A day passed by.
Today's the day, Athy will meet her 'real' father again.

Lili hurrily dressed her up, after getting the permition from Anastacius.

"Lady.. you're so pretty in this dress!"
Lili squeaked and giggled.

Athy stands and look at herself in the mirror.
Bright yellow hair with flower decorations, and a pink dress on her small body. She looks perfect.

"Ahh.. I'm kinda worry too.."
Lili sighed and tried to smile. So Athy wouldn't panic.

"It's okay Lili! I will be fine!"
Athy smiled cutely and hugged Lili.

"I know. I believe in you"
Lili smiled and hugged her back.
"Let's go"
Lili said and hold Athy's tiny hands.
She leads Athy to the carriege, with Lucas who's already in it.

"Goodbye, Lady Athy! Enjoy!"
Lili smiled and waved. The carriege passed quickly and soon, the shadows of the carriege disappear.

•••
"Watch your step, my lady"
The coach said, and hold Athy's hands.

Athy jumped out of the carriege, almost fell, but she's ok.

Lucas walked beside her.
Seeing the big gates itself already made Athy shivers.
Her hands are shaking.

But something made it calm,

"Felix!"
Athy squeaked in excitement, seeing the tall man with red hairs walking towards Athy.

"Welcome back, princess"
Felix smiled and opened the gate.
"But- who's this young man?"

'Don't let him in, pleaseeee'
Athy thought.

"I'm a friend of hers, she gets scared sometimes, so I'll friend her"
Lucas said, with a lazy tone.

"Aww.. the princess already had a friend, welcome!"
Felix smiled, but Athy clearly don't.

Lucas grin and gave a thumb to Athy.
"Told ya!"

"Whatever.. let's go.."
Athy said and rolled her eyes.

Felix shows the way to the garden the tea time will be held in.
It was beautiful.
The view was incredible, the pond thats crystal clear, and the blooming flowers.

"Your majesty, princess Athanasia has arrived!"
Felix bow down infront of Claude.
Soon Athy and lucas too.

"You may raise"
Claude said with his cold tone.

When Athy raised her head, her eyes met with Claude's.
'His face looks so tired.. did he sleep well?..'

"Have a sit, Princess"
Felix said, and pulled a chair for Athy and Lucas.

"Ermm.. i'll just.. sit somewhere else, at least not here. I'm not invited after all"
Lucas said and pointed something random.

Athy looked at Lucas with full of anger.
'Sit here or you'll die!'
That what her eyes meant.

"Oh.. okay?.."
Felix said.

He then stand behind Claude.
And the two daughter and father sat face to face again.

"Thank you for inviting me, your majesty. It's a pleasure to see you!"
Athy smiled and face Claude.

"Hm"
He replied, like a minecraft villager- jk.

A silence wave flushed in. It was very awkward afterall. A year they haven't met, yet they feel they're like strangers who just met.

"How are you?.."
Claude asked, out of the blue.
Athy flinched a bit and glanced at Claude.

"I'm doing fine.."
Athy replied.
"Today, I just received a letter from Archland academy! I got a scholarship, I was so happy!"
Athy blurted out, hoping there will be another convo after she said this.

"Really?"
Claude starred in disbelief.

"Mhm!"
Athy smiled and nods.
Her eyes were distracted to the tea that's just served for her, the colour of bright red, an unique tea.

"Who are you living with?"
Claude asked.

"Hmmm? Mister Patterson"
Athy lied. If she tell the truth, her 'father' will be killed by her own real father.

"Patterson?.. who?.."
Claude asked.

"Err.. viscount Patterson?.."
Athy repeated. She started to get shivers again.
