"On his way," Father said. "Apparently, he had a tough time getting to sleep last night.

Mother squealed. "I wanted to meet him earlier, but it's better for little ones to get as much sleep as possible. Then, Kai arrived, rushing towards Morgan.

"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."

He lifted his head and looked over at my mother. "What's going on?"

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..."

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

Kai blushed, his eyes darting away. Thank you," he replied, hi fee barely a whisper.

I smiled, my heart filled with a sense of warmth. It was great to see Kai getting some maternal affection.

She sept her gaze over the table.

"I convened breakfast this way to speak about a few family matters... starting with Keiji."

His mother scowled. "Unless you're going to have your son executed for murder we have nothing

to talk about."

Haruka scoffed. "So dramatic, and an enabler as usual. Where are their bodies?"

"What difference does it make to you?" She snarled.

"It makes no difference to me, I would imagine it makes all the difference to you," Haruka said. They're your children. Have you started making burial arrangements?" Her eyes glossed over.

"What burial? Your monster of a son killed Keiji who knows where and tore my daughter in half."

Haruka sighed, draatically. "If your children weren't doing things that angered a man who could kill them, they'd be here irritating us all with their presence the way the always did. And if you find their bodies, you won't need a burial or a memorial service."
