I locked the door of my room and looked back, just to be greeted by Daulla.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"This is...just your night dress"

She was wearing her white night dress.

"I said I will change, so I changed"

"This is cheating"

"They are new ones"

"That is more cheating"

She fixed my hair and said, "Congratulations on your engagement"

"I haven't gotten engaged yet"

"Even though you are married to her"

"Funny" 

"I am just happy to know that the kids I raised will always be together"

"You will be together too, always"

She hugged me and said, "You should go now"

"Take care"

"Don't worry about me. I now have to decorate your room. Then I will just patrol the outer palace then eat, and then patrol the inner palace and sleep"

"You don't want to meet Elena?"

"I will meet her in the morning"

"Got it"

"Go now"

Half of the maids are sent to the Royal garden, so the hallways look so lonely. 

"I wonder if Elena is already there or not"

[She said she would come with Selena, so there is no need to worry]

I was walking in the hallway, passing by the closed rooms.

"It's grandpa's room"

Should I greet him and inform him I am going?

Well he already knows but still...let's just check up on him.

Knock~

I knocked on the door.

Knock~

I knocked on the door again.

"Grandpa, it's me!"

No answer.

I opened the door--

"Grandpa!"

Grandpa was lying on the floor.

"Grandpa! Are you okay?"

I quickly hurried over to him and picked him up.

"Are you okay, Grandpa?"

"Ah. Yeah. I was trying to get to the chair, but fell down and passed out"

"You should have called someone"

"I was feeling good, so I thought I would be able to, but I suddenly felt dizzy and..."

"Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?!"

"Calm down. Stop acting like An and Daulla"

"...."

"Can you take me to the chair?"

I took him to the chair.

He leaned back and said, "What. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the party? Or has it already ended?"

"It's just started now"

"So what are you doing here?"

"I was about to go there, and on a whim I decided to check up on you. And found you like this"

"Ah. Thanks for worrying about this old man"

"Are you really okay?"

"Yeah. I am fine. I, uh, Layla came into my dream. She looked exactly how I saw her for the first time"

"...."

"But she was far away. I couldn't reach her. I couldn't...touch her"

"You should rest"

"I just woke up"

"Rest for a while"

"Shh! Don't order me around"

"...."

"Ah. I want to show you something"

"Huh?"

"Do you see that staff beside the shelf?"

"I do"

"Bring it here"

The staff was about the same height as mine. It was a white staff, made of hardest yet smoothest marble. And a cyan color design which looked like a dragon is circling around it and trying to go up.

It looked really amazing.

There are only a few artificial things that can amaze me. And this staff has amazed me ever since I saw it for the first time. 

"Do you remember this staff?" he asked, touching the staff.

"I do. You always used to carry it around"

"Yeah. Haha. Brings back memories"

"What do you use it for?"

"Nothing. I just...liked it" He touched it again and said, "When I was a kid, I read it somewhere. About a king who had a white staff and a blue dragon rising on. I was fascinated just by reading it. So I had this made for me"

"..."

"I am sure it's not exactly like I imagined, but I really love this"

"It's your favorite?"

"Favorite? Hmm, you can say that"

"I see"

He looks happy.

"You can have this"

"Huh?"

"This staff, I am giving it to you"

"Why? Isn't it your favorite?"

"It is. And that is why I am giving it to you. Take good care of it"

"I will!"

"I want you to, I want you to make this an heirloom. Give it to your kids, and tell them to give it to theirs"

"I will!"

"I, I really love this staff. Please take good care of it. It's now one of the Edens' heirloom"

"I will!"

"Haha. Nice. You should go now"

"Yeah"

I put the staff back from where I took it from.

"Congratulations on your engagement"

"Tha..nks"

Take good care Lier"

"I will!"

"She was very happy when I said I would engage her with you"

"It was some months ago, right?"

"Around six months"

Soon after I started going out with Elena"

"She really loves you, you know?"

"Yeah"

"Layla used say, if Lier doesn't end up with you, then I will do some tricks and for you to marry her" 

"You both favored her"

"Haha. Yeah. Sh was the female. Having girls as my daughters, and granddaughter, I am a very lucky person"

"...."

"I wonder who Lirole gives birth to. I hope it's a girl"

"Who knows" 

"You should have been a girl too"

"...."

I somehow knew he would say this.

"But then who would have been the King? It would still be you. Since you are the oldest"

"I am the same age as Lier"

"That is..."Sigh~"I don't know what will happen if..."

"Grandpa?"

"It's nothing. Go now. You are getting late. Shoo. Shoo!" 

"Yeah, yeah"

When I opened the door, I remembered what he had asked me in the morning.

'What type of king do you want to be?'

I didn't know the answer when he asked me. But now, I do.

"Grandpa!"

"What?"

"You asked me in the morning about what type of king I want to be"

"Yeah"

"I want to rule this country. No, I want to rule over the world"

That's the best way to protect my loved ones.

If I rule the entire world, I can end anyone I want. NO one would dare to go against me.

He looked back and said, "You are a king now"
