Athy's POV

"Princess... His Majesty requests your presence..." Lily said with a concerned face.

What? Why does he want to see me after what I said?

I frowned, but then immediately froze.

Does he... Want to kill me?

Then, I as reminded of the suffocating feeling.

At the moment I felt like I couldn't breathe, I held my neck.

"Heuk.. Heuk..."

It was very similar as to when I was hung.

Slowly suffocating.

I was terrified.

I don't want to die...!

"Princess!"

I then snapped out of it. And I could finally breathe again.

I gasped for air.

"Haah... Haah..." Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"P-princess..! Are you okay?!" She ran to me and grabbed my shoulders.

For a moment... I thought I'd die.

"I am. L-let's go now.."

"Princess..."

"I'm taking my leave now."

--------

"Blessings and Glory upon the Obian empire." I avoided my his eyes as I bowed.

"Sit." He commanded, I then sat down.

"What do you want, your majesty?" I looked away.

"..."

There was a long pause, I finally decided to look at the table.

C-cakes.?

Without my knowledge, my eyes beamed with excitement, and my mouth watered.

"So you like sweets?"

My excitement was immediately crushed.

"Tsk. What do you think?" I didn't look at him in the eye.

"..You got quite the attitude."

Ha, says the one who killed all his concubines in front of his child without a reason.

Of course, I didn't say what I was thinking. Instead, I pretended to be innocent as I said, "Hehe, so does his majesty."

Felix looked so distressed because he was so worried about me, while Claude looked surprised.

"You've become bolder nowadays. "

"I don't think so, you just became more cowardly." I responded without hesitating.

Did... I JUST FRICKING SAY THAT?! Is he gonna kill me now..?!

I was a nervous mess as I waited for his response.

"I heard you got a severe fever after you almost drowned." He changed the subject.

Thank god!

"Yes, because of a certain someone. " I drank my milk.

I then frowned.

Tsk, I like Lippe tea more.

"What's the matter?"

"Your majesty, do you have Lippe tea?"
