Minato's POV.

It's already past 8 pm and we were caught up in a traffic jam so I called Sakura-san and I told her through the phone.

Minato: Me and Mr. Takebayashi will be late.

Sakura: I see. The storm is beginning to become strong y'know.

Minato: Yeah. By the way, what about our guests?

Sakura: They are already resting at the guest houses.

Minato: What about Princess Char? I heard that mom decided to let her sleep in the Imperial Quarters.

Sakura: Yes. Well......Hoshi-sama decided to let Char sleep in her room.

Minato: I see.

Sakura: So, you guys are going to be late?

Minato: Yeah. Maybe we'll arrive at around 9 pm because of this traffic jam.

Takebayashi: Well, looks like this traffic isn't going to move. It seems like there is an accident that happened here.

Minato: What? Again?

Takebayashi: Well, the rain is too heavy, if you're not doubly careful, you'll really get caught yourself in an accident.

Sakura: Well, be careful on your way.

Minato: Yeah. We will.

She hang up the call and I put back my phone to my pocket.

Minato: *sigh*

Takebayashi: Looks like we're going to be on the road for a little while.

Minato: Yeah. A storm in a middle of a winter night.

Takebayashi: This is really unexpected.

Minato: So, Mr. Takebayashi.........about Aoi, transferring at Dahlia Academy.

Takebayashi: She chose that in her own free will.

Minato: I see.

Takebayashi: Actually, it was the Emperor who will pay her tuition at the academy.

Minato: I see. Speaking of that, how about Aoi's grandma? Is she okay now?

Takebayashi: Yeah. She's getting better now.

Minato: I see. Thank goodness.

Then I just stared at the car's window, while watching at rain drops slide on the window.

Minato: Rain in a middle of a winter night.........

Minato: Gray clouds covering the moonlight.

Minato: The stars in the night sky shrouds,

Minato: Shrouded under the rainy clouds.

Minato: *sigh*
