The warmth of the sun, the melodious chirping of the birds that had been on the move, the rays of the sun that pierced through a blemish from the great curtains, made three nobles in the residence of Cloxzar, who was, which had a shield emblem and on it was a trident and a sword carved across it, awakened from its sound.
After staying overnight with Hellenia and Selen, Zeeta immediately returned to Ashley's residence by teleporting her. Of course he did that after doing breakfast, bathing, and berias ala Hellen. Although it is said to be Hellen-style, because basically Zeeta is cute from birth, the clothes are right, Hellen can only style Zeeta's hair so it is more suitable for him. His short violet hair is dressed in a cute rabbit-shaped hairpin that splits the front bangs on the left end.
When Zeeta reached the front yard of Ashley's residence, he could see two black sun-emblemished limousines on two of its doors. An uneasy feeling began to flare up in Zeeta's heart. He felt that he would encounter a problem again, right after he went inside.
"Teacher, I'm home" said Zeeta, after preparing.
What Zeeta sees once entering is the presence of Arthur, Ashley, and five men who. The five men consisted of an elderly man and woman, a man who appeared to be in love with Arthur, and two young children - a boy and a girl.
The elderly man and woman have lost color in her hair—or rather have grayed. The man has short hair that has gray hair that has filled the head and red eyes, while the woman who has long hair pink, already has gray hair in some areas of her hair. Like around the ears and over the head. It has brownish yellow eyes.
The man, Arthur, has short pink hair, high body posture, and brownish yellow eyes. He and the two elderly men were dressed in the same outer garment, a white coat with a high neck, and long sleeves.
The two children were a pair of twins. They have bright blonde hair. The man had long straight hair, but because of its length, his bangs closed his left eye. Just like the man, the woman's eyes were also closed because of her hair, only that it COMPLETELY covered her eyesight. They are seen holding hands despite sitting on a soft sofa.
"Eh... Daddy's? Isn't Dad in jail...?" ask Zeeta, who saw Arthur's presence.
Hearing Zeeta's words, the man, Arthur, suddenly shouted. "This man is not your father!" Zeeta is shocked to death.
"A-anu... A-do I know you...?" ask Zeeta. I don't know why he's soaking in sweat now.
"What...? Hey, you didn't even tell Princess who her real father was, huh?!" The man broke the table.
"No" replied Arthur briefly.
"How dare—"
"Queen Alicia ordered to keep her identity a secret until she was eight," Arthur cut, "how can I explain who her real father was if Zeeta was under Rowing's threat? That precious time I better use to raise her."
"Khh.... Goddamnit! Why doesn't Alicia's sister trust us with Zeeta?!" the man clutched his hand.
"O-anu...?" Zeeta was waiting for an answer to her question.
The old man and woman stared at each other, then nodded at each other.
"Lowen, the Princess' mentality could not be suppressed any further than this. Let us handle it" said the Old Lady.
"Alright, Mom. Please, yes," replied Lowen. Then the elderly man and woman went closer to Zeeta.
"Good morning, Princess," said the Woman, followed by the Man.
"W-w-w. uhm. Good morning." Good morning." Zeeta lifted her skirt a little as a sign of respect.
"Can you come with us?" ask The Man.
Zeeta looked towards Ashley, then saw her nod.
"Huupp...." Zeeta took a deep breath. "Hey...." Then humiliate. "All right!" then Zeeta followed the two seniors to the page.
......................
After the two elderly were alone with Zeeta, they invited her to sit on the grass. The three of them sat together. Now, Zeeta is flanked by the two elderly. The elderly man on the right, and the Woman on the left.
The wind blows softly, the maple foliage is red on the outside and bright yellow on the inside, following the swing of the wind wherever it takes it. They smiled while enjoying this serene sight.
"Mr. Princess .. no, Zeeta..," said the Lady, "we believe that if you are not used to being a Princess yet, we ask you to sit back like this. Do you mind?"
Zeeta smile. "No.. not at all," he replied, "then... can I know, who are you?"
"My name is Agatha Levant, and the old man next to you is Karim Levant. He's my husband." The Old Lady smiled—replying Zeeta's sweet smile.
"Then...what do you need with me?"
"Gghbh.... Agatha, I can't wait!" Karim suddenly shouted.
"He-hey...! You promised to stay calm!" Agatha was on standby—ia like she knew what was going to happen.
"No! Can't! He is my grandson! I couldn't even see her as a baby, even to carry her!
"Zeeta... Is that your name? Come here, I'm your grandfather. Hugged me!" With his fingers bent like swaying tentacles, Karim approached Zeeta.
"Hnggh!!?" The aura of death from Agatha appeared. "If you have promised, keep your word, you useless grandfather!"
'POW!!'
Agatha punched Karim in the chest until he bounced and caused dust while rolling.
"At the same time, your behavior actually scared Zeeta! What if his first impression falls when he sees you like that?!"
While Zeeta who was looking at everything in silence, could only laugh a little and drop her sweat while thinking, "what really happened? And he is my grandfather...? Means...."
"Em... what was my real father... His name is Hazell Levant?" ask Zeeta.
Karim stood up. Now it is in serious mode. "Where do you know her name, son?" ask her while walking closer to Zeeta and Agatha.
"Eh...? Though the fist of Nek Agatha was very strong until it sounded! Why isn't there a scar on his chest, when he's old?" inner Zeeta. "Ah, uhm.I just got home from the residence of Miss Hellenia, she told me a lot about her past."
"Oh, Cloxzar, huh.... So, what's on your mind after knowing Hazell is your real father?" asked Karim again, after he sat down next to Zeeta.
"Even though Grandpa asked, I don't know what to answer either.... The last eight years, I've been living with my foster father." Zeeta gazed back at the maple foliage in front of her.
"Then, what do you think after knowing we are your Grandpa and Grandma?"
"Hmmm.... I can't say that I'm surprised, but it's still hard to believe. I thought I'd be alone to meet mom. Hehe, is my answer strange?"
Hearing Zeeta's reply, Karim and Agatha were shocked.
"Son, what did you say? You want to meet Alicia?" ask Agatha, trying to make sure.
"L-yes...."
"What do you mean... Alicia's alive?"
"I-I don't know. But, where and whenever when I'm sad and scared, these earrings kind of calm me down. I don't know how, but somehow I know you want to meet me and I'm the same...."
"Then, then...." Karim held his chin. "Zeeta, how did you feel when you heard your father's name, and when you found out that we were your Grandpa and Grandma, was that the same thing as those earrings?"
"I-I'm sorry. I don't feel it...." Zeeta looks moody.
"Oh, yeah...." Karim looked at the sky.
"But...."
Agatha and Karim looked towards Zeeta.
"Right now, these earrings are like whispering. Besides...."
"Other than that?" Agatha and Karim asked simultaneously.
"Said the Fairy Queen and the other major nobles, I am loved by nature. I don't know if it's related or not, but without having to be sure of these earrings, I can tell you guys are really my Grandpa and Grandma!" Zeeta smile.
At this moment, the hearts of the two elderly felt warm. The warmth from the sincere smile of an eight-year-old, their granddaughter, Zeeta Aurora. Thus, the motherly desire of Agathapun appeared. He pulled Zeeta's head into his arms, then gently stroked her.
From Zeeta's sight, he saw the tear point of Agatha as she stroked her head.
Looking at Zeeta being petrified by Agatha, Karim said, "Really, when the giant root came suddenly, we were very panicked. Hazell and Alicia who were pregnant with you were in the palace. We have done many things, even our greatest magic does not apply to that root.
"If we know that their son survived, it's been a great relief for us." Karim smiles. It also shows the point of tears.

A few moments later....
"Grandfather, Grandpa Agaaa!" the twins run excitedly to their grandparents, but are stopped after seeing Zeeta.
"W-what is he.. our cousin's sister whom Papa told you about?" ask the girl, named Ella.
"Yes," Agatha and Karim answered while nodding.
"Currently, don't trust him, Ella! Bi-maybe he just wants to take Kek Rim and Nek Aga from us!" knock Edward, the man.
"Edwards.... Uhm! You're right, we should kick him out of Nek Aga's arms!" reply Ella.
"Let's do that!" Edward gave a warning.
"okay!"
Yet....
"Hey, Zee!" shouts Ashley from the door. He's pushing his waist.
"D-yes, Teacher?!" Zeeta immediately got up and stood up straight.
"Hmm?" the twins stared at each other.
"Practice time, yesterday you were off from your evening practice!" Ashley went back inside.
"eeeh? Didn't Master allow meuu? Why should I be told?" in a very lazy and very forced tone, he followed Ashley. "Again, I still want to ask Dad something!"
"Haaa?! You dare to challenge me?!" the aura of death came threatening Zeeta.
"Alright! I'll be serious!" Zeeta continues to fulfill her obligations despite feeling forced.
Arthur, who saw them walking past him, could only wave his hand and say, "Excite, son! I'll be waiting for you here!"
"Don't get too close to Zeeta!" Lowen suddenly had the emotion of seeing Arthur like that.
"Cih.. when just want to show off, even already gone...." Edward looked disappointed.
"Uhm. I'm excited too...." Same with her twin, Ella also looked disappointed.
"Hooo...? After you pretended not to like your cousin, you were disappointed to see her leave?" Karim came cringing his head in the middle of their shoulders.
"We-we're not disappointed!" Edward and Ella answered simultaneously.
"Do I also have to tell Zeeta that you are looking forward to meeting the Princess...?" Karim continued his mess.
The twins are blushing. "Don't!"
"How, yeah...? Do I have to say yes...?" Karim enjoyed his mischievous behavior.
"Hmmmphhh!" Edward and Ella puffed her cheeks.
"Ah... My granddaughter is so cute when she's upset..," Karim's mind.
"I hate Grandpa!" Edward and Ella spoke at the same time, then headed towards Agatha.
As if struck by lightning, ships, concrete, and hit by a bull, Karim was shocked.
"Cu... HATING ME?" karim gumam.
"This is the result if it is too nosy! Eat the fruits of your own deeds!" Agatha then carried her twin granddaughter.
"Well, let's see what your sister's training looks like, huh?" ask Agatha while walking.
"Uhm!" Edward and Ella answered at the same time.
......................
Zeeta and Ashley are in a green room separate from Ashley's residence, but still inside. Lowen, was looking at them from the outside separated by glass doors and windows.
"You must have heard the story about Erigona, right?" ask Ashley.
"Uh." Zeeta nodded with a serious face.
"Training this time will make you more agile and agile when at any time dealing with creatures like him." Ashley pops up some bottles of magic granules.
"So... I do have to face creatures like them, huh...?" ask Zeeta.
"Yes, but it won't be handled soon. Whenever there is, it is we who are obliged to overcome it."
"I understand."
"alright. Your opponent this time is not me, but them." Ashley raised two bottles of grained magic.
"Eh?" Zeeta tilted her eyebrows.
"They are my magical creatures. Even though I call them magic creatures, they are just puppets that move as I wish when making it— immobilize the opponent's legs, even if it means giving the opponent a fatal wound."
"DOLL?!" sweat appears on Zeeta's temple.
"Think and act quickly, otherwise your legs will be hurt and you will lose heavily!"
Ashley threw the contents of the two bottles grained with magic.
"EEEHH?! THAT'S RIGHT!"
Those magic details slowly materialized. One is a teddy bear bearing Teddy's name on his stomach and the other is an adult stag whose eyes glow blue.
From the outside, Lowen held his chin. "Hm. I've guessed from the Grand Duchess, her training menu is indeed great," she murmured, "but.. is Zeeta able to fight it?"
"Zey! Whatever the reason, I want you to not use magic in large numbers!" shouted Ashley who retreated to the end of the room while crossing her arms.
In a mess, Zeeta answered Ashley. "But why?! How can I focus on imagining something while dodging?! They are also very fast!"
Teddy and the stag have attacked Zeeta. Just like Ashley said, they were indeed eyeing Zeeta's feet. Teddy from his oval-shaped fist, while the deer from his bright eyes. How did Zeeta handle them?
