"Although this doesn't hurt but .. huh." Zovarein smiled bitterly.
"A-dad.how is it possible, I-I .." Rurina was shocked when she found out that her knife stabbed Zovarein in the neck to the other side.
Yvier who was next to Rurina was also very surprised, he did not know since when Zovarein was there.
"Dad's fine don't put on a face like that." Zovarein said as he took off the knife that pierced his neck slowly.
"But I ..."
"Huh... Elgard brought that trash here." Zovarein said without looking.
Elgard, who had not realized Zovarein's presence behind him, was immediately shocked to death, he saw his father taking off a knife from his neck with Rurina in shock before his father, just by looking at that he understood the situation and immediately darted behind Tyras and held both hands while being carried towards Zovarein.
The knife was released and blood that looked like red crystals rushed out from Zovarein's neck profusely, which made Rurina turn even more pale.
But Zovarein did not change the look of his face, indicating that it was not a problem at all, he pointed his right hand covered in green light on his neck, then slowly the hollow neck began to regenerate rapidly, no less than five seconds until the wound was perfectly closed.
"Look, your father is fine." Zovarein said with a smile to Rurina.
Without replying to Zovarein's words, Rurina hugged him tightly while crying out for fear of his father whom she had stabbed just now, feeling very guilty even though it was completely unintentional.
"Dad you're finally home, we've been waiting here long enough." Elgard said as he walked towards Zovarein while dragging Tyras in his right hand.
"So, sorry to make you wait too long." Said Zovarein while stroking Rurina's head gently to calm her down.
...----------------...
"I'm sorry I hurt you..." Rurina lowered her head.
Zovarein saw his gloomy daughter feeling guilty, however it was his fault that appeared suddenly behind Rurina.
"There's no need to apologize like that, it should be Dad who apologized for making you cry like that", Zovarein raised the face of the lowered Rurina.
"But.."
"Nothing but, your father came here because he missed you two, not to see Daddy's daughter crying like this." Zovarein said with a small smile, even though Rurina is a 3409-year-old teenager who lives 600 years to adulthood, in her eyes Rurina is still her precious little daughter.
"Dad, you didn't bring any souvenirs at all?" Asked Elgard who did not read the atmosphere at all, even Yvier who was standing a bit away from them was quite annoyed by his attitude.
"Didn't you hold on to her?" Zovarein asked as he stared strangely at Elgard.
"Me, holding it?" Elgard saw his left hand holding nothing, and when he saw his right hand, he understood what his father meant by souvenirs.
"Of course, why would I bring such an obscure creature here? besides you don't take it yourself, share it with your sister." Zovarein commemorates Elgard.
"Just calm down, I won't ruin it too much, Rurina will get her share later!" Said Elgard who immediately left carrying Tyras with a big smile full of evil plans on his face towards the torture chamber.
"Look who forgot his father." Zovarein said with a sigh, while Rurina who was next to him laughed at her brother's behavior, it seemed like she was feeling better.
Zovarein turned his attention to Yvier who was standing in the corner of the room. "What are you doing there?" Zovarein asked as he looked strangely at Yvier.
"Ti-no, I don't want to bother you with Miss so ..." Yvier was nervous to the wrong behavior, he also missed Zovarein very much but he did not want to interfere at all.
Seeing Yvier like that made Zovarein smile, he looked at Rurina who was next to him. "Rurina, quickly get your sister here." Zovarein said in a small voice that made Rurina shocked, since when did she have an older sister? thought.
But when he saw his father who was looking at Yvier, he also remembered that a few days ago Yvier had told him that Zovarein took care of him from childhood to adulthood, he even taught her magic and always protected her well.
Stupidly he who at that time did not understand the reason Yvier told him that, he immediately looked at Yvier fixedly, how could he not realize such a small thing, how could he not realize such a small thing, from the eyes of Yvier alone can be seen that he misses his father as much as he does, but he is not aware of it at all.
He looked at his father to be sure, while Zovarein only nodded indicating that he was not lying at all.
"Then Your Majesty and Miss, I say goodbye first." Then Yvier turned around and intended to open the door of the room.
Looking at Yvier who was about to leave, Rurina immediately stood up and dashed quickly towards Yvier and hugged him from behind, like a guilty little sister he cried on Yvier's back which made Yvier very surprised when hugged by Rurina suddenly.
"Miss what's wrong? why are you crying like that?" Yvier turned his head while looking at Rurina who was crying in confusion.
"Why not tell Rurina?" Rurina who was hugging Yvier asked in an annoyed tone, yet she was not angry at all.
"What didn't I say Miss? is there something that makes you upset? I'll accept any punishment if I ever piss you off." Yvier said seriously.
"It's not like that stupid." Rurina wiped her tears then looked at Yvier. "Why Brother didn't tell Rurina that you're a father's son too!" Rurina's snapping which made Yvier very surprised, where did Rurina know about it? thought Yvier out loud.
But a moment later he realized that in front of him there was not only Rurina but also Zovarein, he also understood that Zovarein had revealed his identity, so he did not mind him, he did not mind, after all, he had been hiding for a dozen thousand years, wasn't it time for him to come out?
Her hand touched Rurina's head gently and stroked her. "I'm sorry, I never said it." Yvier returned Rurina's embrace, she felt warm and comfortable, for a long time she did not feel that made her tear.
Slowly her adult-looking face began to turn into a very beautiful teenager, her black hair became white like Rurina's hair color, her black eyes became Blood red with sharp lines.
He looked at Rurina who was in his arms warmly, he had long been waiting for moments like this, but for some reason he was unable to do so.
"I'm sorry..."
