The supreme sovereign system 163 All efforsts have its rewards

"Come in!" Said Alfonso who was enjoying a little bit of his free time.

"Your Highness… you called me?" A woman's voice could be heard through the door.

"Hygiea, good timing, come, have a sit" Said Alfonso.

Hygeia entered the room and sat in front of Alfonso, even now, Hygiea was nervous in front of Alfonso, in the time she had been in Wasteland Valley, she had heard a lot of Alfonso, she didn't know about Alfonso's past, she only knew that people called him 'The stupid prince' or 'The fallen prince', at first, she was perplexed, after all, there was no way in hell that someone stupid could do all the thing that Alfonso do in his daily life, once, she heard Alfonso's teachings in mathematics, she was so impressed, she didn't know much about numbers, just the basics, sum, rest and multiplication, however, after listening to Alfonso, she got to one single conclusion.

"There is no fucking way this man is stupid if he is stupid, then ninety-nine percent of the population in Leitol are retards" Though Hygiea.

She also wasn't stupid, of course, she was really grateful to Alfonso, she felt that she owes him her life, however, she also couldn't stop thinking about this, if he isn't stupid, then, why did he act like one, and for more than twenty years.

"There must be a reason, he deceived even his own family, he got what he wanted, if he didn't, he would still act like an idiot… what did he get? Or more importantly… why spend all this effort? What is his agenda?"

All these thoughts flashed in Hygiea's mind, after thinking a lot about this matter, she came to a conclusion.

"If I want to survive, then, I must be on the good side of this man! No matter the cost!" Decided Hygiea.

That's why she was always so nervous when she saw Alfonso.

Of course, Alfonso had no way to know this, is he could, he would loud his ass off, after all, he wasn't an evil mastermind who wanted to conquer the earth or something stupid like that, and one more thing, he knew for a fact that the previous Alfonso wasn't an idiot either.

"Hygiea?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yes! I am sorry your highness!" Said Hygiea apologizing.

"Easy there, I only wanted to ask you a few questions, so, how are your studies doing? Any new progress?" Asked Alfonso.

"YES! As a matter of fact, a few days ago, I made some progress"

Hygiea had spent endless sleepless nights trying to come with something good, fortunately, a few days ago, she did make an advance.

Hygiea took a red potion that was in a small bottle.

"This juice is based on more than four fruits, the principal ingredients are strawberry and grapes, I was lucky enough to spot some when the Amazons came to Wasteland Valley, after begging a little to one Amazon she gave me a few, I called it 'Ambrosia'!" Said Hygiea with pride.

Alfonso grabbed the bottle and inspected it, he opened the bottle and felt a strong smell of strawberry.

"Indeed, strawberry and grapes in huge doses" Murmured Alfonso.

I was ashamed though, all the strawberries from the Amazon tribe were destroyed, only a few survived, however, Alfonso was curious, leaving aside the strawberries, where did they found the grapes?

"This is worth a little bit of investigation" Though Alfonso.

"Ambrosia… well, what this does?" Asked Alfonso.

"This Ambrosia is able to vitalize the body, it has a huge amount of nutrients that can replace a day worth of meal, in other words, if someone drinks this juice, it will be able to pass an entire day without eating and he or she wouldn't feel hunger! I am currently using it, since yesterday that I don't eat anything, however, I don't feel any hunger!" Said Hygiea.

Alfonso's heart beat faster after hearing Hygiea.

"Impossible… Let me try" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso took the Ambrosia and drank it.

After a few minutes, Alfonso felt the effects.

"Jesus, I felt that I ate three plates of meat! However, my body stills felt light! This is amazing!" Said Alfonso.

Hygiea made a sigh of relief after hearing Alfonso.

"So this means that, If I took this Ambrosia all day… I wouldn't need to eat!?" Asked Alfonso.

"No, the most you can use this Ambrosia in a row are three days, after that, your body will felt the recoil, after all, even if It had a lot of nutrients, is still not food, your body needs to have the special nutrients that only meat can give… sorry" Said Hygiea.

"What are you apologizing for, this is amazing, way beyond my expectations… tell me, how is the cost of making one of this?" Asked Alfonso.

"Making a row estimation… one gold coin for two bottles of Ambrosia" Said Hygiea.

"Two bottles for one gold coin… we can easily sell one bottle for five gold coins, even six if we pushed a little bit, a gain of more than three times the price of making it… Hygiea, well done, I am indeed lucky to have found you that day" Said Alfonso.

"It's the other way around, your highness! You believe in me, you gave me space, food and especially, you gave me your trust, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't repair your kindness!" Said Hygiea while bowing.

Alfonso smiled.

"You know, Hygiea, when I see people like you, who always put their one hundred percent in what they do, without taking shortcuts or trying to deceive others, makes me want to do more than what I do, you, and not only you, Taylor, Little Pit, Ribeiro… all of you makes me want to go further, so, I am quite happy right now, of course, this also means that my hopes in you have increased, I will give you more responsibilities, after all, you prove me what are you capable of, however, more responsibility means also more benefits, I will give you everything you need, also, I will award you with a monetary benefit, ten percent of the gains that we will gain with the Ambrosia will be yours, what's more, I will give your own personal carry boy to bring you the materials you need and help you in everything you need and finally, I will give you a free a week to lazy around all you want, you deserve a good rest, well done!" Said Alfonso.

All effort came with a reward, this was true in any time or world.

Alfonso was more than satisfying with Hygeia process, and, just by looking at the bags under her eyes, one could see that she really put an effort.

"I-I appreciate your highness words! I, Hygeia, promise that I won't fail you!" Said Hygiea while kneeling.

"I know you won't, which remains me, before you start your vacations, let's have the lesson of salt that I told you about, it's a huge project that you will be in charge of, so I need to give you the basics and the rest will be up to you, it's that okay?" Asked Alfonso.

"OF COURSE!" Said Hygeia.

Just like that, the two of them begin the lesson, Alfonso though whatever he knew while Hygiea listened and came to her own conclusions, the day passed in the blink of an eye and it was already dark outside when Hygiea went home to finally had a good night of sleep.

Just before called the day off, someone knocked on his door.
