"I think you should leave him some time to rest, m'lady.."
Lili suggested and grabs Athy's hand slowly.
"Yeah.. maybe.."
Athy stands, and starred at Lucas once again,
'He's never been this sick before.. he usually look strong..'
•••
"What happened to Lucas today, Athy?.."
Anastacius asked her again.
"He got a fever.."
Athy answered.
"Oh.. i think he does over worked himself.."
Anastacius sighed and continue on his works.
"He should be fine tomorrow, he's a magician anyways"
"Yeah.."
Athy nods and sat in the sofa.
"Daddy?.."
"Hm?"
"If Jenette.. stays with you.. will you love her the same way like you love me?.."
Athy asked.
Her face didn't move, she kept starring blankly at the walls.
"Why would you ask?.."
Anastacius glanced at Athy.
"Because.. she's your real daughter.."
Athy replied, her voice started to crack.
It hurts her to think both her father love Jenette, then who will love her if thats the case.
"Lets just be honest.. if that tragedy didn't happened, years ago, and Jenette stayyed with Claude, i don't think so. But if Jenette came with me instead, and i didn't know your existant, of course"
Anastacius honestly replied to Athy.
"Ah.. i see.."
Athy smiled, sadly.
"So daddy still love Jenette? Now? Even a bit?.."
Anastacius stopped his work.
He paused on that question.
Penelope may be his "second" lover.
But he loves Diana more.
"Maybe?"
"Thats good.."
Athy sighed in relief and leaned her head back.
"I care for her too"
"Why do you ask this kind of question?"
Anastacius asked, and walk closer to Athy.
"I don't know, it's just my curiousity.."
Athy answered.
"But you know i love you more, right?.."
Anastacius kneel down infront of Athy.
"Of course!"
Athy giggled, her face really represent Diana's face and expression.
"I love daddy more than everything too!"
Anastacius smiled and pat her head slowly.
He then continue his work in relief.
'How did Athy really got the thought of it?.. is she really growing up?..'
"By the way, dad, thanks for saving me from the trouble, yesterday"
Athy thanked him.
She couldn't imagine what would've happened if that Wendy really attacked her that day. She could've be executed that day too for calling names on her infront of Claude.
"No problem, i can't let anyone put a dirt on my daughter and lover's name.."
Anastacius grips on his pen tighter.
"Did dad just called mama a lover?"
Athy smirked.
Anastacius relized what he just said,
His face turned steamy red,
"E-eh.. I meant my daughter's mother!"
"That is cute!"
Athy giggled and teased Anastacius.
"Stop that..."
Anastacius blushed again.
"Or i'll kick you off from my office.."
"Pfftt!.. haha, i'm leaving anyways.."
Athy chuckled.
"Eh? Really? This soon?.."
Anastacius starred at Athy.
"I don't want to disturb you.."
"I-it's fine.. stay!"
"Err.. okay?.."
"You know.. sometimes i wondered.. what if i didn't came 7 years ago.."
Anastacius said, while he still scribling on the papers.
"Heh?.. when?.."
Athy asked.
"Don't pretend you don't remember, that must've be your most traumatizing moments.."
Anastacius said,
"You could've die if i didn't came"
"Oh.. when lady Penelope was about to stab me?.."
Athy asked, trying to remember again,
"It is scary.. but that time.. i thought magic can bring me back to live.."
"Who will do that if i didn't know you?!"
Anastacius started to get pissed.
"Oh.. no one.. maybe Lili?.."
Athy said.
"Remember Athy, while you can, live as long as you can, no magic will heal you from dead.."
Anastacius suggested Athy.
"Why not?.."
Athy asked, looking at Anastacius.
"Because.. death is a faith you can't avoid, every people must die, and if i can bring people from death.. i would've do that.. long time ago.."
Anastacius said, he remembers when he is willing to gave his live up to bring Diana back, but Lucas stopped him, since it's no use, he won't see her anyways.
"I understand.."
Athy sighed.
"But daddy.. if Athy is on the verge of death, daddy also have to live a happy life still!"
Athy smiled, trying to cheer Anastacius up, knowing she can just die anytime soon with those magic she can't handle, and Claude as a ticking time bomb.
"Haha.. i will.."
