Arsen smiled looking at the peaceful face of Arcila who was asleep in her arms. It has been almost four days for the beautiful girl dimpled cheeks are restless and difficult to close her eyes, lucky Arsen can always calm her.
Arsen kissed Arcila's forehead slowly which looked peaceful when sleeping. Justifying the blanket to cover the chest limit of his favorite girl before turning off the room lights and replacing them with a sleeping lamp.
Closing the door slowly so as not to disturb the girl who was in the dream.
A little surprised when he went into his own room. It's Gara there. The father of Arcila has been counted three times by now coming to Arsen.
Every time the handsome man with the dark eyes must be related to Arcila. The closer the 20 years promised by Gara, the more strange things will be felt even out of control. What Arcila felt was certainly not ordinary considering that half of her could somehow be called what.
"Sir." Arsen lowered his head slightly.
Gara was still flinching his back to Arsen. The man remained silent for a long time.
"Two months, you'll have to take extra care of her from now on. I know it's gonna be a little hard, but I'm sure you're capable of it." Because the words slowly but very clearly heard in Arsen's ear that is always focused on anything related to Arcila.
"Would something bad happen? it's been four days now, Miss is always restless and has trouble sleeping. Sometimes he cries and says his heart is always restless for no reason."
"What's wrong, it's because his brother is raging there. They will be related to each other in many ways even though they are far apart. Sister Sanca is sick, maybe that's what makes her nervous for no reason."
"That's all I want to say. Take good care of my daughter!! If it's time I'll come back to see you. One more thing, don't worry about your sister. He's fine." Gara turned around and smiled faintly but more like a grin before disappearing like a shadow.
Arsen still had a chance to see the shadow of a large red black snake before fading and disappearing to separate himself.
Arsen sat himself on the bed. He took the notebook that his father had given him first. There, Andres the father told me many things. Not only about her but also about Arcila and the real Gerald family.
What is still a big question in his mind now is the father of the girl he loves. In the book the father simply says that Mr. Gara is the real owner of the mansion that houses the Gerald family.
Andres also said if Gara is not a random person even arguably, he has abilities that exceed humans in general. Between believing and not, but after meeting several times with the man and some awkwardness that he saw Arsen finally can understand what his father meant.
"I don't know how Cila would react knowing this. I can't imagine everything, I'm afraid he'll get hurt later."
He muttered while staring at the book containing the handwriting of the father.

Yeah, just a little. Because in the end his curiosity can pay off even though he himself almost lost his life if the man called his majesty by the people in the palace did not appear.
The number of people around him does not guarantee they will dare to help him. Because they will only be silent when the prince's anger can no longer be dammed.
Derrick went on a rampage shortly after hearing the story of Leo's mother's death. The young man was in disbelief because some time before the discovery of Leo's body that fell into the pool by his bodyguard. Derrick was still there, staring at the mother who was arranging flowers with a small humming coming out of her lips. The mother looks beautiful today, although the woman is indeed beautiful but that day looks different for Derrick who can only look at his mother's face once a year.
Leo was surprised to see Derrick's true form. A large snake with a slightly blackish color with a tinge of green and yellow on its body. Blazing eyes with an outstretched tongue make Leo's chest feel tight when the winding on his neck feels stronger.
"Where do I really live? am I really dead? and now it's just my spirit that can't go back?"
Leo covered his face with both hands. He was very confused about what he was going through. Ever since waking up in a slightly stuffy room at that time. There were so many things and strange things that he felt.
Everyone around him, including the servants and guards, had their own mark. The same mark as the one on Derrick's forehead. But the difference is, Derrick's got more sparkling and brighter.
"Am I in the snake demon palace? but is it possible that it exists? not all this time it was only in fairy tales. There's no way I'm gonna experience any of this. But it's real and it's weird that I don't feel afraid to be here." The young man muttered.
Without him knowing, if what he had done since then did not escape the observation of Gara who smiled thinly while staring at the young man.
Never thought by Gara, if the two children of Andres who will be a friend for his two children.
"Bring him into my room!!" He told a guard who followed him behind. After that Gara passed away to go to his son's room.
Derrick still looks weak, he who is not yet able to control himself is actually not allowed to show his form. Because if it happens before he can, then Derrick can endanger himself and the people around him. That was the real reason why Gara chose to separate the son from his mother and sister.
Although saddened by the passing of his wife. But Gara was more prepared because everything he had known as a way of liberation for his two children.
Because it disappeared for many years just to be able to make the lives of his two children better, especially Arcila who gave the name Sanca.
The hermitage that he committed to atone for having broken a taboo by marrying a man. At once to fuse the power that is in Arcila so that his daughter can live a normal life like humans in general.
Because he let out a long sigh, he bought it with a pity the head of the son who was still closed. His face was reminiscent of Sena, the woman he loved so much. There was pain in his heart when he realized that his wife was gone. But he knew it would not be easy, his two children would definitely demand a reply. And that is what must be avoided at least until the age of both has passed 20 years later.
"You know, honey, they look a lot like you. Not just the face but the body gestures and the others as well. It's just, they inherited my stubbornness." Gara smiled, peeking at the son's forehead before passing out of the room.
