"OH MY GOD! PRINCESS WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!?" I can hear the horror in Lily's voice that echoed within the whole garden, I'm very sure that Daddy heard her too.

"Lily, no need to shout!" I smiled and stood up on the branch where the weird guy was, yes. I climbed up the tree. How? Oh god, you don't need to know.

"I-IF HIS MAJESTY SAW YOU--"

"ATHANASIA? Come down!" I saw Daddy and smiled, I waved my hand, I saw how Felix looked pale.

"Aww, but it's fun! I can see everything from up here" I happily clapped my hands as though I can't hear them. I sighed and started going down

"Princess wait slow down!--" Felix didn't finish what he was going to say when I missed a step while I was going down the tree, Oh no. Is this how I'm going to die--

"argh!" I heard Daddy groaning, no pain. "You're heavy aren't you, Athanasia?" My eyes widened, Oh no! Daddy save me! I fell on top of him

"Daddy are you okay!?" My blue yet diamond eyes looked so worried that Daddy chuckled and nodded.

"Why did you go up there Athanasia?" He asked me while we were walking back to his palace for some tea, and of course for me to eat some sweets!

"Sorry Daddy, I was curious with what's going on outside" I pouted my lips and he sighed

"I just can't let you go outside by yourself Athanasia" he said and I looked at him

"Then I'll go with Felix!" I said and pointed at him, his eyes widened

"Felix 5 steps" Daddy said and Felix took 5 steps away from us, I raised an eyebrow and I saw Lily chuckling.

"Y-Your Majesty can I walk with you--"

"5 steps Felix" I saw how he looked like a puppy that did something wrong. Aww!

"By the way Daddy, Summer break is almost over and I'm going back to the academy, I'll miss you Daddy!" I said and hugged his arm.

THERONDIA ACADEMY, is one of the biggest and most respected academy out there, and there we learn magic, politics, etiquette, etc. It's a new school for everyone to be honest.

A school where boys and girls are blended in one school, we have our own dorms. Of course seperate buildings.

For the past years, the empire-- no I should say maybe the whole world? Hahaha I'm not very sure, changed.

We used to go in carriages and now we go in cars that aren't that far from carriages with those fancy designs and stuff. We still write and have some penpals, well I do have my own penpal! Jennette, my lovely cousin and Ejikiel.

We've been close since childhood and all I can say is, AAAA I MISS THEM! I haven't seen them since summer break started, I had all of my time and attention with having fun and sometimes teasing Daddy, of course I missed everyone in the Palace too! Especially Lily and Felix.

"What are you planning to do after your studies in that Academy?" He asked while looking at me, I was silently eating the sweets right infront of me.

"Hmm, Daddy--" I stopped and continued chewing the food and continued talking "well, I am the next empress right? So I want to take lessons to on how I can be the next empress and what I should do and stuff like that"

He just nodded in response. I continued eating and talking to Daddy, it was a fun day to be exact.

The day that I need to go back to the academy came, and everyone was kind of sad that they won't see me again after a few months. I am too, I'll miss them!

"Please do take care of yourself Princess" Felix said and I smiled. They are not coming with me because I requested to Daddy that I want to have a normal school life but I'm sure that there are skilled knights roaming around

"Are you sure that you don't need me Princess Athanasia?" Lily said, I nodded and hugged them

"I know your song" I whispered, their eyes widened and Lily's face became red as for Felix's ear turned into red too! Ahhh, cuties.

"You sure love to tease them don't you?" I heard Daddy's voice coming from the entrance, I ran to him and hugged him tightly

"Athy will miss you daddy!" I saw his small smile that he tried to hide from me, aw daddy! Still shy when you smile infront of me? I kissed his cheeks and waved goodbye to everyone as I step inside the car that Daddy gave me as a gift.

I shut my eyes while on the road, ahhh I'm going back to hell- just kidding! Even if you say that Therondia is one of the best academy out there but still the education there is pretty hard Nobles, Witches (in the making) and other Royals are studying there, they went crazy when they found out that I was going there too.

Well to be honest, I am excited to meet new people especially witches in the making! I mean, I want to learn magic too but Daddy said I still can't control my mana, sigh.

Too bad then, I really wanted to do those cool tricks too! I opened my eyes and saw the beautiful view right infront of me.

My guess is I'd arrive on the academy, maybe at the afternoon? I tried to sleep, but I kept on remembering the song and that boy!

I shook my head, no. I should stop thinking about him! Athanasia stop thinking about him.

I finally arrived and I saw Jennette and Ejikiel, I smiled and waved my hand, while I was walking to them something caught my eye, the garden entrance of the academy, where there were fountains and alot of trees with beautiful roses and many more, I saw those pair of red ruby eyes looking at me with the same expression that was written on my face.

We were both shocked to see each other at the academy.
