As the night passed, a calm morning finally came to Kazdel, the homeland of the Sarkaz. Despite the harsh reality of Kazdel, somehow, a peaceful atmosphere grace its presence at the center of Kazdel, the place where the Royal family lives.

Many people who live below the Castle of their King, although not living in the best condition a Terran could live, are seen with smiles plastered on their lips as they are going about their ordinary day and some even prepared to open their businesses which range from food vendors to small stores.

However, the same cannot be said inside the Royal Castle.

The General, a certain Wendigo and several Kazdel Military Knights are currently searching high and low, sourcing every single corner of the Royal Castle for one purpose only.

"My Lord, I'm ashamed to report that we have not yet found him." A Sarkaz swordsman kneeled before the General to report his team failure.

"Keep on searching, we must find him before Her Majesty knows of his disappearance." Theresis replied, giving a command to further their search.

As the swordsman leaves to fulfill his duty, Theresis finally let out a sigh and massages his temple.

"I cannot believe searching for a child would be this difficult." He muttered.

It was a few hours ago. Theresa, the Sarkaz King along with the Doctor and Kal'tsit was scheduled to meet the house of Banshee to ensure their allegiance to the King.

With the presence of Doctor and Kal'tsit, General Theresis was left with one simple yet important duty.

"I will entrusted my Averus to you, Brother, you are the one I trusted." Theresa said with her never changing gentle smile.

Without much thought, he accepted the duty and shortly after he was left alone with the boy, in his room, with a closed door.

The door handle was pretty tall and it should be quite impossible for a four years old boy to reach the handle.

And so, with that in mind all that is left is to give the boy something that will keep him in one place.

Cookies.

"Come child, let's grab you cookies." Said the General and little Averus responded with a nod.

Theresis easily lifted the boy and sat him on his shoulder, the small arms of the boy quickly latched onto the General's horn instinctively due to how often he was put on the same position by his father.

The two then left the room and headed to the kitchen where the cookies were located.

Young Averus gaze around with amazement sparkle in his eyes as how many people bowed to the strange person lifting him.

But then, a question popped in his innocent mind.

Where are they going?

He furrowed his eyebrows while thinking of the possibility where they might be headed to but, in the end, his young mind can't comprehend what is even going on.

And so, the Prince muttered the only word he could think of.

".... M-Mommy?"

Hearing the small almost unnoticeable voice, Theresis immediately took a glance and saw two pair of blue eyes staring at him with curiosity.

"No. We are getting you cookies."

"Cookies...?" Averus asked and Theresis simply nodded as he saw that there's no need for further explanation to the boy.
