THE COLD DAD
HONESTLY, I DON'T BELIEVE A BIT OF YOUR WORD, KEK
"Dam.... I'm serious Old Man!!! My daughter called me through the necklace my wife gave me. And he said he'd be late tonight because he's with his friend!"
"Bruuukk... When was the last time he called you??" Zion was immediately startled and reflexively stood up, making the chair she was sitting on fall backward.
"Just now, the connection was cut off immediately after he said he was with his friend."
"No way, the Goddess could not have friends, because she never participated in socialite association! And many of the invitations that came were never responded to at all, So the question now is, who is the friend he meant??"
Soon Zion disappeared, and instantly appeared in the Duke's study.
"Therefore I call you, let's meet my Daughter's Spirit!"
In an instant the two disappeared, and appeared in Princess Ravella's room. Looks like all four Spirits are playing chess, some are enjoying warm tea, and some are reading books.
"Is there anything you're here with such a tangled face?" Ask Zaku, sipping some warm tea.
"Grandfather, this is a serious matter, where's the Princess?" Said Zion looking worried.
"You guys just calm down.. He's on a walk right now."
Lannox held onto Zaku's collar, furious at their reaction as if nothing had happened.
"What do you mean, Old Man? What use are you guys as Spirits, if not take good care of it!!" The duke became emotional, in the eyes of the Duke, his Spirit Daughter did not look worried at all.
Zaku still looked relaxed, he was not affected in the slightest because he understood the concern of the Father. Because he also felt the same way before he got the Princess' letter.
"Haah.., calm down boy. Before that, can you please let go of this hand?" Said Zaku pointing at the Duke's hand.
While others were busy with their own activities, and ignored the Duke's anger, because they knew the Father of their Master was very sensitive and stubborn when it came to the matter of his beloved Princess. Lannox took off both hands, and tried to be calm.
'Damn, the letter was on Roya again haah.., so I can't show it as Evidence. How to deal with such a stubborn boy.' Complain Zaku.
'You don't make Zaku trouble, be careful in speaking. You know for yourself that if you're wrong, these two kids will do something reckless for the Goddess. Did not the Goddess entrust this child to us! So, think of a reasonable reason.' Tama, suddenly spoke to him and reminded the mouth of a zaku who sometimes likes the origin of carelessly.
'Chew, take care of your chess, of course I'm not that stupid as a damn. So you don't have to remind me, I already know.' Said Zaku reasoned.
While the other three Spirits, only grinned at the talk of the two. Zaku pretended to look relaxed, so as not to look suspicious.
"Ehem.. Ahem.. We drove him ourselves. I saw he was playing with his friend, so you don't have to worry. The Goddess is also accompanied by competent bodyguards, and the two resolute ladies." Zaku said, reasoned.
"Cannot be.. Is that impossible are you lying??" Lannox still doubts Zaku's words.
"Did I look like I'm lying now haah..!" in heart. 'Of course I had to lie, because I only read your thoughts, so I can reason if the Goddess is with her friend.'
"Then.. Does Grandpa know who his friend is?" Zion asked, making both of Zaku's eyebrows furrow.
"Haha... Ahhaha.."
Seeing his friend's laughter.. Zaku became upset. 'Currently, instead of helping to find an excuse, he was busy laughing indistinctly.'
"Why are you laughing.. What's so funny? Are you crazy to laugh yourself."
"Ah.. Excuse me.. Pardon me..! all of a sudden I want to laugh haha, you guys just continue your business don't care about my existence, just assume I don't exist." Said Tama while wiping her tears.
"Grandfather, I ask you? Don't switch the subject." Zion felt the Spirit Grandfathers looked suspicious.
Zaku seemed very upset, as his friends handed him troublesome things, while the others pretended not to know.
'Dangerous.. It is better for me to fight than to face these two boys, Cih, Look at their eyes that seem to fear nothing.' he lamented inwardly. "Mmmm.. I also do not know who his friend is, Dewi did not tell him in detail.
He just said if the boy was his friend, and after that he ordered us to come back immediately. Because he wants to have some privacy with his friend." Said Zaku, scratching his cheek, with his index finger.
'Damn, what reason do I look reasonable?? I hope these two boys believe.' Zaku looked towards Lannox and Zion, Lannox seemed to start believing however, in contrast to his granddaughter.
"So it's like that.. All right, then." Lannox looked lethargic, then walked out leaving the others.
'Ha.. Turns out he just believed.., thank goodness.' Zaku felt relieved in his heart.
Lannoxpun immediately left, after hearing a reasonable answer. Although he still doubts the truth of the story.
After Lannox left his daughter's room, Stay Zion, who was still staring suspiciously at the grandfather. He stared intently at Grandfather, making Zaku feel uncomfortable.
"See what you're a kid?" Said Zaku fiercely, but Zion did not feel the slightest trepidation, she continued to stare intently at the Grandfather, as if demanding an answer.
"Currently, I don't believe in the slightest word about you cake! You can fool the boy, but not me." Said probing.
'Haah.. You stubborn rancid boy.' Zaku could only slash his long breath, he did not know what to say.
Seeing Zaku feeling desperate, Gira immediately intervened. He could not bear to let his friend continue to lie since then, and bear the pressure of his grandson alone. Girapun approached the two, and patted the shoulder of the young man who looked still in his twenties.
"Sir.. Pukkp.. Son, it looks like we can't lie to you, seeing how much you're worried." Gira.
Hearing Gira until intervening, the other two Spirits immediately rose to stand up to the three. Saga, and Tama, walked over and Saga rubbed Zion's head, to incline her worries.
"Right boy, you know your Master is a reckless type of boy, for that we are forced to lie.' Saga said with a smile.
"Well, as with the two of you, we were also only informed by his letter. The goddess didn't want to tell her whereabouts because she was afraid we'd go after her." Tama said, with the position of folding hands backward.
Zion looked up, looking at the figures of the Grandfathers who were taller than her, While the height of Zion was still the size under the chins of the Spirits.
