Ch 47

I used the macaw to send a letter to the palace, it contained of how to remove excess mana from the body and other steps to help the patient stabilize when in the princess's condition. It occurs when a person has a mana beast. I guess, it must be that princess must be spending more time with the mana beast, hence the beast's power went back into her body. I have told Claude to not kill him, otherwise that would be more dangerous. I think that everything should be fine now that I have sent the message of how to save the princess under the name of lucky J. I don't mind being found, as long as it's for the princess...

I just hope that princess gets fine...

I have to apologise to papa too. I always find it unsettling that he is so nice to me. Just what are you planning Athancius?

During the dinner:-

Yummm! Its beef steak.

"You like right? That's why I told them to make it."

"You knew?"

"I only have one Daughter for now, I should at least know her food preferences."and

Why the heck is he so effortlessly good looking?

Ah! Don't forget the mains...

"Leave us!" I said to the servants present. They all bowed and left.

"Don't tell me you caused trouble in such a short time."

"No that's not..."

"Then?"

"I sent a letter to Emperor stating how to heal the princess. I'm sorry."

"Is it something to apologise about? I was the one who told you to send it. I don't mind you befriending her. As long as you don't come in between my plans, I'm fine with everything. "

"Why? I'm helping your enemy. You..."

"So that is it... "

"What is what?"

"I agreed on adopting you, and not controlling your life. You are free to do whatever you like, be it you wanting to save the princess. I'm not like other enemies you know? I'm fine with everything you do, its your life, you have to decide which path to take and what to do the end. Did you get that? I won't mind if you sacrifice yourself for Athanasia. It was your choice afterall. I would never blame you. Did you get that? So don't do things from the shadows."

Is this a sophisticated villian's category?

[Flicks the forehead]

Ah! "What?"

"Don't space out while eating."

"Says a person who plans on taking the throne?"

"Aren't you also being too cranky for someone who just sent a letter from the shadows?"

"It was not the first time...oops"

"Don't tell me that poor bird has already gone to the empire?"

"Well...um..."

[Averts eyes]

"Look straight. Say the truth. "

"Well that's the truth... Ahahah"

"Don't 'ahahah' me. Considering you, you would definitely have put up some secret name, you also, wouldn't have considered what would have happened if it went to someone else, am I right? Hah! You Seriously are a trouble maker. You would be labelled suspicious of your letter leaks. You don't want the princess to not befriend you right?"

"Fine I get it. So you can stop it. But Papa pleaseee help...."

He sighed.

"Fine. But it won't be for free."

"Ofcourse it won't be. I have one more favour."

"What?"

"Let the both of us stop playing from the shadows. I challenge you, papa, I would be opposing you. I won't be a pawn for you to use. You can be Claude's enemy, but I won't let you destroy them. I would fight with you head on. So please don't do anything from the shadows like what I and you do. Let's do in a head on way. I won't be scared. I just want to fight you head on."

Is what I wanted to say, but...

"Make me princess's childhood playmate through this incidence."
