A large number of people chatted with joy to each other, ate and drank while reporting from anecdotal stories to rumors that happened on a daily basis. This was an unusual scene for the Bareare restaurant, but at the same time digestible considering the last event that hit the city.

Faced with a particularly favorable situation for the business, it was not surprising that the young man who worked as a waiter had difficulties in fulfilling his obligations. This could be summarized in less time to rest.

-Arlhen, can you bring us a little more liquor? But make sure it's cheap, but my wife will be furious.

-You have not forgotten to attend to us, right?

-Baby you look very tired, are you sure you do not want to sit with us to drink?

Naturally, being customers who frequented the place was impossible that they did not know the identity of Arlhen. Thus, many took the opportunity to make some occasional jokes.

Of course, he did not have any discomfort with this kind of thing. He knew that a mixture of good intentions and little affection was hidden behind every word, so he always just smiled in response.

A third party could only describe the scene inside the restaurant as pacifica ...

However, good times are as ephemeral as the twilight of heaven. This good mood was interrupted when the doors were pushed with a brutal force, producing a fierce noise throughout the establishment.

The eyes of all those present came to rest on the person in charge, a man with a robust body who appeared to be in his forties.

This bronzed skinned figure soon advanced with an authority worthy of a bandit, shortly after he frowned as he surveyed his surroundings as if searching for something.

"Baby, I want you to call your parents," said the man with a sinister appearance as his gaze lingered on the boy.

- Sir, the doors are not for kicking at will. If you are so keen to hit things, I suggest you look for the authorities within the city, I am sure they will gladly accept your offer. - Although Arlhen could be considered as a kind person, this was only true for his closest acquaintances. If it was someone who was not only rude but also a spokesman for the Migurdia - who resented their small family - then they would not show respect. As soon as my parents, they are already very busy attending to people. I'm in charge of the animals.

-What did you say brat !?

- Why so much scandal? Oh, but if it's Orsted, what brings you here? Before the man could react, a voice full of sarcasm interrupted him.

The owner of these words was a woman in the first half of her thirties. Although it was an older woman, it had a slender figure that fit the description of beautiful, as well as a charming face that was accompanied by a long black hair that extended to his waist. As if that were not enough, as if these characteristics were not enough, beautiful clear brown eyes complemented the beautiful, making it fascinating.

She was none other than Lilia Bareare, Arlhen's mother.

-Good thing you came, otherwise I would have to give that rat a lesson. I'm surprised you were the one who raised a brat so spoiled.

- You mean my son? It is better not to put your nose where it does not concern you, my husband and I do not need anyone else to tell us how to educate our son. If that's all you have to say then I'll ask you to retire, today is a very busy day and I can not keep wasting time on insignificant issues, "Lilia commented sternly before she stopped paying any attention to Orsted.

-How could he come just for that? Although the anger burned intensely inside Orsted, he still forced himself to keep his composure. This was a facade that was soon to disappear. You know that I have been appointed as the new chief to guard these areas. Since I am someone who cares a lot for the safety of others, I thought maybe I should do a review of the commercial establishments, what better way to start than with this restaurant of yours. Then he revealed a frivolous smile. I came to ask you to fire your clients and vacate the place to carry out an inspection.

However, very different from the thoughts of the sinister man, the only thing he received in return was the look of someone seeing a stupid one. How could Lilia not know what she was up to?

- I appreciate your good intentions when worrying about us and our clients, but it is not necessary that you do it. My restaurant has enjoyed a good reputation since it started, that will not change from one day to the next, so I suggest you do your inspection tomorrow.

-I'm afraid I can not do that. A contemptuous laugh was launched by the Migurdia thug. The orders of an authority have to be fulfilled. No matter what you think, even if you postpone the inspection for tomorrow you would still be breaking the laws ... I guess you do not want that to happen, right?

-I have been quite clear with what I said, do you think that ridiculous threats can change that? Lilia waved her hands as if trying to get rid of the matter. Now you can retire, I still have a business to attend.

-Are you sure you can treat me like this? I'll be back with a troop of people to evict this place!

"I want to see how you try," a male voice said. But let me warn you that if your lackeys do not succeed, a couple of broken bones will be the least of your worries.

The man in question was in his thirties, although due to his healthy figure he barely appeared to be in his twenties. He had a graceful face, a large body and broad shoulders, and a characteristic look that radiated confidence.

This individual was nobody but Luslec Bareare - Arlhen's father - a person who enjoyed a wide reputation in the city during his youth. Not only was he the only Athame man to reach the final stage of the much-acclaimed selection competition, he was even considered the greatest prodigy of his generation.

Of course, someone of such caliber would not be attending a restaurant. However, after not showing up for the final battle that would decide the future champion of the region, his hitherto influential popularity collapsed on the floor.

Few knew that the real reason behind their decisions was Lilia's well-being. But, perhaps even if this secret were extended, those thoughts that many had about the "cowardly genius" would not change.

However, no matter how many spiteful titles adorned the name of Luslec, this would never change the present or the reality of the facts. Just as the skills of a figure that came to be recognized throughout the region would never be discussed.

-E-it's you. Orsted hesitated unconsciously as soon as he recognized the man in front of him. However, after remembering the powerful family behind him, his fear faded like fog on a sunny day. I see you are just as arrogant as ever. Your glories of the past will not save you from the Migurdia, or maybe you do not remember who left you in your current state?

While all the commotion was developing, the young Arlhen moved secretly taking advantage of the distraction of the public. With great enthusiasm, he began to stack several heavy objects behind the door.

"Of course I remember," Luslec answered in a monotone voice. Soon after, he approached with firm steps, releasing a sense of grandeur. But do not forget the high price paid by the Migurdia ... From being one of the most prominent families in the region to becoming a handful of refugee dogs in this city, do you really think I'm afraid of them? ... I think you're confusing who are the ones who really fear, why do you think they sent you here instead of coming to see me in person?

-N-do not say stupid things! An illustrious family would never fear a coward.

"A coward who murdered three of his four heirs, a coward who destroyed his most valuable property, a coward who exterminated his best men and stripped them of almost all their wealth. Do you mean that same coward? -That time it was Lilia who spoke with a triumphant smile.

- Get out of here, Orsted. If you really want to intimidate my wife and son, it will take more than a guy without manners.

"Do not be so conceited, Luslec," the wild-looking man replied, with no intention of continuing to argue. Clearly, Lilia's words had a strong deterrent effect on him. This time things have gone as you wanted because I came only But next time this will not end like this!

With a furious expression, Orsted turned and retreated with hasty steps, denoting how angry he was. However, as soon as he reached the door that separated the restaurant from the outside, a young voice was heard in the surroundings.

- Sir, Orsted. Please do not forget to kick the doors like when I entered, it would be a shame to further ruin your already bad reputation.

The annoying man looked slightly at Arlhen before giving a cold snort, continuing to push the lightly between open wooden door with both arms.

However, very different from what happened the first time, this time a rebound effect occurred. By the time Orsted realized this, it was too late. He was pushed back to the point of almost falling on his ass, causing the crowd to laugh outrageously.

In a blink, the savage individual looked at the boy with a seething murderous intent inside his eyes. But as soon as he saw Luslec with his arms folded behind Arlhen, this terrible fury was extinguished.

Finally the figure of the bully disappeared into the distance as he walked away from the restaurant.

Just after an outburst of joy covered the surroundings, the until then spectators cheered the withdrawal of the annoying individual. Being people who came to enjoy a good meal and spend time, how could I not be happy with the departure of such a troublemaker?

- Well done, boy.

"That guy was just a charlatan brute, did not even notice that Arlhen modified the doors," commented a diner while giving a loud laugh.

-Yes, you know how to brighten my day, boy. Do not you want me to introduce you to my daughter? Said another in a joking tone.

- What nonsense do you say? Why is not it time to get a husband for our daughter you get to work a good time? Replied a woman rebuking her husband.

-L- I'm sorry honey.

Another wave of laughter occurred while the guests returned to their typical gay chats. Thus, the previous lively atmosphere soon returned.

Lilia and Luslec smiled fondly at Arlhen before returning to their usual duties. Although they did not exchange any words, the eyes full of pride in their eyes were enough to express what they thought.

The problems with the Migurdia family originated more than fifteen years ago. By then, Lilia Bareare was visiting the city after countless meetings to learn how to lead her family.

However, excessive beauty is a gift that unprotected becomes a curse. When his feet touched the floors of Athame for the first time, he not only stole sighs from unmarried men but also attracted the attention of Auber - the youngest of the Migurdia heirs.

Being a person who glimpsed himself as a kind of king, Auber considered that only such a beautiful woman deserved to be by his side. In the blink of an eye, he used the powerful influence his family had at that time, moving heaven and earth to engage with the Bareare's daughter.

Although Lilia resisted such an idea at first, finally gave up at the constant insistence of his father. This was a reason for celebration for the two families, a party for all but Lilia.

However, a few months before the ceremony she met with the much-praised young promise of Athame. Their meeting could only be described as casual, but also different, extravagant, of those that one never forgets.

Luslec treated Lilia in a very different way to everything she remembered, there was no label in her words or actions, there was no fear or respect towards her identity. She received the same treatment as any ordinary person, not as the honorable daughter of the Bareare but simply as Lilia.

With a love that did not take long to blossom and a promise of marriage already made, Lilia found herself in the predicament of a damsel in distress. But finally she decided to stay by the side of the increasingly popular Luslec, abandoning her insistent father and running away from the established commitment.

Of course, things did not end there. The Migurdia's son, still unwilling to accept the tragic blow to his reputation, did not rest day and night in order to find the woman who humiliated him.

With such a powerful family being led by a capricious person, the whole region got confused by their daring actions. Households were entered without the consent of the owners, markets were ruined and anyone who conspired to hide Lilia was threatened with death.

However, the presumptuous Auber did not consider two details that would soon become his worst nightmare. The first was the terrible force possessed by Athame's prodigy at that time, underestimating the magnitude of the catastrophe that a single man could release. And the second ... was the little patience that Luslec had to continue holding his stupidities.

When the last drop of water surpassed the glass, a fierce war broke out against a single man as an opponent. The great experts of the region were reduced to a miserable state by Luslec, the great properties next to the patrimony of the Migurdia turned ashes. In a matter of a few days, one of the most prestigious families was ruined by the finalist of the selection competition.

However, the greatest prodigy that ever existed within the surrounding cities, had to pay a high price to unleash their fury against the Migurdia ...
