"uh, papa Athy can walk by herself" 

"This is faster."

"Wasn't it, you Claude who told her not to make a habit of it?"

"No, the Emporer is right it's not good to overwork the princess' body yet"


Athy had woken up after 48 days causing her to have to learn to walk again due to the young girl's muscles weakening "It's such a lovely day today perhaps we could have a picnic later" suggested calliope "you mean sitting on dirt full of bugs..." questioned Claude staring at his wife with a look of utter disgust "we'll obviously put a blanket down on the grass" she assured

"Your majesty, should I carry the princess?" asked the knight who stood three feet away from the trio "take five steps back." ordered Claude causing the red-headed male to frown as he did as he was told "owwie!" yelped Athy "What is it?" asked Claude not seeming to notice the piece of his hair that was getting tugged by his daughter's hairpin, "I think papa's hair got stuck on Athy's pin" she whined "hold still darling" advised Calliope as she tried to carefully untangle the two blondes hair from each other "Stop fooling around and just take it out"

"Should I help the princess?"

"Five steps back."

Calliope finally managed to get the hairpin untangled from the two's hair with a sigh of relief,
both Athy and her mother seemed to notice a few strands of the blonde man's hair had been pulled out and now stuck in the hairpiece, Athy awkwardly held the flower pin and shook it allowing the few golden strands to fall onto the grassy floor as the two stared awkwardly at the blonde hoping he wouldn't notice "you messed up my hair huh?" he stated "hmm~? n-no you're still as pretty and sparkly as ever." denied the princess "exactly your still as handsome as ever just like the sun!" she spluttered turning to stare at the bottom of her dress in embarrassment, Claude gently plopped Athanasia onto the floor holding his hand out waiting for the hairpin, Athy stared at the hand confused before setting her own tiny hand in his 
"no not that." he grabbed the hairpiece and with great focus, he placed it in her hair just as Calliope taught him to "now your bearable," he stated before grabbing her hand in his own and continuing to walk before grabbing his wife's hand dragging the two girls with him.




"I think it would be best for the princess wouldn't you agree?" asked the knight "I don't get it why would you need something that's just a waste of time?" he remarked listlessly "perhaps it would be good for her to have a friend her age" suggested the empress "Athy doesn't want to be friends with Mr whites kid!" argued the princess "and you don't have to darling" assured the girl's mother perhaps Athy would prefer a girl there were more kids than just rogers son
"I met sir roger yesterday, and he told me he is planning on sending his son to Arlanta soon"

"good then maybe he'll stop barking about the matter"

"is Mr. White's son going to Arlanta to play?" questioned Athy "it seems that he is planning to enroll in a school in Arlanta" explained Felix causing the young princess to once again get lost in thought, both her parents had already left leaving Felix to show the princess her new playmate
