Fun Fact #2: Claude is an old man. He's somewhere in his late 30's, even early 40's.

•°•°•°•

Athanasia's PoV:

I don't know what happened but I can't help but to look back and forth to Claude and Yn. The two was literally silence as we were having dinner. The tension was so thick that I could cut it with a knife.

Yn was just silently staring at her plate not even taking a bite. I wonder what happened...

As I had a hard time cutting my food and before I know it my cutleries flew but thankfully Yn caught it since she was sitting beside me. This girl have some good reflexes. I didn't even thought that she was paying attention since she was staring at the void of nothingness.

3rd person PoV:

Claude would occasionally glance at Yn to see if she was eating. He just sighed and looked down at his own plate. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked Yn without looking at her. Athanasia looked at Yn to see if she'll response but nothing.

'I can't believe that she's able to keep her head after ignoring Claude' Athanasia thought. Yn finally looked up at Claude when she noticed that Athanasia had finished her food. "Pardon me your majesty but I have to prepare the princess for bed" she said as she stood up and went to the princess and lift her up from her seat. She turned around and looked at Claude once more. "Blessings and glory upon the Obelia empire" she bowed and turned around and started walking to the door. "Bye bye Daddy" Athanasia waved

-

"Claude, Claude" Yn called out as she ran up and hugged the older boy from behind. Claude was shocked from the sudden action and stood still for a second.

"Claude, guess what?" She smiled as Claude turned around to face the happy girl. "What?" He asked making Yn pout. "You're no fun" she said as she crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks and looked the other what.

"Okay, okay" Claude gave up "Did brother Anastacius did something?" He asked making Yn looked back at him and nod her head happily. " Did he...gives you a bouquet of f/f again?"

Yn shook her head as she looked at Claude with excitement in her eyes. "Did he...um.." Claude trailed off as his gaze went down to Yn's left hand where a ring was place in her ring finger.

Claude can feel his heart drop when he looked at the ring. And engagement ring. "Claude!" Yn waved her hand in front of Claude's face. " W-what is it?" He asked while looking at Yn in the eyes. "Not to close Yn" said a voice making both Yn and Claude looked where it came from. There stood Anastacius with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

"Anastacius" Yn hugged him the moment she saw him. "What are you doing here?" Anastacius asked as he looked down at her before kissing her temple while looking at Claude who just looked away from the scene in front of him. "Noting" Yn answered "I'm just making Claude guess what you did"

Anastacius looked at his little brother and his smirk grew wider. "Well it looks like he have no idea so why don't I tell him" Anastacius said as he wrapped an arm around Yn's waist. Yn just looked at Anastacius then to Claude. "That's no fun" she pouted as she crossed her arms. For some reason, Anastacius and Claude panicked seeing her pout. Something that they always do since childhood.

Anastacius looked at his brother sternly. Claude just rolled his eyes as he sighed. "Brother Anastacius is..right.." he lied "Please tell me what he did"

Yn looked at Claude and smiled. "He asked for my hand in marriage" she replied as she showed her left ring finger that had a ring in it. Claude forced a smile as he saw his older smirk. "O-oh.."

"Your majesty?"

Claude opened his eyes as he looked at Felix who called him. "What is it?" He asked "You doze off again your majesty" Felix answered. Claude just nodded his head as he picked up a pice of chocolate that Athanasia dropped when she was trying to wake him up inspecting it thoroughly. "How what the dinner your majesty?" Felix asked "It's too tense" Claude answered" Yn won't talk and Athanasia had her cutleries flying trying to cut meat. She's too brazen. She must have got that from Diana"

"Lady Diana was definitely the type to leave a lasting impression on anyone" Felix said "A year longer and I would have forgotten that wench's face" Claude said coldly.

Meanwhile....

Yn just stood afar as Lilian was singing a lullaby to princess Athanasia. Her fist clenched as she watch the princess slowly close her eyes. 'I won't leave...I promise princess'

As Yn walking through the empty hallway, she looked out and saw the mood shinning. She took a deep breath enjoying the scenery not paying much attention where she was walking. Her lips curl up a little forming a small smile in her face.

But her alone time was cut shortly when she felt a hard surface sending her fly a little back until she fell on her back. She looked up only to see the Crimson Blood knight. Felix Robane. "Oh, hey Yn" Felix smiled as he help the fallen lady up. "Are you alright?"

Yn just nodded as she looked away and held her arm. The incident that happened few days ago flashed through her mind making her amethyst eyes widen. "Is there something wrong?" Felix asked clearly worried at his friend. Desperate to erase the memory, Yn looked at Felix with teary eyes.

"Can..can I kiss you?" She asked making the red knight's grey eyes widen. "W-what?" He asked as his cheeks glow red. Yn didn't answer as she pulled Felix down by his cape and smacked her lips into his. Felix's eyes widen but soon soften as he understood her situation. Few minutes pass and the two pulled away from each other trying to catch their breathes.

"Are you okay now?" Felix asked with a smile in his face acting like nothing happened. "I-I..I'm sorry.." Yn hung her head low as she didn't want to see Felix.

"I'll walk you back"
