2023-12-14 12:04:31"I should be hallucinating."
Otherwise, how could he accept that it was reality?
How could a tree that was supposed to take a few years to grow be grown in a span of a couple of hours?
"Or did I sleep for a few years?" He couldn't help but ask himself.
He looked around and after getting a few clues about everything, he came to the conclusion that a few years did not pass like he had thought. It was really just a couple of hours and nothing more that he took to finish his nap.
He then came back to his senses. He was not supposed to look at the plants and trees that grew in his backyard at this moment.
Everything should follow a certain list of priorities.
And now, his priority should be to look at Hearthe and check if she was alright or not.
Did she eat anything or not?
He couldn't help but worry when he thought of his cute and adorable baby.
He then walked into his newly made farm and searched for Hearthe all over the ground. Since there are many plants and trees, it became a real difficulty to search for Hearthe, who liked playing underground.
He called out for her, strongly hoping for an answer back, "Hearthe!!"
He did not hear a reply and started getting anxious at once.
He raised his voice higher and shouted with a clear hint of worry, "Hearthe!! Where are you? Can you hear me? Hearthe?"
As his words progressed further, the worry in his voice also increased.
He started sweating all over with no reply and before he could shout once more, he heard the sounds of shuffling around.
He turned his head at the source of sound to find a few bushes shuffling.
Caesar narrowed his eyes and took a step forward to look at who was behind the bushes and before he could take another step, he found a creature crawling at the speed of lightning and attacked his ankle.
The action of turning into his anklet made Caesar's tightened heart loosen up after a long time.
Caesar bent over and started caressing Hearthe's slimy body.
He did not know from where but he saw a drop of water fall on Hearthe's body. He blinked a couple of times to find another few drops falling on her body.
Only then did he realize that the water were actually his tears which fell as soon as he touched his baby's body.
After losing 'her', he did not dare to think about losing someone else again. Not his cute and adorable baby, all the more.
Once he lost her, he was scared to get close to anyone else. It was only today that he felt close to a 'beautiful' tree followed by the baby that the tree gave him with love.
If he were to lose either one of them, he would no longer remain sane like he was now. He would waste no time in destroying the entire world before he could take a calm breath.
Once he stabilized his emotions, Caesar looked at Hearthe again before softly asking, "Did you eat anything? Or do you want me to feed you something?"
Hearthe blinked her big, round, black eyes a couple of times before turning her head sideways.
Though Caesar did not understand the meaning behind her actions, he let her do whatever she wanted and calmly followed her.
Hearthe crawled a couple of feet before she drilled her head into the ground and took it back again.
Caesar saw that she now had a root of legumes in her mouth. Under his eyes, Hearthe started gnawing on the roots and that is when Caesar understood the meaning behind her actions.
She meant that she likes eating the roots of those legumes and she had already eaten them without waiting for him.
He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he understood that she did not starve herself to death because of his irresponsible behavior.
Feeling mentally exhausted, Caesar lowered his waist and half sat on the ground looking dejected.
"How could I be so selfish that I used you to grow plants but did not even care to feed you?" He felt emotional as he asked out loud.
Hearthe felt his Father's negative emotions and couldn't look on as he was blaming himself for her sake.
She spat the legume root out of her mouth before crawling to Caesar and narrowed her eyes, giving him the message, 'Don't worry Father. I can eat and take care of myself. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I will never worry you again, Father.'
Though there were no words spoken vocally out loud, Caesar had seen the determination in her eyes and was astonished.
He chuckled before patting her head while nodding, "Hmm, I have a strong baby."

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. It looked like they were gracefully dancing to a melodic music as they entangled amongst themsel
The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree Neighbor
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?

"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

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?

Caesar did not budge with his words of pleas and asked back.The neighbor is not in a position to think of anything at this moment. His hearing was already lost and was on the verge of losing consciousness.Looking at his struggle, Caesar's heart felt a sense of satisfaction.How dare this man speak such ill words about his lovely daughter? This is the punishment for anyone who spoke a word against his daughter.The hate he had towards the man continued increasing as he recalled all the words the man just spoke.'Kill Hearthe? Burn her? Throw her ashes in the toilet?'Every word came back to his mind and his blood continued to boil with anger.He couldn't hold himself and he forwarded his hand to hold his neighbor's neck himself.The vines naturally gave way for Caesar's hand over his neck and Caesar's hand squeezed

Though he understood all this long ago, he did not share this with anyone else.It was only now that he spilled a few words out in his anger.As soon as Caesar heard his words, his eyes instantly darkened.He did not delay a second before he lunged forward and grabbed the old police officer's collar and shouted, "What do you mean?"His eyes were ferocious as they turned red. He resembled a monster in the eyes of the police officer. He did not know how to speak as if he suddenly went dumb and his throat felt constricted even though Caesar did not hold his throat directly.Caesar's face turned even darker and his grip became stronger as he growled, "Tell me. What do you mean by what you just said?"How could he not find Jasmine's murderers?No way. He would not accept this.

"...""So it is my fault that everyone came to look at me when I was sleeping?" Caesar asked back.He then turned his head to look at the people who gathered to look at him.It was like he was accusing them of surrounding him and making the police question him despite his innocence."..." Everyone was speechless. So now, it became their fault for gathering around their King and waiting for his instructions?If he thought so earlier, then couldn't he have dispersed them already?Though everyone thought so in their hearts, there is no way they would speak out in front of their King. No way they would commit such an insolence.Thus without a word, everyone bowed in the form of apology towards Caesar.This action of theirs shocked the police officers so greatly that they looked like their eyeballs would fall out of their sockets.'What is going on here? Why are all these old people bowing to this kid?'Caesar smirked

If they said anything, he would easily turn it into something that could make them suffer further.If they did not say anything, that would only help him as he would finish his mission faster and while doing so he would also enjoy watching the suffering of everyone around.Everyone turned silent but the leader did not stop the topic there.He looked at jasmine and did something that no one around could look at nor could they forget.But till date, it was something they all so badly wished to forget and yet couldn't do so.That is the reason, just one word from Caesar about the incident was enough to make everyone recall everything that happened that day and made all their faces ugly."My Lord.."

There were even a couple of men that fell to the ground, holding their stomachs, trying to hold their laughter but in vain.Jasmine tried to bring her voice back as she spoke again while holding onto Grandpa Luke's hand tighter, "Grandpa Luke, h.. Hel.. help me.. Ple.. Please."Looking at the young lady in such a sorry state, Grandpa Luke's eyes filled with moisture in an instant.

I am sorry old man, but we have orders to deal with her as soon as possible. And you. Well, if you want to join her then you can talk all you want. If not, I want you all to just shut up and watch what was going on. Do you all understand?"Everyone frowned at his words.

How could anyone sleep peacefully under such loud noises?That is what made the police officer more angry when he looked at Caesar's sleeping face.He felt that he was not taken seriously by doing this.Being a police officer, he was used to everyone's fear when facing him.

Suffering of his subjects?
Caesar couldn't help sigh and shake his head helplessly.After thinking for a few seconds, Caesar decided to not follow behind the kid anymore.Because he had already understood the path that the kid would take in his little 'journey'.After all, Caesar was born and raised in this very town and he knows every nook and corner of the town since these were the very streets where he had played plenty since his childhood.He could easily understand which turn would lead to which place and which path would lead to which destination here.In a way, he is really suitable to rule this town with all the knowledge he had about the place.Just one look at the direction Mokero left and Caesar had understood where he would go next.Instead of running around searching for the way the kid left, if he had already calmly thought and processed everything using his mind, he would have long understood what was happening.It was just that he was wor

But there was no warmth in them any longer. They showed ridicule to the people who continued bowing their torsos in front of him.'My time has finally come.'He wanted to show some of his powers immediately over them but his sanity returned in time to remind him of his priorities.His first and foremost priority should be to find his son, who left home in anger.But then his gaze fell over the people in front of him once again.They were all still bowing to him.This gave him a hint.
