TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Eighty-Five: Arthur? No

Angelina had watched Athanasia write down rejection letters from all the party invitations she, Angelina and Arthur had received next to Claude's bed. As she did Angelina continued her inspection on her father.

Cursed energy was flowing around him, its so much that Angelina had to practically cover her mouth and nose with her hand.

"Rejection letters?" Felix asked.

"Since she's still receiving party invitations at a time like this ... ." Lily frowned.

"There have always been a good amount of parties at this point in the season, but lately she's been receiving more than usual."

Felix's expression darkened.

"That's probably because of the rumors."

"Rumors?"

"There have been rumors going around that his majesty is seriously ill."

"The people who have heard the rumors want to ask their highnesses to see if they're true."

"What? Isn't his majesty's donation top secret?" Lily asked, alarmed.

"Yes, it is but ... it seems that the word is traveling fast."

"But ... that ... how... "

"That's why I need to tell the princess-"

"Lily, Felix." Athanasia stepped outside the room to see them.

"Something is strange. I think news of daddy's illness has gotten out." She said.

Angelina smiled. She's always been so sharp. She thought to herself.

"The letters keep mentioning daddy. It sounds like they're trying to get some clues out of me. Im pretty sure daddy's condition isn't known by just anyone. Im not sure who's deliberately spreading these rumors."

Felix and Lily were taken back.

"As expected of the princess ... you released it. You're so clever."

"I was struggling with how to bring it up to you ... ."

"Bring it up?" Athanasia titled her head.

"Bring what up?" Arthur walked to them.

"Your highness!"

"Arthur!"

The three were surprised on how he appeared out of nowhere. Arthur grinned.

"Payne and I are mastering our teleportation. So I'm here."

"Of course." Athanasia giggled.

"Hey, sis. Did you notice how the letters keep wanting to get us to talks bout dad? Practically all of them are alike." Arthur then frowned.

"You noticed it too?"

"Their highnesses are truly clever." Lily muttered.

"There's something that I must bring up now." Felix said. The two siblings looked at him.

"Alright. Let's go. Angelina?"

"I'll stay here. You can tell me later." Angelina waved her hand and smiled at them.

"Okay then. Let's go."

Athanasia, Arthur and Felix sat down in a private room.

"There was a time when his majesty was sick like this. Back then, we were able to keep it a secret, so there weren't any problems...  but things are a little different now that the nobles found out."

Arthur and Athanasia tensed.

"Once they realize that his majesty is in poor health, they'll rise and voice their dissatisfaction."

"Assholes." Arthur muttered.

"In that case som,done will always have to act as his majesty substitute and take over."

"By substitute you mean ... ."

"Yes, princess. Since you're the oldest and the crown princess. It's only natural for you to take over his majesty's duties until he recovers." Felix said.

"I see." Athanasia sighed.

"You can leave the nobles to me." Arthur stated.

Athanasia and Felix looked at him.

"Pardon?"

"I'll make sure the nobles keep their mouth shut until dad recovers." Arthur smile.

However that smile-

Looked like Claude's wicked smile.

I swear to god you're becoming like dad more and more every day. Athanasia said.

Hehehe, I'll take that as a compliment. Arthur chuckled.

"May I ask how, my prince?" Felix asked.

"Well since practically all of my friends are from respectable and powerful families. I'm sure they'll lend a hand." Arthur was chuckling wickedly.

Both Athanasia and Felix shivered.

"Hehehe, now if you'll excuse me. I've got some nobles to deal with." Arthur got up and teleported away.

"Why do I have a VERY bad feeling about this-" Athanasia was cut off when she heard.

"YO CALE! WE NEED CIEL, ASHER AND ZEN! WE'VE GOT SOME PATHETIC NOBLE ASS TO BEAT!"

"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! WHO'S FIRST?!"

"LET'S CHECK THE LIST!"

In that moment Athanasia knew, she fucked up.
