THE COLD DAD

THE COLD DAD
WHO IS HE, DAD??


The Ergben state palace.. The Emperor was lying on a long sofa.. There was a knocking sound from outside the door.


"Tock.. Geck.. Clickable. Sire, what was so important that you called me?" ask Daskal, who just came in.


The Emperor was lying down, with a book covering his face. Heard Daskal's question.. The Emperor got up and sat leaning back while folding his legs.


"Hm.. I want you to pass on my message to Little Princess Duke, because in ten days, I will come visit her" the Emperor said with a smile.


'Hm.. So it was time for him to visit..!' Daskal glanced at the Emperor, who seemed to be smiling at the thought of something. "Do you miss him so much, Sire!!"


Hearing the bold question from Daskal, Raffael immediately stared intently. "It's none of your business."


'Surprisingly, he is sometimes friendly, but in the same time he can also turn cruel. I must be careful to speak.' he lamented to see the figure of the Emperor who could not be guessed. "haah.. All right, sire, then I'll take care of it soon." Daskal left the Emperor's room, confused.

In the dreamland. "Another thing.. What'sthat?" Tanya Lannox looked worried.


"You know Lan.. Portal to the Monster dimension, which our Princess has created! It's now open again."


"What do you mean, Arabel..? I still don't understand!!"


"Do you remember the time of the battle against the witches and monsters, back then.. Our daughter fought alone to protect you, and the others!!"


Lannox sifted through what his wife said, holding his chin while recalling what had happened.


"Yes.. I just remembered it, after that.. Our daughter disappeared without a trace."


Arabella smiled at him, because she already knew who had healed her daughter at that time.


"You're right, honey.. The portal has now reopened. So starting in the future, you must be careful with its sudden appearance. Because the Portal can appear suddenly anytime and anywhere.


Its appearance was unpredictable, not even the Spirits could penetrate it. Unless it's just one person, and you can count on it."


Looked at the relief on Lannox's face.. And he seemed excited to hear it.


"Say my wife, who is she? I'd do anything to bring our daughter back." Lannox looked excited.

Inside the Mansion, worries ensued.Spirits gathered to find out the circumstances.


"Is the condition okay cake?" ask Zion to worry.


"You don't have to worry about my granddaughter, this kid is fine." Zaku said to calm his grandson.


"Then why didn't he wake up, Kek! Hasn't it been two days. If he's not sick, then why is he still asleep? I've never seen him like this?!" Said Zion, who was worried about the state of the Master.


"Calm down my grandson, hem. I'd better leave now, not only are you worried about this boy..! Guys, come on." Zaku felt the presence of another figure.


Hearing Zaku's words, the others who also felt his presence, nodded in agreement and in an instant disappeared. Just leaving behind the figure of Zion, and the Master who was still soundly asleep.


Shortly after the four Spirits left, someone else appeared and made Zion fed up with her existence, which she thought was very disturbing. But he could do nothing, for both had the same Master.


"What happened to the Cat Master?? I heard from the servants, that Master is sick. Is that true?" asked Argus who also looked worried.


"Oh, obviously Master doesn't hurt." Said Zion, who also did not know the cause.


"It doesn't hurt.." said Argus as he looked at the Master's body lying down. 'Hm.. There are no injuries to the Master's body.' Argus saw the Duke's entire organ, with his eyes. "Then.. How many days has he been like this?"


"What about the Princess? Does the Princess know the Master's condition!!" Asked Argus who was also curious, because he did not see his figure for several days.


"Hem.. Since when do you care about Princess Master?" Zion began to suspect.


Zion who already knew if Argus, all this time never interested in the state of the Princess, even though he heard the evil rumors that circulated freely in the mansion, the, but suddenly now Argus was talking about it.


Seeing Zion's sensitivity, Argus quickly reasoned, with a suspicious body gesture.


"A.. Haha.. I, just worried about his situation. Must be the Princess Master is very sad."


"You've never been interested in her existence, why suddenly you care?" Zion probed, because she felt a lie, from every sentence that came out of Argus' mouth.


"Heah.. Why the hell do you like to be suspicious of me!! Though I was well-intentioned, and had no intention whatsoever with the Princess." replied Argus casually.


"Good then, you'd better hold your word. Because I never once believed in you, elf boy." Said Zion ketus, and firmly.


"Why do you hate me so much? Oh.. Do you not-don't you be jealous of me, because Master cares more about me, than you!!" Argus was sarcastic.


"Whatever you say!! But I warn you, don't try to touch Princess Master." Said Zion with a threatening tone.


"The Khe.. Are you threatening me ugly cat! What right do you forbid me?? Don't tell me you like Princess..!" Argus began to feel challenged by Zion's words, his tone as if affirming if he was jealous, with the Prohibition of Zion.


Argus expression that looked ordinary.. Now he is beginning to show his true nature. Zion who saw the change suddenly after mentioning the Princess, then grinned showing her fangs.


"Heheh... So this is your true nature? Good, that way I won't hold back anymore. GGGDRR.... GGGGRRRRR.." The pressure from the two Spirits, making the Duke's room fall apart, was due to the opposite aura coming out from the two.


Suddenly the atmosphere inside the room turned tense and chaotic, Zion and Argus both began to be provoked by emotions, just because of a trivial matter.


"Hohoho.. So now you're asking me to fight huh..!! Alright From now on I won't hold back either, Let's go out so as not to disturb Master. Wush.."


In an instant the two disappeared and appeared in the middle of the second field, an open training area adjacent to the military forces dormitory. The sudden appearance of the two made the troops surprised, because both of them seemed to be fighting violently, causing many large explosions around them.


***


"Isn't that the two Noble Spirits.. What happened to those two?? If they practice I'm still understand. But.. This is not an exercise! It seems that the two Spirits, are fighting!!" Said one of the soldiers, who was watching the tension.


"You're right, but according to what I heard from the core troops. The two of them actually never get along, every time they meet there will definitely be a quarrel." continued the others.


"Hey.. Oi.. That's not the case now, you guys take a good look with your eyes, don't use your mouth. Isn't the area where they are fighting right now, too close to our dorm!! If such a big explosion continues.. What's in our dormitory can be destroyed." said the others who just arrived, because they heard the fanfare of the soldiers.


"Ah, you're right.. To avoid the possibility that happened, we should all save ourselves.. And get away from the dorm first. If things have calmed down, then we come back here again." another suggestion.


"Aren't we supposed to report this matter to His Majesty!!" said the other.


"Hem.. Then one of us must go to the ministry, to immediately report this matter to His Highness Duke."


"Let me." bargain the others.


"Alright, then we should leave now too."

"Who is he, Dad??" ask her with red cheeks.
