White Tiger

While the trio were having a drink on Rakesh Island, the brooding King of Germa, Vinsmoke Judge had returned alone to his castle after 3 days. 

No matter how exaggerated his welcome was, Judge couldn't seem to escape his thought until he finally stop at his throne room front. 

When he was about to enter the throne room after the guards openned the door, there was hurried footsteps coming over, taking over Judge's attention. 

"Pant*, Pant*..." An old looking man wearing buttler uniform stopped just a few steps away from Judge. 

Under Guards scrutiny gaze, the old buttler tried to calm himself down and adjusting his clothes. 

"You, your majesty. Congratulations!" Bowed the old buttler. 

Judge didn't move nor he spoke, he just stood there with questioning expression, 

"....Her Majesty the Queen had given birth to your heir, a healthy babygirl. Congratulations your majesty!" Continued the buttler, his word prompting the guards to kneel and offer their own congratulations.

"Congratulations your majesty!" 

"Congratulations!" 

Contrary to anyone expectation from receiving news regarding their newborn, Judge's face turned even more ugly instead. 

"Girl you said?" Asked Judge. 

"It is indeed a healthy baby girl, your majesty." 

Judge ceased his act toward the throne room and went to another castle wing with fast stride, the old buttler felt something wasn't quite right when he saw Judge brooding face. Soon, he followed.

Inside the castle hospital room, the scene was warm with several servants attending towards a woman who just underwent labor half an hour ago. 

The woman was beautiful, she has pale skin with wavy shoulder-length blonde hair that had a tuft covering her right eye and dark-blue eyes, in her embrace there was a newly born baby daughter. 

Her gaze was soft and overflowing with love as she saw her daughter cute sleeping face, while the servants stood around and witnessing the mother and daughter bond, the hospital room door suddenly oppened. 

*Wham!

Startled at who was the one entering the room, the servants could only bowed as they make ways for Their King to approach his Queen. 

"Dear? You're back! Come here, look at our daughter!" The young woman cheerfully welcome her husband without noticing his cold face. 

It only took an instant for Judge to arrive beside her bed, he looked at his newly born daughter without any emotions. 

Finaly noticing her husband cold demeanor, the Queen asked, "Dear?" 

"Daughter huh? Good, very good..." Judge sneered as his voice filled with contempt. 

The Queen with a name Vinsmoke Sora suddenly felt something was amiss when she heard Judge's tone, 

"What's wrong with girl? Do you have any problem?" She scowled at Judge who held a contempt towards her daughter. 

Judge doesn't care with his wife scowl, he just kept his attention to the baby, he felt conflicted seeing his first born was a girl! Judge was a man with patriarchial view and totalitarian mindset. 

Having a daughter as first born, Judge had a thought to just kill her here and then, he doesn't even care about his wife emotions and conditions. 

Maybe feeling some malice leaking from her father, the baby suddenly awoken and cried out loud, startling Sora as she put her babygirl into gentle swing on her arms awkwardly. 

Suddenly, Sora was shocked as Judge's large hand covered her view and in an instant later she found that her daughter was already in Judge's arm! 

"Dear! What are you doing?!" Sora tried to sit down, alas, her body was still too weak after labor, she could only see her husband and daughter warily. 

Seeing her baby daughter cry even louder, Sora was anxious when she saw Judge seemingly doesn't care about her daughter in his arm.

She thought carefully and tried to distract her husband, "Dear? I already thought about her name..." 

Thankfully, Judge still has some conscience as he asked coldly, 

"Name?" 

Sora tried to squeeze a smile from her worried face, "Vinsmoke Reiju, How is it?" 

to be honest, Judge still doesn't care about his first born name, it doesn't matter he thought. 

Unbeknownst to his wife who feel anxious, Judge's thought was in somewhere else. 

His mind was back at his encounter earlier with young Marine from HQ who admitted he was a Vice Admiral. A young Vice Admiral? Judge never heard about him, nonetheless, the pressure emenating from that man was realy terrifying, and Judge need to admit that he has no means to fight against him. 

Thankfully, the young Vice Admiral was seems to have no intention against him, if they were to fight, Judge was sure he would be in disadvantage. 

Thinking at the conclusion, Judge shudders as he felt so powerless and the world seems to move faster leaving him behind, this was a second time he felt such feeling, the first was when he met with young Vegapunk and work together in MADS years ago. 

Remembering about his past experience prompting Judge to cast his thought aside and looked at his daughter once more.
