"I think she doesn't need that anymore." Lucas said with his 'what the f*ck is happening right now' face. His bored eyes were laying on Ejikiel that was obviously smirking back at him.

"Uhm, Ejikiel thank you for the soup but Lucas was already feeding me the same thing. Still, thank you." She said, earning a SEE THAT? Look from Lucas to Ejikiel.

THIS WAS DEFINITELY AWKWARD. Athanasia thought inside her head for she was now having second thoughts why she invited Jennette and Ejikiel inside her room. Lucas kept on insisting that she should say AHHH every single time he puts the spoon right in front of her mouth.

The man with red ruby eyes laid his eyes with a smirk on his lips on Ejikiel, but on the other hand, Jennette felt a bit uneasy because she clearly saw how the tension grew and grew between the two. The woman quickly cleared her throat and smiled at Athanasia who was now slowly gulping the soup down her throat.

"Athanasia, are you really okay now? I mean we can ask for a few days of ab-"

"I'm okay Jennette. You can clearly see that these two won't stop not until I feel okay eh?" I responded making Jennette chuckle and nod her head. But still her eyes held that 'I have something to tell you' eyes.

A few hours later, I pouted my lips and nodded my head for almost the 5th time at Ejikiel. Jennette wants to go back and rest, she wanted to bring Ejikiel with her. As my eyes landed on her, I saw how she smirked and showed me two thumbs up and giggled softly making me confused. I furrowed my eyebrows and creased my forehead.

I heard how Lucas cleared his throat as he stood behind me with a smile like he was the winner. "You can go now, I would just make sure that Athanasia would sleep properly and go. Ejikiel, you don't have to be worried. I won't really do not do anything bad."

"I never mentioned anything about you doing something bad to Athanasia. I am just making sure that I am leaving her in safe hands. She still is the precious princess of—"

Lucas scoffed and was about to answer with his flaming and glaring eyes but Jennette quickly pulled Ejikiel away and waved her hands away from them. I just shook my head with closed eyes and slowly closed the door. I thought that Lucas wasn't in front of me anymore so I opened it only to be surprised that he was a lot closer to me than any other situations we had.

Blood started rushing to my cheeks as I felt my heart start to beat in a fast pace. A pinkish tint appeared on my face as I saw how he smirked and chuckled. He stood up properly and slowly ruffled his pitch black hair.

"Eh? Look at you, putting your guard down with me? You really feel close and relaxed with me huh?" Lucas said making me scoff as I crossed my arms against my chest with my chin held up high, I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"I was just tired Lucas, shut up." I said as I walked to my bed. I quickly sat down and sighed. "I think that I can sleep now—" Without even finishing what I was saying, Lucas shook his head and gave me a glass of water.

"Stop looking at it and drink. You really need that or else his Majesty would go crazy and literally run his way here when he finds out that you are sick. The academy would probably go down hill if so."

I nodded my head as I sighed before taking a sip of the water. Lucas was right, Daddy is so over protective of me, I mean I am very happy that he is! Some Emperor's or even nobles just sell their daughter offs to rich nobles or kings to satisfy their own needs. Disgusting seriously.

After finishing the whole glass of water, I gave it back to Lucas who nodded his head and sat back to the chair. He snapped his fingers and I felt how my body moved without even thinking. My eyes widened as I glared at him and he just me the a look like is there any problem?

"Are you seriously going to make me sleep? It's too early for that!" I complained as I groaned and shook my head while my body laid down the bed, Lucas snapped his fingers again, and now the soft covers slowly wrapped around my body.

"Yeah, you should sleep because you need a lot of energy or else I'll call his Majesty. Ya want that?" After those words left his lips I quickly closed my eyes making him chuckle.

As Athanasia slowly left and went to dreamland. Lucas yet again ruffled his hair due to frustration as he slowly and still making sure that he won't make a sound while walking to Athanasia's terrace. He looked up and saw how the moon was shining brightly today.

"This was never planned out. Fvck, why am I even doing this sh*t?" Lucas blurted out still whispering for he did not want to wake Athanasia who was sleeping peacefully with a warm yet small smile plastered on hee face, as she slowly moved around the covers.

Lucas washed his face using both of his palms and chuckled. "Guess I'm changing plans for now." He said and looked up. "I—" he whispered while looking at Athanasia with a small smile plastered on his face.

I slowly scratched my closed eyelids, I guessed what time is it inside my brain. I was about to stand up but stopped when I felt something heavy beside my legs. My eyes widened when I saw Lucas sleeping while his head leaned on the side of the bed and he was sitting down the chair.

"Ah seriously." I said as I shook my head slowly. "Lucas, what are you still doing here? Sleep inside your godda—"

I stopped. As my face started to burn due to blushing.
