BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 - You Dont Know
While Alfonso and company was having this small conversation in Wasteland Valley, hundreds of kilometers from there, one middle aged man was kneeling on the ground with a fearful expression.
The man was handsome with blond hair and a pair of beautiful purple eyes, funny enough, he was very much like Alfonso if he were older, but, how he couldn\'t?
After all, he was Alfonso\'s older brother and the current crown prince of Leitol, Fernando Lockheart.
However, contrary to his usual calm and serene expression, he was currently trembling with fear, as for the reason…
Because of the man in from of him.
The man was currently sitting
"Fernando, you know why I called you?" Said the man.
"Father… I… I know" Said Fernando with difficulty.
"Good, Then, tell me, why did I call you?" Said the emperor.
Fernando furrowed and, with sweating palms, he said
"Because of Alfonso"
"I ask you this, how is he alive?" Said the emperor.
"Father, I- I didn\'t know that-"
"ANSWER ME!"
Before Fernando could finish what he was saying, the emperor cut him and shouted with all his might, he didn\'t attack Fernando, however, the might of an emperor wasn\'t something that Fernando could deal with.
He felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, however, he knew that, if he make any sound of pain, his father will become even angrier.
He didn\'t have any other choice but to endure it in silence.
After some seconds that felt like years to Fernando, the pressure finally was gone.
"Answer, Fernando" Said the emperor once again.
Fernando knew that he didn\'t had another chance, so, he though for some time before answering.
He remember the day of the funeral, and an idea popped out.
"That…his followers! That\'s right! That girl and that young man, they must have helped him!" Answered Fernando.
"I see, that beautiful woman and that young man, good answer" Said the emperor.
Fernando breathed a sigh of relieve.
"Then, what are you planning to do?" Said the emperor.
"My lord, Alfonso currently have the support of the queen of winds and the thunder emperor, if we go against Alfonso, we will be declaring war to the north" Said Fernando.
"So? Since when did the Lockheart family has feared the north?" Said the emperor.
"My lord, if only were Allison and Karl, maybe we could force them to give up Alfonso, however, I heard recently a rumor that Invincible has also taking a fancy towards Alfonso, so, it wouldn\'t be wise to angered two of the dragon families, the loses wouldn\'t pay the gains, is only Alfonso after all" Said Fernando.
"Only Alfonso?" The emperor looked at Fernando.
"It seems that you don\'t get it, do you really think that I care about that cockroach? No, I don\'t care if he is alive or dead, however!"
*CRACK*
The throne began to produce some cracking noise while the atmosphere became heavier and heavier.
"THIS HUMILLITATION MUST BE PAID WITH BLOOD!"
"TO DARE CHALLENGE THE LOCKHEART FAMILY, HOW DARE HE!? NOBODY INSULTS THE LOCKHEART NAME, NOBODY INSULTS MY NAME!"
"I want him death! Fernando, I entrust this mission to you, I don\'t how are you going to do it, but I will give you three years to kill him!"
The emperor walked towards Fernando and grabbed him by his collar.
"I WILL HAVE THE HEAD OF A LOCKHEART ON MY TABLE IN THREE YEARS, BE ALFONSO\'S… OR YOURS!"
"GET OUT!"
"I-I understand, My lord"
The emperor let go of Fernando and when back to his throne.
Fernando stood up and let the place.
..........................................…
Outside of the palace, a maid was waiting for someone, she had been waiting for about three hours standing there, however, she didn\'t made any expression of boredom nor impatience.
Just as she was still waiting, she saw a figure walking towards the room.
"Prince Fernando, welcome bac-"
*POM*
Fernando didn\'t even hesitate and trow a punch towards the face of the maid.
"SHUT UP, YOU WHORE, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS CASTLE ONLY SERVE HIM! THAT SON OF A BITCH! FUCK"
"DON\'T LOOK DOWN ON ME!"
*POM* *POM* *POM*
Punch after punch Fernando hit the maid without hesitating.
Punch after punch, the face of the maid was almost deformed, and, after some minutes, Fernando finally calmed down.
The maid was bleeding all over, her eyes were black and some teeth had fall down, Fernando looked at her with a strange expression.
The maid, with difficulty, stood up and stretched her dress until the dust cleaned up and stood there, with her previous expression.
"We…l…com…e ba…c…k"
With her mouth trembling from the pain, the maid greeted Fernando and bowed, however, when she bowed she spat some blood.
"I…a…m… sorry…I…I…will…cle…clean it…up" Said the maid.
Fernando looked at her and he turned angrier and angrier.
"Go to Mr.Potters and let him heal you, tell him that I send you, and don\'t ever come again, send another one" Said Fernando.
He didn\'t wait for the maid answer and entered the room, the maid nodded and leave the hall.
Inside the room, Fernando strip up and looked himself at the mirror, he couldn\'t help but smile.
"Why I am so stupid, I am the most perfect being, I don\'t have anything to fear" Though Fernando.
However, while he was looking at the mirror, his image changed.
Little by little, the image changed into a younger version of him, however, this version had half black hair and was looking at him with a mocking expression.
"YOU ARE NOTHING" The image in the mirror told him.
Fernando looked at the image and gritted his teeth.
"ALFONSO!" Shouted Fernando.
"You think that you are some big shit? Even though you couldn\'t even catch a crippled young man with a cane" Said Alfonso with a smile on his face.
"YOU!"
"YOU ARE THE SHADOW OF FATHER, AND SOON ENOUGH, YOU WILL BE MY SHADOW" Said Alfonso.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"FUCK!"
*CRACK*
Fernando punched the mirror and this broke in thousands of pieces.
"Alfonso, I will make sure that you wish you were killed in that horde!" Shouted Fernando.
Suddenly, an image of Alfonso hugging a gorgeous girl popped on his head.
Fernando smiled.
"And I will begin with that girl of yours"
..........................................
The maid who was beaten up by Fernando walked towards the hall and stopped in from of a room.
She knocked up three times in a special rhyme.
"Come in" A voice came from inside the door.
The maid walked in and a young man was looking at the two moons with a cup of wine on his hand.
"It seems that he beat you quite heavily, black widow" Said the man with a smile.
"As usual I think, he has already done it, with Ana, Kate, Andrea and me" Said the girl while taking a piece of skin from her face.
She took out her wig and from her eyes, two pieces of glass fell down and reveled a pair of brown eyes.
"Aren\'t those all you? I already forgot how many identities you have" Said the man.
"It is relevant? I accomplish the mission and you paid me, that\'s all" Said Black widow.
The man chuckle.
"That\'s true… anyway, what have you figure up?" Said the man.
"It seems that our inside information is true, the south is currently suffering from the constant assault of the Greycastle army, they are using… strange tactics that has never seem before, all in all, the south is currently too busy to deal with Alfonso"
"How about the Terkins?"
"It seems that they are evaluating their possibilities, although, Noah Terkins seem to be pretty upset with The Boltors, things aren\'t going to be the same from now on"
"Of course they aren\'t, the balance of power already when chaotic went Alfonso showed himself in the funeral, however, this isn\'t so bad, after all" The man smiled and took a deep sip of his cup.
"CHAOS IS OUR SPECIALLITY" Said the man.
The woman didn\'t say anything and took out a piece of paper.
"One more thing, it seems that your brother is going to make Alfonso\'s life a living hell"
"I don\'t really care, Alfonso already make his part in helping me and I helped him as well, we are even, what happens now, it\'s not my business"
"So, do we need to keep our informant in Wasteland Valley?" Said the woman.
"Yeah, keep him there, it seems that Alfonso has some secrets and I want to know them" Said the man while taking two files from his drawer.
On the reports, the name of Artemis and Demeter. Below those reports another report stood up, the report had a familiar name.
\'oversoul: use and origins\'
The man smiled
"Alfonso, I know that you have more secrets in that little town of yours" Said the man.
From his forehead a number appeared, the number \'0\'.
"You are working for me and you don\'t even know it, you are such an adorable little brother" Said Raul.
"And for that, I promise that your death will be fast and painless"
