painful memory.

Oneshot : Amnesia AU. Instead of Claude losing his memories, it's Athy.

Includes : Angst and a bit of fluff? Obviously focused on Lucathy more. But, a small father-daughter moment. Claude & Lucas are constantly blaming themselves. [ Kinda out of character?]

TW : Small mention of blood.

"Princess!"

That was the last thing that she heard before fainting, as she remained unconscious. Where did it all go wrong? No one was really sure of the answer to that. Which caused a lot of chaos to break out. Felix and the maids had called for the emperor.

But, by the time Claude had arrived, it was too late. If he would've made it on time, he most definitely would have sacrificed himself for Athanasia. How did this happen? Was this event with her friends a bad idea? Or was it because of that pet she had taken in?

He should've gotten rid of that animal when he had the chance. Because of that, his daughter might as well be dead. Everyone called him, waiting for any reaction to slip out of him. All he could do was just stand there with no emotion. He couldn't think properly, was he this unlucky?

How unfortunate for him. He didn't just lose Diana. He was going to lose their daughter as well. He would be all alone. At this point, he had nothing to live for.

He was already struggling with the thought of Diana being gone. He tried so hard to keep the emotions that he was feeling inside to himself. But, it was starting to become unbearable. The pain was unbearable.

He failed. Not just at being the emperor or a husband, but as a father. He really didn't give a crap about anything else right now. What mattered most was only them. The only thing that mattered right now was his daugther. How could he live with himself?

He'd be known in the history books as the world's worst father. There wasn't much he could do. He could only think that he was at fault for this. He was driving the people he loved away. Maybe it was destined to be like this.

His heart was aching, aching so much it clouded his thoughts. Almost as if his heart was about to explode. What could he do to make this pain go away? Only one person could fix this situation. He was the only option, no one else could save Athanasia. No one but him.

"Felix."

Out of all things, his close friend's name was the only thing he could manage to say. If he wanted to save his daughter, if he could, he needed to get it together. It couldn't be too late, right? if Diana was still here, she would never forgive him. She'd be disappointed.

"The magician."

Claude couldn't say much more. But, It was enough for Felix to understand, He understood what he meant. Claude also needed to remain calm. That would definitely take some time. If he didn't pretend to be calm as of now, that would leave the palace in more chaos.

A word about this couldn't go out. Rumors would spread like wildfire and that wasn't good. He didn't really want to have to deal with that. Felix ordered everyone to clear the area and for all of the guards to search for the magician who had gone traveling off. All of Athanasia's friends were sent out.
