BXBX NOVEL Chapter 260 - Sebastian's Worries
In the third carriage, contrary to the other two where everyone was chatting carefree and happily, ha a lot of people with ugly faces, one of them was Sebastian, as for why, there were a couple of reasons; the first one…
"Hey, move your leg to the side!"
"Ouch! Who stomp me!?"
"Stop moving!"
"Enough! Shut up!" Shouted Sebastian.
Alfonso had arranged only one carriage for the ten soldiers, obviously Sebastian knew that this was on purpose, it seems that the lord of Wasteland Valley was a lot pettier than what the rumors said.
"I can't believe he actually send us in a carriage meant to be for 5 people at most!" Said one soldier.
"Alfonso Lockheart, I don't know the hell did he make those villagers of his believe in him so much, 'he is a kind lord who seeks justice', 'A magnanimous person', shit, If I heard someone call him like that I will puke!" Said another soldier.
"Well not every rumor about him was positive, remember, some people said that he was a ruthless overlord" Said Sebastian.
"At first, when does villagers said that he sewed the eyes of someone, I didn't believe it, I mean, how cruel a man could be to actually order someone do that, however… I saw him!" Said another soldier.
"You actually saw him!?" Asked Sebastian.
"Yeah, the last day we were in Wasteland Valley, I was at the bar and saw a man dressed in black sitting in a corner, I felt curious and went to say hi, went I saw him, I saw the threats on his mouth, fuck, I almost fell down, after a while, I learned that he was a regular on the bar, he uses a paper and pen to order" Said the soldier.
"Did he tell you something useful?" Asked one soldier.
"Well, we 'talked' for some time, he told me that, after the punishment, a soldier arranged a job for him in the ministry of education under miss Susana, although lord Alfonso wasn't in good terms with him, he appreciate his talents, that's why, he offered the job, he accepted without thinking, after all, after the tragedy, people evade him like he was the plague" Said the soldier.
"I heard that Wasteland Valley has a famous doctor who is actually able to cure some diseases, what was her name again?" Asked a soldier.
"Hygeia" Said Sebastian.
"That's right! Hygeia, if Wasteland Valley has such a famous doctor, why doesn't he go there to help him extract the threats?" Said another soldier.
"Idiot, of course those treats that he has are the left overs, if not, how could he eat?" Said the soldier.
"Ah? Then, why does he still have those threats?" Said another soldier.
"He told me that it was a reminder to him that people are trash, when you are good, they will be always there, however, went things go south, they give you their backs" Said the soldiers with a sight.
"He must hate Alfonso" Said Sebastian.
"I actually thought the same, however, he told me that he didn't" Said the soldier.
"He is that magnanimous to forgive someone that sewed his mouth?" Asked Sebastian.
The soldier made a wry smile.
"No, he told that he wasn't qualify to hate him, after all, he pissed his pants every time he thought of that creepy smile of his" Said the soldier.
The other soldiers looked at each other.
"I don't know… I mean, yes, he is a little bit temperamental, but… to actually have such a deeply sense of terror on him… I mean, he is not a monster!" Said another soldier.
"Correction, he IS a monster, or don't you remember what he did in his funeral?" Said one soldier.
"Please, don't tell me you actually believe those stories, I mean, look at him! He is a cripple, I admit that he has some powers but, I don't think is possible that he is able to make all those kings and champions kneel for him!" Said another soldier.
"Then tell me, why those important families haven't declared war against him after he offend them! What's more, why hasn't prince Fernando take action? With his influence, killing a little nobody was children play" Said the soldier.
"It's not that simple, don't forget that he has the protection of the Veritia house" Said Sebastian.
"Now that you mention it, it since that is the case, I wonder why though, how did he, a simple fallen prince, without anything in his possession, convinced the queen of winds to help him?" Pondered one soldier.
"I don't know, I have asked a lot of people and seeing the economic situation of Wasteland Valley, there is nothing in particular awesome in that village that could actually make the queen of winds offend half of the important families in Leitol just to save a little lord of the most unimportant village in Leitol" Said the soldier.
"Who knows, this Alfonso Lockheart since to be envelop in a big cloud of mysteries" Said one soldier.
Sebastian heard the commends of his fellow commanders and agree.
"Actually, I am very curious myself, why does this little prince have that can attract the attention not only of Allison by also the attention of that goddess as well?" Though Sebastian.
Actually, this was also one of the reasons why Sebastian had such an ugly face. Before departing, he wanted to find out, who this woman was that actually since to be the weakness of Alfonso, so, he asked around, however, the answers that he discover shocked him.
"You guys messed with miss Demeter? You are pretty lucky that the one who punish you in the end was Lord Alfonso!" Said one of the villagers.
"Eh? You actually offended miss Demeter; how come you are alive? You must be really tired of living, sho, sho , don't bring your misfortunate to my shop!" Said Zeti.
"I must say, big brother, to actually go and offend big sis Demeter, you sure are brave! However, I suggest that you go do your best to avoid her, if not, you won't even know how did you die!" Said Little pit.
Every village that he asked answered exactly the same, the phrase 'you are tired of living' and 'How come you are alive?' or 'You are lucky!' were repeated over and over again, he couldn't figure out what the hell was going on!
After some time, he finally found a maid looking girl, he recognized her immediately!
"It-It-It's that miss Anastasia!?" He though.
He went to great her, obviously with the best of his etiquette and asked her about miss Demeter, turned out that miss Anastasia was miss Demeter's apprentice!
"I always knew that Alister was an idiot, but to be THIS idiotic, I must say that I am quite impressed" Said Anastasia.
After asking some questions, finally, the answer that he wanted to know the most but feared the most was answered.
"Master is a proud person, even with me, her demeanor is impeccable, I think that people call her the ice queen, after all, she looks at everyone with icy eyes, the only people I know that she actually let loose are his highness and those farmers. Even then, the only one who I know that she allowed to touch her is his highness, once, there was this group of soldiers who were drunk and tried to touch her hand, the next day, his heads were deliver to the Spartans and the captain had to come in person to apologize while kneeling for an entire day, she told Deferio, that, on behalf of Alfonso and him, she won't pursue the matter, however, there won't be a second time, if she does something like that to people she knows, what do you think she will do with strangers? People said that you had luck this time that his highness took care of this matter, I couldn't agree more" Said Anastasia.
Sebastian was so scared that, when he arrived home, he wanted to kill Alister at any cost.
"Such a stupid retard! I told him, I told him that we shouldn't provoke people! Now, we must pray that woman won't do anything to us on behalf on Alfonso" though Sebastian.
Speaking of Alister, he turned around to look at Alister, who had been quiet all the trip, in fact, since his defeat, he has lied down quiet a bit. This was also one of Sebastian worries.
