The Supreme Sovereign System 121 Visiting Hygiea

In a big room, a girl with short orange girl was working with some fruits, its was quite interesting seeing her, in her hands was a green apple however, the girl wasn't eating it, she was observing it, smelling it and, after doing all these preparations, she took out a small knife and cut in five parts, she grabbed what it seems to be a roller and squeeze each part separately, she took a piece of herbs from a bag and put the apple's pulp with the herb and proceeded to squeeze it once again, she smell the new product and then combine it with some water in a small bowl. She took the juice and examined its color while she took note of every progress she did in a notebook. She took a deep gulp on the juice and waited for some time, after some minutes she made a small sigh and write in the note the word 'failure'.

"This combination is a failure as well" Though the girl while putting the bowl aside.

*Knock* *Knock*

Suddenly, the girl's door sounded, she was startled for some time, before saying.

"Come in, its open" Shout the girl.

When the door opened a young man with an eyepatch and a cane greet him, he had a small yet friendly smile on his face.

"h.e.l.lo, it's been a while, Hygiea" Said the young man.

"M-my lord" Said Hygiea while kneeling.

"Skip the formalities please, I came here to talk for some time, but it seems that you are busy" Said Alfonso.

"Oh! This… don't worry your highness, I will clean up immediately!" Said Hygiea in panic.

Alfonso only made a small sigh while looking at the table, he saw all the instruments in the table as well as the fruits, it seems that Hygiea bring these fruits from Tulip before departing.

"Although we don't have the facilities, she still tried to use the few resources we have, she is quite hard working, I like it" Though Alfonso.

After some minutes, Hygiea made a quick 'cleaning' to her room. She usually never leave her room, nor because she was afraid, in fact, Ribeiro and the others had been nice and friendly with her, however, she liked to do these small experiments and she needed to focus, that's why she preferred to be alone most of the time, she only talked with Ribeiro and the servants when it was dinner or lunch time, she didn't like to eat breakfast.

"Hygiea, it seems that you are trying to make new kinds of potions?" Asked Alfonso.

"That's right, my lord, I don't enough 'Utiuos' to keep doing the potions that I gave you the first time, so I tried to experiment with other fruits to see if I can get something similar or maybe even better" Said Hygiea.

"it's a shame that I don't know a single thing about medicine, I can't help her with anything" Though Alfonso.

"And how is the progress going?" Asked Alfonso.

Hygiea panicked once again, she didn't know what to answer, its been almost a month and something since she got here, however, all her efforts had been in vain, so she was a little ashamed to tell Alfonso that she didn't have any result, at the same time, she was scared, she didn't want to lose this job, the pay was high, the people treat her good, she even had her own room! In her twenty-four years of life, if she had two meals a day, she would consider it a luxury not to mention this.

"We-well… about that…" Murmured Hygiea.

"Don't worry, I know what you are trying to say, I am not mad, in fact, I already knew that this was going to happen" Said Alfonso.

Hygiea saw the face of Alfonso and saw that he wasn't lying, she felt relieved but at the same time, a feeling of guiltiness and appreciation rose in her heart.

"I-I will do better, for my lord" Said Hygiea.

"I know, just by seeing your hands and your room, I can tell that you work hard, that's good and makes me know that I didn't made wrong decision went I hired you, however, don't forget this, hard work is only the tool that we have to get a goal, at the end of the day, the goal is what it matters, although it sounds cruel, that it's how this world works" Said Alfonso.

Hygiea nodded.

Alfonso nodded satisfied by Hygiea's reaction, he took a look at her room and said

"After seeing your work, I felt like I have wronged you, you will need a lab to do your experiments, its not good that you sleep in this kind of environment, lets do this, I will a.s.sign a nearby house as your own lab, I will make a wolf escort you can come and go like you please" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso liked people like Hygiea, hardworking and pa.s.sionate about their work, she remained him when he started his first jobs in museums and galleries.

"I-I…" Hygiea didn't know how to answer, this felt like a dream for her, true to be told, it was quite uncomfortable for her to live with all the fruits and the bowls here.

"I will get it ready, well, I won't waste more of your time, dinner will be ready in a few hours, we didn't have a welcome ceremony for you, so we will take this opportunity to celebrate yours and Susana's incorporation to the team, oh yeah, I almost forgot, today, I will began a new history for Little Pit and the rest, if you want, you are more than welcome, it will be very interesting I promise, well then" Said Alfonso while waving his hand, he closed the door and leave the room.

Hygiea stayed in silence for some time before grabbing the fruits and returning to her experiments, however, the look on her eyes were fervent than ever.

"I won't disappoint my lord"

This was the only though on Hygiea's mind.
