Scene - Ruby Palace

Athanasia - 4 years old

Athy tried to sit on the table. Her hands and legs are too small. She is constantly trying to reach the book in front of her. She is wearing a white long frock and glasses. Gosh, if Lily knew that she was still researching.. She would get scolded. Athy doesn't mind studying all day long. She knew it was her only way to get some rest. The maids over here are way to strict. They don't let Athy have rest. Etiquette, what a damn thing. She heard that she had a mother. She wondered if she has a mother then she might as well has s father too. Lily told her that She's a princess. Athy couldn't reach the book. She let out a sight. The Ruby Palace is so  calm. She came down from her chair. She put on her small chocolate colored jacket. Taking a book of pictures of trees she ran towards the garden. She couldn't let her get seen by the maids. Specially Lily. She stared running. She was bored with Ruby Palace's garden. She ran towards North. Not a single person she could see. She started collecting herbs. There were many plants she did not know of, she stared drawing their pictures and wrote about them.  She decided to visit the black tower and ask Grandpa Chief about them. Not knowing how long it had been she started running. The Ruby Palace never interests Athy. Specially the weird status. She has asked the Grandpa Chief to take her away but he wouldn't. She didn't know where she had reached. She entered in a palace. No this wasn't Emerald or Sapphire palace. Topaz place wasn't either. Was this abandoned? She did not know of. But it was maintained well. She didn't understand whether she should enter or not. She did not see a single guard. She stared at the hall. Not hesitating she entered the palace. She stared wandering around the palace. A lot of pictures, mostly of the previous Emperors.  She stared at  Picture for a long time. She read the emperor's name. Anastacious. She had heard of that name. That person was so handsome. She didn't take her eyes off. He died? If she's a princess, she must be related to that person. She had heard her Father's name  Claude De Alger Obelia . But she had never seen him.  She at first thought of Anastacious as her father, but his name was Claude, so he wasn't. Athy saw a big hall infront of her. She entered in  a room. Gosh! The room was so big! Athy stared running. She ran almost 3 times. Now she was tired. She went near the Sofa. Little did she know where she was going? She saw a tall handsome man sleeping on the Sofa. He wore on a tight rope. He had silver hair. But he was sweating too much. Athy went near him. She touched his forehead and started patting. The man opened her eyes. He was stunned to see a child.

" Sir,  You have insomnia. Which is caused for bad sleeping habits. I can tell it by seeing your eye bags. "

".........."

" Don't worry , I have  a medicine called Zaleplon. I'll give it to you. "

" Felix! Felix! What's this bug doing in here? "

" Did you call me a bug when I tried to cure you? "

Athy noticed a young handsome man with dark red hair entered the hall. His face was covered with fear. He became stabbed seeing Athy.

" Your Majesty! What's wrong!!? "

" What's this bug doing in here? Where are the guards.! "

" Your Majesty you, yourself have switched the guards from this palace. Don't you remember ?"

" Huh? When did I!"

" See, you have amnesia. You tend on forgetting things you need-"

Athy saw Felix trying held back his laughter. The man stared at her with a scary gaze. This person named Felix said His Majesty...Could this be...

" Hmm, Is this the Dancer of Siodona? "

" Huh? "

" You look so much alike. "

" Are you perhaps talking about my birth mother Lady Diana? "

"......!"

" If, so then I'm sorry I don't know anything about that Lady. "

Claude pulled Athanasia closer and roughly took of her glasses.

" My eyes? What a wench. "

" Pardon? Do you have some kind of mental disorder.? "

" Do you know I can kill you right now? "

" Your Majesty... "

" Felix! "

" My deepest apologies for disturbing your precious sleep, but you were sweating too much, if I hadn't woken up you. You could have gotten a heart attack ."

" I see.. It's Athanasia right? "

" How do you know my name? "

Claude held her hands roughly and pulled her towards him. He almost was taking her to somewhere.

" Hey. Where are we going? "

" Don't you know who I am? "

" No. "

"........"

She saw a big hall in front of her. So scary. She stared at Claude with fear. This weirdo, what was he up-to? She Felix running towards them.

" Princess, this is your father Claude De Alger Obelia. "

"......!"

Athy couldn't believe this handsome man was her father. She was going insane. No, this person was her father original one, fresh one.

" You are nothing but a mistake. You should have been never bornt. Your wisdom and knowledge has impressed me. Consider your self lucky. If you were dumb I would have killed you. Your work is to live up-to my expectations. If you don't I won't hesitate cutting your neck. "

" Father! "

" Shut up! Don't you dare thinking me as your father. "

Athy wanted to cry but not infront of this person. She couldn't believe. She was getting crazy over him. So what if he doesn't care? She loves him.. Very much! She would like to trap him inside a bird cage and make him only hers

" Felix throw this bug to its own place. "

Athy stared back at him again. It was a fateful counter for her. She was happy.

Monologue

So what if you don't love me.
I love you.
I love you so much
that it's driving me crazy.

I wondered from here to there,  I had a deep hole in my heart

I knew you're the one who could fulfil it.

I love you. I love you. It wants me to lock you in a cage and to keep you all by myself.

One-day you'll understand me, maybe after my death?

I love you more than anyone else. And no one can love you more than me.
