The "Sickly" Prince

Chapter 5

Moon Palace.

"...Why the hell are you here?" Lucian looked at the little cute girl infront of him, it was Athanasia.

"I'm here to discuss something important. Athanasia completely let go of her former cute acting and had a serious expression on her face that didn't fit her 'age'.

Lucian frowned and just looked at her while raising his eyebrows."hm? I cannot think of anything that the two of us would have to discuss about. Despite being siblings we don't really know eachother."

Athanasia rolled her eyes. She was certain that the arrogant lil teenie infront of her was also from the modern age. Two weeks ago when they were having tea and snacks with their 'Father', she intentionally dropped many hints at Lucian.

"I know that you are from the modern age, aren't you?" Athanasia wore a serious and confident expression.

Lucaian remained still and stared at Athanasia in silence.
Athanasia also stared back at him, waiting for his answer.

After 5 minutes of silence. Lucian finally opened his mouth to answer. "...No. I'm not."

"Huuh?!" Athanasia was stunned for a moment before she finally let out a questioning sound.

"No no I'm sure you are from the modern age. Stop lying to me!!!" She got up and walked closer to him.

Lucian shamelessly denied and turned his head to the side ignoring her. "I'm not lying. I have no clue what you are talking about." He simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Damn aren't you too shameless. Talking about tv and using modern slangs but still acting like you aren't from the modern age." Athanasia mercilessly smacked him on his forehead.

"Ouch! How can you hit me??!" Lucian looked at her with an accusing gaze.

"Tch. Then stop lying already and admit it!" Athanasia rolled his eyes at him as she let out an hmpf.

"Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm from the modern age! Are you happy now?!" Lucian still felt the pain from the smack and rubbed his forehead.

"Yes." Athanasia showed a happy smile because although she was sure that he was from the modern age, she still felt anxious before.

"So from where are you? Are you also from Korea?" Athanasia asked him with sparkling eyes. She was happy to have a fellow reincarnator here.

"No, I'm from Japan." He then glanced at her and asked her seemingly casual if she had 'also' read the novel.

She imidantly became excited."Yes! I also read the novel [Lovely Princess]." She smiled.

"Oh~ is that so?" Lucian turned his head to the side while his gaze darkened. He then looked at the corner of the room for about 10 seconds before he withdraw his gaze.

As expected she was the real FL. Lucian's face returned to normal and faced Athanasia again.

"So tell what are your future plans? As far as I know you aren't suppose to have met Claude so early nor to have met me at all." Lucian looked her straight into the eyes.

She felt uncomfortable and avoided his gaze. Athanasia then became serious once again and faced him straight on.

"I..I accidentally met him earlier. But I already decided to run away before I turn 18. He may treats me a bit better now but as soon as he gets bored of me and meets his 'beloved' daughter, I will for sure die."

"Hm? Is that so~" Lucian listened to her lil dramatic foreshadowing with a bored expression.

"Hey I'm being serious right now!" Athanasia kicked his leg when she saw his bored look.

"Yes yes. So you want me to help you?" Lucian asked her with a sly grin.

Athanasia hesitated a bit before nodding. "Yes I hope you can help me or better said cooperate with me. For sure you also have some plan, don't you? Mind sharing them?"

"Hah. I only wish to live a comfortable live as a lazy prince. As for the matter of cooperating with you...I agree. As long as it won't bother me too much, that is." Lucian leaned back onto the sofa lazily.

Athanasia was glad and thankful to hear that the other was willing to help her."Thank you."

'Besides his annoying personality. He's still okay i guess.' Athanasia thought.

'What a dumpass. She's not very intelligent. Just randomly trusting a stranger. Even a 5 yo knows better than her not to trust strangers easily.' Lucian secretly roasted her in his mind.

Hospital???

In one of the many rooms a boy was lying on the bed. He looked around 11-12 years old. He had slightly longer black hair that reached his shoulders and long bangs that covered his forehead and most of his eyebrows.

The boy had his eyes tightly closed. He was in a coma. It's been so for 2 years now.

The privat room was unbearable quiet. Finally someone opened door ending this strange silence. It was a man.

He looked like he was in his mid 20's. He looked quite handsome with his gorgeous emerald eyes and long hair that reached his waist. He walked to the bed only stopping when he was one step away.

"Hello Jules, I'm back again. Let's start a new story." The man then continued to sit down onto a chair. He took the book lying on the shelf next to the bed and proceeded to read it aloud for the unconscious boy.

"Once upon a time there was a little noble boy living in a big castle with only his three servants keeping him company. That was until he met his two friends, Jules and ???....."
