Athanase POV
Right now, I was walking towards my own private library. Yes, you heard that right.
Blondie give it to me when I accidentally said that Infront of his beautiful face.
When I arrive, I saw the guards were slacking off.
'Who even hired them'
I huff while walking pass through them and when I'm at inside I were still amazed by the design.
Even though, I already went here a few times, I still can't get over the design.
"Blondie knew how to impress me" I nod.
I walk around to get a proper look of the library. While I was walking I saw a person sit on the chair.
'Hmm? Why does he look like Blondie? Oh well, imma call him raven since he has black hair'
It seems like raven read a book and I don't know what book that is.
'You know what, imma go talk to him'
"Yo~" I walk toward him while wave my hand.
Raven raise his eyes brows and he had a confused face. 'What a brat like him doing here?'
I smile innocently at him. "Mister, mister. What are you doing here?" I tilt my head.
"That should be my question and what a brat like you doing here?" He close the book.
"Hmm~? For your information, mister. This is my private library"
"Hoh? You're private library? Interesting" raven smirk.
"What's your name, brat"
'Should I give my name or not, eh- who cares, he is handsome so imma give him my name'
"Athanase"
"Well, kiddo my name is Anastacius" He fake smile.
"Cool" I walk toward him and sit at the chair beside him.
"What are you reading, raven?" I tilt my head.
"...raven..?" Raven went silent for a moment.
"Yep! Raven! That is your nicknames since I'm too lazy to say your name" I smile.
'Pfft- His reaction is the same as Blondie when I first call him that and it's kinda cute, to be honest'
'And top of that, I met with the hot former emperor is kinda crazy but who care'
"Didn't you have a better nicknames? Hmm~?" Raven give eyes close smile.
"Nope and the reason I call you that is because you have black hair"
"And if I had a blonde hair, what would you call me?"
"I would call you Blondie 2.0 since I already give someone nicknames Blondie" I smile.
Raven sigh. "Who's child is this?" He message his temple while mumble.
"My father is Claude, the hot ass emperor"
Raven almost fell of the chair when I said that then he realised I swear. "Did you just swear?"
"Yes, I do"
"Unbelievable" Raven shake his head.
"And what's made you think your safe here, Uncle?"
Anastacius glare at me. "How did you know?"
"Well, let's just say it's a hunch" I smile.
"Tsk, you're lucky, you just a kid or I would've kill you right away" Anastacius eyes had red colour in it if you look closely.
'Aetarnithas'
"Sup, Aetarnithas. How's your day?" I just casually say it as it wasn't a big deal.
Anastacius- no Aetarnithas eyes glowed. "You're not an ordinary kid aren't you?"
'Looks like Aetarnithas take control this time'
"Hmm~? What are you talking about? I'm just like another kids" I read the book that Anastacius put on the table.
"Don't fool with me, kid"
"I'm not, you're the one who fooling yourself" I flip to another page.
"Tsk, I should have ask this brat to kill you when you talk to him"
"Now now now, you shouldn't do that"
"And why is that?" He glare.
"Because I'm too beautiful to be kill by you and I rather be kill be beautifully" I flip my hair.
Aetarnithas eyes brows twitch. 'This brat has some nerves to do that'
"Hey hey, should you give the body back to my dearest uncle?"
"Why should I do that? I do not trust you, brat. You could have tell other people about me" He glare.
"You can trust me, I mean like I always keep other people secret safe and sound. Most importantly, I always forgot about it unless you told me to remember it"
Aetarnithas seem in the deep thought then he smirk. "You're interesting, brat. No wonder, Anastacius take a liking towards you" And with that he let Anastacius control his body back.
"Welcome back, dear uncle" I smile at him.
"You're quite bold as a prince, you know?"
"Hmm~"
