Athanasia opened her eyes again.

Huh... Back?

Looking around it was the same old room of hers. With the same barren and desolate look.
Athanasia was confused, sad , angry, regretful.

Why? Why?! Why am I back to this damn world again?

Couldn't I continue to live a peaceful life with my brother Hyun woo?(aoi: I didn't know it was peaceful Athanasia.... On second thought those assassins weren't much of a bother yeah?)

Does fate love to torture me so much?!

Sending me back to this hell to be killed by him again?!!?!

Turning towards the mirror she saw herself. Athanasia. A 2 year old one.

Huh? Did I skip 2 years of my life here? Does that mean.... The me in this world died? No that isn't possible...then did the me in this world willingly exchange souls?(aoi: hey hey- you're thinking too much)

What she didn't know was, this was her. But she got the memories of her past as Jihye now. She was the same Athanasia in the same world. This was what was different.

Nevermind.

She got up. Looked around. It was midnight. It was cold. She was cold. Both the body and soul. Then she suddenly thought.

I'm 2 years old now..this means!!!- Lily! And and Lu-

Desperately she tried to call out for Lilian but her voice didn't come out and swoosh she fainted.

Athanasia's pov

It was dark and cold. I couldn't see nor hear anything. I walked aimlessly in the abyss. Just then a bright light shone with a familiar voice.

"Princess, it's time to wake up."

"You are our most precious gift ,your highness"

"Princess!!"

"It's okay.. we'll meet again"

"I...ove you"

"Sia.."

I know who it was! Lily! Lilian york! My mother figure! And...and... Lucas! My love!

I ran towards the voices. Lily, Lucas! don't leave me! I've lost you both once already!

3rd POV

Athanasia opened her eyes for the second time. This time it was a bright morning. But the atmosphere wasn't the slightest bit happy. Why? That's because Lily was beside her bed crying while other maids were there standing, concerned looks plastered on their face.

"Lily?" Athanasia pretended to be calm and asked "what happened? Why are you crying lily?"

Lilian was shocked. She quickly hugged the princess as if she would disappear at any moment
"Princess! You're awake! You've been unconscious for a week!"

The said princess was shocked at the information that was given.

A week?

"It's ok lily. Look I'm fine."

" Princess! How could you say that? No this won't do! You have to rest." Lilian gasped.

She saw something in the princess's eyes that shouldn't be there. Sadness. Endless sadness. As if an abyss was formed. A 2 year old child shouldn't have this.(aoi: huhu...)

She quickly sent everyone outside and asked Athanasia

"Princess? What happened? You can trust me. "

"It's ok lily I'm fine" she said.

Athanasia looked away. Not wanting to face her.

" Could you please get me some warm milk Lily" she said.

"Princess are you sure you're alright?" Lilian asked worriedly.

Athanasia nodded absent-mindedly. Lily walked off.

All she could think at that time was about the future- for her it was the past.

This time I gotta avoid death. That damned bastard! Killing his daughter for his niece who isn't even a human! A chimera she is! (aoi: told you Lucas was right)

I'll send her to hell for sure! Come to think of it...in the novel it was said that she already knew later that he wasn't her father.

But that dirtbag knew it too. He didn't mind it at all! That... that......!!

As she was thinking, she didn't notice the changes she caused to her body due to her overflowing emotions.

She coincidentally glanced at the mirror at the same time.

Gasp!

She couldn't believe what she saw!

One of her eyes was glowing bright red! And her hair turned pitch black!

And the angle at which she was looking at the mirror made it seem like she had seen him.

The hell?! What is this?! I look just like Lucas? Just what is happening?!

Just-

No, now I have to calm down.. thank the heavens lily isnt here or she would've freaked out!

It's Lucas's mana... No now is not the time.. calm down calm down Athanasia.

After a while of calming down, she looked into the mirror again only to find that her hair was back to normal but her eye still reflected a faint red colour from beneath those blue jeweled eyes.

So..this is affected by my emotions?

Interesting... Let's see what happens in the future.

Lucas..just wait for me...I'll find you... Well be together again and this time till the end.

And she fell into deep slumber.
