Chanted by millions, the words rumbled the Jade Capital! Only when they reached the imperial palace's gate did they stop. Not because of reason, but due to the presence of a nearly two meters tall man whose empyrean looks all across the Chtonian Realm knew by heart.

　　Before that man, the dandy horde held its breath, with only Elia still remaining as carefree as ever. With a wave of his hand, the crowd dispersed with the fans returning whence they came. The man, dressed in golden imperial robes, descended from the sky to drop before the gates and cast his cold, icy hues at Elia.

　　Naturally, the man was Konrad. But even before his cold stare, Elia remained undaunted. With a flick of his wrist, he folded his fan, set it aside, high-fived the guards and spun to face his father with stretched out arms!

　　"MY MAN!"

　　Elia exclaimed and leaped toward Konrad! But with those two words, Konrad's self-control shattered, and his foot met Elia's face!

　　*BAM*

　　At that time, Daphne who'd naturally heard of her son's return arrived at the gates, and was startled to see him kissing Konrad's foot before flying backward and shooting across the Jade Capital!

　　"AAAAAAAAARGH!"

　　"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

　　Son and mother roared in tandem, while the merciless Konrad trampled his youngest toward the Capital's gates! Alarmed, Daphne flew after him, and while sobbing from outrage, exclaimed:

　　"My son!"

　　Meanwhile, Konrad crossed his arms beneath his back, and swept the palace guards with a virulent glower.

　　"If he takes a step into the palace, either behead him or I'll behead your nine generations!"

　　Konrad proclaimed, and following a sweep of his sleeves, vanished in black flames. Little did the guards know that back within his chambers, his body had never left. Still, it mattered not, and as they already knew the code, they realized his words meant "wait for nightfall and make him come in through the secret entrance." Therefore, they replied with firm nods and exchanged complicit glances.

　　But this was only the beginning of the tidal waves. With the spread of the Dandy Prince's return, beams of light left the imperial palace and various corners of the city to greet him!
