The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree

Great daughter

"Hmm, I have a strong baby."

Hearthe understood that her Father praised her again and couldn't help feeling happy. It once again started dancing using its long body, making Caesar laugh at her.

"Grrr…" The father daughter duo froze in their spots as soon as they heard the growling.

Caesar was embarrassed at the sound and he lowered his head to look at his stomach that just made the sound.

Hearthe, on the other hand, felt worried for her father and crawled to take back the piece of legume root that she spat away just a minute ago.

She took the root and presented it to her father like a treasure as if saying, 'Father, eat this and be healthy'.

"..."

Caesar did not know if he should laugh or cry. He looked at the root in Hearthe's mouth, which looked as slimy as his daughter and extended his hand.

To not make his daughter feel upset, he wanted to take it, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to take it from her.

He softly spoke to Hearthe, who looked confused by why her father did not take the food she just gave him, "You like it, don't you? You can eat it. I don't eat them. I will go and eat something else, okay?"

Hearthe seemed to understand what her father was saying and nodded her head in understanding. Caesar sighed in relief when he saw that she was neither persistent nor was she upset.

His daughter is really understanding. He really felt proud to have such a great daughter.

Caesar smiled and stood straight to go back into the house to look for something to eat.

Before he could take a step, his ankle was once again surrounded. He looked down to find that Hearthe raised her head to look at him.

"Why did you stop me?" Caesar asked in a gentle voice.

Once he asked the question, Hearthe left his leg and crawled away. Under his curious eyes, she crawled towards a tree and onto it.

Once she reached a spot, she stopped and looked back at Caesar again.

Looking at the position she stopped, Caesar instantly understood what she wanted to tell him.

She was telling him to eat the fruit that was ripened perfectly.

Unlike any other normal ripe fruits, the fruits in his garden at this moment are very different. They are lustrous and juicy.

This could be the effect of Hearthe's power of fertilizing the soil to beyond the perfect level.

Caesar smiled and nodded his head at Hearthe before he walked towards the tree to pluck the fruit that she just suggested to him to eat with so much of her love.

He did not care to wash it as he was now really hungry to care about anything before he took a big bite.

The juice started oozing out of the corner of his lips and a sweet taste entered his throat in an instant.

Caesar was really surprised at the taste of the fruit as he had never tasted anything as sweet and tasty as this one.

He looked at Hearthe in surprise before he asked her, "Hearthe, is it your power that gave this taste to this fruit?"

He did not expect her to give any answer to him when he asked the question but he was surprised to see that she nodded her head while her eyes twinkled.

She was clearly happy that her Father liked the taste of the fruit she just suggested to him.

With surprise, he continued asking her, "Are you the reason all these plants and trees grew up so fast?"

Once again he got a reply in the form of another nod from her.

Caesar was once again surprised. He petted her head softly and asked, "What more talents do you have, huh?"

Hearthe blinked her glossy eyes twice before turning her head to one side. Caesar followed her line of sight and saw a small branch sprouting out of the big branch she was now lying on.

The small branch slowly continued developing until a small fruit started growing at its end.

Within a few seconds a fully ripe fruit was formed in front of Caesar's eyes.

Caesar was surprised and gave a few generous words of praise for her since he had already understood that she really liked it whenever he had praised her.

Then they both entered the house and stood in front of the wall where he had found the seed. The wall which he had punched a few hours back. The wall that now had a visible crack on it.

Caesar raised his hand and softly touched the crack as a female voice sounded in his ears, "Caesar, this wood is a very good material, alright? Not only is this wood so strong, but it also looks very good, making it the best material to build a house."

Caesar couldn't bear to see the crack on the wooden wall that she had selected for him specially.
