Chapter 10 - Chap:9- Older brother's side

Thanos's pov:-

Its been a month since I got punished by father. It was all my fault, I am such a bad son...

I just wanted to know sister better. I ended up doing something I should not have. Father was very Angry at me that day. Sister did not say anything, but she also was scared that father might scold her because of me.

[AN-You have got it wrong kid! 😑]

But she should not worry, father is not the kind of person who would remove his anger on others. Father was very upset with me. I should go and talk to him properly later on but the fact is that, would he let me meet sister again? I am such a bad boy, would he even meet me again? Will I be grounded for life? He just said I was to study hard until he asks me to come and meet him. But would I be left here to be punished for eternity? Would I be able to meet sister and father again? Would there be someone else scary who would teach me from now on? Would they be cold to me? Would they scold me? Would they beat me? Would father ever care about me? Would I be thrown in jail if I displease them? Noooooooooooo.....

[AN- You need to calm down kid!ಠ﹏ಠ]

No! Is father really going to do that to me? No! I should go and talk to sister. I have to sneak out of here first. For that... I jump out of the library window, that was on the ground floor and go straight to sister's palace. It was just like how I did the first time.

[AN- Seems like someone is gonna get their ass whooped 🤪]

Sister's... I mean Athanasia's palace:-

Athanasia's POV:-

Its been over a month damn it! I have not seen my brother since. Its not like I miss him, but just worried, for all the while, he was there, Claude just kept taunting that poor child. And he just kept his head low and sipped tea. He didn't even finish his cake. Was it because Claude was there?

For all this while... Was Claude raising him like that? Such a cruel way to treat a child. I thought he loved him. Was that it?

I have been to Claude's palace many a times, but he was just unfazed. Neither happy nor sad. Nor irritated. It seemed as though no matter what I did, he didn't seem to bother. I had started becoming sassy around him now. I noticed that if I am too uptight, our meeting are just boring and formal. But if I act like a sass, its more... What to say... Fun... Again! Don't get me wrong, this is not because I am attached to Claude, nope! It is just for survival from that fate.

I always tried to avoid my older brother as I didn't know who his mom was, was she a transmigrater like me? Or was it due to some transmigrated OC charecter who let Thanos's mom do live making with Claude? I still don't know of it and I was confused. So I avoided that doom flag. I didn't even know weather he would save me or not. But now....

Due to him I got attached to Claude enough for him to not kill me. But still I can't be sure of Claude. I would have run away before 18 weather my fate returns or not.

As I was in these thoughts, I heard a knock on the door...

*Knock knock*

"Princess." Lily?

"What is it Lily?"

"The first prince has come to meet you. He said he wants to talk with you for the last time."

[AN- P.S- I have changed the title of crown prince to first prince as he is yet to be officially crowned. Moreover, there is also a chance of Athanasia becoming the crown Princess instead of him. So I have decided to keep it 1st prince instead of crown prince.]

WHAT THE HELL DID CLAUDE DO TO MY BROTHER NOW!?

I CAN SHOOT THAT CLAUDE EVEN IF IT WOULD BE FOR MY BROTHER!

I rush to the guest space,"WHAT DID CLAU- I MEAN EMPEROR DO TO YOU OLDER BROTHER!?"

*Silence*

W-was I too rash?

"Sister... " He said his voice trembling. What did Claude do to the older brother of mine. "Father... Father was very upset with me. But the fact is that, I was worried he would not let me meet sister again. I am such a bad boy, that I am being grounded for life. I would be left there to be punished for eternity. I would never be able to meet sister and father again. There will be someone else scary who would teach me from now on. You know? They Would be cold to me and scold me. They Would also beat me and father will never ever care about me. I will also be thrown in jail if I displease them. Hence I came to say goodbye."

[AN- Those were just your concerns kid

*Table flips*]

That- that Claude! That son of a- He is just 8.

"I hate him."He said. I know it must have been hard on him. I thought Claude was scary but he still had human emotions as he liked Jennette. But was I mistaken? All of the past feelings of hate and regret of me becoming Athanasia along with what was going to happen to Thanos just came to my mouth and...

"I HATE PAPA!" I shouted. All of the room went silent at once. They would have never seen me throw a tantrum like a child. But this was the first time I aas so angry at someone. The doom was just motionless and speechless for a while. Is it because of me?

I then looked up to see Thanos Frozen... Why? Wait! No!

"Whatever you both said just now hurt me more. First prince and first princess." Claude!

I turn around to see a man in his late 20s with blond hair and bejewelled eyes and a very stern emotion less face... One that was angry and... dissapointed.

I just said something that could get my doom flag up. I was scared to know what would happen next... But more than that, I was sad...
