AthanasiaPOV :
" humm..m"
I opened my eyes slowly

where am I ?

It is my room?

" princess!!! you woke up !!"
lily run toward me .
she seems worried .

she hugged me tightly .

"I m soo happy that you'r okay , I was sooo worried ."

lily . she is always the only one who worry about me .

I hugged her back

"sorry for worring you  Lily ,
what happend ?"

"His majesty send guards to surch for you but they couldn't find you , when I come to clean your room at dawn I saw you were in the room sleeping , you had so much blood , I thought i would lose you ,but you wernt injured  "

Lily explain to me what happend.when I was sleeping
lucas probably is the one who  put me here .

I told him that he can come in the ruby palace as a price for helping me .

but I suppose that someone as strong as him doesnt need it .

so I will surely never meet him again .

I m not that close to him but we still worked together

I wish I was able to see him a last time.

*sigh*

lily told me that claude sent kinghts to find me .
maybe it is jennete who told him to do that ,or he was just obliged to do that because of his duties as an empror
I m still a princess after all ,

but there is one more thing it looks like they found carax's body

it must be lucas doing .

"princess athanasia his majesty want to meet you ."
a maid enter my room and told me that .
he must have a lot of questions ,
me and carax was found in the same time .its suspicious

" okay .I will take a shower, have breakfast then go see him"

the maid flinched .

" but princess his majesty is wating you should just dress up ."

in the past I was like that i shower then dress up and go without eating before jennete come because he only see her when she is with us .

" since when a maid tell her master what to do?" I answer quite coldly .

the maid looked shoked
"I-I m sorry I didnt mean to ..."

" its okay you did your job so just go .
Lily help me dress up ,please."
I took a shower then dress up as normaly as possible unlike before when I wake up sooo early and dress up soo formaly to meet him .

lily used to scold me because repeating the same thing everyday  made me tired

one day I even collaspe , I really worked hard for nothing .

I walked to the garnette palace 
its been a while since I last come here .
from the day of claude's birthday

after all there is no reason to come anymore .

I approched claudes study room .

I saw sir robane standing by the door
he notice me and bow down

"blessing and glory upon the sun of the obelia empire your hightness "

"greeting sir robane it s been a while , I believe you'v been well?"

"yes princess, and please just call me felix princess.
I heard you disappear in the middle of night I 'm happy to see you are fine"

"thank you felix .
is his majesty here?." felix seem surprised that I call claude his majesty I used to call him daddy .

" yes he is waiting for you "

I enter the room
there he was .
its been a while ,since I saw that cold face .

" its been quite a long time ."

" yes , your majesty you look fine."

the both of us spoke with a cold voice .
the atmosphere of the room went down.
"why did you take so much time?"

" I was preparing your majesty."

"it was an urgent call."

" then would you have like it if I come to see you with my nightgown? "

claude look a little suspisous
I never ever spoke like that to him .

" do you know why I summon you here today?"

" I suppose its to ask  me about the assasins."

" you see , you use your head a little now tell me what you know , are you with the assasins ,where were you?, and who killed that bastard ?"

just like I expected .

should I tell him that I killed him? nothing will happend.anyway .

" I m not your majesty, in the middel of night an assasin attack me however Forunalty I was still awake so I survived after that , I asked him where is the boss  then I went to kill him."

" what?!? the princess?!" " felix who heard my words couldent believe it

" whench , what are you saying ?"

" if his majesty doesnt believe me then you can ask Lily to show you my dress
she was dirty because of the blood of the boss . "

".......how did you do it ?you'r going to tell me that you just killed him?"

" his majesty doesnt need to know that ."

" what do you mean?" claude frown

" whether I say it or not his majesty won't believe me so there is no need to know
what you need to know is that the boss is killed thanks to me ."

"......" he looks at me with suspicion

I was completly diffrent so he must be dumbfonded
he cant even answer back proprely.

" dont worry your majesty , I m not asking you to  publicy that I killed the boss of  those assasin , you can say that it was the imperial knights .....however I want a reward ."

if he told the nobels that I killed the boss they wont belive it they will just say that the boss was weak and that the imperial palace are not competent

this wont do me any good and neither to claude too .

" a reward ?"

you always need to take every opportunity for now .

I m not powerful enough , the place where I live is even the palace of the concubines , the palace that everyone look down on .

" yes your majesty ."

".....you sure are confident to talk to me like that ."

" I m not sure what his majesty mean I dont think I offend you I just want to be paid for my hard work  ."

" *sigh * then what is it that you want? ."

'I suppose she want to be moved to the emraled palace  .' 

" you can move to the emraled palace ."

" no your majesty , this is not what I want ."

" ...??  then what is it that you want ?"

" I want you to give me the ruby palace ."
" what ? but you are already living in it."

" this is not what I meant."

"then?"

" I live in the ruby palace but its not my palace .
I want to be the one responsible of the ruby palace, the budget , the maids everything that concern the ruby palace is under my controle
I want it to be mine .

I want it to be under my name in the documents ,

unless it concern you dicrectly ,his majesty doesnt have the rights to complain if I change things in the ruby palace ."

until now I only lived in the ruby palace and it was claude or someone else who took care of it .
even if they really didnt do anything for it ,they just did the strict minimum
because they dont want to lose their money on it .

specially that I was the only one who lived in it
it was like an abondon palace ever since all the concubines died .

claude wouldnt care about it ,
he will just give it to me right away .

I wouldnt benifice anything if I ask to be in the emrald place .
I will just be look down on again since that palace  is where jennete is .

claude look at me for quite a long time then.
"alright then you can have it ."

" can his majesty give me the documents?"

" what ?you dont belive me now.?" he looked at me coldly to scare me

yes I dont .

" not it all you majesty but it would be troubelsome  to prove it if something happend if I dont have the documents "
I smiled as if to look innocent.

"...." claude took some papers .

" here write your name here."

I write it then now the ruby palace is officially mine.

I took the documents .

"thank you your majesty , blessing and glorie upon the sun of the obelia empire ." then I turn around and leave the room .

leaving felix who seem surprized and claude dumbfonded

now that I have a real place where to live and that I own it I can move a littel forward .

first ,I need to change the ruby palace
it is not decent for a princess.
since it was a palace for concubines .there are a lot of things..... hummmm.. mature?

I faced that naked woman statue in front of me ...........that was in the ruby palace .

* sighh*

there are a lot of things to do .

alright first lets meet with the maids .

I went to see Lily then called everyone in the palace .

the servents are wispering to each other not understanding what is happening .

I faced them then .
" hello evryone ,I have an annonce to all of you .
from now on the ruby palace is under my responsability ."

" what?!"

all of them look shocked .

" yes , you heard right , from now on your salary and problemes are under my responsability . if you have something to report .then come see me .
there is also things that I will change .
I will start with- "

" wait ! it doesnt make sense how did you get it just like that ! you think we will belive you ?!" a servent spoke .

I showed him the documents
an the all of them are silent now .

" now that it was proved . listen to me 
dont keep thinking about how I get it
just remember that I get it .

and ...
right now I can fire the all of you ."

" what?!?! whyyy?!"

" you seriously dont know? until now the all of you kept on stealing things from the palace I dident say anything but now that it is my palace things will change .

I will give you a second chance .

I will let you work.

you will give back the percious objects you stole and for those who already sell them their sallery will be cut in half .
if you dont like it then you can change work ."

the all of them look sooo shocked but they couldnt say anything because normally someone who steal from the palace is directly in the dangeon .

thats why its better to keep them to treaten them .
maybe I m cruel by thinking like that  but I dont have a choice.

"also Lily is now the responsible of all of you ,if you dont do your work right she will tell me .

of course I will also do my part and take good care of this place so there will be no diffrence between you and the other servents"

I finished my speech  and went to my room  .

there are a lot of things to do
and jennete birthday is close so there will be a party and I must attend  . or I will seriously be the forgotten princess.

okay let's go to work .

end of athanaisa PoV
Lucas PoV :

I finnaly finsh it
it took me a long time to do it.
it wasnt easy to find the perfect materiel .

I ' v been working on it since I come back to the tower .

I helped that girl to get to her palace  .

That bastard 's body was discusting so I preferd to teleported to the palace .

plus.. I think the princess will need it
it would be a shame if she go to the dongon before she keep her promise to me and to give her " that " .

I smirked while thinking about the future events .

its going to be fun.
