The next day, Athanasia woke up earlier than usual. She also had a hard time sleeping last night. So she decided to take a stroll on the rose garden her father gifted her on her birthday
She remembers that night. Even though they were dancing far away from her view, she can see the happiness in her father's eyes when he danced with her. As if dancing with her revives a lot of memories from someone
"Daddy, I heard that there's a family member we didn't know that was introduced today!" Athanasia faked an act. Seemingly curious and excited on the outside, yet deep down she was crying her heart out from anxiousness
It didn't take long for her to realize that this girl was an unknown character who she doesn't know fully enough. For all she knows, she might be a hidden villain that wasn't revealed!
To say that she overthinks is an understatement, but it's better to be sure than sorry
"Yes. Starting today, you'll be having an older sister. But do you want one?" Ah..that look from Claude is definitely testing her..
'He's definitely testing me..if I say no then I might get my head chopped off-'
"Y-yes! Of course! I've always wanted a sibling be it older or younger!" She saved her tongue on that first part
"..that's good" Phew..another day she survived. For all she knows, Claude might kill her if she says no since it meant that she doesn't like the new princess..
What she really didn't know is how relieved Claude got. After all, maybe the new child might make Athy uncomfortable so if she really was, he'll just arrange for the new child to enter the palace in a week or two
"She'll be transferring here tonight. And in the Emerald Palace as well" Claude informed, entirely missing out Athy's expression
