Elliot Robane is the nephew of Felix Robane sent to be his squire when he was nine. When young seven year old Athanasia was sneaking off to the emperor’s palace to catch a glimpse of her father, the two met and quickly became friends.

They grew up together under the watchful gaze of those around them. Elliot became her sworn knight when he became of age to receive his knighthood and be part of the imperial knights, he was her staunch supporter and companion when her sister princess Jeanette was introduced and Athanasia was fundamentally rejected by her father

When the talks to marrying Athanasia off came to be, Elliot was the first to ask for her hand in marriage. As the new heir to the Robane duchy after the death of his brother, Elliot was one of the leading bachelors Obelia had to offer.

Despite being the unfavored princess and disposed heir, there were many petitions for Athanasia’s hand in marriage, with even petitions outside the empire. But Athanasia wanted no other husband than Elliot, she had begged her father to let her marry Elliot, as they were deeply in love. But no one would imagine the man Claude would ultimately choose to be her husband. Athanasia would set to marry Marquis Roynald Windnor, a man old enough to be her grandfather with a questionable marriage history

Both lovers were deeply heartbroken, Athanasia had wept throughout her engagement and wished to take her life if she could not marry her lover. Angered by the announcement, Elliot had demanded a duel with the emperor for a second chance for the princess’s hand, yet lost the duel and almost his life. He was then forced to wed lady Odette Castile. They were forced to end their companionship and go their separate ways

Yet after marriage, they would still find ways to meet one another in secret. They kept their relationship a secret from all. Athanasia would pour out to him her life with her husband, the struggles with her fertility, and how she wishes to leave with him.

The secret relationship would be short lived in the end, as Elliot refused to run away with her, citing not wanting her to face consequences with her husband when they will be ultimately be captured, and to protect his own wife’s honor. Their relationship ended on a sour note with both lovers detesting one another

(as always this will be all over the place, if I start not making sense don't be surprised because GOD THIS IS LONG AND i WROTE THIS IN AN HOUR AND A HALF)

Athanasia/Sia is part of a group where they are trying to find more information regarding the time Jennette appeared until the death of Claude/her death itself, since other researchers have found a surprising lack of information regarding that era of time even thought the small amount of information found often talked about how loved she was by the empire and, allegedly, other surrounding empires, plus how much Claude was said to have loved her.

Not only that, even when trying to use her spouse, Ijekiel, as a way to get more information, this seemed to come to a halt on the Alpheus records when it came to a certain period of time.

To top it of, old diaries and reports sometimes mentioned a third royal family member being alive and on similar age to Jennette, but the name, description or origin of this family member was a mystery.

The Royal Family of Obelia had been no more for a very long time, but the fact that a second mystery in the form of an unknown royal family member, led everyone to believe it could be tied to the disappearance of the Royal Family trademark: The Jeweled Eyes. Of course, this could be tied to the usual explanation that maybe the magic-gene that permitted this peculiar eyes became recessive at some point, but after doing some digging, the jeweled eyes of the royal family started to disappear with Jennette's first grandchild, her first son having 3 children, one of them missing the royal eyes completely, and the children of said child never inheriting this trait as well.

(Yes these people know magic existed at some point in time, but it either doesn't manifest as it did before, making it so 1% of the world population is able to wield it in a level that can't be compared to how it's used in LP/WMMAP since it's very difficult to do so or it just doesn't exist anymore)

This was more of a theory based on investigations made on the family tree, where a new ducal family, directly related to the emperor at that time, never inherited the eyes as confirmed by some salvaged paintings.

All the missing information just made Sia excited, this just meant she and her team had to start using every piece of information and treat it as a potential clue. And thanks to that, they managed to hit a lead to the York household.

The York's had fallen out of nobility some time during Jennette's reign, with reasons unknown, but information in an old diary from a head maid mentioned a woman with the name of Lilian York was the head maid in the Ruby Palace.

It was very hard to find if the York's had any living relatives, but thankfully they did. They were a normal working family, and even thought they knew of what their family once was, they had very clear that everything was in the past. Grandmother of the family was the one who gave them two heavy medium sized boxes with information of their family. The woman said that she was finally giving them to people who will actually do some sense to all the things in said boxes.

As obvious things happen, they learn that Lily was Athy's nanny, and they obviously learn of Athanasia's existence and death.

But also the aftermath.

Lilian's family(don't know who) had decided to keep information regarding her and Athanasia simply to honor Lily's memory at first, but after it was revealed that Athanasia(and Lily by relation) died for nothing since the true culprit was Jennette's aunt, Countess Rosalia, they decided to keep archiving everything for the sake of justice and to never forget.

In the boxes they found the frustration the matriarch was feeling due to the situation, and how they were the ones to renounce to their title and privileges 10 years after everything had happened. Why?

Because they were tired of the circus nobility had created to cater to the, at the time, Princess Jennette de Alger Obelia.

Jennette never really "got over" Athanasias unjust death, but the amount of time she spent mourning was strange and bizarre for the Yorks, the(at the time) Princess was always someone who always showed herself as sentimental and empathetic. But only mourning the unjust death of her sister which she claimed she was close to for a week? Strange. But not as important as what nobility did.

Since it was discovered that Rosalia was the one behind the poisoning, the nobles has decided that whenever Princess Athanasia was mentioned and Princess/Empress Jennette was present, they would fill their mouths with false sentiments of longing, saying how they always knew Athanasia was innocent, that they always viewed her as beautiful even if she didn't have the money to have the dresses of the current season, how they always felt bad whenever she was bullied, how much they wished they were more brave as to defend her and befriend her. How Lilian York was such a brave woman to never backdown even before the emperor, how diligent Lilian was to not leave the abandoned princess, daughter of a dancer, behind and go back to her family.

How great women they both were.

Lies, all of it lies.

But Princess Jennette always appreciated those words, this actions making some noble ladies from count families to become very close to her.

It was sickening.

And for that, after the second prince of the empire was 5 years old, the York family resign from their titles and lands, the now Empress Jenette asked them why, but the heads of the family never gave her a reason.

Between all of the diary entries there were incredibly well preserved portraits. One of Lilian York when she was maybe 15 or 17 years old, and another of Princess Athanasia when she was 11 or 13 years old.

One mystery to take off the list, right? Wrong.

Thanks to the painting of Princess Athanasia, immediately one of those on the team pointed out how the eyes of the princess looked different from those of princess jennette. At first everyone thought it would simply be due to the artist having a different perspective on how they painted the eyes, but after careful examination and comparisons with the portraits of Claude de Alger Obelia, it was confirmed that the eyes of Jennette and her children had a different hue than the other two royals. They didn't look as bright and it seemed that they were even dimmed or were dimming out through time, in some portraits the eyes of the only princess of born of Ijekiel and Jennette, seemed to have simple blue eyes.

With this findings Sia's investigation group was applauded and praised all around. But despite that, Sia was only happy to finally put one of the greatest mysteries of the Obelian Royal family to rest, and provide more information to the other.

Remember that panel (I CANT FIND ITTT) in the manhwa that implied (at least I understood it like that) Lucas destroyed Obelia after Athy was killed in her first life?

Let's clarify that I am only a manhwa reader, I haven't read the WMMAP novel.

Well, I just love the idea of Lucas going feral and protective because of Athy. And then, I was writing something before I could stop myself. It's just something short, but I haven't finished it and I have more ideas.

what if I write an AU where Athy isn't killed in her life but instead is kidnapped by god dragon Lucas who is tired of seeing Athy being neglected by his dad and decides HE will be the one to spoil her and love her and blablabla.

idk why I love the idea of Lucas being a dragon deity. anyways, I wrote it (a part of it?)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky turned gray very quickly; nothing like the calmness of the obscure clouds that used to bring rain to Obelia during certain months of the year.

This time the sky burned.

So ardent and atrocious, cursing with all its immensity and magnitude. The sky became the host of the devil himself.

And the mortals implored. Yet Obelia burned for days, and since day one of this horrible tragedy the Empire was no more.

A pitiful end for such a once outstanding nation. A golden castle tore into pieces by claws, by god’s rage.
