THE COLD DAD
THE PRINCE'S SUDDEN VISIT

In the sky palace, Jura and Garda, who were watching closely, without blinking a single bit, could only be stunned to see what was going on. The God is sitting on his throne, now he tells Rabarus.

"Rabarus, according to my promise to you, I will reward you with a Cloak made of ETERNAL FLAME. This cloak can protect you from any attack. Come here." call God Zando.

Rabarus, who was still kneeling while listening to the Word from His Majesty, was very happy.he did not expect, if His Majesty still remembered the promise. He thought for the past three years, Lord Zando had forgotten about it and thrown it away. Because after that incident! His Majesty never once called him, but on the one hand, he felt ashamed and did not deserve the gift.

Rabarus stepped forward as he climbed the stairs after the stairs, which were now only one meter away from Lord Zando.. Rabarus bowed his head before the God. Shortly after Rabarus approached, a Red Pure Flame appeared. Out of the hands of God Zando. And that Light of Pure Red Fire, instantly turned to resemble the Fire Cloak.. The robe of Fire flew all the way to the entire body of Rabarus, and in an instant, the White Fire in the body of Rabarus instantly turned into a blazing Red Flame.

Jura and Garda, who witnessed this, were amazed at an instant. 'What? The robe of the Eternal Flame..! why do you, your Majesty, have to give such a precious robe, as a gift?? what did the fox boy do? so that he could receive such a special gift! which I think is a great exaggeration, if it is given only to a young Fox King like him!!' thought the Guard, feeling astonished. His little heart refused to accept the reality of seeing what he had just witnessed.

Unlike the Guard, Jura was the opposite of him. He felt amazed as well as amazed, when he saw the Old Man who had been considered as his teacher, unceasingly made a surprise.

'Hem. I feel proud to have become his disciple. I don't know what the old man did? so that he received the most desired reward by most Spirit Kings.' thought Jura.

'As far as I know, the IMMORTAL FLAME ROBE. is a very rare cloak of existence! although the rumors had circulated widely to the generations, however, no one had ever seen the Existence of the Fire Cloak. It is said that even God's attack will have no effect in front of the Cloak.

And anyone who can have it, they can be considered equal to God and who would have thought! The story that I thought was just a fairy tale, turned out to be true.I can now see it directly. The cloak I thought was just an empty story, is now true.

And even more strangely, the Cloak that has been most in search of its existence, turns out to be in the hands of the Lord. Who is Your Majesty, actually? how could he have it...? Cih, what do you think Jura...? Stupid jerk. It is only natural that he has it, because he is a God.' he said to be begrudging himself. 'You're very lucky Old Man..!' murmured Jura, in the heart.

The god Zando, who could hear everything, was silent only in the quiet, with an expression of his mysteriousness. After receiving the Cloak, the body of Fire, which was once just ordinary Fire, has been turned White since the resurrection of Rabarus, from his death. And now.His Sacred Fire body, turned again into blood red. However, the Red Flame on his body was currently.. It was even much darker than his first Fire body.

Seeing the changes in his Fire body.. Rabarus was very happy, his fire body was once red.. Now it has come back with a much darker color than before. However, behind it all, his little heart felt inappropriate, now he muttered to express what he was feeling to His Majesty.

"Paduka sta.. I am very grateful to have been entrusted with receiving this very special gift, but.. Do I deserve it? as for what the servant did, it is not worth this gift Your Majesty!!" rabarus felt ashamed, to himself.

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

A week had passed since the incident in the Mana Zone. After the return of the Spirits to the Mansion. Before long.. Ranov calls Argus, to Duke's study. And handed him a letter.

"What are you calling me Ranov..?" Argus, who had just entered, immediately sat down on the long Sofa, while folding both of his legs.

"Your Majesty, there is something important that I have to tell you" he said, opening his desk drawer.

"Quick say, what is Ranov? Don't make me wait." said Argus impatiently, because he didn't want to be far from the Princess' side.

Ranov immediately handed over the letter in his hand to Argus.

"What's this?" asked Argus, looking at the letter in Ranov's hand.

"Go ahead, you'll know soon after you see it." said Ranov, politely extending the letter.

"Hem.. Why would my hunch say, if I took it.. My days will be shit!!" her chirps narrowed her two beautiful eyes, which were as calm as the lake, while looking suspiciously at Ranov. Ranov, meanwhile, seems to have guessed what was in the letter, even though he did not read it. He smiled faintly when he heard Argus' words, which seemed somewhat hesitant as he was about to take the letter.

After establishing his heart, Argus immediately took the letter in the hands of Ranov, and... A few minutes later, after he finished reading it. One of his eyebrows was raised up, and he muttered in annoyance. "Damn.., I expected it. Suddenly, I regret coming here. You set me up Ranov! You should have reported it to Master, if the Spirit Princesses, are still in training and cannot return to the Mansion." Argus grumbled in annoyance at Ranov.

"Hm..Hm.. Forgive Me Your Majesty, but that is not my authority, regarding the entire report that is in the entire Mansion. Because every report that reaches His Highness the Duke, is the duty of His Highness Zion. And my role here is just to take care of the pile of documents." he said firmly but politely.

Argus watched the pile of documents on the Duke's table, until he unconsciously frowned unhappily at the sight of the pile. "What..., so this is all the Old Lion's doing!!" 'Clean, it's worth it lately, he's been avoiding me. It turns out that he really wanted to get rid of me!' he murmured in the heart. Ranov who observed Argus expression in silence, also felt relieved. Finally he can be free from work that he thinks is more boring than being the Chief Servant.

"Then, I will return to my original duties because my business here is done." he bowed respectfully politely, and immediately left Argus. Argus watched Ranov's back which had now moved away and disappeared into the door's face.

In silence, he sat glued to the ceiling of the Duke's workroom. Before long, the events that took place in the Mana Zone.. Now it reverberates in his mind. His originally ordinary body suddenly trembled as he recalled the moment.

'I still remember, the pain that the Dragon Emperor gave me! After his departure, the feeling of pressure and heaviness that befell me, finally disappeared.. As if nothing happened. Damn, even now my body is reacting immediately when I think about it.

Not wrong anymore.. The dragon did not like my presence. Not only that, he even blatantly tested me! Without anyone realizing it. But I don't know why? I am so sure of my feeling! there was something he hid from the Goddess, and the Spirits!! Because I actually felt he was very different from the other Spirits. To be exact, he's very dangerous. I should be careful if I see him again later.

Haaah.. I don't know! I hope it's all just my feelings. Shit, after this I will no longer be able to roam freely. Not just the Old Lion! even the Master is trying to keep me away from the Princess. They were too protective of the Goddess. In this case, anyone would find it difficult to approach the Goddess, including the Emperor boy who was disguised as a teenage Marquess.

Ah, yes.. Now I have to tell the Goddess, if I can no longer control her. In the future, it will take a lot of effort to conquer both of my Father-in-laws. Hem.. Hem.. A-well Mer-tu-a... Hem.. Hem.. Funny too.' he thought fantasizing while smiling to himself, because he felt amused when imagining it.

***

On the other hand, in the depths of the forest. Ravela seemed to be leaning on Zaku's body which was currently in the form of a Mana Beast. Ravella sits down and reads a book. As for the other Spirits, just sit around Ravella. All seemed to enjoy the atmosphere around the forest that is shady and windy.

In contrast to Ravella, the Spirits were actually talking to each other through the mind, without the knowledge of their Master. Because the Spirits locked their minds, lest the Master hear it.

'Hey, do you guys have a solution? To be honest, I am still confused by what the Emperor meant..! We have been training for three years. And apparently there was no result at all. Actually was.. What kind of training? What does His Majesty mean?? I kept thinking about it all day. But I still have not found an answer to this day, said Zaku.

'You're right, since the departure of His Majesty, I've been thinking about the matter! To make me feel unsettled while living peaceful days like this. Where is the mistake!?' connect Tama.

'Haha.. Apparently I'm not alone, good.' said Zaku ambiguously, making Tama, and the others curious.

'Heuh, what do you mean?' tama asked, wrinkling both eyebrows.

'It turns out that not only am I stupid, but you are just as stupid. So I don't have to worry, do I? Because there are friends who are just as stupid as me. That way, I need not be too afraid if I get punishment from His Majesty..... Because there's you with me.' ledek Zaku, laughing.

'That's you, this is not the time to joke you idiot boy.' said Tama Upset, to Zaku. Who still laughs.

While the other Spirits were just bewitching, hearing the ravings of the two brothers. And at the same time, Ravella, who was focused on reading, suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps running towards them, while shouting to call his name.

"Srukkkk.. Sruk.. Sruk.. Her Highness the Princess.., Putriii...!" shouted one of the Soldiers, who was no stranger to his ears.

'Heuh, isn't that Ron's voice...?' thought Ravella, when confirming the sound.

"Your Majesty Put.." when Ron arrived at Ravella's place, Ron looked surprised, when he saw the five handsome men with the fierce and savage face that he knew so well. now he is surrounding the Princess while staring at her. Zaku had regained his human form, when he heard Ron's small running footsteps.

"Ah, Uncle. You guys are here too huh?" he immediately greeted.

"Cih, long time no see you boy, You seem to have grown up huh..!" chirps Tama while ringing.

"Haha.. Of course uncle, there's no way I'll keep going small. I'm not a hehe doll." he continued, rubbing his own head.

"By the way, what's wrong? until you run around in a hurry like that Ron?" said Ravella, who immediately stood up, When he saw Ron.

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about it. Her Highness the Princess... The Prince is currently in the Mansion. He came to the end with a group of soldiers from the Imperial Palace." he said.

"Eum... What the hell is going on? until the boy came here, under the pretext of visiting. Especially to bring many soldiers all! Is he going to take us to war!!?" chirp Ravella.

"I-that's I don't know Princess either. Right now, Pengeran is making a mess and forcing his way into the Mansion, only to meet you Princess. Reni and the Chief Servant, are being made difficult when facing the Prince's attitude.

And His Eminence Argus, who heard of this matter, directly ordered me to immediately bring you back to the Mansion. Because he can't do anything about the Prince either, because his current status is only as the representative of His Highness the Duke." he said quickly.

"See, that boy! why is it that every time he comes, he's always causing trouble?" his grunts were already accustomed to the Prince's attitude.

'Haah.. That brat? Wasn't his age far below that of a prince!!' ron thought, observing the reaction of Ravella, who spoke nonformally towards the Prince.

Seeing Ravella's reaction, the Spirits became upset.

"Then let me face the boy." Zion chirped.

"Heah.. Relax Cake! I'm doing fine. That's exactly what I have to face. Then, come on." he said, then went along with Ron, and the Spirits, who were tall and handsome-looking but also bringas and wild.

'If Grandpa's coming along, he won't be able to do anything to me. Because the boy had once come face to face with Kek Zion, and Kek Tama.' he thought while on his way back to the Mansion.
