From a King to a God [Awaken ]
Chapter III
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— She inhaled then exhaled —
" let's do this "...
Behind the two large doors
Is a man who holds great influence, power and trust amongst the denizens of the Kingdom of Alphia
This man, given the title of "Duke" went on to many wars and battles to keep the Kingdom safe, but in due time he has also went on to settle down and have a family of his own.
At first it was out of pure love...now...
Maid 1
—She carefully knocked on the door, patiently waiting for an answer. —
" Your Grace, your offsprings have to come to meet you. May you be so kind enough to open the doors? "
It was silent for a moment.
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
..."huh..."
The door then slowly unlocked, revealing a tall figure.
Out of everyone there Cassiopeia was the most excited but still kept her composure.
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
." Well Greetings everyone, it is an honour to see you all here gathered together unharmed or disturbed in any way. Please do come in, his Grace has been waiting.
— He opened the door widely so and gestured them to enter —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
— She smiled brightly —
" Don't mind if I do, thank you very much Sir Cyrus! "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Yes, thank you Sir Cyrus "
— He bowed down a bit —
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" Sir Cyrus "
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
". Your highness, yes ?
Runerth St. Vonsuen
— He nodded —
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
" Ah, yes. "
— He slightly bowed down a bit, he immediately knew what his gesture meant and was fairly pleased by it —
Everybody entered excluding Athymathy, who was left behind outside of the room.
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
.."...."..
[ This room...brings back memories I must say...]
— She carefully examined the room before shrugging off the feeling of fear and worry that began to creep up on her —
[ Normally I'd be scared...as always, but now I'm no longer my old self...I changed, not for the better nor even the worse...just between the fine line...of good and evil..]
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
Ehem...
[ It's her...Miss Athy..]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— she took a few steps forward, closer and closer to the door, her hands clenched on to her dress tightly. Not sure of what to expect —
" Hmm... "
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
[ I wonder if she'll be flirty or throw a tantrum again..no matter. I've grown accustomed to it...]
" Greetings Miss..."
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Yes, salutations Sir Cyrus "
— She stopped midway, standing side by side with Cyrus —
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
" A lovely day isn't it Milady...? Please do enter though, his grace has urgent news to share... "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Understood, I thank thee ... "
— Athy said, her final words before she entered —
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
— His eyes widened out of shock, he immediately turned his head to see her walking in. Cyrus felt relieved, with an abundance of happiness to see Athymathy slowly change —
" Ah...I can't help but smile...
Are all of those years of caring for her finally paying off...? I'm truly happy...
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
" Thank you Miss Athymathy..."
— He said, those words came from the bottom of his heart, feeling nothing but utter happiness and joy to see her change her attitude a bit —
~Meanwhile~
~Inside the Office~
Maid 1
" Your grace, here they are as you have requested. "
— She backed away to the side, giving them space —
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Hmm "
— He leaned forward on his couch and went over to grab his cup of tea, without having to blow a gentle breeze on it he went on right way to drink it —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
[ I-isn't that tea still hot...? Oh my...Father has always been like this...]
" Mhm..." -she gulped a bit-
Reverin St.Vonsuen
[ He's always been called the man of steel...]
—His eyes wandered off to the side—
Runerth St. Vonsuen
. . . .
[. . . .]
— Runerth carefully observed his father's movements and actions with precision and accuracy —
The silence was deafening, the atmosphere didn't make it any better. Nothing could save Cassiopeia or Reverin from the dead silent moment...or is there ...?
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— She slowly walked into the living space, not bothering to take in the design of the room, she stood right behind the three in order to avoid being seen —
.."..."..
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
" Ah yes, everyone is here. My grace, your children have arrived. Miss Cassiopeia, Mister Reverin, Mister Runerth.
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
And..
— He turned to face Athy —
" Miss Athymathy"
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Uh, Athymathy you said huh? "...
— He placed his cup down on the table —
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
— he respectfully nodded —
" yes. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Guess my hiding spot didn't work..]
— She sighed out of disappointment, hoping that she wouldn't have to engage in much of a conversation with her father. She then moved over and stood beside Runerth —
."...".
[ Atleast my presence can annoy Runerth in the meantime ]
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Well, everyone is finally here. How was the tea party.? "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" It was splendid father, we thank you heavily for allowing us to go out in your garden. "
Runerth St. Vonsuen
" The same as Reverin, it was fairly well. Thank you Father "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" It was such a blissful time that I almost wish I could never leave, thank you father for asking and permitting us. "
— She slightly bowed —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— She remained silent —
. . . ."
Orca St.Vonsuen
Hmm ..? Athymathy? Don't you have something to say?.. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" No, not at all but thank you for asking. "
— Her voice stern and indifferent, showing no bit of gratitude —
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Huh? "
[When did she change and start acting in that manner? She'd normally be the loudest and even attempt to hug me in the process...]
" The tea party, was it not to your liking? "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Not at all, it was dull and boring. Also tacky and colourful. Whoever chose those decorations is truly blind to beauty and aesthetics "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Huh ?!? "
— She gasped in shock —
[ Tacky?! Boring!? And blind to beauty and aesthetics?!? WHAT?!? ]
Cassiopeia was frozen in shock as Reverin coughed a bit, not certain of how things would go now that Athy said that
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Hmm, I see. Not a fan of bright and colourful thing's huh, just like your old Grandfather. "
— He chuckled a bit, his small and short laughter filling the atmosphere a bit, not with joy but rather interest —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Yes,I am not. "
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Well fine by me, if you ever want to host a tea party just come over to your father or Cyrus. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Understood. Thank you Father "
— She bowed a bit —
The three were stunned including Runerth. It was a first time since they've ever seen their Father Orca and their sister Athymathy hold out a conversation longer than 30 seconds.
But neither of them thought too much about it, most specialy Reverin wo immediately lost interest right away and thought of himself afterwards.
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Now I didn't call you all over just so we can speak on small matters, rather I called you here to inform you about the grand opening of Vermillion Academy. "
Orca St.Vonsuen
" The Academy is one of the best institutions here in Alphia as it is known world wide that it is the only Academy that ever took part in the first World war, Originally as a Magic Tower that protected and oversaw all magical items. "
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Centuries have passed and now here it is, as a magical institution ready to take in new applicants. Cassiopeia, Reverin "
— His attention now focused on her and Reverin —
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
" Yes father ? "
— She stepped closer —
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" Yes father .? "
— He stood a bit more closer —
Orca St.Vonsuen
You two, will be joining the Academy this year, pass the exam and stand at the very top of the School , I believe both of you will be as exceptional as your Brother here. "
Cassiopeia St. Vonsuen
Yes, understood Father "
Reverin St.Vonsuen
" I understand Father, thank you for this opportunity. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
Hmm..."
[ Cassiopeia, 15 years old...Reverin who's only 14, Cassiopeia was supposed to join last year but was delayed due to an accident when she was returning back home from her vacation. ]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Then the gates closed and it was too late to submit her application and partake in the entrance exam..shame, atleast this year it'll be different ]
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Also, your mother seems to be improving a bit, do either of you wish to see her? "
— He went over to pick up his cup of tea then noticed that his tea had gone cold —
" Hmm.
Cyrus D. Hart|❦
" I'll get you a fresh cup of tea my grace. "
— He immediately left and sought out for the Maidens to bring in a tray with a fresh hot cup of tea —
Everyone else remained, feeling reluctant and uninterested in seeing their mother. Orca immediately took notice of it and waved his hand, dismissing them
Orca St.Vonsuen
" hmm.."
— He stared, deeply at his cold tea. It brought back unpleasant memories but he immediately shook it all off —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
.."...."..
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Hm..hmm?? "
— Suprised, he didn't realise Athymathy was still there —
" Athymathy, why are you still here? I dismissed you, did you not hear? "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" I heard, but I decided to stay...You said Mother is feeling better, I'd like to see her. "
Orca St.Vonsuen
" You? See her? Well that I can permit but may I know the reason as to why you'd like to see her now after all this time...?
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" ....hmm."
[ Why do I want to see my mother who's in her deathbed.? I mean, it's not like I was close to her..]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ So why does my heart ache a bit..hm, maybe it's because she was the only one...]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ The only one who tried to protect me and even shed tears for me...]
Orca St.Vonsuen
"Athymathy? "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" I just want to see her... that's all, see how my actual mother is doing before the end..."
Orca St.Vonsuen
" Ah-
— He was stunned for a bit, but didn't take much time to respond back —
". I see, you may go "
Orca, Athy's father wrote down a letter and gave it to her. This letter would serve as a key allowing Athymathy to enter her mother's room since it's guarded by Knights.
