THE COLD DAD
WHERE THERE IS A MASTER, THERE IS US.

After conferring at the round table.. The four men watched from which Zone! The figure of the Master riding on Zion.

"Yes son, we've arrived." Zion said.

Zion changes its shape slightly, Lannox goes down first.. Then carry her daughter. Ravella was surprised to see that the place was filled with many beautiful trees, which lit up brightly during the day.

"Wow.. They are like living! It looks like a Piano Game." Ravella said in amazement.

"Piano Game..! What does my daughter mean?"ask Lannox confused.

'Oups.. I mispronounced, in this world where anyone understands such a game!' thought confused. " l-it.. Ng's? How to explain it! It's a game Dad he.."

Ravella was at a loss to explain it, because in the world she lived in now, there was no such game. After arriving at that place.. Every time the wind blew, each tree was lit up taking turns like it was following the rhythm of the wind.

"Dad, Ravel just found out if there's a place as beautiful as this forest" Ravella said, led by the Father, as they walked.

As for Zion, just silently following from behind, Ravella was sensitive to the situation! Directly speak his mind.

"Grandfather, I've seen Grandpa so much silence. What was Grandpa thinking?" ask Ravella plain.

"There's no dear, I'm just enjoying this beautiful moment of the forest" Zion reasoned, as she occasionally glanced at the Master.

While the Master did not give the slightest response, Lannox simply kept silent. It was as if he was keeping something on his mind.. Zion actually felt very awkward when they kept each other quiet like that.. His words had hurt the Master, But he only said honesty without any offensive intent at all.

"Grandfather's right, this place is so nice isn't it. Then Dad.. Where are we actually going?" asked Ravella, who was still casually walking, following in the footsteps of the Father.

Lannox has not yet answered! Suddenly appeared the four Men, who had only dwelt in the Mana Zone ever since. And upon seeing the presence of the four, Lannox immediately muttered.

"What are you doing here?" lannox asked in surprise, looking at their sudden presence.

"Where is the Master, there is us" said Saga.

"Tumben today you're not busy, son!!" jura said, walking on Lannox's side.

"It's none of your business." said Lannox ketus.

Jura then glanced at Zion, who looked Awkward like never before.!. Seeing that Jura was beating, making the two of them throw their faces at each other.

"What's wrong with you two? Tumben.. You guys don't talk much, are you guys fighting??" jura Fishing.

"God.." Lannoxi.

"Sad.." Zion.

The two throw their faces at each other.. Seeing that the Guard immediately laughed, as the two looked like children's quarrels to him.

"Haha... Fucking boys. You really don't set a good example, in front of our little princess.Are you not ashamed of fighting like this..!" said the Guard glanced at the two.

"True, we have never had a fight with the Goddess, it seems like my Goddess is much more mature than the two of you" continued Gira, making both of them upset.

"Briss...!!!" both of them shouted at the same time.

"haha.. Dad and Grandpa are very compact, you're like one." Ravella's laughter broke seeing the two, having very similar properties.

Seeing the reaction of her Daughter, Lannox and Zion simply fell silent not responding, Before long they arrived at their destination.

"We've reached my daughter" said Lannox, who still leaves Ravella and the others confused, except for Zion.

"Isn't the view here the same as the one before..?" ravella said astonished.

Suddenly Lannox grinned, with Zion.

"Hehe.. Son, you'll be surprised to see it!" zion.

"Nh! What does Grandpa mean?" ravella asked still confused.

"Zion, let's do it." Lannox ordered.

'They in an instant get along just like that.. Right said Kek Garda! they both look like children, fighting and easily making up again, Ravella said.

While the four Men were still astonished, with the attitude of the two who looked mysterious.

"GWAAAARRR.....!!!" Zion turned forward to the other, who was astonished to notice her attitude.. Ravella was carried by her father.

"Dad.. What did Grandpa Zion do??"

"Hem.. You'll know soon enough, darling."

Zion faced the trees, then roared ferociously so that her voice echoed loudly in each forest. And not for long.. The trees were neatly lined up, shifting, as if they were paving the way for them.

The trees separated into two rows, It looks like a road stretched long to deep.

"Let's go in, baby!"

Lannox entered first while holding her daughter, followed by Zion on the Duke's right side. So did the others.. Who followed from behind. And after they entered the place, the trees moved back to how they were, closed the road and disappeared.

"Dad, the woods are gone! how can we go home later?" asked Ravella innocently.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry, honey. Let's go.."

Somewhere else... In the palace library, Luke was sitting contemplating turning the ring that was on his finger.

'I really hope Teacher is okay.. And why did he say as if he knew what was going to happen to him! And why would the Emperor still want to capture the King and Master? the Emperor got what he wanted. He has won and has everything.

His Majesty and Master, too, no longer wanted to be involved in state affairs.. What exactly did the Young Emperor want by making them fugitives of the Empire..??' he thought to ask what the Emperor did.

As he drifted in his mind.. Before long came the figure of his two friends, Arlo patted him on the shoulder.. Makes Luke flinch from his daydream.

"What are you thinking? We called you, you didn't hear me." said Arlo.

Zora pulled out a chair and sat down next to Luke.

"Hem.. Nothing, this.. Take a gift from Master for both of you" he said stalling the two black rings, which bear their names.

"From Master! Strictly speaking.. When did you meet Master?" ask Zora.

At the Mansion, a confused-looking Argus thought about last night's events. He was pacing around in his room, feeling that something was awkward!

'Last night I really slept really well, I don't usually like that! What exactly has happened in this Mansion?? And today I did not see the existence of Master and Zion, not even the existence of the Princess could I feel at all..!! Where exactly did they go..?' He thought to wonder to himself.

Argus had already examined the entire Mansion, and sure enough, the whereabouts of the three he could not find anywhere. So too when he went to ask the guard knights, and the servants. Everyone gave the same answer. "don't know" And when he met the Chief Maid.. He just got a definite answer.

"Ranovs.. Do you know where His Majesty is?" ask Argus to investigate.

"Yes, Your Majesty leave a message for you, this is a message from Your Majesty for you."

Ranov handed him a piece of paper that was still folded neatly, Argus took it from the hands of the Chief Maid. As he opened and looked at the contents of the letter, his expression turned startled.

(WHEN I'M NOT IN PLACE, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE ME TO KEEP THE MANSION.)

"Heah.. It's really troublesome. It seems like Master is really mad at me!"

Hearing argus' words, the Chief Maid smiled and immediately gave Argus a task.

"Well, Your Majesty Argus.. Your task is not only to guard this Mansion, but His Majesty also advised me. If you also have to finish the various documents that have been piled up in the Duke's office." he said with a smile.

"Heah.. What.....!! Until I also have to do that boring job?" He still doesn't believe.

"Right, this is an absolute order from His Highness the Duke, for you. And if you refuse, he'll add it to three months."

"Dam.. It's really a disaster for me, I should have listened to Rudolf's words, not to come to this Emansion." lamented slowly, as I followed Ranov from behind.

Somewhere else.. Still on the way.

'Hem.. Hem.. That kid must be complaining right now?' zion said telepathically with Lannox.

'Just leave.. It's good I gave a very light punishment to him!' the Duke said grinning back.

'Are you sure, that brat can settle the internal affairs in the Mansion?' zion asked Doubtfully with Argus' ability.

'of course.. Even so he was a Prince, and he was also extremely talented. That's why I gave up my job to him.. To take care of the Dukedom.'

'It turns out you're cruel, too. You'd better make him your assistant, so you don't bother taking care of the Dukedom alone.'

'Heh.. I'll think about it later, and again.. It was still nothing compared to my anger, against that impertinent intention!'

'Hehe.. If that I agree with you, you have to work on it and make it until he feels bored, and give up wanting to ask for home. Haha.. I can imagine how the boy would react now! trapped in boredom with troublesome things.' Zion's laughter broke out, making Lannox also ring out to enjoy it.

In mansion..

'Hem.. Why am I suddenly goosebumps!!' said Argus rubbing both arms, who was sitting in the Duke's study, faced with many documents on the table, replacing the Duke's role.
