TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Twelve: Devine Creature

"Fair. Friends?"

"Friends." They shook hands.

Now we have a useful ally and I got myself a buddy. Arthur smiled.

MEANWHILE WITH ANGELINA...

Angelina sighed and placed away her book on the table and stared at the vast of trees ahead of her. She was very bored and her other book collection will arrive in a few days. Until then she'll probably die from boredom.

What do to, what to do, what do to. Angelina thought to herself. An idea popped in her head. She jumped from the couch and ran to her father office. As she ran she saw a few knights bow at her and a few maids coo at her cuteness.

I am smaller than Athy and Arthur so it's natural I'd be the cutest. Angelina thought to herself with a grin.

Angelina reached the office, she stood there and knocked twice. Exactly a second later she heard a 'who is it' from Claude.

"It's me, papa!" She said in a loud tone. Angelina reached the doorknob with a bit of a struggle but it opened itself and Angelina fell forward but stopped when she bumped into someone.

"Oof!"

"Causing a ruckus without your siblings, hmm?"

Angelina felt a hand on her should to keep her steady, she looked up and met Claude's poker face looking at her. She giggled and hugged him.

"Wanted to see you, papa!"

"Hmm. Where's Felix?"

"He's with Athy! Arthur already left to mister White's house! I was lonely so I came to see papa!"

Claude stared at her before pulled her inside and closing the door behind them, Angelina grasped his robe and walked to the desk. She watched as Claude cleared out some of his papers aside and sat down.

"Can I sit with you, papa?"

"Sit."

Claude placed his hands around Angelina's waist and picked her up, placing her on his lap. Angelina looked over the desk and saw a book. Curiosity took control of her and reached for it. Her tiny hands picked up the heavy book with ease and read the title.

'Politician Laws of Obelia'

"Are you interested in these books as well?" Claude asked, his eyes observing the small child before him. Angelina shook her head.

"Politics always made me either angry or confused. Some of them are logical but others are just stupid. Strong people want control over the weak ones and put out laws and watch watch them so they can't be as strong or stronger than them. It's just making the talented and skilled people that could change the world as well as the laws cower in fear because of the selfish and greedy ones." She said in a bored tone.

Claude stared at her before smirking.

"So you have read some before?"

"Yep. One time I threw the book from the window because of how angry I was." She pouted.

"Hmm."

"Papa? I have a request."

"Which is?"

"Can I learn Violin?"

"... violin? What for?"

"I love the sound it makes and its fancy!" And because I miss playing it. Angelina thought to herself.

"... I'll pick out a suitable teacher for you tomorrow."

"Yay!" Angelina clapped her hands, she felt Claude rub her head and leaned in to the touch. She knew Claude was much more careful and gentle to her than Arthur and Athanasia. Ever since that night. He thought of her as a delicate flower, also since he was scolded by Felix when he explained how frail she was.
