'Glad his majesty didn't talk a lot..'
Athy thought and drank her tea calmly.
Usually when Claude talks with Athy, it made her feel anxious.
'Aww.. he remembers i like lippe tea too..'

"How are you? These days"
Claude asked out of the blue.
Making Athy almost spit her tea, but gladly she holds it.

"A- i'm fine, your majesty.. what about you?"
Athy smiled weirdly, and tried to clear her throat.

Claude didn't replied, he only starred his cup for a long time.
Well, that means he's fine, i guesse.

'Huh?.. what else to talk about?..'
Athy tried to think a question for him.
'Ah.. what if i asked about Jenette and Izekiel?! Wait.. i can't ask it suddenly.. i must think an opening..'
Athy starred at the view then Claude back and forward.

"What are you looking at?"
Claude asked Athy straightly.

"Hmm?.. the view"
Athy tried to stay calm.
'This is the time..'
"By the way.. your majesty, i heard you came to Archland last week to check Jenette, is she ok?"
Athy asked, her hands are sweating and gripping to her dress tightly.

"I did came, but not to check Jenette"
He said, with a cold and plain tone.

'Eh? Then what for?'
Athy starred at Claude, confused.
"Oh.. i'm sorry.. i thought Jenette was sick or something.."

"I came to see if you have came to school or not"
Claude explains.

'Huh?..'
Athy's eyes widened.
'He's worried about me?..'

"Athy, if i say sorry, will you comeback?"
Claude asked, starring at Athy's blue eyes.

Athy didn't heard what Claude said since her mind was filled with her questions.
"P-pardon?.."
Athy blinked so she woke up from dazing.

"Nevermind.."
Claude sighed and lay his chin on his hand and starred at the view instead.

"But last time.. Jenette.. was asked by a boy? Is it true?"
Athy asked, she slightly giggled remembering Clsude was there too.

"Yes"
Claude replied.

"Haha.. oh.. and Jenette told the boy that she has a fiance already, is it real? Your majesty?"
Athy asked again, here eyes were occupied on Claude's face.

"Maybe"
Claude nods once.
"Is something wrong with that?"

Athy glanced to Claude again,
"Ah.. nothings wrong.. but may i know who could it be? He's really lucky.."
Athy said and her voice started to fade at the end,
"..to have a kind princess.."
She sighed, more like a whisper.

"I don't know, whoever the boy is, that engagement is used to make a better connection with other kingdom"
Claude explains,
To make Athy feel better.

"Oh.. i thought it's Izekiel, he's such a kind boy and a sweet one to Jenette too!"
Athy smiled.

"That uncle white's child?"
Claude asked.

'He remembers i like to call Roger Alpheus uncle white?..'
Athy's eyes widened, seeing Claude calmly drinks his tea.
"U-um.. y-yeah"

"He is kind to her, like a brother, it's ridiculous"
Claude said.
"Jenette always act like a child around him, pulling him anywhere like this palace is her's"

Athy was confused why Claude would say that.
"O-oh, is that so?.."
Athy giggled.

Few minutes has passed.
Athy had nothing else to ask Claude.
While Claude would rather stay in silence than talk.
Athy glanced at Claude, seeing his tired eyes.
'Has he rest well?.. these days?..'
Athy worried.

"Athy"
Claude called.

Athy raised her head and looked at him,
"Hm?"

"When I was a kid, i met somebody, who almost looked like you"
Claude tells.
