Amidst the crowded street crowd, a little girl walked with her father while holding hands.
His curious eyes looked at a number of posters with sketches of the image of a white-haired witch grandfather scattered everywhere.
Unable to hold back her curiosity, the little girl asked her father innocently.
"Dad, why are there so many pictures of grandfathers everywhere? Was the grandfather a very famous artist or noble, father?" ask her with a face full of curiosity.
The little girl's father was silent for a moment, remembering the fateful incident that happened three years ago.
He pondered for a moment before finally realizing that his son was asking.
"Dad?" exclaimed the little girl, trying to attract her father's attention.
The girl's father also realized from his daydream and lovingly stroked the child's head.
"I'm sorry, baby," he said, making sure the little girl saw his face.
Then, his father replied softly, "My love, the grandfather you saw was named Zephyr, and he was a very scary witch."
The little girl was instantly stunned and her eyes twinkled.
"Well, dad! That's so amazing! That's a cool name, Dad. Grandpa must be a famous hero, right, dad? I want to be like him!"
However, the girl's father's expression turned furious all of a sudden.
He shouted so loudly that many people around heard him.
"NO! YOU CAN'T!"
The little girl was shocked and afraid to see her father angry.
She also started crying sadly.
"Dad... Why are you mad at me?" whispered in a sobbing voice.
Then, the little girl's father tried to control her emotions and spoke softly,
"I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to be mad at you. Dad was only worried because Zephyr was a dangerous figure. I don't want you to be exposed to danger or affected by it."
The little girl was still crying, but things started to subside. He tried to understand the reason for his father, although he still felt sad.
"Huhum..," the father sighed deeply.
"Dad just wanted to protect you, baby. You're everything to me, and I don't want to lose you."
the little girl's father saw how sad her son was still crying, and without a doubt he hugged the little girl tightly.
In a soft voice, his father said, "Ah, my dear, forgive me." He gently stroked his head, trying to calm the sobbing little girl.
In his confusion, he asked his father in a disjointed voice, "But, father.... hiks... Why are you angry with me? What's my fault, hicks..."
The little girl's father let go of her embrace and looked at her son's face lovingly, wiping the tears that ran down her cheeks.
"My dear, Zephyr is a criminal. He is the one who destroyed this kingdom. A lot of people lost their families because of the villain" explained the father in a sad tone.
The little girl began to subside her cries and listened to her father's explanation carefully. Then, in a sad tone, he apologized.
"I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know that Grandpa was a criminal. Yakk, I'll never be a criminal!"
His father smiled and replied, "That's how it is, my dear."
While stroking the little girl's head, he kissed her forehead lovingly. "Come, let's continue our walk, my dear."
The little girl nodded with a face that was still slightly sobbing, but at least she felt relieved after getting an explanation from her father. They continued on their journey together, hands tightly together, while looking at the scenery around.
***
Far away, there was a dazzling woman with long, unraveling red hair.
He wore a unique armor with a deep red color that showed an attractive cleavage of his chest and a slim stomach.
The dark blue short skirt he wore added to his charm. Her appearance was so charming that it could make people fall in love with her.
The woman overhears a conversation between a man and a child. The man appeared to be insulting to Zephyr, and that made him very angry.
The overflowing emotions made him want to approach the man and finish him off.
However, before the red-haired lady could get to the man, a black-haired man with firm blue eyes and a handsome face like a noble intercepted her.
His hand held the woman's shoulder, asking, "What are you doing?"
The woman furiously replied, "Let go of me, you fool! Don't you see that he's insulting someone who shouldn't be insulted?"
The man looked at the woman calmly and said, "Can you calm down a bit?"
Although initially impressed with anger and annoyance, the man's words contained wisdom that made the red-haired woman subside a little bit of her emotions. He noticed the man's calm expression and felt compelled to listen to what he wanted to say.
The woman took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. He realized that his anger would only worsen the situation. Curiously, he asked, "Well, what do you want to say?"
The man softly explained, "You won't gain anything by confronting them emotionally. Taking action based on anger will only strengthen the cycle of violence. We must find another way, a wise solution."
The woman pondered for a moment, understanding the man's words. Indeed, facing problems with anger will only cause more problems.
There is wisdom in what he says. In a calmer voice, the red-haired lady replied, "Alright, I'll try to calm myself down. What do you think we should do?"
