So yeah! In the last chapter, my brother fooled me and Claude into a meeting and got grounded in the end. Claude seemed quite upset with it and I knew he deserved that, but actually, I have a soft spot for him already, so I am trying to take him out of his punishment.
I enter in the royal garden to see Claude in front of me. Why is this man so effortlessly handsome? I went near him and called out, "Daddy!" I ran towards him then.
"Don't run like a horse." You little... No contend it, contend it. I want to remove my brother from punishment, not get a death punishment for myself.
"Felix." I think he wants to have tea as he goes to a prepared tea table, that had cakes and other snacks on it. Of I won't be careful this would be ,y last meal. Yeah! Careful careful.
A maid comes and serves milk to me. I look up to find a bit of shock on her face. Girl! Don't show your surprise like this. I know you didn't think he would call me again right? Even I didn't think so! You are not the only one.
"What are you thinking about?" Gasp! Was I spaced out for too long?
"Hehe! Daddy's hair is so pretty and sparkling", like gold, "like Sun."
"Oh? Is that so?" "Yes~" I glanced at the maids again and saw that not only one but all the maids over there were out of their wits. Geez...
I taste my milk. "It's so tasty!" I think this is the best way to start a conversation and talk him out to let my brother meet me.
"Daddy, it would have been so~ if brother were here." Felix finches a bit this. "I wonder where is he father. I am so glad that I was able to meet Daddy because of him." And that was the worst mistake of my life.
"Ah! Princess that is...." Felix started. Shut up could you?
"He..." Claude interrupted him all of a sudden. Felix then stayed quite. "He missed all his classes to enjoy the other day, so now he is working extra hard to catch up with his studies." What hell of studies does require a kid, and 8 year old kid to be trapped in his palace.... Is what I mean to yell, but I don't think I can.
Kill me. "Can't you call him? I miss brother a lot, no one is telling me why he doesn't want to meet me." Let's try it again.
"I don't think it would be a good idea to disturb him right now. So I think you should not call him here when he is busy." He said, this tone showed a bit of irritation.
Feels like I just got scolded by him. Anyways, I think that my luck is not gonna work today so I should just let him go. I can't save you brother, unnie is sorry.
But I would have to agree that, Claude's way to tell everything is really twisted and complicated. If it were the real Athanasia, she would not have understood any of it this soon. I should concentrate on taking this guy's love and getting attached to me. He would not kill me then right?
It would not hurt moreover to be a daddy's girl, I can't always rely on my unmentioned brother for ever right? Yes? Yes!
*****
To conclude it all, I had some evening snacks with Claude. Though I was unable to let brother out, it seemed that the tension between us had been reduced a bit. It's a good thing for my plan though.
Now all I have to do is quietly win Claude's support while later on run away before 18. Yes!
That day I devised 3 plans:-
A- To run before 18 with all the stolen goodies.
B- Gain father's love and become coddled princess.
C- Suck up to brother such that he wouldn't kill me.
I think I should follow plans C and B for the sake of my final plan A. Hm! Great all the best Athy! You can do it!
And so my perfect plan to run away was done.
I didn't notice it earlier, but it was night time, I called Lily and asked her to tuck me in. She patted me and wished me good night.
She's such a softie. Anyways, my plan to help my brother had failed, but I hope to reach a position someday where I would help him. That boy is pitiful afterall.
And with such bright dreams, I bid a farewell to the day and slept like a pig. Well, until the next time then, farewell! 😊
