Wa-wait, please wait! If you kill him then, we are all dead!" Suddenly a voice came from behind Demeter.

When she looked back, she saw a man handless man walking towards her, it was Excelio.

"Who are you?" Asked Demeter Calmly.

Excelio was frightened, he had seem all the battle before so he knew that even 100 of them weren't a much for this woman.

He kneel in one knee.

"Your highness, my name is Excelio, son of the late king TItio" Said Excelio

"Ho? You're the son of that man, yet, you plague pardon to his murder?" Asked Demeter.

"Don't misunderstand this humbles one intention, I don't see the day when his head leaves his body, however, I am now talking by all the people here, not even you, your highness, can afford to offend the Pentagate house" Said Excelio.

Demeter stood calmly there, this put Excelio even more nervous.

"Your highness, maybe with your ability, you could escaped , however… what about prince Alfonso?" Said Excelio while looking at Alfonso.

Demeter changed her expression, she seem to be thinking about something.

Meanwhile, Lucio saw the light at the end of the tunnel, he wanted to go to Excelio's side and give him a big kiss.

Everyone was waiting for Demeter's decision.

After two minutes, Demeter made a small sigh and looked at the battlefield.

The causalities for both sides were heavy, Arcadia, with had initially 5000 men, now had 1000 men at the most while Tulip had 200 something men.

"Then lets end here" Thought Demeter.

"Today, both sides have suffered a crushing defeat, there is no winner in war… only death. Parents who won't see their children grow, children who would make their parents wait forever for his or her return, this is what war means" Said Demeter slowly, sadness could be perceive in her tone.

"Today, both sides will pledge their loyalty to his majesty Alfonso Lockheart" Said Demeter while looking at Excelio.

He was now the new lord of Arcadia after all.

Excelio looked back at his father, who laid down on the ground and some tears appear on his face. He wiped them and looked back at Demeter then he nodded.

Demeter turned around to where Alfonso was.

"Your silence means that you also agree, right Felio?" Asked Demeter.

The "unconscious" Felio suddenly opened his eyes and made a bitter smile while nodding.

He sat down with great effort and looked back at Excelio.

"If you give me back my daughter, then I have nothing else to say" Said Felio.

"I told you since the beginning, I don't know where your daughter is, nor my father knew" Said Excelio.

"Yo-you!"

"What will be the point of lying at this point" Said Excelio while looking at Demeter.

"he isn't lying Felio" Said Demeter.

"It- its not possible! Then where is she…" Thought Felio.

"Its not the time, to talk about this" Said Demeter.

She took a deep breath while the scythe disappear from her hand.

Then she turned towards Lucio.

"Don't think that this is over, I said I wont kill you, however, I never said that I will let you off" Said Demeter.

"You. You heard him! If you do anything to me, my father wont let you off! You and that idiotic prince will suffer the conse-"

Before Lucio could finish talking, a huge punch arrive to his face.

*POOM*

And just like that, Lucio fainted out.

"So noisy!" Said Demeter.

Everyone didn't know whatever to laugh or cry, this was Lucio Pentagate! The sole sound of the word Pentagate could bring masses to their knees, yet, this goddess actually punched him on the face because he was too noisy!

"I DECLARE THE END OF THIS WAR!" Shouted Demeter.

......

It was midnight a figure was covered in bandages while resting on a bed, although she was all covered up, her beautiful figure could be distinguished, it was Artemis.

"Although she broke almost all of her bones, her soul wasn't injured" Said Demeter who was at her side.

Artemis was almost at the edge of dying, however, thanks to Demeter's power, she managed to save her, Although she can cure external injuries, she cant cure internal injuries, like soul's injuries.

"However, now that I am at my summer form, my healing power have decrease, so the process of healing while be longer, she will need to stay in bed at least for a month" Thought Demeter.

After looking at Artemis for some time, she give her a slight kiss on her forehead and closed the door of the room. She passed a few rooms and enter the last room on the left side, this was Alfonso's room.

After entering Demeter looked at Alfonso, although the injuries of Alfonso weren't as bad as Artemis in the sense of bones reconstruction, his injures were more critical.

"His left eye is permanently lost, even I can't cure him, what's more, after losing the cane of Chronos the process of rooting of his leg has worsen, even if I cured him, it will only last for a couple of days before the rooting starts once again, at this rate, he will have to take that potion for all his life and, when it lose his effects then…" Demeter had a painful expression while looking at Alfonso.

"What is strange is that he hasn't wake up, not matter what I did, He doesn't wake up, I tried perceiving his soul with the Ying-Yang domain, however, something is blocking my vision, Alfonso, where are you?" Said Demeter while taking his hand.

Demeter closed her eyes and remembering the events of today.

"No matter what, I promise to wait for you"

Demeter kneel in on the floor while grabbing Alfonso's hand.

"Even if you never wake up, I will be there for you"

She put her forehead on Alfonso's hand.

"My lord"

......

"Eh?"

Alfonso was woken up by the announcement of the system.

"Where… where I am… ahh… fuck… it stills hurts" Said Alfonso while grabbing his left eye.

He slowly stood up and looked around, he saw sand and sand and more sand.

"Am I…am I in a dessert?" Thought Alfonso.

"Ho? You finally woke up, you know, I finally have someone to talk to and he is asleep, watching you sleep isn't that fun you know?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Alfonso.

"Who?" Alfonso turned around and saw a huge throne, sitting one that throne there was a 12 to 13 years old child sitting with his eyes closed, he only had one arm and one leg.

"Who are you?" Asked Alfonso.

The child smiled and pointed up.

When Alfonso looked up, he saw his broken cane floating above the child.

"Me? , I am the owner of this cane, little boy" Said the child.

"Well, how are my bastard kids doing these days?" Asked the child.
