3 years has passed. Anastasius and Yujerian had improved their abilities, especially swordsmanship, magic, and education they had learned back then.
But it's not about them.
Currently, Athanasia de Alger Obelia had plans to avoid her death sentence when her age reached 18.She planned to collect some of the luxuries of the Ruby Palace and kept them at a certain place.
Usually, she would hide it beside the tree on the Ruby Palace.
She was surprised when Lilian told her about her father.
Claude de Alger Obelia.
She recalled when she talked about him.
'Your father, his majesty Claude de Alger Obelia'
She was a baby at that time, so she couldn't answer it.She thought it was going smoothly according to a novel she read back then until.......
'You also had a brother, your highness.He became a Crown Prince of Obelian Empire, the next heir to the throne. His name is Anastasius de Alger Obelia.He's 3 years older than you'
That's where she realized there will more mess she will have to through in the future.
'Goddamnit, there's another psychopath in this family?!Am I the only one who sane in this royal family?!'
Luckily, the novel was still going normal as usual.She had to avoid both of them.The reason she collected some gold or accessories in the Ruby Palace so she could escape, leave the Empire, and live a peaceful life.
The other day, she stealthily snuck around the unknown palace but failed to do so and running back to the Ruby Palace.
At the morning, she layed at the bed exhausted before Lilian entered the room. Seeing her highness, she quickly gave her a cold milk.
Today, she went to the unknown palace again and saw a golden statue. Her eyes were sparkling in excitement as she bit on the statue's buttocks.
Unfortunately, there's a tall figure standing behind her, she's not even realized until that person spoke.
"What is this filthy bug doing in my palace?"Claude said while narrowed his cold eyes at the kid in front of her.
She turned around to see the emperor of the Obelian Empire with a terrified expression. She glanced at the person's behind him, there's another blonde with jewel blue eyes, the same as Claude and Athanasia, and two crimson red hair beside him.
She stepped back but Claude's shadow covered her whole body as the bag she had on her hands dropped.
Meanwhile, Anastasius with Yujerian and Felix on his side glanced at his half-sister, Athanasia de Alger Obelia.
'Typical of her'
"That face......I've seen it before"Claude said with such coldness in his voice.
Athanasia's face had gotten pale, terrified because of him and afraid if Claude executed her immediately.She finally realized the person in front of her is Claude de Alger Obelia.
"Ahh.......was it a dancer of Siodonna?You look like that wench"
For no reason, someone tried to punch Claude badly, and it's not only Athanasia this time.
'What's this guy doing here?! I'm only five, not nine!'
In the novel called 'Lovely Princess', she was supposed to meet him when her age reached nine. Unfortunately, she accidentally met him 4 years earlier. Not only that, there's also non-existed character that revealed to be his half-brother.
"Well...it doesn't matter where she came from"
"Your majesty......"Felix called out Claude with polite and nervous in his voice.
"And I think I remember what that wench named you"Claude with a smile with no warmth on it."I believe your name is Athanasia, isn't it?You have that kind of name but unfortunately, we already have an heir to my throne. I still remember you were still a bug who couldn't even lift its head."
Meanwhile, Anastasius recalled the qualifications to be the heir to the throne and Emperor.
'In the Obelian Empire, a name related to immortality is only permitted to an official heir to the throne and is only granted by the emperor himself.However, my name with Claude are kinda different.'
Anastasius in the Greek language means resurrection, while Claude's name itself means 'The one who limps'
'Since Claude wasn't in the first line to the throne and his mother was a commoner, he's being abused by the previous Empress and neglected by Anastacius'
Anastasius still could remember the panel where he planned to kill Athanasia, but he spared her life because it reminds him of Diana.
"You've grown a lot"Claude said before kneeling in front of his daughter.
And then, something fell to the ground, making a sound that could turned their attention towards that thing. It was revealed to be another princess' bag.
'S-Shoot!It's my number 7 and my number 8 bags of riches!'
Claude with others glanced at the bag that fell beside Claude's foot. Then, he returned his attention to his daughter, who sweating profusely for some reason. Athanasia's expression looked like she could cry at any moment.
Both of his hands reached her body as he lifted her up, earning confusion from the crimson duo, while Anastasius calmly studied the situation while trying to remember the chapter.
Athanasia's shocked expression clearly being showed in front of them.
"You're heavy"Claude said without thinking for a second time.
Hearing that, her body was frozen in his embrace while her mind was in a mess. She screamed in her mind, still shock by what the emperor said about her.
'W-What are you-'
Before she could finish her thought, Claude said something else that made her more shocked.
"You have really chubby cheeks, but I didn't expect you to be this heavy."Claude added.
'Chubby?! Heavy?!'
'Atleast that's what made her cuter'Anastasius thought at himself, rolling his eyes in annoyance made Yujerian noticed about it.
'I mean, after neglected me all this time, why are you talking about me?! You're a cold-hearted bastard! You're a dirtbag who only loves Jennette and doesn't consider Athanasia as your daughter!'Athanasia screamed in her mind.
Claude's blue eyes glared back at her. "Now, what are you doing at my palace?"
'MY PALACE?!'
Before Claude could continue his conversation with her, he could feel someone pulled his robe. It turned out to be Anastasius seriously and calmly at the same time, trying not to make her afraid of him. His blue eyes staring at his father.
"She's just a child, father. You're scaring her with your mouth and your glare. Can you put her down, so she could talk or something?"Anastasius said while Athanasia held her sigh after being rescued by a 'non-existed character' in the novel.
Blinking his eyes for a second, Claude put her down before Anastasius walked towards his half-sister as he patted her head. After thinking for a while, Claude widened his eyes after figured why Anastasius made a sudden move.
He still remembered Diana, along with Felix.
"Well, we should have some tea with my half-sister, right?"Anastasius said as he motioned his finger at Felix."Carry her to the palace."
Again, the crimson duo glanced at each other with confusion, later obeyed his order as Felix carried Athanasia with Yujerian on his side.
He finally made his first move after living in the manhwa for five years.

Author note: So, it's been a while since I update this book. I apologize for not update it earlier because I lack some motivation to write this book.
So, I had made my decision. Our Crown Prince in this story would have a love interest, and it would be a woman.
Why? Because all of Who Made Me A Princess fanfictions I had ever read would contain the BL genre, which made me annoyed. I don't mind reading BL, but I couldn't find any normal WMMAP stories at all. I want to make this book normal as possible, so the fandoms would be able to read it.
Fun fact! The love interest would be a villainess from other manhwa stories, so the one who can guess the character, I will update another chapter tomorrow!
