"Lady Morgan, you're awake!" he cried, throwing his arms around her. "I really missed you."

Morgan hugged him back. "I missed you, too. I hope you weren't too lonely?"

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.

She had clearly taken an instant liking to him, and he seemed to feel the same. At least that meant he wouldn't be looking at Morgan like a replacement maternal figure. Morgan almost seemed relieved. I leaned toward her and whispered. "Happy to just be a big sister?"

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