THE COLD DAD
WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER, SIRE??
In the Sky palace, after seeing the God's pet fish, he went back to look for His Majesty. Midway.. He recalled his conversation with his second brother Renma.
(flashback) "by the way, your majesty, very attentive with both fish. What's so special about big fish like them?" Said astonished.
"Either, according to what I know, he had his own memories, with those pair of fish!" Renma.. Staring at the pair of fish that were leaping beautifully above them.
A pair of fish that are kept from childhood to, become large with an unusual size.
"What do you mean, brother?" Ask the Confused Guard.
"Not to be discussed, there are times.. Not knowing is much better than being too curious. Because you're gonna be wretched, if you're too curious about a problem that's none of your business." He muttered while grinning.
"cih, what does that mean..! Because I don't know, so ask, let's not be a problem behind the day."
"what problem.. It's just fish. There is no need to discuss, you better continue with your duties. I heard he will soon enter the Main Hall. So hurry up and hurry, before he leaves again."
(now) "awesome, just answer why? What a hard thing." on the way he was immersed in his mind. 'actually, I still think about the key. Couldn't he go anywhere, even without this key. But, I just found out.. If the spirit world had to use a key like this. In fact, when going to the Spirit world alone, I would not have used a key!
Strange, but.. Why now there is a key. Is this really the key to the spirit world??? Hm.. Suspicious, what Do not-don't from the beginning, he did deliberately pranking me!!!' the Guard's mind began to be filled with various speculations. Which made the Guard, almost doubting himself.
...*******...
The Main Hall.. His Majesty is sitting on his throne. He listened and listened, The report given by Garma and Doma.
The Guard was still waiting outside the Hall, while weighing between reporting or not. Before long.. Garma came out, leaving only Doma, and the Gods, who were still talking inside.
As Garma exited through the door, he saw the Guard sitting on the steps of the palace, and went down to greet the Guard.
"hey.. What are you daydreaming about? Until it's that serious..!"
The Guard looked a little dazed, upon seeing Garma his first brother. Coming towards him, Garma sat beside the Guard.
"What's wrong with you? You're not usually that dazed." Said Anxious.
'Feelings, this is the second time, someone asked me the same question!' he began to divert the conversation. "it's okay, What's your business with your Majesty, it's done??"
"yes my business is done, if you're right don't go inside, he's been waiting for you since. Then, I say goodbye first, there's still another job, waiting for me."
"All right, I'll be right inside." he nodded, looking at the back of his brother, who had already left.
Before long Doma, the third brother came out, while on foot with the Guard, he said the same thing.
"you're here, what a coincidence.he just ordered me, to find you. He is waiting for you inside.. Come on in."
"really?" ask the Guard anxiously.
"mmm.." Answer with a nod.
'Once tumben.. He is waiting for me!! Usually he would call me right away, if there was anything he wanted. What's the matter exactly..?? He immediately rushed inside, and saluted. "Sincerely servant to Your Majesty, servant comes to face.
Noticing the Dazed-looking Guard, the Majesty immediately let out his Voice.
"Okay Your Majesty." he replied slowly, however, the Guard's mind was filled with many questions.
In an instant, both of them moved to another place.
...****************...
...In the magic tower, Raffael was sitting in a meeting room,...
... Round table....
...The meeting was attended by nine people. There are eight magic councils, and the youngest is Raffael, who also serves as the chairman of the Council....
...Raffael sits casually listening to the upheaval of the round table, with his chin supported, on the backs of his hands. He watched, and listened in silence, without making any sound. Everything was busy discussing about the new policy, on the establishment of the merger of the city of Valthoz, with the Western Continent....
...Besides of.. Not only discussing the issue of state, the Council, also busy discussing about seasonal cases, which are rife, lately. And one of the council, Sanders Loman, tried to report what happened....
..."Sire.. Entering the end of the year, at the border of the city, there has been another Forbidden Practice of Magic, to the point of costing dozens of victims, and most of the victims who have fallen, always children and, only a few to the Adults. I've deployed ten Expedition teams, to find the mastermind of the matter. But the result that we get is nil, Sire....
...In fact, their traces had also disappeared just like that!! Many parents complain about this problem and if it persists.. Over time, the population in the border area will become extinct." Sanders reported....
...Raffael silently listened, what was conveyed by Sanders, while the other seven Councils, also listened with focus, while waiting for their turn. The atmosphere in the room, became silent for a moment.. Rhagel also expressed his opinion....
..."Hm.. See how complicated the case is.. After a few years, it is still unsolved. It is hard to find traces of the practice they have done. Means the perpetrators are very shrewd and experienced people in this matter. They played so clean and smooth, that there was no trace of any magic left."...
...Rhagel then, looked towards the young Emperor, who had only been silent since earlier. He ventured to ask, representing the other Council....
..."Sire.is not this something we should investigate even more deeply.. So, what's your answer, sire?? if the Expedition team alone often fails to deal with this case, that doesn't mean, we have to take down other teams.. Who's even more adept at magic..!"...
...Raffael still silenced a thousand languages, pondering about what his subordinates were talking about. He was furious, after hearing the report. Seeing the Emperor not answer anything, made the atmosphere in the room become distorted, with the Emperor's expression looking cold, and dangerous. They understood very well, with the nature of the emperor like this....
...Looking at how the Emperor's expression was, none of them dared to speak. After a while, the cold atmosphere returned warm. However, it was only an instant....
..."hem.. How long has this case been going on??" Quietly said....
..."It's been three years, sire."said Sanders began to fidget....
..."And at the end of each year, they will begin the terror. And just now, you guys reported a case like this to me!!" tanyanya, with a slightly elevated tone....
...Sanders began to pale, with questions from the emperor....
..."heh.. I deliberately kept quiet and just sat sweetly since then. Just to see how you guys handled the case. Mm.. But I didn't expect, it turns out you guys are useless."...
...Hearing the answer that Raffael threw out, made everything that was there poured, silent in silence. Raffael got up from his chair, and stepped slowly, surrounding the Council....
..."before this, every meeting we've had.. You never discussed this case. Heh.. You always say that the situation at the border is safe. And now, once you can't handle it.. You guys just wanted to tell me!!" Said annoyed....
..."Hehehe... Shall I change your position, with the New Council??"...
...Hearing the Emperor's words .. The Councils turned pale not budging in the least. Except for Rhagel, he looked calm. He had intended, Even if he was expelled from the Council, he still did not care. Because he felt, it was appropriate that he left the office....
