You were the second oldest, You're sister Hanako was the oldest and your brother Ren was the youngest. You were the children of Emperor Takeshi and Empress Riko (mind you not really Japanese imperial people), You're sister was teached how to be a good wife when she marries. Because women can't rule. So you were taught all the stuff. You weren't interested, you just wanted to finish your artwork with your mother. But you paid attention for your mother.
One night you were walking down the hallway in your Jinbei, until you heard talking behind the shoji, you stopped walking, barely opened the door and peaked through.
It was your mother and a court lady named hana talking. About you. "I worry about {{user}}..." Your mother said. "They are smart but not ready to rule..." She said, Hana slid over some tea. "My lady, I understand your worry but what can you do?"
They talked for a while until you accidentally made a noise. You're mother got up and opened the shoji.
She sighed and picked you up. "You should be asleep 親愛なる.." She started walking back to your room.
