THE COLD DAD
BAD NEWS FROM THE PALACE

In the forbidden forest, Zion is now facing off against Gapi. He also saw the Black Lion.

"Now, attack me with your full strength! and don't hold it, get it all out" Zion said seriously.

Hearing Zion's orders, Gapi began to concentrate, he began to gather all the energy he had, and make it centered right at one point, namely, in the stomach. after all the energy he gathered was fully charged, then he unleashed his attack in the direction he wanted.

'Will I see, how far have you grown, son?!' he murmured in his heart, who was still watching over the student.

The gapi who was now the size of a Wolf, started to get ready. He took a deep breath, then spouted his Dragon Flame. And in an instant, a burst of fire was blown towards Zion. And the fire burned everything around them.

However, even more surprising, the Fire he released did not hit Zion's body in the slightest. This surprised Gapi. Seeing the reaction of his students, Zion also rang and muttered which made Gapi ignited emotions.

"Is this just the result of your training so far..? I'm very disappointed in you, it turns out that what I taught, still hasn't shown you any progress." he looked disappointed.

Hear that! Gapi, who looked annoyed, started to attack again, with a much greater force than before. However, that power is now beyond his control. Because he just follows his instincts.

The attack was immediately unleashed towards Zion, sensing a strange energy! Zion narrowed both her eyes, with a quick response, she instantly disappeared. And in an instant, Gapi was immediately thrown far away to hit a large chunk of rock around the Cave. Gapi's body is now helpless.. And filled with many bruises, as a result of Zion's sudden attack.

"Gedebug.. Bugs.. Brug.. Eugh.." Gapi also immediately fell, until unconscious.

Seeing that, Zion quickly approached her student. And healed his wounds. While the Black Lion who had been watching the fight from a distance, also approached the two and said, which made Zion feel guilty.

''You're over-educating him! as you know for yourself, this child is still unable to accept your powerful attack. Even though you only used a little pressure, to urge him." said the black Lion, who could only let out a long sigh while shaking his head, looking at the training of the two Teachers and Disciples.

In his heart, Zion felt regretful.but, on the one hand, he also had to be firm in educating his students regardless of feathers.

Seeing the condition of his students, he immediately rushed to bite the neck of Gapi, and move it into the Cave. After that, the two of them went out to leave Gapi, to rest. And now, the pair of Lions were sitting on the hill. Seeing the scenery in the Forbidden Forest while talking to see the natural scenery.

Zion sat down and looked at the Lioness, whom she loved dearly. Who now looks at the sky. After being satisfied to look at him. Then he turned his face to look at the sky which was now almost dusk. Aware of Zion's attention to him, he muttered.

"What's wrong? What makes you look so nervous?" asked the Black Lion, staring at Zion full of gentleness.

The wind blew fiercely, in the distance it appeared that dawn was almost half-sinking in the swallow of the horizon. The Black Lion's gaze, again following the direction of Zion's current gaze, Highlight his sharp eyes fixed on the dense and lush expanse of forest. The appearance of a nearly dim orange glow, fell on all the trees around the forbidden forest.

The atmosphere was silent again for a moment, there was no sound between the two.just the roar of the wind, and the sound of the birds that had returned home his brightness. both seem to be busy enjoying the natural panorama that stretches so wide and beautiful. After a few moments of silence in the twilight, Zion made a sound again, breaking the silence between the two.

"You know Azula.. There will come a time when the fate that has been written, will not be inevitable. Even if you try hard to change it, and what happens will happen" Zion said, sounding a bit sad and ambiguous.

Seemed anxiety lay on the surface of his savage face. Meanwhile Azula, just focus on listening without interrupting. "And what I teach the boy at this time.., it will be very useful for him later.although the training I apply, is very dangerous for him.

In the future, he will be faced with an opponent who is very strong and much tougher than me. For that, his mental and physical strength must be forged early on. So that he can get used to it and not be surprised anymore, when faced with an urgent situation, and much more difficult in a fight.

Since there was a huge responsibility he had to shoulder on both shoulders, what else would he become the King of the Monsters and the Beast Race, many lives would depend on him." he then dropped his gaze, on a group of animals who are now drinking on the riverbank. After he finished speaking his mind, now Azula was spoiled for Zion. With his nose pointed, towards Zion's nose, he pulled back his face and spoke while looking at Zion with sincerity.

"I understand what you mean, and I don't deny that. Only, give the child a little time to hone his pent-up skills. Because not all individuals can go straight up. Everything requires a process to develop and get better. Besides, I'm sure there's something more to it than that! you have something to tell me, don't you..?" he stared into Zion's eyes.

Looking at the gaze of his beloved, Zion kissed his forehead and then he took a long breath and said. "Haaah, I can't seem to hide anything from you. You right! Actually, I've been thinking about it a lot lately. And is weighing, when is the right time for me, talking about this matter with you!

And apparently, the time has come for me to speak honestly to you, about who I really am! And I also want to introduce you, with my family." she said with a steady heart.

Seeing that, doubts arise on Azula's face, he does not want his presence to be a burden for Zion. but on the one hand, he is also very curious about the origin of his lover. "Are you really sure?" he looked at Zion, there was doubt in his heart.

"of course.. It's been three years, and I've kept our relationship a secret, to everyone. And. now it's time for you to show yourself to the world, so that those who are still looking for your existence, can stop chasing you." he said glancing at Tiara who was still perched in Azula's head.. turning his gaze back to the expanse of the Shrub Forest, which was extremely dense, and lush.

"I'm up to you... Even if you never tell me who you really are!! I won't force you to tell me who you are either. You must have your reasons, so you can't tell!" he looked up at the now dark sky.

Zion smiled at her lover's words, feeling that their departure had been too long! Zion finally ended the conversation with a murmur.

"The light's been in the night, let's go back. That kid must have woken up, and is looking for us now. Tomorrow I will take you to my place, and introduce you to all my family. You have to prepare yourself for tomorrow"

He said while kissing Azula. "Hem well.." said Azula, smiling.

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

Upon arrival at the Mansion, from a distance the eyes looked up. It seemed that Reni was running small towards the Princess. With a face that still looks anxious and panicked, but changed in relief, when he saw the face of the Princess.

"Daughter.. Princesses.. Haaah.. Haaah.. Thank goodness you d-here, b-beliau P-prince.." he said stopped, Iarena tired of running.

Ravella who had just arrived at the Mansion, was together with her five Spirits. Stopped because of the appearance of his foster mother.

"Reni, take a slow breath. And just tell me what exactly is going on?" he said he held Reni's arm, to calm the nanny.

"B-good Princess.. Huufff... Haaaaah... Huufff... Haaaaaah.." After he calmed down and finished breathing, he spoke to Ravella about the situation at the Mansion. "Daughter, the Prince is now in your room. He forced his way in, and we could not prevent him. Your Excellency Argus, he's with him in your room right now." he said smoothly.

"All right, I get it. Don't worry Reni, come back now. leave the rest to me." she smiled, after which Ravella went to her room followed by the five tall, handsome men behind her.

***

'Vella.' she said softly, but the action came to a halt when she saw the figure that had once rendered her helpless, now appearing behind Ravella.

When the prince will walk towards him.. Suddenly a few familiar figures of Men, entered consecutively from behind Ravella. Seeing that, the ripples on the Prince's face instantly turned grim. It was not only the two Handsome Men who appeared, there were even five handsome Men coming with him. As for the three again, he had never seen one. The five men entered, and stood around Ravella.

Seeing that, he held back his desire to hug Ravella, but no one realized the tight fist, in both hands. His heart suddenly became furious and very upset. Not only did the prince feel that way! Likewise with Argus, he also looked uncomfortable and furious with the presence of the five handsome men who looked very protective of his Master.

Looking at the five handsome Men who were very familiar and so protective of Ravella, until the envy in his heart arose, towards the five Spirits. 'Since the appearance of the five of them, my existence has been considered meaningless. They should have lived and rotted there forever. And even better if they never return to this tekpat.' grumbling in the heart, feeling annoyed.

"You guys.. Why are you two here?" asked the Prince who was a little nervous, but he could again master his feelings, and began to act calm.

"Oh, I thought you'd forgotten us, boy! I'm flattered that you still remember my face." said Zaku, with a cynical grin on his face. But not for long.. There was another man's voice, speaking in a thin tone, and threatening.

"Don't beat around the bush, you better tell me, why did you come here? Is it possible, the last time..is still not enough to make you satisfied? And now that you've come back here again, do you want me to send you somewhere further.?" connect Tama with her bright face, but with a look of disdain. While holding hands he stared fiercely.

While Argus who had heard the three men's chatter, just observed. In the heart of the Prince.. He was very angry and did not like the presence of the handsome Men, who continued to stick to the side of his temple!

Argus saw the reaction of the Fifth Man, who looked pretentious in his eyes. Moreover, the five men were so protective of Ravella, in his heart he was fed up, and uncomfortable with the scenery.

While the Prince who has a sneaky idea, trying to attract the attention of Ravella. in order to get rid of the handsome men, who are on the side of Ravella. Although he seemed to ignore the existence of Argus, but in reality, he was also observing the figure of Argus without anyone realizing it. And in silence he continued to look into the eyes of Argus, who was now staring fixedly at the Princess.

'Hem.. Could it be that damn kid too? I know such a look! When did he start? Don't tell me, it's here too.. Because!!' his thought stopped, he suddenly began to realize the meaning of Argus' gaze. "Currently, I need to get rid of rotten men like him. No one can take mine.' he murmured inwardly with ambition.

"Vella, can I just talk to you alone?" the Prince said with a pleading expression, he looked at Ravella with a gentle gaze while holding onto Ravella's two hands. And ignore the existence of the Men who are now paying attention to his attitude, with an annoyed look. While Argus who heard the Prince's words, looked amused and disgusted. But he still tried to suppress his frustration, by trying to be calm in front of all.

Ravella who heard the Prince's words fell silent for a moment, while looking at the six Men who were now surrounding him. Understanding the intention of Ravella's nod, even if reluctant, they still came out obediently. Same with Argus.

"If he messes with you, tell me right away." Zaku chanted suddenly, before leaving, staring intently at the Prince. Ravella simply responded with a smile. Looking at the reaction the Spirits were so protective of her.

And after the room his room became quiet, and only the two of them remained. Ravella finally started to open the conversation. Although he was actually lazy to face the Prince.

"What made you come here, Prince?" ask Vella, inviting the Prince to sit on the sofa. Then he looked at the table, which now had two empty glasses, with a container of sugar next to the glass. The prince took a teapot and poured warm tea on both cups.

'Hem.. Three years we've never met, he's changed a lot. What kind of physical training did he do, so that he looked like a handsome knight?' he thought observing the Prince's physical changes. 'The shoulder of the field, the burly muscles hiding behind his royal uniform. And again.. His height was also a little more almost equal to my father's height. It has grown a lot. But.., why am I the only one who still hasn't changed much..?! My body even, still looks like a child! It's annoying.. Oh God, why are you so unfair to me!' grunt in heart, complaining to the Gods.

But at the same time in the Sky Palace, the God who was sitting on his throne, only smiled listening to the complaints of his Empress, who he thought was very funny.

In Ravella's room, Pengeran sat leaning back, and stared at the table. He was silent for a moment digesting Ravella's question, and seemed to be pondering something. A few moments later, he returned to what had weighed on his mind at this moment.

"Vella. Actually, I came here to take you to the Palace." he said, staring at Ravella's face.. To see his reaction.

"Takes me! What do you mean, Prince?" his question seemed confused by the Prince's words.

Seeing Ravella's reaction, the Prince felt bad, wanting to talk about it. But, inevitably, he had to convey it. Ravella noticed the movements of the Prince's body that looked rather agitated.The two hands were tightly clasped on the table. As if I was considering something.

'This news might surprise him.. However, this is only an opportunity for me, to take him away with me.' he thought contemplating for a moment, in his composure.

Ravella who was just watching, while waiting patiently, what answer would come out of the mouth of Penger. 'What a matter indeed made him hesitate so!' thought in the heart.

"Vella, actually my coming here is to take you to the Palace with me." he muttered back to his point.

"Wait, sorry to interrupt the prince. But, what do you mean by taking me with you?" he still did not understand the intention of the Prince's arrival.

"Heah... Your father has returned Vella, he has managed to solve the mysteries that exist at the border. And it's no surprise to me, because he always succeeds when he does the most difficult missions. In fact, this time it wasn't even a month. However, there is something more surprising than that." she said, staring at me, her gaze falling into her glass. He had a shadow of himself on the surface of the tea that was still evaporating.

The feeling of not being able to bear, again gnawed at him. Because he did not want to see his favorite girl, in the grief. But nevertheless.. The impatient Ravella, immediately urged the Prince.

"Don't beat around the prince, can you say it directly, your intention and purpose came here..!!" ravella said straightforwardly, instantly she felt a bad feeling. Seeing Ravella's reaction, he could only let out a long sigh, before continuing the more serious conversation.

"Haaah. But, I've made an impromptu plan. If something happens that you don't want! Your father.., he has a daughter with another woman, besides you!

And right now, your father is in the Palace with the boy." he said with a grim expression, he took a breath and closed his eyes, Ravella must have been very surprised and would have been hurt upon hearing the bad news. However, when he opened both eyes, and looked back at Ravella's reaction, it made him shocked and in disbelief. Until one of his eyebrows raised up, because of astonishment.

Hearing the Prince's words, Ravella who had been staring at the Prince.. Now lower his eyes. He looked so calm, and smiled. "Hm.. I see, yes...!" he said briefly, he did not seem surprised anymore by the news that the Prince conveyed to him. And even respond to him as usual, while throwing a look out the window of his room. Occasionally a gentle breeze burst in, flying the plain white Curtain, in the window of his room.

'What is this...? He should have been sad when he heard this news! but, why did his expression look ordinary.. Maybe he knew it first?' the Prince thought questioningly, with Ravella's reaction.

Ravella who heard the remark, could only smile bitterly for a moment. When the prince closed his eyes. However, by the time the Prince re-opened both of his eyes. Ravella hides her emotions again. 'It turns out, this is what Grandpa meant, at that time yes..! I Must Prepare for Bad News, Face And Don't Run From Reality. If I Want to See the Truth. Actually was.. What kind of truth does Grandpa want to show me!!? I didn't expect, our meeting would finally arrive as well. But this is faster than it should be.

The storyline in this novel, has completely changed away from the original plot. Everything that was supposed to happen was now beyond my expectations. The original story is far removed from the real story. This shift happened, definitely because of my existence, which should have belonged to the real Ravella. And now, everything has gone out of my control.

Then then.. I also have to prepare for Father Cold's changing attitude towards me. It was only fitting that he did not return, usually the Old Man preferred to return to the Mansion, rather than to the Emperor Palace.

But this time, he would rather go to the Emperor Palace instead of having to go back to the Mansion to see me. Is it possible that the Old Man is registering the status of his False Princess, as the legitimate Princess??' he thought he was re-digesting what happened. 'But the problem now is this boy..! what exactly is he planning? To take me to the palace?' he thought looking at the Prince's suspicious-looking attitude in his eyes.
