BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - Shy
"I…" Demeter didn\'t know what to say.
Alfonso looked and chuckle a little.
"This girl is always so aggressive, but it seems that she also has her innocence side" Though Alfonso.
"How cute" Murmured Alfonso.
"Y-y-you, you are being mean!" Pouted Demeter.
"Oh? Did you hear me?"
"Hmph!"
"Haha" Laughed Alfonso.
"Acting so cool, it\'s not fair" Murmured Demeter.
"Did you say something?" Asked Alfonso.
"Nothing!" Said Demeter.
Alfonso looked at Demeter and smiled, he stood up from his throne and walked towards Demeter.
Demeter looked at Alfonso walking slowly with his cane on hand. Alfonso walked until he was a few centimeters away from Demeter, he smiled and lifted his hand, Demeter looked at Alfonso and knew what he wanted, she placed her hand on Alfonso\'s hand.
"It seems that the Will of Chrono affected me more than what I originally though" Said Alfonso.
"Yeah, it has brought out your destructive emotions, such as fury and anger" Said Demeter.
"Although, I can\'t blame it all on Chrono" Said Alfonso.
"Why?"
"Because, as you say, it brought to the survive what I hide on the inside, which means, that deep down, I have a lot of fury on me" Said Alfonso.
"…" Demeter didn\'t say anything.
Alfonso caress Demeter\'s hand with a gentle and caring expression making the already red Demeter become even redder.
"W-w-w-well it\'s not strange for you to have some anger inside you, after all, when people insult you and humiliate you, you don\'t even react" Said Demeter.
"Well, I don\'t really care what people thing about me, as long as my beloved ones know me as what I am, I don\'t care if the world despite me" Said Alfonso.
"Be-beloved ones?"
"Of course, I am talking about you and Artemis" Said Alfonso.
"Hmph! What a player" Said Demeter.
"Haha, I won\'t defend myself" Said Alfonso.
"…" Demeter didn\'t say anything.
"However…" Alfonso grabbed the hand of Demeter and pulled her towards him.
Demeter wasn\'t prepared and her body moved forwards towards Alfonso.
"The fact that I fell in love with you is real" Said Alfonso with a serious face.
When she heard Alfonso, her eyes wetted a little, she put her arms around Alfonso\'s neck.
"Idiot, making my heart beat this heart twice in a day" Said Demeter.
"It-it wasn\'t my intenti-"
Before Alfonso could finish, Demeter put a finger on his lips.
"Sometimes,you talk too much" Said Demeter.
She went forward and put her lips on Alfonso\'s, Alfonso felt the sweetness of Demeter\'s lips and his heart suddenly felt relieved, he embraced her and closed his eyes. Feeling the time stop, both enjoyed every second of the kiss, funny enough, Alfonso didn\'t feel any lust unlike the situation with Gaia, if he could describe what he was feeling now was… happiness.
"Mmm… Hey, Demeter that\'s enou- Mmm!?"
However, to Alfonso\'s surprise, Demeter was very aggressive, she pushed her tongue inside Alfonso\'s mouth and passionately kissed him.
"Mmm… Sto- Mmm…"
Alfonso hugged her harder and answered her passionate kiss. They stood like this for some minutes, until…
Alfonso\'s hand went down from Demeter\'s back until it he reached the part below her hips and then, with some strength…
"Kya!"
"I said stop already"
"You didn\'t have to pinch me!"
"If I didn\'t, I am afraid that you will have eat me right here, I must get virgin to marriage"
"…" Demeter was speechless.
.....................…..
Of course, that last part was only a joke, however, Alfonso didn\'t want to cross that line with neither Demeter or Artemis, not now at least, as for the reason, even Alfonso didn\'t know it himself.
After some time apologizing and dogging the subject, Demeter finally left, she said that since she had anything to do, she will be going towards Dionisius\'s bar, she invited him to go with her, however, Alfonso didn\'t like alcohol too much, plus, he had some things to do, so he declined.
"My lord, I came back" A voice interrupted Alfonso\'s thoughts
"Io, you sure are getting better and better, this time, I didn\'t notice that you were already behind me" Said Alfonso with a smile.
"Io\'s always at my lord\'s back, protecting is my duty and my honor" Said Io.
"Thanks for that, you don\'t know how much pressure you take from my mind knowing that you are there" Said Alfonso.
"…" Io didn\'t say anything, however, her cheeks become a little red.
"Anyway, let\'s go back to business, did you allocate our guesses?"
"Yes, Ribeiro already set two houses for them to live" Said Io.
"Good, how are the injuries of Alister?"
"He isn\'t severely injured; however, he seems to have received quite the shock" Answered Io.
"As long as he doesn\'t die, I don\'t care if he became a retard" Said Alfonso.
"My lord, it seems that you are really upset, aren\'t you?"
"I guess, in fact, isn\'t just him, is everything I have to deal with, stress accumulates and finally, he was the last drop of water, so I kinda of exploded back there" Said Alfonso.
"My lord should try to relax; you aren\'t sleeping that well either" Said Io.
"I appreciate the thoughts, however, right now at least, I have to give my best and make it to somehow, it\'s exactly like went I was writing my thesis" Said Alfonso.
"Excuse me my ignorance, my lord, but, what\'s a thesis?"
"Let\'s just say that it\'s a project that you prepare for five years" Said Alfonso.
"Oh!"
Alfonso nodded and began his daily activities, which were basically read the reports of the ministers and approved or disapproved some measures that they wanted to talk, apart from that, he had to supervise the routine that Ceaser and Deferio give him and the inform in which included the rations that they demanded from he, aka the government. Although Ribeiro already took some of the work, the majority of the work was handled by him.
Alfonso lost track of time and finally, he was exhausted. He stretched his arms and stood up from his chair. He looked outside and saw that it was already the sunset.
"It\'s already this late?" Murmured Alfonso.
"My lord has been working for six hours in a row" Said Io.
"Oh, oh, I see"
"I brought you your lunch" Said Io.
Alfonso looked up and saw that two plates was already server in his desk.
"You should be hungry, why didn\'t you eat?"
"As your servant, I can\'t eat while my lord is working" Said Io.
"This girl… listen, the next time, just eat by yourself okay?"
"If my lord promises me that he will eat at his hours, then, I can promise that I won\'t skip lunch" Said Io.
"You are learning bad things from your master" Said Alfonso.
"…" Io didn\'t answer.
"Okay, okay, I got, let\'s eat then" Said Alfonso.
"As my lord wants"
Both grabbed their plates and began eating, after some time, Artemis joined then, she already had lunch, however, she sat to accompany them. The three of them talked for some time while eating and laughing.
While Alfonso and company were enjoying their leisure time, a group of five men were having a serious discussion in a house nearby.
"Sebastian, what do we do know?" Asked of the men.
