Athanasia indeed got lost on his way, when she was picking flowers. And end up in this palace.

"𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲'𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.." Athanasia said, looking around. Han seo still beside the tree watching her go around like what he's remembering from the manhwa.

Han seo hasn't said it, but he likes how adorable athanasia's voice is. He wondered if what kind of voice does claude have.

'𝙄 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩.' Han seo thought, while still watching athanasia walked around the palace.

'𝙒𝙖𝙞𝙩... 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩? 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙄'𝙢 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚.... 𝙈𝙚𝙝, 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙙𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙.' He said making a bored cat expression.

Han seo saw athanasia go in the bushes, he followed but hides on one of the tree. He guessed that athanasia has finally found where she would hide her treasure.

Han seo is now walking back to his palace. Which is obviously not that hard to find because it's looks like a rundown place.

He went in the door, when he was met with an old lady in maid outfit.

"𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲, 𝐡𝐮𝐡. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐚𝐧." The lady said glaring down the little ginger.

Han seo only looks at her bluntly. "𝐇𝐮𝐡! 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭!?"

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭? 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮?" Han seo said. Annoyed by her tone. He noticed faster, that Rian wasn't treated well in his palace and also seems to be slave for the maids. So why would he respect her, When they didn't even respect the Prince?

'𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪.' Han seo didn't like the maid, just when he woke up. That is also why he wanted to take a fresh air then met athanasia.

"𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦!? 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭! 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭!"

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤." Han seo tsk.

'𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙. 𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙙.'

"𝐇𝐚! 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞!𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞! 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝! 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧!?" The old lady, shouted but now louder.

'𝙃𝙖.. 𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩. 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮?'

Then suddenly, he was dragged. Dragged by that old lady. She had a strong grip on his hand making it sting. "𝐇𝐞𝐲! 𝐈𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬!" Han seo shouts, but the maid didn't even ease her grip, instead she even shoved him into a room.

Glaring down at him, the maid took a whip and hit him with it. Han seo tightly closed his eyes and tried to protect his head.

"𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫! 𝐘𝐨𝐮! 𝐀𝐫𝐞! 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠! 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧! 𝐀! 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬! 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝! 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫!!"

"𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐍𝐎 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓! 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥.." The maid stopped her whip from hitting the Han seo.

"𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮." The old lady maid aggressively hold his chin making him look at her.

"𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞." The old lady smirked, then shove his head to the ground.

After throwing the whip on the little ginger's head, she left.

Han seo, huffed and hissed from pain. Weakly holding the part that's been hitted by the whip with trembling hand.

'𝙃𝙖𝙝𝙖... 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩..' He said as he laid down.

He cursed the one that reincarnated him. He appreciate that he was able to watch his favorite manhwa come to life, but being reincarnated with this worst people!?

'𝙍𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩...'

He tried to stand, despite having so much pain from his body. He stands. Wobbly walking to his bed. He sigh as he finally laid on his bed, not that soft but it's more better than a hard floor.

Can't bear the pain, he just slept than putting at least a bandage on hus wound.

Han seo thought that he was whipped because he went out and did not tell them. So he did not go out for awhile, but what he thought is wrong.

He was always whipped before dinner, with reason or no reason. He was whipped and was never given a food. He always slept, with a pain on his body.

It has been a 3 days, since he hasn't gone out to see what athanasia is doing or have she met claude, because of the pain in his legs and arms and back.

'𝘼𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩, 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙎 𝘼𝘽𝙐𝙎𝙀𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏!!' He shouted internally, closing his eyes from pain as he accidentally opened one of his wound.

Abandoned, getting abused, getting assassinated. What a tragic life Rian have..

Han seo curses the maids, ever since his second day on his life in this world. He slept in pain of his body after getting whipped for no reason.

He breath in and breath out to ease the pain. He stands up walking through the door.

'𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙬 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚, 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚. 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚" Han seo curses, as he slowly make his way through the door. No maids were walking anywhere at the palace, they seemed to only get put when it's time for eating or at night. They're like a bat, you can say.

They even sometimes just go out to whipped Rian. Such an entertainment, right? Don't worry, they'll go to hell.

Han seo is now at the forest, he was last in where he saw athanasia. He walked through the forest until he saw a familiar place.

The Garnet Palace, he sat on the tree when he saw a gold angel statue. There he saw athanasia looking at it, admiring.

'𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙝𝙬𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙗𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨' he thought sitting still, to not let any wound hurt.

Han seo looked at the gold angel statue that is shining from the sun's reflection.

'𝙒𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢? 𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙚.' He thought, as he watches Athanasia went near the statue.

'𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚'𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙' Han seo said in his thoughts. Chuckling in his mind after what he predict did happen. He did read the whole story after all, and he has a good memory especially to his favorite manhwa that he re-read many times.

Han seo turned his head around to see two figures of men. Just by the color of their hair, Han seo immediately recognized them. After all, that's what he came here for.

The two people that stands and towering behind Athanasia is none other than...

Claude de alger Obelia. The emperor.

And Felix Robane. His majesty, the emperor's loyal knight and assistant.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭...." Claude spoke, looking down the little child that is in front of multiple angels.

Athanasia flinch, as she nervously said on her mind, '𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚, 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚. 𝙏𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙢!' She repeatedly beg. As she slowly turned around just to see the person that she put on the bottom of her to list to meet.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞?" Claude said, glaring down to Athanasia, while Athanasia became a frozen ice.
