Athanasia's POV
'Our father of this world'
'Was a real pyscho...I know dear sister I know...' my twin sister continue my thought
Suddenly I felt goosebumps all over my body 'You okay Athy? you look so paled..' Alyssa asked. 'According to what I overheard from the maid's talking, this ruby palace we currently living in was originally where the emperor's concubines lived...' I said in mind
'What?' Alyssa asked, I think she doesn't know what is concubines...'In short, the emperor's harem..' I explained to her
'Ooooo, not only a pyscho I never think that he also a whore..' Alyssa response making me laugh in baby way 'Or so it was until we born...' I said to her 'When our father and our brother killed everyone in the Ruby palace...' Alyssa continue my sentence
'Our mother was a dancer invited to the royal banquet' Alyssa said 'She drew emperor's attention and was deflowered by him even his son!!! But the she was forgotten except those two pyschopath brother...' I continue Alyssa sentence
'And died, leaving two infant behind, who was us... Since then, the emperor and the prince have cast us aside too, his baby girl. So we raised by the wind rocking our cradle...I mean, the maids of the Ruby Palace..' I said 'What's this dirtbag of an emperor doing throwing his wife and daughter aside?'
'Some family....' Alyssa answered as she still playing with her plushie 'Leaving a baby like us here where he and his pyscho son committed such a cruel massacre... ugh since hearing the story for the first time I've been having nightmares every night.' I sigh 'Then don't hear it..' Alyssa said making me irritates
'But what scares me more than the nightmare....is the emperor that we have never even met yet.' I said which making Alyssa agree with me 'Even born as a princess and where the demon doesn't exist, I didn't get to be lucky...' Alyssa said 'What if he suddenly got cuckoo again and tries to kill us?! Like he killed everyone here in this palace. I should think of something else, I'm scaring myself..' I thought to myself
'The name we got in this life was given to us by our birth mother'
The Undying
Athanasia
'Well for Alyssa, she has multiply meaning but since our mother from Siodonna I think her name mean is....'
The Sweet Angel
Alyssa
'Such an extravagant name for an outcast princesses like us. It's the same name as the ill-fated princesses in that romance novel Lovely princess.' I thought to myself
'I suppose mother meant for me to live long and prosper in the Emperor's care while Alyssa was meant to cherish the Emperor and the prince with all her love. Unfortunately, The Athanasia from the novel face a tragic death at the age of 18.....By her father the emperor himself, no less!'
'As for Alyssa, she stole Athanasia's dead body to the most beautiful forest yet the most danger and killed herself by drinking the poison....Why do I keep thinking about it ?!' Athanasia thought making troubled look face
The door suddenly slammed open widely and three maid walk into our room. "Hm, She's still not asleep?" One of the maid said, I guess Ally already sleeping "Do we really need to be here? She can't move on her own anyway," One of the maid complained "You know how fussy Lillian, so much trouble that one" Another maid said
"Think of this as taking a break," A maid said
"What if that one start to cry?" One of the maid ask
"Well be quite if you don't want her to cry or rock her cradle, so she'll fast to asleep faster." One of the maid said
'Aah, this again.' I thought getting tired of this sh!t 'Let's not take it out on us, ladies, we're all stuck here in the Ruby Palace together!' I thought as I getting mad for calling my cute twin sister a crybaby even thought she always making me irritate and annoyed
'People would think she is a crybaby from the way you talk when the reason she cry is because you always slammed the door !' I continue
'Lily even worries that she don't cry enough, too!'
.

'The emperor and the prince never came to see us, so I suppose they're all belittling us as an outcast. Are we resentful? No way! My goal is to stay a forgotten princess, out of his sight for as long as I can' I thought
' I'd be set for life if I run off with some ornaments from this room... So please, forget us!' I thought until 'How about we enjoy this life for now then we run away when we were 13 year sold..' Alyssa suggest 'fine...'
Alyssa's POV
"His majesty doesn't even think of them but they surrounded by such luxuries, what a life!" the maid said as she putting the blanket over the tiny baby I mean us...
'This is a palace after all, we get three meals a day, a nice cozy bed, no matter how bad I got it, it's still the life of a princess. I'm going to grow big and strong, steal some gold and run off !!' Athanasia thought
She really scared that emperor and his two pyscho son 'Don't forgot about me' I remind her 'Yes, me and Ally will going to grow big and strong, steal some gold and run off !!' Athanasia said in mind
It's funny because Athanasia mentally is 18 years old while me only 13 years old. Yet she is acting like a kid but maybe it's because we were reincarnated in this childish book and worse the character that were meant to die.
"We're nothing but candles in the wind," One of the maid begin
'Ah, gossip again? Instead of gossiping, why don't you maid do your job.' I thought making Athy chuckle
.
.
.
'Come to mama, sweet sweet gold!' Athanasia as she looking at the gold ball, I wonder how poor she is until making her obsessed with gold. I was playing with my sheep doll, recently I like fluffy stuff because it's so relaxing.
"Oh my!" Lily exclaim before kissing Athy's cheek then me
'Lily must have thought I like sparkly things.' Athy said 'Yes she is, last time I check. She promise to bring you a gift if you get tired to.' I said having a flashback for a moment 'Lily, you are my cornucopia!' Athy said to herself. Just how poor she is in her past life..
'I'll take this with me when I make run for it hehe,' Athy said as she pulled closer her golden ball 'Ah, I am drooling!'
'Our days in the Ruby Palace was peaceful, Athy was nervous at first while me.....Just welcome the sudden death with open arm' I said to myself trying to sleep
'I never heard from emperor and the prince for months, so they must have forgotten us...' I continue
'Even the maid doesn't take their job seriously...' I said and drift to sleep
After a few hour
"The sorcerer of the tower had the strongest power among all the sorcerers in existence," Lily read loudly so that we can hear
'A sorcerer! So there are sorcerer in this world. I knew this wasn't just some random foreign country! We're really in fantasy world!' Athy exclaim
'You're right....In my past life, I only see blood demon art..' I response
"The sorcerer of the tower so powerful, he could easily bring an empire to ruins" Lily continue
'I wanna see it too! I wanna to see real magic too!' Athy said to herself
Lily smiled at us "And for that reason, they freeze their own hearts. Because such powers could be used for trivial things if passion overcome reason and emotion overcome rationality."
"There are theories that the sorcerer from the tower destroyed the kingdom before our Obelian Empire." Lily continue
'I can't hold my childish wish. I want to see the magic with my own eyes!' I said making Athy chuckle
"Oo dis?" Athy asked in baby voice
"Oh my, do you recognise who he is?" Lily asked
"Nope." Athy and me bluntly said in our mind at the same time
"Yes, that's right. It's your father and your brother princesses" Lily said happily
'What?! That damned bloke and bloodyhell son of a beach who left his wife and child who are their half-blooded little sister and are out there doing god knows what?' Athy screamed in her mind
"Bee baa! Eeya!" Athy screamed while punching the photo
(Translate Baby --> English = Bastard! Trash!)
"My my! Our princesses are certainly a bright young child, " Lily said while patting us
'If only she understand baby's language... The current emperor of the Obelian Empire is the hero who brought an end to tyrannical, devil-worshipping evil king before him..' I said to myself
'This scumbag who throw his second wife and his childs, I wonder how he got beautiful wife I mean...

'What a jerk. ' I said until..
"That remind me, I've never told you the majesty and his highness's name. Would you look at this picture again? " Lily said showing the picture
'I'm not curious! What is there for me to know about that dirtbag?' Athy exclaim, she really hate him...
