" My beautiful daughter u will do this for mommy right "

" Stay still talk less smile more "

" You must be lucky to have such a beautiful  daughter "

" Yes she is our pride and joy  "

"  U know we love u right "

" Did you really love me like u said... Were is it I can't feel it I can't see it  "

A empty room filled with diamond and jewelry but it was airy and dark. No amount of gold could make it shine. The sound of thunder and rain echoed through the room.

Alone stood a girl starting at a mirror looking at a reflection she doesn't recognise anymore.

She stares at a beautiful reflection and surely no would dare not look at her. Tears falls down slowly from her dark airy eyes holding out a knife pointing at her face. She doesn't recognise herself anymore.

" .... " Cayena opens her eyes slowly looking a familiar celling with a cold expression.

She looks out the window the sound of rains echoed through the room. She slowly walks toward the window placing her hand on the cold window shield.

She looks at her reflection that was little airy by the water falling form the rain dripping down slowly.

" I hate it ... " She mumbles closing the curtain to stop the sound from echoing but the sound got louder as if it was laughing at her.

Tears forms on her eyes as she clunches on her dress with one hand and old her head with another stopping the tears from poring.

" .... I am weak "

-

The sun was shining brightly. The rain had stoped leaving shiny droplets behind. The air was fresh.

Cayena stood on her bed with cold tried expression with puffy eyes as if she has been crying whole night.

" Did it stop " cayena stares at the light shining past the curtains.

" Okay cayena get a hold of yourself " she slaps cheeks to get back to reality.

" Speak less smile more "

Cayena smiles getting herself ready for the day as if nothing happened. She ate her breakfast and lunch.

She was now on her table getting the files ready to submit.

" FINALLY I AM DONE " cayena laughs. She was finally free.

Cayena sets of to deliver the papers to Claude for recheck. On her way to the office she meets Felix who was doing his job.

" HI Felix " Cayena waves.

" Glory and blessing to the first star of obelia empire " Felix smiles bowing down at the lovely princess. He noticed the papers on her hands..

" Is the Princess perhaps looking for his majesty? "

Cayena nobs.

" Your highness should look for his majesty in his chamber "

" Ah thank u Felix baiii " saying that Cayena runs off toward the chamber.

" Princess be safe " Felix smiles but he noticed cayena eyes were a bit reddish and puffy as if she has been crying.

" I am probably seeing things " Felix hoped that was the case.

Cayena was now Infront of Claude chamber.

*Knock knock*

She knocks a couple of time but there was no reply.

" Welp I am inviting myself in heheh "

Cayena slowly enters the room closing the doors behind. She couldn't find her father anywhere so she guessed he was sleeping in the sofa again and there he was sleeping peacefully.

" ... " Cayena slowly walks toward the desk placing her papers on the desk besides Claude.

She turns around to escape the room when she left strong pair of arms grabbing her by the waist.

" Daddy I thought u were sleeping "

" I was " Claude places Cayena besides him.

" Ya sure sure " Cayena rolls her eyes.

Claude chuckles " u dare to roll your eye Infront of the emperor do u know the penality "

" Will u pluck my eyes out " cayena chuckles.

Claude wasn't sure where this little girl learn those stuff from but He almost lost her onces he can't loose her again, not yet.

There was a moment of silence.

" Geez it was a jo- "

" Have u been crying " Claude looks at change his daughter who was now frozen in place.

" I read a very sad novel before going to the bed nothing much " cayena smiles as she clunches on her dress.

" Lies "

" It's the truth ... "

" U are my daughter and I am your father" Claude pat's cayena comforting her .

" I had a nightmare... " Cayena mumbles

" I see.. " Claude let's cayena lay down her head in his arm.

" I hate it when it rains " cayena complains

" Are u perhaps scared of thunder " Claude pokes cayena.

" AM NOT "

Claude chuckles.

" If u say so " Claude cover his eyes with another arm.

" Are u going to sleep ?? Should I leave " cayena looks at Claude taking her chance to touch  Claude chest.

" To noise sleep " Claude mumbles .

" Rude " cayena goes back to lay down beside Claude..

There was moment of silence.

Cayena left warm and protected she didn't knew what was it but it was as if her eyes were giving up on her. Slowly falling a sleep.

-

Later on

Athanasia was now trapped in the room by Felix. She looks around for a while before finding her father and sister sleeping together.

" They look peaceful " athanasia looks at them with sadness in her eyes with a hint of jealousy.

" How can they sleep so peaceful after almost drowning me " athanasia pulls out a flower placing it on to Claude.

" Preety ... "

She was about to place a flower on cayena when a piece of chocolate fell of her sleeve almost hitting cayena.

" NOOOOOOooo " athanasia screams inside.

" What do u think u are doing right now " Claude glares at athanasia stopping the piece of chocolate before it hits the sleeping cayena.

" SLEEP BABY [ so shit u got me fucked up if u think I am going to remember the weird lullaby ] " < ---- comment down if u know the lullaby.

Athanasia sings a lullaby slowly placing her hands down.

" What was that ?? "

" Bye bye sing?! [ Bro I don't even remember the title ] " athanasia tilt's her head.

" Yes "

" Don't tell me none sang for him a lullaby why he was a child- " athanasia thought to herself.

" It's a lullaby which helps to get rid of nightmares " athanasia smiles.

Cayena was sleeping peacefully when her face suddenly changed.

" It seems your lullaby called in the nightmare instead of chasing it away " Claude places his hand on cayena.

".... " Athanasia wanted to punch Claude on the face.
