The Obelian Empire's Crown Prince ♛ WMMAP

3

A male infant in expensive clothes is seen taking a stroll in the garden, not even minding where he's going, but somehow, not bumping into anything.

Now that Athanasia has regained her adult mind and...

*sigh*

Made a plan to...escape. I suppose I can start my own plan now. Which is "Plan: Gain political power"

*sigh*

I have already told Athanasia about my plan, but she doesn't want to participate. At least she's helping, in her own way.

*sigh*

I told her all that and she still doesn't want to. This, I'm already tired just thinking of it.

Flashback

"So, let's re discuss our escape plan shall we. We only really need to steal some gold then run away using the dogg-"

"Didn't I tell you it's impossible, dear sister"

"Why can't it be possible then?"

"Simple dear sister. If you escape, Claude is going to die, Jennette is going to be empress, which means Ijekiel Alpheus is going to be emperor, which results to the Obelian Empire having an incompetent Emperor and Empress, resulting to the empire's downfall. If the empire gets invaded, we will be slaves, then we will die. Even though we have strong allies, do you think the other emperors would like to help a fake?"

"W-Wait, there's no way that going to happen just because Jennette becomes empress. Lovely Princess had a happy ending. And fake? What do you mean?"

"Sister, do you really think an empire can survive with a weak royal family? Haven't you noticed? All Obelian royals are either magically or physically talented. Our jeweled eyes signify our inheritance to our family's magic. Jennette de Alger Obelia's eyes, they are fake, made by black magic. She's not even our sister. The author of Lovely Princess gave you all a fake happy ending"

"W-What! So you're saying...Jeannette lived a better life than Athanasia, even though she's not the emperor's daughter"

"Yes, sister"

"I still don't want to go along your plan"

"...Wha-"

"Don't get me wrong. I also don't want all that tragedy to happen. However, I was a commoner in my previous life, I'm too weak hearted to do such things with you. I'll still help you though"

"If that's what you say. But, you will have a hard time faring against the emperor if you don't do this with me. After all, he is the tyrant emperor"

"That's fine! Have a little faith in your little sister, Brother dearest"

Flashback end

Though I understand her a bit. Royal work takes a lot of time to get used to, and is also incredibly hard. I would be surprised if she actually agreed to help me though. Athanasia has always been-

*stumble*

Where am I? Everywhere I look...

Plain looking palace...

Plain...PALACE?! This must be the Garnet Palace...
