Few days later..

"Anastacius?.."
Roger Alphues asked, looking at Anastacius dazing.

"Hmm?"
He answered.

"Why are you starring at the view with a.. well- sad face?"
He asked.

Anastacius looked at Roger.
"I'm worried.."
He answered.
"About Athy.."

"Why? Since our kids schooled in Archland, we didn't see them that often.."
Roger said.

"Not that, she'll be meeting Claude soon"
Anastacius explains. He started to hold his hands tighter.
For him, it's a great choice to ask Lucas to stay with her but it could be not.

"His majesty?.. what for?"
Roger's eyes widened. Anyways, why would a father who ditched his own daughter have a meeting? That would be unpleasent.

"Does it looked like I know?"
Anastacius asked, his voice tone changed, he looked really mad and tired.

"Well calm down, I'm sure Jenette will come too, his majesty will act nice around Jenette"
Roger smiled.

"Sure thing.."
Anastacius rolled his eyes.

•••
"Your majesty, have you eaten enough?"
Athy asked with a cute tone to look nice.

Claude glanced to the view of the pond, it's like giving Athy hints that he's annoyed.

"Ah.. your majesty.. I've prepared some salty crackers, i've heard you dislike sweet flavours. I did prepared some fruits, it's a little sweet but it's very fresh"
Athy smiled and pointed the foods she mentioned.
"I also baked some cookies and brownies in case your majesty want some"
She pointed a tray of sweets.

"When did you become this annoying?"
Claude asked.

"Haha.. really? Am i usually quite?"
Athy giggled and asked.

Claude looked away again.

'Looks like I can't avoid silence..'
Athy thought and sighed.

"And I also heard your majesty loved Lippe tea, i too love lippe tea, it has an unique fragrant and sweet taste. Every time I drink it, it felt like a flower is blooming inside my mouth"
Athy smiled and glanced at her tea cup.

Claude and Felix both looked at Athy with their eyes wide open.

"H-how do you kn-"

"I'm sorry to disturbed this peaceful moment"
Lucas interupted.
"But i'm here to give Athy's request from earlier"
He said and gave a basket filled with colourful flowers that smelled lovely.

"Wow.. thank you Lucas"
Athy smiled and grabbed the basket.

"My pleasure, i'll leave"
He bow down and step away from the two father and daughter.

"They even smell lovely.."
Athy whispered and smiled wider.

"What are those for?"
Claude asked and pointed the flowers.

"Oh this? For making flower crowns!"
Athy explained.

'Great i waited till athy made a trouble.. if i gave it earlier.. she's probably yeeted by his majesty..'
Lucas thought and smirked
'Dummy..'

"Your majesty?.."
Athy called.

"Hm?"

"You haven't told me whats the reason for you to come here.."
Athy said and continues to string up the flowers.

"I myself didn't even know"
Claude answered and looked at Athy who's having fun with flowers.

"Ah, is that so? I thought Jenette would come too.. I've prepared jasmine tea for her since it's her favourite"
Athy said and pointed a cup of cold jasmine tea beside her.

"If she came here.. she would've spoiled the mood and the silence.."
Claude explains.

"Didn't your majesty said I'm annoying too?"
Athy giggled.

"Yes, but not in that way. I understand you wanted to treat your guest correctly"
Claude complimented Athy.

Athy smiled,
"Hmm, maybe you're right.."

"Princess Athy is also very good at making flower crowns"
Felix complimented.

"Athy?"
Claude asked, glancing at Felix.

"It's a nickname, instead of Athanasia, your majesty can also call me Athy for short"
Athy explains.

"Why Athy? It sounded so childish"
Claude said.

"It is"
Athy chuckled.

"Princess Athy is also getting close to Jenette until you reconize her favourite tea. Even myself didn't know her favourite tea"
Felix smiled.

"I did notice she always drink jasmine tea every tea time we had together, i boldly thought she loved jasmine tea. I did hear her say the aroma of the tea calms her down"
Athy continues.

"Aww.. two princess having tea time together.. how often?"
Felix asked.

"Felix, your getting annoying too"
Claude talked in.

"Aha.. i'm sorry.."
Felix said.

"We usually have tea time twice or once a week, it could be three but it depends to my schedule, I'm quite busy these days.."
Athy answered.

"Thats lovely.."
Felix said.

"Since there's too much noise here, i'll be going"
Claude said and stands up from his place.

"Ah, your majesty, I also have something to give"
Athy called and grabbed another basket beside her.

"I made this lucky charm for you, i also made Jenette some flowers crowns and a scarf for her. And i made one scarf for Felix too!"
Athy hand a charm to Claude.
It's made from gold and wood, it also have some flower to it.
She hand the basket filled with scarfs and a crown flower to felix.

"T-thankyou princess.. this is too much actually.."
Felix smiled and blushed lightly.

Claude didn't thanked her or say anything, he just left her.
But for Athy, it's special to see Claude receiving her gifts.
