The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 291 - Queen And King

"Your son understands" Said Pierre respectfully.

"Good, I trust you, Pierre" Said Alisson.

"Well then, I will be on my way, I have some matters to attend" Added Alisson.

"Yes, mother" Said Pierre.

Black wind enveloped Alisson and, in an instant, she disappeared.

 After Alisson left, Pierre couldn't help but smile.

"Claude, you must feel quite good with yourself right now… let's wait and see how much that last"

.............................................….

[A couple of hours later]

In a carriage far away from there, a middle-aged man was taking a nap with a smile on his face.

"Ah, peace its truly nice" Though Karl.

However, at that moment, he frowned.

"I jinxed myself" Though Karl.

He opened his eyes and saw a figure appearing in front of him.

"Alisson" Said Karl.

"…" Alisson looked at Karl but didn't answer.

Karl looked at Alisson for some seconds before sighing.

"It seems that this time is quite severe huh?" Said Karl.

"What do you think?" Said Alisson while showing her arm.

Karl looked at the black spots on Alisson's white arm and he couldn't help but frown.

"Blood rejection… I see, you finally got the blood dragon, how did you do it?" Said Karl.

"That's none your business, is it?" Asked Alisson.

"Yeah… I guess it doesn't" Said Karl with a smile.

"I am assuming that I have something to do with this, right?" Asked Karl.

"Not precisely you, but the Boltor family does"

"To be more specific, your son does"

After hearing that, Karl sighed once again.

"Alisson, care to explain in detail?"

Alisson took out a paper and show it to Karl.

"Read it and you will understand" Said Alisson.

Karl took the paper and read it, after finishing his face become dark.

"This idiot…" Murmured Karl.

"Karl… it appears that my word doesn't mean anything to your son" Said Alisson.

"Alisson, please, we both know that this wasn't planned by him" Said Karl.

"My son can be a little bit arrogant, however, he isn't arrogant enough to offend the Veritia family without a backup" Said Karl.

"The first prince" Said Alisson.

"My son is a good friend of his, well, we all know that they are only using each other for their own benefits, nevertheless, the façade is that they are childhood friend" Added Alisson.

"Pierre?" Asked Karl.

"No, he isn't the scheming type, he is an honest and straightforward kid" Said Alisson.

"That doesn't worry you?" Asked Karl.

"To be honest, a little, but he has me, the most powerful woman in Leitol, on his side" Said Alisson.

"Who would get that the unruly Queen of Winds, Alisson Veritia, was such an overprotective mother" Said Karl with a chuckle.

"Aren't you the same? You spoil your son too much" Said Alisson.

"Look who is talking" Said Karl with a smile.

They looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

"Alisson, how much longer do we have to live like this?" Asked Karl.

"You made your choice twenty years ago" Said Alisson, erasing the smile on her face.

"It wasn't a choice" Said Karl.

"You had a choice" Said Alisson.

"I couldn't do that to her" Said Karl.

"Then, you think that I was happy to be the 'other' woman?" Asked Alisson.

"…" Karl wanted to say something; however, the words didn't come out.

"Alisson, I-"

"Don't" Alisson interrupted him.

"We both made a mistake, that ended in someone innocent losing its life"

"We can't be man and woman" Said Alisson with sadness on her voice.

Karl also looked at Alisson with obvious sadness on his eyes.

"Just the king of north…" Said Karl.

"…And the Queen of winds" Said Alisson.

Karl smiled bitterly after looking at the beautiful figure of Alisson.

"There is nothing worse in this world than having the most important person for you so close…" Said Karl with extending his hand.

His hand stopped a few centimeters away from Alisson's face.

"And so far… at the same time"

The hand of Karl retracted and he stood there in place while looking at Alisson who had her head down.

A couple of minutes of silence were both remember the long past when they first met… back when they were kids.

When they first looked at each other…

When they talk to each other…

When they held hands for the first time…

When they longed for each other…

And…

When they loved each other…

""My precious memories"" Though both.

They both sighed.

"Anyway Karl, I didn't come here to talk about the past, I came here to tell you that the actions of your son… will have repercussions" Said Alisson.

"I usually would protest, however, after seeing your arm… I guess I have no room for protest" Said Karl.

"The Hell you do, it will take me months to heal this injury" Said Alisson.

"Okay, okay, what is going to be then" Said Karl.

"I want the head of the five lords" Said Alisson.

"Alisson, are you insane? Those five are my most loyal houses, you know how much of a blow the Boltor family would take if I let them die" Said Karl.

"They thought that I am stupid enough to not learn about this just because I am training and was worse, they think that they can disregard my words and go unpunished? They must be seeking death; I am just here to deliver what they want" Said Alisson.

"Alisson, you always go to the extremes" Said Karl while massaging his eyebrows.

 "I already ordered Pierre to take care of them" Said Alisson.

"Alisson, there must a way to resolve this…" Said Karl.

Alisson though for some seconds.

"There is no turning back in killing them, however, I guess I need to give you something in return" Said Alisson.

She took another paper from her pocket and handed to Karl.

"A letter of introduction?"

"He is the newest commander of the Lion Brigade, Felipe, he is someone promising, I will send him to you, of course, his battalion will go with him" Said Alisson.

"I am still losing in this…" Said Karl.

"Take it or not?" Asked Alisson.

"I don't have much of a choice, do I?" Asked Karl with a bitter smile.

Alisson nodded and put her hand on her cheek while looking at the window.

Karl stood there for some seconds while looking at Alisson.

"You are not leaving?" Asked Karl.

Alisson didn't turn.

"It's not bad to take a ride every now and then" Said Alisson.

Karl looked at Alisson stunned, before smiling and closing his eyes.

"I guess you are right" Said Karl.

Both enjoyed the breeze of the night.
