BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223 - Two Sides
"You know, its quite the boring task to pull the carriage, don\'t you think so?" Said Artemis.
"I agree~ the tension gets in your shoulders and you always feel heavy" Said Demeter.
"I also agree master, pull the carriage its very tiresome" Said Cat one.
The three of them were talking ver loudly while looking at the front of the carriage, in there, a mummy was hearing their conversation while her eyes twitched.
Alfonso, who was looking by the sides, could only chuckle after hearing them.
"It can\'t be helped; this is your punishment for sneaking in" Said Alfonso.
"I, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, loved by thousands of people…. Reduced to be a wagon driver… kuuuu… how embarrassing!" Said Aphrodite.
When Alfonso discovered that Aphrodite and Dionysius, who, by the way, didn\'t make any effort in hiding to begin with, he told them to go back, however, the distance that they had traveled was too much and, if the carriage went back, it would be a waste, so, they decided that both could go along, however, Aphrodite had to pull the carriage to paid for her food.
"The three of you, stop teasing her" Said Alfonso.
The three nodded, however, after some minutes…
"You know, I feel sorry for the driver, shouldn\'t we change place at some point?" Said Demeter.
Aphrodite\' ears grow bigger.
"No, too bothersome, after all, Aphrodite is used to \'pull\' things out every time she had the chances, just let her" Said Artemis.
"A-R-T-E-M-I-S!" Said Aphrodite while clutching her teeth.
"This two…" Though Alfonso.
"Auntie, Uncle, how long do I have to be here?"
A voice came from the wagon.
Alfonso looked up and a head pooped up from the roof.
"Child, this is your punishment, that me and your uncle though, be a good boy for once and keep looking for danger" Demeter went to the front and said while looking at Dionysius.
"And I am not you uncle" Added Alfonso.
"Uncle, Aunty, both of you stink!" Said Dionysius and then went back to his spot.
"I made this child too spoiled" Said Demeter while sighed.
"just let his head cool down for some time, he will come to apologize later" Said Alfonso.
"How do you know?" Asked Aphrodite.
"Because he is a good kid" Said Alfonso.
Dionysius, who was listening to the conversation, only made a small smile and laid down.
Just like this, the group of Alfonso began their journey towards Peringrer in search for people that could retrieve the Tear\'s of Maria, it would take them exactly one month and some more days to get to Peringrer.
At the same time, another group was also arriving at Peringrer, however, this group had another agenda.
..........................................
[Peringrer Town]
Peringrer Town wasn\'t a big town, it was a quiet and good place to live, if anything, the only problem that they had was that it rained a lot, however, this could be taken as a good thing as well as a bad thing, for example, it was good for the people because they had a lot of water, however, it wasn\'t so good for the farmers, who had keep watching their crops.
"It\'s raining again, its five days in a row now"
An elegant woman with blue hair and a pair of beautiful green eyes said while looking at the sky.
"It can\'t be helped; we are in that time of the year" Said a young man at his side.
"How are you doing with your studies?" Asked the woman.
"So-so, now that the alarm for the dark ones has triggered, the schools have closed up and even the teachers were panicking" Said the young man.
"Son, you have to be more attentive in your studies, you don\'t want to end an alphabet like your mother right?" Said the woman.
"Mom, please, even if that were true, nobody will say that to you" The boy chuckle.
"Who would dare to said something like that to the champion of water, an elemental champion"
"Who are you learning to chuckle like that… it seems that little girl… what was her name again… Hilda…its teaching you bad things!" Said the woman.
"Mom, I already have fifteen, no woman can change me!" Said the young man.
The woman made a small sigh and grabbed the arm of his son.
"Dimitri, mom only wants you to finish your studies and become a good man with a good wife and kids, at that time, I will be able to finally rest" Said the woman.
"Mom, you talk like you already dying" Said Dimitri.
"You know why I am talking like this…" Said the woman while looking at her hand.
On her hand, there were some black protuberances.
Dimitri looked at the protuberances and made a pained expression.
"We are going to find the cure" Said Dimitri with determination.
"I already resigned to my fate, even now, they are still looking for us, it won\'t be long until they find us" Said the woman.
"Those trashes, they are only taking this chance to kill you so that arrogant son of a bitch can be the next champion!" Said Dimitri with fury.
"They planned this really well, they knew that the disease would awaken my powers, however, I didn\'t think that he would betray us like that…" Said the woman in sadness.
"Don\'t talk about that bastard, I can\'t believe I called him father for so long, and, after Leopold offered him the position of noble, he would sell you up and even infect you with a mortal disease! I can believe that I have my blood on my veins!" Said Dimitri.
"…" The woman stayed in silence.
"Don\'t worry mom, your powers are restraining the disease, as long as you don\'t use your powers, the disease will not spread, until then, we just need to hide" Said Dimitri.
"Dimitri, if by any chance they find us, I want you to-"
"DON\'T!"
Before the woman could finish, Dimitri interrupted her.
"Son…"
"Just don\'t, don\'t say it, I won\'t leave you, not even if it means that I have to die!" Said Dimitri.
The woman\'s eyes teared a little, she leaned her body on Dimitri\'s arm.
"To have such a wonderful son, I, Mirana Waterfall, have no regret in this world" Said Mirana.
Dimitri looked at her mother, who had always being so imponent with the aura of a champion, so fragile and thin, his heart broke and he felt like crying any time soon.
However, he didn\'t do it.
"It isn\'t the time to cry, first I need to find the cure for mom" Though Dimitri.
"And, after that…"
The figure of a man came onto his mind.
"I will make you beg me for death"
"FATHER!"
Though Dimitri with flames of wrath on his heart.
The pair of mother and son looked at the gloomy scenario in Peringrer town and pondered what the future would depart for them.
..........................................…
"Are you sure that they went to Peringrer?" Said a tanned man.
"I am pretty sure! My useless son and that stupid bitch used to live in Peringrer, I am pretty sure that they are hiding there!" Said a man with an imposing tone.
"Mr. Ron, you should know the consequences for you and us, if we fail the mission, right?" Said the tanned man.
"Just tell young master Leopold that he just has honor his part of the deal, and I will deliver her to him" Said Ron.
"…Got it, then, we will arrive to Peringrer in two weeks, be prepared, although she is weakened, she is still a champion, an elemental one, there is no room for mistakes, everyone got that?" Said the tanned man.
""Yes, sir!"" A group of five man that was behind Ron nodded.
"Falcon, are you sure that your group of five can take her down?" Asked Ron.
"If this was a normal case, we won\'t be able to take a champion down, even less an elemental one, however…" Falcon looked at the back and smiled.
One of the five men, who were covered in a thick cloth, walked to the front and kneeled.
"We also have our own secret trick" Said Falcon.
Like this, the group took three carriages and advance towards Peringrer.
