"But father.. are you okay?.. for real"
Jenette ask, standing infront of Claude while he lay down.

"Yes.."
Claude sighed.
"Can you leave?"

"Oh, yes, father. Blessing and glory upon Obelian empire"
Jenette excused herself and shut the door.

Not long after Jenette leave, somebody knock on the door and enter Claude's room.

"Claude, darling.."
Penelope called, sitting beside to him.
"Is everything alright?.."

"I'm fine.."
Claude replied, feeling annoyed.

"Why don't we have a cup of tea? Maybe it'll make you relax a bit.."
Penelope adviced.
She then give a signal to the maid that escort her from behind.
"What happen to you, today?"

"I met him"
Claude said.

"Him??"
Penelope asked Claude.

"Anastacius"
Claude tighten his fist.
Even sayying his name made him feel irritated.

'It can't be..'
Penelope's eyes widened. She started to grit her teeth.
"Ah, is that so?"

"Pardon me, madam, your majesty, the tea is served"
The maid from before announced and put all the tea set down and some plate of desserts.

"Ah, let me pour your tea, claude"
Penelope smirked.
Her hand started to grab something from her pocket.

"I don't need you to pour it"
Claude said, and he turns to Felix.

"E-eh, yes, your majesty"
Felix nods.

Penelope's heart started pounding harder and faster.
'D-did i get caught?..'

Soon, another servant enters bringing another tea set.

"I don't enjoy your kind of tea brew"
Claude insinuated Penelope.
Felix then slowly pour him the tea.
The colour of bright red and beautiful smell started to lighten up the room.

"Ah.. then, what kind of tea you like?"
Penelope asked.

"His majesty loves lippe tea"
Felix smiled, actually he is trying to make Penelope relized that Diana is the only one for him.
(Good job felix :>)

"Lippe tea?.."
Penelope asked herself.
'Isn't that from.. that witch's hometown?"

Not much conversation happened.
Penelope starred blankly at the broken photoframe of her in his room. She started to wonder why.
But she's relieved that Diana's wasn't here.
'Liar'
That voice reminds penelope about Claude's face when he knew she cheated on him.

Claude turn his face to Penelope who's starring at her photo.
"I'll fix that"
Claude sighed, putting his cup down.

"But.. why is it broken in the first place?.."
Penelope asked.

Claude's head started to ache.
He started to get some blury flashback of him and Penelope.

"C-claude?.."
Penelope asked, her face started to show she's panicking.

"Get out"
Claude ordered,
Pushing Penelope's hand away harshly.

"O-oh.. okay.."
Penelope said, and just really ran from his room.

"Y-your majesty?.."
Felix called.
Looking worry.

Claude soon started to relax a bit,
His head still hurts but he is getting used to it.
"I'm.. fine"

"Should we really fix that frame?.."
Felix asked.

"No."
Claude simply replied.
He never wanted that picture to hang in his wall either.
