the lovely prince

Chapter 8: The Truth Reviled

Eros pov:

During break fast i got to catch up with father and Felix indirectly and got to know better Athanasia and Lilian and some of the thing that happened while i was gone but for some reason every time they arrived at a chapter father will either change the subject or  would not reveal the whole story at those time the room would get gloomy and that made me more curios so i decided to once and for all ask father and Felix some explanation and once and for all end this endearing curiosity of mine .

time skip after break fast:

now i was with father going to the imperial  room where most of the meeting are held as we entered the room father took his place on the throne while Felix went beside him and i saw both father and Felix nod at me to start and so i did

END OF EROS POV

NO ONE POV

Eros: 

Father could you actually tell me what happened while i was gone and when did i have a sister?!

Claude:

Well hmm i know you have many question you would like me and Felix to respond so go on and we will take time and answer them privately from each other if it is what please you.

Eros:

well i do have question you can answer together and other i would like to ask individually so let's start then one i can ask you together 

- When did i have a sister and how?

- Why do you all seem so steef when all together?

- What really happened when i was gone?

Claude:

well after you went away there was a party out of loneliness of you being gone i attend it for the first time and there i met a wench who seduced after seducing she became an entertainment and i saw her more often after a while she became pregnant and thru her pregnancy they found out Athanasia was eating her inside with her powers but then again she decided to give birth to Athanasia.

Felix:

And for us being stiff together is because the moment you came we saw each other more often and did thing we do not usually do together or normally do.

Eros:

Hmm i understand okay no if you both allow me i would like to start asking the individual questions let start with father please step out Felix.

Felix and Claude nodded in understandment then Felix went out and so they started

Eros:

"Tell me father why did you hold me so tight as if you would loose someone who is dear to you again? why did your eyes scream pain and agony? why did you seem to want to tell me something that night but didn't? why  are you lying saying that wench when it is clear that you had a love affair with her? and why does it seem that you are rather distant from Athanasia? and when will you learn not to hide your mental and physical exhaustion from me huh?!"

As Eros seemed to continue to attack Claude with question Claude on the other hand was feel as tho his walls were breaking his heart softening and his eyes glistening with tears as his son who had been here for only one day could see thru him the moment he came while the people he lived with and grew up with could only see what wasn't hurt with the amount of pain he was bearing and made him finally loose as both Claude and Eros didn't remark Eros was standing right in front of Claude while he was seated looking up at Eros with those teary eyes it wasn't a matter of time when Claude finally busted into tears as he hugged Eros by the waist and just continues to sob Eros was taken by surprise but he just choose to comfort his father that was the most urgent thing to do now after moments Claude seemed to calm down so Eros decided to ask one more time but this time more gently and so he did

Eros:

Just why father why all this mystery 

And so Claude started telling Eros how lost he was when he went away and the story of Him and Diana and why he would actually seem distant to Athanasia after a while of hearing his father and consoling him and giving him better advices The Emperor was asleep so he decided to go and see Felix and so they could talk about it 

Time skip after meeting Felix

After the meeting Eros was glad as he was able to help his father and Felix and console them he was sad they had to go thru all of the alone he was sad as Felix had to put on fake smile on his face everyday so he could support his father but also had to everything he was sad cause his father had to his lover die and he could not speak about it he was sad his father had to built up his emotion but he was mostly sad that he wasn't there for them for his family 

well if you ask what happened with Felix well the same thing as Claude as he also busted out all his sadness and end with him sleeping as he was exhausted but now he was headed to the princess chamber before he knew it he arrived he then knock on the door he was greeted with Athanasia opening the door he stepped in made her sit on the bed and the started asking her questions

Eros:

You know Athanasia we haven't known each other for a long time but i want to know you more but before that tell me really who are?

as Eros asked this question Athanasia seemed petrified as one there was a knew character she never knew of then he is kind to which she was glad but then he already figured her out so she just to not get nervous and tried to respond with stutter maybe but still a response 

Athanasia:

wh- wh- What do you mean brother

Eros kind off found that really suspicious but brushed it off as she was just scared

Eros: 

I mean the maturity you have is beyond your age so did you get ~~~~~~~

And now Eros was sitting on a bench while his eyes were closed and the sun light hitting him it was peaceful and he was contented with the way he helped his family 

Author pov:

Now you may ask what happened and what did he say to Anastasia well let's go back a little

Eros:

I mean the maturity you have is beyond your age so did you get thru any terrible events for this to happen are you really okay 

as Eros asked Athanasia such a thing she felt relieved and then sad as she realised no matter how many people cared for her now she couldn't forget those hurtful day where she was mistreated where Claude would look at her with such cold eyes and the way her talked to her as if he would understand and could see her every emotion made her feel weak she just like the others started crying and telling how she felt but of course she never forgot to not tell him she reincarnated and just like others she fell a sleep with a more refreshed mind and less burdened and just like that Eros went out of the room and smiled then said

Eros: 

Finally "The Truth Is Reviled"

and that is how he went out sat on a bench and relaxed a bit.
