TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Fifteen: Awaken

"PRINCESS!"

The two were outside of Athanasia's room as they heard her cry out in pain. Angelina was shaking and Arthur walked back and forth. Both of them sweating and worried sick. They saw the guards bring out a man in cloak. After what seemed like an hour.

Claude and Felix came out of her room. Arthur quickly ran in before the doors closed but was stopped when Claude held his forearm. The young prince thrashed but Claude didn't let go.

"H-HEY! N-NO! NO LET GO! I-I NEED TO SEE HER! ... please." Arthur cried.

Claude didn't say anything but he pulled Arthur into his arms and quoted him down. Arthur tried to wiggle his way out of but his body suddenly went limp and what seemed like he went to sleep. Angelina sniffled and tired to get in the door but Felix held the doors.

"I'm sorry, princess." He apologized sincerely.

"Please, Felix... let me see her please?" She begged. Felix frowned and his face was sympathetic. Claude walked to her and knelt down in front of her. Arthur's sleeping form still in his arms.

"Daddy?"

"You need sleep." Claud stated. His hand was placed on her head and her eyes closed and her body fell down but Claude caught her before she could hit the ground.

Athanasia... .

The triplets dreamt of a beautiful woman in oink dress. She sat down on a chair with the moonlight on her, making her look like a goddess. Her tears falling from her magenta eyes.

Their POV looked at her but left. After that they saw a figure if what seemed like off Claude and he marched to her. The woman startled when Claude held her by her arms and yelled.

"I've lost. It feels as if I've been played by you all along. I'll beg if you want me to."

"How ... how can you say such a thing?" The woman cried in horror.

"Because if I don't, I'll lose you completely." He grit his teeth and continue.

"Yes I'm aware. This is nothing but some stupid game of emotions but knowing that, I still end up Shh owing all my cards like this again."

"Your majesty-"

"Don't think about anything else. Decide this with only yourself in mind." Claude continued. His became in a begging tone.

"Don't leave. Choose me. Choose me... ."

The woman's tears became more and cried.

"INSTEAD OF THOSE THOSE CHILDREN THAT ARE EATING AWAY AT YOUR LIFE AS WE SPEAK!"

The days went by and the two siblings would stay out of Athanasia's room and just wait. At last Claude let them go inside after two weeks. It pained him when he saw both of them not eat or sleep properly. He noticed both of their skins became pale and under their eyes were dark. From the day he let them go inside, he watched them try to talk to her. Angelina would read her, her favorite books and Arthur would talk about his day in training.

Sometimes he would catch them asleep in the bed with their sleeping-in-coma sister. One day Claude banned them from coming in until they had a bath and a proper meal. They quickly took a shower and they admitted it was very refreshing. With a good meal and wearing nice clothes, they went back to Athanasia's room.

Once they entered it they saw Claude holding an awake Athanasia and Lily was crying in front of them. They shouted.

"ATHYY!"
