Chapter 25 25 (1/2)

Ah, that surprised me! I was surprised by Felix's voice coming out behind the bed curtain. When did you get in here?

”Ye, yes.”

”This is unusual. His majesty is not the one to put his guard down in front of people.”

His giggles made me want to hide in a mouse hole.

”Seems like princess's song was very effective.”

Ack! You also heard it? Uwu, I'm done for. How do I look Felix in the eyes from now on. Wha whaaa. I am embarrassed.

”Princess.”

”Wh~y?”

I rolled kicking cushions. Then Felix called me again. Sniff. Why? What now. Sure, speak if you have words to speak to me.

”I'm sorry about yesterday.”

He meant of the incident yesterday.

”I was not supposed to take action without the permission of princess. I was short in thoughts.”

Ehh. Well, why are you apologizing? Now I feel more sorry.

”I just thought princess would be happy if princess saw Ms. Diana.”

No, that's a problem because only you and Lilly thinks that way. I was the one who said I wanted see Diana in the first place.... Anyways the two are taking care of Atanasia so they must be worried of Atanasia not knowing her mother.

Gasp. But I just screamed and abused them physically!

”Uh, umm.”

Kuuck. Now I know that I'm a trash. Wahhh.

”A-Atti is also sorry I hit you─?”

I was not going to get into this again but I just can't stay still hearing what Felix said. I heard little laughters when I hesitantly apologized.

”It's fine. It hurts, but I'm fine now.”

Eek that's a lie! That soft push was not too hard! In fact, my hands were the ones suffering after the push! And the one being pushed back by force was me!

But I should stay quiet before another accidental word comes out from my mouth. Kuuckkk. But Claude this brat is sleeping, right? I relaxed myself after seeing that there was no reaction when I poked his nose and made it look like a pig's.

”Honestly even though it is not like princess, I lost my mother quite early when I was a kid too.”

Go on. I'm all ears.

”My mother was also his majesty's nanny. We could be described as a brother taken care by the same mother.”

Now I know why Claude was being a little soft on Felix than he is to others. Felix's mommy is his nanny after all.

No wait?! This is a new discovery. Claude you, you weren't the one to go soft on people for those reasons! If I am wrong, be soft on me too!

”I didn't really like mother back then. She played more with his highness than she played with me.”

Tsk. Your mom has been stolen by Claude. Now I know why Claude is a bit nice to Felix.

”So after mother passed away.”

Anyways young Claude. I can't imagine. I feel like he was emotionless when he was born to.....

”I told people that I didn't care about that women's death. I didn't miss her or didn't specifically think of her for the next 3 years either. I didn't need to for a mother who didn't spare a lot of time with me.”

I think I knew why Felix started to talk about his mom. I mannerly sat quietly and listened to his story without cutting his lines.

”But one day, very coincidentally, the handkerchief with the sowing..... So the sowing my mom sewed for me herself... When I looked at that,”

Felix was saying this as if it was nothing but to be able to do that, you needed a lot of self courage and hardsh.i.p.s.

”I couldn't believe it myself. Tears came from my eyes.”

With my mood set down, I pulled on Claude's soft hair. I didn't know if I was allowed to know this.

Since its Felix who told me himself, Claude won't say a word to me... but won't he try to hurt me if he realizes that I heard a part of a story from his past?

”She was my mother whom I hated. She was just a women with a title mother for me but to be honest, I was missing her.”

Honestly Felix's speech didn't really reach my heart too deeply.

”Even though I didn't have much memories with her, she still was my one and only mother.”

I feel sorry to say this after hearing Felix's secret but I didn't have a family who I could hate in the first place.

Of course when I was young, I had a thought that it would be great to have mom and dad...

I lost that feeling a long time ago as I aged. And later when I found out that they abandoned me I wasn't even irritated or angry at all. That is because hating or missing your family is only possible if you contain at least a little bit of hope or expectation in them.

What would I think of if I was real Atanasia? What if I was that princess Atanasia who lives abused without knowing her mother's face, and meeting her dad Claude for the first time.

”You see. This is a big big secret.”

I whispered as if I was only going to tell Felix a secret.

”Honestly it was a lie that I said I didn't want to see mommy.”

”Really.”

Felix probably knew everything but replied with a soft tone.

”But it's not a lie that I don't need to see mommy.”
