Reincarnation Diana

8

In my private garden.

Me and Claude chatted casually while drinking tea.

"Does Duchess Alpheus bother you? Is he being disrespectful to you?" ask Claude.

"No" I answered briefly.

"Goodoo. If he does anything to you just tell me, I'll punish the Alpheus family."

"Claude, I told you not to make unnecessary enemies. Duchess Alpheus is friendly and kind. He admitted to the mistake he made and I know he's telling the truth."

"Don't easily believe someone's good looks, Diana. What looks good isn't necessarily good."

"Yes, I know."

"Ah yes Penelope sent you a letter" Claude said, giving a letter.

I took the letter and opened it.

To the noble empress

Hello, your Majesty, it has been a long time since we have met. Come here sometime with your majesty, you will we as best you can. I heard you gave birth to a daughter. Your daughter must be as beautiful as you. Congratulations on the birth of your noble consort, I send you the best jewel in Meita as a gift for the birth of princess Obelia. I also gave birth to a beautiful daughter. His name was Zenith, his eyes were as beautiful as those of Anastasius. Hopefully our two daughters can meet and play together at a later time. Until then, may you and your family be healthy always. Let's meet when you have some free time, noble consort.

Greetings, Penelope.

Claude, curious about the contents of the letter, asked, "What did Penelope say?"

"He invited us to come to his house in Meita and congratulate me."

"Ah yes he sent you a jewel. The jewel is in my study, will it be taken now?" tanyakanya.

I'm shaking. "No need, I'll take it myself."

"We're going to visit him when Athanasia is a little bit bigger huh? It's too dangerous to take her out at her young age."

I'm nodding. "Yes, I get it. I'll also practice to be stronger."

"Don't force yourself too much, Diana. I will always protect you."

"Yes. Thank you, Claude."

After that we continued the conversation by talking about random things.

Day after day passed, not feeling that my magic ability had improved greatly. Not only magic abilities, but sword fighting, archery, and horse riding also increased. Athanasia is now 5 years old. He could speak more clearly and now he could walk. Sometimes we all feel very tired to keep Athanasia since he can walk and run, because he will always run there and come here without getting tired. I wonder why Athanasia never tired of running around this enormous palace.

Today was my last day practicing magic with Lucas, because Lucas said there was nothing else he could teach me.

"OK this is our last practice, you learn very quickly" Lucas said.

"It's all thanks to you, Lucas. I'm lucky to have such a great teacher in teaching that I can quickly understand."

"It's also thanks to your hard work."

"Mother, Athy is also willing to learn magic." Lately Athanasia has been following me everywhere I go including when I'm training. Claude has always banned him but who can stop Athanasia when he wants to do something. Of course there isn't. Moreover Athanasia is our only daughter and Claude loves her very much so he cannot be too harsh on Athanasia. Finally Claude allowed Athanasia to see his training on condition that it was not too close to the training area.

I approached Athanasia and stroked her blond hair. "Let's go, baby."

"When will mom? Athy also wants to be able to magic like father, Felix, and mother."

"Athy's seen Felix and dad use magic?" my many.

Athanasia nodded. "Yes, that's when Felix and Dad showed it to Athy."

Both of them! I told you not to show Athanasia magic. I said in my heart.

"Please mother, let Athy learn magic" Athanasia said.

"Dear, you can learn magic, but later if it's bigger?"

"Athy wants it now mom!" his insistence.

"Athanasia, I didn't teach you to be a bad boy!" i'm firm.

"I hate mom!" Athanasia also ran away.

I was shocked to hear Athanasia's words. Am I being too hard on him?

"Children are always difficult to say. Then or now, same thing," Lucas said.

"Lucas, am I being too hard on Athanasia?" my many.

"No. You've done the right thing. He's too small to learn magic, you know that and it's only natural that you forbid him. You indulge Athanasia too much, which is why she grew up to be a spoiled child to be followed by all her wishes" Lucas replied.

"Yes you're right. We all pamper him too much, even though he is a good boy in the novel. Maybe because he was too pampered so his nature changed."

"In the novel?" lucas asked confusedly.

"Ah no. You misheard, I didn't say the word novel. Let's continue the training."

Lucas held my arm. "Hey, who are you?"

"I? Of course I'm Diana, Obelia's consort."

"No. I felt something strange the first time I met you."

"Any? Weird how?" my many.

"Your soul is not from here" Lucas replied.

"What do you mean, Lucas? I don't understand."

"Don't pretend to be stupid. I know you understand what I'm saying."

"I'm serious, I don't know what you're saying."

"Well, let's see when you're gonna lie like this. Remember Diana, you can't hide this secret forever. One day it'll all come out and we'll see if they all still like and love you knowing that."

I let go of Lucas' hand. "What the hell is Lucas! I'm lazy to talk about things like this. We better continue the training."

"It's up to you." We continued his training.

After training, I went straight to Athanasia. But it turns out he wasn't in his room. I asked the waiter who happened to pass by. "Did you see Athanasia? I can't find him. She's not in her room."

"So I saw the princess go to the noble study" he replied.

"All right, thank you."

"Sama-sama, your highness the empress. Then I continue to work first." The waiter looked down, then left.

I went to Claude's office.

Arriving in front of Claude's study, the guarding knight saluted, "Blessings and glory above the sun empire obelia."

"Is Athanasia inside?" my many.

"Yes, your highness the empress. The princess is inside with your majesty" he replied.

"All right, I'm going in." The knight allowed me to enter.

Athanasia really came here. Look at him, he was hugging his father tightly. Claude, who was aware of my existence, approached me while holding Athanasia. "What are you doing here, baby?" tanyanya while kissing my forehead.

"Well, mom's coming here?!" ask Athanasia upset.

"Athanasia, it's rude to talk like that to your mother. Apologize now!" reproof Claude.

Athanasia refused. "No way."

"Athanasia, if we're wrong, we have to apologize."

"Athy wasn't mistaken dad. The wrong mother on Athy!"

"Tell me why you're guilty of this?"

"Athy asked Mom to let Athy learn magic but she wouldn't let him."

"Did mom really not allow it? Athanasia sure of that?"

I immediately tried to explain it.

"No Claude, I'm not not allowing it just now it's not time for Athanasia to learn magic."

Claude stroked my hair. "I know baby, but I want Athanasia to explain it to herself."

Athanasia.

"How's Athanasia? Is it true that you didn't allow it?" ask Claude again to Athanasia.

Athanasia shakes. "No. Actually, mom's allowed it, but I'm saying no right now because Athy's too young to learn magic."

"No dad."

"So who should apologize now?"

Athy pointed to himself.

"Then apologize to your mother. Athanasia doesn't want to be a bad boy, does she?"

Athanasia came down from Claude's arms and stood before me. "Mother."

I squatted down to level Athanasia high. "Yes my daughter?"

"I'm sorry for Athy for saying bad things to me."

"Mother forgive me, but Athanasia can't do such a thing again huh? Can't argue with parents because it's not a good thing."

"Yes mother."

I stretched out my hand and Athanasia immediately ran into my arms.

"Sorry Athy, mother. Athy promised not to be naughty" he said again in tears.

I stroked Athanasia's back. "Yes yes. Athanasia was a good boy for admitting wrongdoing."

Her night.

Since Athanasia asked to sleep with me and Claude, so now the three of us are on the same bed. Athanasia and Claude were scrambling to sleep next to me, so I slept in the middle, Claude and Athanasia on my left right.

"Is this a real mom in the middle?"

"Yes, because Athy wants to sleep near the mother" replied Athanasia.

"But I also want to sleep near my mother" replied Claude.

"Everything that Athy set her mother to sleep in the middle so that the same father Athy can sleep before the mother."

I, who was worried about Athanasia, persuaded Claude to give up. "But if Athy sleeps on the sidelines it will fall. It's Athy's gapapa in the middle, daddy, what's up first, huh?"

"don't want. Anyway I want to sleep near you too" Claude refused.

"The father won't, mother. It's gapapa, Athy's big so it's impossible to fall."

I finally gave up on persuading them. None of them want to give up. They hugged me happily.

Soon afterwards there was a soft snoring from Athanasia. He had fallen asleep apparently and it looked like Claude had fallen asleep too. But I couldn't sleep because of what Lucas said. How does he know that my soul is not of this world? Ah yes in the novel as well he knows that Athanasian soul reincarnated repeatedly so it is not difficult for him to know the identity of my true soul as well. But what if one day this thing comes out? Will they all love and love me? Especially Claude. She does love Diana a lot but the one she loves is the real Diana is not a fake Diana like me. Will he dump me if he finds out the truth? Without realizing it, my tears had already dripped. As the matter began to come out of my lips, I tried to hold back the sobbing so as not to wake Claude and Athanasia.

"What's Diana?" ask Claude.

"Claude? Ah you woke up yes, I'm sorry" I said with a smile.

"Was you crying? I think I heard the sound of crying."

"No-no, you heard it wrong."

Claude got up and turned on the lights.

"Claude, Athanasia can wake up if you turn on a light like that."

Instead of listening to my words, Claude opened his hand and told me to get into his arms. For some reason I couldn't resist it, I finally got up and went into his arms.

Claude stroked my blonde hair. "Why? What makes you cry?"

I didn't answer. I can't stop these tears and the stuffing keeps coming out of my lips. Claude who asked finally remained silent. He chose to let me cry first.

I cried long enough until my eyes were swollen.

"Claude," call me.

"Yes baby?"

"Do you love Diana?"

Claude who was asked like that was also confused, especially I mentioned a name. But he still answered firmly. "of course. Why are you asking like that?"

I chuckle. "Yes, you love Diana."

But you love the real Diana. I said in my heart.

"I love you" he said, looking me in the eye.

No, you don't love me. The one you love is Diana. I said in my heart.

"Diana, you love me too, right?" ask Claude.

I'm nodding. "of course. I would do anything so that you and Athanasia could be happy, because I love you so much."

"That's enough. Don't think of anything weird about Diana, I know your mind is going nowhere. Who made you like this?"

Athanasia suddenly woke up. "Mother? Daddy's? What are you guys doing in the middle of the night like this?"

I looked towards Athanasia. "Come to Athanasia."

Athanasia approached and I pulled her to hold her. Athanasia was confused by my behavior. "Mom, did you cry?"

"No dear."

"Lied, daddy's wet shirt. Mom must have cried. What's up mom? Is dad naughty to mom? Tell Athy, Athy's gonna nag you."

I stroked Athanasia's hair. "No, I'm not naughty to mom. I was sad so I cried."

Athanasia hugged me tight. "Was Mom sad because of what I said this afternoon? Sorry mom. Athone wrong. Athy won't say that again. Athy dear mother."

I'm shaking. "No. I'm not sad about that."

"Then because of what? Has anyone said anything bad to you?" tanyakanya.

I didn't answer.

"Udah, now that we're sleeping again," I asked.

"Mother is not sad? If you are still sad gapapa nangis aja, Athy accompany kok."

"No. My mother is no longer sad. I was comforting mom."

"Why didn't you wake me? Though I also want to entertain mom and I'm certainly better at entertaining."

"What are you going to do to comfort me? Let me hear it, "Claude said.

"I can sing to my mother or tell her funny things" Athanasia replied.

"That's useless" Claude replied.

"Dad!" athanasia.

"What's? It does. There's a mother who's even saddened to hear your ugly singing" Claude said.

"Momuu, father said evil things to me" Athanasia told me.

"Look, instead of comforting mom, you made me comfort you who was angry. After all, I'm just telling you the facts."

Athanasia.

I immediately mediated them. "Already have. Claude don't fuck your daughter!"

Suddenly there was the sound of a sobbing from Athanasia's tiny lips.

"Athanasia, why baby?" manyworry.

"Momuuu, said the father of the voice of the ugly Athy" she cried.

I hugged him and calmed him down. "Father cup cup cup is just joking Athanasia. Athanasia's voice is good, it just needs practice."

Instead of subsiding, Athanasia's cries grew louder. "Upss it looks like I mispronounced. Claude come here, help me calm Athanasia down. It's also your fault for his taunting."

Claude held Athanasia and stroked her back. "Udah. Yes, the father was wrong Athanasia. I'm sorry, huh?"

"W-what's Athy's voice like that?" tanyakanya.

"No, Athy's voice is good. Just training again, right? Let me get the teacher to sing. Then when Athanasia is already better at singing then show it to father and mother."

Athanasia nodded.

"So stop crying now?"

Isakan Athanasia slowly stopped. Claude wiped the remaining tears on Athanasia's cheek. After that we went to sleep.
