"Pink eyes?.. blonde hair?.."
Lucas rubs his chin,
"She sound familiar.. oh, that women.. i forgot her name.. nor where is she now.. but she is.. related to Athy, i think"
Lucas tried his best to tell about Diana, since he and Athy rarely talks about her.

"Related to that kid huh?.."
Anastacius sighed and covered his eyes with his hand.
"Is she really messing with my mind?.."

"She's not"
Lucas choose athy's side.
"If it wasn't for athy.. you'll be dead, cuz i won't help to heal ya"
He grinned.

"Hmph, meany"
Anastacius chuckled a bit.

"I'm serious"

•••
Athy walked on the library and brushed her hands with the books on the bookshelf slowly.

Her eyes looks so empty, she even ignores the book she loves to read from before.
And even skip dinner sometimes.

"It has been five days.."
Athy sighed to herself.

She stops walking and starred the floor.
But something caught her eyes, a pink book cover.

She grabs it, and see the title,
'The lovely princess?..'

"What kind of nove-"
Athy opens it and see a drawing of her and Jenette, standing to opposite sides, Jenette got the bright side, and Athy the dark side.
"What the.."

"Once upon a time, lived a princess name Athanasia.
She was unwanted and unloved?.."
Athy raised an eyebrow, she notices this is a kid story for bedtime.

'Athanasia was locked in ruby palace, by her cold-hearted father, the emperor himself, Claude'

'Heh, true..'
Athy smirked.

'But this story isn't about her..
It's about a lovely hidden princess name Jenette, everyone in the empire admired her beauty, even the emperor was touched by her.
She was the one, who will melt his majesty's heart!
The emperor gave Jenette emerald palace as a gift, he treasures her a lot! But the other poor princess is locked, why did his majesty hate her? Because when she is born, her mother died.
His majesty tried his best to forget about her mother, but Athanasia's presence reminds him of her. Athanasia kept giving him headaches and nothing but pain, while Jenette gave him blessings, while he is closed to Jenette, his pain disappeared..
Will his majesty loved Jenette? And take her as his own daug-'

Athy stopped reading, the rest of the pages are burnt.
It made Athy cry again.
Athy decided to put the book back again.
'I'm guessing.. he did..'
Athy smiled sadly, thinking how happy Claude is with Jenette.

"But how did that story have the exact na-"
Athy turned back to look at the book,
It turns out to be a burnt out book, it looks very old and fragile.
Athy blinks her eyes again, and rubs it couple of time.
It's the same old book.

"What the.."
Athy starred closely at the book, nothing changed, even the title were bunch of old language of Gods.

"Oi athy"
Lucas called.

"E-eh?!"
Athy gasped.

"Pfft.. anyways, it's time for dinner, you have to attend this.."
Lucas informs,
"It's his majesty's order"

"Umm.. okay.. give me few minutes to get dress"
Athy said.

Lucas nods and go.
Then Athy left the library and go get dress.

"Good evening.."
Athy greeted, the she looks around, seeing Jenette, penelope, Claude, lucas there.

Athy sat beside lucas, infront of Penelope.

"Is there.. a special occasion today?"
Athy asked to Claude.

"No, just a classis dinner"
Claude replied.
"You also have to eat, you looked skinnier from before"

"Y-yes.. your majesty.."

"Anyways where is that bastard?.."
Claude asked, looking at Felix.

Felix raised his shoulders.

But soon somebody knocks on the door and enters,
