The King is a middle age man, very handsome and tall, has a blonde hair whose stuck improperly at the back and has a pair of blue orb eyes. He is too much anxious of his children and wife's faith.

 

Just a months ago, the Queen feel ill while having a pregnancy. No one can tell what kind of illness is this so naturally no one also know how to cure it since they even don't the details about this illness let alone to counter it. The doctor whom checked the Queen condition said that when the Queen labor come there are only slim chances that both the children and the mother to survive in the process. The Queen might die in the process or worst the children and the Queen might both die. The doctor already advised the king to be ready for whatever might come.

After a minute or so, the midwife came. This make the King come to his senses.

"Your highness the Queen is already give birth the children! It's twin! One girl, one boy! But the Queen....." The midwife said. She stopped abruptly.

"What happened?! SAY IT!!!" King said frustrated at how she act. The midwife can't get herself say it because she's afraid of what the King might do to her if she say a bad news. The door suddenly open again and this catch everyone's attention. At the open door, there standing butler Ian. Butler Ian is the Queen most trusted person. He is tall and has dark skin. He is mid bald and has gray hairs and always holding an hour glass and no one knows why. He also have a magnifying glass in his right eye but none on the left. Butler Ian bow.

"My King, her majesty wish to see you." Butler Ian said.

He immediately run toward the room where his wife is. The two also follow him. As he get nearer and nearer to the room he heard a baby's cry louder and louder. He entered the room and he see his fragile wife at the bed smiling sweetly while watching her children. The two also come but the King dismissed them and he wish a privacy with the Queen. The Queen are petite women and very beautiful, her hair is wavy and blonde and has a pale skin with a pair of beautiful green eyes. The King go to his wife side and gently sat at her side.

" What is it, Elizabeth?" The King said with teary eyes.

"Oh! My dear Arthur! Your still as handsome as I remember you!" The Queen said gently.

"Oh! My dear Elizabeth! Your still the most beautiful woman in my life! Just straight to the point. What is it?? " The King said, trying to fight back his tears.

"Arthur, this necklace of mine give this one to our daughter. This necklace will protect her from the danger of the future." Placing the hearth pendant necklace at her husband hands. "And this one is for our son, when the right time comes he will know it where to use it." Placing the another necklace with key pendant at her husband hands. "From now on our children is on your care." The Queen said and smiled weakly.

"Oh! Elizabeth! Your saying that as if your going to leave me. You know that I can't take care a two children on my own without your help. Don't leave me, please."

"Arthur, Arthur I know you can and it's already my time! I need to go. I don't want to fight my fate, if my fate said I'm going to die then I will let it happen" The Queen said. "Now, now I'm so happy to see you in my last breath. Give those necklace to them when they already gain a knowledge. I will always love you."

And on that cue she died. The King sat there quietly crying holding his wife hands for a minutes or so.

"Your highness what are you going to name the children?" Said by the familiar voice.

The King startled by butler Ian's approach. The King didn't notice butler Ian already enter the room because he is so absurd by his grieve. The King hide his face and wipe away all his tears before answering.

"What do you think?" The King said wearing a sad smile.

"S-sir?!" Shocked by what the King's said.

The King chuckled. "Just kidding." The King said. "The boy I will name him as Zeus cause I wanted him to became a great leader as Zeus and Hero cause I wanted him to be the Hero of our country. For the girl one I'll name her as Athena because I wanted her to as wise as Athena so that she can assist her brother to his throne and Hope 'cause I wanted her to became the string of hope for everyone that will never been break."

The King watch his children closely for a couple of minutes. There he notice that Zeus look like him. Has blue orb eyes but Zeus is crying, the maid explain that they tried to make him stop but he never stop. The real one who really caught his attention is Athena because she has a black hair. As far as the King know, none of his or his wife ancestors possess a black hair and the rest she look like her mother. Unlike his brother, Athena is the most cherished one and she laugh and delighted at the sight of her father. After that, the King entrusted the children to butler Ian and bid a farewell cause he's already tired and need to rest.

The news about the Queen's death spread immediately throughout the country. The King destructing himself about at the garden because he can't sleep. It's already late at night and there are only few who is awake and it is just a few guards on night shift. He's looking at the stars remembering all the happy memories he has with his wife and suddenly remember something, it is before the illness strike at the Queen.

~🌸👑👺👑🌸~

They are at the top of an hill overlooking at the whole city of daledalion sitting under the tree and enjoying the wind and the surrounding. The guards are not with them because the Queen sent them away to secure the surrounding area in case some assassin come. Suddenly there's a person appear not to far from there location. It is hooded with a black cloak and it is looking at them as if waiting for them to come. The first one who notice this person is the Queen. The Queen gasped and said.

"Arthur look!" pointing at the hooded one. "She's looking at us as if it wanted for one of us to come. Wait me there, ok? I'm just going to check it out." The Queen added. The King immediately felt suspicious about this person.

"Elizabeth, are you serious? We didn't know who is that person and your going talk to that? How about let me talk to it?" The King said. The Queen know that her husband is very cautious and there's sometimes a chance that the King got in trouble only because he is too cautious that's why she refuse.

"No Arthur, I know you. So PLEASE stay here and wait for me. Ok?" The Queen said gently. The King still didn't agree to her and going to speak but the Queen look at him pleadingly. The Queen know that he can't refuse her.

"O-ok. But Elizabeth be careful ok?" The King said.

"Don't worry hun. I'll be careful." The Queen said and smile at him triumphantly. The King watch his wife as she go. While the Queen talking at the hooded person, the King just watch them intently from afar. The top of hill is clear and only grass is here and two big tree parallel to each other the other is where the King and Queen sat lately and the other one is where the hooded person suddenly appear so the King can see every move they're doing. While they are talking the King see that almost all the blood on the Queen face gone. The King's look at them fiercely, in his mind he really really wanted to know what they are talking. After a minutes or so, the Queen go back to there old place.

"What did it say?" The King said.

"Ah.... Eh... I-its nothing." The Queen lied and laugh fakely. The King look at her as if scanning her.

"Hey, hey, what's with that expression?" The Quen said. "Let's go back! The babies are already kicking I think I already need rest."

~🌸👑👺👑🌸~

Unknowingly to King he is being watch. At far corner of the garden, there standing a person that is wearing a black hooded cloak. It is standing at the dark, you can't see it's body because it's too dark at that side but still can it's eyes because it's glowing in red light. It is the same person who visit the Queen before she got an strange illness. It peacefully watching the King will he's daydreaming later on it smile.

"Don't worry my King for the heir of demon God is already born in complete." It said and laugh cruelly in low voice, just enough for only itself to hear and then it just gone as if there's no one standing there all the time.

The King come back to reality because he felt that someone watching him so he around him but he didn't see anyone. He just let it pass and decided that it's his imagination. He look at his watch and see that it's already 5:00 am.

"How fast time flies." The King said to himself and sighed. He feel the tiredness and decided to take a rest already. On the following day come he focus himself on the burial of the Queen and work, until it come to the funeral of the Queen. After that no one see the King smile again.

(sorry guys I think I can't update soon since I'm super duper busy but I promise I'll promise I'll try my best to finish this.) See you next year.

Chapter 1: Her First Request

Princess Athena bored sitting at her room. Her chin is scooped with her both hands. Princess Athena is thin but beautiful and has a dark and wavy hair. She has a bright green eyes that is so beautiful. She has a pale skin and she's look like her mother except the hair. She's also born to have a high IQ. Princess Athena is a very energetic person and always like a challenge but right now she seems so bored. She always wish with her whole heart to learn martial arts. She always see that it's unfair that the boys always the one who has an advantage in everything specially in power. She wanted to prove to everyone that girls can also do what the boys can do. She heard a knocked on the door and that's allow her to destruct from her thoughts. She immediately get a book and pretend she's reading and their comes another knock again.

"Come in that's open." Princess Athena called out. She see her father come inside her room using only her peripheral vision. She feel that her father sat next her side but she ignore it although she is shock. She thought that the one who is knocking is just a servant or butler Ian. It's so out of the blue for her father to visit her because her father doesn't pay any attention to her. The King only pay attention at her brother. The one who's watching and taking care of her is butler Ian. For Athena, butler Ian is like a father for her. "Your still reading even in this late at night?" The King said coldly. Starting she gain an knowledge she always see her father cold face. No matter what she do his face never change a bit and he's always focus at his work. She just listen to her father and never look up.

"Tsk." She heard her father said. He place something at her daughter's table. Princess Athena look at it and see that it's a heart pendant necklace. She look back to her book.

"What's that?" Athena said coldly.

"Your mother's last breath wish."

"So...??" Athena said while trying to hide the intrigued in her eyes. Ever since the Queen's death the King prohibited everyone to talk about her so, Athena doesn't know anything about her mother.

"She wanted me to give that to you. Well, I need to go now I have many work to do for tomorrow I need to sleep early." The King said and turn his back. Athena decided to ask something that always lingering in her mind. She shrugged.

"Uhhmm. Dad?" She said. There's a fear in her eyes. She's terrified of what this conversation might be an outcome but quickly recovered it with her whole confident. On that time her dad is near to the door and hear his daughter call him. He stop and turn to see his daughter face which keep him remembered all his memory with his wife, the happy times even the hard times and lastly the death of her whom revived all the pain inside of him. It feels like it just happen yesterday. That's also the reason why he doesn't have a gut to look at her.

After his wife's death, his been drown in total grief. In day, he focused himself in work and when it's night, he always let himself be drown in alcohol. He also bring some woman in his mansion in where he lives - if you can still call it mansion because it's too much big and grand you can even now call it a palace - which Athena hates to the maximum. He always did it so he can forget all the pain cause by his wife's death.

~~~🌸👑👺👑🌸~~~

He come back to the reality when he hear his daughter voice, the voice of Elizabeth. Yes, Athena get her voice from her mother. It is too angelic and innocent.

"Dad, can I learn martial art?" Athena ask. She might look like she's brave and confident but deep inside she almost die in freight because of what she did and it worsen when his father answered.

"NO" The King replied in a very very cold voice. His aura get dark also. That shooked Athena at her father reaction that made her gulp. In her whole life, Athena only taught an proper etiquette and house chores and nothing else. She didn't experience being able to play that a child normally do. She's been treated abnormally that's why sometimes she sneak out at her lesson. Her lesson is too boring for her, she sometimes sleep at her class. The reason why Athena want to have a lesson about martial arts is because for her it's her play time. The reason of the reaction of the King is about what happen a year ago.

~~~🌸👑👺👑🌸~~~

Athena and Zeus is playing outside the palace with butler Ian while the King is watching from afar. There's already rumors spreading that the twin might not the King or Queen daughter or not even a part of royal blood. Athena hair is black but both her parent hair color is blonde. All the royalties has blonde hair. That's why Athena hair color is a big mystery to everyone and not even the best scientists can explain while in Zeus part he is such cry baby. No one also know whom he get that because his father is always known as a person whose always serious, strict and doesn't know how to smile while thier mother is gentle but strong, no one can see her cry.

Zeus is running but eventually his foot caught on a rock that made him fall. Zues sit and see that there's a wound at his knee and he started to cry. Athena see it and come to her brother to calm it. The King see a sudden change at athena eye color because it became red like blood but in a blink of an eye it's back to bright green. The King decided that it's just an illusion because he still didn't eat a lunch.

Later on there's a Priest whose passing and it look at Athena whose still trying to calm her brother. After that, the Priest go to the King's direction.

"Are you the father of that little girl there?" The Priest asked.

"Yes I am, why?" The King replied in dangerous tone.

"She is a Demon."

"What do you think your doing? Insulting a royal child?"

"But that's the truth. As you can see she has a pale skin, dark hair and red eyes that indicates that she is a demon."

"MY DAUGHTER IS NOT A DEMON AND INSULTING A ROYAL IS A TREASON. PUNISHMENT FOR TREASON IS DEATH AND BESIDES HER EYE COLOR IS GREEN." The King shout angrily. The Priest get stopped by this for a moment and obserb Athena. This where he realise that the King is right maybe she's not a demon and it's just a coincidence but he can fell it, the demonic aura. Luckily the King is far from the children that's why they didn't hear him but butler Ian hear the King's shout and told Athena that he just going to somewhere for a moment. Butler Ian follow the voice.

"Well, if that's what you wanted to believe. But a warning, when she grow up she will crave to see a weapon and how to use it and later on she will started to kill everyone for fun." After what the Priest said he leave. That's only the time butler Ian see the location of the King. Butler Ian bow first.

"What happen your majesty?" Butler Ian asked.

"I will tell you later." The King said. As what the King promised, he told everything to butler Ian.

~~~🌸👑👺👑🌸~~~

"Look dad, I promise l will not slack off again just please, allow me to learn martial arts." Athena begged. The King was shocked at what Athena did but he didn't let it show to her. Athena never begged anyone before because she never let anyone to see that she is weak and it is her first time to beg someone. The King decided to give what her daughter requested besides it's birthday tomorrow, October 30 her birthday and the Queen's death. It's also Athena first request, but as the King decided to allow Athena request his conversation a year ago with the Priest flash back at his mind. The King decided to ignore it and allow Athena to learn martial arts as her birthday gift even though Athena forgotten it's her birthday. The King sighed.

"Fine, I'm allowing you." The King said. Athena maintain her straight face but you can see at her eyes her joy and excitement.

"But...." The King said and glare at Athena. Athena look at her with a big question mark at her head.

"You will attend all your class and never sleep at you class. If heard that your slacking off I will not allowed you to take a lesson in martial arts ever again. Understand?" The King said.

"Okay" Athena said. This time she can't contain her excitement any longer and it started to show at her big smile. The King sighed and leave. After the King leave, Athena started to jump around and celebrate. She did that until she get tired and decided to sleep. Sleep smilingly.
