Chapter 5

After guards arrives at the scene, they only saw a peaceful river flowing down the stream. They even look around the riber if the bear still there who got snuck in the kingdom. They also asked the slam people who was working on the river and they gave same answers,

"They saw bear swimming or leisurely catching the fish. That's the report for today sir."

A bald oldman who was sitting in the chair. The bald oldman rubbed his temples, he was now getting more frustration, and angrier and angrier. They still haven't seen the naked man for the past few days and the deadline was getting near. And now he has new problems. He felt this month was cursing him.

"What did I do wrong? I'm loyal to my wife and my king. Where I did get wrong, I did what the mission told me and completed everything. And yet here." He slammed his hands on the table.

"Um sir Stanly, can I leave now." The captain who was standing in front of Marlon was also getting sweat.

"Ahh, sorry for showing my ugliness behavior. And yes, you may leave now." The signal to his hand that he may leave. The captain bowed his head, and heed to the exits.

"Ugh this frustrating after that naked man showed up. Here's a new problems. Please god help me. I guess I have to do it myself." He stood up and went to his manor.

After arriving at his manor he was greeted by his servants. His mansion has a second story building and a half size of the football stadium of his lands. He just waved his hands in the air. Indicates he heard them and may continue their works. As he was walking around the living rooms he heard hurried footsteps. He saw a golden brown wavy hair just like his hairs, dressed like a princess in a light blue color with a mix of some light red, yellow, and light green. And the height was around 4 foot tall. And that his daughter, she was now running towards him while her head was looking on the ground. 

"Sentia, stop it!"

She halted and looked at his father and she glared at him and the old man did samething. As they staring each other intently, their arround them was getting intense. The one who made first move was Sentia who was posting a cross arms defence stance and ran towards her oldman. But before she could reach her father. She jumped off and tried to tackle him with her head. Her father welcomed a tackle made by his daughter. When she got near to his father  she suddenly headbutt her father's stomachs.

"Ugh, you little monkey" he hugged his daughter then patted her head. "Where's your mother, Sentia?"

She replied with a cute voice and cute puppy eyes with her blue eyes "she's in the kitchen cooking something."

"I told her she can live it to the people incharge in the kitchen," he shook his head. 

"What's wrong with that to cook for our special meals or are you not liking my cook anymore." Said the woman who was busy gaving order to the maids. "Go prepare the food on the tables."

This is Stanley's wife, who had yellow brown hair and tied her into ponytails. She had a slender body and a nice two cup of plums. With her blue eyes staring at him. Her name is Esmeralda, she was in her early thirties. Her beauty was dazzling even without make up.

"Oh no, that's what I mean, I just want you to relax. And of course I like your food you cook, sweetie." He walked toward his wife and gave her a kiss on lips and hugs. Sentia also ran towards her family and gave hugs too.

"You look tired, hon."

They went to the dining table and the meals were already prepared for them in advance. The only thing left is someone to sit on the chairs. When they sat on chairs "all right, baby Sentia blessed our food please," her mother asked her to pray to the god and to bless the food.

"Alright mama," She reached his father's hands and her mother's hands. So they held hands and she prayed "Our Father please bless us…"

After praying for a few minutes they started serving their food and ate. They chat for problems or sometimes happiness moments. 

While they were eating, one particular bird who was flying around Stanly mansions was smelling delicious food on the air. The bird was circling around stanly mansion and saw a manor where the food was coming from. The bird dove down. And went inside the chimney, and transformed into a squirrel until the squirrel was able to fit in the chimney and touch down on the ground. The squirrel was now sniffing the air. The squirrel followed the delicious smell in the air and he arrived at the dining table where he saw his kind eating on the table. 

Because of his curiosity of the smell, the squirrel climbed on the table and headed towards where the smelly food was. The squirrel met a massive food on the table but the thing he was curious about was soup on Sentia plates. The squirrel was running towards Sentia plates and unknowing for Sentia who was grabbing bread and listening intently to her parents' conversations. As for the squirrel was already licking a soup off the side of the plates. 

When Sentia decided to drink soup from her spoon. She looked at her plate and saw a squirrel who was drinking on the side of plates also holding a piece of meat. 

"Kyaaa…" Sentia shrieked out and jumped off her chairs and ran toward his father. As for her parents suddenly responded to their daughter's shrek voice.

"What wrong Sentia?" Stanly asked.

"There's a squirrel on my plates" she hides her head on his Stanly bellies.

"Where?" Stanly heard what Sentia said and looked at the plates of Sentia. And saw a squirrel who wasn't afraid after the shrieks of his daughter. But instead running away from sudden shriek sounds from his daughter or every animal got startled would be run away right away. But the squirrel just leisurely leaked the soups on Sentia plates and ate the meat slowly while the cheeks of the squirrel were bulking. 

Stanly was getting ready to use a brute force to kill the squirrel because the squirrel got scared of her daughter. 

"Father can you please not kill that thing," she made puppy eyes on her father's eyes. She doesn't like to see a living being killed in front of her. With her innocent voice, Stanly could only oblige his daughter's wishes. 

"Okay,"

But before he could do any kind of brute force to shooing the squirrel away. His wife already performed magic after hearing her daughter wish. She cast sleeping magic on squirrels. The squirrel suddenly felt sleepy, before the squirrel fell asleep, the squirrel transformed into an owl. Because the squirrel who was used to it when he fell asleep always transforms into a squirrel. 

The family and maids are suddenly shocked by the revelation of events on how squirrels transform. As for Sentia her eyes went like almonds shapes and she suddenly yelled "I want that thing!?" 

The two couples turn their heads to their daughter. 

"Honey, this might be dangerous for you to have it." Her father tried to persuade her and warn her of the danger.

"No, I want those animals" she yelled and ran towards the owl who was stunting on tables. She grabbed the owl in her arms, and the owl made a sound of.

Hohoo hohoo…

"Wshh it's so cute" Sentia was now jumping around while hugging the owl. 

"No, Sentia… don't hug that animal instead hug me" her father shrieked and wanted to run toward her but Stanly got pulled by his wife.

"You stay here and let me handle her," Esmeralda said.

"Fine, I want that squirrel, owl or whatever away from my daughter and the mansion" the oldman was now acting like a kid and also pouted.

Esmeralda stared at him only and said "are you stuped?" Before he could reply Esmeralda turned around her head and walked towards her daughter.

She crouched down to her daughter who was stroking the feather of the owl. She carried the owl like a baby carries. As for Stanly was biting his nails and glaring intently at the owl. 

"Hey sweety, can we talk for a moment, please," Esmeralda tried to please her daughter. 

"Yes mama, you may speak," she looked at Esmeralda's eyes.

"Are you sure you want this?" she pointed at the owl.

Sentia nood her heads up and down "mhmm, I want this owl who can change form" she put a puppy eyes and bulking cheeks while her lips were onwards.

Esmeralda couldn't believe what her daughter was trying to do. And the fault of this was her doting husband on their daughter.

"If you really want this animal, we can give it to you…"

"Really? You giving it to me"

And her husband intervened and saids "hey that's not what I want to…" Before he could finish a wards. Esmeralda casted a magic of silence.

"Ahh don't mind your father, okay." Sentia nood her head and looks at her father who was now speaking without voice and also making puppy eyes on her. "As for owning the owl, first we need to examine if it is really safe to have it and if it is safe you might have it, okay sweetie." 

Esmeralda waited for her daughter, handing to her the owl and the response of her daughter.

"Okay, but I want you to make a promise to me."

"I'm listening sweety,"

"If you experiment with him or kill him, please just release him from the wild" Sentia felt disheartening because she might never see it again.

"Don't worry sweety, I would never do that kind of thing."

"Promise?"

"Promise, cross my heart and my daughter will hate me forever and her father."

"Okay"

She handed the owl to her mother. "Please mama can you let papa speak now."

"Okay" Esmeralda undo the spell on her husband.

"Oh my little angel, thank you for saving me from evil." He hugged right away his daughter and she hugged him back.

"Sorry papa to make you troubled." 

"It's okay my little angel, papa too."

After that they resume eating their meals.
