Athaniel's POV

While they were shouting at each other, I just continued to hide behind a bush, but while I knew that the shouting wasn't directed at me...

I just can't continue to listen to them shouting , o I sat down and covered my ears with my hands, which muffled out the shouting a bit, I felt tears tears in my eyes as I curled into a ball, I just sat there crying, hoping that they wouldn't see me

I just can't continue to listen to them shouting , o I sat down and covered my ears with my hands, which muffled out the shouting a bit, I felt tears tears in my eyes as I curled into a ball, I just sat there crying, hoping that they wouldn't see me

"Why...Why would they fight now? It's my Birthday for God's sake! All I want is to spend time with you guys without all this fighting... We don't even have much time left together, oh gosh I'm being influenced by my age changing back to three, and now I'm acting more like a child"

I just sat there not knowing what to do, when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turn to look at who it was, only to see it was Felix

"It's ok Your Highness, don't cry I will protect you..." He said as he hugged me

I hugged him back and just continued to cry on his shoulder, and he just patted my back until I stopped crying

"This is embarrassing... Now how do I get out of this mess, I have Felix comforting me while I cry, while Claude and Diana are probably freaking out that the two of us disappeared..." I thought

When I finally stopped crying a few minutes later, I tried to stand up, but my legs grew weak so I started to fall down, I closed my eyes knowing I would fall down

But it never happened so I opened my eyes, and saw that Felix catched me, and put me down

"Are you okay Your Highness?" He said as he fussed over me

"I'm alright! Thanks Felix!" I smiled at him, while he just sighed at me

"You've got to be careful Your Highness! I would be in big trouble if something happens to you" he said grabbing my hand , and leaded me to where my Parents were, but while we were walked there I started thinking...

'I-is it my fault that they're like this? Or was it like this originally? Wouldn't me being here change a lot of the Wmmap timeline? Athanasia was supposed to be the crown princess, does that mean I'll be the future Emperor? That's quite a lot of work... "

"Okay... Felix?" He then turned to look at me

"Yes Your Highness?"

"Is... Is it my fault their fighting? Should I have not wanted a sister? Then if I do that will they stop fighting?" I said as I looked at Felix sadly

"No! Of course it isn't your fault, His Majesty and Lady Diana will always be there for you" he said comforting me

'wha- isn't that special treatment.... Maybe I should test it out... just maybe'

"Really? Then why are they still fighting even though it is my birthday?"

"It's just... that His Majesty is very concerned about the health of Lady Diana"

'Is that so Felix? Then why was he ignoring her until now, Felix I know I look young but like... Do you have to lie so much to a kid?'

"Then why isn't he caring about me? Doesn't he know that I was also there? Or am I not important to him anymore..." I said as I sat up from my position

"Your Highness he does care about you...."

"It's fine!" I said while Felix help me stand up cause my legs were getting numb from sitting here for to long, so I had a hard time walking

'Ouch... I don't think I've sat here for too long... probably because I'm still a kid, gosh darn it...'

Apparently Felix had also noticed it, so as we were walking back, he asked me if I wanted to be carried back, which surprised me cause I didn't think he noticed me having a hard time walking

"Y-yes... thank you Felix!" I beamed at him, my feet were numb from squatting there for too long...

"Of course Your Highness" Felix said as he carried me back to the venue of the party AKA where all the food is

I blushed when I heard my stomach growling, while Felix chuckled at me

"Looks like Your Highness is still hungry, we better hurry back we don't want you to starve do we?"

"Erm... Yes!" I replied as I hid my red face on his shoulder

As we were heading back we heard my... Parents calling for me, I turned my head to look for them and saw they were right across us, and as soon as they saw me they started running towards us

"Athaniel There you are! Do you know how much you worried me disappearing of like that?!?" Diana Said fussing over me as she carried me into her arms stealing me away from Felix, while Felix was just standing there Awkwardly

'...'

'why couldn't I have just stayed with Felix... I'm being suffocated by hugs and her kisses... But it does feel nice being worried over like this, unlike back there"

"I'msorrywescaredyoupleasedontbemadatusweresorrywedidntmeanitwewontsaythingslikethatagain-"

After she was done fussing over me, I turned to look at Claude who was just Glared slightly at me which made me flinch, which made his eyes soften

"Athaniel"

"Y-yes Papa?" I replied

"I'm sorry" He said

'What the... Did he just apologize???'

I was so shocked I blurted out a "Huh?"

I tilted my head a bit, looking very confused as to what just happened. But he just continued

"It was my fault for scaring you, I should have thought about you before I done that, and it was even on your birthday, so I'm sorry." He said

I just shook my head as I just can't wrap my head around this, and just said

"It's ok Papa! Just make sure this doesn't happen again ok?" I said looking at him, He smiled softly

"Okay, it won't happen ever again" He Replied

'just to make sure'

"Promise?" I said lifting my pinky finger

"I Promise" He said making his pinky wrap around mine

The other two just smiled softly at this

"Okay! How about we finish the birthday party and eat some cake!" Diana said dragging the both of us to the table

'I am hungry... Why not? It is my birthday party after all'

"Okay Race you!" I said running quickly to the table to be the first one there, while everyone else just played along fully knowing they can beat him if they wanted to but decided against it at seeing his cute face so happy

We just quietly ate while enjoying the warm atmosphere we had for now

Not knowing there was another person watching us a bit farther away hiding they're presence

"Happy Birthday my dear nephew..."

'I hope you take care of Claude, and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid like me...'

He then just sat there for a while before teleporting to the Birthday Boys room and placed a gift on his bed, and then disappeared to who knows where
