THE COLD DAD
I'VE MADE MY DECISION

in another dimension.. The body of the ghost, has been stretched stiff, although there is still warmth from the body. Feeling like he didn't want to waste a chance without waiting for a long time, a flash of orange light shot out from Tama's body, grabbed and gripped the owl's body.. The corpse disappeared into a flake of light, and fused with the body of the tama.

''hihihihi.. in this way, the intensity of my magic, more abundant. heh. it turns out this fat body.. They have a high spiritual level. And now, I must complete this mission immediately. If not, I can be late from the deadline set. It's enough I missed it once, there won't be a second time."

After convincing himself.. Look at the giant red gate. The two doors were still tightly closed, He walked through the stairs by the stairs, having arrived at the last staircase, the thousandth ladder. Stop right in front of the two gates. His head looked up, looking at the height of the big red door.

'hm 'hmm.. The size even exceeds the size of the bird, by the way.. How do I open this door? Sigemuk didn't even give me the key to open it. Did-don't-don't he forget to give it!'

Just as Tama, was deep in her own thoughts, suddenly something shocking happened.

"nngggiiikkk." The two gates opened by themselves, Dan, the most surprising of them all was.

"bitch.. Especially now?" Tama narrowed her eyes, while folding both her hands.

...----------------...

at Duke's Mansion, Argus, Dean, and Robi arrive. In Duke's office, tension ensued.

"I'm facing His Majesty."

Argus appears by taking Robi, and Dean, with him. The silver-haired handsome man, was sitting on his back against the light. He seemed busy taking care of the documents, which were stacked on his desk.

"good, what about the mission! Did you guys make it?" asked Lannox coldly.

Both of them looked embarrassed, with regret. For those who have failed in the mission, they have no hope.. To gain the Duke's trust. And, it was certain that they would not be accepted in the mansion, thinking that was all.. It's made Robi, and Dean, afraid of being dumped.

(Robby) 'how this is.. If We fail in this mission, Your Majesty will definitely throw Us away like a useless item. I no longer have any destination other than this place, even now.. The prince must be looking for my whereabouts. If Your Majesty refuses to accept me, the only way.' complained Robi almost desperate.

(Dean) 'I have failed in the easy mission given by His Majesty, I know he is also testing the two of us. But, if the mission which he considers easy like this only.. we can't finish it! It is my hope, but there are still many unsolved mysteries. I don't even know where the rog is right now! And also.. I escaped from orsi.

I'm sure they're looking for my whereabouts right now. Looking at how strict Orsi secrecy is, heh.. Maybe they'll just let me go. Even if I'm reported dead, or caught with the enemy, it doesn't mean they'll believe me and come to my rescue like an important person. For Orsi, if you fail the mission.. Then you must end your own life, or end with a sadist. There must be some hidden deception that I didn't know all along, I must also be careful of Orsi's spies. Only here can I feel safe, and away from the dirty work.'

See their second residence.. Lannox stopped his work, looking a handsome face propping up his chin, on the backs of his hands, who were wearing black gloves. Lannox fell silent and watched the two, making the atmosphere in the room quiet and tense.

While Argus, directly approached and stood behind his Master, and just observed the two in silence.

Dean and Robi, looking confused and frightened. A cold sweat drenched the faces of both of them.. As for Argus, just grinning to pay attention to the two. And after a while later..

"then.. What report are you going to give me?"

The two glanced at each other doubtfully, Robi who felt guilty, for having reported and showed their weakness both of them, which meant that they had failed.

(Robby) "Sa.. I apologize Your Majesty, but We have agreed, and leave with confidence. However, because you are worried that Dean will not come back.. I took the initiative first, to ask His Majesty for help."

"want?" ask Lannox briefly.

(Dean) "yes, my majesty, this is all my fault. Because I was too confident, and I didn't expect it either! The enemy we were facing, turned out to be beyond our limits when I entered the passageway.. To find the existence of the document, suddenly my search was stopped with a creature that I did not know its form and form. And, shortly after I fought him, Help came. But, there's something strange about that thing!"

"hmm.you mean?"

(Dean) "the creature seemed to have been there for a long time, and it seemed.. Its existence, not just a coincidence."

"..........." Lannox silently watched.

(Dean) "the existence of the creature.. It seems to have been planned. As His Majesty had said from the very beginning. If the existence of monsters that take a lot of casualties, it is true. You see, when I entered the secret passageway! The creature spoke to me, and asked as if it were familiar."

Flashback (""is it time for me, lunch?"

"......."

"say who are you?"

"......."

"you don't look like a guard! are you new?") present-day.

"because I don't know what to answer? I just kept quiet, seeing that I wasn't responding. He fell silent and began to suspect. Then shortly. the creature immediately attacked Me, Your Majesty." he muttered honestly.

Hearing Dean's reply, a part of the Duke's lips lifted up. Then after that he returned a sharp glance at Robi. Seeing the look that seemed to pierce him. Robi's body, became filled with cold sweat and a sense of trembling that he could not cover.

Hearing the honest answer from the two, both corners of lannox's lips lifted. However, it is still unclear what that smile is. It is a gratification, or a threat, that will end the hope of both.

"heard both of you answer.. I've made my decision."

Lannox got up from her chair.. And stepped forward sitting at his desk, folding his hands, and staring coldly at the two men who were standing, with bowed faces and trembling bodies.

Robi, and Dean, waited expectantly anxiously. They did not know what answer the Duke would take. And both of them, as if resigned, whatever answer they say! Not that it can make them escape, because the most needed in this mission.. The success and the real outcome of their actions. But unfortunately.. Both have failed.

(Robby) 'if this time.I'm not welcome! I've decided, I'll end my life, rather than end up in the hands of a vile prince.'

(Dean) 'fuck, I've failed, for sure I won't be accepted. Though I was very happy, and wanted to devote myself to Him, as an honorable knight recognized by Him. But now, instead of ending up being a loser, my status alone was unclear. If he refuses! Where else do I have to go.. While now, I must have been a fugitive of the orsi. Wherever I hide.. Life will not be as safe as it once was!" dean was pensive, drifting in his own mind.

Both look like they have no spirit of life. So that they did not realize, the Duke noticed the two of them. There was a ripple of sadness, perching on the faces of the two.

"hem.ahem.." Duke pretended to cough, awakening their daydreams.

Hearing the Duke's coughing voice, the two regained their senses from their daydreams. And stared blankly at the Duke.

'chuck, look at their faces.. It looked like an undead now.' he murmured inwardly, which made him want to laugh cynically. "you both ESCAPED."

"well Your Majesty.. Then we'll.. Eugh.." answered the two together very uninspiredly, for they were still unconscious. A few seconds later, the two looked at each other in disbelief.

(Robby) "ka... we ESCAPED....!" robi said spontaneously.

(Dean) "is that true, Your Majesty?" Robi still can't believe, with what he heard, he tried to ask again to be sure.

"cih, was I that cruel in your eyes..? Until it makes you doubt." he replied with a sharp look.

"Gedebag" the two immediately kneeled on one leg, and the right hand clung to their chests.

(Dean/Robby) "we promise.. We will swear allegiance to His Majesty, and we will devote our entire lives to His Majesty only" said the two exuberant spirits, as if returning from the dead, a loud voice echoed in the Duke's room.

"huh.. I will take your oath officially later.I have a lot of work to do. For now.. You I give you two days off, for the dedication you have done. You deserve it, and make the most of your two days until I call you back.

(Robby/Dean) "well, thank you Your Majesty.. Then, we beg to withdraw first."

"mmm.."

After making sure they both went away.. And left his study. Lannox asked Argus.

"how? Did you get the documents..!"

(Argus) "already Your Majesty." argus immediately issued the file, in an instant all the documents were in his hands.

"then.. What about that thing?"

(Argus) "the servant has confined him, in the prison of His Majesty's emptiness."

"mmm.. You'd better move him where he's supposed to be, and get him introgated."

"well, I will do as Your Majesty wishes."

"one more.. What about my jail?"

Argus grinning.. And answered casually.

"hehehe.. Now they are enjoying a beautiful dream!"

"good, you don't have to dirty your hands, send them the forbidden forest. For I will not forgive the traitors, Let them be the food of the beasts. "

"as always.. Your Majesty is cruel. Uh! Speaking of which before I leave, can I sit here for a moment Your Majesty?"

"hmm.." he said indifferently.

'it looks like there will be an interesting show.' grinned Argus, while sitting on a sofa, as if waiting for something.
