A 7 year old girl is running around the halls of the Emerald Palace while carrying a huge amount of chocolate.

"Princess please slow down." Lily shouted to the princess trying to catch up to her.

"Lily let's hurry, mommy and auntie might take all of my chocolates again. We need to hide this stash from them." Athanasia said while running back to her room.

When she reached her room she looked around to see if there was a place she could hide her precious chocolates. However she didn't notice that Lily wasn't the only person in the room.

Diana has been looking for her daughter for a while now since after there little bonding session she immediatepy bolted away from her and Claude. Which was very suspicious since that only happens when her daughter is plotting something.

It did not help her that Claude has been spoiling their daughter rotten. Everything that she asks Claude gives it to her, when she confronted him with this all he said to her was "She's my little girl and the princess of this empire, if she want's it she get's it."

Diana just sighed remembering that conversation. She was accompanied by Felix since Claude has made him her personal knight while Athanasia was given a familiar by her Aunt. When Diana arrived at Athy's room she saw that Lily was trying to catch her breath.

"Are you alright Lily?" Felix asked while holding Lily's arm. The gesture made Diana giggle since the 2 looked like a newly married couple.

"I'm alright, I'm just out of breath from keeping up with the princess." Lily told them while holding Felix arm as a support.

"Athy does like to run a lot, sorry about her Lily." Diana apologized to her friend which Lily just shook her head.

"Don't apologize the princess is a joy to take care of my lady." Lily said to her with a smile.

Diana entered her daughter's room and saw her looking around while holding her stash of chocolate. Diana giggled and covered Athy's eyes which caused the little girl to drop her chocolates surprised by the sudden loss of her sight.

"Who is this?" Athy asked while touching Diana's hands.

"Guess who I am." Athanasia immediately smiled knowing who the person was.

"Mommy!" Athanasia shouted which made Diana laughed and lifted her daughter up.

"Hi dear, didn't I tell you not to eat too much sweets." Diana scolded her daughter on her eating habits.

"B-but mama Athy hasn't eaten any sweets since Athy had her toothache and auntie banned me from them. Isin't it fair that I eat some now?" Athy said to her mother.

Diana nodded since it has been a while since Athy did eat any chocolates. Her sister was quite firm that Athy can't have any chocolates and told Claude not to give her any. When Claude was about to protest Vie gave him a cold look which prompted him to agree.

"Shall we visit your daddy and aunt Vie?" Diana asked which made Athy's eyes sparkle and nodded.

Both mother and daughter left the Emerelad Palace with Felix in tow and headed for the Garnet Palace. However on the way there they encountered a disgusting animal.

"Blessings and Glory upon the star of the Obelian Empire." Roger Alpheus greeted the princess while giving Diana a nod of avknowledgement.

"Your grace is your audience with his majesty finished?" Diana asked while giving a short curtsy to the Duke.

"Yes my lady, I must say the princess must be very lonely being alone in the palace. If I may suggest my son could become her highness's play mate." Roger told Diana while Athy frowned knowing what the bastard was up to.

"White doggy!" Athy suddenly exclaimed which made Felix laugh but is trying to stop it. Diana meanwhile was horrified.

"Mommy he looks like a dog so I'm going to call him Mr. Whitey. Who's a good dog." Athy cooed to the duke while Roger just stood there in a stiff posture.

"Athy don't be rude, to answer you your grace I need to ask his majesty first if he would I agree to it or not." Diana said to the duke not accepting it but at the same time not out right declining it though.

With that the three left not saying another word to Roger. While the idiot stood there with a stupified expression.
_________________________

Claude and Vie has been in the audience room for a long time now and Claude is trying so hard not kill anyone while Vie is stopping herself from banging her head against the arm rest of her chair.

The complaints that they have been recieving honestly is the stupidest thing that they have heard so far. For God's sake they have been asking them to raise the taxes for the common folk and lower theirs. The two were gobsmacked , questioning whether these idiots even had a brain or not.

And the most infuriating out of all of them is Duke Roger Alpheus. The son of a bitch had the audacity to ask...no, no let me rephrase that out right demanded in the most subtle way that his son should be the play mate of Athanasia.

Which did not please the Obelian siblings because one Roger cannot be trusted, two the child might be a spy for his father and lastly the child is a boy they don't want any boys near the little girl.

"We will decline this idea of yours Alpheus our daughter does not need any playmates especially that brat of yours." Claude out right rejected the proposal as well as insult the dog.

"Even if my niece were to have a playmate it will be decided by me and his majesty and is none of your business." Vie spat to Roger while her eyes were glowing.

When Roger saw that the two royals were pissed he quickly shut his mouth and left. When the last of the nobility left Vie pinched the bridge of her nose well doing deep breaths to calm herself.

"The stupidity and greed of these aristocrats never fails to piss me off." Vie told her brother.

"I know Vie why do you think I've nearly killed all of them. All they do is constantly bark at me." Claude said to Vie while massaging his head.

The doors to the room opened and entered Diana with Athy in her arms while being followed by Felix. The mood of the two immediately brightened Vie immediately grabbed her niece and gave her multiple kisses on her face. While Claude greeted Diana with a quick kiss to rhe lips.

"Daddy, auntie Athy met a white dog recently. Athy decided to call him Mr. Whitey." Claude smirked while Vie laughed.

"A fitting name for a dog that constantly bark." Claude said patting Athy on the head.

"Yes love that is a perfect name for that disgusting vermin." Vie said to Athy while softly pinching her cheeks.

"Claude the Duke asked me if his son could be Athy's playmate." The two stiffened.

"What did you tell him Di?" Vie asked curious of her sister's answer.

"Well I told him that I needed to tell Claude first, I didn't agree but at the same time I also didn't reject him." Claude was impressed with Diana while Vie was proud her lessons were not being put to waste.

"What a desperate fool, I swear if not for your orders brother I would have killed the guy." Vie said trying so hard not to teleport to the Alpheus mansion and commit a massacre.

"Athy be honest with mommy do you want us to find you a friend?" Diana asked her daughter and the two siblings looked at Athy waiting for her answer.

"Well as long as it's not a kid from Mr. Whitey then Athy will accept a playmate." Athy told them.

"Don't worry dear your mommy and I will look for a couple of playmates for you however there will be no boys allowed. Is that ok?" Vie told her niece which Athy just nodded not minding it at all.
