Alfonso made a small yawn while he woke up, he felt exceptionally great this morning, when he woke up, he stood up and notice that his s.h.i.+rt and pants were gone.

*Sniff*

Alfonso heard a strange noise coming from the side of his bed, he didn't have to turn around to know what that noise was.

"Hey, I told you this will turn out this way, what are you crying about?" Said Alfonso.

"Your highness I am sorry! I fell as..le…ep" Suddenly, the door open an a ashamed Cat one enter the room.

At first she was ashamed about falling asleep on this important task, however, she couldn't help it, she didn't had that much sleep on the way here so, when she relaxed, her mind hug Morpheus's arms way too fast. However, after entering the room, she was completely stunned.

Inside the room, Cat one saw seven beautiful women, completely naked, crying on her knees.

"Wh…at t..he… f.u.c.k?" Cat one couldn't think of anything.

*Sniff* *Sniff*

"What… what happen here?" Asked Cat one to Alfonso.

"Long story, however, we wouldn't be in this situation if you had done your job" Said Alfonso to Cat one.

"Ah…well…that's…"

"Where is Cerberus?" Asked Alfonso.

"Well…he is…" Said Cat one while taking a small look behind her.

"H..e…hey Alfonso, you couldn't… get angry with me… right?" Said Cerberus while using his secret ability, Cute eyes.

Alfonso looked them, and he made a small sigh.

"Anyway, n.o.body got hurt this time so lets said that this didn't happen" Said Alfonso.

""My lord~""

"WAIT A MINUTE!"

While both culprits were rejoicing that they didn't got any punishment, one of the girls stood up with indignation written all over her face.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "n.o.bODY GOT HURT"!? MY SELF-ESTEEM IS LITERALLY CRUSHED RIGHT NOW!" Said one of the girls.

"Yeah!"

"Sister is right, you have to take responsibility!"

"Sister is right, I feel less than an ant right now!"

"That's right! Take responsibility!"

""YEAH, WE GOT RIGHTS!""

The seven girls suddenly recover her spirits and demanded Alfonso to take responsibility.

"…" Alfonso was speechless.

"Alfonso, what did you do exactly?" Asked Cerberus.

"Well… you will have to ask the author to release the chapter, I can't say anything" Said Alfonso.

........................

After dealing with the girls, Alfonso put some clothes and went to visit Hephaestus.

"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Hephaestus for almost three months" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso arrived at a small cabin, when he went inside, he recognized a man sitting on a chair while drinking what it seems to be an orange juice.

"Hephaestus, long time no see" Said Alfonso.

"Oh, it's you mortal, yeah, it's been a while, how are my sisters?" Asked Hephaestus.

"They are fine, we returned from our trip a few weeks ago, how are you? Did you found what you were looking for?" Asked Alfonso.

"Well, not just yet, however, I have the feeling that there is something precious to me finding somewhere nearby" Said Hephaestus while looking at the direction of the tomb.

"I see… well, we can take some time to investigated this, have you heard about the incoming danger?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yeah, If I had at least forty percent of my powers, It will just a child's game to eradicated those pest, however, with my current powers, I don't think I will be able to deal with Drako" Said Hephaestus.

"I have a plan; however, I will have to make some arrangements before anything" Said Alfonso.

"Got it, I will also help, I have taken a liken to this village, I will like to protect it" Said Hephaestus.

"Because of the women?" Asked Alfonso with a sly smile.

"Not exactly, of course, I like to have s.e.x like everybody else but just because of that I wouldn't help, after all, my standards aren't that easy to meet" Said Hephaestus.

"Oh, then why you want to protect this village?" Asked Alfonso.

"… Why do you want to protect them?" Asked Hephaestus.

"Me? Because I can benefit for them and they can benefit for me, I am not that good of a person to fight a dangerous battle without a motive, it's a little cruel but that how is it, disappointed?" Asked Alfonso.

"Not at all, we, G.o.ds, aren't that different from you mortals, you think that Zeus created you humans without a motive? Hehe, he isn't that good of a guy either, I like humans that don't hide their intentions, I get sick every time I must go to the Olympus and see the façade of my brothers and sisters" Said Hephaestus.

"That's why you are always on your forge?" Asked Alfonso.

"Not exactly but it's a motive as well, it's in my nature to be in my forge to begin with, I am the G.o.d of metallurgy after all, however, I won't lie, I prefer to be alone, I don't trust neither people nor G.o.ds" Said Hephaestus.

Alfonso made a small smile and extended his hand.

"That's why you want to kill me?" Asked Alfonso while looking at Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was a little surprise but then he stood up and made a small yet cold smile.

Alfonso had felt the murderous intent of Hephaestus since a while ago, ever since he fight against Lucio, his battle instincts have begun to emerge once more, once more because he already had it, after all, the original Alfonso was a soldier, however, after Alfonso took this body, theses instincts enter in an hibernation state.

"You have the power of the old man, the power of Chronos, if that is not enough motive to kill you, then I don't know what it is" Said Hephaestus.

"If I tell you that I gain these powers by chance and I hate Chronos as much as you do, will you believe me?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yeah, I would, you don't seem like a person that likes to lie, for that, I respect you mortal, no, Alfonso, that's why, I will give you two options" Said Hephaestus while extending two fingers.

"What options?" Asked Alfonso.

"The first option is that you let me take that eye and destroyed it, then I will swear a pledge to protect you for the rest of your life... and the other option…" Said Hephaestus.

He took a step forward and looked at Alfonso straight into the eyes.

"I will kill you, right here, right now"
