"As-as my lord orders" Said the fat woman .
She sat down opposite to Alfonso, who, without a care in the world, grabbed the plate of the fat woman and began to eat it himself .
The woman observer how Alfonso eat her food without saying anything, however, each second that pa.s.sed, the woman become more and more nervous . At this moment, she remembers the scene of a few months ago went her lord ordered his soldiers to sew the mouth of that guy or the incident previous to that, went he cut the tongue of a thief, because these memories, she didn"t dare to talk .
"I heard that you don"t let your kid go to school" Said Alfonso .

He resumed his eating without saying anything more .
Ten minutes pa.s.sed in silence while Alfonso eat without a care in the world, on the other hand, the fat woman was s.h.i.+vering like crazy, these ten minutes felt like ten years for her!
Alfonso finally finished his eating; he skillfully left the plate on one side and the fork on the other side .
He looked at the woman .
"So, not only you disobey my rules"
"But you also lie to me in the face" Said Alfonso with a chilly voice .
