The Rare Gem

changes

am now 3 years old well I turned 3 last week so athy will turn six in a few months I have now accepted Claude and maria or should I say mom and dad
Yep I accepted both of them as my parents and it has been going good

The heat in the weather had softened so me and dad decided to take a walk in the garden as maria had gone to her home to the Faustus family .while we where there i saw butterflies roaming in the beautiful weather

I sat on a chair right in front of dad with a table in front of us and the shade of a huge tree above us
Felix was there too

On the table there was tea and sweets the maid near us plated me some sweets and poured dad a cup of what seemed like tea dad then told her to leave i took a cookie from the plate know that seeing it my hands where so small that I had to hold it with two hands i took a bite it was very delicious chocolate chips with fruit

I ate a few more things like strawberry vanilla cake dad did not enjoy sweet things so he just continued to drink his tea

Claude:your quiet.did something happen?

Yvonne:nothing i was just too busy in eating...Anyway daddy what are you drinking?

Claude:tea.

Yvonne:can I have some?

Claude:it will be too strong for you

Yvonne:i won't know if I don't try

Dad then pours some in a cup as sone as the liquid hits my mouth i felt a hundred different flavours in my mouth feeling as if flowers bloomed in my mouth

Yvonne:whoa! It feels like spring in my mouth so fresh with so many flavours!

Felix:seems like princess took a liking to the tea

Yvonne:what is it called?

Felix: it's called Lippe tea lady diana-

Claude:you have been talking a lot Felix now shut up.

Yvonne:eh? Who's that

(Diana was not talked about a lot in lovely princess novel and soo-eun has not read about her)

Claude:no one important..She is irrelevant so don't think about her

Yvonne:*weird*when is mommy coming back?

Claude:hm...I am guessing about 4 days more.

Yvonne:hm.

After a few minutes dad gets up

Claude:Felix come with me

Yvonne: where are you going?

Claude:i have to talk with him for a while I'll be back stay here leta go felix

Felix:as you say your majesty

Dad then left with Felix i sat there drinking my tea after I finished i kept the cup on the table and got down from my seat

I played with the flowers made a flower crown for dad and picked a few flowers to put in the vase that dad got me because u took a liking to flowers in this flowers with being pretty they where very unique

After sitting there for a couple of minutes i got frustrated and decided to look for Felix and dad even though it was a irrelevant idea as I had no idea of where they had gone it was better then to sit here

After a while of wandering around i finally found them

Yvonne:there they are!

I got close to them and saw a girl I couldn't see her face as the two towering figures of my father and the red haired knight blocking my sight
I tug on dad's robe to get his attention he looks at me with a coldness in his eyes. It startled me and I flinched which he very much noticed as soon as he realized it was me his gaze softened

Yvonne:dad?....

Claude:Yvonne. what are you doing here

I look at the girl and I quickly recognized her. Yellow blonde hair with jewel eyes. It was Athanasia de Alger obelia

Yvonne:*what is she doing here isn't she suppose to meet me and Claude on her 9th birthday isn't she like 5 currently?!*

I was going to speak out my exact thoughts but then stopped myself knowing i had to stay in character

Yvonne:daddy who is this? *Yeah let's pretend i do not know her at all I mean Claude has not told me about her so pretending is my best option*

*Flashback*

Athy's pov:

After discovering the seemingly abandoned palace i decided to hide my riches in it i was going to stash them in the Ruby palace but

Lily:we should clean the whole palace soon.

i tied the bag of jewels to my legs covering them with my dress

Athy:*it's heavy but I have no choice
I'll walk back and forth a few time like this*
.

.

Lily:sweet dreams princess.

*Clank*

Athy:......*peak*

I get out if bed opening the door

Athy:*ow,owwie it really hurts keeping them tied there*

Carefully making my way out of the Ruby palace i dash out

Athy:*alrighty i got our without anyone noticing *

I ran at full speed towards the palace after I reached there i was exhausted to the point I could not walk properly but I focused on hiding my riches

Athy:*it might cause trouble if I hid them inside the building*

I go behind the bushes and decide to bury them there when the realization struck me

Athy:*i don't have anything to dig with!If I get caught with dirty hande lily will know...
I could have just asked Hannah for a toy shovel!*

With no choice i decided on leaving them there and return later with something to dig

I ran back at full speed again after I reached back i was gasping loudly falling into bed

Lily enters

Lily:princess it's time to..
My princess why are you sweating so much?It looks like you got a light fever are you okay?

Athy:hng the room is so hot there us too much sun.

Lily:your right is it already summer?
I'll put the curtains up tomorrow

After that day I ran out of the Ruby palace in a few days to avoid suspicion
I decided to take a look around and saw a bunch of gold angel statues

Athy:*this is real gold right?*

As I take a but of the gold angel to check i heard a voice

???:what is this filthy bug doing in my palace

I turn to see the last person I wanted to meet and thar person was Claude
In my shock i drop the pouch as all the items in it start to roll out
