Chereads / [DISCONTINUED] Reincarnated as Athanasia and with OLDER BROTHER! / Chapter 26 - Chap 23: Communication is the key

Chapter 26 - Chap 23: Communication is the key

"Daddy!" I screamed at Claude when he turned around and I ran towards him. I went to his palace straight after reading the diary which was incomplete.

"Athanasia?" When Claude turned around I caught a glimpse of the mini version of Claude. It was Brother Thanos! Oh my God! It's been 3 days since I saw him and he's cute as ever.

Welp since Thanos's mom spread some magic on him, he now seems more like Claude than Anasthacius. I remember reading that in diary.

"What happened princess?" Claude asked.

"I just came to meet you daddy. Btw hbu brother?"

"Ah... No nothing. I was just passing by..." He said that and he turned around. It made me feel weird. He was behaving in a very awkward manner. Seems like he's hiding his feelings again.

What happened at that day... And how Thanos found out about his mother, the chain of events which lead to what happened today... I think, he might be disturbed by that.

And he came to meet dad to seek comfort and now that I came, he has become awkward and now he's going again. Gaah! I hate my timing! I wish if I could have a system or smth to tell me what's happening where.

Geez!

What to do? What to do?

Aha!

"Brother it's been long since we all had tea together so why not...?"

"I really don't want to, Athy. I am sorry." His face became sadder and his expression darker when he said that. Seems like he doesn't wanna spend time with Claude or be around him. Why did he come here then? Did Claude call him?

"Prince, maybe you should stay for a while. Princess wants that and I want it too." Claude said.

Yup that confirmed that Claude called him. Please... You have raised your nephew convince him Claude. It won't do otherwise.

There was a long ass moment of silence. Geez...

Asses. This won't work at all. What to do? Should I just drag them out for tea?

Nope! Dad has just started to like me a bit and then Thanos's case came in. If I drag him I will be dead for sure.

But if I just stay like this, then it would be past the tea time and their misunderstanding would continue on forever.

Think about if he grows up with this hatred. He would be like that hero with a bad past. He would be shut of from the whole world and then won't have anyone except the female lead. He would think the whole world is his enemy. He would then think of killing his dad and usurping the throne. Once he would be done with it, he would kill me too because of the hatred his mom had towards my mom. Then he and the female lead will live happily ever after after Killing me and my dad. They would kiss eachother in front of our dead bodies and blow out fireworks in moonlit night and then have kids who will grow up to be as handsome as their parents and their parents will tell how they rose to become the Empress and Emperor of the Empire while we listen to their story from the heaven above. GAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

"I CAN'T ALLOW THAT!!!"

D-did I just say that aloud?

Judging by the stares of Claude and Thanos and the maids and servants nearby, I think I did...

Why... Do I end up embarrassing myself? Again and again? I thought as I face palmed myself.

Both Thanos and Claude looked at me in a weird way as if they had seen a ghost. Is it too late to jump off a cliff now?

I so wanna disappear!

Please have mercy lord!

"Wh-what can you n-not allow Athy?"

"Ahhh... ummmm... Uhhh..."

"Stop singing and answer properly!" Claude said irritated. I flinched. Don't scold me it was my overthinking at its max.

"I can't allow- this silence. C'mon you both wanna talk with eachother but still you guys are acting awkward. It's better to just talk about it rather than carrying on guilt and misunderstanding for a long time. Father, this won't do if Thanos is going to take over and even if I would be your heir, then still this won't be good if brother won't be on good terms with you. You both need to cut the awkwardness between you. Whatever has happened can't be undone. But the moment can be relived for such things to not happen in future. And for the future to be more peaceful than the past. Isn't that what we all adults strive for? To make the future filled with peace for future. Would it do if the wars from 300 years ago were carried on till today? No right? All the countries talked it out with each other, and solved the matter and prevented fire from escalating further. For the other countries who lost, they discussed with the countries who won over them on what was acceptable in their empire and what was not. This is called progress and how did it come to us? By communication! You must have heard of the phrase right? Communication is the key? Yes! That's it. Talk it out with your son. Father, it would be better than you would have imagined." I said.

The king ass speech kept both bro and dad dumb founded. Seems like it was a lot to take in but rather than silently listening to it, it's better to just say it. Cus... Communication is the key afterall,
