Jenette made a sad face, seeing Athy going away.

"Heh.. wait Lucas, we can't leave Jenette alone, she's our guest!"
Athy said and tries to let go of Lucas's hand.

"But you're sick"
Lucas said.

"I'm fine, see"
Athy smiled and pointed her face.
"Theres nothing to be worried about!"

"Hmph, fine.. whatever"
Lucas let go and leave.

"Thank you, Lucas"
Athy smiled and walked

•••
Athy sat infront of Jenette who's looking happy and calm and act all innocent.
She keeps on starring her cup, she didn't know what to tell to Jenette since she can't remember interesting events.

"Athy, look!"
Jenette called and show her bracelet on her wrist.
"Izekiel bought it for me when he went to the coast, pretty isn' it?"
She started to turn her wrist.
The bracelet was made from small seashells and colourful pearls.

"It really matched you"
Athy smiled widely.

"Really? It is pretty, but i didn't thought it matched me."
Jenette said and started to play with her bracelet.
"Father also said it's nice, but his face made me hesitate"
Jenette sighed.

"Ah yes, how was he? I haven't heard about him"
Athy asked and looked at Jenette.

"He's doing fine. We always had tea time when we are able to"
Jenette replied and smiled. She started to drink her tea and watch the pond.

"Lady Athy, we have a guest!"
Lili smiled to Athy.
She then glanced to Jenette, she didn' know Jenette was there too.
"Ahh.. princess Jenette is here too, greetings your highness.."
Lili bow down infront of Jenette.

"Hello!"
Jenette smiled.

"Who's the guest Lili?"
Athy asked and started to stir the spoon in her cup.

"His majesty and his personal guard"
Lili replied.
Athy's eyes opened widely, her jaws dropped.

"Eh?.. Father is visting us?.. he told me he's busy.."
Jenette said in disapoinment.

"Fine, bring them in.."
Athy sighed and touched her forehead and started to give it little massages.

The emperor entered the garden wearing a formal suit, as usual, and a red haired soft boy walks behind him.

"Greetings, your majesty"
Athy bows down to show respect.
Jenette glanced to her and started copying whatever she does.

"You may raise"
Claude ordered and sat down between Jenette and Athy.

"Father, i'm so glad you visited Athy too, today!"
Jenette smiled and clap her hands softly in excitement.

'Her mood changes quickly..'
Athy thought, observing Jenette's face carefully.

"I heard you're not feeling well, so I came to give a visit"
Claude tell Athy and examine Athy's face.

"Hah.. it's a small problem.. I just faint but I'm okay!"
Athy smiled
"Theres nothing to be worried about.."

Claude nods as it means he understands.

'Well.. this is awkward..'
Athy sighed and starred at her tea cup for few minutes.
Usually Jenette does the talking, but she seemed bery quite now.
Well, Claude always stay quite unless he had to talk.

"Athy I brought som-"
Anastacius stopped talking.
He starred at Claude, to make sure, is that really him?
He bows down carefuly, so the tray of tea kettle and small cups won't fell.
"Greetings, your highness, your majesty"

"Mr Patterson!"
Jenette smiled and waved.
"It's nice to see you again!"

"Patterson?.."
Claude asked to jenette who looked really cheerful.

"Yes, mr Patterson, Athy's father"
Jenette continues.

Claude looked to Anastacius again.
Anastacius can feel the sweat dripping in his back.
"Isn't it suppost to be Anastacius himself? He said he would be Athy's caretaker"
Claude narrowed his eyes on anastacius.

"Umm.. he suppost, but he left for something important"
Anastacius lied, he also keep his face straight and normal to avoid suspiciousness.

"He left?"

"Yes, he left. He asked me to look after lady Athy, i accept her with all of my heart, it is a pleasure anyways.. to look after this angel"
Anastacius continues and pointed Athy.

"Then.. if he left his responsibilty, I think it's fine to take Athy back to the palace"
