Now we survived everything!

"You can tell me if you have something you want like last time. Or something you want me to do for you." Claude said.

"It's okay, I love anything I get as long as it's from you, daddy!" Athanasia said shaking her head.

I always thought that if I was rich I'd be happy buy now- WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?! Arthur sighed.

We could've been on TLC for spoiled children who don't know what spend on the money of their rich dad.

Claude stared at them. The triplets were confused.

"To be honest, I just like being you daddy ... hehe."

Way to make it awkward.

"... just finish your meal."

I really need to shut my mouth.

I can help.

"Didn't his majesty ask about your birthday gifts?" Felix asked.

"Did you tell him what gift you would like?"

"Nope, we already have everything we need and want."

"And also said we like anything he'll gift us.

"Still, isn't there anything you'd like?"

I have a library that was made for me. That shit it bigger than the local library in the capital.

Not to mention he gave us the treasure keys.

There are mountains of jewels that I'm pretty sure I don't know that most of therm exist.

Dresses, accessories.

Don't forget the rose garden built for ya.

And the training grounds dad said to be built for you. You have 10 amazing horses and finest tools to train.

The garden of various flowers for Angel.

"Uhhh, I don't really know." Athanasia sighed.

Out of all the problems of there world this is our greatest worry.

"Your highnesses, your debutante ball is coming up soon. Er, may I ask what are you planning to do about the first dance?"

Shit. They realized.

Normally, aristocrats dance with their betrothed chosen by their family.

Dad was very against having us to be in an arranged marriage.

Or a close unmarried relative of the opposite sex. Like a brother or cousin.

DIBS ON ARTHUR!

HEY!

WHAT!? NO! HEY HEY!

TOO LATE! ARTHUR WILL BE MY PARTNER!

ARTHUR!

DON'T BRING ME INTO THIS!

Athanasia glared at Angelina who clung herself to Arthur. The only brother looked up to the sky to avoid any eye contact with his crazy psychopathic sisters. An idea popped in Athanasia's head.

"Couldn't I just dance with Felix?"

Felix coughed so hard that his soul left his body. Arthur coughed hiding his laughter.

"M-me?! Having the first dance with the princess?!"

"Er, if you don't like it..."

He has all the qualifications.

Duke bloodline.

Royal guard.

Unmarried.

Good looking.

"I'd be honored, of course!"

How cool is this, compared to how Athanasia from the original book had a hard time finding an escort?

Also she didn't have her awesome two siblings, right here!

"No, but how could I dare. Oh, I mean-" Then Felix started to talk gibberish.

"There mist be a more adequate partner! How about Prince-"

"I'm with Angel."

"Oh ... isn't there anyone else?"

"Alright. There's still a few months to think about it." Athanasia sighed. She huffed and walked away.

Arthur patted Felix's back before accompanying Angelina to her own garden.

"Give it some more thought, your highness... ."

"I think she could go with Zen." Arthur suggested."

"But isn't he and his older brother in another kingdom for someone else's debutante?"

"Shit, yea. I forgot. Asher?"

"Yea, Asher made it clear that he doesn't like Athanasia."

"Still mana about the fact that she lost his favorite sword?"

"Yep."

"It's been weeks!"

"And that sword was gifted by his mother, dumbass."

"Alright, alright. Ciel also has an arranged marriage with a girl- was her name Elena?"

"Elizabeth. Practically his finance so of he becomes Athy's partner, rumors will spread."

"Causing the Phantom family to have bad reputation and so will we."

"... how about dad?"

Arthur's head snapped to his sister. His eyes wide and his farce says 'are you fucking crazy'. Angelina shrugged

"She could ask it as her birthday gift and dad doesn't wants to do something for us."

"And us?"

"Just ask for another sword or horse. I'll just ask for a couple of clothes that are not dresses. I miss wearing suits. They looked so good on me."

"Girls and boys would die when they see me in suits." Arthur smirked. Angelina punched his arm.

"Ow."

"Dick."
