The Dark Heir
The disclosure of the secret

"It was the Hellhound, the terrible dog of darkness..."

My whole body felt like it was freezing after hearing what Nyx said.The words uttered by Nyx were completely unexpected.

"You're kidding, aren't you?" I'm going to give back to Nyx who's still looking at me.

Nyx shook her head.Newly this time I saw Nyx acting seriously.

"You should know Gerald, warn your family.You don't want them to die horribly, do you?" answer Nyx.

I bowed my head.But I remember Robert told me about the Hellhound.When they were little, Hellhounds did look like ordinary dogs.But someday they will grow into wild creatures with red eyes and fire breath.

"Alright, I'll tell them", I replied.

Nyx just silently looked at me with her face that looked very worried.I clenched both my hands.Of course I never thought that someday there would be a big threat coming to my family.

"Hi Gerald! I came back" Erina said opening my room door.

I immediately raised my bowed head.Erina must not know anything about what Lilia brought.I must not drag her into a dangerous situation anymore.

"Ha-hai Erina", I answered a little nervously.

"What's going on?" suddenly asked Erina.

See it? This kid is really a monster.Erina's instructions are too sharp so this makes me quite nervous.

"What do you mean? Nothing happened to me", I replied.

Erina looked at my face sharply.I decided to turn my face away.

"seen? You don't even want to see my face" Erina said

"No, your face is too close" I replied.

Erina just silently pecked.His innocent face looks completely clueless what I told her.Sometimes I forget she is just a 6-year-old child.

"Hmmm so..."

I nodded wrongly.This child's behavior made me unable to concentrate.

"Hey Gerald, are you here?" said a man opening the door.

Robert was seen opening the door to my room with his left hand carrying a book.

Ah, thank you Robert.You helped me avoid Erina's instincts.

"Well, it turns out that Erina is here too" said Robert waving his right hand.

"Hello brother Robert, how are you?" reply Erina with a big smile.

"My news is fine, how about you?" replied Robert.

"My news is very good, thank you for asking", Erina retorted bowing her body paying her respects.

Behind her innocent and passionate attitude, I never thought that Erina could be this elegant.

"Ah I almost forgot.Gerald, father is waiting for you in his study", continued Robert turned his eyes to me.

I immediately nodded at Robert.If you've called me to his study, it means that there's something very important that you'll tell me.

"Then I will return to my house, next time I will come back.See you Gerald!" erina waved her hand at me.

After I came out of the room, I clenched my hands together.I had to tell dad about the little dog Lilia was carrying.

"Nyx, are you with me?" my many.

"Yes, of course", replied Nyx while winking one eye.

"Alright, then stay with me", I continued.

I squeezed my hands together.I really should tell dad.Shopped my feet towards dad's study with Nyx following me from behind.

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

"Alright Nyx, here it is" I said, preparing to open the door to my father's office.

It took a little energy to push this door.At the same time the cold aura was felt from inside the father's office.

Dad's room is full of thick books.Kurasa Robert often borrow books here.

The afternoon sunlight entered through the window glass.There was seen a grown man who was none other than the father.

The atmosphere around the father feels quite cold.Entah father is intentionally or does not give off his cold aura.

"Ahh hello Gerald, let's sit in front of dad. And Claude, please get us both a glass of tea" Dad asked as soon as he saw me standing at the door.

I sat right in front of my dad, and Claude went to get us some tea and snacks.

"You're getting bigger, Gerald, this year is the time for kids your age to get their magic power, have you shown any signs of your magic awakening?" ask dad with a smile.

"I'm sorry dad, I haven't shown any signs of my magic awakening at all" I replied bowed languidly.

Do I feel envious? Of course I feel envious.Seeing Erina who can already cast her fire magic makes me want more magic power.

Suddenly my father sat down beside me.He patted me gently on my back, encouraging me.

"You don't have to be sad Gerald, a lot of kids your age who only had power when they were 8, you're 6 years old son, you don't have to be sad" he said, patting me on the back.

I smiled at my father.Although father knew that I would be late for strength, at least he still supported me.

"Dad can I tell you something?" ask me dad.

"Of course I can" replied the father.

I looked at Nyx who was in front of me.He nodded at me, supporting myself to tell father the truth.

"Regarding something that Lilia brought, do you know what it was?" I said to dad.

"What do you think Lilia brought?" ask me father throw back a question.

"Lilia does look like she's carrying a puppy, but it's not really a normal dog" I replied.

"Then what is it?" ask the father with his face starting to get serious.

"I think Lilia brought the Hellhound, the dog from the darkness" I replied nervously

I closed my eyes.I was afraid that my father would feel very angry and eventually decided to throw or even kill the dog.

"Dad was so surprised, son, how do you know?" answer me normally.

"I-I was just expecting it"

"And great is that your conjecture is true" replied the father.

I fell silent.Redirect my gaze to my father.His attitude looks very cold, there is no warmth at all.

"What do you mean?" my many.

"You're great, son, you really look like me.Your father can tell the difference between dark creatures and ordinary creatures" replied the father.

"How did you know?" I continue who is still curious.

"The experience of son, even father can feel also the existence of the creatures of darkness" replied the father looking at me sharply.

My whole body feels like electrocuted.My body suddenly goosebumps.Kulik Nyx who was silent, did not move in the slightest.

"Like your dark friend the girl, I know all about her" he continued, pointing at Nyx.

Nyx just fell silent, surprised by the father who was pointing at her.So was I who was fixated on seeing dad.

Instantly the area around the workspace became very cold.With the hands of the father who began to freeze.

Seriate....
