Reincarnation Diana

4

Day after day I went with my little family. It doesn't feel like tomorrow Athanasia is one year old. The servants were busy preparing for Athanasia's birthday party, as well as Claude's. This whole day he was really busy taking care of it because he wanted to make a fancy birthday party. Though I've said the usual but since this is Athanasia's first birthday party and the first time Athanasia has been shown to the public, that's why Claude wants to make the biggest party ever. Some high officials and kings from other kingdoms would come later.

In room.

Athanasia is playing in bed with her dolls. "That's your birthday party tomorrow, but why's a really nervous mom?"

Athanasia was just chattering in response to my talk. I who was feeling anxious immediately hit him with a kiss on the cheek. "Okay. Whose son are you? Son mother dong hehe."

Claude who suddenly came also replied. "My son too."

I chuckle. "Hehe's Claude's father's son too."

Athanasia who saw the arrival of Claude immediately approached him. Being too excited to approach his father, Athanasia almost fell from a high bed. It's a good thing Claude moved so fast that Athanasia didn't fall. But in shock, Athanasia cried. Claude held her up and patted Athanasia's ass slowly. "Good kid cup cup, yes dad's here. It's okay, don't cry."

I immediately approached the two of them. "Is Athanasia hurt?!"

"No, I caught him before he fell. Maybe she was surprised so she cried" Claude replied.

I'm glad to hear that. I stroked Athanasia's back. "Never cry again Athanasia. Isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Well let's stop crying"

Athanasia who seemed to understand my words immediately stopped crying and laughing. Claude who saw that laughed. "It looks like this kid understands what you're saying"

"Yes, Athanasia's a smart kid. Is that right, baby?"

Athanasia stretched out her arms as if she wanted to be carried and held by me. I took Athanasia from Claude's sling.

Athanasia who had been in my arms immediately hugged me and stuck her face around my neck.

Teng.teng. The clock reads indicating that it is midnight.

"Happy birthday, mother. May Athanasia always be healthy and happy. Thank you for being born in my mother's womb." I kissed Athanasia on the forehead and hugged her.

Claude hugged us both. "Happy birthday Athanasia. Grow up healthy. I'll always grant you whatever you want because I love you so much."

Claude makes cakes with his magic. Complete with candles and happy birthday inscriptions. "Well Athanasia, let's blow out the candles" Claude pointed the cake at Athanasia.

Athanasia pursed her lips and tried to blow them away. But instead of the air coming out of his mouth it was saliva coming out.

Claude and I laughed at that. We also helped Athanasia blow out her candles before this room flooded Athanasia's saliva. After the candle died, Athanasia immediately applauded. He kept talking, even though me and Claude didn't understand what Athanasia was talking about but we responded.

Soon Athanasia fell asleep, apparently exhausted from being too happy. Claude and I fell asleep.

Her morning. We were all busy preparing for the Athanasian party. It takes a long time to prepare. After everything was ready and badly the guests had already gathered in the hall. Me, Claude, and Athanasia are out. Everyone looked down and greeted. "Blessings and glory upon the sun empire obelia."

"Thank you for coming to my daughter's one-year birthday. Before you enjoy the dishes here, there's one thing I want to tell you. Athanasia, my only daughter will be crowned crown princess on her 17th birthday. So Athanasia is officially my future successor."

Everyone applauded. Athanasia, who heard applause, applauded. The guests who saw it were alarmed by Athanasia's behavior.

"Jeez Athanasia's daughter is so funny."

"Yes, look at him clapping when we clap."

"Yes yes, he clapped his hands with his tiny hands."

And there are many more guest talks about the Athanasian faith.

"One more. I, the king of the kingdom of Obelia, want to pay homage to Lucas, the leader of the magic tower," Claude said.

Everyone was shocked to hear Lucas' name.

"Mr Lucas? Didn't he die a few years ago?"

"Is it possible that his noble hallucinations?"

Many people were whispering but Felix swiftly calmed them all down. "Please stay calm!"

Everyone is silent.

Claude continued his words. "I know you all must think I'm a hallucination or something, but what I see is true Lucas. Hey witch, come out."

Lucas shows himself behind the curtain. The guests are shocked to see Lucas the leader of the magic tower. "It's troublesome. What you see now is not a ghost so don't be surprised like that. I was just hibernating. The witch is long-lived."

The royals were still in doubt with Lucas' words.

"Custom read the book! Do not just be a display of your book at home," said Lucas annoyed.

Claude approached Lucas. "Lucas, with all your struggles helping the noble empress give birth then you are given a mansion in the Meita area and with this you officially become a royal witch."

Lucas knelt down before Claude. "Thank you, your honor."

Everyone applauded.

"Alright, please enjoy the show" Claude said.

Everyone enjoyed the show. Some dance, some enjoy dishes, some chat and take advantage of this situation to find connections and others.

"Are you tired of Lucas?" I asked Lucas.

"Yes, in a crowded place like this makes me tired quickly," he replied.

"Go back to your room."

Lucas shakes. "No, your majesty, I'll be here any minute."

"It's okay. It's safe here, so you can come back now."

"You sure?" asked Lucas hesitated.

"I'm sure. Go back to your room."

Lucas gave me a red gem. "Destroy this when you're in danger. I'll come straight to where you are. Just throw it on the floor and this jewel will be destroyed."

I accepted. "alright. Thank you." Thank you."

"Judah I'm going first."

Before leaving Lucas wishes Athanasia a happy birthday. "Happy birthday princess. May you always be blessed."

Athanasia held Lucas' finger and put it in his mouth.

"It looks like he likes you, Lucas," I said.

Lucas removed his finger from Athanasia's hand and stroked her head. After that he left.

Claude came to us. He had gone to meet another royal envoy. "Why are you alone here? Where is the witch? Didn't I tell him to look after you?"

"Claude, you're back. I told him to go back to his room because he looked so tired" I replied.

"But still, he should have taken care of the two of you as long as I was gone."

"It's okay, Claude. There are so many people here that no one can do evil. After all, there was no way anyone would dare to harm the empress in a crowded place like this."

"alright. But stay alert."

I'm nodding. Claude took Athanasia from my lap and held her. "Hello father's daughter."

Athanasia smiled happily as she looked at Claude. "Are you happy because there are so many people here?"

Athanasia nodded.

"Do you want to have another party next time?"

He nodded again.

"Well, I'll have another party for you."

He was excited and applauded happily.

"When Athanasia has friends later, invite them to the palace okay" I told Athanasia.

"No, Athanasia doesn't need friends. He already has me" Claude said

"What did you say Claude? Of course he needs his peers."

Felix chimed in, "Yes, your honor. The princess should have a friend her age."

"Felix, take 10 steps back!"

Felix obeyed Claude's orders. "Okay, your honor."
