When Alfonso came in, he saw a young man bowing towards him, this young man was Orph, he was a young hunter who usually when to the forest to hunt small rabbits and so on. Alfonso, Orph and his wife, Tepio, sat at the dinner table with Alfonso, Demeter was playing with the kids at other room.

"Your majesty , is my honor and pleasure to meet you in person, although is not too much, please accept this" Say Tepio while bringing two roasted rabbits.

"I know that hunting isn't easy, please don't mind me, just a small leg will do, how about we have dinner, I am a little hungry myself" Say Alfonso with a light smile.

The husband and wife pair were surprised, however, they also made an inner sight of relieve, after all, this two rabbits were their only food for 3 days! , it wasn't easy to eat in Wasteland Valle, of course, food more value than any gold.

After the three of them sat down, Alfonso began eating, however, the pair of wife and husband just stay quietly there, without making any sound, like they were afraid of disturbing Alfonso.

"Please, this is your home, just eat, is a little embarrassing if I eat by myself" Said Alfonso.

The other two just look at each other and then began to eat. They were hungry after all.

"I must say that this is delicious, you are quite the good cooker, Tepio" Say Alfonso.

"Fo-fo-for your majesty, to actu-actu-actually say that….I, Tepio, cant be thankful enough!" Say Tepio, who's nerves hasn't settle down just yet.

Alfonso just made a small smile and continue.

"Actually, I came here to ask a few questions, if you don't mind"

"Please, your majesty, you can ask anything" Say Orph.

"Very well, then, I wanted to ask about your life here, what do you think about it? Do you like it?" Asked Alfonso.

The pair was a little surprised about this question, just when they were about to answer, Alfonso added.

"Please be sincere"

The pair was silence for some time before Orph talked.

"We…. don't like it, I came here from Tulip town when I was 18 years old looking for a fresh start in this town, however, I discover that this was a dead land, If it wasn't for the fact that we invest all of our money in this house...… we will have moved out long ago" Say Orph.

"Honey! You!..... Please! Your majesty have mercy, my husband didn't really mean what he said" Say with a scary face Tepio.

After all, the one in front of them was the lord of this land, and her husband just say that he didn't like he's land, some lords have eccentric personalities, maybe he will take offense and kill them in the spot!

However, just remained as calm as before, he really appreciated the sincerity of Orph, and he could also understand the worries of Tepio.

"Then, I will ask something else, what do you think of me as the lord?" Say Alfonso, however, this time, he was looking at Tepio, like he was waiting for her answer. Orph notice this and he thought that maybe he infuriated Alfonso for what he said before, Tepio also though so, but just as they were about to apologies as well, he so that Alfonso didn't see mad, in fact, he had the same smile as he had as the beginning, Tepio relaxed a little and then talked.

"As first, we didn't have too much hope of you, after all….." Tepio didn't dare to talk more however, she keep looking at Alfonso's cane.

"Haha, I understand, please, go on" Say Alfonso.

"I am so sorry for my impudence... like I was saying, we didn't have much thought of you at first, however, after that speak that you gave before the horde arrive, we could see a ray of hope, but hope is just hope after all, we didn't dare to believe that we will able to survive, in fact... we, and some other families, just the few money that we had to send our children to Tulip town, they returned just yesterday. Anyway, after the soldiers came back, they told us everything that happened, we couldn't believe what they said, if was like they were telling a child's history, with a great hero saving the day, of course, we also thank the soldiers, they put in danger their lives to protect us, however, your majesty was the most impressive, even Deferio was the one who first label you as a hero, the kids also learned this history….. you are their hero" Say Tepio with some tears on her eyes.

Alfonso just stood there for sometime without doing anything, then he made a long sight and his smile disappear, he became serious, like he had made an important decision.

"Then, I have one las question for the two of you...….. what do you want me to do for this town?" Asked Alfonso.

The two of them were stunned for a second, before they stood up and kneel before Alfonso.

""Please save this town!"" Say both as the same time.

Alfonso didn't reply, when they lift their heads, they saw that Alfonso had already stood up and was looking at them with resolution.

"I shall not let my town, and their people, die, this, I promise on my name, in the name of Alfonso Lockheart!" Say Alfonso.

The husband and wife began to cry, like they were a pair of kids.

After some time, Alfonso bid farewell to the couple and went back to the manor.

"Did you find what you were searching for~?" Asked Demeter

"What are you talking about?"

"The big difference between me and the other gods, is that I have lived in both worlds, I have lived as a human and also as a goddess. I have seeing, the lives of great warriors, people who transcend history and became legends, and I have also see normal people, who didn't have any extraordinary life, they lived normally and died in a normal way, their problems weren't as "hard" as killing the kraken or rescuing a princess, their problems were about food or who shall their kids marry. I can say with confidence that I can tell an extraordinary person and a normal person apart, and you , Alfonso, are as normal as one could be " Say Demeter with a sly smile

Alfonso just made a bitter smile, as expected from Demeter.

"Well, I don't know if I get my answer, however….." Say Alfonso while looking at his injured leg.

"I just have to keep moving forwards, that's was what, I , Alfonso Lockheart, choose" Say Alfonso with resolution.

Demeter just made a kind smile while the both them when back to the manor.

However, went they get there Alfonso felt something was wrong.

"Demeter, we didn't forget something?" Asked Alfonso

"Hmm~? Now that you mention it~ I think we did forget something~" Say Demeter

"Ah!" Suddenly Alfonso had a realization.

...........

[At the commoner's zone]

"Strange… where is my lord?"

Say Ribeiro, who had to spent 4 hours there before a wolf came telling him that his majesty was already back in the manor.
