Athanese pov
I wonder why I said I wanted to meet ijikiel in the weekend ..... Argh ! If I assumed correctly then Athanasia is supposed to meet lucas soon and that could be the day when she meets him
I wanted to see Lucas for myself but at don't mind meeting ijiekel though.
" Why are you making funny faces "
Rose asked as she pointed towards my face
" Why ? Are you worried "
I asked as I tilt my head . I didn't know it before but this type of acts makes me feel cute.....
No !
NoOoOoO
Stop ! Stop ! My mentality shouldn't change !!
Stop ! Thinking like that Athanese it's weird .....
Third person pov
When Athanese was deeply questioning his mentality he didn't notice how rose's cheeks flushed as she looked at Athanese still tilting his head with a finger kept on his chin
' ahh !! Whatever '
Athanese thought and spoke
' hmph ! That brat '
Rose thought as she turned her head
" Rose , can you call the maids "
" Yes "
Rose replied as she went to call the maids still blushing lightly. The maids came and dressed Athanese and combed his already perfect fluffy hair.
After dressing up , Athanese went to visit Claude in his office.
" Father ? "
Athanese asked as he peeked his head out of the door and looked around.
" What is it ? "
Claude asked
" Father , the thing is .... "
Athanese said as he nervously played with his fingers
" Hmm ? What is it ? "
Claude said as he looked at Athanese in curiosity
" I am gonna go ..... "
Athanese said as he began to get more and more nervous as the time passes
" Where ? "
Claude asked as he glared
" I am gonna go to visit Ijiekel Alpheus"
Athanese said as he looked up to meet his father's eyes. Claude stood there not believing what he just said and replied with a plain old
" No "
" B...but I told that I will visit them today "
Athanese said as his eyes was getting teary because he didn't like breaking promises. Claude looked at his son who was about to cry .
" Ok then but take some knights with you "
Claude said as he sighed
" Oh.... Thank you father !! "
Athanese said as he jumped towards claude and pecked on his cheeks. Claude was froze for a little while as he watched his son leave .
' oh my goodness what the hell did I just do '
Athanese thought as he began his search for Athanasia . When he reached the garden where she usually plays. He saw felix calling for Athanasia and going back inside muttering something like I have to remember 10 more atlantan words .
Athanese walked inside the garden and saw a some sort of magical barrier.
' is today the day ? '
Athanese thought and called for Athanasia
Meanwhile , Athanasia was telling lucas to not to eat her magic beast when she suddenly heard her little brother calling for her.
" Athy !! Are you there ? "
Athanese asked
" Oi !! Athanese !! I am here "
Athanasia said as she waved her hand.
" Heh , shouldn't you already know that they can't see us and hear us-"
Lucas said and was suddenly interrupted when Athanese somehow came through his barrier
' wow ! That barrier was super hard to come through ! As expected of the strongest mage... He looks really pretty too '
Athanese thought as he walked towards Athanasia and pretended to not know lucas.
' oh ? How interesting '
Lucas thought with a smirk in his face
" Athy , who is he ? "
Athanese whispered to Athanasia but lucas was still able to hear them.
" I don't know , he says he wants to eat blackie "
Athanasia whispered as she shrugged her shoulder. Lucas looked at the twin in amusement
" Who is blackie "
Athanese whispered to Athanasia
" My divine beast "
Athanasia replied back. Athanese made a oh sound and looked at lucas.
' should I piss him off ? '
Athanese thought as he tilted his head with question marks above his head
" He does look a little bit creepy "
Athanese thought out loud. Lucas had a tick mark on his face as he glared at the small boy
" Oh ! I am gonna go now ! Bye Athy ! Bye lucas ! "
Athanese said as he ran while waving his hand. Athanasia and lucas looked at Athanese
' wow ! That was pretty hectic '
Athanese thought as he sat on the carriage with rose in sitting in front of him . They both shared some conversation here and there. When they finally reached the Alpheus Mansion , Athanese was tired because he recently used huge amount of magic just to break the make shift barrier lucas made.
' if he seriously made the barrier and not on whim then I am sure it would have took me a lifetime to get through '
Athanese thought as he climbed down the carriage with the help of Rose who was a feet or two taller than him
' damn , why am I so short '
Athanese thought as he walked out. He saw Roger Alpheus standing there as of waiting for his arrival. When he arrived nearer to them. He bowed and greeted
" Blessings and glory upon the Obelia Empire "
He said . Athanese nodded his head and bowed in response
" It's a pleasure to meet you again , Sir Roger "
Roger smiled in response and lead the way towards the living room where Ijiekel is waiting.
" My son was been waiting for your arrival , your highness "
Roger said
" Oh my ! Is that so . From what you just stated I think your son is very adorable "
Athanese said as he politely smiled and chuckled
' of course , kid Ijikiel is so cute '
Athanese thought
" We have arrived your highness "
Roger announced as he pushed the door to reveal a child that had similar characteristics like him but cuter and more better. Athanese was immediately bewitched by Ijikiel's beauty .
' wow 😲 ! I get to see two ikemen at same day ! '
Athanese thought as he looked at ijikiel who flinched a little when he arrived and walked towards him
" Wow , your son is really good looking Sir Roger . I am sure he will snatch away many young lady's heart"
Athanese complimented as Ijikiel blushed at his blunt compliment
" Haha ! He is indeed eye catching but you are not that bad yourself your highness "
Roger said as he eyes the two pretty children infront of him
" It's a pleasure to meet you , your highness "
Ijikiel said as he bowed
" It's a pleasure to meet you too but please refer to me as Athanese if you don't mind "
Athanese said as he held his hands forward and smiled
" B..but that would be rude to do so , your highness-"
Ijikiel was interrupted by Athanese when he said ' your highness ' again...
" Then I shall call you kiel so you can call me Athanese or give me a nickname !! Ok kiel !? "
Athanese said as he was determined to make this crazy good looking kid his friend
' his highness is too cute '
Ijikiel thought as he blushed a little at his blunt nature
" T-then Athanese ! Do you want to be my f... Friend ? "
Ijikiel asked as he prepared his heart for a plain blunt ' no ' from the royal
" Yes , I am happy to be your kiel "
Athanese said as he smiled while holding his hands
" Yes ! Me too Athanese "
Ijikiel replied as he too smiled because he was genuinely happy to get to be friends with Athanese
' they are sparkling '
Roger thought as he and rose sweat dropped at how fast they became friends .
After a little bonding session , they sat down and shared their likes and dislikes. They both enjoyed each others company and ended up not realizing that it was already late.
It was already evening when Athanese departed and as soon as he reached his room. He slept with no care to his surrounding. Rose sighed at his carefree attitude and placed a blanket over him.
In the morning , Athanese and Athanasia came down to have their breakfast. Lily was plating the food and Felix was standing beside her.
" It's been a while since we had chocolate cake with tea for a while "
Lily said as she placed the chocolate cake in the plate. Whereas Athanasia's
eyes were twinkling at the mention of Chocolate. Suddenly Athanasia's divine pet who is named Raven jumped out of her hold and hopped on felix's shoulder . He then hopped towards the plate and munched down the cake in a instant
' wow ! The divine beast does represent their owners '
Athanese thought. After that , Athanasia ended up keeping it. She ate with it , played with it and slept with it. Athanese was getting more worried as the day passes because he knew that Athanasia will get sick because of her mana but Lucas will come to save her . But he didn't want to see her in pain at all so he recommended her to stay away sometime from Raven but she always ended up ignoring his words.
Today , Athanese and Athanasia were as asked to visit claude. Athanasia was carried by felix to the throne room , he offered to carry Athanese too but Athanese politely refused. When they arrived , Athanasia jumped from felix's arms and ran to greet Claude
" Daddy , I missed you "
Athanasia said as she smiled brightly at Claude. Athanese who was a little behind her also came and greeted Claude while smiling.
" your majesty , weather is nice today how about going for a walk "
Felix recommended to claude and claude just hummed in response and replied
" A walk doesn't sound so bad "
Athanasia was staring at the golden throne in amazement as she unknowingly pulled the cloth of claude thinking he was felix. Athanese just chuckled as he looked at Athanasia admiring the throne.
' haha , no need to dig holes in the Throne. It will soon be yours '
Athanese thought as he smiled
" What is it ? "
Claude asked as he looked at Athanasia who pulling his clothes. When Athanasia noticed that she wasn't getting picked up she looked upwards and shrieked in horror as she looked at Claude.
" She is asking to carry her "
Felix said as he smiled proudly whereas Athanese just watched them in amusement
Claude then picked Athanasia by her dress making her choke.
" She is feeling uncomfortable , your majesty "
Felix said as he ran up to claude
" What part of it is uncomfortable ? She is just has to stay still "
Claude said with a straight face
" I can't ... Breathe ~ "
Athanasia said when she was took away from uncomfortable hold of claude and into a comfortable hold of felix.
She wrapped her hands around his neck and pushed her face in his nape not willing to let go of him
" You should carry her like this , your majesty "
Felix said with a proud smile
' ah I am saved '
Athanasia thought in relief. Athanese was unable to move from his spot in horror as he knew today was the day.
" I just want felix to carry me "
Athanasia said as she held felix's neck tighter. Athanese was brought out of his thought when Athanasia said that.
Felix and claude just stared each other for some seconds before felix displayed a delighted smile.
' wow , it feels more enjoyable to see this in real '
Athanese thought as he looked up at Athanasia who was getting carried by felix
' I want to get carried too..
No
No...
Stop thinking like that ! I shouldn't even exist in this world '
Athanese thought and as each second passed by his thoughts getting more and more depressing
" What about you , your highness ? "
Felix asked to Athanese who seems to be in daze.
" O-oh ! I am fine , I can walk "
Athanese said as he smiled a little. Suddenly he felt his feet leave the ground and when he looked at who is carrying him , he nearly felt his soul leave his body when he saw Claude carry him
' You are supposed to carry Athanasia ! Not me '
Athanese thought
Claude gently patted his head and that seems to stop whatever Athanese was thinking. Claude held Athanese just like felix was holding Athanasia
' it feels nice , to be taken care of '
Athanese thought as he hugged his father's nape
' a family ?
A family , huh ?
It feels nice to have one that cares for you '
Athanese thought .
' wow , claude is being gentle with him ! As expected of the bewitching cuteness of my bro '
Athanasia thought as she mentally applauded for Athanese's bravery. When they were walking , Claude conversed a little with Athanasia and Felix whereas Athanese just stayed quite enjoying the warmth.
Suddenly a irritating fly came to sit on his hand and he felt really angry as his precious calming state was destroyed by this annoying little fly. Then he suddenly remembered that in original story , Athanasia will slap him so he refrained from doing so.
But when the fly landed on his nose , he frowned and when the fly landed he smacked the fly and he accidentally slapped the forehead of claude
' O . m . G '
Athanese and Athanasia thought
' woah !! Head shot !! Good job bro '
Athanasia mentally cheered
" What do you think you are doing ? "
Claude asked as he glanced at Athanese
" Ah , it was a bug "
Athanese said as he had tears well up in his eyes with his cheeks flushed from embarrassment
" Now , you are calling me a bug ? "
Claude asked
' HAHA ! yes good job bro '
Athanasia again cheered
" Oh no ! Not at all "
Athanese said as he hid his face on Claude's neck.
When they sat down to have tea , Athanese had flushed cheeks due to the major embarrassment he received
' why am I feeling so suffocated '
Athanasia thought as Athanese looked at her worriedly . Suddenly , Athanasia coughed and blood came out of her mouth.
Athanese looked at her in worry . As Claude's eyes widened. Suddenly she fell of her chair.
" Athy ! "
" Princess ! "
