Droplets of Night Creatures

272. Father Guards

Aruna was waiting for the arrival of the Kautsar that afternoon when a strong gust of wind greeted him. Aruna immediately put on a vigilant attitude because he was aware that the wind this time was different from the usual.

" This wind... Who really came...?" muttered Aruna while observing her surroundings.

But Aruna smiled when she saw the figure of the man she longed for. The presence of the father in front of him, although in a unique way, still makes Aruna's heart happy immeasurably.

" Dad...!" call Aruna while pouring into Orion's arms.

Orion laughed welcoming the child. He hugged Aruna tightly while kissing the top of his head deeply as an expression of longing.

After a long time hugging each other, the two also broke each other's embrace. Orion smiled looking at the tears that fell on Aruna's face.

" Why are you crying ?. You should be happy to see Dad...?" orion asked as he pinched Aruna's cheek furiously.

" It's my expression when I'm happy Dad.." Aruna whined spoiled to make Orion laugh.

" alright. But don't you want to let Dad sit down, son...?" asked Orion while glancing towards the sofa where Aruna was sitting earlier.

" Oh yes I forgot. Let's sit Dad." said Aruna, pulling the father's hand.

But Aruna's steps came to a halt when she realized there was someone other than the two of them in the room.

Aruna turned her head and was surprised to see some pale-faced strangers standing up while docked to the wall. Their wary attitude and cold gaze made Aruna frown.

" Did they come with Dad...?" aruna asked without looking at Orion.

" True Son. They were members of a werewolf army deliberately appointed to escort Father." Orion said.

" The werewolf army...?" reset Aruna.

" Yes, son," Orion said with a smile.

" But why do you have to be under all control. Has something happened to you lately...?!" ask Aruna worriedly.

" It didn't happen to me the same thing. There was little misunderstanding with your Grandfather's loyal followers." Orion said quickly.

" Why can that be ? Does Grandpa Arnold know about this Well...?" ask Aruna.

" Mmm.., we should sit down so you can hear this story in a state of calm." Orion said.

Aruna nodded and pulled the father's arm to sit with him. After sitting Aruna saw the bodyguards of the father remain standing and not shifted from his place.

" Are they going to keep standing there watching Us Well. No, I'm not comfortable. Can you tell them to go where that cake is to not stand there...?" asked Aruna while whispering.

" Can't be Aruna. They were such distels long ago. Ignore them. For a long time you will get used to it as well..," Orion said as he blinked one eye.

" But if I have to talk about something personal how well. I'm embarrassed.., '" protested Aruna.

" Personal things We have become their daily meal, son. Even more personal than this, they know how." Orion said casually.

" Due it Well...?" ask Aruna not to believe it.

They are large tall, pale-skinned, blond, and dark blue-colored eyeballs. There was no smile on their faces. They just stare while standing straight. Even so they will swiftly move if something happens.

Secretly Aruna grabbed one of the small ceramic displays from the shelf next to her. Aruna quickly threw the object at one of his father's bodyguards. Orion, who knows what Aruna is doing, smiles and lets the child figure out what makes her curious.

Aruna widened her eyes when she saw the reaction of one of the father's bodyguards. The man looked back at the door. As the small ceramic statue shot towards him, the man simply turned his head and the ceramic statue stopped in mid-air and shattered into pieces.

" God, God !. I saw that. Father's bodyguards just stared at the ceramic statue without touching it but managed to destroy it within a few seconds...!" aruna said half screaming.

" You know, son. Even they can do something even more magical..," Orion said casually.

Aruna shook her head then stepped closer to her father's bodyguard. He greeted them while extending his hand.

" It's good to see you guys. What's up, my name is Aruna." said Aruna kindly.

Aruna's attitude made the four-man Orion guards stare at each other in confusion. Then they looked at Orion as if asking for permission to welcome Aruna's hand.

" Gapapa, you may know him. He's my son, my biological son," said Orion, who was taken by his four bodyguards.

Aruna smiled broadly as the four bodyguards welcomed her hand. But Aruna was a little confused because the four bodyguards of the father not shook his hand but grasped his arm near the lower elbow and slightly pressed their thumb there. They do it in turn.

Aruna seemed to be smiling to receive the greetings of different introductions. Although done without a smile and just nodding his head, but Aruna was happy.

" Father's unique greetings..," said Aruna, staring at her arm that had been held by the father's bodyguard.

" By pressing your thumb on your arm earlier that means they're marking themselves in you son. So that you will indirectly connect with them. If it is usually Om George and Aunt Matilda who come to help you, this time they will be involved when your precarious situation." Orion said with a smile.

" Oh yeah. Does that mean I also have a bodyguard like Dad...?" ask Aruna.

" Similar, but not the same. Because they will only be present when you are really desperate." Orion said.

" If George and Aunt Matilda come, they come too...?" ask Aruna again.

" No..," Orion said quickly to make Aruna nod a sign of understanding.

Then Aruna sat down next to her father again to complete her curiosity.

" So what's really going on, Dad...?" ask Aruna.

" This is how my son. Your grandfather wanted a break from his leadership. And he wants to put the reins of leadership into Dad's hands. But unfortunately you're not interested in leading this werewolf clan, son. Dad felt unable, after all, Dad just wanted to live a quiet life without having to think about the strange problems. But don't doubt Dad's loyalty because Dad will stand in the front guard if someone wants to harass your Grandpa.", Orion said firmly to make Aruna smile at hearing it.

" So on...?" ask Aruna.

" There's chaos right now. All members of our clan reject your Grandfather's wishes. Some people even misunderstand me and think I want to take your Grandpa's throne. They start doing some intrigue to hurt Dad and stop Dad. Even now I can't get into your Grandpa's palace area. Out of concern for Father's safety, your grandfather sent some bodyguards who are now with us" Orion said.

Aruna looked like she was breathing a long breath. To be honest, he did not understand the arrangement of leadership in the werewolf clan. But hearing the father's story made him realize that the werewolf clan was like a kingdom that needed a king or queen to lead them. Because if without a leader it means they have no rules that control their lunge. Moreover, their large numbers do need a leader who is reliable and loved by his people.
