Claude's eyes narrowed with amusement as he scrutinized Aurora skipping away gleefully from him, fading in a distance as she get farther and farther.
Images flicked by in his aching head. Images of her, in particularity.
Of her white, charming smile. Her ivory skin. Silky, blonde hair. Her sparkling orbs like crimson gems framed with long, thick lashes. Her musical laughter. The body, the face. The brazenness. It was like.....
Aurora reminded him of someone from a long time ago.
What the hell am I thinking? He thought, irritated. A girl, that silly thing is just a naive girl. She's useless to me.
And yet, Claude's flesh had secretly burned when her small fingers graced his arms, and it still does.
The wind, blowing around the lake, suddenly felt cold. Wrapping him like the way that certain D'Grantaine had moments ago.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!".
Claude flinched, his peace destroyed just by hearing that antagonizing voice from an antagonizing human being.
Alexei D'Grantaine ran beside the Emperor, breathing between heavy pants.
"Aurora... She's a sister to Samantha and you." Claude pinpoints out.
The knight straightened himself, a wide smile spread across his face. "My baby sister, Your Majesty! Aurora Marinet Lucifen, The precious rose of our entire family!".
A small smirk tugged the corners of Claude's lips as he savor that girl's name in, contemplating each meaning of her epithet. Aurora, dawn of Obelia. Marinet, intelligent. Lucifen, beauty of the devil.
He knew why she's named like that, and it suites her just perfectly. Alexei being that kind of person whom will likely blabber Claude to death, once mentioned about generations of ladies in his mother's side having three names with all the two initials of it all being the same.
And the genes of course, no other people besides them have their jewel eyes and hair. Alexei's two other sister failed to have them, that's why Aurora is treasured. They hope she could carry those genes on by breeding sooner or later.
Though Claude sees the young woman as those who throw tantrums just to not get married (And the fact that she had to marry somehow irritates him).
But we're not here to talk about that, right? This is our dear papa Claude's page. Not Aurora's.
It was a long time since a woman in his interest entered his audience chamber but oh well, Claude could give it a try since he has nothing to do but drink and suffer pain due to his damn headache.
And he sure could use a distraction to keep his mind drifting to that other girl who calls herself his only daughter. That little wench named Athanasia who casted 'witchcraft' so she could fool everyone around her including him.
Of course, she's gone now. Disappeared a couple of days ago when he attempted to end her life once and for all with his powers.
Athanasia had people in her fingers, serves her right that he fucked her up in front of all those gossiping high-born guests. And that face she made after that.... It just blots out everything else in this paining brain.
To add up to his misery, Felix Robane won't stop pestering him about the little blonde witch. Saying absurdities like how Claude 'loved' her and did everything with her. And because of his care for 'his' kid, Felix said he saved her from death by absorbing the magic in her soul.
That's why he was left unconscious for a serious period of time. And the 'reason' why he got this sudden case of amnesia. It's also why he's in favor of the airhead Alexei these days. He'd rather listen to the little shit's pathetic talking all day long than the red-head's endless pleads and alleges regarding Athanasia.
Please, as if I 'loved' anyone to he extent that I was willing to give up my life for that person. He thought, revolted by that idea of affection.
Well, that's what Claude thinks. I'm just here to narrate as second P.O.V.
"Send a letter to your father in your family's ancestral palace in Charlemaigne." our gold-haired man said as he once more glimpse at where she touched. "I want to see his youngest daughter in an audience with me."
