THE COLD DAD
THE HIDDEN FEELINGS OF GOD ZANDO

After a day of fighting with the Monsters.. Lannox and Icarus sat down for a moment to rest. While making a bonfire.

"It's weird!" icarus said, in the midst of silence.

"Heah.. Whatchu mean?" ask Lannox.

"This place seemed to have been enveloped with a mystical Aura.. And the Monsters that attacked us earlier, like they're under the influence of magic. Don't you feel it, boy?" ask Icarus to make sure.

"Hm.. I don't know, all I know is, I gotta get this damn mission done fast. My time is wasted just because of this fucking problem" he grumbled.

Seeing his Master's grievances, Icarus was astonished! Then speak his mind. "Why are you upset? Isn't this even better, than just sitting quietly bored in your residence." he said with one eyebrow raised.

"Unfortunately it doesn't happen to me anymore.. Because of my Daughter's presence, it made me enjoy every moment with her. Especially when he saw it growing, yes, although not much, but, it was precisely that that made me afraid far from him." he stared blankly at the stretch of trees that occasionally swayed, because it was blown by the wind.

"So you already have a princess, huh? Cih, it's appropriate that you often seem upset, and complain about wanting to go home quickly." Gerrilla Icarus.

"Hm." Lannox only grinned, upon hearing his Spirit ramble, that. Because that's the truth. In his little heart, he was determined to complete the mission.

'I must quickly find the culprit of this mess, I can no longer relax like this..! If I waste a lot of time, I'll lose even more time with my daughter. I don't want it to happen again, and don't want to lose a moment with him.

"Let's go Icarus." he immediately got up, and resumed their journey.

...----------------...

The Western Continent the ERGBEN Empire.. Julius, who is confined and confined to a basement, is now facing off against his former spirit, whom he once left behind as a crash.

Bagzul rang as he watched the agony of his former Master. He walked over to the iron bars, and muttered laughing at Julius' current state.

"Heah.. How does it feel, to be in a place like this Master..? ah, not anymore huh, But Ex Master hahahaha... Hahahaha.." his laughter echoed, filling the room.

Hearing Bagzul's taunts.. Julius immediately replied with a faint smile. Mumbled. "Heeh.. I didn't expect, a Spirit like you, to be subdued with just a brat like him. That's really funny. If I knew you could obey this.. It should have been a long time ago, you I gave to the boy. Hehe.. That way, something like this will not happen to the kingdom." Julius said, triggering embers that have been almost extinguished.

Bagzul is a little emotional, with the words of Julius who deliberately provoked his anger. In the dim space, there appeared a twinkle of torch light burning in the gap of the dividing wall. A dim light fell on part of Bagzul's face. The corner of his lips rose.

"Sadly, dear my new Master, not giving me permission, to touch you. You are very lucky. So laugh at your ass, boy! Rot in this room forever, and I will watch over you, until the end." after saying what he wanted to say, Bagzul immediately left the stuffy room.

After his departure, Julius took a deep breath, and leaned his head against the wall. Looking at the ceiling. He smiled and muttered in his heart.

'Haah.. This is much better, than having to live unsettled, and in the hunt for a lifetime. At least here the boy, just locked me in an anti-magic room.

But why, he didn't kill me right away? Isn't it very easy, for a great magician it seems to obliterate me...!!

***

Inside the palace, to be exact.. The Emperor's office.

Three years had passed, and since then, many days had passed. Emperor Raffael could only once meet him. After that, he never again saw Ravella's face. Under the pretext of the Princess going on vacation.

And every time he came to visit, Argus always appeared, which made him sick. Since then too.. Raffael grew bored and returned the Empire, with a feeling of chaos and disappointment.

Usually he never fails when he wants something, Whatever he wants, he will certainly easily get. But this time it's much different.. He's never felt like this before. Feelings of chaos, worry, annoyance, fear, anger!

All emotions are mixed into one. His successive failures, not making him give up, instead he was increasingly ambitious to have Princess Duke.

And from that very day, Raffael's suspicions grew - so when he saw Argus' reaction, who proudly showed off his position at the Mansion. Until finally.. Razak was sent by Raffael to investigate.

Although Razak, who handled the problem, still failed. So today, the Origin of Argus cannot be known. about who, and from where? It was as if the first traces of its existence had never existed in this world.

And finally.. Since then, the origin of Argus was still a mystery to this day. And now, the Emperor was folding both hands, leaning against the lips of the office window.

Black shoulder-length hair, with bangs that have been elongated. His blue netra view, falling on the green grass.

'It's been three years, how is it now..? I haven't seen him in a long time. Is he growing? Heem.. I can't wait to see it.' he thought with a faint smile. After a few moments of silence, he spoke.

"Get out."

"Wuusha.. I faced His Majesty." a black shadow appeared, behind the Emperor.

"Hows it? Did you bring good news for me..!" he said it was full of pressure.

...🍁🍁🍁🦁🦊🦅🐍🐲🧝‍♀️🍁🍁🍁...

The Mana Zone.. After speaking and making sure all five of his Spirits were fine. Ravella went back to Emperor Zando, who was sitting quietly observing the situation.

"Grandfather.." call it.

"Yes, Goddess." The Emperor replied slowly.

"I'm so glad Grandpa came, but why didn't Grandpa tell me that Grandpa was here?" he's pouting.

God Zando smiled, upon hearing his little Empress grumbling in disappointment before him.

"Heum, the plan is that after seeing these kids, I'll just meet you. But it turns out you came to see me first. hem..hem..by the way, who's the boy that came with you, son?" he pretended not to know.he immediately switched the conversation while, staring intently at Argus.

As the gazes of the two met, Argus felt claustrophobic, like something was gripping his Heart. He immediately turned his eyes in the other direction. Because the gaze of the Golden Dragon had dominated him. Instantly her little heart became wry, with just her gaze alone.

"Ah, yes." 'I almost forgot the whereabouts of this man, here.' thought he who had just realized the whereabouts of Argus. "Argus, let's say he's Emperor Spirit. And this is, Argus." Ravella said.

Hearing the Princess' words, Argus immediately introduced himself. He put his hand on his chest, and slightly bowed respectfully to the Dragon.

"I, Argus." he said politely. However, Argus was astonished by the response of his body! His body suddenly moved on its own, while reserving respect for the Emperor. As if he knew who he was dealing with? In fact, he had no intention of bowing to anyone, let alone the Mana Beast, even though the Golden Dragon was the Emperor.

But unfortunately, his mind was against his ego. 'Weird, this is really weird!! Even in the past when dealing with Grandpa and Grandma, my body did not respond until like this, At them.

But, why did it suddenly become like this..? who is this Dragon really?? Why do I feel that there is something different about him!!' he thought enigmatic, and tried to observe the Emperor.

"I will not explain who I am, for you also know who I am" said the Emperor, briefly.

"Alright, I understand." hearing Emperor Spirit's words, Argus felt, that the Emperor did not like him. But he remained calm, so as not to trigger a riot.

'Damn, who is this Golden Dragon really..? I know he's the Emperor Spirit. Other than its rare and unique color, I'm also sure, there's something more to it than that! But I don't know, what is it?' he thought he was still digesting everything. Argus gaze watched over the Spirits around Princess Ravella, including Zion, and Gapi. However, his suspicions did not show results. So he just watched in silence.

'What else, don't feel like I feel right now! This pressure was really very domineering. My body even felt heavy, as if it was overwritten by dozens of large chunks of rock.' he thought.. While holding that pressure. Don't-don't I'm the only one who feels it..!'

'S-senior, don't you feel anything strange?' tanyanya.

'That's weird! Whatchu mean? I didn't even feel anything, said Zion, looking very relaxed.

'Oh, I-in that case, maybe this is just my feeling.' he immediately cut off their communication.

'Curtain, what's wrong!' he thought, back to being indifferent.

'Damn, I guessed something was wrong..! I guess I am the only one who feels this feeling. I have to be careful of my actions, it could be that he is testing me right now.' he thought trying to smile and calm down.

A few minutes later, Emperor Zando again let out his heavy voice, and all eyes, were only fixed on the two. "Son Goddess, it's time for me to return."

Hearing the words of Emperor Zando, the beautiful face of the originally cheerful little one, was now.The warm smile instantly disappeared in the forced rasping, from his face.

Seeing the reaction of his little Empress, the Emperor smiled gently. Then he approached his little girl, who was now moody. He put his forehead on Ravella. Both of them closed their eyes. While others, just silently watched

And all of a sudden.. Both of them had been somewhere, all of which had turned into a bright white color, and there were only the two of them in that place. Sure oes.. That place, was only in the Emperor's mind.

'Now open your eyes, boy!' the Emperor looked at his little girl, loving.

Ravella slowly opened her two beautiful eyes.. It looked as bright as blood, watching the atmosphere around, which he had never seen anywhere .

'Where is this, Cake?' ask, looking around.

'This place, is in my mind, and only you and I are here now.'

'Then.. Did the others lose us?'

'No, our bodies are still in the Mana Zone, because this is just my mind. So only you and I can see this place. Hem.. Son Goddess, I'm sorry if I've disappointed you. But I don't want to see you like this, moreover there are two boys waiting for me.

While in the Mana Zone, Argus continued to observe and pay attention to the familiarity between the two, which seemed a little strange, to him.

'What's this? It might just be my feeling..!! But, why did I suddenly become so upset, when I saw the closeness of the two of them, who seemed more than just Spirit, and Master? Does no one realize the difference?' thought Argus, grimacing in the heart.

'What Do you mean Grandpa Jura and Grandpa Rabarus??'

'True son, because there's a promise I haven't fulfilled yet, so today I'm going to do it.'

'Eum fast they are invisible, then.. when will Grandpa come back to see me?' Ravella asked, expectantly.

'Hem.. When you think of me, or when you miss me. I will come to see you.' explained the Emperor, comforting the little Empress, her beloved.

'Eum.. Well then, I'll keep thinking about Grandpa every day.. For Grandfather to come see me.' he said as he puffed both of his cheeks, which were adorable.

'Hahaha.. Of course my Deity, I would be very happy if it were like that.' the Emperor laughed loosely.

'What now Grandpa is bullying me!!' ask Ravella, pouty.

'Hum, of course not. I'm really happy, because you're always thinking about me, but, I really need to go now. Don't worry, I'll often end you.' she said, peeping the little Empress's forehead.

Hearing her Spirit's words, the smile that had disappeared, now bloomed again on her beautiful face.

'Really...! Grandfather promise?'

'Of course, honey. Therefore, get rid of your gloomy face, I do not like to see your expression like this.' he said slowly.

At first glance there is sadness, in both highlights of the golden net.

'Alright Cake, I will always wait for you.' he said then.hugging the Golden Dragon.

As Ravella hugged her, a bitter look was drawn on the surface of her face, her little heart suddenly muttered.

{If you knew my suffering! how I miss you so much, my Queen, the feeling of emptiness in the long wait, without your presence by my side, really makes my days always cloudy. The long gaping hole, now filled again, though you were not by my side. And now, you are in my arms.do you know! how happy I was, even more than your happiness, when I met you. Patience, Empress. Not yet the time I brought you.} her little heart murmured softly.

The Mana Zone.. Both of them opened their eyes. No one dared to speak, except for the Emperor, and the Little Princess. But, no one was aware of the gaze from the Elf Prince. Yang had since continued to watch the two with a sharp look, without releasing the two of them from his sight in the slightest. Except for Emperor Zando.

Before leaving, Emperor Zando looked towards the five Spirits, then muttered to them. 'Remember my message children. reflect on your mistakes carefully, if you do not want to get punishment from me.' said the Emperor firmly, to his Fifth Spirit Empress.

The five Mana Beasts who were smiling, immediately bowed in fear, after getting a rebuke from the Emperor. Argus, Gapi, Zion, and Ravella. It was astonished to see the reaction of the five Spirits. The one who was smiling, now became moody and just bowed silently in silence.

"My goddess, see you again" he said, looking back at his Empress.

"Good Cake." after saying goodbye, the Emperor immediately disappeared. And now there are only Spirits, Gapi, and Ravella. After his departure, little heart Ravella murmured.

'I'm sure I didn't see it wrong! his face looks sad. Could it be that Grandpa is having a problem? Heum.preferably, this matter I think about later, It is time to return.' Thought Ravella brushed off the shock.

"Come on, we should also go back Cake" he told the others.

"Good Goddess." said the others simultaneously.

'Oh, their tumbens are compact! they are like soldiers. hem.. hopefully in the future, they can get along better.' he thought passed away leaving the Mana Zone.

Finally, after such a long time, the five Spirits could breathe a sigh of relief, and return to the Mansion.

...----------------...

In the sky palace, the Guard, Jura, and Rabarus. Who heard the return of His Majesty on his throne. Immediately hurry, heading to the Palace room.

"We Face Your Majesty." said the three together.

Without further ado, Zando spoke to Rabarus.

"Rabarus, go ahead." he ordered. Rabarus stepped slowly before the God.

"Today, as I promised you. For protecting my Empress, and her loved ones. I'll give you a present."

Garda and Jura were surprised when they heard the decree, both of them were astonished and exchanged glances, frowning.

'What did he really do? until he can get a gift from His Majesty?' said the Guard, to Jura.

'Something out, I am also as surprised as you are, Old Man.' explained jura, who was also astonished.
