Reincarnation Diana

***POV AUTHOR***

Athanasia approached Zenith who was in the garden alone and gave her favorite cake. "Zenith, it turns out you're here. Look at your favorite cake. Uncle Anas and Aunt Penelope deliberately ordered this cake to be at our debutante's party."

Zenith threw down the plate containing the cake.

"What's Zenith? Why are you throwing the cake?" ask Athanasia.

"I don't like it" replied Zenith.

Athanasia breathed. "You just have to say that if you don't like it, there's no need to be thrown like that because it's a danger to you and everyone else."

"Are you going to listen if I say I don't like it?"

Athanasia's forehead is shriveled. "of course. I always listen to you, right?"

"No. You never listened to me once."

Athanasia is starting to feel weird about Zenith. "Why Zenith?"

"Why? What are you?!"

Athanasia began to feel confused and fearful.

"Why do you always take everything from me, Athanasia?!" asked Zenith in a high tone.

The athanasia? Zenith never called me that. Athanasia Thought.

"I'm always silent but not forever I'll keep quiet! Your father and you are both usurpers of the rights of others!" hina Zenith's.

"The zenith? No, you're not Zenith?!"

"Whatchu mean? I'm Zenith, your cousin."

"No! Zenith has never spoken such evil and Zenith always calls me Athy." Athanasia runs but Zenith holds him back. "Where are you going?"

Athanasians rebelled. "Take me off!"

"unleash? I won't!"

"Who are you and what do you want?! Why are you inside Zenith's body?!" ask Athanasia.

"I was in his body of his own accord" he replied.

"lik! You must have done something to her!" athanasia said she did not believe it.

"You did something to her that she gave up her body voluntarily like this."

Athanasia scrunched her forehead. "I? I never did anything to her. We always get along and play together."

"Based on a stupid kid! You were too spoiled by the empress but thankfully the empress was dead hahaha."

"My mom is still there! He's just leaving on a job" Athanasia snapped.

"God how stupid is this kid?! You sure your mom just left? Have you never thought about why everyone is always evasive when you ask about your mother? Because the queen is dead. Everyone was saddened by the death of the queen. That was the reason no one discussed the empress anymore and the king always locked himself in the room. All this time Anastasius who replaced him did the job, right?"

"Yes, but now I'm not keeping myself in my room. I've returned to work with Anastasius' uncle."

"Stupid anastasius! He should have taken that chance to seize the throne that should have been his!"

Athanasia surprised. "So you took the throne of Uncle Anas?"

"Yes, your vile father seized the throne of his own brother as well as yours! You snatched the position that should have been his."

Athanasia stopped rebelling. He was very surprised by all this. "Then how can you go?"

"Your mother didn't leave. He died and your father killed him."

"Dad?! No way! I must also be sad for my mother's departure."

"Why do you think there hasn't been a single painting of your mother? Because your father didn't love your mother. And you were born so Claude could be king."

"lik! If you don't love your mom, why do you always lock her up in your room?"

"It's just imaging okay? So that he may be seen grieving the death of the queen. Don't be so naive Athanasia."

Athanasian's mind is now empty. He didn't know where to understand all this. Athanasia remembers that she felt that her mother was still alive. What exactly happened first? Why did her mother leave?

"Hows it? You must be very surprised, right?"

Athanasia began to shed tears.

"This is what life is like. Full of lies. Those knights and servants must have said that Claude loved the empress very much, right? It was all a lie. Claude doesn't love her!"

"No way.." he said.

"What is impossible? Don't dodge Athanasia anymore. This is the truth."

"NO! YOU LIED!" Athanasia.

"Why are you so stubborn?!"

"DAD LOVES MOM!"

"No Athanasia! Your father doesn't love your mother!"

"SILENCE! SHUT UP!" Athanasia's breathing started to become irregular. His mana collided with each other within his body.

"Hahaha good. This is what I want. Keep on raging Athanasia and whichever explosion the second will be. You survived because of the empress, but this time you won't escape."

"ATHANASIA" cried Claude.

"How did the king get here?! Though I intend to kill his daughter first before he finds out," muttered the magic.

But that's okay, the king couldn't save Athanasia either. Think of that magic.

The magic went with Zenith's body.

Claude who was about to run towards Athanasia was immediately detained by Felix. "The danger is glorious! You can be dragged into the whirlpool where the princess is!"

"Another knight is calling Mr. Lucas. Please calm down, your majesty."

Anastasius and Penelope came. "What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know but the possibility of the princess having an explosion of mana" Felix replied.

"Again?!"

Felix nodded.

Penelope shut her mouth. "Geez how can we stop it this time."

"Just calm down, Miss Penelope, in this palace we have a great witch. It was he who stopped the explosion where the princess was a few years ago" Felix explained.

Claude slipped out of Felix's grasp. Claude directly lunged at the vortex where it was.

"YOUR MAJESTY" cried Felix.

Felix who was about to follow his master was immediately detained by Lucas. "You want to follow your stupid master, huh?!"

"Mr Lucas, please princess and your majesty."

"I'll help him. You secure the guests. Get as far away from here as possible!" lucas' orders.

"Okay, Mr. Lucas. I leave it here to you." Lucas nodded.

Lucas begins to calm down where Athanasia is exploding. The vortex of mana slowly disappeared.

"You are so stupid, your majesty!" namel Lucas.

Claude laughing. "Hahaha just this time someone dared to scold me other than Diana. You're lucky because I didn't punish you, witch."

"I don't care if you punish me" Lucas replied.

Athanasia opened her eyes. "Dad."

"Yes, I'm here."

Athanasia hugged Claude and cried. "Dad."

"Dear, dad's here." Claude stroked Athanasia's long hair.

"Athy is afraid.." - Athanasia.

"It's okay, dad's here."

"What has happened to the princess?" ask Lucas.

Athanasia went looking for Zenith. "Where's Zenith?"

"Zenith does not exist. You're alone here, Athanasia." Athanasia surprised.

"What is Athanasia? Why are you looking for Zenith with such a panicked look?" ask Claude.

"Dad, this wasn't my first man-made explosion, was it? I've felt this before, haven't I, Dad?" ask Athanasia.

Claude quiet. After learning that Athanasia had forgotten her memories of what happened in Meita, everyone decided not to tell her and until now Athanasia only knew that Diana was leaving because of work.

"Dad answer me!" Athanasia.

Claude nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

"The reason I exploded was that I accidentally used my magic?" ask Athanasia again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"But what's the main reason all of that could happen?"

Claude was confused as to what to answer. She did not want her daughter to hate her cousin after knowing the truth.

"Dad replied Athy. What you're saying is that magic isn't true, is it?"

Claude surprised.

"The magic says that you killed Mom. The magic says you don't love your mother and I was born so you can take the throne" Athanasia continued.

Claude hugged Athanasia. "No dear, that's not true. I love your mother and you. You were born out of love for both of us."

"Then why did you leave, Dad?"

Claude finally explained everything. "When you were five, we all went to Meita to visit your uncle and aunt. You meet Zenith and always play with her but there is magic that dominates Zenith's body. Zenith attacked mom and you accidentally used your magic to save mom. Because you haven't learned the magic that's where yours collided and exploded. Mother forced herself to use teleportation magic to bring you back to the palace and to meet Lucas. Then—" Claude couldn't go on with the story.

Athanasian's eyes began to glaze over. "Ja-so mom didn't leave because of work?"

Claude nodded. "I'm sorry, Athanasia. It's too hard for me to tell you the truth."

"Father outrageous! Dad let me live this lie! I always believed that my mother was still there. I even studied magic desperately with Lucas to find mom but it was useless because it turned out that mom had been gone."

Claude was shocked to hear Athanasia's words. "So you've been trying to find Diana?"

"of course. I miss mom and you all never told me about mom's whereabouts."

"Sorry, Athanasia. Forgive dad. I'm guilty of you" said Claude regretfully.

"Athy disappointed in dad. Athy wants to be angry with you but there's something important that Athy has to say."

"What do you want to say?" ask Claude.

"The magic took control of Zenith's body again. The magic said so many bad things that I unconsciously went berserk and where I collided. But that's not the point. We have to find Zenith as soon as possible, father because it could harm Zenith and others" Athanasia replied.

"So this is what you were talking about back then, your honor?" ask Lucas.

"Yes. I thought you heard it then."

"We're talking inside." Claude, Athanasia, and Lucas come in. The debutante party was stopped.
