As the night got deeper, Felipe decided to walk home with his new servant, Charlotte. Felipe's house is just a few steps away from the Alabama market and the dark road was filled with silence. Charlotte is holding her knife digger in case someone tries to hurt her again. Whereas, Felipe was complacent and leaned his head on his hands, which were raised behind his back. There were no other warriors passing by, and he could see the fear and dread for safety on Charlotte's face.
"Trust me, no one will hurt you especially when I'm here by your side. I'm still good and can keep up with the young warriors despite my age," Felipe said complacently. After a while, they arrived at the wooden house surrounded by broad-leaved trees.
"I live in this tacky old house alone so pardon me for the mess. I didn't even think about having it repaired. It would cost me too much if I had it fixed. Besides, I'm too old, so dying in this old house isn't that bad," Felipe opened the door knob of his house and let Charlotte in first.
A thick layer of dust has built up on all the shelves. There are cobwebs in the corners. The drains are clogged with hair. There are smudges on the windows and mirrors. Alcohol bottles, cigarette filters, weapons, and armors were cluttered. Felipe scratched his head and apologized for the mess Charlotte found. "See, this is really the reason why I want to have a maid here in my house. I'm very busy with my job and I don't have time to clean up the mess in front of you?"
Since the entire dungeon Charlotte lived in was also messy, the cluttered things were no longer new to her. She picked up the bottles from the floor, and Felipe helped her put them in a corner.
"Sit down Charlotte," Felipe said after they picked up all the cluttered bottles on the floor.
Charlotte sat down so did Felipe.
"You have nothing else to do but follow my orders. You will be the only one left in this house when I left for work!"
"Is it that easy?" asked Charlotte.
"Yes, do you want to sleep? As I told you, there is another room here you can sleep in."
"I'm glad you talked about that. I am so tired and longing for a rest!"
Felipe stood up and led Charlotte to her small room. He locked the door and quickly removed his armor. Charlotte turned to him and saw that he was partially naked. Felipe pulled out his knight sword and pointed it at Charlotte. "Undress and do as I say, you whore!"
Charlotte breathed heavily as she didn't see it coming. "Why do you want to force me to undress? I thought you wanted to help me?"
Felipe yelled angrily. "Just shut your fucking mouth and do as I say, do you think I am doing this crap to help a slut like you? That is a dumb question!"
Charlotte took out her knife digger and held it with both hands. "I never expected it would be useful, come and get me if you want, old freak. I thought you were a kind creature but I was wrong. You took my heart so you could have me here in your tacky house!"
"Don't expect to get out of here unless you follow my wishes, Charlotte," Felipe warned as he dragged his feet to where Charlote was standing, his knight sword firmly in his grasp.
Charlotte retreated back. She knew that her knife was useless against his sword so she resorted to shouting in the hopes that someone will come and rescue her. "Somebody please helppppppp!"
Alexander heard her loud voice as he was sleeping on top of the tree above Felipe's house. He immediately leaped on Felipe's roof and made a hole using his celestial sword, then jumped inside the room. When Felipe saw his solemn expression, he immediately retreated.
"That was too close, ugly bastard warrior, you thought no one is going to rescue her? What a shame?"
"I have no business with you so get lost, amateur warrior!" Felipe said in a mocking way.
Alexander pointed his celestial sword at Felipe. "Leave her alone or I will cut off your head!"
Felipe sighed. "Who are you son of a bitch?"
"You have no right to know me, stay away from Charlotte!"
Charlotte ran to Alexander and hugged him. He returned his sword and hugged Charlotte's warm body. Then, he took the digger knife on her hand. "I am glad to arrive just in time, stay at my back and I'll take care of this old pervert!"
"Underestimating me, are we?" said Felipe. "That young beautiful warrior at your back is a prostitute, I told her to undress but she refused to do it even when I paid her two gold coins!"
Alexander turned around to face the scumbag who wants to take advantage of Charlotte. "Liar, I already met her earlier and I have been following her all the way here so I know she is not a prostitute!"
Felipe attacked Alexander with his knight sword. Alexander only used his knife digger and yet, he was able to injure Felipe's cheek and kick him in the stomach, causing him to retreat.
"You move so sluggishly, this digger knife I'm holding is more than enough to beat your ass!" Alexander boasted. "You still have a time to surrender, old fool!"
Felipe was triggered and was about to attack but Alexander threw his digger knife and hit Felipe in his chest who fell to the floor.
"No, why did you kill him Alexander?" Charlotte asked covering her mouth with her hand in shock. "The authorities will surely come after you!"
Alexander went down to check Felipe's pulse in his wrist and confirmed that he was dead. He pulled out his digger knife and went to the kitchen to wash the stained blood on the knife. Charlotte followed him.
"Why did you kill him Alexander?"
Alexander turned off the faucet and looked at Charlotte. "There is nothing to worry about, I can justify my actions to the warrior servants of the King. I am allowed to kill anyone I found guilty of crime, as Prince Arthur told me!"
Alexander threw the knife digger, which was immediately caught by Charlotte. "You're not really from here, are you? But you don't have to tell me the truth about your personality. If you want to have a job, come with me, because I have a quest with a 10 gold coin prize waiting for me once I succeed!"
"What is that quest?" asked Charlotte.
"Let's kill a sea monster named Hydra, many warriors have accepted the mission but they end up dead due to its terrifying powers!"
Charlotte immediately refused his offer. "I might not be useful to you, in fact I might just be a burden if I come with you on that quest!"
"Don't worry, I can handle the sea monster alone. I just need someone to watch and marvel at me!" bragged Alexander.
Charlotte's face reddened because of excitement. "Okay, but please let me do something to help you. I just can't swallow my pride and let you do all the work while I sit and watch you!"
"Fine, it's settled then. Let us get out of this place and go to the market. I'm gonna buy you a katana sword... that is a pre-requisite to all the warrioress of Alabama!"
"At this late night?"
"Yes, there is a morning shift and a night shift market. Usually the armor sellers are required to be open at all times as warriors and warrioress might need something from them. King Bartholomeo is prioritizing his warriors to avoid being incompetent during battle, security comes first!"
Charlotte joined Alexander and they went to Alabama Market again. There were almost no stores opened except for the armor supplies store they dropped by. The dark circles under the eyes of merchant warriors makes Charlotte realize that they have been working for extended hours. After Alexander bought a katana for Charlotte, they immediately walked into a vast forest and stopped when they reached the cave where Charlotte got dressed. She rolled her eyes but could not see the clothes she left behind.
"If you are looking for the dress you left, I already burned it! Alabamanian warriors know that kind of dress came from the Kingdom of Canopus. If they caught you wearing that dress, they might report you to King Bartholomeo who despises your kind so much!"
"Thank you so much for caring about me!"
"Nothing! Go to sleep and I'll watch over you!"
Alexander lay down and leaned his back against the wall. He was surprised when Charlotte lay on his lap until she fell asleep. The sun's rays hit Charlotte's eyes and she slowly opened her eyes to wake up. She got up and noticed that Alexander was not there. She was about to leave the cave when she saw a woman walking towards her. She squinted to have a clear vision of the woman but she could barely see her.
"How are you Charlotte?"
Charlotte recognized the voice of the being who called her name and smiled. "I haven't seen you in a while Star gazer Venus, I am doing just fine in this nation!"
Star gazer Venus used her magic to let Charlotte see her face. "Yes, it's me and I would like to ask if you are doing your mission?"
Charlotte attempts to hug Venus but her hands pass through her body. "What's going on? Why can't I touch your body, Star gazer?" she asked in wonder.
"It's just part of my projection, I can't use my full power because I'm also a captive of Abaddon who restrained all magicians with anti-magic chains, yet I am lucky enough that I have more stamina than the rest of their captives!"
Charlotte frowned. "What? Don't tell me that Abaddon has completely conquered my father's entire kingdom?"
"Indeed, when you left, I saw them still fighting. But Abaddon and his werewolf servants were so strong that King Solomon was easily defeated!"
"Where is my father? Is he with you now?" Charlotte said worriedly.
"They separated me from their other captives, I'm sorry but your father's body and face were full of bruises when I saw him earlier. The same thing happened to your sisters and mother!"
Charlotte nodded in sadness. "I'm useless, I didn't even do something to help save them!"
"Don't give up, Charlotte! Like I told you before, you need to see your fated zodiac sign because he will help to save your family and reclaim your kingdom from the hands of Abaddon!"
"B-but a zodiac warrior here in Alabama told me, they hate us so much. How can I convince them to help us with our problems?"
"You must make your fated man fall in love so you can convince him to help us!"
"Do you think Abaddon is planning to kill my family?"
"I can't say that thing yet but I can't rule out the possibility of that happening so you should complete your mission as soon as possible. What is the name of the zodiac warrior you mentioned earlier?"
"His name is Alexander and he is a great warrior with nice looks who saved me twice," said Charlotte as she was thrilled to tell his name.
"I see, don't keep your sight off of him and please be careful in this area. I heard a lot of rumors that there are many abusive warriors around here!"
"You don't have to worry, Alexander is always there to protect me, Star gazer!"
"I hope he is the fated man we've been looking for, so he can help us win against the werewolf tribe. By the way, I am almost out of power to maintain my projection. Don't worry, I will continue to guide you until you come to our kingdom again with your fated man!"
Star Gazer Venus's projection suddenly disappeared before Charlotte could speak. She came out of the cave and saw Alexander approaching with a basket in his hand. Charlotte was excited to meet Alexander and intercepts him."Where did you go, Alexander?"Alexander gave the basket to Charlotte. "These are breads I bought, eat them so you can have strength for our quest!"Charlotte felt that the bread was still warm and the aroma was very delicious."I went to the warriors of King Barholomeo and explained what happened yesterday night. They believed what I said and I found out that there are complaints about the old pervert who tried to take advantage of you!"Charlotte bowed again. "Sorry, I was gullible enough to trust and believe what Felipe said. Don't worry, because it won't happen again!""No problem, I watched over you the entire time yesterday because I knew your beautiful face would attract pervert warriors!"Alexander heard Charlotte's stomach growling and he grinned. "Go ahead
"It's good and you're awake," Alexander sat on the chair and caressed Charlotte's face. "You seem tired from the quest we did, I was naive to let you use your power to make our mission easy!"Charlotte mumbled as she's too weak to speak up. "It's not your fault, I also wanted to help you as much as I could. In fact, earlier was the first time I used my power to the fullest!""Didn't you have any exercises done when you were in your kingdom?"Charlotte nodded. "I haven't had any training since I've been locked inside a dungeon for eighteen years!"Alexander's voice rose slightly and he frowned. "That is fucking crazy. Is this serious? Why did they do that to you?""I can't figure out the reason either, but I would like to learn how to use a katana so I can be useful to you!""I like your fighting spirit, if you want we can train outside once you fully recover your strength!"Charlotte tried to raise her body but she feel ache even in the slightest move."Don't force yourself, Charlotte
Oshiro, Odin, and Bathazar followed but none of their attacks were strong enough to take down the golgozur dinosaur. The four of them gasped and Odin begged them to penetrate the mouth of the monster. Odysseus charged anyway and the dinosaur's tail knocked him unconscious on the forest."Odysseus is really a pull of pride, he doesn't let other warriors dictate his actions!" said Prince Arthur. "He is strong but it does not mean he can do all things on his own. Teamwork is a key to victory!" he further explained further.Oshiro Balthazar and Odin stood behind Odysseus to protect him."Let us enter its mouth and kill it from the inside out," Oshiro blurted out.The dragon spewed fire again but they used their zodiac shield to block the attack. They then entered its mouth and slashed its internal organs.Odysseus woke up and slowly stood up. "Did we defeat it?" he asked as he looked at the disappearing dinosaur."Yes, we manage to kill it, Odysseus!" Oshiro grinned."Congratulations seco
They were stopped by two warriors guiding the door with silver badges on their breast plate."Pardon us, Prince Arthur but your warriors are forbidden to enter the Kingdom as per the rule of King Bartholomeo!""And who are you," asked Prince Arthur."I am Gusion, one of the enchanted warriors of the King!" answered the warrior.Prince Arthur turned to the left side of the door where the other warrior guard was standing. "And you?""I am Belerick, also one of the enchanted warriors of the King!"Prince Arthur crossed his arms over his chest. "They are my visitors and I personally invited them over to come and eat dinner with my father!"Apologize your Majesty, I need to go to the King right now and ask his permission before letting them in!""Well then, just stay here and let me talk to my dad. Who knows if you exaggerate the story to make me look evil in the eyes of my father?""Your Majesty, I am in no place to do such a thing. I worked really hard just to be promoted to this positio
The night already got deeper when Alexander returned to the guild hall. Isabella was standing at her platform and answering some warriors mobbing her. She noticed Alexander coming in so she approached the wounded warrior who looks extremely tired. "What happened to you Alexander?" Isabella touched Alexander's face. "You are badly injured... let me get you some herbal medicine to-"Alexander put down the baskets he was carrying, removed her hand from his face and yelled in anger. "These are just minor injuries, I am training hard so what you see is just normal, fucking idiot!"An old warrior with a long mustache dragged his feet towards Alexander. "What's wrong with you, Jerk? Do you think you are above all of us? Just because you're one of the zodiac warriors does not mean you treat warrioress with rudeness, especially someone who is highly respected as Isabella!"Alexander has a mocking look on his face upon seeing the meddler warrior. "Get out of my sight, low-rank warrior, just min
Isabella couldn't handle her obsession with Alexander, so she undressed and walked in the middle of the river to seduce the zodiac warrior."Bathing is more fun if you are not alone," said Isabella. "I want to join you in taking a bath. I can scrub your back, and you can do whatever you want with me, especially since it's just the two of us in this warm river!"Alexander opened his eyes and was surprised to see Isabella naked in front of him. He saw her pinkish bo*bies and it made him horny. "W-what are you doing h-here? Did you just follow me, Isabella? Don't you see I'm taking a shower right now?" he asked."Of course I do!" Isabella wrapped her arms around his neck and suddenly cried. "I was so offended by what you said earlier and I am so jealous of Charlotte. Is there no hope for us to be together? I've wanted you for a long time and I don't want any other man but you. I didn't agree to be seduced by other men! Do you know that I promised myself that on my birthday, you could tak
Prince Arthur started dancing with Isabella, Alexander stormed off as he couldn't imagine that he had sex with another woman other than Charlotte whom he has a crush on. He went to the Black River alone and sat down on a tree that fell on the ground and stared dumbfounded. Suddenly the fog thickened in the area, making him disappear. He was pulled out from his thought when he felt someone approaching him. He stood up and he drew his sword. He rolled his eyes and sharpened his ears to listen to the sound of footsteps. "Show yourself, dumb-ass. You're barking on a wrong tree!"Someone jumped behind him and attacked him with a sword which he immediately blocked. He noticed the gold sword and recognized who attacked him."Prince Arthur, is that you?" asked Alexander."Your skill with the sword is really impressive, Alexander!" said Prince Arthur."Thank you very much for your praise Prince Arthur. What you said to me is imprinted in my mind!"Prince Arthur waved his tizona sword and the f
Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and awoke in the middle of the night on an island that was still a part of Alabama. She looks around and becomes agitated when she cannot find Alexander or the girl they rescued from the bandits. Venus's projection appeared in front of her once more, and she looked so disappointed."Star gazer Venus, I'm glad to see you again!" said Charlotte. "What happened? Why are you sad?""I asked for the stars to separate you from Alexander because he is not your fated man, Charlotte!" answered the Star gazer.Charlotte frowned. "What do you mean? Are you saying that Alexander is not mean for me?""Indeed, I want you to know that he kissed you on the lips while you were asleep and no meteor fell from the skies which means he is the the one we are searching for. I know it's hard to accept especially when you already have a feelings for the handsome zodiac warrior!""But how is our kingdom? How is my family? Are they still imprisoned? Can you tell me what is happen
In the Canopus, Zendaya and Olivia were kneeling down before King Abaddon who was standing in front of them. In the past three days, King Abaddon cast dark magic to them, thereby losing their consciousness and the only thing that they know is to follow orders from King Abaddon."Now is the time for both of you to show if you are worthy to become my Queens. Once Charlotte showed up, all you need to kill her using your dark magic. Of course, I want to spice up this epic battle that is why I am going to execute King Solomon and Queen Elizabeth in front of Charlotte and her fated man. In that way, they would hate and show their full power right off the bat!""Your Majesty, your wish is our command!" said Zendaya."Indeed, we will follow everything that you said because you are our King!" said Olivia. "We have personal grudge against Charlotte. It's no fair that she is more beautiful than the two of us so we will get rid of her once we fight!""Your Majesty, you have not given me any rules
Finally, the day has come for Prince Arthur and Charlotte, who are already prepared to face King Abaddon in the land of Canopus. In the Frozen Cave Stream, Charlotte was standing next to Prince Arthur who is currently talking about their plan before going to their most fierce fight against the werewolves."Heed on what I am saying," said Prince to all the 11 Zodiac warriors standing before him. "As you see, Alexander has no plan on going with the war and I am not forcing him to join us. I know this is the very first time that we will battle without him, after all he is considered the third strongest among all of you so I regret upsetting him!""Prince Arthur, please do not blame yourself for what happened," Serban, a cancer zodiac warrior said. "Alexander has always been like that, having a small patience once he does not get what he wants. As for now, there is no one who can replace his position!"Charlotte then speaks up. "You've got a wrong idea Serban, I am not going to stand arou
The Zodiac warriors, Prince Arthur and Charlotte were practicing on the frozen cave stream. Queen Veronica was staring at the window and she shared what is happening to King Bartholomeo."It seems they are having a serious training Bartholomeo. Only if you can see what I am seeing right now, you will be proud of how your son led his team!"King Bartholomeo sighed. "I don't give a damn about them. Do whatever they want, they are not worthy of my praise and attention!""I have a change of heart, I wanted Charlotte to become Prince Arthur's Queen in the near future. Aside from being so gorgeous, I think she will be supportive as well. I wonder how long is she staying in Alabama to be great at using her katana, something that I've never learned!""She obviously forced herself to learn how to use a katana simply because she wanted to protect herself. I think many warriors attempted to take advantage of her!""Then that only means our rules are not strong enough as there are many warriors w
Prince Arthur was very upset with the decision of his father. He dragged Charlotte's hand and left without saying goodbye to his parents."Arthur, just where do you think you're going?" asked Queen Veronica."Let him do what he wants," said King Bartholomeo. "If there is anyone who can defeat King Abaddon, that's only Arthur. Have you forgotten? He is carrying the weapon made solely to defeat anything we considered darkness? Let's have a faith in him. But it does not mean I'm not against his mission, there is no way I'm gonna forgive King Solomon with what he did to us... still, that Charlotte is a perfect Queen for Prince Arthur!"Meanwhile Prince Arthur summoned all of his Zodiac warriors in the frozen cave stream. Then Prince Arthur introduced Charlotte to them and they were shocked to see her. While Charlotte kept her eyes locked on Prince Arthur and she avoided looking at anyone else."Please I would like you to know that this beautiful warrioress beside me will be the next Queen
After their intimate sex, Charlotte rested on top of Prince Arthur who was hugging her tightly."Are you alright?" asked Prince Arthur."Of course. I enjoyed having sex with you, Arthur!""So do I. Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you. But still, I need to formally introduce to you my father. He needs to know my relationship with you!""I will be glad if you introduce me to your father, Prince Arthur!"Charlotte and Prince Arthur woke up and took their clothes. They went on King Bartholomeo's room and he is awake and beside him is Queen Veronica, having heart to heart talk to him. They were surprised to see Charlotte, especially King Bartholomeo who woke up upon seeing her."Such a goddess face, is she the one you wanted to be Queen, son?""Yes father," answered Prince Arthur. "Her name is Charlotte and we are here to discuss some personal matters. Can we come in?""Of course!" said Queen Veronica. "My hunch was right, you were not the one who arranged your messy room yesterday!
Prince Arthur clenched his fist in anger. "Dammit! All this time, I really thought you are the Queen I have been searching for. All these times, I could not believe you deceived me about who you really are. And not just me, you also fooled all the warriors and warrioresses you interact with within the Alabama!"Charlotte cried and kneeled down to Prince Arthur. "Do whatever you want to me... but please, there is no one who can save my family other than you. The stars in the skies destined you to become my fated man!""Charlotte listen to me, saving your kingdom from the hands of Abaddon will put this nation in great danger as well. My father would not allow me to deploy warriors just to save your family from the hands of King Solomon. He would gain nothing from that, besides I wanted to avoid fighting with the werewolves as of the moment. So no, I cannot grant your request. I don't want to be harsh but it's impossible mission!"Charlotte wiped her tears. "Is that so? Then I guess I ne
Stargazer Venus was guarded by the high-ranking werewolves and contrary to what she said earlier, she effortlessly traced Charlotte's presence in the frozen cave stream. And she was her practicing with Prince Arthur. In as much as she'd like to keep watching the beautiful scenery, her top priority at the moment is to inform her about what is going on with their kingdom. Again, she created projections of the werewolves to distract Prince Arthur."Wait Charlotte, I felt there were werewolves around this area!" said Prince Arthur. "Stay here while I'm finding them!""But I can fight as well, please let me help you!" said Charlotte. "I am tired of being the useless in the battlefield!""No Charlotte, these werewolves are totally on a different levels. I hate to say this but you are no match for them!""But what if they attack me here? I have no other choice but to protect myself!""Charlotte, please believe in me. I am the Prince of this nation and keeping you safe is one of my obligation
On the other hand, Elizer returned to Canopus empty handed. But he made sure he already prepared himself for any punishment that King Abaddon would give him."What happened to your mission?" asked King Abaddon to Elizer, he was seated on his throne with his arms crossed over his chest. "Make sure that it's something I expect you would say, otherwise you know what punishment I will inflict upon you!"Elizer, who was kneeling down on his knee spoke with a confident voice in order to perfect his lies. "Your Majesty, I tried going to the borders of Alabama. However, Prince Arthur, was the one guarding along with his Zodiac warriors and Amazonians. Honestly, I am too strong but beating them is impossible even for me. Especially, Prince Arthur's Tizona sword and his power to summon powerful ancient creatures!""No matter how you prepare to say those words, I still cannot accept that you failed in your mission, Elizer. Considering your rank as the second strongest werewolf, you decided to ab
Charlotte smiled at Prince Arthur. "Now, do you like the story?""I very much do! As a matter of fact, I could not believe how he outsmarted those bunch of morons. I've realized that you don't need to have powerful troops in order to win. What you truly need is to have a great leader who will bring the success in your nation!""Not only that," said Charlotte. "A king who acts arrogant and impulsive will never win a war. Hence, if you try to outnumber your enemy, it does not guarantee your victory as well!""Impressive... you're brilliant Charlotte!" said Prince Arthur in amazement."Well it was such a nice story, I did nothing except to narrate it!""No, you delivered it nicely and your opinion about this story is accurate. Anyhow, we can go to sleep now and we will tour the Alabama tomorrow morning!""Shouldn't your priority come first?""I am actually tired of doing this repetitive task. I also need to spend time for myself, and there is no other way to di it but to have a nice trip
