In Arcadia, there was jovial atmosphere on the air, after all, a new king was born!
About three days ago, prince Felipe, the youngest son of the former king Titio, Announcing that his father died an honorable death while fighting against Tulip town, at first, there was a memorial service to his highness Titio, funny enough, nobody was sad about the death of the former king, after all, he didn't do that much on his government, few people on the inside were actually happy, with the change of government there will be a possibility of ascension and now that a lot of important members died, the positions of power were there to be snatched.
The ceremony consisted in prince Felipe praying to the gods that his father lived in their glory, after the simple ceremony, King Felipe present her wife… the daughter of the Veritia family, Sana Veritia as the queen of Arcadia. The king announced three days of party and laziness to commemorate the brave heroes that fought and died in the battle against the army of Tulip.
In the main plaza near the manor, Felipe made a great stone wall were the put the name of every single soldier that fought in the battle of Tulip, after that he kneeled in from of the statue for one minute, after that he stood up and turned around, he saw the citizens watching at him with tear on their eyes.
"BROTHERS, I, THE KING FELIPE, ANNOUNCE THAT TULIP TOWN IS NOW PROPETY OF ARCADIA, THIS NOT ONLY MEANS NEW RESOURCES BUT ALSO MEANS THAT YOU WILL GET MORE JOBS AND BETTER PAYMENT! DON'T BE SAD BECAUSE OF YOUR LOSES, THIS IS A GREAT STEP FOR ARCADIA AS A WHOLE, THEY, THE HEROES, WILL BE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS, FOR THAT, I DECLARE THAT FROM TODAY UNTIL FRIDAY, THERE WILL BE FREE CANTEEN ON THE BAR, EVERYTHING PAY BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ME, KING FELIPE!" Shouted Felipe to all the 10000 habitants of Arcadia.
The habitants exploded while everyone shouted the name of Felipe!
"LONG LIVE KING FELIPE"
"LONG LIVE KING FELIPE"
"LONG LIVE KING FELIPE"
"LONG LIVE KING FELIPE"
"LONG LIVE KING FELIPE"
While everyone was celebrating, two shadows were watching everything, when the commotion ended, the two shadows hide. After confirming that nobody followed them, they took out their wardrobes.
"Told you that staying here was the smart choice" Said A small white puppy.
"You are making my work harder than it should be, master will be mad at me" Said a lovely girl with black hair while looking at the small puppy.
"Don't worry about it, however, something seems strange, they said the heroes of Arcadia right? It seems that while we were out something happen back at Tulip, it seems that Arcadia invaded Tulip, however, something smells bad here…" Said the small puppy.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this, went we past Tulip, I saw their army, they didn't have more than 1000 men, so, the question is, how did the army of Arcadia of 5000 something men pay such a heavy price to obtain Tulip, do you see the problem there?" Asked the puppy.
"But what does it have to do with us?" Asked the girl.
"A lot actually…" Said the puppy while looking up.
When the girl looked up, she saw a small blue bird floating above her head.
"Little blue? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be by his majesty side?" Asked the girl surprised.
"It seems that you have a lot to learn cat one, if this was Artemis, she would have notice, little blue since it got here 20 minutes ago" Said the puppy.
"Cerberus, I told you to call me Io here, not cat one" Said cat one.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Little Blue, what you said… its true?" Asked Cerberus while looking at Little Blue.
"Chirp! Chirp~, chirp!" Said Little Blue.
Cerberus stood quiet for some time, there was so worry on its face.
"What's the matter?" Asked cat one.
"Its seems that Alfonso and the others get involved on this war, Little blue told me that Felio, that old fellow, requested help from Alfonso, the night before the battle, Alfonso told Little blue to come to find us, in case went south, so we can escaped back to Wasteland Valley without passing through Tulip" Said Cerberus.
"Chirp!" Nodded Little Blue.
"Will they be okay?" Asked Cat one.
"I don't know… At the very last, they should be able to escape however…" Said Cerberus.
For some time, neither of them talked.
"Anyway, shouldn't we rush towards Tulip then?" Asked Cat one after some time.
"No, not yet" Said Cerberus.
"Why?"
"Its seems that my intuition were in the right place, little blue, you told me that Felio said something about his daughter right?"
"Chirp"
"Cat- Io, it seems that we have an important mission here as well" Said Cerberus.
"If I am not wrong then, the person we saw that day went we left Tulip was actually the princess of Tulip, princess Susana!" Said Cerberus.
"What?" Asked Cat one.
"Yeah, we need more information, but, if it turns out that what I say it's true then… we must rescue her and bring her back to Tulip!" Said Cerberus

That same day, at night, the streets of Arcadia were busier than usual, usually the nights of Arcadia were really quiet, it wasn't anything compare to the endless night on Tulip were the night life was their biggest commerce.
"Hey, did you hear? It seems that there is a ghost on the manor of the king!" Said one drunk man to one of his friends.
"Dude you are… like totally drunk, what are you talking about!"
"No, no I am serious, you see, I guard the manor at nights you know… and, one night, I was like patrolling you know? And then went I was almost by the king's room, I heard it you know! woman's voice you know!?" Said the drunk man.
"A woman's voice? Hehe, it shouldn't be his majesty "love voice" right?"
"No, no , you don't understand man, it wasn't like moaning or any of that shit you know? It was more like a crying you know, and you may not know this, but! The king is actually a flower boy you know?" Said the drunk man.
"Flower boy!? Hoy, hoy, man watch out, if you said things like that your head may roll you know?"
"Haha, its not a secret you know?"
"Haiss… such a shame having such beautiful and charming woman at his side and he… man what a tragedy indeed!"
The drunken man laughed for some time and talked about other random things, however, their conversation didn't escape of the hearing of Cat one, who was sitting on the bar, drinking a beer with her cloak covering her face.
"Gotcha" Said Cat one in a low voice while finishing her drink.
.............................................
Outside of the manor, two guards were watching at the beautiful moon while cursing their own bad luck.
"I can't believe that we have to guard while everyone else is having a party now man, what a luck!" Said one of them
"Nothing to do about it man, tomorrow we are free so lets reserve energy for tomorrow, I will go to celebrate with my wife!" Said the other man
"Tch.. you are lucky man, I also want to meet a beautiful woman like your wife" Said the other man.
"Well, its not always happiness, lately I am having some issues… you know… in that area" Said the man while looking at his private area.
"Hey man what happen?" Asked the other man.
The soldier was a little hesitating, he didn't know if he should tell or not, after some consideration, he talked.
"I… well… this is personal man, I am trusting you to not tell anyone, not even your future wife, got it!?" Said the man.
"Easy man, I promise"
"Well, okay its like this… actually, lately every time I want to do it with my wife… the face of… my mom pops up and ruin things, you know, down there" Said the soldier with some redness on his face.
The other soldier looked at him for some time, after that he laughed a little.
"Hey ma, you don't have to worry about that, It happens to me all the time you know?" Said the other man.
"Really?" Asked the man with some relieve on his face.
"Yeah, every time I have sex I always picture your mom, anyway I have to go to the bathroom" Said the man while going to the backyard.
"Well, that's a relieve since I am not the only one" Thought the man.
After some time.
"Wait a minute…" Thought the man.
"Excuse me"
Suddenly a voice cut his trains of thoughts. When he looked down, an old woman with a cane and closed eyes, beside her was a small white dog. The man felt at easy while looking at the woman.
"Madam, its late, at your condition you shouldn't be walking like this" Said the man with a smile on his face.
"Ho-ho, these old bones where coming back from a family reunion but I get a little tipsy and lost my way, do you mind telling me how do I get to the canteen? I lived near there" Said the old woman.
"Oh, of course you see, you just have to go this road and walked straight until you get near the old henry's shop, then you turn right and walk for two or three minutes-" Explained the soldier.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, young man, I will be going on my way now then" Said the old woman while turning back.
The soldier looked at the back of the old woman with some sadness.
"Poor woman, leaving her alone at her age" Thought the soldier.
However, after looking at her for some time, he notice something was amiss…
"Wait… where's the puppy?" Though the soldier.
