As I said nonsense was about to come. I thought as I looked up at my daddy who as usual had a stoic face on himself. And then glanced on his right to a happy joyous face who belonged to my older brother, Thanos.
"Daddy and brother are both here. Haha" I smiled nervously at the awkwardness in the scenario. I noticed it earlier too but Thanos is like a mouse in front of Claude. He is a cinnamon role, and complete opposite of our almighty eagle Claude, and a person surprisingly raised by Claude, but I never thought that he would be so quiet around him.
If they would be cold to eachother, then too it would have been fine. But why are they so weird? Like... Does Thanos fear Claude? Why?
As I was drifting away and away in my thought, I suddenly was brought back to reality when I thought about the fact that Thanos is an extra charecter in the 'Lovely Princess' story who was not even mentioned and surprisingly entered when I was born here. His existence here is unknown and so is his fear of Claude. Many questions remain as I am stuck between story and reality.
"Does Princess not like milk?"
Gasp! I guess, I was in thought for a long time. "Hehe. That's not it Daddy."
"Then are you bothered by someone's presence?" Yes yours! But I can't throw it on your mouth. He then looks at Thanos. I can at this point tell clearly what this guy is thinking.
"Don't send brother away! He's my sunshine in night!" What?
"I am sorry?"
"Athy...."
"Pfft... Cough cough....ahem"
[An- Athy said the first line, followed by Claude's 'sorry'? And then her brother and at last Felix in the end.]
"But I didn't say anything. So you really are...." Amen you are impossible! At this point I really don't know what you think! AND I DO KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT! AT ! ANY ! COST!
"I guess my presence is really bothering you."
"I said No!"
"I should really go then"
"BUT I JUST SAID NO!" His face shrank like an orange shrinks to the size of a grape. Wtf? I am really hungry! Food!
"Brother! Food!"
"Athy?"
"At least wait till I am done eating. It's not good to leave your little sister who is 3 years younger {and 30 years older} than you. I would be hurt... Ouch..." Weak. Delicate. Overacting at its best... Yes!
"Oh Athy I am really very sorry to not look at your despair. I feel ashamed." He held my hands and I held his tight. Please don't leave me, a canary in front of this eagle. He could gobble me up. If you care about me...
"Please don't go brother...."
"Athy...."
"Brother..."
"Athy...."
"Brother..."
"Don't make me think that I have picked you up from a drama theater or a circus at the least." Mood spoiler Claude. Period. Gaaa!
"Father, but I want brother."
"Excuse me what?" He glared at his son and then at me. What?
"I-I mean I- want [forcing] to spend time with father and brother both. I love them equally." What? How jealous of your own son. Should I play the pity card? Forget it not in the mood.
But fact is I need to know some things now about my existence. About this brother's existence. About Jennette, about Izekiel... About everyone to survive. Once I would be of age, I will run away. Till then I would collect money and gold... And survive by cuteness all this while.
"Father, brother... " I looked up at the two men whose golden-hair shined by the little sunlight gleaming through the trees above. I smiled.... "Should we go for a walk after this?"
Remember this is a mask... Of lie... A web... In which I will leave one day... Far away.... Will the canary fly.... And never come back... Ever...
********
It was bright sunshine gleaming through the rose colored curtains.... There was a study table near the window. It had books of history, geography, literature and many more.... Rather than story books there were books of knowledge, reality based rather than fairy tales. One such book open on the table was of biology, about human body structure. The person reading it had brown hair and unusual cerulean bejewelled eyes. She was in her night dress, a child no more than 4 or 5 years. She was pretty different for a child of her age, maybe because she was born out of black magic... Her existence invited many questions, the only child of former emperor Anasthacius....
JENNETE'S POV:-
I sighed at the ridiculous book of biology which explained how children were born. Due to this era not being of too much research, but superstitions, they believe that women is responsible for birth of a boy or girl, but I hate to break it to you that it's the male's sperm that determines a child's sex.
I had been up all night studying the new books uncle brought for me. 4 years ago, the people who created this child out of black magic, actually ended up calling me, Seria, the undine spirit of darkness. We undines are the energy gatherers of spirit God's because of whom, they are able to use their powers and other sophisticated magic spells. We ourselves cant use magic, but can provide dark energy to others and sense it. We all at some point or other get called into different worlds and we have no choice but to go along with whatever. Its a pretty common thing and has been going on since time immemorial, that's why I was not surprised but decided to move forward and aspire for something better in this life for this unknown princess.
I want to lead a better life and the only way to do that is to go to palace... I don't know much about this world but since I would go to the palace, it would be fine. After this life's charade, I would leave and never ever come back.... Ever.... The only place to survive as of now is to try to get into the palace.... To a better life, for a better life....
