"Hello, Jennette." Maria greeted her.

"Uhm, hello.. auntie." Jennette replied awkwardly.

Jennette stared at the man sitting beside Maria. She gulped and sighed.

'I guess I just have to play this nicely..' I stared at him intensely.

"And... you must be my cousin. I've heard Uh.. alot about you." She said, trembling.

Maria stood up and walked towards Jennette, "My, are you alright dear? You seem to be trembling awfully." She commented.

Maria's eyes turned towards Dion and her eyes became more.. fierce.

"Dion! What have I told you! You're scaring her!" She shouted at him as if he wasn't even her son. Oh.. right, this is the Agriche we're talking about.

"A-auntie, it's alright." I smiled.

"Anyways, what uh, brings you here auntie?.."

"Right..." Maria stopped and looked at me again. Her tone seemed more serious now.

"Jennette.. do you know about, hm, Athanasius de Alger obelia?" She asked me, with a grin on her face.

My eyes widened, as I turned to look at Dion who drew his sword out to point it at me.

I sweat dropped as I had realized my situation right now.

I'm so fucking dead.


Meanwhile, at the palace.

(sorry may not be entirely accurate to the manhwa)

"waah! You're so pretty your highness!" A maid commented with bright eyes.

"Surely, you're going to make everyone speechless with your looks!~" Another said.

"Thank you both.. and to everyone who helped me get ready." Athanasia smiled kindly towards the servants.

'Her highness is so kind!' They all said in their thoughts.

"Ahem." a voice spoke.

Felix let out his hand and smiled at the princess, assuring her that everything will be fine.

"Thank you Felix." Athy thanked him with a bright smile.

Now... a long table stands in the center, at the sides, different nobles who have contributed much to the empire. all that was missing, was their beloved emperor.

Now, an announcement came, alluring all the nobles' attention to the big door infront.

"Her imperial majesty, Athanasia de alger Obelia!"

Athanasia came out of the door, all the nobles stared at her with doubting eyes. 

Athanasia sighed and thought, 'This will be a long day...'

As they were discussing, mostly lightly arguing, a figure came to interrupt them.

The figure was a man wearing a robe, the man took off his hood and stared at them all.

"Well, it's truly a sight to behold am I right?"

Magic seemed to be appearing out of nowhere, the magic surrounded the man and his once ebony black hair, turned golden yellow and his dull black eyes turned into blue diamonds.

They all were shocked, especially Athy. 

What was standing infront of them... was a tyrant they all thought was gone.

The man grinned and looked at Athanasia.

"Hm.. it's great to meet you, my niece." He smirked.

"Won't you come greet your uncle too?"

Athy glared at him, furious.

Felix looked ready to draw his sword out at any moment the former emperor might do something to hurt the princess.

The other nobles were murmuring and confused at the scene.

"Athanasius de Alger Obelia..." Athy said with a low tone.


"Athanasius de Alger Obelia?.." Jennette gulped.

"You know him don't you?" Dion inquired with a heavy tone.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about..." I stated, obviously lying.

"Haha. You know dear. It's not great to lie." Maria said, her eyes wide open.

"O-ofcourse I know him! He's the former emperor! what person wouldn't know him?..." I tried to convince them otherwise.

"Yes. Who wouldn't know him indeed." Maria turned around and walked towards Dion.

"But you see.. I have some... business with him." Maria's gaze turned towards me. It was cold and empty as ever.

"But, how will you find him? A-as far as I know, he's already dead." I shrugged.

"You seem like you're lying." Dion said.

"Hey! we're cousins! I wouldn't do something as 'lying' to family!" I shouted at them, trying to convince them that I wasn't lying.

"You surely don't seem like the girl to lie." Dion replied.

"See!--"

"But looks and actions can be deceiving."

DAMN IT! This is getting out of hand... how do I get out of this situation??!!!

Before anyone could say anything else, a huge thud was made that caught our attention.

The door infront opened and there came Jamie alongside Roger!

Holy Sht! this must be my lucky day. Oh thank you Lord!!

Roger was panting, looking at Maria whilst Jamie was stuck with nothing but confusion at the situation, same with me too!

You know what, this is the first time in my life I've actually ever felt this thankful to you Roger! Sorry I ever judged your character!!

Deep inside, I was praying and thanking the Lord for this another chance at life!! HALLELUJAH.
