A/N - I changed Thanatos sexuality to gay btw~\

Thanatos POV:

I was standing behind Athy and Father smiling. 'The day Athy has been waiting for.' When we get next to the announcer he smiles. "Make way for His Majesty, Claude De Alger Obelia." He then looks at us. "And Their Highnesses, Athanasia De Alder Obelia and Thanatos De Alger Obelia." I frown at my name but sigh and continue to look forward. When the announcer opens the door Athy visibly flinched. Everyone was looking at her. I was behind them so they couldn't see me but I could feel the stares. 

Athy tenses up and Father notices. "What's the matter?" I sigh at him and furrow my brow. Athy nudges closer to him and holds tighter. 'Get the hint!' He finally notices and glares down at the crowd. I moved out from behind him and also glared. They all started to bow and I smirked. "I can make them keep their head down until the end of the ceremony, if you want." Athy flinched again and shook her head. "N-no..." I put my hand on her shoulder. "If anyone says anything to you... I'll cut their tongue out, okay?" Her eyes widened and she started to sweat but she nodded. They started to have a conversation but I was focused on the crowd. When we got to the end of the staircase Athy and Father went to the middle. 

I frowned at how close Athy and Father were but quickly covered my mouth when I realized Athy was stepping on Fathers feet. Father lifted her off her feet so she wouldn't fall but when he set her down she did it again. I was hunched over holding my gut with tears in my eyes. When it was over I walked over to the snack table. I was about to pick up a small cake when girls started hording me. "Can I have this dance, Your Highness!?" I frowned and glared at the girls. "Can't you see I'm trying to eat?" They flinched and hurried away. 'How annoying...' I started eating my cake when someone caught my eyes. He has black hair and eyes. 'Its Anastacius.' He looked at me and gave him a closed eyed smile. I opened my eyes and he was gone. I frowned. 'Don't touch my sister and were fine.' 

I sat on the sidelines watching all of the dancing and songs. I looked over at Athy and Father who were doing the same. Father touched her back and said something along the lines of 'go ahead.' Her head turned away from me so I couldn't see what she said but it made Fathers eyes widen. She started walking away and Father reached his hand out. I smiled at his sad face. 'That's what you get.'

I was watching Athy for the rest of the time except for the few Lady's coming to ask for a dance. I glared at her and looked back to see Jenette with Athy. I was about to walk over there but I saw Athy step on Jenette foot. "Pffft..." I held my mouth and turned to the side. 'How many times is that today.' I started trembling and holding my gut. When I stopped laughing I looked over at Athy and see she's dancing with Ijekiel. I wanted to feel mad but again, she keeps stepping on his foot. 'I'm glad I decided not to dance with anyone...' I see Father glaring daggers at Ijekiel and I smile. When I see she gets invited to dance by Felix I hold in my laughter. When their done and I see Felix's exhausted expression and laugh. 

When the Debutante was done I followed Athy to find father. "Daddy!" He looks over at us. "The ball isn't over yet, right?" We both nod. "Its almost over so I thought I'd just go home." I nod again. "I was just following Athy. I didn't want to be here anyway." All three of them look at me I just shrug. "You've been looking forward to this Debutante so long, did someone bother you?" Athy flinched and Fathers eyes widen. "... Felix Robane." Felix then bowed instantly. 'I mean its not like he was wrong but... isn't this a little much?' Felix held his hand to his heart . "Yes, Your Majesty." Father glared at him. "I thought I told you to make sure the Princess was well taken care of in my absence?" Felix replied instantly. "I apologies Your Majesty. I was to careless." Father looked forward. "Were returning to the hall. It seems I was quiet for to long." I was about to follow because I didn't want to intervene but Athy stepped in.

"D-Daddy wait! Don't go!" Athy ran towards Father and latched onto his arm. "Don't be angry Daddy. I really had nothing to be upset about." Father looked back at her. "You don't need to lie. I'll find whoever it is and kill them." Athy wasn't letting up. "I'm your daughter and Thanos' sister, who would dare treat me badly?" I was watching their little scuffle with a tired expression. "I came out to find you because you left me for too long! I came looking for you because I wanted to spend time with you! So what's the point if you leave me again!?" Both mine and Fathers eyes widen and his angry expression disappears. 

We were finally about to leave but we were stopped once again by the worst reason yet. Jenette. I scowl. "Princess. You dropped this." We all look back and am met with Jenette holding Athy's ribbon. She finally noticed Father and she bowed. "Blessings and glory upon the Obelian Empire." I could see Father frowning as well. "Ah. I just realized I had dropped it. Thank you." When she introduced herself Father frowned even more. "So your the child Alpheus has taken under his wing." Jenette's eyes widen. "Have you heard of me?" Father looked at her for a moment. "You're quite bold. Is it because you were raised by Alpheus?" Jenette started to sweat. "My apologies." Father looks at her for a few more seconds before he smirks. I glare at him. "I see. Were leaving." He turns and starts to walk away. 'You better not be thinking of hurting her again...' 

When we get a far enough distance away Father grabs the ribbon and throws it. "You should get rid of it. Its been lying on the floor for hours." I nod and grab her hand. "He's right. Its dirty now." I glare at the ribbon. 

When we get in the carriage I was resting my head on the window. "Thanatos. Athanasia." I look over at him with a bored expression. "Congratulations on your 24th birthday and debut." My eyes widen. 'What... did he say?' When he sits down Athy giggles. "Heh. You're late Daddy. I've already been congratulated by the others." He rests his head on his hand. "Should I take it back then?" Athy shakes her head and starts laughing. I just think about what Father said.

'Since when did he start saying cringey stuff like that?'
