"𝐔𝐡𝐡.. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤.. 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐮𝐦𝐦... 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲..." Han seo said with a nervous smile and a sweatdrop in his left cheek.

They're currently walking down the empty hallway of the Garnet Palace, which is owned and lived by the emperor, Claude himself. With Felix carrying the little ginger in his arm quietly walking, and Han seo who is now the forgotten prince, Rian is trying to reason himself out to not meet the characters.

'𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙝𝙬𝙖!!' Han seo panicked mentally, cursing himself for being caught and not listening quickly to his instincts.

He then felt Felix stopped on his walking, looking in front he saw a glamorous looking door, with a shiny doorknob.

'𝘼𝙝... 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙬..' Han seo thought, making a deadpan face. Knowing that this is where the two main characters are located, he has been screwed.

Felix knocked on the door as he spoke, "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲, 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬."

As a gentle deep voice inside response with, "𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧."

'𝙄'𝙢 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥..' Han seo thought, continue to curse himself.

He keeps panicking. why? Well, if you ever meet your Idol, what will you feel? Panic mode, right?

You might think that's why he's acting like that. Well, you know that he only likes to watch, and not interfere and interact. Knowing that he's also a introverted person, he doesn't have too much liking in communicating. Especially, in ancient communication with fancy words. One thing too, he might ruined the plot and things wont go the way when he read the manhwa.

"𝐀 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝?" Claude said, confused and surprised.

'𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩'𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚..' He thought. Confused by how he felt different presence as he saw the boy in front of him, being carried by Felix.

"𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲." Felix said, as he put down Rian to the marble flooring as he made him face the two blonde imperial blood. Making them see that he also has a jewel eyes.

Han seo looked at them awkwardly. Seeing that Claude looked at him blankly while athanasia looked at him curiously and confused.

'𝙎𝙤 𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙...' Han seo thought.

"𝐇𝐦𝐦.. 𝐀 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐠, 𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐞." Claude said, bluntly.

'𝘽𝙪𝙜!?' Han seo thought, shock and offended. Though, he didn't show it.

Silence was placed in the room. No one spoke, no one moved. Maybe due to nervousness being in the same room as the most feared character, the emperor.

"𝐒𝐢𝐭." Claude said.

"𝐇𝐦𝐦?" Han seo hummed confused.

"𝐈 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐭. 𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧."

Confused and surprised, Han seo was hesitating for a moment. But since it was said, he followed it. He was tired of running and standing after all, especially his wounds kind of hurt too, though some got numb.

"𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐱, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞." Claude said as he sip his cup of tea.

"𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞." Felix bowed, then he opened the door to leave.

'𝙃𝙢𝙢.. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜..' Han seo said looking at the emperor infront of him, after felix left.

'𝙎𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙖 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙝𝙪𝙝. 𝙊𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚'𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙞𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬. 𝘽𝙪𝙩, 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝.'

"𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮?" Claude said, looking at Han seo with his fierce nonchalant eyes.

'𝙎𝙡𝙪𝙩?' Han seo was confused, but since he was in a different body. He thought that his mother is indeed a slut, the maids also keep using the word 'your mother is a slut' after all, so he nodded.

"𝐇𝐨, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞?" Claude said in amusement, after seeing Han seo's response. "𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭."

'𝙊𝙤𝙥𝙨?' Han seo said in his thought. He forgot about that.

"𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬... 𝐑𝐢𝐚𝐧."

Han seo only nodded. '𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤...' Since he was caught, and end up in this situation he has no choice but just go with it.

But he'll still continue on watching them like a ninja and watch their drama.

'𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙄'𝙢 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣...' Han seo sigh. He must have a strong guts or maybe because he was always nonchalant, even in his death.

"𝐇𝐦𝐦.. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞." Claude said a she raise his head up, before looking at the two little human across his sofa.

"𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬?" He said, his hand putted in his cheek.

Athanasia tilt her head. Han seo looking at her with his nonchalant expression though inside he has sweatdrop in his cheek as if he knows what is athanasia is saying inside her mind. Well, he did read the manhwa.

'𝙊𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 '𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙚' 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙙𝙚, 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨' 𝙨𝙤𝙣....

'𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚..' Han seo said.

'𝙎𝙤... 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬.... 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚..' Athanasia thought, with her awkward smile.

'𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙄'𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨.'

'𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙯𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙚'

'𝙈𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝.'

'𝙄 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 5-𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨-𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙤𝙣..'

Han seo turn back to Claude's after looking at athanasia for a while. He felt like he has a power of mind reading...

But there is one thing the he wasn't able to read, because it wasn't put in the manhwa. '𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙖𝙣, 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙧.'

But it was unheard by Han seo, instead a thought came across his mind. And he seems to want to commit something.

"𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠?" Han seo said, making the emperor look at him.

"𝐒𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨. 𝐈 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞  𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧." Claude said, closing his eyes.

'𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙..' Han seo thought. He also seems to love committing, I see.

"𝐓𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭."

"𝐀 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭." Claude looked at athanasia, who flinched a little.

"𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟, 𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫."

"𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮." He looked at Rian.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞."

"𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡."

'𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙖 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚? 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙍𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚... 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙙? 𝘼𝙥𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙘?' Han seo thought.

'𝙗𝙪𝙩....' Han seo wasn't that affected to his words, but rather a question was slip on his mind.

"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?"

The two blonde imperial looked at him. Athanasia confused and shock, '𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙚?'. While the emperor looked at him with his usual fierce calm face.

"𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐨. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞." Claude simply said, as he went back to lay his head to his clench hand.

'𝙎𝙤 𝙍𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?' Han seo thought.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? 𝐆𝐨 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐭." Claude said, looking at the two little human with a food infront of them.

Han seo peeked at athanasia, which is hesitating just like he expected. Claude seeing this, spoke.

"𝐈 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬."

"𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤" He said, seems to be glaring at them with his jewel eyes glowing.

"𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝!" Athanasia immediately said, '𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚! 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙚𝙧𝙠!' She curses in her mind, then she noticed that Rian was not doing the same thing as her, '𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚? 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙖𝙩!?' She cries in her mind.

'𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨... 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙪𝙥 𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙨, 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚?' Han seo thought. Starting to crave the taste of cup noodles and remembering that he died infront of it. '𝙐𝙜𝙝.. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮... 𝙄 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙮 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙠..'

'𝐘𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐲!" Athanasia said, after eating a piece of cake. '𝙄'𝙢 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙞𝙢... 𝙄'𝙢 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚... 𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮!' She thought panicking and frustrated at the same time.

'𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙡'𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙!?'

"𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬?" Claude asked, interfering athanasia's messy thoughts.

"𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐞..." Athanasia answers.

"𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤" Claude said, making Rian look at their conversation in curiousness, leaving his thoughts about his cup noodles.

'𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙘? 𝙊𝙝𝙝.. 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣?... 8? 7?' Han seo thought.

"𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐤𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮" Claude said, with his usual nonchalant deep but gentle voice, "𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮." Athanasia just sit there, looking dumbfounded as she listen to what the emperor is saying.

'𝙊𝙝𝙝.. 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧 7. 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩, 𝙡𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚, 𝙝𝙢𝙢.' Han seo thought.

Also peeking at athanasia, who seems to just stay still. '𝙇𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜? 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙠𝙚!?' Athanasia thought. Which Han seo knows.

"𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐛𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞." Cluade said, bending his body as he put his arms in his legs and lay his head on his hand. '𝙊𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙡𝙮! 𝙄'𝙢 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙!' Athanasia said, with her heart flutter on lily's actions.

'𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚' Han sei said, clapping mentally

"𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞..." Claude said, his tone sounding annoyed. Which lead to athanasia to quiet and confused on him.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡." He said, his eyes squinting with fierce.

'𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡, 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙' Han seo thought, making a happy cat smile mentally.

"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?" Claude asked, looking at Rian.

'𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙' He thought as he's cat happy expression droop down.

"𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲..." Han seo said quietly but enough for them to hear. He's upset that there is no cup noodles in this world, so upsetting.

"𝐀𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐦?" Claude asked.

Then silence covered the room.
