"Daddy?.."
Athy called.
She lay in the sofa at Anastacius's office.

"Hm?"
Anastacius replied.
Since the past 15 minutes, theres only the sound of ink pen scribling around the room, no conversation.

"What is my mom like?"
Athy asked, suddenly.

"Your mom? Lady Diana?.. well.. she's pretty, good at dancing"
Anastacius said.

"Then?"
Athy asked.

"Kind.. and then.."
Anastacius stopped.
He remembers one event that happened, her rejection.

•••
"I'm sorry, your majesty, I can't accept your offer for making me the empress of Obelia"
She apologized.
"I'm worried I'm not enough for the people. I'm only a mere commoner, i'm also a foreigner. Besides.. lady Penelope would be very sad if I became the empress.. she deserve more than me.."

•••
"She's also.. very bold and brave.."
Anastacius smirked.

"Really?"
Athy raised an eyebrow.

"Mhm, she rejected my proposal.."
Anastacius chuckled.

"You ever proposed mom?"
Athy asked, and change her position to a seating position.

"Yeah.. i guesse Claude won her first.."
Anastacius sighed and smiled in pain.

"Oh.. sorry.."
Athy apologized and looked down.

"Eh.. it's okay, i proposed her for fun.."
Anastacius lied.

"Hmmm??? Really? Thats mean.."
Athy said and narrowed her eyebrows on him.

"I just wanna know how brave is she.."
Anastacius lied, again.
He actually proposed Diana, because he fell in love with her charms and beauty. He may not got a chance to talk to her again, but it's okay for him, because he got Athy. It could be said, he got what he needed.

"Interesting.."
Athy said.

"Oh yeah, she's also an interesting women"
He continues.

"Ahh.. I see.. daddy, do I look like my mom?"
Athy asked and smiled. She pointed her face and looked at Anastacius, waiting for his response.

Anastacius stand up from his seat.
He brushed Athy's cheecks slowly and softly and looked at her in the eyes.
"Yeah you do, your hair, your face.."
He smiled.
"You also reminded me of Claude when he's younger, sweet and fragile.."
Anastacius smiled, remembering Claude from the past.

"Really? I looked like his majesty when he's younger?"
Athy gasped and asked.

"Yeah, but prettier"
Anastacius teased Athy.

Athy smiled,
"Thankyou daddy"
Everytime Anastacius holds her and complimented her, it felt warm and lovely for Athy.

Anastacius went back to his work, and Athy layyed back down, starring at the ceiling again.
'I looked like his majesty?.. I wonder what he'd looked like when he's younger..'
Athy smiled and thought.

•••
"Selfish child!"
A women yelled, throwing books to an innocent young boy.
"Why are you born to this world anyways.."

The boy then leave the room, looking for his brother, Anastacius.
"Brother?.."
The young boy called, soon he hear some steps from distance.
He hide behind a pillar and cover his mouth with both of his hand.
But right infront of him, he saw his brother standing alone.

"B-brother?,,"
He called, again.
Anastacius didn't answer, beside, he remains silence.
The young boy decided to hold his hand.

Anastacius eyes opened widely and his pupils shrank,
"Claude?.."

•••
Athy woke up from her nightmare,
Her head keeps on aching, not knowing whats causing it to hurt that badly.

"Akh.."
Athy sighed.
"Why is it swelling.."
Athy holds her chest tighter, she could not resist the pain.

"Bwee.."
Athy puked.
"H-huh?!"
She looks at her hand and blanket, it is all covered in blood.
"D-daddy?!"
She called and cried.

Soon, Lili and few guards entered the room, seeing Athy shaking and trembling in fear.
"L-lady?! C-c-call Lucas, quick!"
She commanded. The guards behing her quickly ran out from Athy's room to find Lucas.

"L-lady.. what happened to you?"
Lili panicked.
She started to wipe Athy's mouth and hand using her apront.
Athy didn't answer, she didn't have the power to.
Her face is pale and white as snow, her hands are cold.

"Is there a problem?"
Lucas asked, calmly.
As soon as he see Athy who looked like a living corpse, he's eyes wide opened and his hands are shaking.
