helped him to make a path… however…
That wasn't his path… it was the path of the system.
"Ambition… certainly, I don't have that" Though Alfonso.
He always thought that being ambitious was something bad, after all, he couldn't have the 'luxury' of aspiring for more giving his current circumstances…
"However, things have changed, I don't have the limitans of before… I have people that can help realize bigger things…" Though Alfonso.
"Was I wrong?" Murmured Alfonso.
Seeing the state of Alfonso, Leonardo smiled to himself.
"Just a few words were enough to shake your will… Alfonso Lockheart, you are indeed not fit to be king" Said Leonardo.
Alfonso looked at Leonardo.
"Indeed, is as you say, I don't have ambitions, I live my life every day as it was the last one, making every possible choice to secure my own and my beloved one's survival," Said Alfonso.
Leonardo smiled coldly at Alfonso.
Alfonso looked at the smile of Leonardo and felt something on his chest…
Something that seems so far away before… but now… seemed to be just at the reach of his hand.
"I have been too pleased with my current life that I forgot that things might change in the future… or maybe afraid… however, deep inside… I also have a dream… no… a goal!"
.............................................….
Inside of Alfonso Chrono and Prometheus looked at the situation with smiles on their faces.
"Finally… I was getting desperate, I have to thank that fucking retard, Hahaha" Said Chrono.
Prometheus looked helplessly at Chrono before looking back at the scene.
"Good for you… Alfonso" Though Prometheus
.............................................….
Alfonso's aura suddenly changed, he stopped resting on Clara's shoulder.
He grabbed his cane and stood firmly before Leonardo.
"I AM ALFONSO LOCKHEART!" Shouted Alfonso.
He stomped his cane on the ground while a green aura enveloped him, however…
"This isn't soul power!" Though Clara.
"That's…!" Said Mengele.
The young white-haired man sighed while looking at the aura.
Selene didn't react to this… however, if you looked really closely, you could see some drool dripping from her mouth.
"This kid has a good future!" Though Odysseus.
Ding!
A message came from the system!
"MY GOAL… MY WILL… IS TO NOT REPEAT PAST MISTAKES! TO LIVE MY LIFE PLENTY WHILE LEARNING FROM THE PAST… TO HAVE A BETTER FUTURE!" Shouted Alfonso.
