Chapter 94
Translator: HH Editor: HH
“You’re still telling that joke?”
Claude stopped stamping his signia on the docunts and lifted his head, frowning. But the person who had been annoying him since this morning continued to speak.
“It’s not a joke. I said so multiple tis Princess Athanasia is Your Majesty’s only……”
“Felix, stop testing my patience.”
The cold voice stopped Felix.
He was already behind on work, so his head hurt. But Felix continued to speak nonsense.
And his body wasn’t even healthy right now. Felix said it was because he was involved in a magic explosion. But Claude laughed in disbelief at what he said.
Got involved in a magic explosion? Why? He could control his magic. Then that ant he was involved with soone else’s magic power. Was there a magician who was powerful enough to leave him unconscious in this small palace?
“It’s because you protect Princess Athanasia from danger.”
It was hard to believe, but Felix continued to speak nonsense.
“You pushed my hand away and entered into the storm of magic to protect the princess.”
It was unbelievable, like the fact that he was unconscious for 14 days.
Princess? From when did he have a daughter? And he risked his life to save her?
“Felix, have you gone crazy?”
When he first heard that, he was genuinely concerned about Felix. His face was aged from what he rembered, and just what had happened overnight to make him speak that nonsense? Did he eat sothing wrong?
But continuing to listen to Felix’s plea, he rembered the girl he saw when he first woke up.
Yeah. The girl had dared to call him ‘Dad.’ There were a lot of won who crawled into his bed because they wanted to be the Empress, but it was the first ti soone claid to be his daughter.
Thinking back, the girl also had the royal eyes.
“I think your mory is blurry.”
Felix said it was a serious face, but Claude didn’t acknowledge it.
Ah. So that evi girl, or the person who ordered the girl had used dark magic.
He didn’t know who it was, but if it was soone that had Felix like this, they were definitely skilled.
So this is the reason why Felix looked like he aged 10 years overnight. It was a side-effect of the dark magic.
Claude nodded his head after finally understanding.
The reason why Felix was saying he had mory loss could be because of that girl. There was no way he would’ve entered a magic storm to save that girl.
Even if he agreed that she was his daughter, there was no way he would’ve done that.
There was no way I would risk my life for rely my child, unless I was completely out of my mind, right?
If that was true, his father would rise from his grave and laugh at Claude, and Claude wouldn’t be able to defend himself.
It was completely unexplainable so Claude ca to his own judgent and focused on treating his body. Because he was like a monster, it didn’t take too long for him to completely recover.
But when he started to look over the empire again, he realized that what Felix said was sowhat true.
It wasn’t about Princess Athanasia, but the fact that he had lost the mories of the last 9 years.
Things in the empire were completely different from what he rembered.
As he read over the docunts Felix prepared for him, it beca clearer.
Actually, Claude had noticed that his face and Felix’s face were older than he rembered when he looked in the mirror. It was the sa for when the doctors and the tower’s magicians ca to see him after he vomited black blood.
Ha. So then what Felix said was true?
Claude narrowed his eyes reading the docunts. He had spent the night thinking about it in his office, but he only acknowledged the fact that he had lost the mory of the last 9 years.
Everything aside, he couldn’t believe that he had a daughter.
“If you’re going to speak that nonsense, why don’t you sit there and help with organizing the docunts?”
So Claude let what Felix was saying in one ear and out the other and gave him piles of docunts.
Then a strange sofa ca into his view. It was sothing he had been curious about, so he asked Felix about it.
“Why is there a softa there? There wouldn’t be anyone to stay in this office.”
Sotis when things were urgent, he called in people to speak, but it always ended in a short conversation.
If they need to sit and speak, they could use the conference room, and the sofa looked too comfortable to be used during official etings.
Was it because he sotis used it to rest? But Claude rembered that he didn’t rest in his office, so the presence of that sofa was suspicious to him.
Then, Felix answered, like he had been waiting for Claude to ask.
“It’s the sofa you placed in here so Princess Athanasia doesn’t have to wait when she cos to see you.”
“What?”
“And you specially ordered it for the sofa’s softness.”
His words were so unbelievable that Claude was speechless.
“See here. Do you think you rember sothing? Princess Athanasia often sat here and watched you work.”
Felix excitedly turned over the sofa to Claude’s direction. And he urged him to try to rember sothing.
Claude quietly looked at his desperate eyes and laughed in disbelief.
“That was a new one.”
“I’ll say it again, but it’s not a joke.”
Felix raised his voice like he was frustrated. It seed genuine, and Claude frowned bitterly.
‘But it has to make so sense for to at least pretend to believe him.’
“I’ll say it again as well, but I’m not free enough to listen to hokes. Since there’s a spot, sit and work, and don’t even think about opening your mouth until you’re done.”
It would be more believable if Felix said he placed the sofa in there so Felix could rest.
Claude gripped his aching head and removed his thoughts about the sofa in his office.
But he continued to have questions.
“Since when were those things there?”
“Princess Athanasia enjoys reading. You ordered for her own library to be built 3 years ago.”
“Library?”
Claude suspected his eyes and made a serious face.
“Stop joking. I never said those orders.”
“Of course. Since you lost your mories.”
Felix dared to have a worried face like he was looking at a patient. Claude frowned at him. And he moved to the building he saw.
“Your Majesty, have you arrived?”
“Honor to the sun of Obelia!”
Claude’s eyes coldly flashed when he saw them in front of the building. The building was bigger than he saw from far away.
The guards straightened once they saw him and bowed.
“What are you doing here?”
Claude asked with a bad feeling.Because he never ordered for this building to be built, or placed guards here. He didn’t like this situation. More so because of what Felix said.
And they spoke like he had been here before.
But at his low voice, the guards paled beyond need and started to apologize.
“I apologize, Your Majesty!”
“If there was a fault in our watching, it is because we are lacking!”
“We will strengthen our security!”
“We will give our lives so when Princess Athanasia visits she won’t be in danger!”
Claude’s frowned and the wrinkles in his forehead deepened.
