"Ijekiel, are you in here?" Jeanette opened the door with a happy smile on her face and was shocked to see Ijekiel with Princess Athanasia.

"Eh?"

"Come inside, Jeanette." Ijekiel said and she walked inside the room closing the door behind her.

"Um... Her Highness came for a visit." He said and Jeanette looked at Athanasia.

"Good to see you, Miss Magrita." Athanasia smiled at Jeanette.

"I-I'll take your leave now." Athanasia said as she looked at Ijekiel.

"A-Are you leaving already, Princess Athanasia?" Jeanette spoke and noticed as Athanasia smiled.

"Yes, there's something that I need to do. I'll see you later, Miss Magrita." She said before she looked back at Ijekiel.

"You can come by again, if you want to talk. I'll be waiting for you, Princess." Ijekiel said.

"Thanks for the advice," she said before she disappeared.

"What did you talk about?" Jeanette asked Ijekiel who had a smile on his face.

"Just some stuff." He said, "Ah, I'm going to change my clothes now. I'll see you later."

Jeanette stepped back as the door closed and she couldn't help but wonder just when did Athanasia and Ijekiel get so close.

Athanasia teleported to Ara's room and was surprised when she found herself in Ara's old room. She looked at the completely trashed room, it was considerably dark inside but through the little sunlight from the window she could see the burn marks and the cracks around the room. The splinters and the other broken furniture was removed from the room.

Athanasia saw the place on the ground where the ground was cracked, she frowned slightly as she touched the cracks. That part of the floor seemed like it had been scorched, the rock had melted at the edges. Did Ara fight a creature that carried such a weapon that was capable of melting the rocks?

Athanasia recalled the wounds on Ara's body and she couldn't help but shudder as she realized just what would have happened if Ara hadn't pushed her and Claude out of the room. But... how could she not be scared of fighting such a creature? A demon for crying out loud!

Did she really love them that much despite losing her memories?

Athanasia lifted her head and looked at two portraits that were the only things intact in the whole room.

Athanasia felt the tears starting to spill from her eyes, as she sat there and didn't even realize when the doors opened.

"Princess?!"

She lifted her head to see Felix and Lily standing there looking at her.

"Wh-Why are you here, Princess?"

Athanasia had no words, she simply stared once at the portraits before she stood up and walked out of the room.

Felix and Lily followed Athanasia till they reached at Ara's new room and she walked inside.

Felix and Lily stopped near the door as they saw Athanasia walking inside towards the bed where Ara was sleeping.

They looked at each other before they closed the door and walked away.
Athanasia stared at Ara's sleeping face as she sat near her.

"Stupid, Ara." She muttered.

"It's not only you who loves me, I love you too, and I want you in my life till the very end... If you keep doing stuff like this then how am I supposed to be quiet?"
