"Listen Athy.. when i have to go.. you should let me go.."
Anastacius whispered to Athy who's layying her head on his lap.
The both father and daughter sat under the blue sky, in the middle of the garden.

"Ehhh?! Why?"
8 years old athy asked, looking confused.

"Because.. anyways.. you still have to comeback to claude, your real father.."
Anastacius smiled brightly,
His golden hair was brushed by the wind, making him looking like a sunshine.
"I love you, Athy, as my only daughter"

•••
Athy woke up, gasping for air as much as she can.

Lily, felix, Lucas, and Claude glanced.

Lily panicked and quickly gave her a glass of water.
"L-lady! My precious lady! You're awake!"
Lily cried and holds her tightly.

"Dad?.."
Athy murmured.

"Y-yes?.. m'lady?.."
Lily asked, wiping her tear.

"Daddy?!"
Athy cried.
She pushed the glass back to liley and jump of the bed.

"M-m'lady.."
Lily called, her voice sounds pale and scared.
"M'lady you just woke up.. please get back to bed!"

"D-daddy!"
Athy cried and trip on her feet.
Her muscles aren't working hard,
It made her crawl misserably on the floor.

Gladly, claude pick her up (princess style)
"Sleep"
Claude said, slowly he lay Athy on his bed.

"B-but daddy.."
Athy hesitated.

Felix and Lily looked at eachother as if they're asking
'What should we do?'
Then the two glanced to Claude, waiting for his response.

"Just sleep. You need rest first."
Claude said and tuck the blankets on Athy.

Athy obeys Claude, since her eyelids felt heavy and her head hurts a lot.
She finally shuts her eyes, and sleep.

•••
Hours later, when the sky turns orange, telling the sun is about to set.
Athy woke up, seeing Lily falling asleep in the edge of her bed, and Felix sleep-standing near the door.

"Daddy.."
Athy whispered and jumped out the bed, slowly, so Lily nor Felix would wake up.

She opens the door, gladly it didn't made any noise, and shuts it carefully too.
'Where am i?..'
Athy looks around.
This is not Ruby palace.. even Athy had a hardtime to remember the directions in Ruby palace.
'This is his majesty's?!'
Athy remembers. When she was a kid, Felix and Lily would escort her here to meet Claude.

"Daddy.. i want daddy.."
Athy whispered underneath her breathe, while she ran along the halls.
After few minutes of running, she gave up.
"Daddy.."
Athy started to cry, her eyes were filled with tears.

'What if he is lock in the dungeon?..'
Athy thought, that made her wanting to cry more.

After walking a few more steps,
Athy saw a light comming out of a door that is slightly opened.
That when athy felt something hit her head.
"Dad?.."

She walk closer, slowly.
And peek at the door.
A tall man with black hair sitting on the chair,
But on the bed, it's someone different.
Athy enters the room, but the door screech.

Lucas turned to see,
"A-athy?!"
Lucas stands and walk closer to Athy.
As soon as he is close enough, he hugged athy tightly.

"L-lucas.. daddy?.."
Athy pointed at the man who looked very pale, his skin is white like a corpse layying down.

"Look.. Athy.. i can explain that-"

"DAD?!"
Athy screamed, it is really Anastacius.
For Athy, he seemed dead.
She grabs Anastacius's hand, its cold as ice.
"No.. dad?... no.."

"Athy.. wait.."

"Don't die!"
Athy yelled, her tears are flowing like a river.
"Don't die! I said don't die!"

"Athy!"
Lucas called, raising his tone.

"L-lucas.. you can do magic.. help him!"
Athy cried and begged Lucas.

"Athy, he is not dead"
Lucas tells Athy.
"He is still alive.. but his soul isn't in his body right now"

"W-what? How?"
Athy asked, and starred at Lucas.

"Half of his soul is in you, and his other is probably somewhere out there.."
Lucas said, sitting beside Athy.
"He is still alive, you can hear his heartbeat."
