He shook his head. "Tsuneo kept me company sometimes, and I've been learning stuff."

Mother came around the table and crouched down in front of him.

"It's such a pleasure to meet you, Kai. I'm the king's wife, Haruka."

He blinked up at her in wonder. "I know who you are... my father talked about you sometimes."

"Oh, I'm sure he did. Welcome to the royal family, dear." She offered his hand. "How about some

breakfast? You want to sit next to me?"

"Can I?" He shuffled his feet. "That feels like a really important spot..."

"Well it is, and I say you can."

Mother led him to the chair beside her and lifted him into it.

Morgan flashed me a grin. "I have a lot of experience in that department, you know?"
