From a King to a God [Awaken ]
Chapter IX
Orpheus D.Stark
" Please stay a little longer, it's a rare occasion for a member from the Vonsuen Family to visit the Divinus Church. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ What is he planning...]
" N-no, I'm really sorry but I have to leave right away. "
— She said, her words tainted with generosity but the reality was that she wanted to leave. Feeling sick of being here —
Orpheus D.Stark
" Oh my, why though if you don't mind me asking...?"
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" I...well I'm just feeling under the weather... "
Orpheus D.Stark
" Under the weather? Then please follow me and we'll pray for your well-being. We wouldn't want you to return to the Vonsuen Estate feeling unwell. How would your family think of the Divinus Church if we were to allow such ? "
— He placed his hand on his chest while also offering his other hand towards her, ready to lead her deeper into the Church. Although he did have quite little determination, he still felt it was necessary to do a small prayer in order to not tarnish the Divinus Church reputation —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
." I..I.. "
[ I can't go with him, I must leave ]
Priest Caelum (2)
Lady Athymathy. !
Priest Vernon (3)
" Lady Athymathy?From the Vonsuen Family?? "
Priest Caelum (2)
" Yes. "
— He turned to look at her —
" My lady, why did you start running? "
Orpheus D.Stark
" You were running? From who.?? "
Orpheus D.Stark
" From the priests.? "
Priest Vernon (3)
" Yes she was running away from us, saw it with my own two eyes. "
— He replied immediately, claiming that she was indeed running away —
Orpheus D.Stark
" Oh...my "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" I wasn't running away from you- actually...I was feeling sick so my vision became blurry and I had no choice but to run since I didn't want to inconvenience anyone... I apologize, I didn't see you
[ I hope they can't see through my lie. ]
— Tears ran down her eyes as she began to cry, sobbing non stop —
[ I must use whatever method I have in hand to escape before they find out ]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" I wouldn't want to trouble any of you, the family doctor is already waiting for me since we called him beforehand, he's an impatient man and very busy so I also don't want to inconvenience him as well ... "
— She tried to wipe her tears but only more came out —
[ The Family doctor never tends to me and only focuses on my Mother. Luckily, very little people outside the estate know that so I'm safe. ]
Priest Vernon (3)
" E-eh ?! She's actually crying ?? "
Priest Caelum (2)
— He nudged his arm —
" you imbecile, I apologize dearly for troubling you my Lady. We were unaware of your current situation. "
— He bowed down —
Orpheus D.Stark
" Yes, I apologize as well. Please, return to your home quickly and safely, your safety and well being is very much important. "
— He bowed down as well —
Priest Vernon (3)
" Y-yes, please return... And rest my lady"
— He bowed down hesitantly —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
'' Thank you. Sume, angel, let's go. We're leaving. "
Sume and Angel hurriedly brought Athymathy into the carriage as the coachman readied the carriage to leave.
The maids were worried about Athymathy but they knew she wouldn't answer their questions so they all remained silent.
Athymathy bid the Priests farewell before leaving right away, now on the road headed home.
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— She sighed deeply and heavily —
" That was tough, forcing out tears and trying to hold back your own vomit... I felt utterly disgusted and repulsed, I guess I understand why the Saintess constantly feels sick and always stays in her room. "
「Maid」Sume
— She remained silent —
「Maid」Angel
— She was hesitant at first but then decided to remain silent as well —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
“ Hmm... You two did an excellent job, I'll be sure to pay you all handsomely. "
[ Finally, I'm free. The Divinus Church... I never expected such to happen. What started off as simple talk that I could go back on whenever I so wanted became my sole goal and motivation to move forward in life ]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ Now... I'm immortal ... unless she was bluffing. I don't think the Saintess would simply lie about a matter regarding life or death, I have to think carefully now ..]
— She groaned a bit due to pain but now it had eased, making it easier to handle. She would then look out the window and see the scenery —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ So... I have to join Vermillion Academy huh, that's where I'll start with my search... ]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ In the end she said that I'll get my answer from God himself... Right and she also said that I need to look for her daughter? But shouldn't she be dead by now ? The third Emperor's reign was two thousand years ago, but the Saintess did say she was over 5 thousand years old ]
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
[ So her daughter might still be alive if the Saintess was able to live this long ]
" hahah.....hahahahahaha "
— She began to laugh, it was low at first but her laughter soon became audible and concerning. —
「Maid」Angel
" A-ah... "
— She turned to look at Sume —
「Maid」Sume
— Sume shrugged at her before looking back at her Lady —
" My lady.? "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
". Hahahaaa... immortality, Vermillion Academy?.. Saintess Aurelia, you truly know how to set the stage for someone to act in .. I'm tired "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
— She closed her eyes and fell asleep —
「Maid」Angel
— She whispered —
" I wonder what happened to our Lady, she seems tired but happy..? "
「Maid」Sume
"I don't think that's happiness... It sounds more like she was fooled and now she's laughing at herself..."
— She whispered back —
「Maid」Sume
" Either way, something happened between Saintess Aurelia and Lady Athymathy...so let's not try to get involved and just do as we're told .."
[ I don't want any trouble so I rather follow without question...]
「Maid」Angel
" Mhmmm..."
— She nodded out of agreement even though it made her unhappy —
Soon they arrived at the Vonsuen Estate. Athymathy woke up from her rest, and got out of the carriage alongside her maids.
Together they all walked inside the mansion, past the entrance now walking in the long hallways, headed towards Athymathy's room. The maids were walking right behind Athymathy when they saw the other servants up ahead.
Athymathy was forced to stop.
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" What is this? If you have nothing important to say, then leave my sight immediately "
Maid 2
" Hmpth-!!! Mistress! Do you see how she's acting? your poor servant did no wrong yet she's treating me like this! "
Maid 1
" Oh my...how horrible "
Butler
" Goodness gracious ! "
Butler 3
How horrible !! "
Nicole St.Vonsuen
" Silence now. "
— She lifted her hand —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Argh... "
[ Why did it have to be her...]
— Her eyes focused on the Maid from before —
[ You are the reason why...]
Maid 2
" Hehehe...-sniffs- "
— She sniffed a bit, clinging on to the Mistress —
Nicole St.Vonsuen
" Athymathy, I heard you were being troublesome to one of the maids "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Oh really now? I wonder what they said for you to even speak to me face to face. "
[ I'm stuck here... and you, Nicole... you're also... ]
Nicole St.Vonsuen
" Enough for me to know how unruly and disrespectful you are. To even treat one of the maids like that. "
[ This child, what a mess she is... I have to dispose of her or hide her presence in some way or else she'll embarrass the family. ]
— She looked down on Athy, her voice stern while her tone was commanding. As the Mistress of Vonsuen, she had to remain strong, diligent and strict even when it came to her own children —
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Mistress, I'm but a victim from such accusations. A maid is a woman who serves under someone else, lowly individuals. That maid you're trying to protect did not serve me well and even ignored my commands. "
[ The reason why my real Mother is suffering, always delaying her treatment...you want her dead don't you? I know you do. ]
Nicole St.Vonsuen
" All servants work under me, his Grace even made an announcement regarding the matter so whatever happens to them. You must go through me. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
" Wrong. "
Nicole St.Vonsuen
" Wrong.? What do you mean??. "
Athymathy St.Vonsuen
“ Hm... I'll gladly explain it you... ”
