"Another round?" Said Dionisius.

"Kept them coming" Said Aphrodite.

"It\'s ten bottles already, kept going and you are going to empty my bar" Said Dionisius.

"Shut up, I am not in the mood" Said Aphrodite.

"You know that, it doesn\'t matter how much you drink, you won\'t get drunk, right?"

A voice interrupted Aphrodite\'s thought, she didn\'t need to turn around to know who was talking.

"Artemis, now that\'s weird, I though you weren\'t interested in alcohol" Said Dionisius.

"I am not" Said Artemis.

Dionisius smiled and server her a cup of wine with that, went on his way to attend the customers

"I am don\'t what do you want from me, however, you are wasting your time, I am not in the mood" Said Aphrodite.

"I don\'t remember coming for you though, I just wanted some wine" Said Artemis.

"Ja! Come on, Artemis, you like wine the same way marriage women like me" Said Aphrodite.

"…" Artemis didn\'t say anything.

*GULP*

Aphrodite empty her bottle and stood there for some seconds.

"That kid, how did you meet him?" Asked Artemis.

"…" Aphrodite stood there for some time without saying anything.

Artemis just waited in silence.

After a minute, Aphrodite finally opened her mouth.

"The first time I saw him was went I took a night stroll a couple of weeks ago" Said Aphrodite.

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

Aphrodite was walking in the middle of the snow when she saw a small silhouette sitting on the ground. The silhouette was trembling a little, it was obvious that he or she was cold.

"What an idiot, who will be outside with this weather" Though Aphrodite.

Went she come closer, the silhouette was finally reveled, to Aphrodite surprise.

It was a small shadow, a kid.

"A kid? What is a child doing here?" Though Aphrodite.

The kid was blowing his hands to warm them.

"It\'s freezing here" Though the kid

Suddenly, he heard steps coming towards him, he lifted up his head and saw a mummy, however, he wasn\'t scared, on the other hand, he was curious.

"Who are you?" Asked the boy.

"You aren\'t scared?" Answer Aphrodite.

"Not really" The kid turned around in the direction of the house and smiled bitterly.

Aphrodite notice this.

"Are you afraid of whatever is in your house?" Asked Aphrodite.

"No" Answered firmly the boy.

Aphrodite notice that the kid0s cheek was redder than usual.

"Someone hit him" Though Aphrodite.

"I am good, I don\'t need any help" Said the boy.

Aphrodite looked at the kid straight into his eyes, the kid didn\'t apart his gaze. With this, Aphrodite came to a conclusion.

"This kid isn\'t lying" Though Aphrodite.

"You don\'t need help?"

"No" Answer the boy.

"How about a friend?"

"Don\'t need them" Said the boy.

Aphrodite become silent for some time before saying

"… And"

"…How about a hero?"

 "Hero?" Asked the kid confused.

"Hehe, believed or not, I am the all mighty Aphrodite!  prettiest girl on this planet!"

"And also, the most powerful!"

The kid\'s dark eyes suddenly bright with innocent and excitement, just how a child\'s eyes should be.

"Big sister, you are amazing!" Shouted the kid.

"What is your name, kid?"

"I… I am Vitri!"

Aphrodite smiled, however, different from her usual smile, her smile was brighter and kinder than ever, of course, one could not see it.

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

"I see" Said Artemis.

She grabbed the cup and took the whole cup in one go.

"…" Aphrodite also too a deep sip of the wine and empty the bottle.

The two stood there without saying anything for some minutes.

"What should I do" Asked Aphrodite.

"That\'s for you to decide" Said Artemis.

"Only you can decide if what are you doing right or wrong, the consequences will for you to assume" Said Artemis.

Aphrodite listened to her and made a small smile.

"You don\'t change, do you? you are the worst at giving advise" Said Aphrodite.

"I didn\'t come here to advise you, I just wanted to drink a little bit" Said Artemis.

She stood up and turned around to leave.

"How was the drink?" Asked Aphrodite.

Artemis keep walking, and, without turning, said

"It was awful"

Like that, Artemis left the bar.

 Aphrodite stood there for some time with her empty bottle on her table.

"Thank you" She murmured.

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

*Munch* *Munch*

Inside Vitri\'s house, a certain fat woman was eating without a care in the world, she had a large warm coat and a bonfire near here.

"Really, adopting that kid was the best decision of my life, hahaha!" Shouted the woman.

"Auntie…"

"Ha!? What do you want!? I already gave you your share, right!?"

"But auntie, I am hungry-"

*SMACK*

The fat woman slapped Vitri\'s face with her huge hand.

"Ungrateful bastard, you only know how to eat, eat, and what about me!?  Ungrateful, definitely ungrateful, I save you from being homeless and this is how you paid me!?" Shouted the fat woman.

"I am sorry, auntie" Said Vitri.

"Hmph! For this insolence, you will give me your share of food tomorrow!" Shouted the woman.

"…Yes" Said Vitri.

"Get the hell out of my sight, I hate ungrateful bastards like you!" Shouted the woman.

"Yes" Said Vitri.

With that, he left the room.

"Ungrateful bastard" Murmured the fat woman.

"To me, it seems that you are the ungrateful bastard"

A voice, suddenly interrupted the fat woman\'s meal.

"WHO!?"

The fat woman jumped in place, went she notice, someone was sitting in front of her.

"M-m-my lord!?"

"Sit down" Said Alfonso.

"M-m-my lord, is a pleasure to-"

"Sit.Down" Alfonso interrupted the fat woman, and repeated himself, this time, with some coldness on his voice.

"As-as my lord orders" Said the fat woman.

She sat down opposite to Alfonso, who, without a care in the world, grabbed the plate of the fat woman and began to eat it himself.

The woman observer how Alfonso eat her food without saying anything, however, each second that passed, the woman become more and more nervous. At this moment, she remembers the scene of a few months ago went her lord ordered his soldiers to sew the mouth of that guy or the incident previous to that, went he cut the tongue of a thief, because these memories, she didn\'t dare to talk.

"I heard that you don\'t let your kid go to school" Said Alfonso.

"N-n-no, I wouldn\'t dare to disobey my lord!" Said the fat woman.

"I see" Said Alfonso.

He resumed his eating without saying anything more.

Ten minutes passed in silence while Alfonso eat without a care in the world, on the other hand, the fat woman was shivering like crazy, these ten minutes felt like ten years for her!

Alfonso finally finished his eating; he skillfully left the plate on one side and the fork on the other side.

He looked at the woman.

"So, not only you disobey my rules"

"But you also lie to me in the face" Said Alfonso with a chilly voice.
