MELODY 911 With The Three Musketeers
The Order of the King of the Forest

It was pretty cold in Billiard's room. A dozen pairs of eyes saw the presence of the three Musketeers in that place on standby. They all knew that right now the three of them were staring at Lion who was at the very corner of the room. The gaze of the three was full of anger, so they were ready if only one or all three started attacking the Lion then they had to hit it.

"What's the matter, Lion?" asked Ivan who did not understand the current situation.

"LION!!" furious Aramis.

The rest of Lion's friends hold Aramis who is about to approach Lion. Some of them held him so that Aramis beat them to get out of his way.

"Ivan." said Lion staring at his friend.

Ivan gestured for all his friends who were in that place to get out of there. They all comply and come out immediately. Ivan closed the door of the room from the inside and stood behind him to see what would happen to his friend Lion.

Aramis unceremoniously directly beat up Lion several times. Lion was silent without retaliating or defending himself. He knew it was going to happen to him so he was ready to take his punches.

"We believe you, but why did you let Niko get close to Melo?!" aramis exclaimed while venting her anger at her best friend.

Lion stood holding on to the wall after Aramis's punch knocked him down. His face was already battered at this moment.

The advancing Prothos pulled the Lion and looked at him closely.

"Why did you do it?" face Prothos sharp. "You said you'd take care of it, but you let Niko pick Melo up yourself."

Prothus releases the Lion, and Aramis is about to hit him again but Prothos signals not to do so again. Prothos wanted Lion to answer his question.

"Say Lion!!" exciting Prothos.

Lion wiped the corner of his bloody lips with his long shirt sleeve. The red color immediately fouled the sleeves of the white shirt he was wearing.

"Niko asked for my help to approach her" Lion said.

"Then you agree?" ask Prothos.

"When a friend asks for my help, I have to help her" Lion replied with a glance at the floor. "It's my duty."

Prothos laughed at hearing that. He did not believe in the way Lion thought. Aramis held back his current emotions while Athos was still silently staring fixedly at Lion, trying to control his anger.

"What about you?" prothos asked again looking at Lion who was not staring at one of them.

"I've been following your requests and orders all along" Lion replied. "I just did what you told him to do."

The three of them thought and it was true that Lion had only done whatever they asked to keep Melody, their younger brother. Lion never did anything on his own initiative to Melody, except when Melody asked for her help.

"How about Melo?" face Prothos. "You know about his feelings?"

"I think that's the problem, not mine." Lion looked at the cold Prothos.

"Damn it, you're Lion!!" aramis yells the Lion again, but Prothos stops him.

"So now you want to bring Melo closer to your friend?" at last Athos let out his voice.

Lion nodded thinly.

"ANSWER ME!!" athos shouted full of emotion.

"Yes, I told you I was going to help my friend" Lion looked at Athos who was standing the farthest away from him. "But you take it easy, other than that nothing will change. I'll still be behind you."

Athos shook his head and smiled holding back his anger. He does not believe everything he hears.

"That's not the case right now, fool!!" exciting Athos. "After all this time you've made Melo dependent on you, you intend to leave her?"

"You alone made it that way, I just followed your will all along" Lion replied. "I think Niko can take over the job. In fact, he's better than me. He could have protected her. That's why I decided to help her."

"How dare you make that decision without thinking we'd be against it!!" athos exclaimed as he walked closer to the Lion and pulled the collar of the Lion shirt roughly.

"You will agree." Lion said confidently. "You don't want you to have to agree with my decision."

"What do you mean, damn it? You rule us?" Aramis pulled the Lion from the clutches of Athos and stared at the Lion very sharply.

Ivan, who was standing at the door from the beginning, noticed the conversation was silent. He also currently felt that Lion's decision was wrong. Plus Lion's words that sounded like an order to the three Musketeers. All he knew was that the three Musketeers were not like the rest of Lion's friends who always listened to Lion's will. Even so far only Lion has always listened to the wishes of the three twin brothers.

Lion pushes Aramis to let him go. After that Lion tidied up his clothes casually. While the three Musketeers stared at him continuously with anger that had arisen. Lion raised his head and looked at the three twins with a sharp look.

"I think I can make you obey me this time" Lion said coldly.

"Now you're threatening us?" tanya Prothos doesn't believe it. "Because you know our secret, now you dare threaten us?"

"If I wanted to, I could suppress you with all your little secrets." Lion smiled at them.

"It turns out my guess is right. Ars, he's your best friend, aren't you sure he won't betray?" prothos turned to Aramis.

Lion shook his head and smiled.

"I told you aside from this, nothing will change between us." Lion said. "I have no intention of betraying you, rather I cannot betray you."

"Then why are you so sure that we're going to obey what you say?" ask Athos.

Lion laughed casually.

"The three of you still owe me." cried Lion. "I will use your debt for this matter."

"What do you mean?" ask Aramis.

"For the three things I won the other day from the three of you. All I will use for a command." said Lion with his lips. "You should let Niko get close to your sister!! That's my order!!"

The three of them remembered the incident when they were vacationing in the villa, where the three of them lost a bet to Lion. They did not expect that Lion would use it for such ridiculous orders.

"I'm sure you won't pull your own words" Lion said staring at Melody's three older brothers. "And again I don't think it's a problem if you let Niko get close to her. Let your brother make the decision."

The three Musketeers were already unable to say anything more.

...***...

Lion was sitting alone in the billiard room when the three Musketeers abandoned him. Time shows at twelve o'clock. His battered face was still left to him just like that. He sat on the billiard table in the middle, with his legs hanging down and moving in opposite directions.

Right now he was still thinking with his decision regarding Niko wanting to get close to Melody. There is still something inside him right now. That thing was how he faced Melody after this.

"That girl is very troublesome." muttered Lion.

Suddenly the Lion phone beside him shook. He turned his head and saw Anna this time calling him. Lion immediately picked it up.

"Lion, this shouldn't have happened to Melo" Anna said on the other end of the phone. "Today Melo is still terrified."

"What do you mean?" asked Lion worried.

"After she came home with Niko, she kept on freaking out and crying" Anna replied. "Uncle Ron said, Melo was traumatized after what Felix did to her. Felix's actions leave a trauma in Melo so much that he becomes afraid of other men trying to get close to him. Melo also told me that Niko kept pushing her without caring about her fears."

"What?" lion asked in surprise.

Though previously he had warned Niko not to force Melody for anything. It turned out that Niko did not listen to his warning.

"What a pity Melo is right now. Even when asleep he still often woke up because of surprise even though there was no sound that surprised him. Uncle had to give him sleeping pills in order to sleep peacefully. I can't leave her either."

Lion looked furious after hearing Anna's words about Melody.
