"Someone like me?.."
Athy repeated, looking confused,
"What a coincidence"

"Not all of her looks exactly like you"
Claude said.

'Her?.. so she's a girl?..'
Athy thought,
'Could she be his majesty's first love before my mother?'
Athy pouted and starred other object, at least anything but Claude.

"She has blonde hair, ruby eyes"
Claude continued,
"And you know what they said about her?"
Claude raised an eyebrow to wait for Athy's answers.

"What?"
Athy asked.

"They said.. she was a disgrace to her family, and they wanted my family to buy her with a good price"
Claude chuckled at the end, his sound sounds so soft at that time.
"How ridiculous"

'Why is he telling me this?.. does it looked like i wanted to know more?..'
Athy thought.

"Ah.. i forgot.."
Claude sighed.
"She was a child from a ducal family"

Athy nods, showing she understands.

"She always looked aggresive around people.. specially strangers"
Claude continues.
"But when i met her at a banquet.."
Claude glanced at Athy,
"She tried to runaway from there"

'So?'
Athy thought,
'Is this a fairytail or something? I ain't believing this'
Athy boldly thought.

"She went to the garden and ran with her bare foot, but of course since she's a girl she gets tired easily, i was able to catch up"
Claude looked to the view.
"Her hair glows under the moonlight, and her eyes sparkles from the reflection of the lake"

"And?"
Athy asked, pretending to be curious.

"I know you're not interested Athy, you don't need to fake it"
Claude sighed and starred at Athy.

Athy felt shivers tickling her back
'How did he?..'

"Do you actually know who is she?"
Claude asked, coldly.

"Umm.. your majesty's first love?.."
Athy guessed and tried to hold her breathe.
She can feel she's about to die soon.

"Kinda"
Claude replied.
"She was the same like me, forgotten, unloved and a disgrace to the family"

•••
About 20 years ago..
"Who are you?.."
Little Claude asked, and hold a stick to hit her (just incase)

The girl looks at Claude, holding her tears back,
Instead of letting it go, she chuckled
"Why are you holding that?"
She laughed and point at Claude.

"Incase you're evil!"
Claude replied and narrowed his eyes on hers.

"Pffft..! Hahaha!!"
She started burst out laughing, she was laughing and crying at the same time, she was trying to hide her sadness.

"Why are you crying?"
Claude asked, instead of 'whats funny'

"Hah.. you notice?.. but i didn't know why would you still want to stay at a hell like that"
The girl said and pointed to the hall where the banquet was held.

Claude tilt his head a bit,
"Huh?"

"Nevermind.."
The girl sighed,
"But.. don't you think it's funny?.."
The girl stands and walk closer to Claude, he didn't back off
"That.."
The girl grabs his hand and she puts her hand on his
(Like a highfive position, ya know?but they didn't highfive, they're like comparing their hands )
"We're quite the same.."
The girl smiled.

At that time, a sound of a water droplet drops in a loud voice.

"We're unloved, unwanted, forgotten"
She smiled and let go of Claude's hand.
"We knew that, yet we still craved for those"

Claude blinked, and his eyes shines, seeing at that girl.
"W-who are you?.."
Claude asked, dropping his stick.

The girl smiled and turned to Claude,
"Hmm?.. Diana"

•••
"Diana?.."
Athy asked Claude, since that name sound a bit familiar.

"Diana, your mother"
Claude repeated.

'M-my?.. mother?..'
