THE COLD DAD
WHAT REASON?

"What are you thinking about my son?" muttered the soft voice of the long-haired lady, then she sat down on the sofa gracefully.

"I-mom..!! Since when is Mom here??"

"You still haven't answered Mother's question, My child!" the Queen looked gently at her son.

Argus came to sit next to his mother.. While twitching his head that felt dizzy, thinking about the many problems that occurred in the Mansion, which he had to deal with.

"I guess, Mother must have known what was on my mind! without saying it."

"Come here.."

The queen patted her thighs slowly, signalling that her beloved Son was lying on her lap.. Argus obeyed him.

The very motherly Queen, stroking Argus' head with tenderness, while looking at her Son with sorrow.

"Heah.. Son, I know a lot you're thinking. But nevertheless.. What I'm going to talk about this time, is nothing else.it's about how you feel about the little princess!" the Queen said, staring out the window.

"How Does Mother Know?" asked Argus in shock.

"Mother doesn't ban you from anyone, son! but preferably.. For your own good, throw away your feelings for the little princess! Because my mother doesn't want you to feel disappointed with my son." she smiled gently.

Hearing the words of the Mother whom he loved and respected, Argus was silent for a moment. Then back to the Queen.

"What's the reason? So my mother told me to forget her!" he still finds out the implied wishes of his mother.

"Because the beautiful Princess you like, is a Goddess in Divination."

"In Divination! Mean Mother.. The Goddess who will be the ruler of all Goddesses..!!!" said Argus immediately woke up from the lap of the Queen, in surprise.

Argus jerked, but.. Then, a faint smile appeared on both corners of her lips.

'It was only fitting that his aura was so different from other children his age.. Even her beauty was second to none, even though she was a child. Finally, I met someone who could match Mom.. No. gabe.. No. even more than Mother!' he thought smiling in amazement.

Seeing the smile of happiness of his son, who seemed to have just found a treasure. The Queen immediately gave her son a warning.

"Son, I know what's on your mind right now! But you better forget your hidden intentions.. My son."

"No Ma'am.. At first I doubted my feelings for him! But nevertheless.. After knowing and hearing it directly from Mother!!

I was determined, and would not stop pursuing him. Until she really belongs to me Mother!" he murmured confidently.

A look of sadness appeared on the Queen's face, she already knew what her Son was going to do.. After knowing this.

"Mother expected it, it will definitely be like your reaction My Treasure! But listen carefully to the words of Mother Nak. Before your feelings spread too deep, you should forget about the Goddess.

Because he wasn't meant for you, even though you cried tears of blood..! It will never be yours, my Son."

Argus was disappointed that his mother did not support him.. He then grabbed the Queen's hands, and held them in pleading.

"I beg ma'am.. Let me have it!! give me a chance to prove it to my mom.

I promise, will try to get his attention and affection just for me.. If I succeed, will Mom approve!!"

Looking at the gaze of his Son, who was already filled with a unanimous determination. Queen, can only sigh while muttering.

"Heah... Tell you what my son is, if you did manage to get the little Goddess' heart just like you said! Mother will bless the relationship between the two of you, however, only when the day of the little Goddess has reached adulthood.

And, if you fail to get her heart.. You must be ready to be paired with the girl of your choice, your mother, and your father! How's Nak?"

Argus pondered for a moment, he disliked being in a match with a girl who was not his own choice. But, because he felt challenged, Argus also responded without thinking long.

'Hem.. I don't like to be married, but on the one hand.. This is a tempting offer, even imagining he is an adult.. I've been very happy, especially if it really happened, and he managed to be mine!!'

"Alright Ma.. I approve. And if I succeed, may I have our wedding party, for a whole month!!" argus said with confidence.

The Queen sighed again, shaking her head, looking at her Son's overreaction.

"Alright, whatever your wish is, your mother will fulfill. Mother would approve.. But, do not be too happy first My Son, this kind of nature will always end in disappointment. Least.. Your mother reminded you, son."

Suddenly there was a voice of someone calling out to the Queen, worried!

"My wife... My wife's... My mom....! Where are you???" call the King, who can only be heard by the Queen herself.

Realizing that the Husband lost his figure.. The queen smiled and immediately said to Argus.

"Ah, it seems. It's time for Mom to come back, son. Starting today.. Whatever happens next! you must bear the consequences of your own actions, son.

And, come back breastfed, never any grudges! Because it has become your destiny. Mom will always be watching you, son!

Yet.. Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching both.. From his throne. Smiling at the knot.

'Hem, as always.he was always being wise.' The God said.

"Good Mom.. I will definitely remember it." said Argus while holding the Queen's hand, which was on her face.

Shortly after hearing Argus' words, the Queen disappeared from view. Only Argus remained, in the silence of the room filled with many piles of documents on the table. He seemed very happy, and resumed his work.

***

In the Elf palace, seeing the absence of the Queen, the King sat pensively on his single lips.

"Where are you mina..? Why did you just leave without listening to me..!!"

Shortly after the King said, the Queen immediately appeared and walked up to the King, and sat down beside him while embracing the arms of King Faran, who seemed to be upset.

"You're looking for my husband?"

"Chey, where have you been Mina.. Why don't you say anything, and just leave me without listening to my explanation first!" muttered King pout.

"Sorry baby, I know everything, so you don't have to explain anything to me. I'm talking about visiting our son."

"Hem.. You mean Argus!!" asked the King, frowning.

The queen nodded while embracing her husband's arm.. He rested his head on the shoulders of King Faran.

"really.. He looked like he was on a bloom, but unfortunately the feeling was just a one-handed clap." Queen Mumbles with Sendu.

"What do you mean, darling?" the king held the Queen's hand.

"Argus loved the Princess of his own Master.. And that princess is no ordinary princess."

"A Princess of Her Master.. Since when did Argus enter into a contract?"

King Faran looked confused, and only found out that his Son was already under contract, having heard the words of his Wife.

"Is the Master a human being?"

"Hem.."

"It is fitting that he rarely comes home, even to the point of falling in love with all humans..! Is he rejecting an arranged marriage because of that?"

"No, this has nothing to do with the problem! He had just started planting seeds, not even sprouting buds yet.

But after I tell you the truth.. I'm afraid that buds will soon grow and become less and less easily controlled." said the Queen worried.

"Let it be Mina.. Our son is grown, it is time he chose his own path. If it fails, at least later he complained and cried in the corner of the room, because of heartbreak." said the King was indifferent.

"Hm.. Your words and actions are very different, my dear. I was afraid that when it happened, you were the one I was most worried about! You'll do anything to cheer her up."

"Ehem.. I wouldn't like that." he pretended to cough. "But Mina.. You said she was no ordinary princess! What does it mean to not be an ordinary princess??" asked King Faran Curious.

...****************...

"What do you mean?" Lannox asked curiously, in a non-Formal language, because there were only three of them.

"Just look at it I know right away, if your daughter is so special. He's the kid in the prophecy, isn't he?" king Zavier.

"How do you know, my daughter's the child in the prophecy?!"

"Have you forgotten my ability Lan!! I can see anyone's future, when I touch it." said the King leaned on the back of the sofa, folding both hands.

The queen, who had been listening silently since then, now let out her voice.

"If what Zavier said was true! you have to be careful, Lan. Because if anyone knows the truth.. Your son will be the target of those who thirst for power.

Not only that, the Witches who may have known this will definitely seek its existence.will act more aggressively to seize it, even the Gods also want it." said Queen Annora.

"It's just a matter of time, until this is fully revealed. To it.. Before that happens, we must also find a solution to protect your daughter." continued the King.

"Right, Princess Bella.. Our daughter also." continued the Queen again, while the King nodded in agreement with his Wife.

"Hem.. I am so grateful to you both. I've been thinking about it for a long time.. I've always wondered about this.

Can you tell me, why the Gods are also after the Child in Divination!?" lannox asked, to both.
