THE COLD DAD
WHERE'S THIS..!

for this chapter, it will focus more on the lannox story, so happy reading all.

a magnificent castle that was between the thick fog now appeared, a figure of a man sitting at the end of the castle tower leaning against the night sky.

"hmmmm who is he? no one has ever been able to, take off my seal.I almost got my god.but, who is the one who has foiled my plan.I must get it and kill that person, immediately, because I have dared to interfere in my business, after what I did. I am sure, the others must have started to make movements. Wait for my little goddess, I will soon have you by my side."

the fog closed again until the palace that had just been seen under the foot of the mountain disappeared again in an instant.

"honey.it's late, stop reading books, you can catch it again tomorrow.it's time for you to go to bed my daughter quickly come here, but before that can you keep that ugly animal away from here..!"

gapi who was in Ravella's arms saw Ravella with a face that was clear.

"no dad, if you don't like it! you better let us sleep in my room, and then you won't be bothered by the storm."

lannox looked annoyed at the little dragon, in addition to his cute pretentious behavior, he also always sought the attention of ravella.

'watch out for you, tomorrow I will teach you the basic lesson of the cunning dragon, how dare he take my time with my daughter.'

"alright you can take her with you, but she has to sleep downstairs.no bargaining ravella, I've been kind enough to give you some leeway to take her."

'huh, even with animals.he doesn't want to budge, oh mother how can you survive with a man as selfish as father?'

"alright, but you're sleeping downstairs.If you're afraid to call me, I'll keep you company."

"don't worry son, let me accompany this little dragon, you rancid brat with a small child you don't want to budge."

'even Zionpun defend him, huh just wait for you boy, I will give you a gift tomorrow.'

"have quickly gone to bed ravella."

ravell also climbed into the bed that lannox sleeps, the father who does not want to be away from his son, even while sleeping he will take ravella with him. if ravella refused the Ravell room would be dispensed with by him, even if ravell was refused, ravella who can not do anything can only resigned to the behavior of her father who is sometimes like a child for him.

"all right, dad don't you want to try and meet mom?"

"why are you asking that?"

"either, Ravel felt, father seemed to need mother very much.just try to exclaim mother, ravel sure mother will definitely come to see father."

"let me think about it later, now you go to sleep, baby."

lannox patted his daughter softly on the back, thinking about what her daughter had just said.

"agghhhhh good night dad."

"night dear cup."

lannox kissed his daughter's forehead.

ravell was asleep in an instant, because of the father's concern, after putting his daughter to sleep. Lannox got up from his bed and he opened the window and stood on the side of the balcony while looking at the stars hanging in the night sky, zion continued to pay attention to Lannox's agitated and worried behavior.

"what do you think, kid, you don't usually like this?"

lannox was silent then something fell down her smooth cheeks and then lannox covered her face with both hands.

"i miss my wife Zion so much, I really miss her. hiks.. hiks. see my daughter who is growing up without the affection of a mother by her side. a child as small as him already had to bear a huge burden on his shoulders, until when all this would end Zion! I'm really upset about all this."

"calm down, son, you know! your daughter has a heart as strong as steel.she can certainly pass it because this has become the destiny of your daughter, the god gave her a test not without reason son. calm yourself boy, go back to sleep do not think too much. like your daughter said, why don't you just try your son's proposal? who knows if you could actually meet him!"

"huh, I don't know! I'm not sure, it could just be a child's imagination because he missed his mother too much."

"hmmm my advice you try it first, whether or not it's business later.You'll know the answer, after trying it not."

lannox reflected back on what Zion had told her, after a long time of pondering gazing into the silent silence of the night.

they went back inside, Lannox locked the window and lay down next to her daughter, stroking the head of a ravella who had fallen asleep while Zion slept coiled on the side of the gapi.

'what am I trying, as Zion said.'

"Arabella.if it's true what our daughter says, I want to hug you I miss you so much my wife. Arabel.. ara..! uh."

because of fatigue while crying lannoxpun sleep soundly fetch his beautiful dreams.

zion smiled looking at the father and son who looked like

baby for him.

"so so! deservedly, the emperor looks very familiar with your grandson!"

"yes the emperor loved the boy very much, the boy was very lucky to have such a great teacher like the emperor, yes it is undeniable, I alone, as his grandfather was envious to see the familiarity of the boy with the emperor. but also at the same time feel very proud of him, because it has a grandson smart and strong like him."

"yes, thankfully he didn't go down that ugly trait of yours."

"it's good you're talking! what's wrong! having a trait like me, I'm just proud of myself. I'm strong handsome and also smart."

but zaku did not realize that Juras were no longer beside him.

"huh where did that black dragon go..! like ghosts, come and go as you please. The ugly dragon always just like that."

"click, hey where's our chairman? why isn't he at the headquarters..!"

"it's not that he doesn't want to be disturbed, just let it go, maybe he's out to calm his mind for a moment."

"yes I hope so!"

"what do you mean, rey?"

"not only that, I suspect he's trying to do something crazy.it could be that he hasn't given up yet!"

"hmmm you're right too..! let's just wait for news from him."

"how about the other team! did they solve the puzzle? or maybe they have already completed their mission!"

"we'll wait for news from Rog! hmm yes already, we better just sleep now. there is still a lot of work, which awaits us tomorrow."

"yes you're right! dean"

'what place is this, I've never been here.where is this?'

a vast garden full of colorful flowers, beautiful butterflies alight and go busy by themselves, as a gentle breeze carrying the birds dancing among the beautiful trees like flowers.

'where's this..! is this heaven?'

when Lannox was busy enjoying the true beauty of nature, the blue nun was seen the back of a long-haired girl who was swinging her legs on the lip of the lake. the girl was wearing a simple dress and beautiful purple pastel like her beautiful hair she hummed melodiously while rubbing water with her feet.

'who is that girl! do I approach him, who knows the possibility that he knows this place.!

lannox approached the woman, and began to ask.

"excuse me, sorry lady.do you know where this place is."

the woman stopped humming, then looked back where Lannox was. she smiled and stood up., slowly she approached the man in front of her. Lannox was amazed as if he could not believe what she saw, a beautiful figure with bright purple hair that glowed softly like the moon. unconsciously tears fell from the cheeks of lannox and he did not budge at all. the tears were getting louder, the woman also felt her sadness, she approached the lannox and hugged it gently.

"ti..no you.ngkin, are you really my wife Arabella?"

"of course honey, it's me your wife"

lannox immediately returned Arabella's embrace and hugged her tightly as if she could disappear at any time.

"arable knows you! how I miss you so much, why would you leave me with a little princess! because of your loss I dumped our innocent daughter, I vented my anger on her without her knowing why."

"honey, calm down this is not your fault.all is the will of fate, you must replace me to protect our daughter.remember not to be too hard on her, you must educate her with gentleness, you must educate her with gentleness, in order for her to be a graceful female figure with motherly nature."

lannox grabbed Arabella's hand and invited her to sit in the garden. After lannox sat down first then he pulled his wife to his side and hugged her tightly as if he did not want to let go, he said, he does not want time to pass if he can stop the time he will do so that the moment with his wife will never end.

"i was a little harsh with our daughter, but I did it because I didn't want to lose her baby. I've lost you enough."

lannox tightened his arms and he drowned his face in Arabella's neck, and he inhaled the fragrant scent of his wife who he had long longed for.

"my wife. Can't you take me away with you?"

arabella held tightly onto Lannox's hand that did not want to let go of her embrace.

"hmm it's not time for you to go with me. Baby can you let go of your embrace first?"

"no, I won't let go, you'll want to go again and leave me alone right!. Don't you know how lonely I am without you by my side, I miss you so much arabel! I miss your potent nature, I miss your gentle caress, your gaze, the warmth you gave me I miss everything about you."

"hmm, but you cheated baby!"

"why did you say I cheated?"

"look at this, it's not fair that only you can hold me, while I can't."

Arabella complains of spoiled on lannox

"oh I'm sorry my wife, so what do you want me to do? who told you to leave me, now feel for yourself the impact. haha"

"sad please let go first, I promise tonight I won't go anywhere I'll be with you."

"really! you promise you won't leave me?"

"i promise you, my husband, I'll be with you tonight so let go of your hands."

"alright I'll let you go my wife Muach."

lannox felt anxious and then kissed Arabella's cheeks, Arabella moved her seat position, who turned her back to her husband now facing lannox, still in the lannox's lap now they face. lannox continued to look into the beautiful eyes of his wife and Arabella was embracing the neck of her husband Lannox back embrace his wife's waist and bring their faces closer while removing the long-lasting longing he had endured, they soon lay down and fell asleep hugging.

"cheer look at her sickening face! can-can't he smile sweetly while asleep so. did he manage to meet his wife Arabella? it turns out that sweet love will be very painful if separated, especially because of death, they will be a wound that makes someone languish for a lifetime because of deep longing. but love can also be toxic if it is not balanced, and will be a frightening specter when both parties are not healthy. and the one who gets hurt is the one who plants the most love until it is born into excessive affection, and becomes an obsession."

'the word love is scary.'

"lannox, baby, wake up the night will change in the morning, soon the sun will wake up from the throne."

"but I still want to be alone with you my wife."

"honey, please wake up not like this. don't you feel sorry for our daughter who is beside you!"

"what's wrong with our daughter? isn't he also fast asleep!"

"hmm don't you know the character of our daughter! if you keep sleeping, he'll definitely take the chance to escape."

"what's escaped!"

lannox immediately woke up and looked at Arabella.

"honey don't scare me like that!"

"if I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have woken up!"

"basically, it turns out my wife still likes to be ignorant.."

lannox pinched Arabella's nose slowly, and Arabella only complained of being spoiled. Not long before Arabella held onto Lannox's face with both hands.

"my husband it's time for me to leave. Remember to take good care of our daughter.if you miss me please call my name three times.if the gods allow me to come into your dreams."

Arabella floated flying upward as if drawn with an invisible figure.Lannox stood holding Arabella's hands that would be released.

"wait don't go Arabel, don't leave me.. Arabella.....! Arabella huh. huh. huh. huh. it was just a dream"

'but it feels real, the touch of time we spent together.'

"how? have you seen him??"

lannox rubbed his face and got up and washed his face, and took a sword and took it for morning exercise.Zion followed the lannox but before leaving, he put up a barrier for ravella and gapi, and then took it for morning exercise.Zion followed the lannox, so that when they leave no one can disturb the sleep of his beloved goddess.

"this way it's safe. hey boy you look different than last night, what happened..! did it work..?"

"bwusshhhh.. bwusshhhh. sir sir, huh. huh. huh. huh. can you shut up!"

after warming up and making sweat. lannox sat in the pavilion in the garden.

"how could I be silent if I saw the boy who was crying last night sobbing in front of me. now it's weird and excited."

lannox's cheeks flushed in embarrassment and tried to avoid Zion's gaze.

"hahaha I know that face very well."

"hush can you go.!"

"no, I'm not leaving until I get an answer from you?"

zion keeps following the lannox wherever the lannox goes.

"all right I give up, I'll tell you what happened."

"really! it means that my god doesn't lie, then you're so mean to doubt your own daughter."

"i never doubted Zion, only I was too afraid to hope.I always dismissed my daughter's talk, I always considered it children's imagination."

"yes but after trying it, do you still think it's an imagination?"

lannox smiled with satisfaction.

"no, no longer. from now on I will not doubt and will always believe what my daughter says."

"can you get rid of that bitter smile of yours, why do you look so annoying huh..!"

"hahaha eat it you look for a partner Zion, later you will understand what I feel. love cannot be expressed in words, but must be felt with heart and feeling, he said, you will understand what love means"

"already... I better just go, you're not cool anymore. just go out there, with your sword, don't mind me anymore heh."

"hahaha today you're so funny Zion."

"cih.cih.cih look at the side effects when he only met through a dream, but his attitude so changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

'haah. but I'd rather see him as he is now, looking carefree, his face so like a kid who just got a new toy hahahahahah. why now I feel like I've raised a boy.'

"morning zion! you look so happy this morning..! has something good happened to you..?"

"eh grandfather jura,..! since when were you there?"

"hahaha you are indeed very similar to your grandfather son!"

"i'm not likened to that flirtatious old man."

"maha.."…
