I was lying on my bed as punishment for lying to dad.
After the scene happened that day, dad found the bags of riches, Athy hide that day and me who is still a kid he came up to me and asked me if it's mine or not

-FlashBack-

*Knock*Knock*

"Pardon me Your Highness, but His Majesty is requesting for your presence..." A low yet gentle voice of a man can be heard in my door, it's probably dad's personal knight sir Felix...

"Ok, tell him i'll be there!" I shout so he can hear me i didn't have time to change so i just still wore my Fashionable Vintage Jasmine dress with a casual black capelet on it

I just design my hair into a ponytail tied into a blue ribbon

-

"Father, your calling for me...?" I ask as i bowed at him

"Yes, i wanna ask something" he said as he motioned me to sit from one of his office chair

"By any chance have you wandering outside the palace?"

Why would he asked that, of course i'm always wandering outside

"Yes, strolling outside in the palace is always been my everyday routine to exercise myself" i responded as Father tilt his head a few times

"I see so that explains the footprints"

Footprints? What does he mean by that?

"Footprints?" I tilt my head in a questioning manner

"Yes, it seems that there are a lot of footprints near the tree on your room..."

Wait, don't tell me

"And i also find this bags full of jewelry and riches, mind to explain?"

Oh shoot he found Athy's treasure! What should i do, i mean i can create an excuse to this but i hate lying to dad!

"Well umm.... I'm afraid i can't guarantee to answer that possible question..." I mumble, as i drink the tea with my cold and expressionless face

It sent shivers to Claude's spine but he paid no mind to it

"Are you saying, you don't want to say even i'm your dad?"

I nod

"Then, i must say your grounded for weeks"

-end of flashback-

"A~h~" now i can't go outside Athy must be probably wondering where i went...

🍡

And after that i ran out of Ruby Palace a few more times, once every few days so i won't get caught

To be honest i'm so happy with how i'm living right now i want to stay like this forever, i'm even wondering if Sister is thinking of Claude or is she even aware of him, and i'm thinking if Claude knew about her existence i should ask her if she comes on the ruby palace

Within this walls lives a ticking time bomb named Claude

So these pretty things are my back up, so to say back up for that dreaded day

***

It was silent aside from my footsteps 'not a soul to be seen as usual' i thought to myself 'i won't head that way today...'
