         ╭┈◦•◦❥•◦ ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs ᴛʜᴇɴ ᴛᴡᴏ ʏᴇᴀʀs ᴘᴀssᴇᴅ, days went on by with no problem as the two twins grow.

"Lana..?" Achlys seemed through her room, she seemed to can't find her nanny in her room although.
' Hah? Where is she?? ' Achlys wanted to sulk now, on how good her nanny was hiding.

"Hmph! Nanny I give up!" She declares, although once she said that the door of her room open, to reveal her nanny that was holding an Innocent smile.
"Princess the Emperor called for you" Lana spoke gently while Smiling.

For a few second Achlys stood quiet upon Lana's arrival who was outside of her room.
"Nanny! That's cheating!" She yell out, almost wanting to cry now, she had been searching up and low around her room to only know the maid is not inside.

"What's cheating?"

"We were playing hide and seek! I told you not to go outside for hiding!"

"Oh my, seemed I have forgotten"

"Lana!"

Lana chuckled while picking her up from the ground, "I'm sorry princess.. I promise to play fair next time" Lana chuckled while going out of the room.
"Liar!" Achlys shouted, visibly upset about it.

"Felix!" Achlys calls out to brightly, the red-haired man smiled while seeing the girl.
"Ah princess, how's your day?" He asked, Achlys who's on the arms of her Nanny smiled brightly at him.

"Goodie! What about yourself?" It was normal now, upon living in the palace was quite boring since Claude was always busy.
Achlys always goes around annoying Felix a lot of the times, but the said male seem to have patience as high as the mountains.

"As always"

"I want Felix to carry me!"

"But the Emperor awaits your presence princess"

"Papa can wait! I see him everyday and I rarely see Felix!"

Which is true, Felix was always standing beside Athanasia a lot of the time and didn't have single time to spar with her a lot of the times.

Achlys had grown fond of the man, she rely her skills to be judged by him mostly therefore she trains with him a lot.
Lana hands over Achlys onto the knight with a small smile, Felix smiled brightly as he hold onto Achlys.

"Bye bye Lana!" She waved onto her nanny who's off to do another task.

Felix then continues the task to escort her to Claude, "Felix, I learnt a lot of things today.. So tired!" And like always she would tell him about what shes doing today.

Felix Chuckled, "Maybe you should take breaks?"

"No way!"

Felix tilted his head a bit, Achlys sighed and rumbled a few "Achy wants to protect Athy.. So Achy has to become smarter and stronger!" She spoke as if it was a declar.

Felix knew about Achlys's passion on protecting her sister as much, yet that fire determination never seem to fade for the next two years, which is now.

' Hm.. It reminded me of his majesty a bit ' Felix thought quietly, there's once a day Claude had muttered when the Lady was still around.

"I want to become smarter and stronger, both to keep this Empire and Her safe"

And those words still rings inside Felix's head till this day.

Achlys look up a bit "Who else would protect Athy if there was only me..? I don't want to be weak"

"But your not weak" Felix seemed to frown upon what the small princess had spoken to him, how does a child have such mindset this young?

' I don't want to loose anyone..! Because whatever happens Athanasia is the one that can love me whole! No one else ' Achlys wanted to speak that way, yet maybe it would come out of context since she's a child speaking like such.

Was there an unspoken trauma she went through? Or perhaps she's heard of someone's story like such? Maybe she's being.. Overprotective?
Question's that was left unsaid runs across Felix's mind—yet no answer seemed to be the fit.

Or... Maybe she's like Claude?

But what did she go through?
