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?
Athanasius sighed as he slashed another assassin while calmly walking inside the Ruby Palace hallway. "Honestly. You would think there would be some guard or something guarding this place while the Princess is living here. How annoying."
"Hey, brat! I'm done with my part." Soleil appeared next to Athanasius.

Athanasius' eye twitched and looked next to him only to find the albino wizard in his child form. "You know you're the brat now. Right?"
Soleil's eye twitched.
"Why are you in that form anyway? I thought you had enough magic."
Soleil huffed and looked away. "I do, I am more comfortable in this form." He snapped his finger, killing the incoming assassin. "There are so many pest infestations here. Isn't this where your cousin is staying?"
Athanasius hummed in reply. "You found the black wizard?"
Soleil scowled at the mention of the ravenette. "That idiot is sleeping."
"I see."
"And he's weak." Soleil clicked his tongue.
Athanasius chuckled. "Is that so."
"Where is that snake of yours?"
"Snake?" Athanasius frowned. "Ah, you mean Noah."
"Yes, the snake. He's like one of them. Sly and cunning. Although he always acts like an innocent rabbit in front of others."
"Noah and his knight went after the leader of the pests." Athanasius said as he killed another assassin.
Soleil hummed. "Does your uncle know about this situation?"
"No. Even if he did, he wouldn't care that much about what happens to his daughter. He did massacre the whole Ruby Palace, and nearly killed her after all."
"Then this wouldn't happen to be staged by him, would it?"
Athanasius snorted. "Of course not. That's not his style. My father yes but not him. Claude wouldn't send assassins after the Princess; rather, he would do it himself personally."
Soleil hummed. "I see."
Soleil and Athanasius stopped by the main door to the Princess's room.
"Ah, here we are." Athanasius said as he slowly opened the door.
"Die!" An assassin lunged at the Prince; however, he was killed by Soleil's magic.
Athanasius raised an eyebrow at the albino mage. "I had that covered."
Soleil clicked his tongue at the blonde Prince. "Hmph. Instead of complaining, be grateful, brat."
Athanasius' eye twitched and then sighed. "That was the last of them. Dimitri took care of others from the west side. Soleil can you place a protective shield on her?" He looked at the sleeping figure of Athanasia who miraculously has not woke up to the sounds of them killing the assassins.
Soleil looked at him and then the sleeping Princess and sighed. "Fine." He snapped his fingers and a shield of light covered the Princess before disappearing.
"Well, that's that." The Prince used his magic and cleared out all the blood and bodies scattered around the Ruby Palace.
They closed the door and started walking back towards his palace.
"Have you heard anything about that stupid elven King?" Soleil asked.
Athanasius sweatdropped. It was amazing how he insulted everyone left and right. He even insulted that tyrant Emperor of Agrigent Empire. It took everything Athanasius had to stop a war being waged on both Atrevicia and Obelia because of his insult. Another fact that helped was because the Princess considered Athanasius as her older brother. He sighed deeply. "Soleil you need to stop insulting royalty. We don't need another incident like Agrigent."
Soleil snorted and crossed his arms on his chest. "As if those idiotic royals could do something to me."
Athanasius rubbed his temples and groaned. Ignoring the fact that his hand was covered in blood. "It's not just about you; it's about the people's welfare if your insults cause a war."
"Your majesty!!!" A frantic voice called out to the blonde.
Athanasius looked towards the voice and sweatdropped when he saw Dimitri's pale face. "What's wrong?"
"Your majesty did you hit your face somewhere. Your temples are covered in blood!" Dimitri exclaimed worriedly.
"He hit his head years ago." The albino mumbled while smirking.
A tick mark appeared on Athanasius' temple. He smacked him on the head. "Stop spouting nonsense, geezer!"
Soleil rubbed his head in annoyance.
"And you need to calm down, Dimitri. I'm not injured."
"B-But your head-"
"It's because I touched it with my bloodied hand."
"Regardless of that, we need to get you checked, your majesty!" Dimitri dragged the unwilling Prince towards the infirmary.
Athanasius sweatdropped. He really is a mother hen.
