"Speak your name" He said making Amel flinch

"Amel Don Agustine..Son of Alexander Don Agustine and Amelia Robane" He said in a monotone voice as he stared into Claude's eyes

Claude tried to hide his feelings, keep his composure but..Those words were exactly what he said when he first saw him, those cold eyes who wouldn't flinch as long as their is a threat surrounding him

No..is he going back to how he was in the past. That's all Claude could think of as he stared straight into those cold violet eyes

Everyone stood there shocked while Amel who was standing in front of Claude looked at him cold yet inside he was shocked and confused

A tear fell from Claude's eyes as he looked at Amel sorrowful, before anyone had a chance to say anything. He immediately walked out leaving every behind

Amel didn't know the reason why but, seeing that man cry stang his heart as if daggers are being pierce right through it. He wanted to chase him, hug him, tell him everything is alright..but he swallowed his guts as he just stood there expressionless

"Mind explaining to me where am I?" Amel said in a monotone voice as a knight approached him

"You are in the Palace, young scholar" Felix said slightly sad looking at his face

"Young Scholar? Palace? I need more Information than that"

"You are Amel Don Agustine..The one and only personal scholar of His Majesty Claude de Alger Obelia"

Felix couldn't do anything as he was just a knight, he wanted to say his real name but...It's best if he keep that part a secret since he was indeed a scholar, a hidden prince no one knew about his existence

"Oh, so that was the emperor..and you are probably the princess. Pardon my rudeness as I just woke up and I'm in an unfamiliar place" Amel slightly bowed at Athanasia who was gripping Lily's clothes tightly

"N-no problem.." Athanasia stutter as she held back her tears staring into his "brother's" face that looks cold and distant

"But if may I ask, it's a wonder how my father accepted me being a Scholar since he was quite well "concerned" about my well being" Those sentence made Fleix flinch as he stared right I Lily's eyes

"Princess, how about a cup of tea?" Lily asked as Athanasia gave a small nod while they walked out of the room quietly

"Don Agustine is dead.. " Felix said as he looked down with guilt ready to see those fearful eyes he saw in Amel when he first met him

"Is that so?" Is all what Amel said as Felix looked at him shocked

"W-what? are you not mad?" Felix asked slightly disbelief as Amel just shrugged
