Queen's Lessions
Yuzu: Ok Sota take this fork and this knife and hold it this way.
Karin: Now take the napkin and place it on your lap very lightly, not too rough.
Yuzu: Hold the glass and let your pinky out when sitting the glass down.
Karin: Read this page of this book about our country's history, then mother will show you how to dance.
Sota: Dance?
Yuzu & Karin: Yes dance.
(Sota feeling nervous)
Sota: What kind of dance am I doing?
Queen Misuki: The Waltz. I love a good waltz, it has grace and beauty when two people get close together dancing around the ballroom floor.
Sota: I don't know how to dance, especially The Waltz your majesty.
Queen Misuki: That;s why I'm here to teach you my dear and please call me mom.
(That word MOM it haunts Sota and its like a dagger through his heart)
Queen Misuki: Are you ok Sota?
Karin: Yeah you ok?
Yuzu: Sota..
(Sota signed and told the story about his mom)
Sota: I'm about to tell a story.. please be reasonable for me, it maybe hard on me when I start to cry.
(He told them everything of him and his mother and aunt Izumi who were attacked by a stranger)
Queen Misuki: Oh Sota I'm so sorry. You must be heartbroken inside. *She hugs him*
Yuzu: We are here for you, itsn't that right Karin?
Karin: Definatly, we are your family now.
Sota: Thank you. *Tears fall heavy on his face*
(A hug is all he really needed and it really felt good to have a mother's touch again)
