Tia was lost for words she didn't know what to say but she still kept her poker face
"&What are you talking about your majesty I don't carry the imperial family mana I think your having hallucinations" she said claude took his sword out and pointed it at her neck tia remained calmed and collected
"If I were you I'll take that's sword out my father placed a lot of dangerous protection spells on me"
Claude still kept his position he needed to know the answer was his daughter still alive
"Just tell me is my daughter still alive" he asked tia gave him a confused look
"Your majesty princess Jeannette's head is currently at the gates getting gouged out by a bunch of kids including my brother" tia smiled at him claude gritted his teeth before shoving his sword at her neck once again tia remained unfazed even rolling her eyes, she threw the sword away across the room with her mana
"You and I both know that wench isn't my daughter there's no way she could be able to have kids when she's made up of black magic, I have only one child and that is my lovely daughter athanasia" Claude growled at her tia glared at him
"How ironic you say that when you said yourself you never considered her as your real daughter when she was still alive" she growled back at him, Claude looked at her confused
"What do you mean still alive I don't have any other children other than athanasia, so just admit it athanasia is alive and pregnant, you came to me 8 years ago searching for me that's why you had blue eyes till you changed it to red"
"Is black magic still on you or what Don't you remember your majesty twenty years ago you ordered for her execution she was hanged and everyone saw her body even you, deep down you knew she didn't poisoned Jeannette but you wanted to get rid of her that bad so ordered for her execution had a huge celebration about it and let people celebrate her death for 10 years and didn't care till after 20 years" tia growled at him pushing him away from her claude back away by each words of attack
"You abandoned her" tia said her anger rising by the minute, "you let her get looked down upon by everyone including nobles, she did everything to please you she worked hard every day just to be noticed by you only for a mere chimera you knew wasn't yours to begin with to get your attention just like that" she continued claude ended up falling to his furniture looking down in shame with tears weld up in his eyes
"You were never a father to her since she was born and yet here you are claiming to be your daughter after twenty years and 18 years of neglect, well NEWS FLASH OLD MAN SHES DEAD AND NEVER COMING BACK" tia breathe she turned around catching her breath and cooling down she finally spilled all the resentment she had
"Princess athanasia died twenty years ago your majesty, she died pathetically on that stage and left the world as a traitor to the obelian family" she said she then turned around letting her real blue jewel eyes show remembering what her mother wrote to her a couple of hours ago
Dear tia,
I heard you fix his majesty and that he remembers me and my mother, im so proud of you my dear perfect daughter you saved a lot of people from tyranny and I'm glad to be your mother
Ps. I don't mind if you tell him about us it's your decision ;)
from, mama
"But" she said claude looked up and was in disbelief
"Diana's daughter was reborn that day as nasia valentine she got married and lived her life freely and had her children and I am one of those children, pleasure to meet you grandfather" she gave him a sly smile
Claude heart stopped and was struggling to breathe as tears falls from his eyes, his and Diana's child the product of their love is still alive and well, relief washed over him knowing that his daughter is still alive with her own set of kids one of them the reason why he remembers them but sadness started to wash over him his daughter is alive and wants nothing to do with him not that he could blame her he treated her horribly and broke her beyond repair now one of his grandchildren having to come and fix all of his mistakes
"What should I do to get your forgiveness" he asked quietly, tia sighed looking away from the pathetic man
"Look you never did anything to me for you to ask for my forgiveness to be honest you fulfilled a childhood dream of mine which was having a grandfather, the only person who you should be apologize mercifully is my mother the one who you cause pain for 18 years"
"Will she forgive me" claude asked he already knows the answer athanasia will never forgive him and he deserves it
"I don't know it's her decision if she forgives you then I have no problem adding you into my life but if she doesn't then your majesty you have to let her go" tia said sitting down then sat in silence till tia gave him one last glare with her own tears falling down her face, she felt hurt remembering all the pain her mother felt, her mother who was angel that was sent from grace went through so much pain because of the man who's right in front of her because of his own grief, she wants her mother to sit right next to her and watch him suffer thankfully she recorded this conversation so she could watch how he's suffering and get the satisfactory from his suffering, she hopes her mother never forgives him but knowing her and how kind she is she'll most likely will if she ever sees him again
"You know what you did was so fucked up, my mother didn't deserve that she deserved a happy life and you didn't do that, she never asked to be born and if you were strong enough she would've had a happy life and not live in hiding, maybe in a different universe all of this would've change maybe you and mom would have a good relationship we all could've been a big happy family" she said getting up
"I have to leave now your majesty" she said wiping her tears, Claude got up and tried to reach her
"Please don't go don't leave" his voiced cracked tears falling out
"Goodbye grandfather" with that she teleported away claude fell to his knees and began crying his heart out, he cried for Diana he cried for athanasia and he cried for his grandchildren
"Your majesty I'm here to re- Claude" felix said coming in seeing Claude on his knees sobbing saying diana, athanasia, and Tia's name, felix quickly went up to him as much as he is mad at his majesty he is still his childhood friend his bossom brother the same traumatized kid he grew up with
"Felix don't leave me just like them please" his voices cracked again, Felix quickly hugged him which Claude accepted
"It's okay claude I'm here I won't leave I promise" Felix said he was planning on resigning but seeing him like this he is thinking about taking it back
"I'm a terrible monster I killed my own daughter i hurt her"
Felix stayed quiet letting him continue talking
"How do I beg for her forgiveness now she hates me they all do"
Claude please rest we'll talk about this later
