I'm recently walking around the garden after being "tortured" by Felix, I swear it's been a week since I've been outside
The smell of the breeze is wonderful as my hair flutter in the wind. everything has been peaceful lately which was kind of worrying...
I was busy daydreaming until a familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts
"My Prince! I have great new for you!" Felix approached me with his smile brighter than usual
"You'll be getting a tutor soon! it was hard convincing his Majesty but I somehow did it" He wiped his imaginary sweat as he gave me a proud look
"W-wait! Really!?" I couldn't hold my excitement as I've always been interested in studying but didn't got the chance due to a certain...something ugh!
"Of course My Prince! The princesss currently have an Etiquette teacher which was requested by his Majesty" Felix gave me a grin as he was wagging his imaginary tail, I don't know how but I somehow could see him as if he was a puppy
We are currently walking to my supposedly called "Study room". Felix opened the door to the sight of books everywhere, a desk with papers on top a balcony showing an incredible scenery as the breeze slowly flutter the hair of a certain person.
"Blessings and Glory upon the prince of the Obelian empire" A male probably older than Felix gave me a bow as he smiled
"Shall we get started your highness?" as he pointed towards the desk
My eyes light up as Felix bowed and left me and the tutor alone. I was truly happy to be able to study
-Few minutes later-
*sniff* *sniff*
...
*WHAAAAAAAAA*
The man immediately started crying as he immediately went rushing out of the room in an unhuman speed.
I stood there shocked for a few seconds before realising what happened
"Wha- Wait!? Why was he crying!?" I was so confused as I saw his figure dissappear
Felix Immediately barged into the room looking confused on what happened
We both stared at eachother for a few minutes before he snapped out of his thoughts first and bowed
"I'll inform this situation to His Majesty as we find another tutor" Felix left leaving me here, Confused like really Confused
_________________________________________
Felix's POV
As I was returning to His Majesty's Chambers, I was startle by a loud voice of a crying man? I immediately turned to see the tutor running as he cried loudly through the halls
I run as fast as I could to the prince to only see him standing there all Confused, We we're both Confused before I decided I needed to inform his Majesty about the situation
"Your Majesty, It's me" I slowly enter the room as he told me to enter
"Spill it" His Majesty gave me glare as I immediately shrunk size
"The Prince's tutor has run away Your Majesty" He looked at me confused before he finally spoke
"Wasn't That man here only for a few minutes?" He put down his pen as he placed his hand on his desk while crossing his legs
"Y-yes your Majesty" I answered hesitantly as I was also confused
"Find Him a new tutor immediately" He let out a loud sigh before returning to his paper works
"Blessings and Glory the sun of the Obelian empire" I bowed as I slowly left
..
...
....!
It's been a week already and all of the tutor has either fainted, run away or cried. I tried finding scholars and even teachers of prestigious schools but all ended up in the same faith
Every time I asked the prince on what was happening, he gave me a confused look telling me he didn't know what happened
I am currently waiting infront of The Prince's "study room" as he was with another tutor...Not even a few minutes have past I suddenly heard crying as the tutor barged out of the room
I immediately grabbed him as we approached His Majesty's Chambers. He didn't even noticed we we're infront of His Majesty before he suddenly spoke
"Mr.Scholar don't you find it rude to not greet the emperor?" His Majesty said while glaring daggers at him
"I-I YOUR MAJESTY!? Blessings and Glory *hiccup* upon the sun of the *hiccup* Obelian empire" He was holding his tears as he bowed his head
"Did the prince beat you up to make you in this state?" His Majesty asked the Scholar while taking a sip of his tea
"wha- No No No Your Majesty! The prince didn't do anything like that!" He started panicking as he waved both of his hands in the air
"I- WAAAAAAA IT'S JUST I FEEL USELESS! WAAAAA WHENEVER I TRY TO TEACH THE PRINCE HE TEACHES ME INSTEAD WAAAAAA! HE'S A PRODIGY, A GENIUS! WAAAAA" he started crying as his voice was louder than ever
I stood there shocked, I mean I'm proud that he is a genius but he's even more smarter than the most prestigious scholars!? I knew it! My nephew really did got his smarts from me
"Felix I know what you are thinking and no, just bring this man out immediately" He pinch the bridge of his nose as he slightly frowned
I immediately took the man out as he started to hug me, He was crying even more while saying "I need to study more, I can't let a child beat me" Ugh! Sir Just get off me already!

Amel's POV
*Sigh* now I'm currently doing paper works that's supposed to be for the emperor! I don't even know how I got here!
"*Knock* Prince It's me" Felix slowly came in with his usual bright smile
"How about a break my Prince? The princess and His Majesty are currently having tea in the garden" He looked at me hoping for me to join
Ugh! I want to say no- but that look! I can't, I can't... Sigh
"Shall we Felix?" I looked at him as I stood up from my desk with a pile of paper works that was literally taller than me
We arrived as I saw Athy and His Majesty in the garden. They immediately noticed my presence, His Majesty gave me a glare as usual while the princess looked at me smiling brightly
"Greetings Your Majesty" I gave a slight bow as I sat next to Athy
"Morning brother!~" She gave me her usual bright smile that pierced through my heart
"Morning my little Jewel!~" I gave her a smile as she exaggeratedly cleanced her heart
"Papa and Brother was in my dream yesterday!" She smiled as she looked at us
"A dream?" I asked
"Athy was with Papa, brother, Lily and and Felix and we went to pick the stars and the moon and had fun!" She happily swing both of her feet of the table
"That's a wierd dream"
"That's a particular dream"
Me and his Majesty said as Athy stared at us
"Athy was so Happy Athy got to play with papa and Brother!" She happily smiled as the maids stared at as with wide eyes
I was slowly dozing off probably due to the amount of paper work I have been doing continuously
"Athy wants what Papa is having!" She pout as stared at the tea his Majesty is holding
I somehow was also interested, I think Felix noticed it as he poured me and Athy some tea
I picked it up and as I smelled it, It was a familiar scent, I slowly drink as I remember the nostalgic taste. It was Lippe tea
"It feels like flowers are blooming inside Athy's mouth" She said as she smiled happily
I didn't notice the intense atmosphere as I suddenly burst out laughing. They all looked at me as a try to gain my composure
"Why is brother laughing?" Athy asked as she tilted her head side ways, her round eyes blooming with curiosity
"It's just I have a friend, I call her Miss fairy and she said the Exact same thing..." I unconsciously smiled while staring at the tea
I didn't notice the reactions of both His Majesty and Felix as they both stared at me with wide eyes
I would prefer Mistic tea over Lippe tea, it wasn't as sweet as lippe tea but more on the refreshing side it was a commoners tea that you can usually find anywhere but Miss Fairy would always tell me how much she loved Lippe tea and sometimes "force" me to drink it with her
I was lost in my thoughts until I heard a certain name..
"Lady Diana also Enjoyed it."It feels like flowers blooming in my mouth she said" Felix said as he smiled
wha- does he know her? wait no- probably another Diana. I quickly excused myself as I felt a bit uncomfortable by the atmosphere
_________________________________________
After an entire day of doing paper work I have finally left that hell hole (hehe that's what I call it) I am currently walking to my personal library, I don't even know how Felix convinced his Majesty about this, but I won't complain I'm actually quite happy
As I slowly unlock the door with the keys his Majesty gave me. The scent of books and ink makes me feel relaxed as the wind flutter through my hair
I saw an unfamiliar figure reading a book, His black hair and eyes as well as his tall figure stood out as the sun bathed him in it's sunlight, the sound of the pages flipping are the only thing you can hear.
I walked past the man to get one of the books I wanted to read, I couldn't reach it as it was quite high. I tried to tip toes and even jump but I still couldn't reach
The man grabbed the book with ease, I swear I'm jealous of his height as he gave me the book with a slight smirk on his face
"Thank you sir" I bowed as I sat on the desk and quietly read my book
He looked shocked and confused for a few seconds before he approached me.He placed his book on one of the chairs as he put his hand on my desk and looked me in my eyes
*Cough* He raised an eyebrow while looking down at me on my seat
I looked confused on why was he acting like that, then realisation suddenly hit me
"Oh" I accidentally blurted. He looked at me with an evil smile? waiting for me to finish the rest of my speech
"Once you are done reading the book Mister please put it back at the shelf, since no one takes care of this place it'll be quite troublesome" I said as I quickly returned to reading my book
He got quite pissed as he suddenly grabbed my neck as he glared at me. His memories started going through my mind as he tightens his grip
"Don't you care that there's someone here who could kill you" He said as he quickly let me go making me to catch my breath
"Oh I don't mind visitors" I said as I smirked at him
He stared at me looking amused as he grab a chair and sit right infront of me, crossed legs as he place his hand on his leg while smirking at me. We stayed silent for a few minutes before I decided to speak
"I've been planning something to help the farmers with their agriculture but looks like I'll have to change it" I said while looking a bit "down"
"Oh, mind telling me what is this great idea all about" he stared at me giving me a smirk
"I've read about this thing called "Decomposing" It turns out to be quite good to be use for fertiliser. You'll mostly use rotten fruit or vegetables, food and sometimes dead animals." I said while he was wondering where am
I going with this
"Honestly I would've started sharing this knowledge to farmers but... it looks like I've made a mistake" I looked down on the ground with a sad expression
"What do you mean mistake?" The man looked even more confused but curious at the same time
"I wasn't aware that dead animals rise up from the ground." I gave him a smirk as I leaned onto my chair, crossing my legs as I stare at his shocked face. It was honestly quite a view
"How- You know I could kill you right now?" His eyes had a hint of red in them, his awra changed into a completely different person
" My My don't you find it annoying being in the same body as that brat?...Aeternitas" I looked at him with a fed up expression
He started laughing for a while then stopped to look at me in the eye
"How interesting.. I like you kid, But seriously at least someone knows my pain" He rolled his eyes while I started laughing
"Okay first stop both of you, second I'm not a brat" Anastacius gave me a seriously look
"Hahaha I'm sorry uncle" I said while smiling at him
I don't know why but he got flustered all of a sudden, I think because I called him uncle? but for some reason even though I know who he is and this is my first time meeting him, I felt comfortable it's different from when I met Felix or Athy
We've been talking for hours and I asked help from him on how to control my abilities (memories) I know I'm not supposed to anyone but I couldn't help it when it comes to uncle
I brought some tea and some snacks for us to enjoy. I poured him a cup as he was explaining to me how to control my abilities
we both stop for a minute picked up the tea, smelled it as we both slowly drink it.
"Feels like snowflakes in a cold breeze bathing me in sunlight"
We both stared at eachother for a minute before we laughed
"Isn't that a wierd description for tea?" I laughed as I looked at him
"You also said it! and I thought you'll like Lippe tea like Claude" He said while rolling his eyes at me
"It feels like spring but I prefer winter"
We both burst out laughing, I never thought that drinking tea would be this fun. It's funny how we are so similar and sometimes say the exact words
"I swear kid if I could only kidnapped you and take you away from Claude I'll do it" He looked a bit serious but still had a light atmosphere
"I was also kidnapped when I was brought here" He gave me a "seriously" look before laughing
"Oh, Thank you uncle I'll come back tomorrow" I smiled as I quickly ran out of the library
"*sigh* I didn't even agree to this" He whispered but it was loud enough for me to hear him
This is definitely one of the best days of my life!
I started visiting Uncle almost everyday but it was hard as I had to do some paper works but for some reason Felix started acting different towards me.. and not only Felix but the maids as well...I had to wear a magic artifact to cover my eyes it was the same one I had in the past... It's most likely to not let anyone know about how I look like
I'm known as a scholar who helps his Majesty with the documents of the empire and dealing with the nobles. Many Nobles despite me at first because there were some files that had Knowledge from the prince but he "Wasn't present" and they thought why should they listen to an unknown prince
but eventually they started to get interested and started to accept with the Prince's way of thinking. I explain to them about "the prince's" plans while they use me to bring their thoughts to the "Prince"
Anastacius' POV
That kid haven't come today... wait why am I even waiting for him in the first place! Amel de Alger Obelia my nephew... He was supposed to be my enemy since his existence is a threat to me but...I somehow got attached to him..!? no no I'm not attached! I'm just using him! yeah! There's no way!...right?
*sigh* It's getting quite late he'll probably won't come today, I better just leave...
..
...
....
I know I told myself to leave but...Why am I in the balcony of the Kid's office!?
*Sigh* my body moved on my own, The kid is probably asleep by now
I slowly took a peaked inside to see if the kid was sleeping but to my surprise he was awake and doing tall piles of paper works and their almost everywhere!
Is this even a Kid's work in the first place!? I don't know why but my chest started to sting and I felt furious. I just somehow only want to see him happily reading his books enjoying his childhood not doing something like this
*drip*
I saw blood dripping down from his nose as he slowly wipe it with his sleeve. he immediately stood up which startle me
"Oh...WAIT I FORGOT ABOUT UNCLE!" He screamed as he was about to run out but due to him feeling weak he
almost fell over
Luckily I caught him before he hit his head on the floor. He looked afraid at first before calming down once he realised it's me
He's been like this in the past, He was Afraid of physical contact I saw how he looked when others almost touched him but for some reason he was comfortable with me...which I was happy about..
"Oh! Uncle what are you doing here!?" He immediately stood up while giving me a bright smile
"Amel you better get some rest, you look dead right now" He looked at me
for a few seconds then smiled
"I'm glad to know you're worried about me Aetarnithas!" He said while grinning
I swear he could tell between me and Aeternitas apart but I've noticed Aeternitas did had a soft spot towards the kid
I lift him up which startle him at first and put him down on the bed besides his desk. he stared at me for a few seconds before panicking
"I-i Uncle!? what are you doing" He immediately stood up before I lay him again on the bed
"I can't sleep yet! I still have to see if I made a mistake anywhere!" I glared at him which made him quiet as he slowly looked at the ground
"Okay kid, you're clearly not in right state" He was about to argue before I lay next to him and hugged him so he
won't escape
"I-i Uncle what are you doing!?" He was all embarrassed as he tried to escape from my grip.
"You are sleeping and this is final! I won't move from here until you get a proper rest! he tried to argue but eventually got exhausted and fell asleep
I don't know why but whenever I see him, I just want to protect him..like a father wanting to protect his child..WAIT! Did I just admitted that I saw him as my son!? *sigh* maybe I'm losing my mind after all
He snuggle into my arm as I played with his white locks it was so soft and white it reminded me of the moonlight..
it somehow was a nostalgic feeling as I eventually fell asleep from the warmth I felt...a warmth that I thought I had lost forever..
"Goodnight my little moonlight..."
