A Gift For Athy

Athanasia's POV

I wish Lucas would hurry up and come back already so he will fix Daddy...

"What's with the frown?" Lucas appeared in front of me, tilting his head... I can also see Jennette's dumfounded face as she...

Wait... Lucas?

"Ehhh?"

*Poof!*

Eh? EHHHHH?!

"LUCAS!!" I exclaimed. My eyes were wide open. He's here! He is already here!

"Oh my ears" He said

"Lucas come here for a sec!!" I said as I immediately gripped his hand. "Jennette excuse us for a bit!"

I badly need to talk to him about my Dad's condition. He needs to fix my dad!

"L-lord magician..?" Jennette said, still shocked.

Before Jennette could finally recovered from the shock, Lucas and I already left her there. Sitting dumbfounded on the sofa.

"Princess please calm down" Lucas told me "I understand that you're happy to see me for so long.."

*BAAM!*

I cornered him on wall. Face to face.

This man! WHAT TOOK HIM SO LONG?!

"What took you so long?!" I angrily said to him "Do you know how long I've been waiting?!"

"W-why are you being like this?" He asked "Aren't you too close?" He nervously said. I can see his face turning into red but.... I don't care!

My Daddy...

"AHEM!" Lucas moved me away. "What happened?"

I started to sniff. My eyes become watery, I tried to hold my tears but I think I will fail to do that. "Fix my daddy"

"Fix my..."

"Hmmm....Your Dad?" He asked.

I Immediately told him what had happened to me. That I almost died when he left, my dad saved me and now... Now.. He had an amnesia and tried to kill me.

I want Lucas to fix my dad! E-even though I knew what my fate lies beneath his hand, I still want him to be safe...

I miss my dad...

And I won't let myself to die on his hands.

"Should I teach your dad a lesson?"

This.... Man.... IS HE AN IDIOT? Teach my dad a lesson? Teach MY DAD a lesson?! I want him to fix my dad!

"What do you mean 'teach him a lesson'?! Go fix him! Don't you dare do anything weird to my dad!" And then I gave him a punch.

"Oww"

Serves him right!

"Princess~ Lord Magician~" I heard Jennette's voice. She was standing a few meters away from us.

Lucas glanced at Jennette before looking at me. "Okay, first things first, send her out. Then after talking about your problem, you need to come with me"

"What do you mean?" I asked but he only showed his grin. 'Why do I feel like something unexpected will happen?

••••

My dad..Is dying....

My dad used dark magic..

Jennette has magic...

A Stabilizer...

"I just got back, Im tired, can't we settle down somewhere comfy?" Lucas told me.

Right, we are currently on my dad's room. Lucas checked up my dad's condition that's why we're here.

"Oh, then let's go to my room. I'll prepare some snacks." I replied

"Oh speaking of your room, I brought you something interesting"

"What do you mean--"

*Snap*

Before I could finish my sentence, Lucas made us teleported in front of my room. I gave him a glare before rolling my eyes. Lucas you bastard.

I was about to open my door but Lucas suddenly stopped me from doing that. "Why?" I grunted.

"Nothing, just having a second thought if I will show her to you"

Her? Who's her? Is he reffering to a person?

I Immediately opened the door not caring about Lucas. As I entered the room my heart started to beat louder and louder as if I was being chased by something dangerous. But the feeling is different, Why do I feel like I am excited?

"She's on your bed" Lucas told me.

My palm is sweaty, Damn you Lucas, Why do I feel like you really brought me something unexpected.

As I reach my bed room. My heart stops for a beat when I saw someone lying comfortably on my bed. It was a woman... Who has a golden hair, wearing a familiar style of clothes that I usually see on my previous life.

I take a step closer to have a glimpse on her face. "No way" I said as I covered my mouth in shock. That woman... That woman...

"Tadaaa! I brought you a gift, I brought your mother's reincarnation here" Lucas said having a boredroom on his tone.

"You've got to be kidding me, Lucas is this one of your dolls? I know that you know I am facing some kind of a big problem but..you don't really have to do this, I really appreciate your efforts"

"Stupid, that's not a doll. It's a human being from the world you call 'earth' I got her from earth and I brought her here" Lucas explained to me.

My eyes went wider glancing at the woman who is currently lying on my bed. No way... No way.. This is really unexpected. "H--how?"

"It's a secret of course, You don't have to know it" he said. I placed my hands on his shoulder as I began to shake him.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW IT?' You just brought a person from my--from the world you called earth here! OF COURSE I DO HAVE TO KNOW!"

"Hey! Hey! Stop, It's not really necessary, you know. Now now, sit down and let's have a nice talk. Don't you want to know your father's condition?" I stopped shaking Lucas' body. "Now sit"

"Fine! So what about him? You said my dad has a curse, and what about Jennette's power?"

"Simply put, your dad used black magic" Lucas started to explain.

"Why would he?"

"I don't know. It looks like it happened a long time ago" he paused, he gave me a meaningful look. "Do you have any idea what might've happened?"

'I lost'

I turned my head away from me before giving the woman on my bed a glance. "N-no... I don't"

Why do I suddenly thingking about them?

And Diana...

"Before I left, most of the dark magic had been destroyed, only the traces of it were left, but for some reasons, it's starting to revive itself"

"Why?"

"Why else? It's because it's been influenced by your magic explosion, I've always thought that your magic was special, the nature of your magic reverses your dad's time into past. Back to when his black magic was still alive"

"D--- DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE? How can he go back in time? STOP SAYING NONESENSE! "

"Don't be too loud, you might wake your mother up. And why it doesn't make sense? You've already experience it once"

That statement gave me a shock that made me stand up.... What just now...I..

"Stop talking in riddles and explain properly"

He kept staring at me, I can see something on his eyes, but I cannot explain why...

Is it possible that...

"You're interesting. This is the first time I've ever seen someone like you, this'll be fun"

What the...

"The black magic is completed before it could be broken. Either way, it had nothing to do with you so I don't pay much attention to it."

"How does that work? If it could be broken once, can it be broken again?" I asked.

"Maybe..." He paused "It could be that it gradually disappeared, or it could be happened by a chance. But if the magic is broken by force, your dad will die"

"Th-then what do we do?" I asked. I can't help it but my eyes become watery as I started to sniff. "You said He's still dying"

Lucas only stared at me. He remained quiet for a moment. I heard him tsk'd.

"Lucas?" I called his name.

"Tsk, Either way I feel annoyed whenever I look at you, and it's like he's declining health is related to you" he said "but seeing how he called you back, he still seems to care for you... Even though he can't remember you"

"Stay closer to him for now, If continue to stay with that chimera without you, the pain will lessen but the magic won't disappear... And he'll die quickly"

If only he's with Jennette, he will die? Then what about the Lovely Princess?

"Jennette!!"

"Father!!"

"They say his Majesty has been cursed"

I have quite imagination, there's no way Lovely Princess will end like that... But it doesn't mean It can't happen.

"The more I think about it, the unfair it is" I unconsciously uttered.

"Hmm..?"

"It looks like I'm fixing your dad. I'm starting to think that I am not paid enough, Look, I even brought you your mother"

"What are you saying? They are letting you live in the palace, and I did not ask you to bring my mother here!"

"That was only to take care of you, Now it seems like an annoying work was being dumo on me. I had to go straight to the work as soon as I go back"

S-stingy jerk!

I'm about to be a forgotten princess what else I can give to you?

Ahhh but anyway... I glanced at Diana. What about my mother?

"Ahh, what? Do you want me to give you a kiss?"

"Kiss? Where?"

"Uhh... Y-your ch-cheeks"

He pointed on his cheeks "here"

Is he serious? I was just joking!

Ahhh whatever!

I slowly leaned my face on his cheeks and when my lips touched his cheeks...

*BLAGGG*

We both flinched. I quickly glance at the door and saw Lily's uniform. Oh no! Did she us?

"Lucas! Quickly hide my mom!" I hissed at Lucas. His face is currently color red. What the hell.

"Wait---"

"Quick!"

Lucas Immediately do what I had ordered him to do. A minute after that, Lily and Felix entered the room, and I act as if nothing had happened.

I wish that my face aren't flushing red as Lucas is grr. And about mom...

"Lily?"

"Yes Athy?"

"Can you and Felix leave after this?"

"Why princess?"

Because Lucas and I still have to talk about my Mom. Ahh Another problem.

"Nothing... I just... Wanted to be alone"

"Are you thingking about your dad? Don't worry, his majesty will be fine"

I wish..

••••

"That was close!"

Yeah and it's your fault.

Lily and Felix left me already a moment ago. Hmm those two is really like a couple... Speaking of couple.

I wonder what will happen if Claude saw Diana in flesh? And.. Is she really my mom?

"She's not your actual mother but she is the reincarnation of your mom" Lucas told me. He is now comfortably sitting on my couch like nothing had happened.

"How did you know then?" I asked "Do you.. Think it'll be a help if I make my dad saw her?"

"I thought you dont have any idea of what might've happened to your parents past?" He said while giving me a suspicious look. I stunned for a moment... He caught me but I remained in silence.

"You told me that you brought her here... Why?" I ask as a reply

"A gift..?"

"I asked why?"

"Uh.... Wait look she's opening her eyes" I immediately give a glance on my mom. Lucas is right, her eyes is already opened but I can see that she's only staring at the ceiling.

Wow... Her eyes, It's really beautiful like a ruby... She's very beautiful. No wonder why Athanasia is very beautiful. It's the first time I saw Diana in flesh. Even though she's only the reincarnation of Diana she really looks like her according to my dream...

"Hey are you crying?" Lucas asked me. I immediately wiped my eyes to see if there is really a tears coming fron it..

Right..

I am really crying..

Why?

"Mother" I murmured
