Chapter 3:The cure!

As Athanasia was thinking about that time like she was already old when she was only five years old Lucas came running carrying a book, he even asked her to call every one including her father, the emperor…

Soon everyone came to the room and asked Lucas to speak, instead of speaking Lucas opened the book he was carrying and said to read it.

It said that the only cure for having both magical powers and divine powers is to actually become half mermaid and live with them if lucky you will be fully cured and accepted by them if not you will get a lifetime worth of knowledge.

Claude looked at Athanasia who agreed that she was willing to go, but as Claude was scared that he will lose his daughter also, so he didn't make decisions hastily and immediately informed the Josepha Empire and after some days the reply was to let her try the cousins were really sad as their youngest is going away, especially Francis who was a typical siscon for this cousin of his.

After the goodbye, Claude opened the passage to the secret place.

After reaching the sacred lake they waited for the merman king to come

"

"Greetings emperor of Obelia"

"Greetings king Stephen"

The king looked at Athanasia and said,"She has the potential for this, but I have some conditions 1)Until she is completely fine she is not allowed to meet you face to face, you can talk daily only with voice.

2)she should also be responsible for mermaids and call me father.

3)After going back home after recovering she should come and visit us occasionally, deal?

Claude took a deep breath and then agreed.

Stephen,"Let's start the ritual, after the ritual without looking at them, you have to enter the lake, got it ?

Yes, replied Athanasia

After the ritual where Athanasia will turn into a mermaid as she wishes her left without looking back and went down the lake.

Claude and Lucas looked at the lake for some time and then left.

...----------------...

Time passes quickly Athanasia now like a full-fledged mermaid quickly got along with each other, the mermaid took her as their princess and respected her and liked her.

One day she noticed Claude's presence by the lake, she couldn't meet him but missed him very much, so she secretly went above to watch her father.

......................

It's been five years since I last met my daughter, Claude sighed, he really missed her.

Occasionally he would even have illusions that she recovered and came back, but then she would disappear, only then he would find out that he was hallucinating.

He had to leave soon as there is so much work ,suddenly Claude felt like he sensed something and looked around but noticing that no one is there he left ,what Claude didn't know was a few minutes after he left a small head came to the surface

Athanasia looked at Claude's retreating figure and went back down.
