My Fated Lover

Agony

Claude's pov

"Don't leave. Choose me. Choose me instead of the child that's eating away at your life as we speak!"

Everyday is like hell. Your lover who chose her child over her own, Headaches every now and then, Nobles taking advantage and barking like dogs whenever they get the chance.

"Those useless things, how dare they" I said to myself while massage my temples. "Diana" I thought looking through the ceilings. The cold and messed up room from throwing and damaging things.

I've been getting restless after so many nights. Pacing back and forth thinking what to do after what Diana told me. Diana is giving birth today and every time I think about it, I get sick to the point where I can't stop thinking about how she's gonna die because of that damn child.

"Our child, My child how can you make your parents suffer like this. How can you take your mother's life just like that. You haven't even been born yet here you are causing trouble" I said chuckling.

After some time

"Ah that wench is finally gone" My heart aches every time I remember her. "Looks like that child is born healthy" I don't know what to do anymore. That wench leaving me and her brat here.

I walked to my office so I can distract myself instead grieving for the woman. "Why did you leave me. Why? Why? Why?" I keep asking myself that question and my headaches keep getting worse and worse.

"Sire" Felix said opening the door. Felix is my personal knight. I grew up with him and knew him ever since. "I'm busy" I said to him still looking through papers. "Your majesty, Lady Diana has woke up" Felix said.

I looked at him like crazy and scratched my head. "Felix stop lying, That wench probably passed away" I said panicking. "No, she is alive your majesty". He said and I quickly stood up and ran to the Ruby Palace. "Diana" she is the only who makes me like this.

I slammed the door opening it and I saw a woman smiling. "Claude" she said in a weak voice. "Diana" I came up to her and hug her letting my tears fall down. "Diana, Diana, Diana, Diana" I kept saying her name over and over again.

She hugged me tightly and keep whispering good things in my ear. "Claude, I missed you" she said holding my face gently as my tears flow. I just let my emotions out and she just hugged me tightly and kept stroking my hair as she soothes me with her voice.

After some time, I looked at her in the eyes and pecked her lips gently. "My Diana" I stared at her and kissed a strand of her hair. She laughed a little bit and said. "I am sorry for making you worry my dear" she said putting our foreheads together.

"No, its was my fault. I said some things that I should have not said and I was foolish back then. I was scared losing you and I was not on my right mind. I am sorry for everything" I apologized, not looking in her eyes.

"I understand" she was smiling at me. My diana, my beloved, my life, my whole world. How can someone be this beautiful, How can a person be this captivating, kind, and humble.

"Claude, how is our child?" She asked. I stood up and called the maids to bring our child. "Our child is coming" I said reassuring her. "Don't tell me you haven't seen our baby" she said looking up and I just avoided her gaze.

"Claude how" She said. "I am sorry" i said bitterly. "I'm truly sorry" I said holding her hand and kissing it. She just sighed and scolded me for a minute.

After she was done, I stared at her and put her hand on my cheek and stared at her warmly. Her reddish cheeks, her plump lips, her yellow-golden hair, her pink eyes, her slim waist. Everything is perfect. I only belong to one woman and that woman is here right in front of me. If she tells me to scram, I would gladly do so. If she tells me she wants something, I shall gladly get it. I shall sacrifice the world just for her.

I am hers.

The maids knocked and I told them to enter. They held our baby and they gave it to My beloved. "Lady Diana, congratulations for birthing a healthy girl" one of the maids said.
I approached them and kissed my child's cheek.

"Thank you for bringing our girl in this world" I said to her caressing her cheek. "What shall we name her my love?" I asked. "I already thought of a name but I don't think it will be good" she said while holding the baby.

I looked at her and reassured her. "My life, whatever name you chose, I shall support it".
She looked at me smiling and said "Athanasia".
I was shocked when she said that since the name 'Athanasia' means king and eternal life.

In the Obelian Empire, a name related to immortality is only permitted to an official heir to the throne and it can only be granted by the emperor. Claude was not given such name since her mother was not from royalty. His older brother is supposedly in his position but he killed him and now here he is. The most feared and famous known emperor.

"If you don't want it, we can change it" diana said worried she might angered him. "No it's ok, Athanasia, what a great name" he said smiling. "You should hold her" she said to me but I hesitated. She gave me our baby giving me no chance to speak.

I am holding her in a uncomfortable position and she seems to hate it. Diana fixed my position and our baby looked relaxed now.
She looked at me with her big jeweled blue eyes and she grabbed my fingers with her tiny palm.

I looked at her surprised by her actions. "Awww look she likes you" Diana said cooing at the sight. I smiled at our daughter and whispered to her. "I am sorry for being late. I shall protect you, my princess with my life. I am truly sorry and thank you for being born healthy".
