Another Princess ( LOVELY PRINCESS)

His appearance.

I made my own way towards the palace. I knew a drama was waiting to be staged. I might look like mischievous through my words but that's how I am. What's my plan and what's my goal? I haven't decided yet why would I? It's not like it has anything to do. I do plan on destroying this empire. But I would need someone's help for that. Let's see how long they can be taken advantage of.

" Impossible! How in the world could the emperor show up.? "

Diana  De Alger Obelia.

She just noticed the incidents happening in front of her eyes. She doesn't do much nor she tries to stop cause she knows it's be no avail. She also had died before but if she argues right now her existence might be questioned.

" Alive? What do you mean My Duke? You might be speaking of the old conflicts between me and Claude right? "

No one had anything to say.  The flash back of Anastacious being killed popped up on Felix's mind. Also another inquiry bothered Felix. Wasn't Duke Alpheus dead from the begin with? How could a dead person be present at this time and Diana? Wasn't she dead also. He felt dizzyness in his head. He lowered his sword and retreated.

Diana now should say something. She tries to get her self involved with this matter. She speaks.

" Had I known Brother Anastacious would show up all so Suddenly I could have arranged a proper greeting for you ?"

Anastacious smirked she spread his hands in manner of embracing.

" Was there any need? And you're Diana aren't you? I've heard about you from Athanasia. "

The hall became numb in shock. Athanasia? But how would he know her?

Diana fakes her smile and continues.

" I'm pleased that you have met our daughter but why hadn't you shown up all this years? "

" I suggested him not to. "

A calm but sharp voice came out behind of Anastacious. The owner of the voice came forward.

" I suggested that he shouldn't. "

Diana couldn't move her lips. She just stared at the person in front of her. It's her. It's her daughter! But...why ?

" I apologize for not being able to conduct properly in front of Queen Mother. "

Diana this time didn't smile but had a tough expression on her face.

" What is the Princess doing here? I order the princess to return immediately. "

Athanasia smirked. How strange does this girl require no emotion or fear?

" I had to come, I had predicted that uncle might get questioned a lot after he shows up. "

Anastacious hurried and remarked.

" I just had to arrive since my younger had fainted because of using too much black magic. "

The eyes fell on Anastacious. What did he mean by using too much black magic?

" That's what I'm trying to say. Since Claude was sick I had to come to take proper responsibility of this empire. "

Diana greeted her teeth. She knew she could do nothing much. For her own daughter to betray her like this was really unexpected.

" I shall strongly oppose this why would His Majesty use black magic out of nothing? "

Diana knew she could not shout in front of this many people.

" The meeting is adjourned due to some problems. I the Empress of Obelia apologize behalf of this. "

The state officers didn't dare to do what they would have liked to do-over stay and watch the drama. They silently left else the figment of Duke Alpheus.

Felix now had to open his mouth. He couldn't stand being ignored and had felt like he had a ton of questions to ask.

" How come His Grace Duke Alpheus is here? Isn't he supposed to be dead from the fire incident?"

He said as if it was no big deal for a person to be present after their death.

" That's what it is. It proves my Father used black magic on Duke Alpheus for his own benefit. "

Diana felt like slapping across Athanasia's face. But had to keep her hands to her.

" Sir Felix please bring Sir Lucas here. That might solve the problem. "

No now Anastacious felt quite uncomfortable. He couldn't let Lucas see his face then. And he might not act up-to as Aetarnitas had told him to.

Athanasia came forward. Her expression on hearing Lucas's name changed slightly. She asked in husky voice.

" Does queen mother not trust my abilities? What does a magician have to do in our family matter? "

Diana was left to laugh. Family? What family? Athanasia never acknowledged them as her family then why now?

" I'm afraid but does the Princess even acknowledge us as her family? "

Athanasia chuckled. However she could prevent Lucas from being called in.

" My acknowledgement shalln't bother you Queen Mother? "
