The Supreme Sovereign System - Chapter 403

It’s been a few days since Alfonso came back to Wasteland Valley.

As for why he didn’t go out immediately…

It was for two reasons basically.

“My lord!! The new citizens are not respecting the rules, please do something!”

“My lord!, the management on the food is a disaster, please do something!”

“My lord! , the cases of burglary has recently amounted, please do something!”

“My lord!”

“My lord!”

Alfonso didn’t know how many times he had heard the word ‘My lord’ in a single hour.

“I am sorry about that daddy since you were gone, I had to manage Wasteland Valley with Artemis… with did follow your plan… but as you can see…” Said Susana.

“No, you did an excellent job, I am sorry for giving you such responsibility without warning” Said Alfonso.

“No, if you trust me that much, I couldn’t be happier” Said Susana.

Alfonso had left things to Ribeiro and Susana, however, it seems that things were too chaotic and Artemis had to intervene.

“Where is Ribeiro by the way?” Asked Alfonso.

“He collapsed from stress a few days ago, he is resting for the time being” Said Susana.

“…”

Alfonso a small pray for poor Ribeiro before going back to business.

“Where are the golden sisters?”

“They collapse as well”

“But aren’t they machines?”

“I also thought so but…” Said Susana with an apologetic smile.

Alfonso looked at the literal, mountain of papers on his desk and scratched his head.

“Let’s do this” Said Alfonso.

He spent the next five days making all thee arrange for Wasteland Valley.

There were a lot of problems, however, the overall situation was good.

[The night of the fifth day]

Artemis walked towards Alfonso’s bedroom.

She stood at the door of the room where someone was waiting for her.

“Io”

“Master”

“Is he…”

“Yes, he is” Said Io.

Artemis sighed and made a sign towards Io.

Io nodded and disappeared.

Artemis opened the door and saw Alfonso looking at the two moons of with a cup of wine on his hand.

“I thought you didn’t drink” Said Artemis.

She closed the door and walked towards Alfonso.

Alfonso didn’t turn around.

When Artemis turned to the right, she saw that Demeter was still carefully sleeping on Alfonso’s bed.

“You know, sometimes I just think that, if I stay at her side, she might just wake up with her usual candid smile” Said Alfonso.

“Alfonso…”

“I know” Said Alfonso.

Artemis stood there for some time, Alfonso had been like this since he came to Wasteland Valley, he would drink in silence until he passes out.

“I am sorry” Said Alfonso.

“Why… are you apologizing?” Asked Artemis.

“For everything”

Alfonso took a long sip until his cup was empty.

Artemis sighed and walked towards him and took the cup of him.

“Demeter, my sister, hated people who constantly felt sorry for themselves”

She also grabbed the bottle of wine and throw it away.

“And I, Alfonso Lockheart’s woman, also hate them” Said Artemis.

Alfonso looked at Artemis and smiled awkwardly.

“Yeah…”

Alfonso’s eyes became teary.

“I… I just…”

Artemis came from behind and hugged him.

“It’s okay”

“I am here”

Alfonso grabbed the hand of Artemis and cried in silence.

……………………………………

After some time, Alfonso’s mood improved and he slowly stood up from the chair while grabbing his cane.

“You don’t need to use your cane anymore, do you?” Asked Artemis.

“Nothing escapes your eyes, indeed, I no longer need it” Said Alfonso.

Since he came from hell, Alfonso some changes in him.

The most notorious one was that he didn’t feel any pain in his leg anymore.

“Due to my improvement in the laws of time, my body has also healed, not totally, but there is a big improvement”

“The laws of time are dangerous” Said Artemis.

“I know, however, for me to safe Demeter, I will need to use them more and more” Said Alfonso.

“But I know you will safe me if I get things too far”

Artemis smiled.

“Of course”

“However…”

Alfonso slowly walked towards Artemis and hugged her.

“Wha…!”

“You call yourself my woman, I am super happy… ” Said Alfonso.

“No… I just… I…I” Said Artemis.

“When did you become so straightforward?”

Alfonso pushed Artemis towards himself while he whispered towards her ear.

“You are so cute”

Artemis felt a trembled on her body and she stopped struggling.

“Idiot…”

She hugged him back and rested her head on Alfonso’s shoulder.

“I missed you” Said Artemis in a mosquito voice.

Alfonso felt his own heartbeat accelerated.

“Wow, since when did Artemis become so… bold?” Though Alfonso.

“Ahem”

Suddenly, Alfonso and Artemis felt a sound from the door.

Alfonso turned and saw a woman in her thirties looking at him.

“You are…” Asked Alfonso.

“Mother!” Said Artemis with embarrassment.

“Mother?”

“We finally meet, Alfonso Lockheart”

“Ah, you are…” Though Alfonso.

Alfonso let go of Artemis and bowed in front of Hecate.

“It’s a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, my name is Alfonso Lockheart, the current lord of Wasteland Valley, I am very sorry for my impoliteness, goddess of the sorcery and magic, Hecate” Said Alfonso.

“Indeed you are quite impolite, however, due to the current circ.u.mstances, I forgive you” Said Hecate.

“So, I think that there are a few things that we have to discuss, right?” Added Hecate.

“What do you mean?” Asked Alfonso.

Hecate signaled at Artemis who was still a little red.

“Your relationship with my daughter” Said Hecate.

Alfonso turned towards Artemis and she hide her face with her hands.

“I maybe had mentioned that we were a couple…” Said Artemis with a slightly guilty voice.

Alfonso was a little surprised but then he smiled.

“Today was  a very sad day but you are making it one of the best days of my life”

He grabbed Artemis’s hand and turned towards Hecate.

“Let me reintroduce myself”

“my name is Alfonso Lockheart”

“I am currently going out with your daughter with the thought of marrying her in the future”

“It’s a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you”
