The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 327 - Sky City

 Alfonso and company were taking a rest in a inn.

It has been almost a month since they left the Veritia family manor. Alfonso was currently sleeping in the wagon.

"Zzz"

"He sure can sleep" Said the young white-haired man.

"It has been 15 hours…" Murmured Clara.

"And yesterday he only woke up for 4 hours before falling sleep, fascinating!" Said Mengele.

"Zzz"

Indeed, it has being a while since Alfonso had time to sleep, although he didn't feel comfortable in the carriage… habits die hard.

"Anyway, since we are about to get to the next town… who is going to wake him up?" Said Mengele.

Everyone gulped down and looked at each other

By the time they got to know Alfonso, they knew a certain bad habit of Alfonso.

He was a grumpy person.

"I won't, I went the last time and he almost punch me" Said the young white-haired man.

"If he doesn't say it's an order, I won't go" Said Selene.

Everyone turned to look at Clara.

"I…I… don't…want to…" Said Clara in a mosquito-like voice.

At the end, they decided that Clara should be the one that woke up Alfonso.

"My… my lord…"

"Zzz"

"My lord… is… is time to wake up…"

"Zzz"

Clara looked at the defenseless Alfonso and stopped for some seconds.

She lifted her finger and couldn't resist the urge of poked Alfonso's cheek.

"Zzz"

"This is fun" Though Clara.

She smiled and started to poked Alfonso's cheek.

"It looks… yummy" Though Clara.

A sudden idea came to her mind; however, it was a very dangerous idea…

"Just a small bite… a small one… he won't wake up, right?" Though Clara.

She came closer to Alfonso while some drool escaped from her mouth.

"Slowly"

"Slowly~"

Clara's teeth were opened while her eyes focused on Alfonso's cheek.

"Almost there… almost there!"

"What are you doing?"

A voice interrupted Clara's actions, she looked down and saw Alfonso looking at her.

"God… I…this…"

Alfonso kept looking at Clara.

"This isn't what it looks like…"

"I am waiting for an explanation" Said Alfonso.

"I…" Clara became red

"I don't want to believe that you are a fetish that attacks people when they are sleep"

"I…" Clara's eye become wet.

"So, I will believe in you, so explain to me why were your teeth on my cheek"

"Uuu" Clara's tears finally escaped from her teeth.

After Alfonso finally stopped being a jerk, he woke up and dressed up.

"Uuu.."

"Look, I already apologies" Said Alfonso, he felt a bit guilty.

Clara looked at the trouble face of Alfonso and smiled.

"This girl…" Though Alfonso.

"My lord, we are here" The driver called for Alfonso.

"Finally" Though Alfonso.

Sky City was the second richest city on Leitol, only second to Dragon City, this City was famously known for being the city of the heroes.

Why the city of the heroes? Because in this city was the home of the sky arena, the only place were champions were allowed to solve their feuds.

Sky City was full of warriors, to said that the finest warriors of Leitol were born here wasn't an exaggeration.

In fact, a lot of retired soldiers who fulfill their years of services to their respective legion.

Soldiers were very well remunerated in Leitol, those who become soldiers of a legion had, at the very least, the future of their family secured, because the legion had a lot of benefits to them, one of those was that, in case that the soldier died in battle, the family will receive a subvention until the oldest son turned twenty five.

Of course, it wasn't a perfect system, for example, what happens after the son turns twenty-five? Well, the monetary help ended and the family had to life in a city that was made for royalty, unless the son becomes a soldier or find a job that gives him enough income to survive in Sky city.

Another plan was that, what if the soldier in question didn't have any sons, only daughters, well, the eldest daughter had two options, marry a noble or become a scholar, however, the latter was almost impossible because, unless the family was a royal family, Dragon's Academia didn't accept woman.

Despite all this flaws, becoming a soldier was, more or less, a pretty decent job.

Of course, becoming a soldier isn't easy, one had to pass a lot of test to become one, especially, if one wanted to become part of the legions, unless you are the crème of the crème, you were destined to fail.

For this same reason, soldiers were pretty prideful and arrogant.

One detail to take account on is that Sky City were in very friendly terms with princess Diana and prince Fernando.

Basically, the city was divided in two factions…

Those who supported Fernando and those who support Diana.

As for Raul and Susana.

Well, they weren't hated nor loved.

Because these two weren't exactly know to be in the battlefield. In any case, Raul knew that Sky city was a lost cause, so he didn't invest in this city a lot. As for Susana, nobody knew exactly where her forces were, however, the houses that had pledged loyalty to her could be count with one hand.

Sky City was like this, respect the strong and reject the weak.

For Alfonso though, this city was a taboo…

"If possible, I didn't want to come here…" Though Alfonso.

It was inevitable, if Alfonso wanted to get to Dragon City, he had to pass Sky City not matter what.

Just as Alfonso saw the walls of Sky City, a trembled came to his arm.

"Shit" Though Alfonso.

He saw two guards on the entrance.

"Halt" Said one of the guards.

"What is your purpose in coming here?" Asked the other guard.

"I am from the Veritia family in the north, we came here to rest for a few days before going to Dragon City" Said the driver.

He showed the emblem of the Veritia family and the guard became respectful.

"So is the honorable Veritia family, sure, sure, you can enter, please"

Nobody dared to be disrespectful to the Veritia family.

 The carriage was about to enter went one of the guards turned to look at the carriage and his eyes opened while displaying a disbelief face.

"STOP!" Shouted the guard.

The other guard was stunned, his friend has a furious face on him.

"Stop it! They are the Veritia family! We aren't qualified to stop them!" Said the guard.

However, his friend didn't even flinch, he pointed to the carriage.

"HOW DARE YOU COME HERE!?"

The carriage stopped and a figured went out of the carriage.

"ALFONSO LOCKHEART!"
