Taylor sweat cold.

"Io, be good" Said Alfonso while looking at the reports.

"…Okay" Said Io.

Taylor stood there for some time before Io reveled herself, she was looking at him with a cold gaze.

"I- I will managed myself somehow" Said Taylor.

"Good work~" Said Alfonso.

Taylor retired and another one came in.

"Yo, Alfonso"

"Cerberus" Said Alfonso.

Cerberus jumped out and sat in Alfonso's lap.

"Alfonso, the wolves and the Romans have become quite united, some even mount them like it was something normal" Said Cerberus.

"That's something good… thinking about it, how come Cease isn't here yet?" Asked Alfonso.

"That guy? He is outside, he has been there since three hours ago" Said Cerberus.

"Three hours!?" Alfonso was surprised.

"Cease, are you there?" Shouted Alfonso.

"MY LORD!"

Cease make a salute and enter the room.

"Cease, how come you didn't came in?" Asked Alfonso.

"I WAS MAKING SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN WERE NOT SUSPICIUS, THE SAFETY OF MY LORD IS TOP PRIORITY!" Said Cease.

"I see…" Said Alfonso.

"Protecting his highness is my job" Said Io.

"You? Don think so, what a little girl like you do?" Said Cease.

"Wanna go again you big beard?" Said Io.

"Be my guess, little girl" Said Cease.

"If both of you have finish playing around, I want my report thank you" Said Alfonso.

""I AM SORRY, MY LORD""

About two months ago, Cease and Io meet each other like this, they duel a couple of times and become… friends?

Something like that… more or least…

"My lord, we have finished the training as you commanded and our numbers have double since last time" Said Cease.

"Good, compared to the Spartans, do you think you can performed just as well?" Asked Alfonso.

"Those guys? Come on your majesty, we are talking about we, the romans, the best army in all Leitol, how could we lose against those guys" Said Cease.

"Is good to have confidence, however, don't be arrogant" Said Alfonso.

"I am sorry, my lord" Said Cease.

"Don't worry, I just hope that I don't have to use neither the romans nor the Spartans" Said Alfonso.

"… I understand the feeling" Said Cease.

"Be on your way then, remember, don't pick a fight with the Spartans…. AGAIN" Said Alfonso.

"I… I will be on my way then" Said Cease.

He left and Io was the only one in the room besides Alfonso.

"Your highness, is about time for lunch" Said Io.

"Ugh, Already?" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso looked at the door with anxiousness, since a couple of months ago, his lunch was prepared by Yuri and was brought it…. By someone.

*Knock* *Knock*

The door was knocked and Alfonso, with a dry voice, said

"Come- come on in"

Entering the room was a maid with a plate on her hand, she looked beautiful with her long blonde hair tied up.

"H-hey, Anastasia" Said Alfonso.

"Don't push it, Alfonso" Said Anastasia with annoyance.

She gracefully walked towards Alfonso and put the beautiful dish in front of him.

However, things didn't end there.

She walked behind Alfonso and put him a handkerchief on his neck.

Then, she cut the meat in small pieces and served Alfonso a cup of water.

All of this with perfection, nothing to envy the maids in the Lockheart Castle.

The only thing that betrayed this perfection, was the annoyed face of Anastasia, she looked at Alfonso like his worst enemy.

"How come this is my fault?" Though Alfonso.

"Are you enjoying the view?" Asked Anastasia in anger.

"You can't blame for this, it was your master that put you in this outfit, it wasn't me" Said Alfonso.

"It all master fault! How come I, Anastasia Boltor, become a maid!" Shouted Anastasia with all her might.

"Its because you had to be responsible, and how is more responsible than the one who do all the things in a castle" Said a voice from the door,

Alfonso looked up and saw Demeter.

"Master!" Said Anastasia.

"I talked to Yuri, she says that the bathroom of his majesty isn't ready, why it isn't ready?" Asked Demeter.

"I REFUSE!" Shouted Anastasia.

"Ho?~ you refuse? Interesting~" Said Demeter.

"Oh, its been a while since I saw that face" Though Alfonso.

Anastasia looked at Demeter's face and s.h.i.+ver a little before nodding.

"I- I will be on my way" Said Anastasia.

"That's a shame, I thought we had a problem, a shame, it have a punishment that I am dying to probe" Said Demeter.

"I- I WILL BE ON MY WAY!" Shouted Anastasia, running away from the place.

"Demeter, don't traumatized the kid" Said Alfonso.

"I won't, she is stronger now" Said Demeter.

She walked towards Alfonso, who was eating, and hug him from behind.

"Are you enjoying the view of a young woman dressed as a maid~?" Asked Demeter.

"*Cough* *Cough*"

Alfonso almost choked.

"Don't joke around like that" Said Alfonso.

"You are answering the question"

"I don't, now, can I please eat?" Said Alfonso.

Demeter smiled and hugged him harder.

"This is my place, I want to stay here for a little longer" Said Demeter.

Alfonso sighed and continue eating.

To Alfonso, this was a normal day, he enjoyed this peace.

All in all, Wasteland Valley was making a huge change, everything was going smoothly.

However, poor Alfonso would be only be able to enjoy this normal life a couple of days more before trouble come knocking his door.

After all, the story would turn bore without troubles right?
