I know your secret…

Achilles' POV

"Here are the papers that needs your approval right away" Felix said as he handed the paper to me. I took the paper and I started looking over them.

"Your highness, can I ask something?" Felix said while sorting the papers that I need to go through. I nodded at him.

"Why are you acting different? You used to skip work to spend the day with the lady, and now you're finishing the work?" He asked as he looked at me with disdainful eyes.

"Why? Do you prefer me not working and giving all this paper to you?" I asked. He shivered as if scared about that thought then he became quiet while sorting the papers.

"Thank you, for staying by my side, I appreciate you." I said and looked at his direction just to see him with a disgusted face.

"What's with that? It's creeping me out" He said with a disgusted voice, but I do know that he's smiling inside. We've been together for a long time after all.

It's tiring working for a long time. I feel sick at looking with the documents now. After the first set of documents, Felix will put another mountain on my desk.

"I-is this the last set?" I asked him. I can feel my hands shaking with all the writing and signing. "I want to sleep for the whole day today" I thought as I kept on signing the documents.

When I finished signing the last mountain, I went up from my chair and Felix was about to go out when another servant came in with another mountain of documents.

"Your highness, his majesty said that you should work on this documents as he would be busy with the empress" He said as he bowed. I went up from my seat and I went to the servant.

"Where's my father?" I asked, the servant averted his eyes with mine as he answered the question.

"He's on the garden of the main Imperial Palace with the empress" she said. Felix gave me my coat as we went our way to find this lazy man I call my father.

When I arrived at the garden, there he was having tea with mother. I quickly walked towards them as I held his collar.

"Oh my, hello son, what made you visit the main palace today?" He asked with his face full of sweat, mother was just watching while Felix isn't even listening.

"I wonder why? Maybe it is about the documents you just sent to my room again?" I told him. He stood up and he placed a hand on mu shoulders as he told me with a serious face.

"Son, this is a preparation for you in becoming the Emperor" he said. I held him in the collar and I shouted.

"This is a crime! I'm being overworked!" I told him as I shook him.

"Stop! It's an imperial order! Stop shaking me at once!" He said. I stopped shaking him and he went to a tree as he vomited.

After vomiting for a bit, he stood up then he drank some tea and he started speaking again.

"I'll give you a candy so do the job for the day" he said. Then the two of them started being all sweet again. I can feel my face darkening again.

"No way, I'll return those papers here and you do them yourself! I'm gonna sleep the whole day!" I said and I went back to my palace.

When I got to my room, I saw the servant with the papers. I took my coat off and I started changing into my sleeping ware.

"I already talked to the Emperor and he said that he'll do it himself" I said and I went to sleep.

"We should hurry before his highness wakes up" I heard voices in my room. I jumped out of my bed just to see Felix with some maids. I ruffled my hair and I stared at Felix.

"I deeply apologize your highness, we have to move the papers that we have finished working on" Felix said as he knelt.

"It's fine, just finish moving the papers and leave so I can change my clothes" I told him. He bowed and they continued moving the papers out of my room.

When they left, I went up from my bed and I went to washbasin to clean my face. After cleaning myself, I went to the other room to change my clothes. After changing my clothes, I went to the side of the bed and I rang the bell. A maid immediately went into my room.

"Yes your highness?" She asked lowering her head. I sat on the chair of my table before speaking.

"I'm starving, bring me dinner quickly" I said. She nodded and she bowed her head and left my room quickly. I looked out from my window to see a beautiful full moon tonight.

"I wonder how is she doing?" I asked my thoughts while playing with my pen. And minutes later, my food arrived and I started eating my dinner.

"Ah, before you leave call for Felix, tell him that I am calling for him" I told the maid once I finished eating. She bowed and she left my room.

Someone then knocked on my door moments later. I know it's Felix, so I said that he can come in.

"Why did you call for me again, your highness?" Felix asked with an annoyed face once again. He was panting and full of sweat.

"You came quite late, didn't you?" I asked with a smirk on my face. He wiped his sweat and he sat on the couch of my room.

"Well, I wonder who called for me suddenly? Without giving me the time to change my clothes?" He asked as he raised his eyebrow. I laughed at his retort.

"Hahaha, I apologize" I told him. He looked at me with a serious face and he crossed his feet and spread his arms on the couch.

"So, why did you call for me?" He asked. I placed my hand on the table and I smiled at him.

"You like Alanta's brother right?" I asked him. He coughed and he shot up from his seat and he walked towards me. When he got to my table, he slammed his hands on it.

"How did you know that?" He asked with a shocked face, I laughed and I patted his shoulders.

"You shouldn't underestimate the powers of a childhood friend" I said. He sat on the couch and he buried his head on his hands.

"So what do you want me to do? So you would keep quiet about it?" He asked and he looked at me. I took a bottle of wine along with two cups from my table.

"Drink with me" I told him. He looked at me as if he was looking at a frog. Then he sighed and sat in front of my table. And we started drinking the wine.
