Emperor's Reckoning

*tap*tap

Lyon and the girls were rushing to the scene and as they were approaching the kitchen, they saw Luna with her hands covering her agape mouth.

"What's wrong?" asked Lyon.

Luna didn't even looked at Lyon and just point her finger at the kitchen.

The kitchen was in a disastrous state, all the utensils were all over the place. There was a pot still boiling a water with half opened lid and the chefs were passed out on the ground.

*tap

*tap

Argeon also arrived at the scene and immediately retrieved the chefs on the ground and take them to the imperial doctors all by himself.

*sfwoosh

A black shadow moved at a blinding speed from the right side of the kitchen to the left. People under the divine realm couldn't catch up its movement.

Kyoko and Ryona managed to see a glimpse of its figure. It was a small figure like a small dog.

*munch

*munch

Hearing closely, there was a sound of something or someone eating vigorously under the kitchen table.

Curious, Lyon approached the table and noticed that the sphere they bought from the auction was on top of the table cut in half like a capsule.

*gulp

Lyon nervously peeked under the table and what he expected was far from his imagination.

It was a pup, a wolf pup. It had a blue-night fur and a beautiful ocean-coloured pair of eyes. It was as big as Lyon's palm and currently, its eyes were fixated on the cooked lamb in its embrace.

Black lines cover Lyon's head then he tapped the table to get its attention.

*tap *tap

Those big pair of eyes were staring at Lyon innocently. It seemed it didn't see Lyon as a threat whatsoever. However its tail was not moving wildly like a happy pup, it just stared at him while blinking occasionally.

"What is it Lyon?" asked Karina as she joined Lyon.

"Aw, what a cute puppy," said Ryona suddenly from Lyon's right.

The wolf pup still didn't have any reaction and just stared at them innocently.

*munch

*munch

The pup continued its meal like those people were not of its business.

Ryona extended her hand trying to hold the pup but was halted by Lyon's hand. He said, "It's not wise to hold the pup while it's enjoying itself." while shaking his head.

Then Lyon got up and search for something to lure the pup out.

"hmm?" then his eyes were on a rack of lamb, (It's time to show my cooking skills!) thought Lyon.

The stove from this world operated using heaven and world's energies.

*wurrr

With a touch of his finger, the fire was ignited. He took a really basic pan and pour oil in it. While waiting for the pan to heat up, he seasoned the raw rack of lamb with a pinch of salt.

The women were astonished at his movement, they never knew Lyon of all people could cook.

*kra

*kra

Lyon began to put the rack of lamb on to the pan and seared it, which resulted in those beautiful sound. Then he put the garlic on to the pan to boost the aroma of delight.

*sniff

*sniff

Under the table, the wolf pup caught the aroma and slowly crawled out of the table to look at Lyon who was still cooking.

After several minutes, Lyon put down the fire and place the rack of lamb on top of a long white plate.

*chop

*chop

Lyon cut the rack of lamb into six stunning pieces and put each of them on seven different plates along with the knife and the spoon.

"Please," gestured Lyon acting like a waiter.

*munch

*munch

"HMM, my god this is so good!" said Karina.

"Hmmmmmmmm!" Riku already closed her eyes and savouring the taste.

"Hmm, hubby you need to make more!" said Ryona.

"Lyon, do you want to work on the imperial kitchen? Be my personal chef!" said Luna.

"Little brother <3 you know this is not enough for me right <3," said Kyoko.

Lyon only waved his hand and smiled at their responses.

There was one more piece and Lyon took it and slowly approached the wolf pup. He put the food right in front of the drolling pup.

*sniff

*sniff

*munch

*munch *munch

After the pup took the first bite its mouth was automatically rushing to finish the lamb.

"Slow down little guy, the food won't run away," chuckled Lyon.

The pup finished the lamb under a minute and licking the plate clean, it started to approach Lyon's leg and rub its head against his legs.

Lyon smiled and picked it up with one hand but it suddenly climbed over his right shoulder and resting quietly with its eyes closed.

The women were still curious and wanted to hug the cute pup but sadly it already sleeping.

"So do you have any name for it?" asked Karina.

"Oh oh how about name him Phantera?" suggested Luna.

"Hmm, but it's not from this kingdom, Tera might be good," said Ryona.

"I approve master's opinion." nodded Riku.

"Why do you name a male wolf Tera?" said Kyoko.

"How do you know it's a male?" asked Lyon.

"Well, I'm an ancient beast myself so I know by nature."

"You mean this little guy is an ancient beast?"

"Yes he is." nodded Kyoko.

"What ancient beast?"

"That is what has been bothering me, I have no recollection of an ancient beast like this one especially with a fur like that."

"Hmm..." Lyon came into a deep thinking before he clapped his hand, "I know the perfect name for this little guy."

"Grow up and be the most notorious wolf of all, the suns and moons shall shift with your howl. Gods, Immortal nor Devil shall escape your wrath. Be my stead, the fastest of all, together we will tear the heaven asunder! Come forth, Fenrir!" shouted Lyon.

*Auwwwww

Despite his closed-eyes, the wolf pup answered Lyon's call to give approval of his name.
