3rd POV
Athanasia open her eyes and the first thing she saw is a black hair magician.
"you're awake, you must thinking you're some kind a sleeping beauty"
Athanasia close her eyes back. "Oh? Now you're pretending to be asleep?"
"Should I fetch a prince for you from abroad? Which contrary do you prefer? Atlanta? Huale? Sycansia?"
Athanasia had a tick mark on her head. 'Dude, please! Can I have a moment to let that sink in before waking up? It was a super important dream!'
Athanasia sit up and place her hand on her chest and to feel that she not in pain anymore.
"You own me your life while your brother own me a slight but big favour~" Lucas smirk at the last sentence.
Athanasia dumbfounded before snap out of it to search her brother when she remember that he save her life.
Athanasia looked around to her brother but find nothing. Lucas who noticed her looking around to find someone decide to ask her.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Where's big brother? Where is he?"
"Oh? You mean the prince? He rest in his room"
Athanasia eyes widen "What? I thought he in this room because when I woke up that day, he was in it"
"Don't ask me, I know nothing" Lucas shrugged his shoulder. "But the only thing I know is- when I'm going to heal him, he already awake and he said he going to rest in his room, that's all I know"
Before Athanasia could say anything the door open. The door open to reveal Claude and Felix.
Claude looked at Athanasia and Athanasia looked at him.
"Princess!" Felix happily said with a tear in his eyes.
Athanasia rise up and run to Claude. "Daddy!"
"He- GAH!" Athanasia trip on her feet.
Claude immediately catch her before she hit the ground. Claude eyes widen and Athanasia confused at Claude.
Claude gently lift Athanasia up. "Are still feeling sick?"
Athanasia shake her head while Claude scan her body to see if anything is wrong.
"There won't be another side effects?"
"Daddy, That man-" Athanasia eyes widen when she see Lucas turn himself into a child while they haven't noticed.
*Cough, cough, cough* "Ah, it seems that I may have used up almost all my power to heal the princess and the prince"
"Certainly, you deserve a praises for you hard works"
"of course, that will be after we confirm that the princess and the prince is completely recovered"
Lucas had his hand on his mouth and had fake tears in his eyes and most importantly there's sparkle effect in the background to make him look like innocent magician.
"I beg your pardon your majesty but the princess is still not completely healed especially the prince"
"What do you mean they not completely healed?" Claude said while Athanasia had a disgust looked on her face.
"I beg your forgiveness, your majesty, I am still but a boy in training and I was not able to stabilized the princess mana completely but the worst had passed, so her mana will slowly be returning to its place now- KEGH!"
"This sort of thing may happen in few times in the- kegh, future but I'll make sure that when it happens...I will sacrifice my body to help the princess and the princ- kegh kegh!"
Felix Worriedly look at Lucas. "Your majesty, I think it would be best if we give him some rest first, we can hear the details later. It seems the young warlock has exhausted himse-"
Felix was cut off by Lucas. "No need, Im going to- kegh, check the prince to see how is he doing- kegh!"
Felix had a worried looked.
"I'm going to- kegh, heal the prince if, your majesty, won't mind- kegh!" Lucas still 'cough'
"But-" Felix once again has been cut off by someone we know.
"Do as you wish" Claude said.
Lucas bow to Claude then walked out with Felix escort him out.
"Princess!"
"Lily!"
"Princess! I finally get to see you again... I-I'm so happy. For the past month I've thought I might never to see you again, so I-" Lily cried.
"A month?"
"Yes"
Felix just came back after he escort Lucas.
"You've have been asleep for exactly 48 days" Athanasia went dumbfounded at the moment.

"Well, it's good for your health" Lucas lean back on the chair while cross his arms.
"And you own me a big favour" Lucas smirk. Lucas is in his adult form when Emily already leave.

Lucas brought his face close to Adelio until their nose almost touch.
They just stared at each other eyes, no one even speak and the only thing they hear is their breath.
'Why this scene feels familiar?'
"What do you think you're doing?" Adelio ask Lucas.
Lucas didn't answer him. "Oi, answer me, you handsome ass magician"
Lucas still haven't answer him and the next thing Adelio knew that Lucas was leaning in to kiss him.

Lucas just sighed and close his eyes while rubbing his forehead "What a pain you are and as I was saying- you and your sister still haven't fully recover yet"
"I see" Adelio calmly said while sips his tea.

"There's nothing to do other than eat, sleep and read book. Since I'm still weak, I can't go out"
"And top of that... I CANT EVEN WALK PROPERLY WITHOUT FALL"
"WHAT KIND OF LIFE DID I HAVE?!" Adelio cried in anime tears while hitting the pillows.
"Oh wait, I could practice to walk" Adelio nod to himself. "And if I can walk again, I don't need to lie down again"

"Uh dad, Athy can walk by herself"
"This is faster"
'yeah yeah, you always find an excuse' I just stared at them.
"That's right, it's not good to overwork your body, princess"

"What a nonsense are you talking about? You haven't completely recovered yet" I want to talk back but Claude glare at me.
"And don't talk back to me"

"Owwie"
"What is it?"
"I think daddy's hair stuck in Athy's hair pin"
"Then stop fooling around and just take it out"
"Should I help princess?" Felix happily said.
"Five steps"
Felix frown again but still doing what Claude told him.
"Get it out before the walk is over"
Athanasia struggle to get it out at first but she succeed to take it out. "Done-"
Athanasia look at her hair pin to see Claude hair stuck while me, I just watch her and hold back my laughter.
Athanasia hurriedly shake her hair pin so that Claude won't notice.
"You messed up my hair, Huh?"
"Hmm~ n-no you're still as pretty and sparkly as ever" Athanasia said while patting Claude hair and desperately look at me for help.
"She right, your majesty, you're still pretty and sparkly as ever" Claude look at me then Athanasia.
Claude then put Athanasia on the ground then let go of my hand, he put his hand out Infront of Athanasia.

'A-are you going to hold my hand?' Athanasia put her tiny adorable hand on top of Claude hand.
"Not that" Claude take Athanasia hair pin and push Athanasia hair back to put the hair pin back to it place.
Claude was so focus on putting it after he done put it, he stand up and put his hand on his chin and proudly look at the masterpiece? he made.
"Now, you're bearable" Athanasia had a question mark on her head.
I just smile at the sight and without I notice, Claude come to me and fix my messy hair.
I look at Claude confusedly while Claude he just focus on fixing my hair.
He then back away and look proudly again.
"Now, you're bearable"
'Isn't that the same thing you said to Athanasia?' I had a deadpanned look.
