After receiving the information from Deferio, Alfonso went to Tailor 's house. He went alone this time, although he took more time than he would have taken if someone went with him, however, he wanted to, maybe is because he wanted to prove something, just as he was half the way to Tailor's house, someone was waiting for him, it was little blue. He didn't know why, but this little fellow has taking a liking towards him. He was surprised, however, he smiled kindly, and then he nodded, little blue chirp happily and sat on Alfonso's head, little blue was, more or less, at the size of a small pigeon, so it wasn't so heavy.
"Was wrong little fellow? Are you cold?" Said Alfonso.
"Chirp~" Said little blue.
Alfonso just laugh and resume his way to Tailor's house.
When he got there, he took a look at Tailor's house, it was just like every house in Wasteland Valley, it was a house made of wood, it was more or less like a wooden hut. Alfonso looked on the right side and could see a small cabin.
"It must be for the farmer's tools" Thought Alfonso.
He knocked the door, there, a 40 something year-old man opened the door.
"Hello, my name is Alfonso Lockheart, do you mind if we have a little chat " Said Alfonso.
"Your majesty, is my, Tailor, honor to meet you" Said Tailor while bowing.
Alfonso nodded and before he could say anything, he saw a small boy peeping out of Tailor's leg.
"Hello" Say Alfonso with a kind smile.
"H-h-hello, Is-is my pleasure to meet you, your majesty" Said little pit, while bowing clumsily.
"Don't need to be so cordial, Mr.Tailor, today I came here to talk with you and your son about the census that we have yesterday" Said Alfonso.
"Yeah….. I know" Said Tailor
Alfonso could feel the nervousness in Tailor's voice, he wasn't surprised, if he could figure out that little pit was special, then his family obviously could figure it out it, maybe he thought that Alfonso came here with some evil thoughts towards pit.
Alfonso sat down and took a sheet, before he could take a pen, little blue pick out for him. The pair of son and father were curious about this little blue bird who was on his majesty head, however, they didn't say anything because they knew it wasn't their place to ask this question.
"This is my friend, little blue" Said Alfonso while smiling.
"Pit, I want you to do me a favor, could you write your father's name and occupation in this sheet?" Ask Alfonso,
Little Pit was usually shy before strangers, however, he didn't know why, Alfonso give him a sense of security, like he was a kind grandpa. So he did as Alfonso told him, Tailor also didn't know why, but Alfonso seems to have a special kind of "charisma" that make people feel at ease, despite this, he maintained his alert, he wasn't as naïve as a child after all.
"I am done!" Said Pit while giving the sheet back to Alfonso. Alfonso grabbed the sheet and nodded, then he put the sheet on his pocket.
"Pit, I want to ask you a few questions, let's say for example that I want to give you some candies, however, I only have 15 and me and your father also want some candy, so, how much candy do I need to give to you and your father so the three of us can have the same share of candy? " Asked Alfonso.
Tailor was a little confused by the question, however, he did the calculation quickly, just as he finished, little pit also finished.
"5 candies each!" Said Little Pit with a smile.
Alfonso nodded with a satisfied expression.
"Mr. Tailor don't worry, I won't hurt him or you, I came here with just one purpose, little pit, do you mind if I chat with your father alone?" Said Alfonso with a smile, Tailor was about to say something, but Alfonso stopped him, he was waiting for little Pit answer.
"Ok!" Said little Pit, before going outside to play.
Before long, in the room Alfonso and Tailor looked at each other.
"Mr.Tailor, You and I know that little pit is special, like I said, I don't have any ulterior plans, I just want to know something, do you have anything to share with me about little pit?" Said Alfonso with a serious expression.
Tailor just looked at him, he hesitated for some time.
"No, I don't" Said Tailor.
"I see, then I believe you, I would like to teach little pit a few things, you are also welcome to come if you want" Said Alfonso with his usual kind smile before standing up. When Tailor saw this, he was confused, he knew that Alfonso saw through him, he was obviously hiding something, however, Alfonso seems to don't care.
"Wait! ... aren't you….. aren't you going to ask…..?" Asked Tailor with an awkward expression.
"If you don't want to share it, then you don't have to, everyone has his or her own secrets, I promise you that I won't hurt you or your son, and the words of I, Alfonso Lockheart, are made of gold" Said Alfonso without looking back.
Tailor was a little taken back, before he bowed to Alfonso.
"I…. I only want to say that, we may bring trouble for your majesty if we stay in this town" Said Tailor with a sad expression, he could feel the sincerity in Alfonso's words, so he didn't want to bring any harm to this kind person.
"Don't worry, life without problems if a live who hasn't been lived, don't forget to come to my manor tomorrow with little Pit, maybe you will also learn a thing or two" Said Alfonso while taking his leaving, Tailor didn't say anything else m he just bowed once again.
"Thank you" Said Tailor while observing the parting figure of Alfonso.
Alfonso and Tailor didn't know, but little Pit have been listening the whole time through the door, Although he was just a 4-year-old kid, he could understand a lot of things with this conversation, he heard that Alfonso was coming back, and he rapidly tried to hide, Alfonso opened the door and saw little pit, he thought that it was funny how this little kid tried to hide, he smiled and fondle the little boy's head.
"I will see you tomorrow little fellow" Said Alfonso
"I….I like you, your majesty!, you are a nice person!" Said little Pit.
"You can just call me uncle" Said Alfonso
Although Alfonso was only 25 years old, in his past life he was 70 years old, so he didn't mind people called him uncle, he smiled and waved his palm to little Pit.
"Uncle! You one more thing!" Shout Little Pit towards Alfonso.
"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.
"Call me by my name, because I am already a grow man!" Said little Pit.
"Oh! Then I will do that…mm?....know that mention it, in the census, it says that your name is Pit…" Said Alfonso.
Just as he said that, Tailor, who heard this conversation, came out with an awkward expression.
"Actually... I kind of get used to called him little Pit, so I just told them that….. I am so ashamed" Said Tailor.
"Sigh… you can't do that you know, I need that information to be accurate, then if your name isn't Pit, then which is?" Asked Alfonso.
"My name is an abbreviation; my real name is…
PYTHAGORAS!" Said little Pit while going inside the house with Tailor.
Alfonso stood there for some time without knowing what to do.
