"Not even the best fortune teller can predict my future" —Anthanasia.
((______________))
Rosalina never confronted Diana after that.
She even stopped spying on her.
Two months passed then she heard off Diana's pregnancy.
It was during that period that Prince Claude struck.
The rebellion against Emperor Anastacius was still clear in her memory. The rebellion had happened the day Penelope was to put to birth.
From her carriage she could see the smoke coming from the palace. The carriage was immediately turned around.
The next day everyone had heard about the rebellion.
Rosalina and the Count, her father arrived at the palace at the break of dawn.
Prince Claude had taken full control of the palace. Emperor Anastacius had been killed.
Prince Claude had then pronounced himself as the Emperor of Obelia.
The political world was thrown off balance into chaos. But Rosalina was more focused on the fact that after Penelope had given birth she had died because she lost too much blood.

The baby girl that Penelope had given birth to, was raised for two years at the Margareta mansion in the country side.
The wife of the young lord of Alpheus, Roger Alpheus, had been good friends with Penelope.
After hearing about her death she was determined to take the baby girl in as her own daughter.
The baby girl was brought into the Alpheus mansion under the care of the Duchess.
While the adoption process was underway, the Duchess' chronic disease greatly affected her.
Unfortunately she passed away before she could completely make Jennette her official daughter.
Her final wishes to her husband was to take care of the baby girl and name her Jennette since the Margareta family had refused to name the child.

The nobles in the meeting hall were all shocked after hearing Anthanasia's words.
"I'm going to cut straight to the point as there's no need to beat around the bush; Emperor Claude is dead"
Most people whispered into the ear of the person sitting next to them. The others watched Anthanasia as she spoke.
"I have been greatly saddened about the news but have decided to move forward with the next step for the betterment of Obelia.
I shall take the throne of Obelia officially as Empress. I will no longer just be standing in temporarily for the Emperor.
I hope that the next time we gather it will be about the discussion of my coronation" Anthanasia said.
After seeking advice and planning with everybody, they had chosen this as the only solution.
No one was sure about when Claude would wake up.
The Empire wasn't in a stable position. Without a ruler it would become worst. Many ambitious people would find a way to take the throne.
All of a sudden, a man in the crowd who had semed to be a guard spoke up.
"The Princess wants to rule the Empire?" The man who wore the cloak slowly stepped forward.
He pulled down his cloak and everyone shrieked in shock. "As your uncle I'll need to help you with the coronation preparations"
Everyone, including Anthanasia, Jennette and Felix were shocked by the person who spoke.
The man had blonde hair and jeweled blue eyes but he wasn't the Emperor Claude who was unconscious.
Anthanasia had seen a portrait of this man before.
"I'm really sad to hear about my little brother's death" He was none other than the 'late' Emperor Anastacius.
