The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 33 - Day after day thinking of you
“Kral, can't you guys come back? This is not because for the sake of your mother, but I also really want you back.. All this time I was very lonely to be in Hawkingson alone, one family,” said Hefaistos, pleading with his first son.
“Only because of that you don't have to worry. My mother and two sisters are back. You don't need to have any more reason not to have family in Hawkingson.”.
“If there's nothing you want to say anymore.. I go first.” Kral rejected Hephasitus's own request and left his father alone at the site.
“You're right, son, but can't a father want all his children to be next to him?” Hefaistos murmured after Kral left.

Kral went to the dining room to join the rest of his family.
“Kral, where have you been?” Ask Artemis.
“I'm just looking for fresh air mom,” replied the man.
“Did you see your father? She since daritadi also does not look the same as you.” Ask Artemis once again.
Before long the person asked by Artemis also entered the room to join them.
“Oh, it turns out you have come..” Artemis said.
“Where have you been? Were you guys together before?” Artemis continued, asking Hephaestus and also Kral.
“Iy..”
“No mother... I also from earlier did not see father.” Just as Hephaestus was about to answer, his son immediately preceded him.
Kral seemed to lie saying that he was not with Hephaestus, whom they had previously talked about a matter that Artemis would soon know.
“Eh... I look for fresh air outside, but did not meet with Kral before.” Hephaestus then gave another answer without telling the truth.
Hefaistos did not dispute the Kral's lies and preferred to join them all.
***
A few moments later everyone else still had not left the room. They continued to sit while laughing laughing at each other.
They will not end the moment of happiness quickly because it rarely happens to them all.
“Oh well brother, actually we are still out of one more person because we are on a mission.” Lucierence said to Artemis.
“Who is that guy?” Ask Artemis, curious.
“He is Kenrow... Have you forgotten?” Answer Lucierence.
“Kenrow…? You mean dad? You are so presumptuous to call dad just by his name,” said Artemis.
“By the way why is dad still active in his old age? And why did he go on a mission?”
Lucierence explains that their father, Kenrow Silkbar, went with the Lightio army to help Tsureya's country against Geracie's country.
Although in his old age and became one of the oldest Continent Venerate Lightio today, the man still remains active as a soldier Lightio, like still in his golden days.
In addition, the two countries discussed are two allied countries located between the borders of the continent of Greune and Antikara, which have been conflicting since the past.
“But take it easy brother.. I'm sure dad will not be late when your coronation ceremony returns to be vice president of the magician Lightio,” Lucierence said.
“Iya, I also hope she is present as well.” response Artemis.

Moments later, as it was late at night, their chatting activities slowly began to finish. One by one the people who were in the room started to go to get some rest.
After everyone left the room, Hephaistos and Artemis remained.
“You haven't slept?” Ask Artemis.
“Eh, yes I still want to relax first.. How about you?” Hephaestus answered, then asked back.
“I also think of things with you.”
Neither Hephaestus nor Artemis seemed willing to leave the room. They seem to want to say something to each other.
“There's something I want to ask you..”
“You first..” Say Hefaistos.
“No, you're the first.” Reply Artemis.
“Alright..” Hefaistos also relented as a man.
“For sixteen years over this is...”.
“What is it?” Artemis became curious when the man suddenly stopped talking.
“It.... Eh... Do you still miss me?” Hephaistos asked, a little stammered.
Artemis was a little surprised to hear it, making her also immediately speechless to think of something.
“I know you were very angry because I was more concerned with this country than our daughter. But, day by day I did not stop thinking about Megathirio and Zchaira.
“You think I don't either? You think it's easy to live far away with the person she loves? I also think for days about you.. Also miss you a lot.”.
Hephaestus could only be silent on the statement of Artemis. He did not expect that the woman would respond to his words like that.
“Eh...” Artemis was aware of what she said and made her face red.
At the same time Hephaestus and Artemis had Zchaira standing with her canoe in front of the entrance of the room.
“I also want to be honest.. I actually want to tell you to rest..”.
“Sorry because daritadi stood here and accidentally heard everything you guys were talking about.” Zchaira said.
Artemis and Hephaistos were embarrassed when one of their children listened to each other's statements of longing.
“Wait a minute... Stay there.” Artemis will stand from where he sits, but immediately stopped by Zchaira.
The girl went out to look at the scene outside the room which turned out that no one was passing by.
“OK... Please just continue what you want to talk about..”.
“But, after you have finished your rest, mother... Mr. Hefaistos...” After saying this Zchaira immediately ran away from where he left them.
***
“Sial... I had to listen to the conversation of the two of them,” muttered Zchaira, feeling uncomfortable hearing private talks from both parents.
“You haven't slept Zchaira?”
“Ah..!” Zchaira suddenly heard someone talking to her.
After Zchaira calmed down, it turned out that Kral, her oldest brother was nearby.
“Eh... You haven't slept,” ask the girl.
“While I asked you first.”.
“I... Previously woke up and realized that mom was not with me. So I looked for her,” replied Zchaira.
“So you still like to sleep with mom? Well, it does not hurt for the youngest child.” Kral said.
“By the way I heard you call dad by the name of sir.. Why?” The man continued, asking.
“I'm sorry because I'm still a little awkward to call Mr. Hefaistos by the name of father..”.
“What Megathirio is like too?”
“Iya..” Say Zchaira, rather awkward.
Kral smiled for a moment at Zchaira's explanation calling their father master, but his expression turned serious.
“Zchaira... Father you may call me like that, but I will not accept if you also call me master,” said Kral.
“Then I want to hear you call me brother.”.
Zchaira was silent to the words of his brother. Actually, the girl also felt awkward having to call her brother who had just met with the name of brother.
