Athanasia and Claude made eye contact. Their jewel eyes staring at each other. The princess doesn't know what to do now. Because of her, the Emperor has woken up from his nap.

Her arms that she raised earlier slowly come down, patting Claude's chest slowly.

"Sleep tight..."The princess started to sing, hoping that she would survive. 'What am I doing?'

Her lovely voice made Claude stunned for a second. He admitted in his mind that his daughter has a beautiful voice.

"The moon smiles down to you"Athanasia continued to sing. "Goodbye to the day"

"The baby smiles at the stars too. Tomorrow will bring a bright morrow"

"So dream a petty dream and sleep tight, my child"Athanasia finished with a smile, but her expression said otherwise. Luckily, her terrified expression being unnoticed by a person in front of her.

She even wonder what kind of face she made.

"What was that song?"Claude questioned his daughter after hearing that song out of nowhere. His question made Athanasia relaxed for a bit.

"A song to say 'bye-bye' to the bad dreams!"Athanasia answered with a joyous smile plastered over her mouth.

'This dude doesn't even know lullaby? Everyone in this Empire has heard it'The princess thought while eyeing the emperor before continued.

"Good morning, papa!"She greeted him, wearing her smile once again.

Claude looked away from her, staring fixedly outside. "...It's not morning"His body slowly leave the sofa as he stood up.

"Then, good evening!"

"Did Felix send you in? And where's Anastasius? He should be here right now"Claude asked, but the princess didn't answer his question.

With a sigh that escaped from his lips, he ran his finger through his hair. While standing up, his torso was exposed, causing Athanasia to cover her jewel blue eyes in embarrassment.

The emperor couldn't help but scratched his head, feeling tired. Even a nap doesn't recharge his energy.

"I should tell them to prepare our dinner here"He muttered as Athanasia just averted her gaze from her father.

However, a single knock from the door caused two of them shifted their gaze. Of course, they knew the person who knocked on the door.

"Come in"An orotund voice that came from Claude was enough to be heard on outside.

The door opened, revealed to be a Crown Prince. The princess's eyes went round, recalling the incident earlier that made the emperor awoke from his nap.

The corner of Claude's mouth quirked up. Seeing Anastasius amused him greatly.

"You're here"Claude broke the silence between them as the Crown Prince eyed his father with curiosity. A smirk on his face doesn't disappear at all since he arrived.

'Bitch, I'm not gay'Anastasius couldn't help but feel disgusted by his own thought.

The Crown Prince slowly nodded his head, agreeing with his father.

"We shall eat right now"

The imperial family member sat in the dining room with tons of food on the table. Athanasia, who felt uncomfortable, couldn't help but observe the person beside her.

A boy with short, straight, and messy blonde hair due to the training earlier neatly parted to the right in a fringe over his eyes, with the left side slicked back. With his jewel blue eyes that he inherited from his father, it's perfect to describe the royal member in the Obelian Empire.
