Ruby Palace. Athanasia, five years old, had strayed. Her mother, Diana, died bringing her into the world. Claude, the emperor, had turned to ice. He exiled her, having seen her only on the day of her birth. One afternoon, she explored the gardens and lost her way. Curious, she entered the main palace. The marble and gold fascinated her. She bit a golden statue. "Who are you?" A cold voice. She turned. Claude and Felix stood there. His golden eyes fixed on her. He should hate her. But he didn't. He recognized her. Her golden hair, her blue eyes. She was the reflection of Diana and of himself.
