Chapter 3 ~ Meeting Athanasia

Your POV

     I am currently inside Ruby Palace following Lilian. Apparently, I will be helping her take care of Princess Athanasia. I was honestly, very excited when she told me that I would help take care of Princess Athanasia with her. Getting to be with my two most favorite characters 24/7? It's a win-win!

     "So, um Lilian," I said trying to start a conversation.

     "Oh Y/N, just call me Lily." She said nonchalantly.

     "Oh okay then. So Lily? I was just wondering, how old is Princess Athanasia?" I asked, hoping she would answer.

     "Oh, she is just a few months old, but so far she can already crawl," Lily responded pridefully.     

     "Oh wow, that's wonderful! The princess must be very intelligent!" I lied.

     'Girl, I could already walk when I was 6 months old.' I thought.

     "I know right?" Lily said. "I bet she will grow up into a young beautiful and intelligent girl just like her mother!"

     I only nodded, too lazy to answer her.

     In a few minutes, we finally made it to Princess Athanasia's bedroom. By then, I was already a sweating mess. 

     'Who knew that the palace was that big?'

     When I entered the room, I immediately spotted a golden crib at the end of the bedroom. As I walked over to the crib and peered over the edge, I saw a beautiful baby girl wiggling around in the crib. She had short golden hair and she was wearing a pink and white dress, but the thing that attracted me the most were her eyes. Her eyes were like beautiful blue crystals shining in the light. It reminded me of my eyes except mine were the color of pink.

     When the princess saw me, she giggled and reached her arms out to me as if she wanted me to carry her. I obliged and picked her up, holding her tiny figure in my arms. As I picked her up, she started playing with my hair. She seemed to be having fun so I didn't stop her.

     "Oh my, it seems that the princess has taken a liking to you." Lily smiled brightly.

     "No no, I'm sure that she's happy because we are both here with her." I smiled. Lily didn't say anything, but she smiled back at me motioning that she agreed.

     Suddenly, I heard a certain someone's stomach growl. "It seems that the princess is hungry, I'll go get her something to eat," I said while passing Athanasia to Lily. As I passed her to Lily, Athanasia wailed and hugged me tight not letting me go.

     "It looks the princess doesn't want to let you go. Don't worry, I'll go get the princess' food instead." Lily chuckled.

     I raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you sure?"

     Lily smiled, "Certainly." 

     Then, without giving me another chance to speak, she left the room leaving me alone with the princess.

Athanasia's POV

     I was contemplating on what happened to me. So far, all I know is that my name is Athanasia and that I was transmigrated into Lovely Princess. I don't even know how this happened, last night all I did was take some sleeping pills, and then poof, I suddenly land into Athanasia's body.

     'I don't want to die like the original Athanasia, which means... I.Have.To.Escape.' I thought.

     As I was making my master plan to escape, the door to my bedroom suddenly opened. 'Who is it?' I thought, trying to look out of my crib. Unfortunately, I was faced the other way so I had to try to face myself towards the door.

     When I finally got myself to face upwards, I started wiggling again to face the way I want.

      'I'll never get used to this.' I thought bitterly. 

     Before I could completely face the way of the door, I saw someone peer over the edge of the crib. I was about to wail informing the maids that there was a stranger, but before I was able to, I saw the stranger's face. 

     'She's beautiful.' I thought. 

     She had long soft and wavy peach locks and her skin looked silky smooth, she was also wearing a beautiful pink and brown victorian dress with matching pink boots. And her eyes... her eyes were crystal-like, exactly like mine except her's was with different shades of pink while mine were different shades of blue. Her expression was soft and loving just like a mother's expression when they see their child, except she is somehow different. I feel like I'm connected to her in a way.

     I giggle and reach out to her, wanting her to pick me up. To my happiness she obliged and I started playing with her hair.

     'As I thought, her hair really is soft. It might even be softer than cotton and it smells like cherry blossoms.' I thought happily.

     Before I knew it, my stomach started to growl. 

     "It seems the princess is hungry, I'll go get her something to eat." She said passing me to Lily.   

     Panicking, I clung onto her and wailed in despair.

     'No! Don't go!'

     It's not that I have a problem with Lily, it's just that I prefer for her to stay. I sniffled with tears at the corners of my eyes while listening to them talk. 

     'Please don't go, please don't go!'

     Then, I heard the door open and shut. I looked up to see that Lily was gone. I was a little bit sad, but she will come back anyways.

Author - So would Y/N. -_-

Your POV

     When Lily left, I set Athanasia down on the carpet. "So princess Athanasia," I said. "My name is Y/N Aria Campbell, but you can just call me Y/N in the future when you can talk."

     The princess looked at me, "Uwah!" She yelled.

     I giggled at her reaction.

     "Do you want to read a story with me and Lily after you eat?" I asked curiously.

     "Oahh!!" She yelled excitedly.

     "Alright then." I chuckled.

     "While we wait for Lily to return, do you want to play some games?"

     "UWAHH!!"
