[Tulip Town]

Madam Web was sitting next to her window while enjoying a cup of tea. Although the atmosphere was serene, she had an uneasy look in her face.

"Madam Web"

A shadow came from behind and spoke to her.

Madam web didn't turn.

"It's too soon" Said Madame Web.

"There was a change of plans, the attack will be tomorrow" Said the shadow.

"My people won't have time to arrive" Said Madam Web.

"The target has changed… the first target will be… Wasteland Valley!" Said the shadow.

Madam Web was stunned.

"Wasteland Valley? Why?" Asked Madame Web.

"You don't need to know that, what you need to do is just obey" Said the shadow.

Madam Web sighed.

"This is my first and last time betraying my home" Though Madame Web.

"I will do as prince Raul says" Said Madam Web.

"Good" Said the shadow.

Then, the shadow turned to leave.

"Flame" Said Madame Web.

The shadow stopped.

"Flame, are we doing the right thing?" Asked Madame Web.

"Of course not, however, since when have you care for what is right and wrong" Said Flame.

"Son…"

"DO NOT CALL ME SON!" Shouted Flame.

Madam Web wanted to say something but she couldn't say the words.

"You don't have the right to call me that" Said Flame.

With that, he disappeared from the room.

"…" Madam Web looked at the empty space and felt a pain on her chest.

"Husband…" Murmured Madam Web.

She grabbed her knees and cry in silence.

[The next day]

[Wasteland Valley]

Usually Cat one would stay by Alfonso's side during the night, however, now that he was gone, she had nothing to do at night, of course, she refused to stay by Dionisius's side at night.

She was sitting in a bench near the main plaza while looking at the two moons hanging in the sky.

At her side, a big wolf was looking at her

"Wuu~" White fang looked at the depressed Cat one.

Cat one looked at the big wolf who had this silly face that looked like a puppy and laughed a little.

"Sorry white fang, even though I was the one who called you, you have to deal with this depressing side of me" Said White fang.

White fang shook his head and put his big head on Cat one's lap.

Cat one caressed the head of White fang.

"Thank you" Said Cat one.

"It seems that you have a rough time, stupid disciple" A voice interrupted Cat one.

Cat one lifted her head and saw a beautiful yet cold face in front of her.

"Master?"

Artemis looked at Cat one for some seconds before sitting by her side.

She took out a small bottle of leather. Artemis took a small sip of the content.

The aroma of wine entered Cat one's nose.

"Want some?" Asked Artemis.

Cat one nodded, she took the bottle and drank a big sip of the wine.

Master and disciple stood there without talking while drinking the wine.

Finally, after the bottle was empty, Artemis was the first to talk

"I also miss him" She said.

Cat one was a little stunned, after all, it wasn't that often that her master revealed her feelings.

"Master, are you feeling lonely?" Asked Cat one.

"Lonely? Haha, I guess I am" Laughed Artemis.

She grabbed the empty bottle and looked up.

"He was the first person that I met when I came here"

"Although he is a man, he has this girl like appearance, in fact, the first time I saw him, I thought he was a girl" Said Artemis.

"Hahaha, I know right?" Said Io.

"He was the first person that saw me as a 'human', at first, I was upset because of that, however, now, I don't think that staying like this is too bad…"

"No… In fact…"

"I really like my current life" Said Artemis.

"…" Io didn't answer, however, inside, the words of Artemis resonated in her heart.

"Although he is a weakling, he always tries to get hurt so others don't, he is such an idiot" Said Artemis.

"Yeah, he is indeed an idiot" Said Io with a smile.

Artemis stood up and looked at Io.

The moonlight bathed Artemis while an unusual happy smile appeared on her face.

"But he is my idiot!" Said Artemis.

Io looked at his master and was stunned!

"So, master can laugh like that" Though Cat one.

"I am sorry to interrupt your cheeky chat, however, we have some things to discuss"

Artemis and Io looked back in astonishment.

They didn't feel the presence of anyone standing there!

"Mom?" Asked Artemis.

Standing behind Io, a mature woman with purple hair was standing.

"Daughter of mine, it seems that I really need to talk to that Alfonso guy, however, this isn't the time to talk about that" Said Hekate.

Artemis wasn't sure what his mother means, however, after a second, she turned to the south.

"Two… nor three thousand" Murmured Artemis.

"And they are not alone" Another voice came from the sides.

"Dionisius, Miss Aphrodite" Said Io.

"They have three champions on their side" Said Dionisius.

"How sure?" Asked Artemis.

"one hundred percent" Answered Aphrodite.

"Hephaestus has already called the Amazons and our soldiers, however, to face three thousand soldiers, we will need, at least two of us in the frontlines" Said Hecate.

"I will go with Hephaestus" Said Artemis.

"No, I am more suitable for a frontline attack than you are" Said Dionisius.

"However, I will need your disciple" He added.

Io took out a pair of daggers from her belt.

"Any time" She answered.

"How long?" Asked Artemis.

"The three thousand men will get here in three hours, we have to intercept them before they get here if we fight in plan land, we are as good as dead" Said Dionisius.

"Alright" Said Artemis.

"As for our three honored guesses…" Said Hekate.

Artemis looked at her mother and understood.

Aphrodite also looked at Hekate and nodded.

"The three of us shall stop them" Said Artemis.
