"sis... did you... cry last night?" Thanatos was looking at Athanasia with a confused expression as her eyes were red and puffy. "I couldn't sleep because of a scary dream." Lily looked at her worriedly and turned to another maid. "Go fetch a cold towel." Thanatos left as he saw his sister was about to change. 

As Thanatos was walking down the hallway, his mind kept flashing back to the night before. He's never had a strong bond with someone unless it was familial, so being with Lucas and Ezekiel scares him a bit. Though, he does want to go further in their relationship, he doesn't want to make himself look desperate. 

"Dammit! What am I supposed to do!?" Suddenly a voice was heard from behind him. "Your Highness?" Thanatos turned around and saw Lena carrying a basket of towels. "Lena! You're back! How did vacation go? Did you have sex?" Lena's face turned red as he asked such a blatant question. "W-Well, I'll have you know, I did."

Lena shook her head and set the basket down. "What's the matter? I heard you screaming?" Thanatos sighed and sat on a bench. "Okay, so I'm kind of in a relationship-." Right as he said that, Lena yelled. 

"What!? With who!?" Thanatos covered her mouth and sat her next to him. "You can't tell anyone, kay? The only people who know are Athy and my think Lily." She nodded and looked and Thanatos with excitement. "It's with Athy's and my playmate and-." 

"And!? More than one!?" Thanatos covered her mouth again and hushed her. "And the Young Master of the Alpheus House. Ezekiel." Her mouth and eyes were wide open as Thanatos waited for her response. 

"Wow. You got the most good looking guys to fall for you.... I'm jealous." Thanatos stared at her with wide eyes before letting out a small puff of laughter. "I get more men then you, lol." She looked offended before standing up and grabbing the basket she had. "Fine. If that's all you have to say, I'm leaving." Thanatos stood up and walked over to her quickly. "Wait, I'm sorry! Lena!"

Right now sat Athanasia, Thanatos, Jennette, and Claude. Claude was silent as all ways, Athanasia was smiling while looking at Jennette, Jennette smiling at Athanasia, and Thanatos trying his best to smile while dying from the heat. 

Everyone saw Thanatos' sad attempt at trying to hide his discomfort, when Athanasia put her hand up. "Shall we head inside? The sunlight is too hot." Thanatos immediately sat up with a brighter smile than before. "Yes, I agree!" Athanasia gave a small, awkward laugh, and told the maids. 

"Thanos, couldn't you have just used your magic to cool yourself down?" Thanatos shook his head. "Apologies, but no. I've been using too much magic recently. I actually coughed up a bit-." Before Thanatos could finish, a thump was heard behind everyone. They all looked back to see Claude holding a pot while his skin was steaming. 

"Ah! Daddy! Bring Magician Lucas!" The maids started running while Thanatos quickly went beside Claude with an expression he'd never seen before. 'Worried? Or maybe pained?' Claude stared at Thanatoid while he started to use a bit of his magic to heal him. Claude grabbed Thanatos' wrist and shook his head. "You have little mana left."

Thanatos shook off the hand. "Well, you shouldn't have grabbed that. Your health is already in bad condition!" Jennette and Athanasia were surprised. Athanasia hadn't seen Thanatos be so worried about Claude since they first met, and Jennette had never seen Thanatos even raise his voice. 

"Jettie, I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but please return for the day. Maids, please see Jettie off." Jennette tired saying something else, but Lucas showed up just as Thanatos' mouth dripped a bit of blood. 

Before going to the Emperor, Lucas hastily made his way for Thanatos. The two watched as he wiped the blood and healed Thanatos a little bit. "God, you've been overexerting yourself far too much lately, Your Highness." Thanatos apologized and told Lucas about Claude. 

They sat there talking for a bit while Lucas helped Claude, but immediately when Lucas stopped healing him... he fell over. 

"Father!!"

Everything felt like it had stopped. Thanatos was dropping down to Claude with a surprised and worried expression, Lucas didn't even know what happened, and Athanasia was running to her Father. 

"Father! Father, wake up!" Thanatos was using magic unconsciously while shaking Claude. He had tears stinging the edge of his eyes while he screamed for Claude to wake up. Blood was starting to slowly spill out of Thanatos' mouth, but all he did was wipe it away without concern. Lucas had to use all his strength to push Thanatos off of his Father, while using magic to make him fall asleep. 

Time skip~~~ 1 hour later

In the bed in front of Athanasia was her brother and father, both past out unconscious. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She didn't know what happened, Claude was fine earlier today. So was Thanatos. He hadn't had a breakdown in quite a long time, and the fact that it was caused by someone he hated not too long ago. 'At least their getting closer...' She could feel even more tears as she thought that. 

"Princess. His Majesty and His Highness have stabilized, please go back." Athanasia shook her head as she stared forward. "I'll stay here." She said that, but the fatigue was starting to get to her. "I'll let you know as soon as either of them wake up.... Please get some rest." While they were trying to convince Athanasia of sleeping, a knock was heard.

At the door stood the magician that was healing Claude previously. He started walking over to Athanasia, but as soon as he stepped close to Athanasia, a groggy voice was heard. "Lucas? Athy?" 

Both looked up with wide eyes as the once asleep male rubbed his head. Lucas ran to his side of the bed and felt Thanatos' head. "Hey, are you feeling better? Does anything hurt? Do you want me to do anything for you? Here, I'll send you to that Alpheus kid." Before anyone could say something, Lucas snapped his fingers and Thanatos disappeared.

Thanatos closed his eyes, afraid Lucas might have sent him to a dungeon or something, but he instead landed on something soft. When he opened his eyes, he was met with a blushing, shirtless Ezekiel looking down at him surprised. He then realized he was on Ezekiel's bed with nothing on but undergarments (white button up and shorts. Shirt is unbuttoned ;)
