The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 229 - Tyrant- Part One-

Let's go back to the time when Dionysius and Hygeia were still drinking on the tavern.

Alfonso and Artemis were walking away from the wealthy zone of Peringrer.

"Alfonso, can I ask you something?" Said Artemis.

"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"Why don't you fight back when someone is obviously looking down on you? You have the motive and the power to do it, that would teach them who is in charge" Said Artemis.

"… I could ask you the same, if it was the you from when you first came, you would have, at the very least, crippled that guy, instead, you only punched him, what happen?" Asked Alfonso.

"… It seems that begin with you had affected me indeed" Said Artemis.

"Are you mad about that?" Said Alfonso.

"No, I am pleased with the person I am becoming; now that I think about it, your character has indeed changed not only me, but even Hephaestus, Demeter and the two clowns" Said Artemis.

"You think so?"

"Yes, I do, However, I don't if it's a good change"

"Why?"

"Because… we are more becoming more and more like humans" Said Artemis.

Alfonso looked at her and knew the root of the problem.

"I tend to forget since I laugh and talk with them, however, they are gods, nothing can change that" Though Alfonso.

"However" Artemis voice interrupted Alfonso's thoughts.

"It's like I said, I don't feel bad with the current me" Said Artemis with a small smile.

Alfonso looked at her beautiful face and smiled gratefully.

"Have I ever told you that you looked the most beautiful person in the world when you smile?" Said Alfonso.

"No, you haven't" Artemis returned to her usual cold face.

However, Alfonso could clearly see the redness on her cheeks.

"How cute" Though Alfonso.

"Anyway, I haven't answer yet, did I? Indeed, like everyone else, I do get pissed when people treat me bad when I clearly haven't done anything to deserve that, however, I do gain nothing for acting mighty and highly in front of them, in fact, I could create a potential enemy, plus, there is also the fact that we have to collaborate with them for the future commerce of Wasteland Valley so, to avoid troubles, I like to maintain a low profile… of course, I have moments that I snap up, for example, when my father wanted to make me a very cute funeral while I am very lively and kicking" Said Alfonso.

"I see" Said Artemis.

"By the way, I never really get to ask, what did Chrono do when he went to the funeral?" Asked Alfonso.

"!" Artemis was surprised.

"You mean that bastard didn't tell you what he did with your body?" Asked Artemis.

"He did told me that I should be grateful because he did something good for me…" Alfonso suddenly felt a chill when he pronounced those words.

"Knowing that bastard common sense… oh shit" Though Alfonso.

"Please, tell me that he didn't do anything to over the top" Said Alfonso.

Artemis looked at Alfonso and recalled everything that Chrono did at the funeral.

"Well…" Artemis didn't know where to start.

"PLEASE, STOP! YOUR HIGHNESS, NO, YOUR ALMIGHTINESS'!" A voice suddenly interrupted both.

""Your Almightiness?"" Though both.

""Well, It had nothing to do with us""

Both of them though the same and went on their way towards the inn.

However, the voice, who seemed more desperate, shouted once again.

"PLEASE, YOUR ALMIGHTINESS, FORGIVE OUR LACK OF HOSPITALITY, WE ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, NO, THAT IS TO PREPOSTEROUS, ALL I WANT IS A CHANCE TO SHOW YOU OUR SINCERITY IN ASKING FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS" Said the voice once again.

"Jesus, who is this guy shouting to? He must very desperate to said all that, maybe the guy is someone really important, that's funny, I haven't seeing anyone like that" Though Alfonso.

"I wonder who is this- Ugh!?"

Alfonso turned around to check out and was surprised when he saw thirty something man looking at him with tears on their eyes.

"What the heck?" Said Alfonso.

"MY LORD, YOU DECIDED TO TURN AROUND, I, CARLO PERINGRER, APPRECIATE IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART" Said Carlo.

"Do I know you?" Asked Alfonso.

"HOW RUDE OF ME!" Said Carlo.

He kneeled on the ground.

"The name of this lowly one is Carlo Peringrer, prince of Peringrer and son of Oliver, I came bringing gifts in hope that my lord is willing to forgive us for our lack of hospitality before a great figure like yourself" Said Carlo.

He looked up and saw that Alfonso wasn't talking, neither do Artemis.

"Crap, crap, crap, he is mad!, he is mad! Is our end if he decides to act! I need to go with plan B" Though Carlo.

However, contrary to Carlo's thoughts, Alfonso wasn't speaking for a entirely different reason.

He was so stunned that he didn't know what to say!

"I understand that my lord is enraged, however, me and my father have come with a salutation! BRING THAT STUPID IDIOT WHO DARES TO OFFEND MY LORD!" Shouted Carlo.

The thirty something men looked at Carlo with a complicated expression, however, after seeing the madness in Carlo's eyes, they didn't hesitate and dragged a man to the front.

This man was no other than the guard that had previously talked to Alfonso.

"We offer my lord this sacrifice to seek for my lord's forgiveness! Hey! You, trash, come here and seek forgiveness!" Shouted Carlo.

The guard, with unwillingness, walked very slowly towards Alfonso and Carlo.

He kneeled on the ground and, with his face on the mud, said

"I didn't know that my lord was such a great figure, I couldn't attend for this error, even if I killed myself, however, this humble guard has a family that waits me at home, I ask for my lord to search in the bottom of his heart and find the kindness to forgive this idiot, is my lord is willing, I am prepared to devote myself to my lord until the day of my death!" Shouted the guard.

The people on the sides who were looking at this, couldn't help but shiver at the sight of Alfonso and walked away from him like he was a plague.

Alfonso, the main protagonist, was so confused that his head started that hurt.

"I-"

"please MY LORD!" Shouted the guard.

"I just want-"

"" PLEASE MY LORD!"" Shouted the thirty something men from behind.

"I am just trying to say-"

"HE HAS A FAMILY MY LORD!" Shouted one man from the crown.

"SHUT UP! I AM TRYING TO TALK HERE!" Shouted Alfonso.

In an instant, everything become quiet, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Artemis, I really need some context here" Said Alfonso.

Artemis touched her forehead and said.

"It's a long story" Said Artemis.

Alfonso and Artemis followed the Carlo and the others while Artemis explained to Alfonso what happened on the funeral.

The face of Alfonso changed a lot during the explanation of Artemis.

It was quite fun actually.

When Alfonso and Artemis reached the manor of Peringrer once again, Artemis finished telling Alfonso his…'adventures' in the funeral.

"THAT FUCKINF KID!" Said Alfonso.

"…Sorry, we couldn't stop him" Said Artemis.

"It's not your fault, the only one at fault it's me, I should have known that something like this could happen" Said Alfonso.

"What now?" Said Artemis.

"It's useless to try to clear the misunderstanding, what is done is done, in fact, if I suddenly changed my character, they will think that I am crazier than what they originally though, so… given the current situation, I think I will need to act… like Chrono" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

"What do you mean?" Asked Artemis.

"What I am saying is…"

"I think I will need to act like a tyrant" Concluded Alfonso.
