THE COLD DAD
RAVELLA WAS CRYING

The large black vortex opened wide in the middle of the lake.. Inside the vortex, a human appeared, wearing a shabby robe. There was a long black stick in his right hand.

The tip of his staff resembled a human skull, the shabby-robed Witch, walking.. Then fly in the air. He looked up at the hill, from a distance the figure of a handsome man dressed in all black, standing alone was staring intently at him.. Seeing that he was ringing.

Jura was watching his figure from the top of the hill, as he was on standby watching the atmosphere around.. A few seconds later, Lannox appeared and approached her in a panic.

"You're here apparently..! Where's my daughter??" asked Lannox, wailing to look for the whereabouts of his favorite Princess.

"You just calm down.. He was in a safe place now, Gira had taken him to the Mana Zone." explained Jura who looked still calm.

"Heah.. Mercifully. Then..who's that shabby witch?" asked Lannox curiously, while staring at Focus on the witch, who had only been seen silently watching them, he did not budge from the place or attack.

"Come on, but look at her figure.. He seemed to be hiding his power. But is there something strange about him?" jura said, watching the witch.

"What do you mean?" ask Lannox again.

"I sense there's a God Presence here..!!" jura said, but his eyes were staring wildly like they were looking for something around him. "It is only that he is hiding his existence."

"You're right! I feel it too. This horrible feeling, it's just.. This energy felt different to the God we were facing back then!" connect Lannox, frowning. "Sad, shit, this really sucks." he said, grieving.

Jura just silenced, hearing the curse of the Father from his Master. He pondered for a moment. 'Most likely, this is one of the tests your Majesty meant, for us..! Fighting the Witch is easy.

However, that is the case right now, if our enemy is a God himself!!' he thought of the message of Lord Zando.

'I still doubt, even though Old Fox Rabarus has been reborn in a perfect form with unlimited strength. But nevertheless.. He was still no match for the Gods!

Last time when he fought the God Algudof, his bones were broken and his condition was very sad. If we were a little late, he might have become a corpse.

But fate says something else, behind the incident.. There is an implied meaning that we do not understand.. Maybe this has been all planned for you since the beginning. It is impossible that everything could happen by chance!' Jura struggled with his own thoughts.

Jura narrowed his eyes, studying every incident they had ever been through. After he thought back about the incident.. He became convinced that all this was a test of the god Zando.

'If you think about it again, it all makes sense. Haaah.. O Lord of the Great Gods! Who the hell are you, anyway? The more I think about you, the more confused I get..!?' he murmured in the heart.

GOD ZANDO

While in a mysterious place that is not reached by anyone.. The figure of Lord Zando grinned when he heard the contents of his heart, Jura thought.he sat watching everything from the top of his throne.

Lord Zando sat with his chin on one of his hands.. Watching everything while grinning. "Hm..Hmm.., Yoke... Tuk... Tuk...Tuk... Tuk.." the tap of his finger filled the silent silence.

"The boy was observant.. I'll see what you're gonna do! This is my first test for those kids.

Prove that you are worthy of being my Empress's protector..!" his murmur was ambiguous to witness everything.

In the midst of tension, that is unsettling! The figure of Argus appeared immediately greeting Lannox. "Master, what happened?" he said that just arrived.

"No need to ask, you already know what they want..!" lannox said holding hands, watching his enemy sharply.

Just deserve.. Suddenly I felt a very terrible vibration coming from the direction of the well!" he said that he had just appeared, then walked over to the Master, who was standing beside Jura.

Secretly Argus glanced at Jura, his eyes narrowed sharply when he saw the figure of the mysterious Man. Unlike Argus, the man dressed all in black, tall and handsome, did not respond to his presence, as if he was not interested at all with the appearance of Argus.

'He..! Wasn't he the Man of the time? what exactly does this have to do with the Goddess and Master!!? They look very familiar. Where was the man with her at the time?

That time! I saw him coming alone with the Man holding the Goddess. As if they were familiar and familiar for a long time.' his murmur probed inwardly, he recalled back when he first saw Jura and the Guard.

***

While at Headquarters, Rabarus was leaning against a large window. He looked out, watching the weather that had returned to normal. In his heart he felt an unpleasant feeling..!

But he still did not know, what feeling made him restless at this moment. He who is sitting with his hands, while tapping his fingers on his left arm.

He looked down at the grass swaying in the wind.. Then muttered in my heart.

'Eum..., why is my feeling bad! What exactly happened...?' As Rabarus is preoccupied with his agitated feelings, Gira suddenly appears with a panicked face.

Rabarus looked at Gira who was bending her knees, holding both of Ravella's shoulders. He listened without asking why.

"Son Goddess.. Can you just leave us both alone." she told Ravella.

"What happened, Kek? It's not like Grandpa promised me that once we get here.. Grandpa will tell you everything." she demanded Gira's answer.

Gira's expression turned wrinkled, He recalled the words of the Emperor and Jura. That forbid telling his master, about what happened. 'Shit, how's this..? What else the Emperor had forbidden was telling what had happened.' he thought puzzled by his Master's question.

Rabarus could read the situation, and hear the outpouring of Gira's heart.. Start making movements and get down from the window he sits in. Then come to approach both.

He stands between the two.. And raised one eyebrow, staring tiredly at the two. Rabarus took a deep breath, looking at the two who were holding each other to their respective principles.

"Haah.., Goddess boy, you mustn't be this selfish. They must have a good reason why they can't be honest with you. And that's what they're doing just to protect you from harm.

You must learn to be sensitive in this matter, son! Have they ever forced you to talk? When you yourself can not say anything." said Old Man Fox reminded firmly again, what had happened in the castle.

He looked at Ravella.. He began to react with his words. Watching this, Gira did not like the Master, so turned moody.

"Can't you speak well to my goddamn Master!" upset ass.

"Heah.. It turns out that adulthood does not guarantee a person to be smart!" rabarus insinuated Gira.

Not yet finished he spoke, Rabarus directed his hand before Gira, so as to stop interrupting the conversation. "You shut up, snake boy.. As someone much older than you two, it's appropriate that I behave like this.

And where is your manners? When the parents are talking, you should not cut the conversation. That's called disrespectful.

Hear.. Son Goddess, turn back the initial ketopic. Now I change positions, and ask you back! Why are you crying while you're on Elf land? And why do you just shut up when asked by your spirit? Wh..."

"Old Sister.. Stop that!" snapped Gira, cutting off the words of Rabarus, who urged forcefully, His master without giving him the slightest pause to answer. Looks Ravella's eyes began to red because in the insistence of Rabarus without stopping.

Rabarus gave a quick glance at Gira, then he ignored her and continued speaking. Do you know how worried they are about you? For thinking of your miserable state, who refused to say anything.

To the point that they don't dare to see you just out of fear that you're still mad at them. If you really love them and consider them your family! you will not act stubbornly like that." he rebuked still with gentle intonation, however, containing sharp and cold words.

The tears that he had been holding.. It is slowly coming out, feeling guilty. He did not refute the words of Rabarus in the least, for that was the fact that he had made his Spirit worried.

He has acted selfishly without realizing it, because all this time he only thought about his own feelings. While he has made many people worry about it.

"Hiks.. Hix.. Ma-ma-hiks.. Forgive H-hiks.. I-i'm sorry! I-I-I unknowingly have made everyone worry. I-I'm sorry for not thinking grown up.. Hix.. Hiks.." Ravella's crying broke.

Gira who did not reach the heart, directly touched the cheeks of his little Princess who he loved. Gira Removes wet tears on both cheeks.

"It's okay, baby, you have every right to do anything. Because it is our duty as your Spirit Nak." explained Gira then grabbed the fragile little body into his arms.

"Hua... Hix.. Hix.. I promise I won't be e-not selfish anymore. I-I said I thought you were my family! But I who unconsciously, even hurt the feelings of those closest to me.

I'm sorry, Cake! Hix.. Hix.. I admit wrong.." he sobbed.

Gira hugged him, and rubbed his back slowly. "it's okay baby, we never took heart, with what you did. Because you're the Princess and the Master we love." Gira calmed him down.

But without Ravella knowing, Gira stared intently at Rabarus. And swearing through his mind. Because he knew Rabarus could hear his thoughts.

'Damn You Old Man? How dare you make our beloved daughter cry for nothing.' she was not happy, with what Rabarus did.

But instead of being deterred, Rabarus emphatically said..

'From this moment on, I will not only educate you Spirits, but will also behave similarly to the Goddess if the Goddess acts outside the boundaries. because it's for his good in the future and for you too.'

'But it's not like this.. Damn it, did you not see how sad he was because of what you said just now.'

'Haah.. That is precisely your fault, gentle children. You indulge him, and let him do anything even if it's wrong. Don't you think, your affection is like that!

In fact, it will turn him into a spoiled and selfish person.. If he has grown up he will not be good, but will instead become arrogant and will behave arbitrarily on his own.

His character.. It must be forged early on, so that later it becomes a humble and kind person. Remember this message, son, baby. But it has to be in its place. You should be able to separate what is personal and what is not.

Blind love, will only give birth to disaster. whereas pure love dares to rebuke a mistake, even though you love him very much because he does not want it to go the wrong way.

A mistake that you let on the basis of your disbelief will end up backfiring for yourself. Educating to make it better it should be.' Rabarus, who had always acted wisely, was now firmly in place.

'Now, let me talk to him alone. Can you leave us a minute?' rabarus said, to Gira.

Gira.. Take a deep breath, and let go of his embrace. To make room for both to speak. But before he left, he warned Rabarus.

'Don't make her cry again, if it happens again.. I will fight my life with you. And don't be long, 'cause I also have important things to talk to you about.' Gira gave a warning to Rabarus, after which he passed away leaving both of them.

'Basic, stubborn boy.' he thought shaking his head, staring at the back of Gira who had drifted away.

Now he refocused on the little princess, who was looking down quietly. But deep down, he actually did not have the heart to hear Ravella's cry.

'Am I being too hard on him...! But if I don't act like this, he will continue to urge gira. While the child also cannot be honest, because this is an order from Your Majesty.

It is natural that he cries, despite having a mental adult, does not mean he has grown up. He is still a child who needs guidance from parents.'

Rabarus stroked the top of Ravella's head gently.. 'Sister Goddess.. I rebuke you, not because I'm mad at you. But I do it because I love you like my own daughter. However, if I keep quiet.. That's a sign I don't care about you.

So, I hope you understand what I mean, son! I don't want you to be selfish just because you're their owner!

From now on, I will educate you like my own daughter.. But if you feel uncomfortable or do not like it, you can refuse it." said Rabarus, wiping the remaining tears left on Ravella's cheek.

Ravella who had just lowered her head silently after, calmed Gira down. Now he lifted his head, and looked fixedly at Rabarus. He noticed the depth of Rabarus' eyes, a sincerity in his eyes.. Emitting firmly and deeply.

The face is still puffy, because of crying.. Now show the light. He smiled gently at Rabarus, and muttered.

"After hearing Grandpa's words just now! I came to my senses and knew my mistake, because no one had reprimanded me all along, if I was wrong. Except my father..!

Although sometimes the way Dad reprimands and educates me is different from Grandpa.. I'm happy, Grandpa cares about me so much, and wants to rebuke me.

From a past life, until I was reborn as a Princess Duke.. Only the first Grandpa acted decisively to me.

Thank you for reminding me, keep going like this.. Let me know what to do, and what not to do. As long as it makes sense I'll take Grandpa's advice.

But Grandfather also had to be patient with my attitude, which I sometimes could not control. Even I can act recklessly outside my control, especially if something I believe in is an unquestionable truth.

I also don't know, is it because of this small body..! So my feelings that were initially calm, can sometimes be explosive, because they are carried away by emotions!" she said plainly while looking at her two small hands.
