Athy's POV
"Dad?" I asked while scanning his room.
Hmmm odd. Felix said he should be right here..
I walked around his room to see portraits made of gold, couches arranged randomly in the room, and a bed that no one's laying on.
As I was walking around, I almost screamed at the sight of Claude sleeping on the couch in front of me.
Geez! You have a bed for a reason!
As I calmed myself down, I noticed Dad opening his eyes. Before I could greet him goodmorning, however, he quickly grabbed my hand like a psychopath.
"H-huh?!"
We both fell silent as Claude looked confused.
He then let go of my hand.
"What.. was that for.?"
"... Reflex.."
"Ah.. I feel you."
"What?"
"What?"
"You said something wei-"
"Oh yeah, good morning dad!" I exclaimed.
"..." Claude looked at me strangely.
"I'll let it go this one time."
"Hehe, you're so sweet, dad!" I smiled nervously.
"...Tea?"
"Yeah!"
———
Outside the palace, Claude and I had a small tea party.
"About your coming of age ceremony.."
"Ah, doesn't Jeannette do one too?" I asked without thinking.
"...I'll announce publicly that she is no longer of the imperial family."
"...." I remained silent.
"I will promise to prepare the greatest coming of age ceremony for you. Do you have any requests?"
"Hmm... Can dad escort me?" I asked jokingly.
"...Sure."
"W-what?!"
"I said sure."
"I mean- I-I know that.. But.." I couldn't find the right words to say.
"Is that it?"
"I mean- yeah."
"Alright."
"Ah, dad, may you please join me in a battle duel?"
"..."
"Oh, and no need to take it easy on me!"
"Alright."
————
Klang- shwiiing-
"Ha!"
"..." Claude grinned as he fell on the ground.
"Yay! I can beat papa?!"
"Again."
This time, Claude beat me easily.
"Ah!! What?"
"I was taking it easy on you."
"Tsk. I knew I shouldn't have hoped to beat you.. After all, papa is the best!"
