"Gerard! Hey General! Wake up!!"
"Ouch, my head is dizzy, hngg..."
The sound of a young man waking up to my sleep, I instantly woke up holding my slightly dizzy head. I saw in front of me stood a young man who was dashing tan handsome, dressed neatly in a white shirt and trousers, behind the young man hung a painting of a large woman, as well as a comfortable-looking room with light highlights of bright magic stones installed in every corner illuminating the room.
"Uh, Prince Robert, why are you here?" the two men stare at each other.
"Later, hurry up and pack your things. Bring everything you need, maybe you'll never come back here again. I'm waiting in my room, don't let anyone know especially my dad." Then the young man left with a cool and sad face as if something was going to happen.
Gerard reflects for a moment, then he packs his belongings as the young man commands.
In a large room with white nuances and looks very comfortable and luxurious, the sound of knocking on the door.
*Knock.. Knock.. * "Prince, it's Gerard"
"Come in."
The prince appeared to be sitting by the window looking at the dark, star-studded sky, which was moonless. The young man held his palm as if he was agitated, then he turned towards a middle-aged figure and a large tall figure and a white beard, the figure was Gerard, then he allowed him to enter.
"Sit down Gerard, there's a special mission you have to do."
"Yes, I'm always ready for you, Prince!"
"Good.."
The young man stepped out of his chair and approached Gerard who was already sitting on the guest sofa chair in the luxurious room.
"Want some tea?" The prince took an urn filled with tea and two empty clean white cups.
"Yes, Please."
*Pour* The sound of tea pouring is heard loudly in the middle of the night silence.
"How long have you served this kingdom, Gerard?" With a keen view, Prince Robert poses a question to Gerard.
"It's been over 10 years, Prince."
"But I only serve you alone, if not..." Gerard answers clearly and feeling undaunted, but not finished answering, Prince Robert immediately cuts Gerard's words.
"Enough! Forget that one!"
"You know I love Alicia, right?" while sipping her tea the Prince started a new topic.
"Of course, Prince. But isn't that Princess Alicia..."
"Well, I know. And now my father knows, too, all thanks to my fucking brothers." Gerard smiles foolishly at his master's words.
"And now they know that Alicia is pregnant and lives in my mansion near the forbidden forest."
"Oh, my god! That's going to be very difficult, Prince."
"Well I know that, and Nero said that Alicia's father's army was on its way too."
"So my job is to take princess Alicia away and protect her?"
"No Gerard."
"Your job is to save me and Alicia's son. Go take care of him like your grandson, and when the time comes, come back here. Because this is your only place you once called home."
"So the boy is born, all right, Prince! I will do my best to look after and care for her like my own granddaughter."
"Go now Gerard, before the guards lock this place down."
"I understand, Prince!"
"Before you go, take this. It's going to be enough to live luxury on the outside for 20 years." Prince Robert gave a dimensional pouch containing gold and mana stones.
"I will accept this as payment as well as a farewell." Gerard grabbed Prince Robert's hand and immediately left.
*Tears* But before letting go of his grip, the Prince suddenly burst into tears and hugged Gerard.
"Gerard... You're the only one who's always been around, when my parents were just thinking about power, you taught me life and martial arts experience and magic power. You deserve better as my parents!" Gerard couldn't say anything and just fell silent.
"..."
"Please, save my son. And permit me one last time to call you Grandpa."
Gerard fell silent, and couldn't say anything. While holding Prince Robert's hand he said. "All right, Prince, I'll let you call me grandpa."
"I have to go, it looks like the guards are on their way. Take good care of yourself Robert."
"Grandpa, Grandpa Gerard, goodbye. I hope we meet again."
"Nice to know you, Robert."
"R-Robert...!"
*Cry* Waaaaa!!! Suddenly there was a baby crying very loudly.
