Alfonso read the information about Hephaestus with detail, he was surprised with his abilities.

"He is really strong, his fire abilities make him a huge treat on the battlefield, however, I never hear legends of him fighting" Said Alfonso while sitting on his throne.

"That's natural, Hephaestus don't like to fight, he is more or less a pacifist, he only likes to be in his workshop, well…. That and….. " Said Demeter who was at Alfonso's side.

"And that bitch" Said Artemis who was also in the hall.

"Don't call her a bitch, she is my wife after all" Said Hephaestus who was practicing with his hammer.

"Mortal, I am more or less aware of the situation, so I will coopereted, however, I must request that you give me a workshop fast, I don't feel comfortable here" Added Hephaestus.

"Don't worry, I send Ribeiro to prepare a house that you can use as a workshop, at least for now, fortunately, when the horde was about to attack, a lot of people left and leave their homes empty." Said Alfonso.

"That's great" Added Hephaestus before resuming his hammer practice.

Alfonso didn't say anything else, and they waited for Ribeiro, when he came in, little Pit was also with him, it has been three months since little Pit began his lessons, at first, Tailor could keep with the lessons, however, it was obvious that, the harder the lessons became, the less he could keep with the pace of Little Pit, so he stopped going to the lesson, so he didn't delay Little Pit progress, he focused 100 percent on his lessons, so he didn't that much of time anyway. Little Pit could now go to Alfonso's manor alone, hoewer, Alfonso send two wolves to escort Little Pit so he didn't meet any danger every night.

"My lord, I encounter Little Pit on the way, I have prepared the house that you requested." Said Ribeiro while bowing towards Alfonso.

"Good Job, Demeter go with Hephaestus to see the place, I will begin the lessons with Little Pit"

"Sure~ , don't begin the story time without me~, I want to know if Hamlet complete his revenge~" Said Demeter.

The history that Demeter was talking about was Hamlet from Shakespeare, Alfonso didn't think that the story time will be so popular, even Ribeiro came now and there to heard, is quite questionable that he tells this story to a 4-year-old child thought.

"I am running out of histories that's why.." Said Alfonso to himself.

After this, Alfonso began his lesson, while Demeter bring Hephaestus to his new home.

..........................................….

Cerberus was a nigh creature, although he usually stays with Alfonso, sometimes, he goes for a stroll. This night he was walking as usual when something caught his attention.

"Isn't that... Deferio I think?" Thought Cerberus.

Deferio was worried, right now, the number of soldiers he had at his dispotion was 50, compared to previous 15, it was a huge improvement, however, there was a problem.

"All of them are kids between 14 and 16 that don't have any kind of experience in battle" Thought Deferio.

Ever since the fight with the horde, the soldiers, or like his majesty like to called them, the Spartans, became instant heroes in Wasteland Valley, a lot of young men who passed the age of obligatory school chose to enter the Spartans, however, training this young men was difficult and Deferio knew that they wouldn't learn much without actual practice.

"However, where to find them….. I mean, I am glad that this kids doesn't have to fight with their lives on the line in the battlefield, however, we also need to be the force that can defend his majesty and this town…." Thought Deferio.

Deferio give the young men the training that his majesty give them back then, of course, he reduced the intensity so the new recruits could adapt before going to the actual training. While he was pondering, Cerberus approached.

"Hi there, it seems that you are worried about something Deferio."

"Oh, its lord Cerberus, I am glad to see you" Said Deferio with a salute.

Despite being enemies at first, Deferio and the soldiers knew that the wolves didn't do it for malice, they did what they did in order to survive, for that, Deferio had a lot of respect towards Cerberus, this also applied to Cerberus who saw with his own eyes how this 15 something army fought bravely in an impossible mission.

"So, what is it?" Asked Cerberus.

"Well, it like this.." Deferio explained his worries to Cerberus.

"I understand your point, in fact, Alfonso is a too naïve, he tries to improve the happy lives that everyone has now, but he doesn't see that, if someone were to actually attack we don't have the means to defend ourselves, he needs people to see the dark side of the world, work in it and grab his back if he falls " Said Cerberus.

"Of course" Said Deferio with resolution.

"You know…. I actually have the same worries about my wolves, so how about we make some arrangements, so they don't slack off" Said Cerberus.

"What do you mean?" Asked Deferio.

"Well, lets just say that the night season will be longer than usual " Said Cerberus with a sinister smile.
