The Supreme Sovereign System Chapter 207
Advertisement
While Alfonso was dealing with Aphrodite and the others, the acts of Chrono on the funeral had huge repercussion on Leitol. Alfonso was the talk in every house and, little by little, his name gain popularity once again.
Infamy, that's it.
Even more amusing was the fact that Alfonso gained himself a tittle, of course, it wasn't a good one.
Here was Dragon's bar, the most expensive bar in all Dragon City. Since ancient times, the bars and canteens have been used as a place to share important information in the form of gossiping. Leitol, of course, wasn't an exception.
In a small elegant table adorned with golden Dragons, two men were talking.
"Hey, you heard about it? The 'crippled madman' seeing to be allies with the Veritia's"
"Shhhh! Are you crazy!? Don't you know that the word 'crippled' its taboo!?" Said another man on his forties at his side.
"Oh, that's right, sorry, however, focus on the important subject! We are talking about the Veritia's! they have almost the same authority as the Boltor's, you know what that means!? That the five prince of Leitol, Alfonso Lockheart, has the back up of one of the Dragon families! This is huge! A new challenger will fight for the throne, I bet that his brothers and sisters wont be too happy about this" Said the young man.
"I don't know about that, he said that he wasn't interesting in the throne, don't you remember?" Said the middle aged man.
"Idiot, that's something that he said in his insanity, I bet that he wants us to think that he isn't sane so we let our guard down and then he can stab us from behind"
"…Now that you say it, It seems to be that way"
While the two men were discussing, one young man was quietly listening to their conversation.
"He isn't insane, big brother is a good man, why can't they see it?" Though the young man.
This young man was Andrea Gillian, young master of the Gillian family alongside his big brother; after the funeral was done, some families in Dragon city make things difficult for the Gillians, who had to back up in many businesses that they have with other houses, in fact, some of their properties have been invaded, in general, their situation wasn't that good, however, for Andrea, it wasn't the end of the world.
"Dad always taught us that honor and respect comes before money, however, when we do that, he says that we are imprudent and stupid… I don't get it" Taught Andrea.

When the father of they, the current head of the Gillian family, heard about what happened in the funeral, he wanted to kill both of his children, however, Asteous, pledge from his father that he was the only responsible and was server punished, leaving Andrea without punishment. However, to him, it wasn't something to celebrate, in fact, he felt that his family was too rotten.
"No, in fact, all of the nobles are rotten to their core, only big brother and big brother Al are good" Though Andrea. He stood there, glomming for some time before taking a huge sip of his beverage. Just as he was about to take another sip, one man and woman came into the bar, when they entered all of the people in the bar made way for them, when Andrea turned around, he was surprised to see the lord of the Underheavens and his daughter, Unstoppable.
"Father, when are we going back?" Asked Unstoppable while sitting on her chair.
"Soon, let me have a drink before going, it's going to be a long way before we get back to Mist city" Said Invincible.
"… Dad…"
"What is it?"
"About my marriage with the prince…"
"Its going to happen, no more questions, I have used some methods to get more info about his highness, he is covered in a mist of mystery, it seems that you will have to make a trip to Wasteland Valley"
"WHAT!? I HAVE TO GO THAT GODFORSAKEN PLACE?!?" Asked Unstoppable.
"Yep, you will go, in fact, you will go starting from tomorrow, I will send you with Gabriela" Said Invincible.
"DAD!"
*PUM*
Invincible punched the table hard enough to break it in two.
Unstoppable looked at her father and knew that he was serious, so she didn't say anything else and lowered her head.
"I know that you are hurt, however, I am doing this from your own good" Said Invincible.
"How come?" Asked Unstoppable.
"When Alfonso Lockheart was at my side, he murmured something, although it was quite low, I still heard it, he said 'a user of darkness, maybe she isn't so bad after all' you see the key problem in that phrase right?" Said Invincible.
Unstoppable was astonished when she heard this.
"No… itns not possible, nobody knows about that! How come he said something like that?" Murmured Unstoppable with some sweat on her forehead.
"That's why, you need to go to meet him, if he is able to tell that you are a user of darkness, then, maybe, he will be able to free you and the Underheavens family from that curse" Said Invincible.

Unstoppable hesitated for some time before nodding with unwillingness.
"I got it, father" Said Unstoppable.
However, before invincible could replied, they saw a young man, walking towards them.
"Hello, Sir Unstoppable and young lady Unstoppable, my name is Andrea, Andrea Gillian, it's a pleasure to meet you" Said Gillian while bowing.
"Young man, you want something from us?" Asked Invincible.
"Excuse my rudeness, but I happen to overheard part of your conversation, that's why, I have a proposal for you" Said Andrea.
"Oh? What is it, young lad?" Asked Invincible.
"Let me and my brother be part of your escort" Said Andrea with resolution.
Invincible looked at Andrea.
Andrea still had quite the fragile body, he looked just like a little girl with his long brown hair that reached his shoulders and his two beautiful eyes, and he also had white skin and dressed fashionably.
All in all, he didn't look like a warrior but more like a fragile young girl.
Not a soldier material.
However, Invincible knew something about this young man, or, to be more precise, he knew about his house and his famous sword art, the [Twin sword style]
"Andrea Gillian, although I know about your abilities as a swordsman, you don't meet the requirements for being my daughter's escort" Said Invincible.
"I know that, however, I won't be the only one, my brother will join too, our [Twin sword style] quadruples its effectiveness when we are together, fighting a champion won't be a problem" Said Andrea.
Invincible looked at Andre and thought for some time.
After some seconds, he asked.
"I assume that, what you are looking for, isn't exactly money" Said Invincible.
"That's correct"
"Then, what's your goal?" Asked Invincible.
Andrea took a deep breath and said with a firm voice.
"Let me go to Wasteland Valley, I have to meet Alfonso Lockheart!"
"NOT MATTER THE COST!"
..........................................….
Meanwhile, in a faraway land, a young man was reading a report that his subject had made for him.
The man was tall, he was on his early twenties, he had long black hair that was wrapped making a ponytail. He had blue deep eyes and a handsome appearance.
"Ja, I knew that he wouldn't be dead" Said the young man.
Then, he grabbed the report and tossed it to the bonfire on his side.
"What happened to Alfonso?" Asked the young man.
"After that, he escaped with his subjects with the help of the queen of winds" Said the subject.
"Ho? Has he made an alliance with the Veritia's? not bad, not bad at all" Said the young man with a smile.
He looked at his subject and said
"What about the plan?" Asked the young man.
The subject tensed a little and, with a shaky voice, he said
"The plan failed, Anastasia Boltor is still alive and Bernio died"
The young man looked at the subject for some time without saying anything.
The subject felt the seconds like years, the tension was killing him.
"It seems that we can't send a dog to do the job of a man, I will send my own subject then" Said the young man.
"My lord… you mean!?"
The young man stood from his throne and looked at the man in from of him
"Call ksitigarbha , and tell him to come to me, the time is crucial and I don't want any more errors" Said the young man.
"As my lord wishes" Said the man respectfully.
"And one more thing"
"Yes, my lord"
"Don't touch Alfonso Lockheart" Said the young man.
"…My lord… he is a prince from Leitol… it wouldn't be better-"
However, before the man could said anything else, a huge pressure make him kneel on the floor. He felt his bones crashing and his organs were about to burst.
"My…My lord… I was…. I was disrespectful, please… please… mer…cy"
The pressure suddenly lifted and the man regained his breathing.
The young man looked at the man and turned back to his throne; he sat down and closed his eyes, the man bowed one more time before leaving the room in silence.
The young man stood with his eyes closed for some time before taking out a small paper from his pocket.
In there, a paragraph that seemed to be written by children could be seeing, at the food of the paper a sentence stood out from the other ones.
"Alfonso Lockheart and Marvin Laplace, brothers forever"
The man looked at the paper and smiled a little, after that he kept the paper once again and sat on his throne with a cold face.
