The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 268 - Just Take My Hand

Alfonso looked at the crow who was all looking at him with different kinds of expression and make him felt a little uncomfortable.

"I made a mistake, I thought that these scholars were like the ones on earth" Though Alfonso.

As an ex-university student himself, Alfonso knew what were in the heads of university students, sex, parties and more sex. Although these kids were from the influence families in Leitol, they were, in the end, university students who had zero interest in the outside world, after all, they didn't have time…

"I am too busy studying, so I won't bother with anything else"

This phrase the more used, and the falser creed for every university student.

"I remember my first years, yep, that was life, few obligations, full party" Though Alfonso.

 Alfonso could say that his six years in Cambridge University was the most joyful period on his life.

"However, reality is cruel, when you start working, you know how much of a monster life can be"

For Alfonso, life was exactly like a game…

"Primary, Highschool, University… all of this are like stages, every time you clear a stage, the next one gets harder and harder, at the very end, there is the ultimate boss called death, who no one can beat… but… at the very end, at the death's door, one can said…"

"It was fun"

When Alfonso died, he though back in everything that he went through and he came to this conclusion before closing his eyes forever, of course, he had regrets like everyone else.

"I couldn't find love in my previous life, it's funny how I always thought that being alone was simpler, but… when I was in bed at the hospital, all I could though was if someone would cross that door and chat with me" Though Alfonso.

Of course, he had some good friends, but… as if god had played a bad joke on him, he, who was the only single person without family of all of his circle of friends, was the last that died.

"I wonder how is little Eli doing…"

Elizabeth, this was the name of Alfonso little sister on earth, and also the only family that he had left on earth.

Maybe, Alfonso greatest regret before dying was leaving his sister alone.

"Her kids and husband died in a horrible accident back to a trip to Brazil, after that, she came to live with me, my greatest wish was to leave after her… sigh"

Alfonso's heart trembled a little, his live on earth was a huge part on his current self, he was two persons in one body, and, although he already got used to his new identity, from time to time, he can't help himself.

"Hey, are you alright?"

A voice interrupted Alfonso's thought, he turned around and saw Demeter who looked worried.

"Ye-yes, I am fine, don't worry" Said Alfonso.

"You looked like you were about to cry" Said Demeter with worry on her voice.

"It's okay, just an old man's regrets" Said Alfonso.

"Come sit here" Said Demeter.

She took Alfonso to his seat.

Enrique looked at Alfonso and though that he wasn't feeling so well. In regards to Alfonso, Enrique understood the crowd, if it was for him, he wouldn't had invited Alfonso either, after all, he was very well aware of the…'legends' of Alfonso Lockheart.

"But what can I do? This was the order of Felio, I am the current lord of Arcadia just in name, the real owner on these lands is Felio" Though Enrique.

After the war with Tulip, Arcadia didn't fall because Felio acted fast enough to stabilize the power, as Enrique was one of the most fervent opposers to the previous lordship, Felio though on him as the successor to the throne of Arcadia, of course, there wasn't any free in this world, there were a number of regulations that Enrique had to compromise if he wanted the power, one of them was to submit to Felio.

"Basically, I am the marionette and he is the puppet master"

But Enrique wasn't so sad about this, after all, Felio prove to be a reasonable person, in fact, he could even said that Felio make things very easy for them, this could be said that was the first personal order from Felio.

"Please Alfonso Lockheart with the most of your abilities, if I heard a single complain of him, you will lose more than just the throne"

It was a very forward letter.

This was also the reason why Enrique tried his best to kiss Alfonso's ass.

"Everyone, the rumors of lord Alfonso are just that, rumors, please don't let yourself be misguided from false information, please, this is a party, enjoy yourself!" Said Enrique.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment before clapping towards Enrique.

Seeing that he somehow had solved the situation, Enrique made a sight of relieve, he took Yurisa with him and sat on his throne. He made a gesture to the musicians and the music started; the joyful moment infected the crowd who once again started to talk about more relaxed things.

"Here, some water and some food" Said Demeter.

"Thanks" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso looked at the young scholars who already started to form couples to dance.

He looked at Demeter with her beautiful dress and also Artemis. After that, he looked at his cane and smiled bitterly.

"Why don't you go and enjoy yourself for a bit? After all, it's not always that we have an opportunity like this" Said Alfonso.

"Why you say 'you' and don't 'we'?" Asked Demeter.

"Well, as you can see… I can't dance" Said Alfonso while signaling his leg.

"That's not an excuse, you don't want to dance with me!" Complained Demeter.

"It's not that I don't want to, I can't" Answered Alfonso.

"Of course, you can!" Said Demeter.

She took Alfonso by the hand and both went down to the dancing zone. Soon enough, they become the main focus of the party.

Demeter seemed like she didn't care for anything in the world while she dragged Alfonso to the main part of the dance floor.

"Demeter, what are you doing?" Asked Alfonso.

"Here!" Said Demeter while extending her arm.

"What?" Asked Alfonso.

"Don't think of anything, just take my hand" Said Demeter with a smile.

Alfonso looked at her and smiled.

"I really can't win against her"

He took her hand and prepare to dance...
