Athanese pov

Today morning when I woke up , I literally shocked myself half to death because I was sleeping on father's bed. His hair was to tempting to touch so I touched and he instantly woke up

Oh boy , that was pretty awkward. And now ,  I am walking towards my room.
Athanasia has moved to the emerald palace where it has been home to princess from generation.

I walk inside the ruby palace but I couldn't spot even a single human presence here. I started to walk towards my old room where me and rose used to spend time , the farthest wing. It has been years since I last visited this place.

The bench where we sat and played was rusty but I still sat there.

I kind of feel left out

Heh , but that doesn't matter because I was not even supposed to exist in this story. But I have a family here , whether they think of me as a family or not depends on them....

I am the second born and a weak one at that. My existence means nothing. But I want to mean something to at least someone. For now , what I need the most to help me in the future is

Political Standing

Yes , despite being a prince I don't have the ability to take part because the throne belongs to Athanasia , the crown suits better on her head. So , I want to do what I can in the future to help Athanasia and to do that I need power.

The path to gain power is hard , I might lose myself again or I might get corrupted but if the result is worthy then I will take any risk necessary.

This place honestly feels like a ghost town and now to think that I will live here alone.

Third person pov

After Athanese left quickly , Claude forgot to tell him that his room has been moved to another palace. Claude sighed and told felix to escort Athanese to his room.

Felix was walking inside the ruby palace searching for Athanese. He went to Athanese's room first and he didn't find him there. So he started panicking and started checking everywhere.

At last , he was searching the farthest wing. When he reached there Felix felt his heart break into pieces when he saw Athanese sitting at the bench with a distance look in his face and no emotion was seen on his face at all.

Felix wanted to comfort the child and ask him what is wrong but all his word were stuck on his throat. Felix stood there and started walking towards Athanese determined to comfort the little prince

' political Standing

Political authority

How will I be able to achieve it

Should I try another way to gain power

Should I take part in war

Should I let myself known as prodigy but that won't get me a strong foundation on the matters of the Empire  '

Athanese was thinking so deeply that he was startled when he felt someone hugging him from back. He saw a head of red hair

' rose-. No it's felix , but why is he hugging me '

Athanese thought as he didn't break the hug.

" Felix is something wrong "

Athanese asked worriedly

" Your highness , it's okay ... It's okay .... It's fine.... It's fine to cry no one will belittle you for it and if somebody does then I will make sure to cut them off "
