Athanasia, a seven year old genius who already finished a decent amount of major philosophy books, are bored. Ever since her father, who left Obelia for a while because of some matters (Although, Athanasia already figured that it was war where he went to but it'll be just a one-sided massacre because he's a real psycho) leaving Felix with her. Felix still remembered how the princess clinged to Claude really tight for him not to go. Of course, Claude has to go and promised Athanasia to bring her gifts, which made Athanasia nod. Athanasia sighed as she just went to the place where she's really bored.

The kitchen!

Yes, that's right. It's the kitchen! Ever since Athanasia had a cavity, which was really weird because she thoroughly brushes her teeth, all her nannies and maids can't recklessly give her chocolate. Head Maid Lily told them so. And Lily is scary when she's mad, and Athanasia didn't want that.

'Lily is such a mother to me. I really love Lily but sometimes, i hate it when she's kind of overprotective. But it's for my sake anyway, so i'll leave her be.' Athanasia thought as she quietly skipped through the empty hallways of the Emerald Palace. When she reached the kitchen, she went to where they store chocolates. Athanasia reached for the basket, but only to be found empty.

'I'm low on chocolates..' Athanasia thought as she went out of the kitchen. 'Papa's not here too. No one will give me chocolates.' Athanasia silently sobbed as she went outside. There, she noticed a black little beast roaming around her rose garden slowly. 'Ooh. That little guy is cute! I wanna pet it.'

Athanasia ran over to the unknown beast as it started running too. "Hey, little guy! Wait up. I just wanna pet you!!" she yelled as she ran even faster, catching the little beast. Or not..

"Oww! Hey!" Lucas, who were just sleeping at the grassy grounds, caught a holy beast. He totally didn't expect someone to grab his hair like that.

Athanasia was startled as she looked at the little beast. "Oh, sorry! I didn't know someone was here." Athanasia apologized as she looked at the Lucas. "Is he yours?"

"Isn't it yours?" Lucas retorted as he stared at Blackie. Yes, Athanasia named him or her, Blackie. And she wanted to pet Blackie.

'But, how is it mine? And how did you get in here?' Athanasia thought as she reached for Blackie, only to be softly pushed by Lucas. "Hey! You said Blackie is mine!" Athanasia grumbled as she still reached for Blackie.

"Yes, but he's mine now."

"You can't just decide for yourself."

"I can. And i will. Finder's keepers."

Athanasia pouted as she started hitting the black-haired man. "You! I hate you! You said Blackie is mine. You're a jerk!" Athanasia yelled in frustration as she just hit Lucas.

On the other hand, Lucas, who haven't been hit before by anyone at all, was shock. He was befaddled by the little girl. She was just like that girl. He would've have that girl if his other self didn't come for her. 'I thought this princess is gloomy.. But how is she this bold now? Is she back somehow?' Lucas thought.

"Hey, stop that. I won't eat your Blackie now." Lucas said, making Athanasia flinched in fright as he threw Blackie at Athanasia's arms. "Stop hitting me."

"Ea-Eat..? You were going to eat Blackie?" Athanasia quietly asked as she hugged Blackie tightly. Blackie was whimpering in fear too. Both of them have the same expression at their faces.

Lucas was amused. He smirked at the little princess. "Yep. But i'm feeling nice so i'm letting 'Blackie' go."

'This guy is a creep.' Athanasia looked at him as if her eyes were empty as the word 'creep' with blinding light and thumbs down appeared at his back. "Oh.." was the only thing that left her mouth.

"Why are you looking at me as if i was a creep?" Lucas questioned as Athanasia just smiled and looked away. Lucas groaned as he just rolled his eyes at the little princess' antics. Although, he is amused. "Whatever. Who are you anyway?" he asked once again, to make sure not to raise suspiscions.

Athanasia who looked away, gazed at Lucas once again as she furrowed her eyebrows. 'That's weird..' "Who are you first? I can't just tell my name to someone."

"Hmm.. I'm Lucas."

Athanasia smiled, like a star the shined brightly at the dark skies. "Then i'm Athanasia de Alger Obelia."

"Are you the daughter of Aeternitas?"

"What? Aeternitas was dead hundreds of years ago." Athanasia retorted as she turned around with Blackie on her arms. "Well, goodbye now, Sir Lucas! I hope we don't meet again."

"Hnm." was the only thing that Athanasia heard. And that, Lucas was gone.

As if i'd let you go, princess. Was what Lucas meant.

Felix, on the other hand, were having a hard time finding the princess. Lilian was shocked that the princess aren't in bed and to the kitchen so they have made a search party. Everyone at the Emerald Palace was scared. Especially for the princess. But they found her though, holding a black beast at her arms.
