Who Made Me a Princess Chapter 14: 14

"Princess Atanasia will be blessed by what she deserves after today."

(What it ans: ans that Atanasia will be spending so tis with Claude staring tomorrow.)

But it is not that you've admitted as your daughter. He definitely said he never had thought of Atanasia as his daughter in the book.

I don't know what kind of joke this is when Claude didn't take in as his daughter. Just what is going on in your head?

And it seed like Lilly felt the sa way as I did. The face of Lilly's after leaving the place seed like it wasn't going to gain its color back anyti soon.

"It's fine, everything is going to be fine, princess."

Hearing her whisper in her embrace, I hoped it really would be fine.

* * *

"Looks like you grew chubbier than the last ti I saw you."

Even though so ti has passed, Claude and I were the sa.

It's only been 10 days since we've t, and I don't think I got chubby within these days that it actually shows!

"Hehe, Papa is also pretty!"

Since then, I t Claude twice more and had a deathly father and daughter ti. I felt it from my experience, but this dude didn't intend to kill when I act spunky and impertinent.

Instead, he got emotionless when I acted like a scared child, and also when I answer with fear mixed into my tone.

I was scared the most when Claude looked at as if he was bored. I might be wrong, but I believe this person was leaving alive just for a mont of entertainnt.

That is why I felt like fainting from fear. I felt Lilly's shocked gaze hearing my words.

But of course, Claude didn't kill this ti either. I knew he liked straight forward and brave style!

"Follow."

He stared with his eyes thinly opened, then turned away. It was then Lilly and Felix exhaled the breath they held very quietly. I felt like crying blood of how my death string was being pulled then let go, pulled then let go repeatedly.

"I was going to go on a boat today coincidentally, so prepare for it."

Prepare? Hah! Moreover 'coincidentally' go on a boat. Ha, I know you planned it out and brought when it is ti. How dare you pretend it is 'coincident'!

If you needed sothing, it probably was already prepared beforehand, so I am pretty sure it ant 'shut up and follow '.

"Your majesty, sorry to interrupt but it is too early for the princess to play on the water..."

"What are you concerned about when jim will be with her?"

That's the problem, bast*rd!

Lilly who was brave enough to speak started to look at with worry expressed eyes. Since people who are not invited to join the royal blood's boat ti, I was sure she was worried that no one could have if sothing happened.

But don't, sister Lilly. What will you do if that bast*rd decides to harm you?

But I actually don't want to ride the sa boat Claude will ride! You suddenly beca not so entertaining. Die. And splash! Into the lake I go! Who knows he'll do that?!

This rotten bast*rd stopped in track, then asked.

"Do you not want to ride the boat with ?"

"Ahhh, Atti will ride with papa."

Once again, I smiled innocently and answered. Hearing my answer, Lilly's face paled but I didn't have a choice. That is how I had to have a boat ti with Claude feeling that its forced.

How big is the place that it actually has a lake big enough to have a boat ti. With my lifeless face, I floated on the water with Claude sitting across from .

Claude picked up himself for to mount, and during it, I had to shiver in fright without no one noticing of if he will drop into the water. When I had completed 'getting on the boat' mission, I had no strength left in my body.

Huh? This boat though, it was so controlled. Do boats that royal blooded people ride always like this? Its not shaky at all and just slips on the water!

Wait. We both aren't rowing the boat. Then how does this thing even move? Is there like a motor or sothing? Or maybe this boat has 2 floors in total and the workers are moving their legs hard? Huhhhh.

"What are you thinking of?"

Don't speak to . Don't look at . Wahhh.

I was thinking of answering with 'Today's weather's nice!' or 'The lake is so pretty!' at Claude's question, but decided to just go for it.

"Papa's hair is shiny shiny! Sparkly! It's pretty!"

Well, it was true that Claude's hair was pretty. My light blonde was pretty too, but Claude's honey-like dark blonde was more of my style. Ahh, did I get too addicted to gold? Sniff.

"Sparkly sparkly! I like it! Hehe."

Claude smiled very faintly at my response. No, wait... If he smiles like that... I feel like sothing bad is going to happen.

"When I look back, you had so pockets full with gems that day."

Dun Dun DUN!! It's a goal! Competitor Atanasia is in the first stage for ntal breakdown!

"I am storing your treasures well, so co next ti yourself to take them.

... It's mine. It's mine! Everything is mine that I can't avoid it! AHHHH!

I was in shock I left my pockets filled with my beauties, but who knew that Claude actually took it! Ahh, craze, crazy! I really don't think I have a future of a peaceful death.

When I was lost for words, Claude was already emotionless. He's bored. His eyes were set on the place across the lake beside him. That gave the opportunity to examine him a little more freely.

Umm... Which country is Claude's clothes from? Egypt? Greece?

I don't know. Forget that, but anyways. This kind of big and loose clothes suited Claude very well.

Last ti I saw him, he looked like a lion. But now? Now he looks like a leopard resting in the sunlight. Well either way, he is still a wild carnivore.

I didn't realize it at first as I was too shocked, but Claude was very good looking that anyone would gasp when they saw him. Sh*t. I don't want to admit it.

How to describe... Hmm, a handso man with a wild aura surrounding him? He was wearing a gown-like clothes like always, so the way his muscles show... Gasp! No! I felt blood gathering around my nose.

I found out that Atanasia's mother Diana truly loved Claude while reading 's after story.

I didn't get it at first, but now I feel like if girls saw him, they would fight for him like a fire giving spark.

Claude's eyes that are looking elsewhere than my eyes were very beautiful that even I could complint, because his blue eyes with no warmth at all looked as if they were really gems. From this angle, it was a colour lighter than the lake we are on, a faint turquoise. Does mine, too?

Even so, it took too much to keep on staring too much, so I slowly turned my head. Hmm? Then I saw a flower very mystic.

At first I thought I was seeing things but as the boat went closer to the flower, I could see it clearly.

Wow... what is this? Its a blue lotus flower! Ah? No its not. It looks blue because of the lake's colour, but the leaf itself was clear see through. It looked similar to a lotus flower but the leaf's see through. But did lotus flowers bloom in the lake?

I want to have that.

I had a feeling I could reach it if I reach out my hand so I moved to the very edge of the boat. I knew Claude was watching but even that couldn't have my interest leave the flower.

Even though it was mystic, it wasn't that prettty. However, I still felt like I had to get that thing in my hand.

Little more. Just a little more.

And when my fingers was about to touch the leaf.

Splash!

I was thrown off the boat. (No. Claude DIDN'T push her off. She just fell by herself.)

"Pffff!"

The water entered my mouth and nose with a speed. I just crazily flapped my arms and legs.

What is this? How did it turn out like this? I was ntally crazy as I couldn't breath from the water. The heavy many layerd dress sister maids dressed up with as the day I am seeing Claude was all wet and heavy.

Wait! I can't swim! I can't!

"H-help...."

No matter how hard I flapped, I couldn't get a hold on anything. I could only scratch the boat with my two wet hands, I didn't even have the strength to pull myself up from the water. Even though I knew that, I was continuously flapping to reach in fear.

And when the eyes which were as calm as always t with mine, my body which was already cold seed to freeze 'till the very end of my toe.

Claude was just quietly watching flap in the lake. The very mont I looked into the calm eyes of his, I knew.

He's not going to save . That man won't save . He is going quietly to stare at drown like this with those emotionless eyes.

Splash...

When I realized that, all strength in gave up. The thing that was wrapping itself around my ankle was pulling down. The ti it took my head to completely go underwater was quick. Water filling my lungs felt terrible.

I can't believe this life's death is by drowning. The thought of mine before I rode the boat beca real. Is this what they an by words you speak becos real? Even so, you.... -

"Pffft ack!"

- d.o.g.g.y rotten stinky bada*s bast*rd!

(The continuation of the paragraph above.)

"Gasp! Hah! Urgh, cough..."

Just then, a strong pressure pulled back up the water.

I coughed uncontrollably as I coughed out the water. The sight was blurry, and my head was dizzy. I also felt water stuck in my ears so handling all that, I couldn't fully control my body.

"My goodness, princess!

I don't know how much ti has passed. I thought I heard soone running to , and then I heard Lilly's worried voice entering my ears like a dagger."

I then realized that Claude took out of the boat that has reached the land just now.

"Flelix."

"Yes, your majesty."

"Teach this princess swimming starting tomorrow."

He shook his wet hand once, then turned away from .

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if jim's daughter were to die drowning?"

This was not sothing to say to a daughter who almost died drowning. However, there were no one here who could argue with that.

Lilly looked busy calming who was shaking using a big towel to wrap around and hugging. Felix was speechless from the emperor's words, then followed Claude's back with a shock filled expression.

"Princess. Princess.... It's fine. It's all fine now princess.
