The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 8 - Performers



"So, it's finally that time of the year again.... How many of us will die this time.."

A muscular man with fur as his clothes was making a long sight after thinking about the future. Deferio was the captain of the guards in Wasteland valley, they were ex guards of differences battalion that decided to retire due to different things, they were all born in Wasteland Valley, so they didn't want to leave their town unprotected because the guards assigned by the empire retire after they lost the condition of city. All of them were past 40, so they couldn't be consider young anymore, however, they were diligent, they train all day despite the harsh environment in Wasteland Valley, after the last horde, they lost 50 of their men and the lord of the town, this was a huge impact to them, from them on, they train less and less, some of them even didn't want to train anymore, the only exception was Deferio, who train diligently every day. They heard the news that a new lord was coming to this town, so they were elated, after all, maybe this new lord could change the destiny of Wasteland Valley, however, their exciting gradually disappear after they knew that their new lord was the fifth prince, or rather, the former prince Alfonso Lockheart, when they knew that their lord was the failure who led 900 men to their deaths they knew there was no hope.

"No matter what, I am a protector of this town, I was born here and will die here…. However, I don't want to see this town died, not like this" Lamented Deferio.

"Captain, I know that you love this town, however, I am afraid there is no hope" said one of the soldiers that was lazing around

Actually, there was another reason why these soldiers didn't leave Wasteland valley, they didn't have another place to go, they didn't progress in their military career, so, after they pass the limit age for being a soldier, they didn't receive anything for their former battalions, so they went as they came, poor. This was ordinary, only people who stood out in battle, will have a place in the battalion even if they went unable to go to combat.

"I won't let this town died in my generation, as for the future… dead people can't do shit" said Deferio.

The other soldiers look at Defereio and make a sight, then they grab their swords and started their usual practice.

Just as Deferio was going to take a break, he saw a silhouette coming to them, when he saw again, he saw a blonde guy with purple eyes looking at them, he was firmly grabbing a cane with a calm smile. Next to this man, was a short man with short black hair and a white outfit, this short had cold eyes and white skin one could even say that he looked a little feminine. Deferio stop was he was doing and bow to this pair, to matter what, this person was their lord after all!

"Good morning, My lord Alfonso and sir" said Deferio

Just as he finishes his sentence he saw something weird, the prince was covering his mouth while looking at another direction, while the guy at his side was astonished, like he didn't believe what he has heard.

............…

Alfonso went to training field of the soldiers with Artemis, he was worried about her appearance, she had wings on her back after all, however the system easy his worries.

[Host doesn't have to worried, the only one who can see Artemis in her goddess form is host, to other people, she just a regular human] said the system.

This please Alfonso and went to the training camp, he was a little curious how other people saw Artemis, just as he was immersed in his thoughts, he had arrived at the camp, there, a muscular man with short hair and a scar on his face greet them.

"Good morning, my lord Alfonso and Sir" said Deferio

When Alfonso heard the word "Sir" he almost burst in laughter, so he had to cover his mouth a look to the other side just to make sure he didn't do it. She was Artemis, the "hate men" goddess, was confused for a "Sir"? If this wasn't hilarious as fuck them nothing was!

Artemis was shocked.

"I, this goddess, a "Sir"?" thought Artemis, she couldn't believe her ears

"YOU!! INSOLENT HU-! , AHHH!, MY FEET!"

Just when Artemis was about to explode, Alfonso took his cane and stomp it in Artemis´s feet, then he made an awkward caught.

"Captain…., good morning to you too, let me present you, this is Artemis sh- I mean he is here to observe your training so as I, please don't mind us" said Alfonso with a calm smile.

Deferio was taken back, his lord was here to observe the training? This was unusual, why would he do that?

"Well, he was part of a battalion after all, maybe he wants to remember his time in the battalion" Thought Deferio

When the other soldiers here this, they only chuckle, they all have only one thought.

"This Lord of us truly have a lot of time in hands''

They didn't put much attention in Alfonso and Artemis and did their own training, everyone worked differently, after one-hour Alfonso suddenly called them. They all stropped and stood before Alfonso and Artemis.

Alfonso was just there observing them, he suddenly took his cane with both hands and stomp it hard on the ground, then he said something that make them speechless.

"Are you really soldiers? Or just performers?" Asked Alfonso with a cold voice.
