What if Anastacius had a son. Athanasius De Alger Obelia is the crown prince of the Obelia Empire despite his father being 'dead'. How will the story change?
Anastacius looked at the window with a stoic expression. Suddenly he noticed a movement outside. "Hm?" He looked at the redhead boy who had guarded Athanasius mount his horse. The redhead took out his spear that Athanasius gave him on the battlefield and killed the guards stopping him from leaving.
The door to Anastasius's office slammed open. "Your Highness! There's a boy who's leaving the palace with one of our horses. The guards are stopping him but he-"
"No. Let him go." Anastacius said without looking at the guard.
"Y-Yes, your highness." The guard bowed before leaving to inform the others.
Anastacius sighed as he watched the redhead leave the Empire. He wouldn't admit it, but he was glad that the redhead had gone to find a cure for his son.
A knock broke him out of his thought. "What is it?"
A maid stepped in and bowed. "Your majesty, his highness wishes to see you."
"I see. Leave." Anastasius said coldly.
The maid flinched before leaving.

Athanasius's bedroom
Anastacius looked at his son who was awake.
"Y-You came." Athanasius said weakly.
"You expected otherwise." Anastasius said as his lips twitched upwards.
Athanasius chuckled weakly before coughing. "It seems I was wrong."
"What is it you wanted to tell me, Athanasius?" Anastacius asked curiously while frowning.
"I want you to know that during the short amount of time that we were together. It meant a lot to me even if you don't want to show it, father." Athanasius smiled weakly before closing his eyes once more.
"Athanasius?" The blonde Emperor's eyes widened with worry. He placed his hand on his son's pulse. His pulse is weak...He won't...Anastacius bit his lip in frustration as he looked at his son's face, which had gone paler than the last time he visited him. He didn't want to admit it, but it seemed that time was running out. Damn it...

The Dark Forest
"Tell me, human, why did you step foot in this forest where no one has returned." The raven-haired elf said as he looked at the redhead who was standing on the ground after their battle.

Dimitri frowned as he panted. "I'm here looking for a cure to a poison."
"The cure, you say? And who is poisoned?" The raven-haired elf said with an amused expression as he played with his sword.
