.........
On top of a large tree so dense in leaves, sat a cute little girl hugging a white fox of hers.
From behind the crevice of the leaves, sunlight accompanied the warmth of the day. The little girl continued to laugh happily at the sight of someone next to her.
"Can Lucy ask? Is brother the prince sent to pick me up?"
"Pick you up?"
"Hm! Mama said, The Prince will pick up the Princess to be able to live together. Lucy sees Brother as a prince to Lucy, and thanks for saving Molie Lucy loves big brother hehehe ...."
"You like me?"
"Very.so fascinating Brother."
The cloaked figure smiled looking at the innocent laughter of the little girl next to him.
"In that case, quickly grow up, Mr. My daughter ..."
---.β’Β° π Β°β’.---
Slowly both of Lucy's eyes began to move open, her vision briefly sowing before finally becoming clear. Lucy felt dizzy and also both her eyes felt sore due to her cries that were so thick.
Lucy sees this not in her room but still feels familiar. Ah, not familiar anymore but this room was hers as a child, it's north of the castle now.
He misses his innocent figure without knowing anything and thinks this life is a fairy tale.
But time continues to mature him where he must realize that all that was just a delusion as a child.
"You're aware of my daughter ...."
"Mother,"
Lezzy came to bring her a warm soup for her daughter. After a long argument with Welliam and Fedrick about Harlie, they finally decided to shut themselves down without anyone having to break the relationship between the emperor and the people.
"Eat some of this soup, baby."
Lucy grabs the bowl of soup her mother gave her, she is quiet a little of that porridge. He remembered every childhood he was sick his mother would make this soup for him, hoping he would be better.
"Thank you ma'am ..β
" Lily share your story with my dear mother."
Lucy stopped eating the soup, she saw her mother's worried face. Surely at this time his Father and Brother are in a bad state if he sees his mother in worry.
"Lucy's fine Mom"
"You sure? Don't lie to my dear mother anymore ...."
Tears came back to her eyes. Of course Lucy isn't okay, she still needs a place to lean to share this pain.
"Mother, why should I experience this. Was Lucy not such a good Princess that the Gods punished me?"
"No dear, you have a soft heart. Do you remember mom's message when you were a kid?"
"Message ...."
"One day, when you grow up. There's a lot of things out there waiting for you."
"A big deal?"
Lezzy felt dejavu with this incident, seeing her daughter sitting on her bed early reminded her of all the expectations of her Little Princess.
"Yes, those are all things you have to get through. Not that fate hates you, but everyone has a big problem in their life. We've been through it."
"Dad and Mom were in Lucy's position?"
"Yes, though the case is a little different ...."
But I have to apologize, if all the problems that Welliam and you Lucy-began our problems first, so you have to imitate for the survival of this nature.
"Mother's right, real life is a true fairy tale. I'm too childish, I should be a grown-up girl and try to choose what's best for me-how stupid I am ...."
Forgive Lucy's mother, I can't tell you the truth-that any descendant of Selini Thea he's gonna go through this fleeting thing. You do not have the slightest trace of a Demon, but rather the blood of the gods is inherent in you as its generation ....
When the time comes, I'll tell you everything Lucy.
"Sleep baby, I hope you can learn and try to forget it ...."
Lucy simply smiled, then took the most comfortable position on her bed. Today too much happened that he was eager to leave this world.
"Mother, what...., is mom angry?"
"Mom will never blame you."
"What about Brother and Dad?"
".......tomorrow we will discuss, now rest."
Lezzy walked away and closed the door to her daughter's room, which had begun to dissolve in her exhaustion. Perhaps, Lucy's life is the toughest among them.
But Lezzy believes the sun will soon greet the stars at dawn. Now, let him understand for himself who he really is.
"Mother, is Lucy asleep?" Aletha who was still worried wanted to see her sister immediately after she tried to calm Welliam who almost drained the sea water.
"He's asleep. Aletha, you know best about Selini's descendant Thea. I hope you can watch his progress."
"Mother don't worry, the Wisteria family has always served the Empress of the Moon."
"Thank you, please take a look at her, I'm sure Lucy is devastated."
"Good mother."

From an open window the night breeze plunged into Lucy's room, making silk-thin curtains flutter very gently.
From behind the curtains was a shadow of someone sitting in the window frame, the figure walked then sat next to Lucy.
Her golden hair that was splashed with the moonlight was so very shiny. His hands were so dashing caressed Lucy's beautiful face, his jewel-like eyes were so incredibly charming.
"Tonight, you're still crying. Can't it just be me you see?"
"I don't understand, lately every night you've been with him in bed. But, you still don't dare to tell me the truth."
The figure glanced at a woman standing in front of the door. True, he is Aletha who intends to see Lucy, but only silence when he sees the figure coming to Lucy who has fallen asleep.
"Could this be the reason you took over the throne?"
"You're a hard man to guess. So, do you still blend into humans on earth?"
"I want to introduce the outside world to him, show him the true meaning of freedom and bring him into my life. But---he still doesn't recognize me and just keeps seeing that guy!"
"recognise you? I was wondering, have you ever met before?"
The figure was only silent yet a smile carved on his lips. He got up and walked back to the window, looking at the moon that could make his pink eyes look so beautiful.
"Right now your job is to watch over him, don't let that man touch my Empress until his ascension. Never again does this happen. You are still part of Imorrtal and I am the Emperor of the heavens, so remember this Arthena Polemou!"
The figure disappeared just as the strong wind arrived. While Aletha let out a long sigh, she approached Lucy and pulled a blanket over her shoulder to warm her sister.
He looks at the moon tonight, maybe his choice to take Lucy to a party is the wrong choice. But Aletha wants Lucy to know that she still has to choose between the kings to be her Vasilias.
Aletha closes Lucy's bedroom window and walks out of the room, leaving tonight's conversation a secret to protecting the last month's descendants.
"Good night, Lucy ...."
---.β’Β° π Β°β’.---
The day changes following the turn of the time axis. It's been a week since such a troubling incident - and it's been a week that Lucy has been locked up in her room without any care on her tiny face.
He did not touch the food the servant had sent him, repeatedly Welliam tried to persuade his sister but as a result-Lucy remained reluctant to speak.
Lezzy was so hurt that he saw his daughter becoming quieter than usual, he only saw Lucy brooding on the edge of the balcony of the room. He thought that giving more attention and a whole family would make his son much happier.
Because Lezzy does not want his two children to experience loneliness like it used to be, who always expected a whole family full of affection. But it seems like the foundation of the family is only the roots to help him stand, while the bud he must find his own sun that can shine on him.
Lezzy, who was about to meet her daughter, withdrew and closed the door again. She walked towards the family room, lately her husband has become more out of the kingdom.
As many spread false news about Lucy to defame her daughter, Fedrick became enraged and went back to killing her subjects who never obeyed imperial orders.
If only he had not thought of his daughter, perhaps today the merrmaids became enemies of the Kingdom. Harlie also now began to show the nature of his bodoamate to the noble court.
Fedrick is furious that he is deeply hurt to see his daughter suffer because of her relationship. That's why Fedrick has always hated this tradition, but somehow people like them are created a little different from humans.
The living room door opened, revealing Aletha, Welliam and Fedrick sitting in their seats. Looks like her husband and son just got back from a meeting.
Lezzy had thought about it carefully, and it had become her unanimous determination to be able to see her daughter cheerfully again. Or indeed this was the best choice, it was time for her daughter to allow the freedom to judge for herself this world.
Welliam who saw his mother just standing quietly-as if to say something approached him. "What's the matter, mom?"
Lezzy took a deep breath, then looked at his family. "I have decided, for now Lucy will stay on Earth until she is good enough for her."
Fedrick and Welliam looked surprised by Lezzy's decision. While Aletha was so stunned and seemed to understand something.
If Lucy goes to Earth, it might just-so once it's all still not over for her ....
"I don't agree! Lezzy the human world is not very good for a people like us."
"What is not good, the earth is a neutral position. Aletha can survive for centuries there? Didn't I ever tell you that I want our children to live a normal life like humans?"
"But I've also said that our children need a life that supports their environment. Earth is not a place of gods or of the night like us? We also don't know, whatever she's doing there, Lucy needs our Lezzy's supervision."
"Fedrick, he's not a kid anymore, you said it's time he saw the outside world. When do we want to stop it? Everything you want I've been following in raising him, but as a result we still can't give him the best."
"But Lezzy----"
"Not always can parents manage the lives of their Sons, even if it is the best - but they know better which is best for them. Lucy has her own choice, it's time we just look at all her efforts and wait for the slightest tidings. Let her calm herself down, and I and Aletha have lived there too and we know that the human world is a good place for her condition right now, understand Fedrick."
Fedrick still looks reluctant. To be honest, he wanted his daughter to always stick to her childhood that always held her fingers and depended on her.
It might sound funny if a Dad doesn't want his daughter to be away from him, but Fedrick wants only him a Dad who is able to protect his baby from his weakest condition.
"Allow Lucy to go to Earth, Father ...."
They all saw Lucy who had been at the door since when. Actually, Lucy wanted to talk about this as well. He labors his own time to forget everything, even though the Earth is not what he thinks.
But it seems, the human world could be a place to suit him. Maybe he could forget the pain.
"Lucy ...."
"Dad, Lucy was tired .., Lucy wanted to mature by Lucy's own choice. I also need time to forget everything that happened to my life, I want to end this suffering immediately. Not that Lucy hates Dad, just that Lucy wants to solve all the problems in Lucy's life without having to rely on Dad or the people closest to me."
"But Lucy---"
"Please, Dad ...."
Fedrick couldn't see his daughter's sad face. He also misses Lucy's cheerful greeting at every meeting, Fedrick so aware if he insists on reining in his daughter. Didn't he resemble his late father who was so hard on him?
"Well, I'll let you go to Earth. But remember, you have to be careful there."
"Thank you, Lucy dear Dad ...."

...NEXT EPISODE OF SPOILER !!!...
.... π ....
"I wonder, who is this company that dares to compete with my wife?"
"Hm, did I not say yes? About Helios Group?"
Welliam shook his head, "it seems not yet."
"Helios Group is the number 1 company on Earth and the owner is the Celestial Emperor, Kendric Athananysous Helios."
"What?!!"
Β
"I can't linger on earth, so I want to tell you. That Lucy is currently on Earth---"
Kendric dropped his phone, standing still in the middle of a road crossing. He quickly turned his head back, could it be that the woman he was talking to was him?
He grabbed the woman's hand so that she turned to him, letting her Savier eyes stare at him.
"Lucy ...."
"You, know me?"
That day, among the Maple trees that fell on each other and in the midst of the crowds of people who passed. I can still only see you as one, I feel grateful that you chose to forget her ....
"I've come to pick you up, Mr. My daughter ..."
