One year and twenty-two days have passed after Mona's return to the lower continents. Everyone goes about their daily lives with various activities that they usually do.
Mona and the others plan to stay longer in Arid Village. But, everyone including them can feel some irregularities that have occurred over the past few days.
The awkwardness occurred with the sudden sound of thunder booming so big that heard in the sky without any sign of rain. The thunder was heard for only about ten seconds, after which there was no sound. It was as if the thunder they had heard wasn't real.
After the awkwardness appeared every day for six days in a row. Therefore, Mona finally decided to return to the star empire along with the rest of her family, because it was enough for her to play around with some of her family members.
Mona, along with the rest of her family, chose to appear in one of the markets close to the imperial palace in the area of emperor Yu, using Mona's teleportation power.
Mona and the others appeared modestly dressed just like the people in the Yu imperial area. It made the people unaware that the imperial family was near them, mingling with them, because the clothes they were wearing made no difference.
Before heading to Yu's imperial court, Mona invites the others to eat at one of her food stores run by her black rose members.
While everyone was eating their meals, Mona spoke to one of her men who worked there, using eye and hand sign language. Mona uses that sign language secretly so as not to cause curiosity from those around her.
After a while, after Mona finished her sign language, she ate her meal. While the black rose member who was spoken to by Mona using the sign language method, she immediately went outside after Mona finished her signal.
After a while, they had finally finished all their meals. Then, they continued their journey towards the Wang empire, to deliver Empress Wang.
*******
"The emperor's majesty, all the problems that have occurred in the village in the western part of the imperial border, have been resolved" said general Kubo, bowing his body slightly to emperor Yu as a sign of his respect.
"In the south has also been resolved, your honor" general Kun Lun revered as a general under general Kubo.
"Has all the problems of agriculture and trade been solved without problems?" ask emperor Yu.
"Yes, your majesty" compact some of the people sent by emperor Yu to solve all the problems that occurred in the village under his imperial rule.
'Aiss,,, I want to vent my frustration, but I'm already too dear. I don't know where my daughter took my beloved wife and grandchildren' emperor Yu can only be deep in her heart while looking straight at her subordinates.
"Whether someone misses us so much that he is confused between wanting to be angry or affectionate with me" Mona's voice echoed in the main hall of Yu's empire.
Everyone turned their faces towards the door of the imperial hall of Yu, to see the owner of the voice that had just echoed. Everyone stared for a moment, for they saw their lordly families whom they had devoted their lives to.
"Uh,,,hu,,,hu, at last the grandchildren of the grandfather have returned" said emperor Yu as he descended from his throne, as he saw that his family had returned after several months of their departure.
Emperor Yu embraced one by one his five grandchildren and Mayumi in turn. When the focus of everyone was directed to emperor Yu who was busy hugging let go of longing with his grandchildren. Mona codes to general Kubo as the chief general to follow her out of the main hall, where everyone is moved.
General Kubo who understood the code from Mona, he immediately followed Mona without informing the people beside him.
"Darling, your grandfather really misses you. Where have you been?" emperor Yu asked, hugging Aina, revealing a childlike expression to his other four grandchildren and his daughter.
"The "streets" were compact to their four small employers except for two people who were so cold.
"Road streets for months?".
"How else, we just follow my father and mother" Nyoko tried to defend herself.
"But you can ask to go back to your old grandfather, to your father and mother?".
"Emmmmm" the four of them just nodded their heads while holding their chin and gazing up at the sky. It was as if they were thinking between the truth and the absence of their grandfather's words.
"Ehem,," Aina cleared her throat as a sign to let everyone know that she was so uncomfortable with emperor Yu who kept hugging her. Emperor Yu was busy talking to his four brothers.
"Ahh,,ha,ha,ha grandfather forgot, that what you were hugging was your grandmother's childhood incarnation and coldness" emperor Yu took off his embrace. Emperor Yu laughed awkwardly, as he saw Aina only revealing a cold and flat facial expression.
"Unfortunately, the emperor's grandfather was there until grandfather already knew how the empress's grandmother was in childhood?" the question from Jun successfully left everyone shocked for a moment.
"My grandson's words have a point as well" Empress Yu seemed to be thinking, as well as the others.
"No, actually your grandfather knew grandma, when she was fifteen and older" Empress Yu continued after thinking for a while.
"So, why would grandpa say that disgust is a little version of grandma?" again the question from Jun silenced everyone.
"Have you eaten yet?" emperor Yu asked trying to change the storyline.
"It's just now, so it's best that the emperor's grandfather don't change the conversation" Aina replied as a smirked smile towards emperor Yu made everyone shudder in horror.
'Sometimes they look very similar in childhood, but his mother is better because she is in the academy. So, we just saw the coldness of her might effect her upbringing in the academy's inner schoolwork everyone compacted by occasionally imagining how Mona used to be when she was little.
"Whether the emperor's grandfather was afraid of disdain, why did the emperor's grandfather stare in the other direction while speaking. Aunt Dera said we should look people in front of us when we talk. If we don't see it, then it's disrespectful" Nene said at the right time according to the others, but not according to emperor Yu. Because his grandson's words were so true.
Emperor Yu could only stare at the faces of his grandchildren in turn without issuing a speech that refuted or justified the statement from Nene.
"Is Dera's disgust the emperor's grandfather's fault?" nene asked to be sure, as emperor Yu did not reply to her words at all.
"Your aunt's teaching is true dear" replied Empress Yu.
"Then, why did the emperor's grandfather,,,," Nene hung up her words while staring at emperor Yu.
"Ehem,,,," the emphatic and resolute Deheman Mona, managed to surprise everyone.
Everyone looked towards Mona who was walking into the main hall along with general Kubo. It makes everyone confused, because they do not see when the two come out. So, suddenly Mona and general Kubo went back into the main hall.
"When did your mother come out?" confused Nyoko while looking at Mona who walked in.
"So, you're busy letting go of longing, so you don't pay attention when your mother comes out".
"Then why are you with my daughter, the general?" empress Yu asked confusedly.
"Mona wants to get out, then of course there must be a escort instead" Mona's answer actually makes everyone feel strange.
"I can't believe that you have to be escorted, it feels very strange. Didn't we?" nyoko's question was approved by everyone.
"Intrue".
"Then, why did the grandfather-general join his mother, if she didn't need a bodyguard?" Nyoko asked because she was so curious.
"Prince, I'm sorry, but sometimes adult affairs don't get too mixed up and it's not time for the prince to know" general Kubo's answer actually makes everyone more curious about what they should not know.
"Sorry" Nyoko bowed feeling scared.
"Are we wrong if we want to ask, mother?" Nene asked as she watched Nyoko at a glance, before she looked at her mother's face to get an answer of her question.
"A question isn't wrong, baby. But, it would be better if you are not too curious about the affairs of adults. Indeed, sometimes the thought of children is wiser than adults, but let for now allow mothers and generations at the age of mothers to think about the future of your grandfather's empire. Because your grandfather is old, so let us the next generation think hard. At this time, your task is to learn the enterprising, so that when the mother is no longer able to think of strategies, then you will replace the mother's generation" Mona says those words in order to make Nyoko not feel guilty because of her questions.
"Your mother was right, not that Grandpa wanted to make you feel guilty like this. But, it would be better and safer for you, if you don't know it. So, forgive your grandfather, if the grandfather's answer scared you to ask again" general Kubo squatted balancing his body with Nyoko's body.
"It's okay grandfather, grandfather doesn't need to apologize, because grandfather is innocent".
"Everyone is innocent, because we're right in a different light. You want to go with your father and mother, or you want to be with your old emperor Yu?".
"Where are you going, son?" empress Yu asked to make sure there was any business what her daughter asked so.
"I want to go to the moon empire and the darkness of my mother, if I go, surely your daughter-in-law will always follow me, right?" the statement as well as the question given by Mona was accompanied by a slightly strange tone. Between wanting to get upset but not being able to, satire but real, so yeah that's it.
"They're here first, baby. Even this father of yours has not had a long time with them" emperor Yu revealed a parched facial expression to make Mona feel pity.
"If that was the reason of my father, my father emperor Wang also only had time to cuddle with them. My father was lucky to have had a brief exchange with my sons. While my father did not hu,,,,hu,,,hu" Mona balanced Emperor Yu's play by occasionally wiping his eyes by using the tip of his sleeve.
"Hu,,,hu,,hu how sad the fate of my father emperor Wang, because he could not play with his grandchildren like my father emperor Yu" Mona ridiculed emperor Yu by occasionally glancing at her father with a look as if she was sad
"Hu,,,hu,,hu you're absolutely right, very right" emperor Yu also just went along pretending to be sad so that he didn't lose this game to his daughter.
Everyone could only stare at the interaction between Mona and emperor Yu who was currently pretending to be sad.
'Hahahaha, father and son alike, are both unwilling to budge' everyone's inner selves as they stare at Mona and emperor Yu in turn, respectively, except for the six children who played the main role of this play.
"What the hell" upset Empress Yu with a tone of emphasis, she was furious at the actions of these two precious people in her life.
"Ehem,, it's nothing, we're friends" compact Mona and emperor Yu while embracing each other as a sign they're better off.
"Huh,, it would be very troublesome if the lioness woke up from her sleep" muttered softly Mona, but because the room was silent. So, everyone can hear his words.
"You're right baby, just imagining it makes my father cringe" the emperor Yu muttered, but again his words were also heard by everyone in the hall.
'Stop this kind of happiness for all of them, God' everyone's inner self.
