Chapter Twenty Three.

~ Third person pov ~

" my brother "

Athanasia said as she hugged her brother protectively and glared at Ijekiel childishly while rubbing the tears away from her eyes as quickly as possible . Ijekiel chuckled at her sudden change in behavior but frowned when he saw a scar that was left behind by deep cut on Athanese's face

Ijekiel stepped up a little bit and asked worriedly

" Were you hurt Athanese ? "

Athanasia left Athanese from her hug and looked down feeling guilty. Athanese noticed her behavior and tried to comfort her by patting her back in circles

" It's okay now , kiel "

Athanese said as he flashed a adorable smiled for Ijekiel. Ijekiel blushed for a split second before frowning again . He was about to ask who did it but he was interrupted when Athanese spoke up.

" Hey kiel "

Athanese said as he stood before Athanasia. Ijekiel looked at the slightly shorted male and asked

" What is it , Athanese ? "

" If you don't mind , can you let Athy stay here until she decides to go home "

Athanese asked politely

" Of course , I don't mind it at all "

Ijekiel said as he smiled

" Huh ? "

Athanasia said in confusion

"  Since I studied abroad in Atlanta , I was given extra room to share whenever my friends came to visit. My father doesn't mind and never comes to check them .

Princess can stay at the guest house instead if you might feel uncomfortable . If you would like I can make sure none of the servants run into you "

Ijekiel said as he tried to assure Athanasia to stay at the Alpheus Mansion

" Hmm , if you want to you can return to the palace anytime you want "

Athanese said as he glanced at Athanasia

' under normal circumstances I would refuse immediately but I want to rest '

Athanasia thought as she looked at Ijekiel and Athanese who were looking at Athanasia pleadingly

' they are too cute '

Athanasia thought as she turned around to think properly

' I should probably stay here for some time then '

Athanasia thought

" Then please pardon my intrusion "

Athanasia said . Athanese smiled at her while trying to understand her situation and looked at Ijekiel

" Thank you for letting athy stay here , kiel "

Athanese said as he smiled gratefully . Meanwhile Jennette was walking down the hallways happily .

' his majesty was so kind to me today .
I was scared of him at first but I think we have gotten a lot more closer in comparison to when we first met '

Jennette thought as she smiled and walked towards Ijekiel's room to talk with him.

" Ijekiel , are you there ? "

Jennette asked as she opened the door right after knocking. When she opened the door , she saw Athanese , Athanasia and Ijekiel inside the room.

" Ah , so you have returned Jennette "
