Another Princess ( LOVELY PRINCESS)

Daughter by blood?

Duke Alpheus found Dead near the hunting forest.

Imperial year 1295, 26th November : At least 8 hour was taken by Imperial guards to find out Duke Alpheus near the hunting forest. The Duke has been found dead with Princess Athanasia being injured. Her Highness and the Duke has been sent to Imperial Medical hospital where Duke Alpheus has been declared dead while Princess Athanasia is barely alive.  The detectives suspect that the killings are being done by one serial killer, the killer firstly paralyze the victim and then they cut off their limbs. The detectives are suspecting the serial killer to be a man.

Athanasia smirked. The journalists really never understand. A man? Anyways, she was resisting on the hospital bed.  Jenette's condition had gone worsen after Duke Alpheus's death. Well, it wasn't something to be happy about. Athanasia suspected Jenette to die during childbirth, she wouldn't serve her.

" I greet the Princess of Obelia. "

" .....?"

" His Majesty wishes for your presence. "

" I see, I'll go. "

Athanasia teleported Into Claude's room.

" Glory and blessings upon the Sun of Obelia. "

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

Athanasia calculated the situation. She saw Diana sitting beside of Claude, she could see the disgust and fear in her eyes.

" May I know why Your Majesty wishes to see me? "

" When will you stop? "

" Stop? Pardon? "

" Don't pretend as if you don't know anything."

" I'm pretending? Pardon? But I don't really get it. "

" You killed Duke Alpheus, didn't you? "

" Athanasia, tell your father you wouldn't do it right? You will never let your mother down right? "

Athanasia was disgusted, she couldn't understand what she had been hearing. Mother? Father?

" Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better if we don't involve the Empress in this matter? "

" Athanasia! I'm your Mother! "

" Didn't His Majesty tell Her Majesty that I'm an orphan? "

".....!"

" It's impossible for me to answer His Majesty's questions while the Empress is here. "

" .......Felix! Escort Diana to Amethyst Palace. "

The red haired knight escorted Diana to her room.

" How did she know that I'm her off spring? "

" That's not important, I'm amazed to see you being this forward. You must have come here for some death wish. "

" Definitely not. But if a father wants to kill his own daughter, then what else do I have to say? "

" I am giving giving you warning, stop this drama or I'll execute you. "

" Listen one thing clearly, I won't stop until my works are done. So stop threatening me, cause I know you can only threaten but do nothing. "

".........!"

" Alright then~ I'm kind of tired so... "

Athanasia didn't finish her words she teleported. What a great joke?! Hah! If  only,... Oh..! It was ripping through her head, she couldn't keep her anger in control, daughter? Father mother? Did she really have those? Execute? Her? Well,  it had to be accepted. For a Emperor, he could execute anyone including his own daughter with out a trial. Claude had forbidden Athanasia to enter Jenette's room. Anyway, it was never here business though. Jenette was still unaware of the death of Duke Alpheus. Athanasia hadn't seen Lucas for a while. He hadn't annoy her for a while. Usually she would have been happy about it, but now she was feeling odd. She couldn't throw out Lucas from her mind. It was as if.......

" Lucas. Shall we go there? "

"Tch.... "

Athanasia saw Jenette and Lucas taking a walk in garnet palace. Her mood became completely soured. But why? Why would she care? She wanted to choke Jenette hard. But why? She gave them a cold glare.

" Athanasia! Wait. "

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

Athanasia turned back and looked at Jenette, she was having a bad feeling about it. She took off her glasses. She could feel an inappropriate stare coming from Lucas.

" We were taking a walk. Would you like to join? "

" I'm afraid that I won't be. I'm quite busy right now. Pardon my rudeness. "

" Oh.... "

Athanasia was annoyed, did she not notice her shoulder? She couldn't control herself anymore.

" It's a great pleasure to see that my fiancee has been treating you well. Hope he doesn't make any mistakes. "

Jenette's face grew pal. Why would she address Lucas as her fiance. She had an odd feeling. She had never done it before. She noticed Lucas and Athanasia staring at each other. While Athanasia had the cold furious glare and Lucas had somehow perverted glare.

" I have to take my leave now. "

Athanasia teleported back to the tower. Those two, what kind of relationship did those two have? But why Was Athanasia feeling odd? She had never felt anything off it. She put off her coat and stood in front of the mirror from where she could see her self clearly. What was so special about her? Everyone called her a beauty. Because of her mother? She smirked and went to the bed.
