THE COLD DAD
THE BARON FAMILY MASSACRE

Tok. tok. tok.., there was a knock from behind the door. Ravella immediately told him to come in.

"Princess please drink the tea, and paint the chocolate you ordered."

"Yes. Just put it there."

"Good princess."

"Where's Marri? I never saw you before. Are you the new waitress? And what's your name?"

"Na..name.I'm Princess Wanda, I'm the new waiter. I replaced Marri briefly, because he was being called Chief Servant."

"Oh, okay. You can go"

"Good Princess."

'I drank the tea that the waiter brought without hesitation, it was like reading a book while accompanied by warm tea and cookies, it was delicious. But, k-k-why did my head become pu-si-ng..'

Praannnkkkk. The sound of a glass breaking something fell.

"What princesses are lying in. don't help.." cried the servant.

"Bbusssshhh. Report to Your Majesty!"

"What's up..?"

"Mr Princess found ti-ti,"

"What's wrong with my daughter? Don't beat around the word Perro's clear."

"The Princess was found unconscious in Her Majesty."

"What???" Lannox, immediately ran running in panic with a pale expression. "Call the best doctor quickly, now" he ordered.

"Your Majesty."

***

"How's my daughter doing??"

"Your Majesty, it looks like your daughter has been poisoned. And this poison is deadly. There is no cure for this poison."

"What?? poisoning..!" Lannox looked surprised, like being struck by lightning during the day.

"Your Majesty, I-I'm sorry, this poison still has no cure."

"Shut your mouth, I don't want to know your reason, you have to treat my daughter. Otherwise, your life will be in its place."

"But.. Your Majesty, this poison does not have a cure.. Only a miracle we can hope for."

"Silent.. I don't want to know, you think of any way that, if you can't be of any use, you'd rather die now."

Lannox pulled out his sword..

"Pardon me, Your Majesty, I will do it.. " The doctor saluted him to go find an antidote for poison. Even if he doesn't know what to do?

Lannox hugged Ravella tightly, she cried as if her daughter had left.

"Ravel.. wake up...!"

Suddenly a red aura shot out from his body.The anger released completely panicked the entire mansion.

No one could even move, because of the immense pressure from the fury of a Duke.

"Brazed, whoever poisoned my daughter..?! I won't let him die so easily. The five of you, find the culprit who poisoned my daughter. And investigate her origin, search now and bring her to me quickly..!!!"

"Your Majesty."

Ravella's body grew pale and began to cool, her lips slowly turning blue.

Lannox panicked more and more with what she saw, her hands trembling in fear of imagining what was happening.

"No-no.. Ravel, hang on, son, I'll find an antidote for you. Please hold on, my daughter."

He placed Ravella on his lap, and hugged her very tightly.

"There's still so much we haven't done, son. Hold on, baby, please hold on."

Suddenly Ravell's body emitted a bright light, his face was turning blue and cold, now starting to refresh again.

"Uh, w-what happened??" lannox was surprised.

Ravella's body suddenly floated high in the air. Lannox who witnessed the incident was surprised by what she saw.

"Zion, what happened to my daughter???" His eyes were wet and puffy, turning surprised.

"Well, as long as it's okay, then we don't have to worry" said Zion, who knows everything.

Lannox did not blink looking at her daughter, the Princess's paled skin, now a radiant white and fresher.

Her lips were blue, had again turned as red as a peach. He had recovered from the poison that had frozen his body..

The body that started to cool down has warmed up again. His eyes opened slowly, appearing the color of the coals, which was very beautiful from his eyes.

Suddenly seven strange lights appeared! who kept surrounding the beautiful girl.

The girl's eyes closed again among the seven lights that surrounded her.

Golden light is most prominent among other lights, because it has the same light as Ravella's.

The light then changed, the light moved over Ravella's head, and shone brightly like a crown that shaded over her head.

While the other six lights continued to shade the body of the goddess, as if protecting her from danger.

"Oh, god.Your son is really like a Goddess descending from the sky, I doubt that you are his father!!

It's just not appropriate for him to have a father like you, Hahaha." Zion laughed at the Master.

zion's voice resuscitated from the astonishment, and immediately responded to Zion's words.

"I'm even more sorry if I don't become his father. However, I am very grateful, for having such a Princess.

She kept giving me unexpected surprises, scaring me even more, seeing her. I didn't want to let go of my daughter, to anyone."

"Huh.. What do you mean?? One day he'll definitely get married, and find a man who's more handsome than you."

Lannox grinned coldly.

"If that happens, I will destroy his existence without a remnant. I don't want my Daughter to be played with these bastard Men, just can't."

"Hem.. Looks like you're good at being a fucking guy, yeah, until you figure it out."

"Currently, it seems like you're useless here." Lannox looked at Zion with a cold gaze.

"Hey.don't look at me like that. Tumben once the person who from earlier cried, now has a lot of raving about things that are not yet clear in the future."

Lannoxpun was silent and did not argue, Because that is what is happening now.he was also surprised, why he is babbling a lot today, is it possible because of his daughter.

His body slowly went back down the basket. And then Lannox caught him, smiling at the open orange netra.

The flame embers emanated clearly from her two beautiful eyes, The tiny hand reaching for Father's cheek.

"Dad..Did you cry?" said Ravella who just regained consciousness. Lannox hugged her daughter.

"Dad didn't cry, Dad's eyes were just dusted"

Ravella smiled at him.

'Lying, how could I not know, I've seen it all.' He murmured in his heart.

Ravella embraced her father, and kissed him on the cheek and forehead. Lannox felt good seeing her daughter. Then he kissed her head back.

"Thank you for coming back, son." Then he hugged his Daughter again, His affection for his Daughter is getting bigger and bigger.

the entire Mansion seemed to be in disbelief with the changes that had happened to Duke. But they were also happy to see the usually neglected Princess, now endowed with a lot of affection.

Not only did the Duke change, even the knights, as well as the servants, also loved the Princess even more.

'I must quickly eradicate the rats that harm my Daughter, I will not calm down as long as they have not been exterminated.

And about what happened to my daughter, no one should know. If not, they'll go after him and make him my weakness.

That can't happen, I have to protect my daughter even tighter.'

"Dad, I think I know who poisoned me!"

"What's? tell me who Nak is! who's the guy?"

"Mmm. Her name is Wanda. He said he was the new waiter, and he was the one who delivered me cookies and tea.

Because he said my personal servant was called by the butler, so he replaced Marri temporarily.

That's all Ravel knew, Dad. could it help the investigation?."

Lannox got up to her daughter and hugged her.

"Don't worry son, I'll protect you. For now, you enjoy your time quietly, and you're free to play. But still can't be far from my sight ."

"Daddy.." Ravella hugged the Duke tightly..

"Yes baby..!"

"Is Ravel really Dad's son..?"

"Hem..," Lannox looked at her daughter with a look of confusion. "What did you say Ravella? Do you doubt your father so much?"

"Yes, who knows! if I was just a pick-up boy, because Dad felt sorry for me.

That's why my father told me, Isn't it because of that, my father used to ignore my existence often..???" The look of sadness on his daughter's face.

"Ravel, don't ever talk like that again. If anyone heard it, they would just believe it and make new rumors about this family.

And it needs to be clarified again, my daughter, throw your bad thoughts away. Because all of that is not true at all. You are my real daughter, son.

And the color of your eyes is yours. And the shape of your face is all similar to your mother's. And I'm your real father. You are proof of our love, son. So never doubt that's my daughter. Do you understand, baby?"

Ravella nodded and re-embraced her father.

"Ravel, tomorrow we're riding. You have to learn to ride a horse."

"alright. As long as you're happy, I agree."

***

"wush.wush.. How, did you guys find the culprit..?"

"His Majesty, they are from the Baron family. And the one who tried to kill the Princess was his wife.

The Baroness Winnia Charlotte. Mmm. and the reason for wanting to kill the Princess is because you threw it away."

"So so! It doesn't make any sense. Then kill all his family, and leave him to me. Next let me take care of it."

"Your Majesty. wushh. wushhh.

***

In the Baron's residence, the Sword continued to wield the Baron family without exception. Baron Deniass Romiress was also mercilessly killed. Even his children also became victims of the Duke's annoyance. There is only one person left alive, his wife.

The day after, the news of the Baron family massacre really seized the public attention, and the cause of the ration is unknown.

The servants heard the rumors of the Baron family massacre, until the news reached the Duke. The silver-haired man, was sitting smiling looking out the window.

"Now your daughter, it's really safe boy. Maybe for now it is safe, but we do not know in the future, and you have to prepare for the worst possibility" Zion said.

"Yes, my daughter's care must also be tightened again. No one should know if my daughter's powers have awakened, this is happening too quickly, and beyond estimation. It should have awakened at the age of eleven!"

"Yes, and no doubt, there are still many other surprises that we will see, because your daughter is really very special."

Lannox was silent at Zion's words.

after finishing the task of slaughtering, the shadow knight came to report.

"Good work.Today I give you a day off, and rest. Because after this there will be a new mission for all of you!"

"Ready Your Majesty." They disappeared.

"Daughter, do you still want to drink tea..?"

"No need Marri, just bring me some water."

"Good Princess."

'I love to be in this lake, really calm and feel at home.'

as Ravella enjoys her leisure time, suddenly appears at a greeting.

"You're here Ravella..! As expected, this place is really comfortable, isn't it....?"

"Ah, Prince. Respect for the prince. When did you come? Why wasn't I told!"

"I came here on purpose after conferring with the Duke."

"Concerning.., what is the prince's problem?"

"There was chaos in the east, the monsters raged and many victims were found. Most of the victims died in terrible circumstances. Their bodies were torn apart by huge scratches. And that's why I came here."

"Means Dad, will be assigned there?"

"Yes, and they'll move in three days."

"It's so fast."

"Ravel for that.., come with me, as long as Duke, isn't here. It's my duty to take care of you."

"Sorry Prince, I will remain here.The Duke's residence must not be empty."

"But I'm so worried about you, Vella." Denfin.

"What does Prince mean..?"

"I don't know, I've heard the news that you were poisoned. And this is not the first time it has happened. Vella, come with me. Let me take care of you."

"Thank you for the Prince's attention. But sorry, I really can't go. I'm sorry, I still have business, I'll take my leave first."

Ravella leaves Denfin alone. And Denfin stared dejectedly at the departure of the long silver hair that was unraveling so beautifully.

'Why the more I approach you, the more you move away from me, ravella!.' Denfin said in his heart.

***

"Dad.."

"Ravel..?" Ravella came over to Lannox, and immediately hugged her while crying a mouthful.

"What's Ravel, who's bothering you son? Tell dad who dares to make my daughter cry..! is that the goddamn Prince?"

"Hiks. hyks.. Dad don't curse, and it's not the prince."

"Then who? Tell Dad." Lannox panicked and started to get upset.

Ravella wiped her tears, and cupped her face with her two small hands.

"Did you really want to know?"

"Yes.. Tell me who's son??"

"The culprit, Father himself..."

"D.WHAT..!! What did you do to you? until you cry like this."

"Why don't you tell me that you're going to slaughter the Monsters. That's very dangerous, can you not go...?"

"Huhh.so that's why you're crying? What do you think. Don't worry, baby, I won't be long."

"But it's very dangerous Dad, let alone his enemy is the Monsters. I don't want Daddy to do anything."

"Calm Ravel, don't underestimate your father, son. Even Dad can finish off the monsters himself.

Isn't this indeed already Father's duty as imperial protector! And Dad used to do it. So no need to worry. Don't cry anymore, my daughter, just tell me what animal you want to bring."

"no need. As long as Dad gets home safely, that's enough for me." Lannox hugged her daughter, then carried her.

"It's time for dinner, son."

"Mmh. Yes Dad."

After dinner, the two returned to the room.

"Sleep, baby."

"didn't you sleep?"

"In the meantime, because there's still a little bit of work. I'll finish it first. Go to sleep, I'll finish."

"Yes Dad, don't stay up too late, good night."

Lannox kissed her daughter's forehead, shortly after Ravella fell asleep.

"Dante get out"

"Bwuss yeah.. Your Majesty."

"Command the shadow warriors, from the day after tomorrow, we'll move."

"Your Majesty."

"And the four of you, take care of my daughter. I've put the Aura Tattoo on my Daughter's arm, if anything happens to her, I'll be able to feel it. And I'll be right back. Remember, watch over my daughter with your life bets."

"Whoever Your Majesty, we will do it."

The night is getting late, Lannox sleep hugging his favorite Princess. Suddenly all the rest of the palace fell asleep, including the shadow guards guarding Ravella.

Then a bright light appeared in Lannox's room, appearing someone out of the light.

A handsome handsome man, golden-eyed, with his long dark black hair. Wearing a golden robe that wrapped her entire beautiful body.

the color of the Golden net lit up, staring at Ravella who was sound asleep.

"Hem is so funny when he's asleep."

Then the man's hand took out his transparent robe, and wrapped it around the two of them with one finger. The robe floated and fused on the bodies of both Father and Son.

"This cloak will keep you from any attack, especially this brat."

And then came out, another robe, which was a bright blue.

"And this is for you Zion, this cloak will protect you from any Monsters attack."

He stared fixedly at Ravella's face, grinning.

"Hmm. We'll meet again my Empress."

Ravell's body again floated high, and approached the figure of the man. Then the man kissed Ravella's forehead gently, after which Ravella's body floated back in the sagging that she was sleeping with the Father.

"For now, this is the only help I give you, so that you will not grieve anymore my Empress. Hmm it seems, it's time I came back."

The man disappeared into the light again. The entire sleeping palace had now regained consciousness, including the shadow guards.

"Eh, why can I fall asleep..!"

everything was confused with what happened, everything has returned to normal. Zion, who had fallen asleep, was conscious.

'How can I sleep? This is really weird!'

Zion stood guard again, unaware that her body had been given a magic robe. By someone who no one knew of his whereabouts, only the night became a silent witness to the events of that night.
