THE COLD DAD
THEN.. WHY DIDN'T YOU CATCH HIM?
'There's What Jura.. Why do you look pale?' ask Gira.
'Friends, upon arrival we're here.. Your face immediately changed, are you not well?' keep Saga, Worry.
'no, I'm fine.' said Jura not wanting to make the two friends, worried.
'But Jura.. Don't you feel suspicious of this kid?' tanya Gira who also felt the dangerous Energy.
'Hem.. I feel like I know the Aura of this child..!!' saga made the two look at her.
'What do you mean?' ask Gira.
'Come on, maybe it's just my feeling. And this kid doesn't come alone either, you feel it too, right? See how you reacted just now!!' saga told Jura.
'So that makes you pale because of that?' Said Gira who just understood, with the situation. 'Hem.. I am not surprised, because you are more sensitive than us.' continued Gira again.
'This is just my prejudice.. To be sure, in this room there is not only us.' said Jura, but he did not mention clearly, what he felt.
After that Jura kept silent while holding hands, He watched Raffael in silence. While muttering in the heart.
'I'm sure this boy's teenage form is a disguise! and I don't have much trouble with this kid. Even though he had a huge Magic Aura. But nevertheless.. The ones following this kid are much more dangerous.
Even I felt an extremely powerful Energy from him, he was more dangerous than that Elf boy. I'm sure the source is on that boy!' Mumbled Jura, while paying attention to Raffael.
Suddenly there came the cry of the Guard, speaking to the Third Spirit.
'Kids.. No need for me to tell you guys too, I would already know!!'
'Yes, we feel it.'
'But, hehe.you guys will definitely be surprised by what I will say this..!'
Although the Guard was on Ravella's side, and only focused on paying attention to the two human children. But in silence, the Guard also kept an eye on the situation inside the room.
'Say the obvious, don't make us guess something we don't know!' gira said, urging the Guard.
'I'll tell you later.' he hung up, making the three growled. But they can't do anything now either.

Elsewhere, at the same time, Luke walked in a crowded area. Then he turned towards the small alley and disappeared. Luke enters the dimensional space in the alley, as Luke enters the dimensional space.
Looks like a big fountain pool.. The teacher was standing facing the pool. He was wearing a black robe, then stood up while folding his hands back.
Looking at the Teacher he had not seen for a long time.. Luke came to the Master. He looked around the place, seen the flowers Rose Pink bloomed, lined up to decorate the place.
"You've reached my students?" Julius spoke as he folded his arms back, and turned his back to Luke.
"Yes, Master." Luke approached Julius, and he stood beside his Master.. And watch the fountain.
"Guru's good hiding place..! Then how is the condition of His Majesty now? Is he okay.. After hearing everything that happened in the Palace??"
"Heah.. It might have been hard at first, when he heard that the kingdom that had grown up with him had now become someone else's. But nevertheless.. He looked much better than when he was King."
"Hem.. What does Teacher mean?" luke asked, looking at the Master.
"He had accepted it with a free heart, he also forbade anyone to discuss Degrees as King. Because he had already thrown away the name." Julius smiled.
"Well, I am also not surprised at that Master, after facing the Emperor directly! I can understand why He gave up his country and his position as King. So, can you just shorten it. What does Master want to know from me?"
"How are you, and the conditions in the palace??" julius said while looking at Luke.
"haaah.. As Master knows, our position is also being squeezed at the moment, because our movements are always being watched by the Emperor."
"Then..how did you get out of the palace??"
"Hem.. Hem.. Puuk-puuk, I understand. You're the only student I can count on Lukas. Guide your two friends, for you are the most senior of them." Julius tapped Luke on the shoulder.
"Don't beat around the bush, you better tell me what Teacher means?" urged Luke who began to be suspicious, with the attitude of his Master.
"Maybe, this will be our last meeting, Luke."
"No, what is Teacher talking about?? Are you just going to leave us..!" annoyed screams.
"My disciple, you know for yourself, I have no chance of coming back. Because the Emperor won't let me just like that. I heard the Emperor is still searching for our whereabouts.
And now, the atmosphere feels so calm, but that doesn't mean he's letting us off the hook.. It's just a tactic to make us believe that we're safe. I completely understand such a mindset..!
And I also don't know what will happen to me later..? Whatever it is! I hope you don't repay him. For your true enemy is among you. You must understand what I mean!!"
After Julius said what he wanted to say.. He soon left Luke, pensive to himself in helplessness.. And his voice sounded from a distance while waving without looking back.
"If I were alive, fate would bring us back together. Take good care of your students, give my regards to others.. And take my eye for all three of you."
Shortly after the Master's last sentence, three Rings appeared in Luke's trouser pocket. Luke felt something in his pocket.. He then checked it. There are three black rings in the circle, and there are three names. (ARLO, ZORA, AND LUKE.)
Just as Luke wanted to ask what the Ring was for, Julius ceased to exist, and disappeared.
'Why did Master make this Ring? it looks like it's made of Dragon's fingernails! How could Master know the size of our hands?' He looked at the Ring, then at the place where his Master had disappeared! 'I will always pray for you Master. Haaah.. It's time for me to return, before the Illusion magic I created disappears.'
Soon Luke was out of the dimension, and back on a special horse-drawn carriage, a transport of goods for the Palace's kitchen.

In the shadow world.. Zion was lying with her chin on her two big hands, the Young Lion heard all Lannox said.
'I didn't think the boy was smart enough to catch my point! Then I don't have to worry anymore. He knows it too without me saying.
Where is Grandpa, by the way? It has been a few days, I have not seen his whereabouts!? Huh.. I don't know, I'll think about it later, I'd better get some sleep now.'

After talking with Ravella, Raffael finally returned, but he did not return to the palace! He went to the Capital to buy a simple two-story house, so that its traces were not suspected. And he would stay for a whole month in the country, so that during his existence he could always visit Ravella.
After buying it, they immediately lived in the House, while the others were in order, Raffael sat on the lip of the window near the attic of the house.. The birds were flying on the roof.
Meanwhile Razak.. Who was watching his Master smiling to himself, muttered to him.
"Baginda.. Do you not feel the existence of another being? when we're at the Princess' Mansion."
"What do you mean?" Raffael asked directly throwing a glance at Razak.
"I sensed there were three Weasels watching us."
"Then.. Why didn't you catch him?" Ask Raffael ketus.
"Hem.. Didn't His Majesty forbid me to make a mess!?" razak smiled calmly, folding both hands.
"Really! Do they know who I am??"
"It seems not, yet they can sense my existence."
"Why don't you hide your whereabouts?"
"Hehe.. Because I only want to warn the three Weasels, that way they will not dare to mess with Your Majesty." he grinned.
"Hem.. Hem.. Razak's good work, you can always count on. But.. By the way do they have anything to do with my Bride Candidate??"
