"Happy birthday princess." "Happy birthday princess!" "Happy birthday princess." This was all everyone said in the morning. The maids adored their princess. They bought her gifts and baked her a chocolate cake. "Happy birthday princess. May you grow up to be healthy and happy." wished Lily. "Thank you, everyone." Replied Athy.

They helped her get dressed, overdoing it yet again and making her look like a goddess indeed. "Princess, happy birthday. You look lovely." It was Felix. He was here to get her to meet Claude. "Thank you Felix." She smiled. They made their way to Claude's palace. "Good morning daddy." Greeted Athanasia. "Good morning. Happy birthday Athanasia." He said, a faint smile on his face. "Thank you daddy. The weather is lovely. Can we ride the boat?" She asked, to which he obliged and ordered Felix to get the boat ready.

After their little ride, Athy headed to her study, the one Claude had built in his palace for her. She received countless gifts and letters, congratulating her on her birthday. The Nobel ladies sent their wishes as well. There was a letter by Jeannette. She read the letter to find a bracelet within. It was from a pair. One for her, the other for Jeannette. She wore it gratefully, missing her sister.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in." It was Ijekiel. "Ah, Duke Alpeus, do come in." She asked him to have a seat. "Happy birthday, Princess. Here's a little something I picked up when I thought of you." He handed her a necklace. It had a beautiful pink pearl on it. "Thank you Ijekiel. It looks beautiful." She complimented and accepted it. "Here, let me help you put it on. He stepped closer, held the necklace and put it around her neck. Athy didn't pay much head to it and went along. "It looks gorgeous on you." He said as he took her hand and placed a soft kiss and looked up to her.

Athy never spoke about her relationship with Lucas. It was their little secret.

Lucas appeared. Lucas?? Why was he here?

"Lord magician." Greeted Ijekiel, still holding onto her hand. "Ijekiel, I need to get going. Lucas, I'll be there in a min-" "Get your hands off the princess." "Pardon my rudeness." He let go of her hand. "I was enjoying my time with the princess, it didn't seem like she wanted to let go either." He chuckled. A bit stuck up? Or rather confident? Either way, Lucas could only think of how he wanted to get rid of him. He walked up to Athy and put his hand around her waist. "We need to leave, princess." He said and dragged her away before she could get another word in.

Of course, Ijekiel looked surprised. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. He had his doubts, but maybe his hunch wasn't wrong. Were the princess and that magician..?? He shook his head and walked out, upset somehow.

"Did that punk give you that?" He pointed at the necklace around her neck. "Ah, yes. Isn't it beautiful?" She replied. He felt... upset? Jealous?? 'Am I feeling jealous?? Is this jealousy?' He questioned his feelings.

"Why are you here? I thought you were busy?" She asked, now in the palace garden. " I felt an ick, so I came to check on you." He said, still with a rotten expression. "And of course, you were with that thing."

They walked through the rose garden. And headed back to the palace. "It's evening already.. I still have to get the documents ready. I'll get going Lucas." She said. He stepped forward and took the necklace off. "Hey!-" "If you wanna have something around your neck that bad, my hands would look much better, princess." He said as he wrapped his hand around her neck, making her look up to him. No matter how many times she looked at him, she couldn't get over how utterly gorgeous he was. Too flustered to speak, feeling the butterflies in her stomach, she just looked at him. "See, looks much better. We can continue this later." He said as we vanished, along with the necklace.

"What is WRONG WITH HIM?? What if daddy saw us?" Athy spoke to herself. "But.. it wasn't bad.." she questioned her conscience and about how she liked that. She went back to her study and got back to the documents. By the end of the day, she completed her work, handed it to her dad and returned to her palace.

"I wanna see Lucas." She wished as she went to sleep.
