Suddenly I Became Athanasia's Cousin

Chapter 6

'Augh, my eyes........too bright. Why is he doing this when he used to harass me all day?', I thought as I shielded my eyes. 

'I know that he is handsome, but this is too..... God must have made a mistake while creating him.'

"Come here", Anastacius said still smiling. 

'How can he have everything except a nice personality!'

'What should I do? He's crazy as well.... 

This crazy woman or that crazy uncle? 

Ugh.. 

I think he's better than a woman squeezing my torso', I thought as that crazy woman handed me over to him, 'Eager to hand me over, aren't you?'

'Ahh.... I must have gotten used to him, he smells familiar', I thought as I snuggled on his neck. 

"Pfft-"

'Ahhh!!! Was he watching!!'

'Well whatever, I'm happy to see you', I started to giggle, 'this isn't any type of flattery, okay?'

Anastacius smiled again (and not his psycho smile, okay😉) 

'Wow..... I've never seen him this kind'

"By the way, who are you again", he asked as turned to 'that' woman. 

"I am Segista from Praezia, Your Majesty", she answered as she bowed. 

"No, not that.... 

I mean, your name when I dropped you off to the Harem. I don't care for your previous name", he said smiling his psychotic smile. 

'Wow...what a sadist. I think I understand how the princess feels.'

'Hey uncle I'm fine, let her be now', I thought as I tugged his shirt. 

"Elene", the woman's maid trembled as she said, " She is Princess Elene".

"Who are you to step in front of me? How dare you interfere in this matter", he asked turning his cold gaze towards the maid. 

The maid fell on her knees and begged, "Please forgive me! Please, not my life! I beg you, Your Majesty! 

The emperor opened his mouth and said, "Take her away"

"Yes, sir!"

'Oh, god she's gone. She had to be caught by this maniac'

Anastacius brushed his finger on his niece's chin and said, "It's my first time seeing my princess cry"

'So, you gonna kill me for it'

"Where's her toy", he asked Ella, "The thing she's always nibbling on"

"Ah... That is...."

Via picked the pacifier which was on the ground. 

'Did it drop when I was struggling', I thought nibbling on my thumb, 'Yuck, dirty'

"So, was it you?", he asked the culprit, "Did you make my precious niece cry"

"She seemed to be crying quite desperately", he continued. 

'Shit, my crying has summoned the devil! But, since when did I become your precious niece'

"I..... I only tried to hold her, that is all", she said tears forming in her eyes. 

" Under whose say-so?"

"Who told you that you can hold my niece as you wish?"
