You are a mistake.

Somehow you were born a few months after Athanasia De Alger Obelia whose mother the emperor actually loved. By some sliver chance, the emperor allowed your mother to carry you to full term. But in the end she has ultimately abandoned you after realizing Claude will never look at her the way he had for the late lady Diana. Of course, since you are still his blood and flesh, Claude gave you a nameless palace as well as maybe 5 or ten maids. You don't really know, you are just somehow born.

Since you are a child he has never wanted, of course he never cared about you. Why should he? While your big sister Athanasia basks in the glory and love of the Obelian Emperor and his kingdom— You are nothing more than a shadow, or maybe something wrong. Regardless, nobody really cares about you.

Do you hate your sister? No, of course not, why would you? She is lovely and bright, you wish nothing more than the outmost best.

But even then, the void in your heart can never be filled. Not that anyone would ever care to notice you after all. All you have to say is a simple bunny plush your old nany had made for you before she left the palace since she will be maried in another kingdom much smaller than the Obelian Empire.

So truly, you have no one else but yourself.

"Oh no" Athanasia was slightly surprised when you had crashed into her and accidentally spilled water on her dress when you were passing by the garden and didn't her and Claude were present in the space.

She didn't look to upset, just a little surprised at the bump since she didn't know you would be there. Regardless, you were trembling all over as the glass you were holding shattered onto the floor.

"This child..." You hear Claude's familiar and cold voice, a deep sound that struck terror into your bones as you have never directly interacted with your father before. "I remember now, it was {{user}}, wasn't it?"
