[Hiatus] The Apathetic Prince's Jewels (wmmap fanfiction)

Refused again

Leo was basking in the sun, it was peaceful until..... Felix came. "Your highness his majesty has called you!!" Felix said in all excitement. His voice cheerful and loud. "Why?" It had been 3 days since Claude asked for forgiveness. "It is to meet your younger sister!!!" Felix exclaimed not hiding the fact that he was extremely happy. Leo's lips twitched in annoyance. "So he wants me to meet the child of the woman who i despise." Leo said in a mocking tone.

It was no secret that the the one and only prince hated and despised the presence of the 2nd Empress that took over his mother's position but did no duty that a Empress should do. Leo not only took over the court affairs but also the palace affairs that were supposed to be handled by the Empress. This made even the nobles not accepting Diana. Ofcourse Leo supported these nobles and Claude couldn't kill them which caused even a greater rift between the Father-son duo.

Leo despised Diana openly and no one could do anything not even the Emperor. This just displayed that Leo had way more authority and support than anyone in the palace. Even the commoners supported Leo. Many riots took place and there was a lot of political tension. Under such circumstances Claude had no choice but to Strip Diana of the Empress title and this made Claude dote on Diana way more.

"What's the name of that thing?" Leo asked in a non caring tone. "The princess's name is Athanasia de Alger Obelia your highness." Felix answered in full respect and admiration of the name. Leo scoffed. "That woman dared to give such a name to the child even though there's already a crown prince? Her intentions are so clear." Leo said in mocking tone purposely to hurt the pride the most feared knight and it actually worked Felix had a pained expression. "I am more than sure lady Diana had no ulterior motives and just wanted the princess to not suffer." Felix said protecting the pride of the deceased Diana. "Then she shouldn't have given birth to the child. She should have killed the child and stayed alive then his majesty would have been happy and everything would have been great and the child wouldn't suffer at the hands of his majesty's anger or grief." Felix shut up and didn't dare to say anything further. He couldn't muster up the right words and was at a loss as to what to say.

"Anyways i am not going. I have no interest in such things as family meet up." Leo said in a strict tone. "But-" Felix opened his mouth to protest but soon shut up as Leo glared at him and dangerously growled. "Leave and don't come to me for such trivial things again." Leo's mood was now sour and he quickly went inside his room sat on the balcony chair and sipped his tea. Drinking his favourite tea made his mood a little better.
