Chapter 8 - Chap:7- Family

So tbh, I survived. I just had finished the cake that was there and when I did so, the 'brother' came. I give a Sigh of relief when  I hear that he wanted to meet Claude. Great! Now I can go!

When Thanos came in, he was a bit scared and Claude was... Unfazed, as expected. He then sent Felix out and asked Thanos to sit beside me. I was scared, alone in a room with a psycho killer and an unknown brother, what should I do? I begged to mister to not go out (in mind) but he didn't listen to me. Bad mister! Anyways, Claude later on asked me some kinds of questions, like, why wasn't I speaking up until now, why don't I know any manners, etc. It really pissed me off thinking that he was putting me down for not getting proper education from childhood that Thanos got.

Well, but it was all your fault right? I couldn't do anything because I wanted to save my life, I just laughed silly and played it off like a 5 year old. For all this while, he was ignoring Thanos and I started to notice that something was off with the atmosphere between them. I then started to talk about all good things about Thanos since I met him, but there was nothing special. He just played across me and Claude to let us meet and I can say that he's in trouble for that.

Claude was surprisingly hostile to a 8 year old and was not that hostile to me. It was really... Uncomfortable.

"Come to think of it, its just me who is doing all the talking." Well yes, you called me, remember? And yeah! This isn't talking, this is interrogation, to determine weather to keep me alive or not.

"At this point I am wondering do you ven know who I am?" He suddenly became cold and I could see a dragon trying to scare me. I had no choice now. I only had one weapon and that is to play cute... More cute and more cute...

"Um, father." I tilted my neck while smiling and I could see Thanos surprised. I have no choice now! "Papa?" More cute! Cute! "Daddy! You are my daddy!" Claude raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but then became silent. Thanos was surprised. Close your mouth mister, a fly might enter.

Then, after some time, he seems to have noticed that had stopped eating due to the awkward atmosphere and asked Felix to come in and leave me back to the Ruby palace. He also said something else, but I didn't understand it. The Ruby palace was really scared and when they saw me, they were super relieved. As I was put down on the ground, after Felix carrying me, I went to Lily and hugged her straight! Ah! I feel so homesick.

But then, a bombshell was dropped on  me. "His majesty said that he would call the princess over again."

Are you trying to kill me with those words after indigestion?

I and the maids looked at him in disbelief while he was like "Did I say something wrong?" Noo! I would have to go through mental torture again....

And that day came after 10 days of meeting Claude first. Damn! I was so happy to have finally escaped from that guy and yet I have to face him again. No! I don't even know how to be alive this time. Just leave me alone would you? Ughhh!

This time Felix came to pick me up, though I was expecting Thanos but still...

He gave me a piggy back ride to the palace. I am curious but as to why didn't Thanos come. I should ask mister right?

"Mister, mister!" I tug at his shoulder. He turns his head towards me, though slightly but still... "What is it princess?" He smiles a bit, gosh so handsome. "Where is Thanos?"

Wait should I have called him informally? He's still a child to me so...

"Princess, the crown prince is older than you, don't you think should call him older brother or something similar, with respect?" Mister, state your point already to call him brother, not in a round about way like this got it?

"Yes, I understand. Mister...." He interrupts me again, "Milady I am just a knight, please feel free to call me just Felix or Robane." Why? Why are you this....

"So Felix" don't lose it don't! "What about older brother? I thought he would come to pick me up." He was silent for a while, yo! Don't keep me hanging like that! "Ah! That, princess, actually, his majesty was very upset about the prince's behaviour. So, it would be better to ask him, I can't say it."

Its easy for me to predict it too, he must have been punished for playing around me and emperor, bit isn't Claude too cruel towards his 8 year old? Though he was in the wrong, I should try and get his punishment lifted up. He's my younger brother after all, don't worry child, unnie would help you!
