Reincarnation Diana

23

"Where should I sleep?" ask Erez.

"Oh yes, I forgot about you. Go with Lucas to the magic tower."

"No way," he refused.

"Where do you want to sleep?"

"Give me a room. This palace has a lot of rooms, right?"

Rather than arguing with her, I ended up obeying her wishes. "Felix, please take her to an empty room."

"Okay, your highness the empress." Felix and Erez are gone.

I and Claude are left in this room.

"Claude," call me.

"Yes baby?"

"Don't think too much, okay? I'll be fine."

"But I'm still worried about you, let alone you just returned to my side. I don't want you to go anymore."

I understand Claude's fear. I tried to persuade him and calm him down. "I told you this time I could handle it. Calm down and trust me okay?"

Claude nodded slowly.

"When it comes, go to a safe place with Athanasia and the others huh? Take care of Athanasia so she doesn't wander around."

Once again Claude nodded.

I hugged him too. "Good boy."

Without me noticing, it turned out that there was someone listening from the outside.

The night of tomorrow. At my request, Brother Anas evacuated everyone in the palace. Before everyone actually left, they all asked me to be careful.

"Be careful, Diana. Me and Athanasia will be waiting for you."

"certain. Please take care of Athanasia."

"Come on Diana, we don't have much time. We have to be there before Zenith wakes up from her sleep" Erez said.

"Yes." Yeah." Before leaving, I hugged Claude and Athanasia. Oddly enough Athanasia was just quiet usually she would cry and whine so I wouldn't leave. But it's good that my heart doesn't weaken because of it.

Me and Erez immediately went to Zenith's room. Right now the palace has been empty, there is only me, Erez, and Zenith. Zenith was still asleep due to the influence of magic.

"Wake him up, Erez!" my orders.

"Good." Erez removes his sleep magic on Zenith.

Shortly after, Zenith opened her eyes.

Zenith looked around her and her gaze fell before me. He seemed surprised to see me in front of him now. "Aunt Diana?! Is this really Aunt Diana?"

The zenith? Where's Aeternitas?

"Hello Zenith, how are you feeling now?" many of you are still trying to be ordinary.

Not answering my question, Zenith hugged me and cried. "Aunt Diana, where have you been all this time? Zenith and Athy miss Diana's aunt very much."

I returned his embrace and stroked his head. "Auntie misses you both."

"Auntie's met with Athy and the others?" ask Zenith.

I'm nodding. "Auntie met the others last night."

"wait. Wasn't I in the park at the time? Why am I in my room now? What about the debutant party? Ah yes then I left Mr. Alpheus alone" said Zenith.

"What do you remember, Zenith?" my many.

"At that time Zenith asked permission to go briefly to lord Alpheus and..." Zenith did not continue her words.

"And what?"

"And Zenith cried in the garden alone. But magic came to Zenith and accompanied Zenith back then" he continued.

"What happened after that?"

"Zenith can't remember. When Zenith came to her senses, Zenith was already in the room."

I looked at Erez and asked, "How is this, Erez? I also did not feel that black magic on Zenith's body."

Erez clucking. "He's running away."

"Black magic? What is aunt talking about? And who is this guy?" ask Zenith.

I explained it to Zenith. Zenith also needs to know what happened to her. "Zenith, the magic that's been in your body is black magic. That black magic took over your body that night and put you out of control."

"Loose control? Did Zenith hurt anyone that night?" asked Zenith worried.

"You didn't hurt anyone but the words you said back then made Athanasia lose control. The mana is irregular and explodes."

Zenith was surprised to hear that. "Then how is Athy doing now? Zenith wants to meet Athy now."

Zenith tried to get up and I held her back. "There's nobody here, Zenith. Everyone in the palace has been evacuated to safety."

"Why?"

"Because of you" replied Erez.

"Because of me? What did I do?"

"Me and Diana intend to eliminate the black magic that is inside your body tonight. Because we don't know what's going to happen, Diana told the others to go somewhere safe" Erez said.

"What Erez said is true. Erez will help me to release that black magic from your body" I said.

I'm shaking. "Unfortunately the black magic is not in your body right now. Auntie doesn't know where the black magic went."

"Is black magic dangerous, aunt? Can't you guys just let that black magic go? Because black magic that always accompany Zenith all this time," said Zenith.

"Of course black magic is dangerous. You can hurt someone unconsciously" said Erez, snapping slightly.

"Generic!" my reproach.

"What's? I just answered the question."

"But no need to be yelled at, explain slowly."

"Whatever, rather than me lingering here I better look for the existence of that black magic." Erez is gone.

"Is what the man said true? Is black magic dangerous?" zenith asked with a sad face.

"really. Black magic is a dangerous thing, Zenith. You shouldn't have it" I replied.

"But the black magic did not hurt Zenith. Even black magic always helps Zenith when she is in trouble. Auntie, can't we just let the black magic go?" zenith pleaded.

"Why does Zenith want to keep that black magic?" my many.

"Because Zenith can finally use magic and have friends" he replied.

"Zenith didn't need that black magic to be able to use magic. After this is all done, auntie will teach Zenith magic huh? And as for the matter of friends, doesn't Zenith now have Athy as well as the young master Alpheus? The two of them will always be friends with Zenith."

"Ta—"

"Zenith, listen to auntie. The black magic was actually a human but since his body had long since died, he ended up wandering around with such a form. Aunty must return him to his realm so that he can be reborn in the next realm. If Zenith continues to forbid aunt to do so then the magic cannot live the next life. Zenith has no pity on him? He will always suffer here" I explained.

"suffered? Suffered why aunt? Did someone hurt her so much that she suffered?"

"According to Zenith why was he not immediately reborn into the next realm and instead roamed here?" ask her for her opinion.

Zenith shakes. "Zenith doesn't know."

"That's because he still has a feeling of hatred in his soul. It was what made her unable to be reborn but auntie would help her to dispel those feelings. So Zenith, allow auntie to do it huh? We help him get back to his realm and be reborn."

Zenith also nodded.

"Now we're looking for that black magic together huh?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Zenith and I looked for the existence of black magic in the palace.

***POV CLAUDE***

"Everything's been evacuated, right?" I asked Felix.

"Here you go, your majesty" he answered.

"Good job, Felix."

"Claude, where's Athanasia?" ask Anastasius.

"Athanasia is with her servant. What was? Why are you suddenly asking Athanasia?"

"Okay, I don't feel well but thank God Athanasia is with her servant."

"Blessings and glory upon the sun empire obelia. I salute the former noble and the former noble."

"Lilly? What are you doing here?" ask Anastasius.

"I was just walking around with the princess and happened to meet her highness here so I intend to give her a greeting" he replied.

I who saw Athanasia was silent also asked the servant. "Why did Athanasia just keep quiet?"

"I don't know either, your Honor. The princess has always been quiet. Perhaps the princess is worried about her majesty the empress," the maid replied.

I approached Athanasia and stroked her head. "Just calm down, Athanasia. Your mother's gonna be okay."

There was no response from Athanasia.

Suddenly the witch came with a panicked look on her face.

"What's up, Mr Lucas? Why do you look so panicked?" ask Felix.

"Where is the princess?!" ask the witch.

"Don't you see it? The princess is here, Mr. Lucas," replied the maid.

The witch approached Athanasia and touched her head. "Stupid. He's not a princess!"

"What do you mean?" ask Anastasius.

"It's a doppelganger" the witch replied.

"Doppelgangers?"

"Yes. The princess that is before you right now is a clone made by the magic of the owner," he explained.

"It is fitting that I feel something different from the aura of the princess" Felix chanted.

"Where is Athanasia?!" manyworry. Because Diana asked me to look after Athanasia but at the moment I lost Athanasia.

"Don't you. The princess is in the palace?!"

"I'm going to the palace now" I said.

Felix immediately held me. "Wait for your majesty, it's dangerous to go to the palace now."

"Let me seek the princess, your majesty. You stay here with the others" said the witch.

The witch also left.
