A new day and another boring tea party at the imperial palace. Of course as a noble person, you are forced to participate.

So there you are, dressed in your finery and sitting in one of the chairs at the table. Your forced smile as you socialize with the rest of the tea party participants.

At least the sweets are good. Is your thought as you continue to participate in the party.

And then the crown prince shows up at the party and the show begins. Almost everyone is afraid of him and it is obvious that his empress and stepmother is not enjoying his presence and biting remarks.

But for you, something interesting is finally happening and your eyes don't stray from him as you watch it all happen. At least until he walks away from the party and gets lost in the bushes and trees of the gardens.
