The supreme sovereign system

"Hygeia, we still need to stop at the place that the beautiful sister told us" Said the cute teenager with his big eyes.

Hygeia grabbed her face in embarrassment.

"I can't believe that you actually asked for her info…. However, what is even more unbelievable is that she actually gave it to you!" Said Hygeia.

"What can I say, I am adorable after all" Said Dionysius with a smug face.

"You are the worst" Said Hygeia.

"Anyhow, let's go there, we are just a few minutes away anyway" Said Dionysius.

Hygeia went with Dionysius until they got into a tavern.

When both got inside, a strong smell of alcohol entered in their noses.

"The smell of wine is really strong" Though Hygeia.

On the other hand, Dionysius 'eyes sparkle.

"Such a strong smell~! There is definitely good wine here!" Said Dionysius.

Hygeia looked at the surroundings and saw that all the tables were taken.

There were a lot of costumers, all kind of them.

Some of them had a rogue appearance and wild looks.

Some of them had a rich aura of them and looked with arrogance at other tables.

All in all, there was a potpourri of people.

"Welcome to Ylevria Tavern, my name is Rudolph, what can I do for you?" A man with big arms and a kind smile looked at Hygeia and Dionysius.

"Hello Mister, me and my friend came here recommended by the beautiful sister in the merchant's association, she said that you had the best wine on the north" Said Dionysius.

"Oh! My daughter recommended you? Now that is weird, hehe, come here little lad, beautiful lady, take a sit on the bar, I will serve you a sample of our wine here, on courtesy of course!" Said the man.

Hygeia and Dionysius took a sit and waited for some minutes.

The man brought took small jars of fragrant wine.

"This is the specialty of the house, Phoenix's wine, please enjoy" Said the man.

Dionysius smelled the wine and he made a surprised face.

"This wine…" Though Dionysius.

He grabbed the jar and examine it, he looked from left to right, up and down until he nodded with satisfaction, after that, he smelled the wine.

A fragrant and strong smell entered to his nose.

"This is a good wine!" Said Dionysius.

"But you haven't tried it yet" Said Hygeia.

"Good wine doesn't need to be tasted, just by the smell and the color, one can know if a wine is good or bad" Answered Dionysius.

"The lad knows his stuff!" Said the man with a smile.

Hygeia looked at her jar and pondered, she didn't drink that much and, on the past, she barely had for the very day food.

Wine was a luxury she couldn't afford.

She grabbed the jar and drank a small mouthful of the wine.

"Indeed, is a good wine" Said Hygeia.

Dionysius also took the jar, however, he drank all the jar in one go.

"Ha~ Its so good~" Said Dionysius with a satisfied smile.

"He,he, my wine has never lost to anyone" Said the man.

"Big man, give us two more jars!" Said Dionysius.

"A lad like you shouldn't drink too much" Said the man.

"He might look like that, however, he is a green old man on the inside" Said Hygeia.

The man looked at Hygeia and laughed for some time before going back and bringing more wine for them.

Like that, the two of them stayed in the tavern for some more hours.

Late that night, Dionysius grabbed the tipsy Hygeia out of the tavern.

"I told you that you shouldn't drink more, look at you now~" Said Hygeia with a silly smile.

"Big sister, you surely can't handle alcohol~" Said Dionysius with a smile.

Hygeia wanted to say more but she suddenly felt her head spinning.

"Lets go" Said Dionysius.

They walked for some time, before Dionysius stopped, at the distance he saw a group of men laughing and shouting.

Obviously, they were drunk.

"Uncle say that we should avoid trouble, let's go to the other side" Though Dionysius.

He took Hygeia and went to the other side of the road.

"HEY!"

A sound came from the group, however, Dionysius ignore it.

"I AM FUCKING TALKING TO YOU!" Another voice came from the group.

Dionysius turned around and saw the men walking to them.

"Oh, shit" Though Dionysius.

"What is it?" Asked Dionysius.

"HEY, I WAS FUCKING TO YOU, ARE YOU DEAF!?" Shouted one man.

"…" Dionysius didn't answer.

"LOOK LITTLE KID, I WONT MAKE THINGS HARD FOR YOU, LET THAT LADY TO US AND GO ON YOUR WAY" Said another man.

"My uncle told me to protect her thought" Said Dionysius.

"I AM TRYING TO SAFE ME THE TIME TO FUCKING BEATING YOU, HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE THINGS IN THE HARD WAY" Said a fat man with drool on his lips.

"Look, cliché drunk guys, how about we forget about this and just let me go on my way, I am in a great mood today, so I am asking you to-"

*Puh!*

Before Dionysius could finish, a punch went straight into his face.

"MAKING ME WASTE SO MUCH TIME, STUPID KID, GUYS! GRAB HER AND BEAT THIS RETARD" Shouted the leader.

"I had been some time since someone dare to touched me" Murmured Dionysius.

One man reached his hand trying to grab Hygeia.

However, before the man could even get close to Hygeia, another hand stopped him.

"Human, you sure have some guts, I will give you that"

The voice came from the teenager, however, I didn't sound like a fifteen something year old kid.

"W-wha-what are you-"

"…" Dionysius murmured something and both of them stayed quiet for some seconds before the man fall to the ground.

"Brother!" Shouted the leader.

One by one, the man kept falling apart after a few seconds of Dionysius touched them.

"S-s-stay away, stay away!" The leader shouted with all his might.

However, Dionysius didn't stop, he walked towards then and whispered.

"[Duel]"

The man felt something on his head.

"Ugh! What is happening?" Though the man.

His surroundings where in darkness.

However, a voice came straight into his mind.

"Welcome, new challenger, to the *****"

..........................................

"Hmm, what happened… *ouch* my head is killing me" Hygeia touched her head in pain.

"Hey, you waked up? Don't worry we are almost at the inn" Said a voice.

Hygeia notice that she was on the shoulders of someone, she looked down and saw that Dionysius was piggy backing her.

"I will never drink again" Said Hygeia.

"Ha,ha, everybody says that after a good drinking, don't worry, you would get used to it" Said Dionysius with a smile.

"Did anything happened while I was out?" Asked Hygeia.

"Nothing worth mention it" Said Dionysius.

Hygeia looked at the small back of Dionysius and notice some red stains on it.

"Hey, isn't this blood!?" Asked Hygeia.

"Not, is only a little bit of ketchup, I grabbed something on the way" Said Dionysius.

"What is ketchup?" Asked Hygeia.

"A sauce based on tomato" Said Dionysius.

"Oh! That sounds delicious"

"Let's ask uncle if he know how to make it"

Hygeia and Dionysius talked for some time before arriving at the inn.

"Okay, hoped down, let's go, we were out all night" Said Dionysius.

"Okay, however, before that, go to your room and change that shirt, make sure that nobody noticed it, if not, they are going to ask where did you get those stains of…'ketchup'" Said Hygeia with a smirk.

Dionysius only smiled and went up to his room, Hygeia also followed him and, went they entered, they notice that the only one on the room was Demeter.

"Wha- what happened?" Asked Dionysius.

"Where is everyone?" Asked Hygeia.

"I was waiting for you two, where is everyone else?" Asked Demeter.

"We just got here" Said Dionysius.

"And I just woke up, strange, I could understand that Aphrodite was making trouble as usual, however, Alfonso?" Said Demeter.

"What happened two those four" This question was in the trio's head.

However, they couldn't possible know the troubles that these four had caused in peringrer the day before.
