That was supposed to happen waaaayyyyy back in manhwa~ like the moment Lucas came back is the same time Claude's memory came back too.
I'm already disappointed they cut all Athy's scenes when she's outside the palace like how she travel in another country or goes to Izekiel's school and meet the character from "Beware of Brothers".
Like how did she really came back in the palace and how Claude null her magic.
It's from the novel~
She did not really "came back" to palace. There's an event where Claude will parade in town to show himself to the crowd kinda like glory parade something every yr and so.
Athy used that opportunity to say hello and check her maids and her nanny. When she came to her nanny it feels like nanny is expecting her and she looked worried. "They" were expecting her. Claude was also in the same room and he looks angry while the maids are terrified and worried.
Athy tried to teleport and get away but Claude set this trap from the start. He was not the one in the parade. He was there expecting for Athy. He uses his magic to null Athy's magic so Athy can't do any magic at all. Claude also threatened her that if she tries to get away again he'll kill all her maids especially her nanny.
She stays at her palace. Does not really visits Claude often at first but then she realized Claude does not care anymore if she's alive. Before she gets caught by Claude, Athy made a promise with Jeanette to see fireworks.
Athy asked for Claude's permission at first Claude is against it. But Athy promises that she'll come back to him.
wait the novel that was translated to english is only up until claude remembered athy though... the whole plot abt him collapsing and everything is not in the novel. This part of the novel ur talking abt is when claude wanted to kill athy bcs he forgot abt her. The novel is vry different from the manhwa so it was probably confusing but claude collapsing was never in the novel thats why i was confused on how they got the spoiler for the next chapter
I've already finished the novel and sides.
Manhwa is completely different. By this time Athy should have been fully grown. After Claude regains his memory in Novel. Everything is the same. Some Nobles did not know about the memory lost thing so they guessed Princess lost his majesty's favor while in party some nobles disrespects Athy and they also dis not know that Athy is back in palace. They told Claude that they will certainly bring back that Criminal *referring to Athy* and how ungrateful etc etc she is and how she is no longer the princess. And guess what happends to them >_< .
There's a time leap I think about 3 or 4, yrs I forgot but Athy became more beautiful as she aged.
And as I'm guessing in manhwa Athy will remain in this age for a long time till they solve everything about her uncle.

I READ A SPOILER OF WHEN CLAUDE WILL WAKE UP BUT DAMN, WAKE THE FK UP CLAUDE, WE ARE ALL PANICKIN HERE HAHAHAHA
