"Miss Underheavens, is an honor to meet you personally" Said Pierre.
The woman in cloth was no other than Alfonso's fiancée, Unstoppable Underheavens!
"Pierre Veritia… or should I call you monarch of the sword?"
"Just Pierre" Said Pierre with a smile.
"Only my enemies call me monarch of the sword" He added.
"Pierre, I am sorry but I don't have much time, where is Alfonso?" Asked Unstoppable.
"You missed him by a few days, he just went on his way to the capital" Said Pierre.
"To the capital!? Damn!" Said Unstoppable with anger.
"I know is a little bit rude to ask, however… what do you need him for?" Asked Pierre.
"First, answer my question, why did he have to go to the capital?"
"He is representing the north in the upcoming meeting of the dragons" Said Pierre.
"He? Why? Why isn't Claude nor Anastasia going?"
"You should know why that its why you aren't going either" Said Pierre.
Unstoppable though for a second before sighing.
"Yeah, you are right…" Said Unstoppable with resignation.
"Sorry about that… I know that you must have wanted to meet your fiancée" Said Pierre.
"Hmph! Who are you calling fiancée!? My dad decided that, not me!" Said Unstoppable.
"Haha, I see… it's a shame though" Said Pierre with a smile.
"?" Unstoppable was confused.
"He is a good match" Said Pierre.
Unstoppable was even more confused.
"Haha, sorry, I was just talking to myself, anyway, what are your plans now?" Asked Pierre.
"I will go to the capital; I have to talk to Alfonso personally no matter what" Said Unstoppable.
"Do you need some escort?" Asked Pierre.
"Not need" Said Unstoppable.
She turned around and left the room, leaving Pierre alone.
"It seems that this meeting will be more troublesome than what we initially thought" Murmured Pierre.
"It seems that you are worried, big brother" A voice came from behind Pierre.
"Sana"
Pierre turned to look at Sana who seemed angry.
Pierre couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you still throwing a tantrum, Sana?" Said Pierre.
"I! I am not throwing a tantrum" Said Sana.
"Haha, you are so cute sometimes, Sana"
Sana's cheeks become red.
"I hate you, brother!"
Sana left the room.
Pierre sighed while seeing the back of Sana.
"We couldn't let that guy go… he is hiding something… something dangerous" Though Pierre.
The image of Felipe came to his mind.
"It seems that I will have to investigate this… personally" Though Pierre.
..........................................................................................….
[Hell City]
Right now, the town was in a process of change, since the death of Leonardo, the citizens have become sorrowful and hateful.
Sorrowful because everyone remembered Leonardo as a kind and wise lord, so his death was a huge blow to the city.
Hateful because everyone already knew who killed his lord.
A champion, or to be more precise, several champions.
"I can't believe that the Veritia family and the idiotic prince colluded with each other to kill our Lord…"
"HATEFUL! Lord Leonardo would never lose to a champion! They had to sneak attack him to kill him! The champions are, way to hateful!"
"DEATH TO THE CHAMPIONS!"
These phrases were common in Hell city.
The citizens wanted the blood of the champions.
And the current lord, the Vize house, didn't know what to do.
"My lord" Said a woman towards a middle-aged man.
"My wife, don't call me like that, the only reason I, Fedrick Vize, is the current lord, is because nobody else wanted to… even I didn't want to" Said Fedrick with resignation.
After Leonardo died, the Veritia family left without saying much, so, the most important families in Hell city reunited to decided who will be the next lord.
Funny enough, nobody wanted to propose themselves.
Fedrick, who has been a soldier for almost twenty years and had accumulated a lot of merit in the battlefield, seemed to be the most suitable option. Of course, this was an excuse, in reality, nobody wanted to do it so they needed a sacrifice.
"Thus, the sacrifice was me" Said Fedrick with a long sigh.
"Husband…" Said the wife of Fedrick, Kathlyn, with worry.
Fedrick looked at his wife and smiled.
"How is our son?" Asked Fedrick.
"He is good and healthy…" Said Kathlyn with an uneasy expression.
"What is?" Asked Fedrick.
"It just that there is no nanny that wants to work for us…" Said Kathlyn with a bitter smile.
Fedrick knew that this was going to happen, however, he still couldn't help but frown at this notice.
Kathlyn wasn't only the wife of Fedrick, she was also one of the most important merchants in Hell city, so, she didn't have too much time to attend her son, of course, she put her son first and the rest second.
However, this couldn't go for much longer.
"My partners are starting to doubt my capabilities as the leader" Said Kathlyn.
"Who dares?" Asked Fedrick with anger.
"Is basically the representant of the merchant association" Said Kathlyn.
"That snake… alas…" Said Fedrick with frustration.
The merchant association couldn't be touched, not even by champions, Fedrick obviously knew about this so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Maybe I should just give up on the leader position" Said Kathlyn.
"You have worked too hard on this to just give up" Said Fedrick.
"Our son is more important" Said Kathlyn.
Fedrick hugged his wife.
Although she didn't say it, he knew how hard his wife fought to be in this position.
"Only because I don't want to go to declare war on the Veritia family, nobody wants to work for us, this is so frustrating" Though Fedrick.
"MY LORD!" A guard came running.
Fedrick let go of Kathlyn.
"What is it?" Asked Fedrick.
"Someone answered the announce!" Said the guard.
"What announce?"
"The one that says that you are recruiting a nanny!" Said the guard.
The eyes of Kathlyn sparked after hearing this.
"Who… who is it!?" Asked Kathlyn.
"Is a… beautiful middle-aged woman!" Said the guard.
""What?"" Fedrick and Kathlyn were surprised.
Everyone knew that, usually, the nannies were always an old women.
However, a middle-aged woman?
And even more, a beautiful one?
"Let her in!" Said Fedrick.
The guard nodded and, from the entrance a clothed woman entered.
She took out her cloth and reveled herself.
"True enough, this woman is beautiful! In her prime, she must have been a goddess!" Though Kathlyn.
Obviously, Fedrick though the same.
"Hello, I heard that you want to take care of our son?" Asked Fedrick.
"That's right, I think that I have the qualities for the job" Said the woman.
"How many years have you been working as a nanny?" Asked Kathlyn.
The woman smiled.
"You wouldn't believe me" Said the woman.
Fedrick and Kathlyn looked at each other, for some reason, they knew that the woman wasn't lying.
"What is your name?" Asked Fedrick.
"Demeter"
