THE COLD DAD
I NEED FOUR OF YOU
luke, arlo, and zora entered the king's office.
"respect us king."
the three of them paid their respects by putting one hand on the chest.
(luke) "what made him call us here..?"
the king looked at the three however, he was still speechless while watching the three.
"if you dare betray me..! I'll skin you alive, until you beg to die."
robi was surprised his face paled, cold sweat flowing from his forehead.
"i have sworn to his majesty, at the stake of my own life.I also cannot promise much with words.but, I will prove by action.I do not intend to betray the emperor, I do not intend to, it's just..! I can't see the prince acting so arbitrarily as to be able to sacrifice so many lives.."
"i don't care about your story." Lannox stared coldly at the robes.
"if you really care about the fate of your leader! then, why didn't you express your opinion in front of the emperor from the beginning..?."
lannox stepped back, leaving the stunned robes alone.
'i have made up my mind, and have promised to swear allegiance to him. I must not give up, just because of his words that make me feel intimidated, just prove it by action. anyways it is too late to tell everything to the emperor, even though I am honest with the emperor.not necessarily he would listen to me huh.'
robi immediately ran after the distant lannox.
in Vala town, argus was chasing some suspicious people.
"heh met, there you guys are"
'fucking why we're the hunted'
argus plays the stone in his hand, and he drains the mana into the small stone in his hand.
"punnnk bledaaarr."
the explosion hit their hiding place, some were hit by his attack, and some escaped and fled.Argus entered an empty building, and saw the three men faint with minor injuries.
"the three of you get out."
"honor us princes." cried the three robed men.
"glish, lock them up in a vacuum, and you two, come with me to catch the rest."
"good prince."
they go floating in the air looking for the whereabouts of the escaped suspect, suddenly argus felt something.
"hem. where you're going to hide, you two find the rest, and lock them in the same place."
"good prince, wuuuusssssssh."
'i have to come back soon, it looks like there are uninvited guests.'
the king noticed the three wizards who were waiting for the Answer, after a short silence the king spoke again.
"holy stone has been stolen."
(arlo) "what... how can he? isn't the holy stone already installed a seal, and no one can open it except the three of us.
"that's my question now too! how could the intruder unseal the holy stone?"
(zora) "hmm. two possibilities."
"what do you mean? zora's"
(zora) "the first, there are spies among us." zora noticed everything in the room. "probably the second, the enemy has long known about the key of the holy stone seal."
(luke) "to be exact, this country was their target from the beginning, and they used the holy stone as the weakness of this country."
(arlo) "if this is the case..same we have lost before the war.then, what do you do next sire??"
keasokan.
"where are you going uncle?"
"there's a little bit of business I have to take care of. In the meantime, I'm putting a goddess on you. This is your first mission, can you do it?"
gapi was very happy to hear this was a mission given to him.
"emm. of course you can uncle, just leave the matter of keeping the goddess to me."
zion laughed, then went towards the shadow and disappeared.
"hmm... How can I disappear like that..?"
gapi saw the condition of the ravella still lying stiff, he climbed onto the bed and walked slowly towards the ravela, with his red wings slightly expanded.
"goddess..when did you wake up....?"
silence has no answer.
"i am lonely."
seeing no answer, he slept beside Ravella.
zion appeared at the training ground, the knights who realized his arrival, immediately stopped the training and approached the lion.
"honor to his highness zion."
zion sat firmly watching the soldiers, with a savage face that seemed ready to pounce on anyone in front of him. Zion secretly noticed one by one the soldiers, the soldiers felt intimidated by the attitude of Zion, Zion, the serious ones were watching them very closely.
"what is it that the noble Zion is here, not usually he is this serious?"
"sssssssshhhhhttt watch your speech, your majesty can hear it, even from the distance of the tigaratus meter."
the soldier who was behind the line fell silent, Zion who had been silent since now spoke.
"uh what is this..? did we make a mistake..!" said another soldier.
zion got up from his seat, and walked toward every line.
"gulp, why is his majesty approaching every line..! is there a check..?"
"sssssssshhhhhttt be quiet, if you're noisy we can be made into Eats."
the knight was silent.
zion approached every line, and stopped at the fifth, and he watched the four.
"the four of you go forward."
"ba.good your honor."
they ran forward, in an instant Zion was in front of the four people, and surrounded them slowly as if to be eaten.
"gulp." The four people were nervous and intimidated, cold sweat pouring out all over their bodies.
"the others continue their training."
"good noble one." said the soldiers simultaneously.
"and you four follow me."
"good your honor."
...****************...
roland entered lannox camp.
"your highness.is not the boy the prince's messenger..?"
lannox sat speechless as she read the reports the doctor gave about the patient
"the baginda?"
lannox stopped his focus
"hmm at first it was, but not anymore."
"what do you mean, your highness..?"
lannox put down the report in her bed and sat down while choking on her hands.
"actually he was sent to find my weakness"
"what?"
"but the boy turned to betray his master."
"don't-don't he deliberately became a traitor! just to find a noble trust?"
"hmm. no, that kid is serious..!"
"how can you be sure...."
"that's enough Roland, your job is to just monitor the boy.the rest let it be my business."
"good noble" with a heavy heart he went. 'honestly, I was a little disappointed with his majesty, I will watch over the boy, there must be something he hid.. because I know very well how cunning the little prince is, I will never trust a messenger from the palace.'
rolandpun out left lannox alone, while dean who was busy sneaking around on the roof, to find someone.
'where exactly is that guy..? am I misinformed, but according to the information circulating he will come to this city!'
"what are you looking at?"
coming someone from his right side, dean quickly dodged, and attacked the man with his sharp dagger.Argus quickly took the dagger in dean's hand.
"are you sure you want to attack me with a weapon like this...!"
"who areyou?"
'how can I not feel the presence of this person..!'
"i'm the one who should be asking, what are you doing lurking in a room like this, what exactly are you looking for..?"
"it's none of your business."
"but now that this city is under my control, that's my business."
'this guy looks so strong, it feels like I will lose if it forces against him, I better get out of here soon.'
dean quickly escaped avoiding the fight, argus who saw the boy running from him, quickly catching up.
"hehe.. Where do you want to run? as long as I'm here, you won't be able to escape my sight."
argus continued to pursue.
'the area around here has been spotted, it is appropriate that I feel the presence of a foreign figure. hmm. until when he will run like that, completely wasting my time.I will paralyze his legs, I will paralyze him, so that he cannot move at all.'
argus took a small stone and plucked it at Dean's feet.
"peel. puuk.."
dean immediately fell, bouncing down.
"bug. bug.. ah shit, why can't I move."
argus approached the dean and stood before him, with a cynical smile.
"huh.. shouldn't you run away, are you from orsi?"
'what... how did he know? if I'm from orsi...!'
