Did we win?

When one think about it, the answer should be obvious, however, there were a few people who disagree.

"We didn't win, we just didn't lose" Said Alfonso when someone asked.

If history tell us something is that the history is written by the winners, however, Alfonso had a different opinion, he has lived in the past for almost all his life, and, if something could be learned was, that…

No matter the time…

No matter the epoch…

No matter the circ.u.mstances…

There wasn't a winner in a war, there was just a side that didn't lose.

War is as simple as that.

"However, there are always people trying to trigger it, maybe is our nature to seek our own destruction" Said Alfonso to Aina who was in front of him.

After the fight ended, she and Alfonso were the most wounded, especially Aina, who had lost her right arm, when Alfonso walk up after sleeping for two days, he and Aina started talking about life, like two good old friends.

"I think is the opposite, because there are wars, people are able to adapt and evolve, if you think about it, war is what makes people move and not remain still, fear is what moves people, is not good, but is reality" Said Aina.

"Ha, maybe you are right" Said Alfonso with a small smile.

He was drinking a juice that the amazons prepared for him, although most of the crops in the Amazon tribe died, some fruits survive, Alfonso recognized this small juice.

"Strawberry juice, my favorite" Said Alfonso while savoring the strawberry.

"Alfonso, I don't have enough words to said how grateful I am to you, I won't be able to paid this favor even if I gave my life to you, so, I will make you a proposal" Said Aina while looking at Alfonso.

"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"Let my people and I go back with you, we will serve you as our lord, I don't ask for much, I just want to have food and place to live for my people" Said Aina "My village is destroyed, if we stay here, we may be able to reconstruct it, however, it will take too long and it will require a lot of materials that we don't have, instead of that, I prefer to make a path to my sisters, so they can live happily"

Alfonso was a little surprised about this request from Aina.

"Disappointed that we ask for help? Hehe, maybe my sister is wallowing on her tomb if she knew that I asked a man to be our benefactor, if you want to think of me as a weak woman, I won't blame you" Said Aina.

Alfonso only smiled.

"What is the point saying a weak woman, men like to think that is their duty to protect woman and women think that they are meant to be protected, I don't think like that, I don't see you as a woman asking for pity" Said Alfonso while looking at her straight into the eyes.

"I see 'Aina', the most fearsome warrior I have ever met, requesting a hand from a friend" Said Alfonso.

Aina looked at Alfonso with a stunned expression before smiling with satisfaction and kneeling on the floor.

However, before she could kneel, Alfonso stopped her, he made a gesture and he extended his arm, Aina was a little perplexed, however, she copied Alfonso and both on their arms linked.

"In a place called j.a.pan, this was the way when two leaders made an alliance, this alliance shall never end, and we will never betray ourselves, you are now my 'sister', what do you say?" Asked Alfonso.

Ainai was a little surprised however, she made a resolute face.

"Shall never, my brother" Said Aina with a sweet smile.

"Hey, did you hear!? She called him brother, Ia~, Alfonso sure has b.a.l.l.s!"

"I know right!? Wait until Demeter heard about this, that would be quite the show!"

"Master will find this news interesting, I shall inform without delay, Cerberus and Hephaestus, you should be digging his highness's tomb"

"Hey, hey, what are the three of you talking about, AHH!, Sister is inside there with mister hero!"

"Shh! Antiope, they will heard us, but, yeah I think sister will for that kind of man, he looks a little bit younger, however, had a strong determination, his seed should be quite effective!"

"Hey, do you think that sister will share? I want to think a bite, look at that a.s.s, omg!"

Alfonso was surprised, and a little bit scared, about the voices outside, meanwhile, Aina was covering her face in embarra.s.sment.

"…" Alfonso didn't know what to say.

"I am sorry, I will make sure that they restrain" Said Aina.

"Ok…" Answered Alfonso bitterly.

Just like this, the Amazon became officially a part of Wasteland Valley.

However, Alfonso and company didn't know, that his actions the past few days had more consequences that they could ever imagine.

"Mother did you call me?" A beautiful blonde woman with a sword on her back was kneeling in front of a throne.

Sitting on the throne, a woman with white long hair and beautiful factions was sitting looking at her daughter.

"Anastasia, I remembered that I send you on a mission to Tulip town a couple of weeks ago, did you do everything I told you?" Said the woman.

"Yes, I bring out the youngest son of the Pentagate family, Lucio Pentagate, he is currently locked up in one of our cells, of course, we haven't touch even a single hair of his, brother Giovanni is currently in negotiations with the Pentagate family, hehe, it seems that they want to do this as secret as possible, they can't tolerate the humiliation of trading with the north" Said Anastasia.

"I already received a report of Giovanni about that, what I am asking you is, why didn't I receive the second task, the forces of Tulip and Arcadia had a huge conflict that involved champions, what I want to know is, why don't I have the full explanation of what happen? Where are the parties involved? Who else partic.i.p.ate in this battle? Where are the champions in question? Where is that information, don't tell me that the daughter of mine, Allison Veritia, can't handle something as easy as that?" Said Allison with coldness.

Anastasia felt a chill on her back.

"M-my queen, I-I-I saw that there was no time for that-"

"No time? I heard from your guards that you have plenty of time in the way home to spare with Lucio" Said Allison while standing up "Tell me, do you think I am an idiot?"

Anastasia felt the pression coming from Allison, she couldn't help but felt suffocated.

Even if she was a champion, in front the queen of winds, she was just an ant.

"Mother! PLEASE! Forget this irresponsible daughter of yo-"

*POM!*

Before Anastasia could end, she was sent flying to the wall.

"Anastasia"

Allison walked towards Anastasia.

"You are lazy, what? You think that because you are part of the Veritia family, you can do whatever the h.e.l.l you want? If isn't your brothers, is me who has to wipe your a.s.s every time you screw things up" Said Allison

"You are exactly like your father, thinking that you deserve everything while you don't do anything, you know what I like to call people like you?"

Anastasia looked at her mother, she had never seemed her so enraged in her entire life.

"I call them trash" Said Allison with coldness.

"I wont tolerate trash to be in my house, so pack up your things, you are no longer welcome in the Veritia family"

"MOTHER!" Shouted Anastasia while crying.

"This is a perfect opportunity, I will send you to work"

Allison grabbed Anastasia's collar.

"Don't ever think of coming back if you don't do the job right this time"
