That is what Caesar saw through his eyes. The anger in his heart made him unable to look at anything else but dark.
How dare this man call his adorable daughter 'ugly'?
How could his cute daughter and the word 'ugly' stand in the same sentence if not for describing antonyms?
The veins in his hand started protruding as he clenched his fist tighter recalling how the weird man spoke about his daughter.
The neighbor, being silly and weird that he was, did not observe the changes in Caesar's reaction and continued speaking his heart out, "Where did you even get this weird thing from? It looks not only ugly but also creepy. One look at it and one would lose their sleep for so many nights. How were you able to sleep at night after getting this thing as a pet, huh?
"Didn't you get nightmares? If I were you, I would have killed this thing long ago, burned it and threw its ashes in the toilet so that my eyes would become cleaner. Let me give you some friendly advice, alright? Just kill this weird thing and throw it away now. It is not too late either. Or, who knows what this thing would do to you later?
"Did you see its strength? It may strangle you one day when you are asleep. One look at this poor wall is enough to say that this thing is very dangerous," he continued giving his 'advice' without even caring about how Caesar was receiving his words.
With each word he spoke, Caesar's face grew darker and his eyes turned redder.
The veins in his fist bulged and were almost exploding out of skin.
The neighbor continued speaking and Caesar couldn't bear to listen to his nonsensical words any longer. He ordered in a low voice, "Hearthe."
Though he did not say another word except for calling her name, Hearth understood her Father's orders with the help of the blood bond between them.
She flicked her tongue a couple of times and a vine hanging around a tree at the back of the neighbor started moving.
It crawled towards his back and slowly around his neck. Before he could realize what was happening, the vine strangled his neck and his legs were now floating in the air.
"Ack!!!" He was strangled and was choked as he couldn't utter a word. He stretched his left hand outwards towards Caesar, trying to grab him for help while the other hand held onto the vine that was strangling his neck.
"H.. H.. Help.. Caesar.. He.. Help" He choked a few words out while his left hand continued flailing around in the air along with both his legs.
Caesar on the other hand didn't even budge but instead chuckled coldly, "Heh, help? You want me to help you?"
Only now did the neighbor notice that Caesar's face is as dark as charcoal. His eyes widened and started regretting ever coming to this lunatic's house.
That stupid wall.. Who cares if it is beautiful or broken? Is that wall more important than his own life?
Regret and fear started gyrating in his mind, which did not fail to show on his face.
But of course it was all late.
"Ple… Plea.. Please…" He tried to plead with Caesar for his life while a couple of tears dropped out of both his eyes.
"'Ugly'? 'Creepy'? How could you call my beautiful and adorable Hearthe using such cruel words? And you still expect me to save you? Anyone who dares to talk bad about my daughter deserves death and nothing else." Caesar did not care about the pleading voice of his neighbor. All he cared about was his daughter and her feelings.
How could his cute daughter be called ugly and creepy by a weirdo like him? No way.
As long as he was alive, he would not spare any life that speaks a word against his family.
Only after hearing his words did the neighbor understand what was happening. So it was all because he spoke a couple of words against that creepy looking huge worm?
If he knew something like this would happen, he wouldn't mind stitching his lips close so that he wouldn't be able to speak any words like that ever again.
That would be better than losing his life, right?
He struggled under the tight grip of the vines and hurriedly shook his head, "I.. I a… am.. I am s.. so.. sor… sorry…" 'Please spare my life.'
He wanted to speak a thousand- no ten thousand or more if needed- words to show how sorry he was so that his life could be spared but sadly no words came out of his lips.
Speaking barely a few words of 'I am sorry' was already his limit in his current position.
His eyes continued watering and his eyeballs started bulging out of their sockets. His tongue couldn't go inside his mouth and the air outside couldn't enter his respiratory system.

Red.Bright red.That's how his eyes were at this moment.Caesar's eyes were dark, filled with bright red, like they were filled with blood. His eyes had the emotion of a mixture of grievance and hatred.An immense amount of hatred that almost all his veins were bulging out of his skin, seemingly about to burst open, trying to come out and waiting to attack someone.The bright red and wet with hot tears, his eyes were shut tightly as Caesar tried his best to calm himself down.But everything to no avail.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't forget the image that he so very badly wanted to destroy out of his mind.His bright red eyes couldn't seem to forget the image of another bright red which was this time the blood that was flowing freely like a stream of pool.In the midst of the pool of blood, lay helplessly a woman with her eyes open.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!"Caesar screamed loudly from inside his home as a bunch of birds flew in the opposite direction of his house, clearly scared of his loud scream.He raised his clenched hand and punched hard on the wall in front of him to release all his emotions.There formed a crack in the wooden wall at the point where his fist just contacted.Caesar opened his eyes to find that his skin just grazed a sharp object that came out of the crack on the wall.He narrowed his eyes and looked at it sharply.He was actually not in a mood to look at his surroundings and would have not cared about the so-called sharp object in general.But he felt like the 'sharp object' was looking at him and was calling for him. It was calling for rescue.It was asking for his help, 'Help me.'Somehow the voice of the object started overlapping with a woman's voice in his mind.The way she was dead. The way she called for help. Everything that happened before her death started relapsing in his mind as he looked
The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree Hearthe
Caesar was now standing in his backyard, with blood seeping from his hand as he looked at a small plant that reached his knees.With his bloodied hand, he softly touched the top of the plant. His every action was so soft and warm as if he was looking at his love instead of a plant.At the top of the plant laid a small, very tiny bud that was almost ready to bloom.As soon as his fingers touched the plant, the bud started blooming into a beautiful flower.As the petals started opening up, a golden light shone from the inside.Looking at the golden light, Caesar's eyes brightened as they were now filled with excitement as if he was waiting for someone's- who is (or would be) very close to his heart- arrival.The petals continued opening up at a slow pace and a pair of eyes suddenly crept out of them to look at the new world.Caesar's eyes warmed up with moisture as he looked at the new arrival. He used his left hand, which did not have any hint of blood on it, to stretch it in front of
The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree Hearthe's powers
"You are amazing, Hearthe!" Caesar bent over to pat its head and spoke softly.Hearthe understood that it was just praised by its father and its eyes shone brightly while its long tail behind started dancing excitedly at this sudden praise; though it did not understand what its father just praised it for.It did not care, for all it wanted was its father's recognition and also his happiness.Caesar's smile widened when he looked at Hearthe's dancing body."Okay! You play around here. I will go inside and rest for a while. Alright?" Caesar asked Hearthe, to which it obediently nodded its head."Good girl," Caesar once again praised her to show his appreciation towards her obedience.He went back inside and thought to rest for a while but when he looked to the side he found a few small bags filled with seeds of many types.Before, he never cared about them because the soil in his backyard had turned useless long ago and thus there was no need to use these seeds ever again.But now that

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 no

"Do you see that?"Caesar tilted his head sideways and looked at him innocently, "What do you want me to see?""..." Is he the only one who is worried about the wall? Why can't this man give a better reaction? The neighbor really did not understand the thoughts of Caesar."Just look at the wall. It is very clear that it was destroyed from your side. Don't you have anything to say?" The neighbor asked in exasperation.Caesar lazily looked at the wall, which was very clear to any naked eye that it was rammed into from this side of the wall, before he replied with a very very lazy, "Ohh.""..." The neighbor was dumbstruck by the lack of reaction from the man, "Ohh? What do you mean by ohh? Are you an idiot?"To his furious question, Caesar didn't even care to reply as he casually looked at all the trees and vines around him. He looked very proud when his eyes were on them as they reminded of the powers of Hearthe.The neighbor felt like he was punching a cotton wall, when he saw the lack

Pet?
He did not notice Caesar's expression which was darkening every time he addressed Hearthe as a 'pet'.How could a random man address his lovely and adorable daughter as a mere pet?The neighbor, however, did not mind nor care about the lack of reply as he continued looking around in search of the so-called new pet that Caesar had got.After all, there are more than eighty percent of chances that this pet was the one responsible for destroying the compound wall of their house.The wall, which had always been the best background one could get for his picturesque garden, was now rammed into, almost broken and was full of cracks making it look gruesome.To make his garden look even more beautiful, he had called the best painter in the town nearby and got him to paint with beautiful and exotic plants and flowers all over it.After paying so much money, his wall made the perfect background for his garden.Yet today once he got home after work, he found it shattered with a few pieces of bric

Though he was angry, he did not say anything back about it.He was visibly wary of Caesar during his conversation while also showing a hint of displeasure towards him.He clearly had a contradictory attitude towards Caesar that anyone would have been confused looking at him."There is an accident at my home," The neighbor said."Do I look like I care?" Caesar asked back. Why did this weirdo come to complain about some accident at his home to him?The neighbor was furious at his attitude again, "Who asked for your stupid care?"Caesar really did not want to deal with this stupid man any longer. Without saying anything, he pushed his door in order to close it on the other man's face.Before he could accomplish the task, the neighbor placed his leg in between the door and pushed it using his body making it difficult to close it.Now it was Caesar's turn to be furious as he roared out loud, "What do you want?""Why are you closing the door to my face? I have not finished talking yet.""If

Caesar couldn't bear to see the crack on the wooden wall that she had selected for him specially.He thus looked at Hearthe and asked her softly, "Hearthe, do you have any idea how to make this one better?"Once he asked he somehow felt stupid. How could Hearthe do anything about it?If it was a plant or a tree, she may help. But this was just a wooden plank that was already cut off a tree so many years ago. How could any of Hearthe's powers be helpful with this?He shook his head and softly said, "It's okay. Don't mind me. I just asked a stupid question."Hearthe had already crawled up the wall and started circling around the crack when he looked at her after speaking.As he was looking at what she was doing, he saw a few small pieces of branches- or rather vines, considering the thinness of them- sprouting out of the wood on the wall.All the vines started moving and combined themselves.
