My Scariest, Most Amazing Papa is BACK

The pulse of excitement thrummed in my chest as I stood there, barely able to contain the overwhelming feeling of joy that surged through me.

My papa was back. The Emperor was back.

Everything felt like it was falling into place, like the pieces of a puzzle finally aligning perfectly. It all clicked. Of course, Grandpa Gregor had asked if I remembered papa. He was testing me. But now... now I understood why.

I could hardly wait to run to him, to throw myself into his arms and declare my joy to the heavens.

But then...something made me stop.

My little brain went ding ding ding! I had an idea.

A brilliant idea.

A mischievous, wonderful, slightly evil idea.

Oh yes. I had to have some fun with this.

Hehehehe...
