THE COLD DAD
PROTECT COUNT ARNOLD AND HIS FAMILY

"your grandfather is here too..!"

"of course, son, why is your existence we cannot know..! normally, we can sense the aura of your being..!"

"i also. do not know kekama, this is indeed strange, when I realized suddenly I was in the room. I think father and you, who saved me, it turns out not also.... then who..?"

"entahla son, but, we're grateful you've returned" said Roya in relief.

"sad, there's something we want to introduce you to."

"really! who is kek jura? is she like you..?!"

"get out."

"hello dewi. introduce, my name is guard."

"hello, greetings to the guard lord."

"call me the goddess's guard."

"alright."

"noble report, some want to meet with your highness"

"who?"

"count Arnold, your honor."

"all right, I'll see him soon, my daughter. Daddy lives first."

"well dad, look at it. There's important business, you look serious."

"how's ravella doing..?"

"he's fine, prince."

"hmm good, you can go."

"good prince."

"meaning the case of monsters on the border, has been resolved.good, soon.there will be a welcoming party for the imperial lion. hmm. vella will come to the party, only there, I can meet him."

"how's your investigation arnold..?"

"as you might expect, there's a strange movement of dark organizations, they name their associations."

"have you got any evidence, from their movements..?"

"so so. al that, I'm sorry your honor."

"the spies I sent, were brutally murdered. And, the next morning.their bodies were hung in a glorious public place.but apparently, they kept their identity secret, to death. because by the time I got there, their tongues had been severed like bite marks."

"hmm. This is a warning, meaning they're looking for you, you need to be careful Arnold, don't show any suspicion that could get you caught. They might be spying on us from the inside."

"good your honor, then what a step! what should we do next..?"

"hmm for now, we're delaying the investigation of this case.In order to avoid suspicion, they must be reading your movements, and waiting for a crack to trap you."

"well, your Majesty, if there's anything else you need, please contact me, I'll be ready to help at any time."

"well, now you go back"

"please say your honor."

"kek, can we go to which zone..! there's something I want to talk about."

"zion's cake, you too."

"oh, can I also go with the goddess..!"

"of course the cake."

ravella opens the portal with her third eye, after Lannox leaves, they also move along unbeknownst to lannox.

"wow.. What is this place..? why is the scenery like in outer space.is this the zone of your goddess?"

"hmmm of course. This place is very special, only the chosen ones can enter it, maybe you're the last one."

"you deserve to brag about my zaku, according to you, yes, although I was a little disappointed, being the last person to come here."

"heh, of course, because you're not the chosen one."

"hufftt, they're starting again" said the saga.

"well, sorry lord of the guard.I have to call you what? because I'm not used to calling older people by name."

"it's okay goddess, just call me by name. lest she knows you call me, with a respectful name, I'll be doomed."

"uh, what do you mean..?"

"oh no, I'm just talking to myself. You just call me by the name of the goddess."

"it's fine if it wants you."

"kek roya, can I ask you, and kek zion, to eavesdrop on father's conversation."

"is this a mission for me goddess..?"

"yes, cake! this is your first mission."

"of course son, I'll do it now, boy, let's move."

"o.ow no, this is troublesome."

"so you mean, I'm troubling huh?"

roya immediately held onto Zion, and they drowned with shadows, to eavesdrop on lannox's conversation.

"honey, why are you suddenly asking Roya to do it secretly! can't we ask directly..?"

"not the cake saga, when it comes to important information, dad will never want a story, dad will keep it alone."

"yes, I heard from dad, you guys are fighting because of me, is that really the cake?"

"hmm yeah.right son, if it wasn't for the guard, who fished first, we wouldn't have fought."

"hey. who told you to get carried away with emotions, even though I only gave greetings introductions."

"what a joke like that you say greeting introductions, cih that's right."

"why are you always so friendly with me, I wonder if I have a problem with you..! hmm I don't."

"yes. the problem is you still haven't told us, where did you come from? you just said you'd tell me, but up until now, I've heard none of your stories! you always avoid being asked..?!"

"yes, it has to be difficult, and I have to keep my identity a secret, but trust me! I'm not an enemy.I was sent here, to guard Zion, because she has become the goddess' beloved spirit.that's all I can say, I hope you can understand her."

all spirits who hear the guard story, can only be silent.but also curious, why Zion must be protected just because she is the goddess's favorite.

'hmmm this is strange, what is possible just because Zion became the goddess's favorite, what zion has a special talent! or he. is there anything we do not know about him. But if it is not wrong, the emperor also liked it very much. When we first came, he also spoke as if, he said, very close to Zion, isn't she just my grandson. Zaku should know about his grandson, who are you really Zion..?'

jura really thought hard, and began to watch over Zion, secretly, without anyone's knowledge.

"we understand, maybe there's something that can't be told. ah, but I really can't call you names. I feel disrespectful, how about I call you uncle instead."

"it's okay guard, the goddess is so, at first she also can not call us by name, because the difference in age distance is too far, so she called us by the name of grandfather."

"you are very polite goddess, in this day and age, it is very difficult to find people like you. But goddess, I am older than your spirits, you can call me just like them."

"oh, that's! all right, if grandpa had told you that."

"christ! he's getting old-fashioned now."

"you don't need a sirik so first, admit that I'm more senior than you."

"i'm much older than you, not proud!"

"what do you mean zaku! are you sure you're older than me?"

"yes. of course, look at my hair fine. it's very white isn't it..! as for your hair, it doesn't mean, it's obvious that the old man has white hair, meaning I'm the oldest one here."

"ahahaha I guess what, you zaku. smart base also you are funny, although not funny anyway." whereas others just hold back laughter, hearing a spare change from zaku.

"hihihi. y'all turned out to be very familiar cake."

"hmm but, why grandpa Roya, and the Zion cake, so long ago.."

"maybe their conversation isn't over yet, son."

even the tetiba that was talked about appeared, roya and zion came out from the shadows.

"sorry, we're a little late, so so so Goddess. as they speak."

"what is the goddess? why do you see us like that..!"

"oh, I was thinking, who am I going to send, to carry out this mission."

"huh.then I'm just a kid, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

"mmm.. don't you feel tired?"

"of course it's no dear, rather than sitting still without doing anything, I'd rather go on a mission."

"alright, if that's what Grandpa wants."

"can kake protect count arnold? while figuring out the killer's movements for the night, I'm gonna help dad, unbeknownst to him."

"of course son, I'm so ready."

"oh one more, grandfather does not do it alone, grandfather will be accompanied, old man."

"a..what, so I also come along. In that case, I gladly accept your word goddess."

tama bowed respectfully, with one hand on her chest.

"grandfather don't have to, don't treat me like an employer. I don't like that, if you consider me family, treat me as usual. Because I, too, already consider you my family."

"oh my god, I'm getting proud of you son, you're getting older, and you're still so little."

"cake cake! don't overdo it so, all right, get back to the original topic. Because of grandpa's sharp smell, and Grandpa Roya's vision, which is like a telescope."

"telescope, what is a goddess?" ask roya curiously.

"ah, it's a tool that can see from a distance, yes.Grandfather's eyes look like that."

"oh really..! a pride gets compliments from you goddess."

"and the two of you, it's perfect for this mission. Please protect count arnold, and his family! as well, find out the movements that the dark organizations are doing secretly."

"well, we're leaving now" Tama said.

"let's go back, before dad suspects we're cake."

"yes, dear.they both must be very happy, especially roya" said the other.

'hmm, ah sure enough, my guess is, the old man must be frantically looking for me.'

"where have you been son! I've been looking for you since, I thought you disappeared again.It turns out you're here."

"hehe. calm dad, I'm just walking around for a little while, after all there are spirits who take care of me."

lannox looked towards the spirit ravella, but she still could not believe them. Since losing her daughter. Lannox became more protective again, against the princess only wayangnya. then, lannox immediately took ravella, and carried her.

"luck, baby, we're going."

"where are we going, dad?"

"there's a place, which I'll show you."

they left, but, of course, were controlled by spirits, including the guard. Ever since the guard showed himself, he no longer wanted to be a necklace, he preferred to be like now, he preferred to be, act freely without having to hide his form, and he becomes comfortable, being among other spirits.

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

the breeze blows softly, as if greeting the creatures of the earth, to relax.the expanse of flowers that swayed.as if to be a beauty of its own between the breadth of the hill, until it looks like a blue sea stretched wide.

"do you like it, son?"

"yes. it's so beautiful dad." 'I didn't expect, there's such a beautiful sight...in the world of the novel I'm running.' "dad, is this what you want me to show you..?"

"dear, since your mother left, I've always come here, because this is your mother's favorite place."

"yes. this is really beautiful, even my body is also in action to feel the abundant mana here, do you want me, holding my hand..?"

"of course, son, you don't have to ask permission from me, just do as you please."

they stood up, and Ravella grabbed his father's hands. Suddenly both of their bodies floated high, as if driven by the wind, ravella was playing with the air.

"huh.. my daughter, are you okay?"

"quiet dad, I'm fine.didn't I say, where here is very abundant, even. the wind just like life and, as if dancing, around me."

"hmm. I'm so lucky, to have a daughter like you ravell." lannox stared wistfully, at ravella.

"dad, don't you miss me so much..!" 'i saw the look on my father's face, it changed, and without him noticing, his tears fell down his smooth cheeks.'

"yes, very, but I can't see him anymore, he's been quiet there."

"hmm, do you want to meet my mom?"

"let that happen, I'm so happy."

"i'll tell you a secret."

"secret!"

"yes, it is said that the secret is not also. before the father sleeps, call on the mother's name in earnest.that is, if the father believes in me."

"dad always believed in you, son, what would happen if you called your mother by name?"

"mother will come, into my dream."

"is that really!"

"yes, that's what mom told me, I miss you a lot too."

"alright, I'll try later."

lannox just took it a silly joke on her daughter, she didn't take it seriously, what her daughter said.

"look at those two sons of man, they are very familiar fathers and sons."

"yeah, you're right guard, but there are many wounds they've been through to get to this stage."

"yes. but all this, is only temporary jura. our goddess has grown bigger.and the road that must be taken in the future, is still very long.she will pass even more severe tests, he said, That's why it's destiny as a goddess."

jura fell silent and pondered back on what the guard said, the obstacle the Goddess was going through, was about to begin.but she was grateful in her heart, she felt relieved.

"yes but fortunately, the goddess is always surrounded by luck."

"yes, you're right."

"honey, let's go down, it's getting dark, you're gonna get cold."

"well dad."

they slowly floated down, however, none of them were aware of the existence of the figure of the blue-haired handsome man, who had been watching the ravella ever since.

"even the wind is subject to the goddess, hmm. I can hardly wait for your maturity.what will you be, when you grow up! see you, my god, we'll see you soon."

after releasing Ravella, she disappeared with the wind.

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

"your Majesty, have you arrived?"

"ssstttthh, shut up. My daughter is sleeping."

the maid nodded, and the lannox passed away.After delivering Ravella to her room, Lannoxpun left her daughter.All the way, her daughter's words continued to ring in her mind.

'actually, I was a little hesitant, but I'll try it later.' the next morning.

"tock.tok.g.."

"insert"

"here's the report, your honor."

"hmm bring it here." lannox, look at the sheet of paper, which was brought to him.

"so, is the day of welcome approaching?"

"really noble, and the emperor commanded to take the princess, with you."

"and, what if I refuse?"

"hence, the treaty of welcome, and the cession of the dominions, shall be deemed void."

'hmm. so it is! he tried to threaten me by using my daughter.' "alright, I'll welcome the throw, you can go now."

"i'm clearance farewell, your honor."

"click" the door closed again. "he threatened me! did he think I would be afraid, and give up just like that. Of course it's only in your delusion of the emperor.we'll see later, what other games will be played by him."
