THE COLD DAD
ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH RAZAK...!
Hem..Hem.. Hem.. You know it isn't! if I nurture a savage predator that no one can tame, except myself.'
Hearing the Sire's words, Razak's expression changed, her eyes instantly widened..
'Wait.., don't tell His Majesty's pet??'
'You're right Razak, they've been three days I haven't fed. So, today take them to be dinner heh.. This way are you satisfied Razak...!
'Hehe.. Very satisfied, thank you very much.'
Raffael remained silent, in his dwelling.. It was as if he was contemplating something, his head slightly tilted to the left cheek-backed on his fist. With both legs crossed, his mind was far away from the idol he had always longed for.
'What does he think..?' Razak noticed the seriousness of the Majesty. 'What is with the Sire..? he looked so lonely and it was clearly reflected in his eyes! Although he grinned but it did not make him happy.' A few moments later, he made a sound again.
'Razak, because the business here is done.. I'll go back to the palace. Don't forget what I was talking about..!!'
'Okay, Sire, I will do it according to your orders.'
Before long the figure of the King disappeared from the seat of his greatness.. Made many eyes amazed by the figure of the young Emperor. From distance.. The voice of praise was heard from the people.
"Wuahs.. Look at him, even though he looks very young.. But our country is so lucky to have a leader like him."
"You're right.. Our emperor is very strong and cares about his people. He was never picky in punishing his subordinates, resolute and authoritative. Always putting the needs of his people first, I'm proud to have an Emperor like him."
"He is not only strong but also dignified and fair in leading."
Others nodded in affirmation, while the nobles who listened to praise for praise felt uneasy, because the Emperor always numbered the nobles.
Razak, who watched in silence the dislike of some of the nobles, just smirked and enjoyed the spectacle.
'Baginda always shows his concern when with the people, that is why the people of this country love him so much and flatter him. But it is different from the nobility, who claim to be loyal in the mouth but are contradictory.
Some are on His side, some still stick with the principle of those who do not accept the way he leads. Because they could not make him, as a puppet acting according to their wishes.
Haaah... Were they stupid, precisely such an Emperor was not worthy of leading this country. An Emperor who is too easily controlled by subordinates is tantamount to a puppet! While the Emperor who is not easily arranged is the real Emperor.
Are they unconscious.. He ignored their existence because he still appreciated their service to this country. Otherwise, it has been a long time since His Majesty got rid of them.'
Razak watched the gathered crowd, seeing the suspects in court.
'While you guys are so lucky to be the ones who know nothing!!'
...****************...
Likewise with the stubborn boy, he never considered his daughter to exist, he hated her very existence.. Sangking his hate he even abandoned his daughter. Because he considered his late wife dead because of the birth of his own daughter.. That's why he never wanted to show his daughter, in public.
To be exact he never admitted that he had a little angel, who never tired of waiting for his presence, sometimes he pensively himself in the corner of the window of the room, hoping that the Father would come to admit it, or see it.
But the Master never gave his trace in the least, he was even banished from the main mansion, he transferred his daughter to the old kemansion where the place was no longer habitable, because of the old building.
He only befriends a lady-in-waiting and lives estranged, the boy continues to wait for a warm hug, waiting for him to come even if just seeing it is enough for him. The Goddess never expected more, because she knew very well how loathed Master was with her existence.
He even looks very lonely, to the point that he feels jealous of the figure of animals that have a family. Just imagine that little boy.. Forcing yourself to get used to it without Dad's figure by his side.. But he never complained to anyone and only harbored his own wounds, because he believed that his father could change one day.
And it was only in the last few years that somehow the boy slowly began to melt away, seeing the drastic change of his daughter's attitude that suddenly became cold to him. He missed the call of the Father of the little angel whom he had neglected all this time.
After the poisoning incident, Dewi began to change, he never again sought or pursued the love of the boy, and never again called him Father, or just greet his father if he met.
Even the Goddess seemed to no longer care about the existence of the Master, she had until she stopped calling him Father except by the designation of His Majesty, and she had always avoided him whenever they met, he said, despite only looking at each other he quickly threw his face into disrepair.. As if all that was left was hatred.
That's why I don't believe it at all when Grandpa says if the Goddess, has friends. Whatever the reason I won't believe it, because I know him so well.. Beyond his own father, I've been watching over the Goddess ever since he was a baby without the Goddess knowing, I can only protect him in silence without my Master's knowledge, Because that's all I can do."
Zion poured out everything she had been craving all along, in the presence of the four Spirits however, without Zion realizing someone out there was eavesdropping in silence. The four Spirits already knew if he did not leave and just leaned against the wall he listened to everything Zion was talking about, the Spirits purposely left it alone without telling Zion.
The wound that he had almost forgotten, was now bleeding again, making tears that could not be contained flow down in silence. His heart grew cloudy again, he cried without a sound and covered his face with both rough hands.
After hearing all the heart from his Spirit, he returned to his room feeling guilty. he dropped down on his soft bed and sank deeper and enjoyed the regret that seemed attractive to shackle himself into the deepest abyss.
'How many years are wasted.. For six years I ignored my daughter. What kind of father am I..! During that time also I have lost many beautiful moments when he was still funny and was in need of my figure as the figure of Father, where he leaned, and pampered while complaining.
However, this foolish me is too late in grief because of the sudden departure of my wife I blame my daughter, but she is not the one who asked to be born into this world. Instead she is the most beautiful treasure I have in the world, the best gift my wife gives to accompany my lonely days with all her cuteness, and mischief.
Haaah... It hurts, I don't even remember how he was when the baby..! what I have done first, is very inexcusable.for that I will make up for it in any way to make my Daughter happy!!' he closed his eyes with his arm. "Haah.., Arabella my wife, I miss you so much Arabella.. Arabellais.. Ara.bel.."
After tired of crying.. Lannox fell back asleep in a arms of regret.
The sky is dark, the sun is back.
***
In palace.. The Emperor sat in silence. The dark atmosphere of the room is accompanied by a supportive silence.. Make her comfortable without distractions. He smiled and spoke in his heart.
'I'll see you soon, I can't wait to see how you're doing?'
