THE COLD DAD
I FINALLY CALLED HIM DAD...

The goddess who had been asleep for a long time finally woke up, from her long sleep. The opened eyelids slowly published orange neutrals that lit up like embers.

very lovely.. His silver hair fluttered brightly in the wind. Small lips slightly protruded as red as a peach, a sharp nose that fit the shape of his face, skin as white as snow, Everything was sculpted perfectly.

The little girl was truly the true heir of the goddess. Not only was blessed the beauty, and power of the Goddess, but she had also endowed infinite mana.

Not only did she possess mana, but she also gained the strength and protection of the seven sacred Spirits of the ancient legend.she had become a perfect Goddess, now her body was emitting a golden glow of luster.

The ball of light that continues to surround her body.as if happy to welcome the birth of the Goddess.The girl just realized the changes of her body and muttered.

'What happened to me? why did I become like this...! And why this ball emits such a bright light. Why does he keep surrounding me? my body is now floating... What exactly happened to my body?? am I being cursed!!" Ravella started to panic.

The ball of light that surrounded the girl, had now split into seven lights.

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

The imperial palace

"so. tok.."

"Come in."

"Honor to the imperial sun.

Report him, there's been some news about last night's events..."

"What's going on?"

"In the empire it was said there was a strange phenomenon about mass oversleeping. Not only in the palace.even the entire continent experienced it sire."

"really! how's Lannox at the place?"

"The same thing happened at Duke Lannox's house."

"All right, you can go."

The Duke Lannox residence..

"Daughter, the Prince wants to meet. He was now in the pavilion near the lake."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Hail prince."

Denfin was involuntarily stunned by Ravella's more beautiful changes than before, which Ravella might not have noticed.

'I was so lazy to meet him.. Even his good looks really don't make my hatred recede. Too bad you're Ravel, how can you like this guy? The man who had willingly betrayed you without finding out the truth that had been disguised by Grasia.' He murmured in his heart.

"Rovella... Ravellaa..., what happened, are you sick..?"

"Ah, Ti-no prince."

"Then..why are you daydreaming, what are you thinking?"

"Yes.I just suddenly thought of my mother."

"I'm sorry."

"What's Prince for?"

"I wasn't there beside you when you were grieving Vela."

"Don't think of the Prince, everything has passed.The memory was just a glimpse of the moment I saw the noise.."

The blond man stared pityfully at Ravella. Before long, the waiter came pouring tea for the two.

"Prince's tea please."

"Yes.." Denfin stole a glance at Ravella. 'How can she who has been beautiful since the beginning, now her charm is getting more beautiful again..! but, why did he turn so cold like never before?!' thought stunned. "Ehem.. Vella, come with me."

"he.. Where are you going, Prince?"

"Hmm.hm.." Denfin smiled and clasped Ravella's hand, then ran over to the water filled with flowers.

"A long time ago we didn't play together..! let's catch the butterflies there..! that, Vella.. The butterflies."

'Oh no. This is not true.I am not a child anymore, who must chase butterflies.I am too old to play, ' Ravella lamented inwardly. "Euh, prince. look at that butterfly..! it's beautiful let's catch it." said stunned to see a beautiful butterfly perched among flowers.

"Let's hurry, you're over there Vella." said the Prince excitedly.

"Well.prince."

Ravella suddenly wakes up, if her body moves on its own.

'Oh, god..! what the hell happened to me? this body immediately responds when it sees butterflies, is this the instinct of children?! Huh. make it ashamed. Come on, enjoy the moment today. This body is still a kid, so I have to play a lot and look like another normal kid.'

"They look so cute said knight Alex." The Prince's bodyguard.

"Ah very true.I have not seen the Princess laugh so long ago" said Marri.

"really?" Alex couldn't believe it.

"Yes, then there is a point, the prince came here" Marri said.

***

'Ravella's birthday is soon, it doesn't feel like almost a year I'm here.'

"tok.tok.tok.." the sound of knocking on the door broke Ravella's daydream.

"Come in"

"Daughter, Your Majesty is taking you to dinner."

'Again, huh, I'm really tired of facing that old man. What's wrong with her?! Usually he always ignored the existence of Ravella. Never even wanted to eat together, even if there were only at important events.'

"All right, I'll be there soon."

"Okay, I resigned my daughter."

'I changed my casual dress to sea blue, white flower patterned, my hair braided to the side. I went down the stairs slowly, and I saw the Old Man welcoming me with a smile.'

"My respect to His Majesty."

"Sit down." said the Duke.

'The waiter pulled a chair for me to sit down, as usual.. Duke cut meat for me.' Ravella watched in silence. "Thank you Your Majesty." 'Enak once meat seasoned with sweet black sauce, I ate it quickly and greedily.'

"Slow down, eat Ravel."

I just smiled wryly with the food still clumping in my mouth. The Duke only looked at me with a friendly smile.Fuck, this makes it awkward. Why is this Old Man so handsome? oh no, don't look at me with your innocent face Ravella murmured inwardly. 'I continued to eat and chew meat slowly..'

"Ravel, tonight sleep in my room" suddenly Duke chirped to make Ravella shocked.

"Uhukis... Uhuk... Uhuk... waitress a. a. air uhuk.uhuk.." I knocked my chest in shock. His words just made me choke, what suddenly he changed, whether he was possessed.'

"Ravella is okay? Waiter, what do you see, get me some water."

"Good Your Majesty."

'I saw the Duke look so panicked, and scolded the servants.'

"From today on, I fired you." The servant was very surprised by what the Duke had thrown.

"Of my majesty, I was wrong."

"Bring him up.."

'Old man rubbed my back with worry, and I immediately said.'

"huh.., I'm already okay Your Majesty."

'Jeez, what's wrong with this old man..! I was wrong, but why were the servants fired? I pulled Duke's sleeve and tried to seduce him with my cute face'. "Your Majesty. I beg you not to fire him, I am wrong. for lack of caution."

"No, he deserves it."

'Oh no, I'm sorry waiter. Even my ilmeleventeen face does not work in front of this old man. Duke looked at me with a sharp look, Huh very scary.I want to hurry back to the room. Someone, please save me, I really hate moments like this.'

"Rovella.. Come here." Come here."

'afraid of his face that seemed to want to destroy anything, inevitably, I was forced to follow his will obediently and then stopped before him, I did not dare to look at him.. he looked so horrible like an evil spirit.

I feel like I want to cry now, He's still staring at me, I'm finally losing. The tears that I had sustained for a long time, were now overflowing unstoppably.' "Pardon me Your Majesty. sa-I am wrong, ja-so I beg you, do not hu-law me hiks..hiks.."

"Why are you crying Ravella? You're innocent, come here."

"My son, don't cry, you're here."

'Listening to his words my cry grew louder because I couldn't believe what I was seeing right now.'

"Aaaaggghh hicks.hiks...hix.."

'Why am I getting sadder, fucking tears. What's with this body? is this what Ravella wanted all this time..! the warm embrace he always missed. Woe to you Old Man.. Where have you been all this time? Why only now, do you remember Ravella when the real Ravella has left..! Shit after crying I started to get tired, do not sleep. I beg ja-nga-n and then everything went dark.'

Lannox tightly hugged the Princess she had longed for all this time.. He never thought his daughter would be this fragile and weak, and so frightened of him.

'Is that as bad as I am in your eyes my daughter?' He felt guilty and sorry for torturing and neglecting his daughter all this time. 'So much time has been wasted for my loss, for my wife.

So you're a victim of my stupidity. I've been wasting it all this time, and it's never gonna happen again my daughter. From now on, I'll give everything for you, what I never gave you just yet.'

***

"Ti-no.. Dad..! please. ja.don't kill me, please Dad.."

Lannox was very surprised, by what she saw just now. "what did she dream of up to this? What scared him so much, what kind of father am I? to mentally torture my own son to this extent..!"

She lay down beside her daughter, and held her in her warm embrace "Sstttt, Shhhhh, sleep son! I'll take care of you, I'm sorry I ignored you all this time." Lannoxpun fell asleep hugging his only daughter.

"What a beautiful sight, no." Said Zion who came out of the shadow, the White Lion saw the sight of Father and Son who were hugging. "Finally you just realized that your daughter is precious to you."

And suddenly something came out of the little girl's body.. A bright white light, enlarging to form a shield of light in Lannox's room, Zion began to be wary of what she saw.

"What is..!!" he touched the wall of light, but it was so sturdy that Zion was thrown away.

"Hey little boy. long time no see..! Apparently you've grown up my granddaughter...!"

Zion was surprised "i-this, n-no way, this voice, Grandpa!!" The great White Lion wears the crown of the king on his head.. He came out of the dark shadow while smiling at Zion."

*****

Ravella woke up slowly she opened her beautiful eyes, the netra orange like embers, burning brightly, staring around the room.

'What happened, where is this??' He wanted to wake up, but was blocked by something heavy. 'why is it so heavy..!' large arms wrapped around her tiny waist, and made Ravella startled and look sideways. 'What!! Since when is your Majesty. Huh.., how is this? I want to wake up.'

Ravella slowly raised her father's hand, but to no avail, her embrace grew tighter as she feared losing her daughter's figure.

'Ending me, how is this..! what am I supposed to do? Anyone save me, I beg you..!'

Lannox began to wake up from feeling movement, and slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

"Hmmm" looks a funny face Ravella, is looking at him with an innocent look.'

"Your Majesty..! You're up..?"

He immediately woke up and rubbed his eyes, "Ravel my daughter...!"

"Y-yes, Your Majesty..!"

"Call me Dad..!"

"Huh but, I don't deserve to call you by that designation Your Majesty." Ravella flat.

Seeing his daughter's attitude as if reluctant to call him Father, made his heart break.

"Who does not deserve it..?"

'Duke looked at me seriously, I twisted my brain quickly. W-but, wouldn't you not like it yourself, if I called you that name!!"

"That's what...?" Duke asked cynically.

"I don't want to know the reason, from now on you have to call me Dad, Understand..!"

Lannox looked at the confused face, at her daughter.

'What's wrong with the old man? What ghosts have possessed her..! So that he turned ninety degrees, He seemed to be waiting for an answer. Huuh.., I let out a long breath. "All right, A-Dad."

"What..? I didn't hear..!!"

"A- huh.. A-A-Dad."

"Hahaha, my daughter is back."

'She suddenly hugged me tightly, and held me high while laughing loosely. What's wrong with her..!'

The Duke shouted happily, as if announcing his happiness.

"My daughter. You've returned son.."

'As a thunderbolt in broad daylight, with a lazy face I looked at Duke. For God's sake, what's this old man doing?? Seeing her completely changed behavior, I could only give up. He didn't let me go one bit, at breakfast, noon, and night, even during important meetings he didn't let me go.

I can't do anything after the shower, and put on my hair dress in knot two. I saw my face in the mirror, so cute, let alone my hair on the left and right knots like a snail.. Oh no, I'm being a narcissist.'

"Click!!"

'The door opens, I see Duke coming in with his handsome face, he smiles at me, I force my tongue to call him...'

"Dad!"

'He looked so happy and immediately hugged me, and carried me. Not forgetting to kiss my cheeks, over time I became accustomed to this treatment.'

"My daughter, you are so beautiful and so cute Muaachh..!"

'Somehow now, I feel like a pet.'

"Ih.. dad..! stop it's so embarrassing"

"Let it go, you're my daughter. Who dares to mock you, will father their law."

All the servants who listened to the Duke's words, instantly got a sharp look from him. Aware of her sinister gaze, they all immediately lowered their heads in fear, But it was precisely the most beautiful and extremely rare sight, for everyone to see. For they had never seen a Duke this happy and acted so tenderly to his daughter.

'Can I hope again..! and what if this was just a momentary dream, which would disappear away the moment I woke up!! I got used to the warm treatment.

I don't want to lose this warmth anymore, but I don't want to be too hopeful either. Because when Grasia comes, Dad will leave me, and turn to Grasia.I hug Dad tightly.'

Seeing her cute face suddenly turn sullen and sad, Duke immediately asked.

"Why My daughter..?"

With a smile Ravella said.

"Hmm. hmm. I love Dad."

"REally...? You don't hate me anymore..??" duke's face was bright.

"No."

"Aren't you angry again, at Dad..?"

"Ravell has forgiven Dad, but promise not to be..!!" 'Because if it happens again, I'll get out of your life Old Man. I showed my little finger.'

"Emm what is this..?"

"Kesinikan Daddy's little finger." 'Then I linked our little finger.' "remember this is our promise Father, hihiy." Ravella laughed happily.

"All right, I promise you, son."

'Aaarrgghhhh I began to sleep, Dad patted my back gently. Suddenly everything darkened. I saw a little girl like me, standing in the middle of the light, but her face was not clearly visible. because it is blocked by the light that blinds the eyes. hey wait...! Then I ran after him.. Then he approached the girl.'

"Hey.."

'He greeted me..' "who are you...? "

"I am you Ravella." she smiled gently.

'I was surprised to hear it, could this be the real Ravella..?'

"Thank you for realizing my dream Noella."

'He smiled gently at me.'

"From now on, I will leave quietly. Please take care of our Father, he is a very fragile person, and very lonely. Because my mother is not next to him..

He was very lost for my mother's departure and it became a very deep wound for him. So, you have to replace me to look after Noella's father, and you've got her heart now.

Next, I leave the rest to you. Thank you very much Noella, you have done what I could not do first. Please convey my message to Dad, that I love him very much. Good bye, Noella."

"No Waiting.." 'I saw him leave with a smile engraved on his face, I would feel guilty to him if I were not there..! Maybe this position will belong to the real Ravella.'
