Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
42. New Position Or..

For two days I was awake and cared for in the palace, Nikolai gave me many precious and elixir medicines, Andi, Dian, and, Abdi and Rian decide to take control of the situation of the Akasa and Candra families for a while. Nanaru left and not letting anyone know of his whereabouts here, Fobetor was also heading to the northern port to see the condition of Medusa and Kanz, he said the two men were already like his juniors.

But the problem now is...

"How do you feel?" Valas now sits on the side of my bed and lifts a syringe.

"Haha.I-I'm cured"

Shit, I hate needles..

"No, you can't lie!" Arin quickly interjected and with a worried look read, mengadur annoyed he squeezed his skirt "when kak Novan until not wake up 7 days... " I looked at him in silence, the thought of the past flashed like a puzzle piece that I still could not assemble. And one of the many pieces was Arin's presence in front of me. Andi also said the last time he saw me was when I was 12 and a figure similar to Arin took me away for 10 years.

So if it is concluded, for approximately 10 years I disappeared from this world or maybe it can be called erased from this story, I live in Astral with the person who introduced himself by the name of Hopeless. But the time lapse turned out to be different from here, when the time is in harmony I should now be 22 years old, 3 years older than Abdi, he said, but now that I'm 19, it means that I'm only 7 years older than I was supposed to be 10 years old, there's a 3-4 year gap in the time difference between this world and the Astral.

There were a lot of questions in my mind, but there was also no answer when I asked Nanaru. He even said that he had never been to the Astral, and he also did not know that Hopeless was the coordinator of the Astral dreamland.

"That's why I heard that you've met Duke Akasa?"

Arin lowered his head and then replied in a sad tone "initially.he looks creepy. The longer Arin knows him, Arin is more afraid of his firm attitude.. if there was no one that night, Arin probably wouldn't have met Nikolai's sister.."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr Adipati Akasa helped Arin escape the night before Novan's brother came. After that..." Arin stopped his sentence and shook his head. I guess, the one who should have died would still die huh, I can't be happy about his death regardless he's a bad father figure in my memory but also can't be sad because I know it's karma he received for his actions asking for the power of the moon and not the power of the heavens was in accordance with his destiny.

"At least this time he realized his mistake, even though it was too late." I murmured softly. Valas seemed to nod softly to understand my cold attitude.

Silence swept between the three of us, knocking on the door was then heard and a female servant named Anna entered the room. She was Nikolai's personal servant who had taken care of me.

"Sorry to interrupt your time but I have to hand this over immediately. Please sign immediately" he handed over a document with the golden-white coat of arms of the Candra family.

"Letter of transfer of office and power? What'sthis?" I read the contents of the document at a glance and there it was stated that Nikolai Candra as the head of the House of the Duke of Candra who now handed me all his titles, positions, responsibilities and property.

"As stated in the letter. You are now the future Duke of Candra" I looked at her with a surprised look, yet Anna smiled and looked down respectfully.

"Good boy, ah I mean Mr. Novan" forex seemed to clap and smile, so did Arin.

But I can only be silent in shock, Nikolai, that boy. Does he want me to do his job?! I'm her brother?!

"Wait a minute! That can't happen!"

A loud scream was heard, from the doorway Kaleid entered with a basket of fruit. "Mr Novan from the beginning was the first son of Duke Akasa! That means he's entitled to the title of head of our family!"

A spark of hostility appears between Anna and Kaleid. The two looked intently at each other before arguing.

"Isn't the heir to your family the master of General Abdi? Why change now?"

"You shouldn't have said that! However, Mr. Abdi and Novan are both the oldest children who are entitled to inherit the title of head of the family. It is precisely the attitude of Duke Candra who is not polite, even though he has not entered retirement but has been willing to leave office?"

The argument goes with a hot exclamation - I mean, should I be thankful Forex just kept quiet and smiled watching them fight? Because I'm sure when he took the plunge in the debate it was certain that Kaleid would be silent a thousand languages. Forex is a clever liar.

"There seems to be a misunderstanding here." From Nikolai's doorstep he stood with Abdi, he then continued his sentence "my wife is dead and there is nothing left of the Candra family except me who is their daughter-in-law, but you need to know.my late wife is actually a former fiancee of Kak Novan"

Not only me, but everyone in the room was stunned by the news. Now I just remember, what Nikolai said was true, it was because his late wife or in quotation marks his contract wife used to like me but then Duke Akasa disagreed with my engagement and him, he said, nikolai was the scapegoat.

The love of a 10-year-old is dangerous... Especially if her parents love her too much...

"In other words, if you say that the disappearance of Brother Novan for ten years does not count, then I will say the same. If at that time Brother Novan still exists maybe my wife will really be engaged to sister Novan because she sincerely loves my sister"

Don't say that with a serious face! You make this situation like a scene of a husband willing to have his wife cheat on him!

Abdi! Say something and about the boy! You're my only hope here!

Abdi seemed to think for a moment and then smiled gently "what if only brother held the two" once again silence struck the room and in my little heart I cried out in anger.

I forgot that he was stupid in the affairs of the head of the family! He is just a smart kid commanding a fleet of soldiers!!!

"I'm not sure I can be a good head of the family, nor can Nikolai. Yesterday's incident made us realize, that Brother Novan is a much more decent person than both of us"

"What if someone is against?" My solute.

"About? Haha..where possible" a mysterious smile formed on Nikolai and Valas' faces. Both of them seem to have a plan.

"Don't you just stay put?" Dian's voice then rang out from the doorway and with the same smile she and Andi looked at me with gentle eyes but the smile on their lips gave me goosebumps.

These children must have deliberately made the situation this way.

Normal POV:

The chirping of birds sounded so melodious from behind the window, A woman stood beside the window with a blank look, her hands stretched upwards and a canary perched on her fingers.

"So the Akasa and Candra families will replace their heads?" Vivian asked with a face that showed calmness and peace, behind her were five heads of each of the extended families standing and among them Samuel smiled gently at Vivian.

"Right, General Abdi himself also decided to resign from his position and officially also the Duke of Candra filed a letter of transfer of power to someone" replied Samuel. His face looked calm but a smile was still clearly visible in his eyes, all this time he continued to hide his figure and hide in the shadows according to the orders of his god, but now he would actively start carrying out his second task.

In accordance with the message of the god he served...

"Show to the other god messengers, that this is our territory of the gods of Hindu mythology!"

Back in the present, Samuel seemed to be smiling at Vivian and he walked over. "I think it's a rash choice but we don't know what the two families really think until we decide to appoint one person as their head"

Vivian raised her eyebrows and asked "They pointed at one person? you're saying there's now someone who's going to hold two titles as head of the family?" Samuel nodded and then smiled happily as a glorious commotion rang out from the mouths of the other family heads.

"Two big families in one hand? isn't that equivalent to the queen's power?"

"Is this not a problem? what do Mr Abdi and Nikolai really think?"

"Both families are in control of the security and wealth of this country, so isn't this big news?"

"True, and it seems that soon he will come here" Samuel's words sounded like a prophecy and before long all eyes were turned toward a passage where they had previously come.

A steady sound of footsteps could be heard from the palace hallway and Andi and Nikolai could be seen walking on either side of Novan. The Candra family's distinctive golden-white robe combined with the blue and black identical Akasa family on Novan's shoulders, confirms who now holds control over the two families.
