The supreme sovereign system

The mano of Alfonso have two floors and one underground, on the first floor there are the main hall, the kitchen room, the dinner room and the servants rooms, Ribi and Ribeiro live on this floor. On the second floor there is a gathering room that connects the thirteen bedrooms. Alfonso when with little Pit and Tailor to the gathering room on the second floor, he gave each other a piece of sheet and a pen, little pit was impressive with the huge manor it was the first time on his life that saw such delicate furniture and it was warmer here than in any other house in Wasteland Valley, on the other hand, Tailor was also impressed but for something completely different, as a teacher and scholar he had visited the houses of the riches' nobles in Utio Town, compared to those houses, this manner was extremely….. Poor.

"Let's begin…. For now, sat on the couch, as I told you before, I will give you a few lessons, I will teach you mathematics, but that is a surprise for later" Said Alfonso who was in front of them.

Tailor was puzzle, he though when Alfonso said to come to "classes" to his manor, he was indirectly asking him to teach, he was a scholar after all, however…. Alfonso was just a twenty-something years-old man, furthermore, he wasn't known for being an intelligent person such as his sister.

"Well, maybe he learned a thing of two back in Dragon city that could be useful" Though Tailor, but the truth was that he didn't believe his own thoughts, he considered himself a teacher after all, so he had his pride as one. Being a scholar in Leitol was something to be proud of, few people could acquire this tittle, one had to take an exam that took place in Dragon City every 10 years.

"Very well then, I will start, I will divide the lessons into three subjects, algebra, geometry and arithmetic, today we will start with algebra" Said Alfonso while grabbing a piece of sheet and pen himself.

"What? Alge… what? What is that?" Thought Tailor

"You see, in our world, we humans have made a… lets called it structure, this structure let us comprehend the world, at least, we think so. The world "talks" to us in a language, however, we aren't able to comprehend it, because we don't talk it, so we need an "interpreter" to help us, this interpreter are mathematics" Said Alfonso.

Tailor was astonished when he heard this introduction.

"He…. How.... This…" Tailor didn't know what to say.

"Algebra is the first step to us to be able to became interpreters, you see, Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies the structures of the world, organizes it and put it in quantities terms that we can understand, for example…. I have here a sheet, how many sheets I have little Pit?" Asked Alfonso.

"Uncle, you have one!" Said little Pit with enthusiasm.

"How about you Tailor, how many sheets I have?"

"Your majesty, you have one" Said Tailor.

"That's right, then… I grab this other sheet; how many do I have?" Asked Alfonso.

""2!"" Said both at the same time.

"Excellent, however, have you ever though… what are you doing exactly right now? Well, the obvious answer is that you are adding up one plus one, lets up something to that then, let's say that I have two sheets and two pencil, so, let's say that I buy pencils and now I have 3 sheets, how many pencils did I buy?, this time, don't answer me, I want you to see this, of course I know that you know the answer, but remember, this is because we are using numbers that aren't so complicated, so I will write something and I will have you to interpret it"

Alfonso rapidly wrote something on the sheet

2 + x = 3;

"Wha... what adding a number and a…. Letter?" Tailor was taken aback by this, he has never seemed something like this…. What was this?

"Uncle, I don't understand! How can you add a number and a letter and come with a number?" Asked little Pit.

"Well, you see this will be the base for us from now on, this is how you interpret the results that you have come with but in sheet, this is called an equation, you see this is exactly what you did with problem before, the difference is that you subconsciously did it, I am just writing your thoughts process" Said Alfonso with a smile.

"….. I understand!" Said Tailor while grabbing the sheet.

"I don't quite understand it~" Said little Pit.

"Don't worry, today I only wanted to you to make this little introduction, lets out some other examples so you can understand."

Just like this, Alfonso give more examples, Tailor was already like an honor student listening to a great master, Little Pit was worthy of being the genius of the Ancient Greek Pythagoras, he understood it and even made some abstraction about it.

"Uncle, I have an idea how to interpret furthermore the process! If I put minus two on both sides, I will have the "x" alone!" Said Little Pit with emotion.

"That is right Little Pit, this has a name and it is called the distributive propriety, however, that is a little too advance for now, so let's end the class here" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

"This little guy is too talented, in a few years, he will be teaching me instead, well that is expected from Pythagoras I guess" Thought Alfonso.

"We have learned a lot today, I can not thank his majesty enough" Said Tailor while bowing deeply, he's respected for Alfonso has increased by a significant amount.

"Uncle this is funny! Let's continue!" Said Little Pit.

"Sorry little guy, we will have to ended here, If we don't, I won't have the time for the surprise!" Said Alfonso.

""Surprise?"" Asked both of them.

"Yeah, sit down, I will tell you a history, not all the story though, I will tell you a part of it every time we end a class, by the way, we will have classes only five days a week, you are free on Sunday and Saturday" Said Alfonso.

"Ok.." Said Little Pit with a little regret, he couldn't help it, he like this class a lot!, Tailor also made a slightly sad face.

"Oh~ a story? I also want to hear about that~" Suddenly a voice came from one of the rooms, It was Demeter.

"Alfonso, I also want to hear it" Said Artemis, who have just came back from hunting.

"Well, it's not a problem, sit down"

When everyone sat down, Alfonso also sat down, he was tired of being stood up for almost 1 hour

"I will start now, this is the story of benevolent princess who lived in a far away kingdom… her name was Snow White." Said Alfonso.
