XLIV. Claude is Busy

WHO MADE ME A PRINCE
chapter forty four - claude is busy.

THE SIBLING MET UP ON THEIR WAY FOR BREAKFAST. Accompanied by their knights, the two headed back to Garnet Palace. On their way, they were greeted by a servant.

"Greetings Your Royal Highnesses, I have a message from his Majesty. "

The siblings were surprised by this and half worried.

Dad wasn't in the room when we woke up either.

He was acting strange last night as well.

"Go on." Arius told the man.

"He asks that the two of you enjoy breakfast together as he is busy with an audience."

"Daddy's...busy?" Athanasia mumbled under her breath.

"I see, Thank you for your work. My sister and I will then eat in Emerald Palace. By any chance would you know when the audience would be over?" Arius asked the servant who flinched upon the question.

"I-I don't know, Forgive me your highness." The servant dramatically bowed. "The audience was supposed to be over some while before but due to some reasons the noble is still discussing matters with His Majesty."

Pesky Nobles.

Athanasia clutched Arius's shirt and signaled towards the servant with her eyes.

He was trembling and still bowing down.

"I see, you can stop bowing."

Arius gave Athanasia a nod and the two gave the servant an angelic smile, before saying, "Thank You."

The servant's fear immediately disappeared when he saw the two little children in front of him.

Arius and Athanasia turned and began walking back to the Emerald Palace, leaving the servant awestruck by their cuteness.


THE TWO SIBLINGS SAT ON THE DINING TABLE, waiting for their breakfast to be brought in.

"Dad's busy...Why does that sound so strange?" Athanasia voiced her thoughts.

"He is the emperor. But the servant said the meeting was prolonged cause of nobles...Dad isn't usually the type to just let nobles do whatever. Is something going on?" Arius added his thoughts.

The two looked at each other and just sighed.

"It's just one meal. Why're we thinking so much about it if Dad is busy? "

"Right, we're becoming spoiled and too used to having Dad around."

The two nodded with their conclusion.


Thud!


In came the maids with the breakfast.

Arius' eyes sparkled in this opportunity. "I want coffee as well." He asked one of the maids.

Athanasia looked at Arius with a 'Dude.' expression.

"Via would be mad with you if she found out." Athanasia told him, in Pascal's official language. She didn't want the maids to know Arius was asking for something he was forbidden from drinking.

"She's in the Sapphire Palace. Plus Its only just once." Arius replied back in the same language.

"Then I want Lippe tea as well." Athanasia ordered.

The maids bowed before leaving to fulfill their demands.

The siblings enjoyed their breakfast, with their preferred drinks. They exchanged their drinks for a tasting. And as Athanasia thought, coffee is just not her thing. Arius still liked the tea, it was sweet and refreshing.

"Brother if you like tea, then instead of coffee why don't you just drink Lippe tea? Because coffee messes with your sleep routine."

"Hm...I didn't know I used to drink coffee a lot in my past life. So I just naturally like it."

"...Okay..." Athanasia slowly replied as she focused on her breakfast.

There it was again. A strange expression etched on her face.

"Athy." Arius called her as he placed his utensils down.

Athanasia looked up at him nervously since he was using a serious tone of voice.

"...What is it?"

"Are you feeling sick?" Arius asked her.

The mana explosion can happen anytime. I should be careful.

"No, why ? Is my face looking pale or something?" Athanasia asked as she touched her face.

"Tell me right away if you feel something weird, kay?"

Arius continued eating his breakfast.

"Uh sure...but why?"

"I'm just worried about my little sister, is that so wrong?" Arius spoke in a dramatic voice.

"Brother, You're weird."


BREAKFAST WAS END and the siblings were currently giving their divine beasts a bath and playing with them.

All the while Arius noticed Olivia and Lilian talking with another servant at the door.

"Via, is something wrong?"

"Your highness, uh , It seems you have a guest, asking for an audience with you. But since His Majesty has not approved of any noble meeting you..."

Athanasia looked at Arius.

Is it the white dog?

"I'll meet them. Take them to the reception room." Arius ordered and began walking out of the room.

"But Your Highness, his Majesty..." Olivia followed behind.

"I'll talk to dad myself. Plus there must be a reason why the guest came, it would be rude to turn them away."

"As you wish."

"By the way, what does the guest look like?"

"He's a child that looks older than your highness."

"A child..."


Don't tell me..


"BLESSING AND GLORY upon the first star of the Obelian Empire." The child greeted the prince as he entered the room.

"Vincent." Arius spoke, sounding irritated. He had just entered the room and was standing.

"You sound so happy to see me."

"What. are you. doing here?"

"Since our conversation was interrupted yesterday, I thought I would personally visit you to explain any further of your queries."

Arius sat down on the couch irritated. For some reason this kid gave him a bad feeling.

"I see, how thoughtful of you."

Vincent smiled proudly.

There were no maids within the room and so the two could discuss what they wished to without any worries.

Vincent stretched his arm towards the table and placed down a file.

"What's this?"

"A complete info sheet about those children."

Arius picked up the file and opened it. Reading the information given.

"I say completed. But we don't know everything obviously. But that file contains everything we do know and everything that matters."

Arius flipped through the pages and he could see the detailed pieces of information starting from their origins to their abilities to their weaknesses.

"You may keep this file. I have a copy of it." Vincent offered with his signature smile.

"I still don't see how the county would profit from this."

"You still don't trust me! I'm heartbroken." Vincent acted. "But you needn't worry, Your Highness. My mother is having an audience with His Majesty and His Majesty trusts my mother. A. Lot. You can confirm our intentions from him." Vincent smiled.

Wait. what. His mother is having an audience with dad...then the reason for his absence during breakfast...'My mom admires the emperor a lot... '

Claude chose to talk to a woman more than spend time with his children! I mean, we're with dad all the time and she's probably visiting after some time. Right! Calm down! Calm down! It's alright. I'm just overthinking.

"Vincent. Do you have anything else to discuss?" Arius stood up irritated. He did have a bad feeling about him.

"Uh, no..."

"How long have you been in the Palace grounds?" Arius approached him slowly.

"Um, I believe it has been an hour. or...more."

"And your mother has been in the audience room since when?" Arius's jeweled eyes glowed coldly.

"S-She went inside as soon as we came to the Palace." Vincent almost screamed as he saw Arius look furious.

"Get up, we're going."

"Where?"


"The Audience Chamber."
