From a King to a God [Awaken ]
Chapter II
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Brothers !! We're here !!!
— Cassy happily got on to the carriage, assisted by the Servants —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Ah yes... brothers..."
[ Two people, who barely or don't like me at all, are seated in three. Waiting for me. One doesn't think of me at all and acts like I'm invisible...the other however...]
— She slowly walked closer to the carriage —
Servant
" May I assist..? "
— He extended his arm —
The servant offered his hand, ready to assist Athymathy into the carriage, but Athy was hesitant. She knew they wouldn't treat her with any respect but was also aware that taking too much time would only lead her to the same fate, in the end, Athy agreed
And the Servant assisted her in getting inside the carriage
Seated, opposite to her brothers but parallel to her sister Cassiopeia
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
.....
— She remained silent, not even bothering to greet —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
— Cassiopeia looked around for a moment, wondering why everyone was dead silent and why Athy didn't greet —
" Huh....huuhh??? "
Unknown
Don't look so surprised Cassy, remain seated and don't cause a scene, you wouldn't want to turn out like your sister would you?
???
Brother is right, Athymathy's bad habits are starting to rub off on you, try to avoid her every now and then.
— He calmly said, in an audible tone as well. —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" But brother Reverin !!! You can't say that!!! Athy still has feelings and she's right here you know !!
— She clenched her fists and pouted —
Reverin St.Vonsuen
It's the truth and she's aware of it, I don't see anyone here worth lying about. I'm just being honest
— He shrugged —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Reverin Vonsuen, my younger brother. A prodigy you can say, able to utilise 12 spells in one go without draining all of his mana or passing out, well learnt as well with over a hundred academic trophies, he's only 14...yet ]
" hmm..."
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Reverin !!!!!! "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Heh "
— He looked at the side, avoiding her piercing gaze —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ He has far too many achievements...too many for me to even list out due to how tedious the process would be, sadly his achievements are only a mere quarter compared to what I've done as Chaiya...]
.."..."...
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
And you! Did you think I forgot about you !!! "
— She pointed at her other brother instead —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Runerth !!! "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" Dearest sister, please calm yourself. The day is still long and we just got out of a long activity. "
— Runerth said in a stern yet respectful tone. Ensuring that his kindness did not side out his authority over his siblings. —
" Reverin is correct, Athy has troublesome habits. She delayed us for exactly 2 minutes, with such a time alot could have been accomplished. "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" ever heard of...time is money..? "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" But that doesn't mean you get to treat Athy like that.. Hmpth, meany..."
— Cassy grew more upset, she crossed her arms and decided to look out the window —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
....
[ hmm...]
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" I do apologize, hey, how about we go to the Vorster Festival? It can be me,you and Reverin if he is interested in going? "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Huh?! Of course no-
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Yes !!!!! Yes of course!! I'd be more than excited to join! It would be great if dearest brother Reverin were to join !! I'm glad he agreed!!! "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Huh !!? When did I say ye- "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
it's settled, then all three of us will be going to the Festival. "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" yaay...!!! "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Hey?! I didn't even get a say in this ?! "
Together the three agreed on attending the Festival, even though they kept on cutting off Reverin, they still acted like caring and loving Siblings.
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Oh...how strange, Runerth, Cassiopeia and Reverin... acting like model siblings, to think that these three actually cared for each other...to think that I envied them..]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ and tried so hard to fit in...but my desperate attempts only dug my grave deeper...]
— Her gaze shifted as it focused heavily on Runerth —
[ Runerth...you, the one who framed me...forged all of those fake crimes, and caused the Kingdom to fall, just so you can stand on the top ..]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ And appear as the Hero...
An Emperor? What a joke...
But I'm no interested in you.]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[... I've died twice, now on my third life. I don't want to try anymore. I've lived long enough, I've seen enough of the world... I've breathed enough of it's air...]
— Her gaze sharpened, unaware of how noticeable her gaze is, she continued on to stare almost as if she was staring into the abyss —
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" hmm..? Athymathy? "
— He could feel her intensive stare, that he couldn't help but take notice of it. He then averted his attention, now focused on Athy —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Runerth...you killed me
You killed Cassiopeia...mother,father. Everyone, even those who were willing to kiss your feet and run naked for you... but left her...alive, why? ]
— Athymathy unintentionally ignored Runerth, she had fallen deep into her thoughts already, that anything else said to her would only be words with no weight to force her awake. —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
Sister !.
— She Shaked Athy's shoulders —
" Hey hey, you must wake up now. We've arrived at the Mansion, you should hurry up
you wouldn't want to anger Father again...would you? "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" O-oh ??..oh yes, you're right, I mustn't do such or else father would indeed be angered..
[ I must've got caught up in my thoughts...as usual..]
The carriage had finally arrived, another servant came and opened the door, helping the ladies first then the men. All four of them walked into the mansion
Runerth, Reverin and Cassiopeia walked together like caring siblings, everybody adored and admired them
While Athymathy
Nothing more than just a shadow
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ The Mansion hasn't changed much, can't believe I thought the mansion was ugly for its colours, it actually looks nice... adequate to be fair ]
— Athymathy took a moment to look around and admire the Scenery, the mansion was well built with old decorations that gave it an old time feel and style. Unique and Nostalgic —
The Mansion was built hundreds of years back, each Head of the family barely changed the design of the Mansion and kept a vast majority of it's aspects the way it is
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" My Ancestors had good taste at the very least...
— Athy mumbled to herself before walking inside the Mansion —
The corridors were tall, silent, it had instantly darkened when there was a bit of Sunlight outside, this was nothing new to Athy, even though she wasn't herself for the last two years, she still lived here before.
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
Dark as always...I just wish they could lighten the place up a bit..
— She let out a soft sigh, her mood had sullen quite a bit but she didn't mind much considering how she has lived here for almost her entire life —
Runerth St. Vonsuen
you know it would go against our Ancestors wishes "
— He replied, not minding the design ad architecture of the area —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Hmpth, of course you wouldn't mind, this style also suits you unlike big and bright colours..."
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" The founder of the family and creator of this very household we live in. Created out of love, dedication and passion, all of their hardwork and effort put into this household "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" So Cassy, I do hope you can see this house in a different light and not just some gloomy mansion but it was built from simply being a shack to a Mansion now. "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Huh, I guess when you put it like that...well...yeah "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" it does sound pretty good and beautiful as well.! "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
— Chuckles
" heh, that's because it is "
Cassiopeia was effortlessly amazed by Runerth, Reverin had no thought on the matter while Athymathy was the opposite.
Her thoughts spiralling out and about in her mind, with no end.
These thoughts centred around one name, one individual
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Runerth... Look at you...]
— Her gaze began to sharpen once more, now heavily focused, the atmosphere around her grew heavier with each step she took —
[ You fill her head with sweet thoughts... treat her like a precious diamond, but in reality it was not her..it was never her who you deeply cared for ...]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ That woman...who is she...why her, for you to bring the Kingdom into ruins during its most critical state, when lost in confusion, midst the chaos you rose from the depths of hell and slaughtered everyone who was part of the Imperial Family, just for her...why? Just-why...]
In the end, her questions remained unanswered, for her questions referred to future events. Events that nobody knew except herself so far.
And finally they reached the Doors leading to their Father.
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Hmm..
[ Not necessarily ready to enter and see the man who has gifted me all of these luxuries
but hey, beggars can't be choosers right? ]
— She let out a deep yet faint sigh, ready to face whatever the doors held back infront of her —
