The massacre took place today,
The resentment Claude had for Diana, the fact she choose an unborn baby instead of him, drove him crazy to the point where he killed everyone in the Ruby palace.
Except
her child.
Athanasia, the name granted to a ruler with the meaning of immortality,
is his excuse
to not kill the child just yet, under the guise of amusement he spared the child.
"There is another Loneliness
That many die without-
Not want of friend occasions it
Or circumstances of Lot
But nature, sometimes, sometimes thought
And whoso it befall
Is richer than could be revealed
By mortal number"
Felix stood by the prince who was reading a book unaware of the massacre that took place, at least that is what he thought.
He felt guilty for it but he didn't have a choice in this matter, his liege's orders must be fulfilled no matter what that was his obligation as the emperor's knight.
"Death awaits everyone sooner or later it comes to you, when you don't predict it, it was in their destiny to die like that... Oh loyal knight, Don't feel guilty as God's know you didn't hold any malice towards the now deceased inhabitants of Ruby palace"
The knight's legs felt weak when he heard the prince's words,
he looked in those jewelled eyes that held no joy of a child, that's when realization hit him, in front of him was not sitting a child
but
The Future Emperor of Obelia.
