—You shouldn't go, mother. —I insisted again.

A lot has happened since an accident of any kind occurred in the surroundings or in the kingdom, but a hunch presses my chest every time I think of my mother traveling to the Quartz Kingdom, and not for anything, but because it is two days by boat.

She has her back to me, looking out the wide window of her room while she talks to me.

—I'm sorry, Izu. You know I'm part of the council. —she explained to me again. —Therefore I have no choice, besides, surely the Quartz kingdom has already organized everything. It wouldn't be fair for me to cancel at this point; I only came to warn you, not to ask you.

—But mom, the next meeting isn't supposed to be for a few months —I replied again, really latching on to the idea.

—I know, but it is an emergency according to Rei's words, and it is not discussed with her.

I sigh, exhausted.

She turns to look at me and smiles, then approaches me and takes my face in her hands.

—Do not worry honey.  Everything will be fine, I won't be gone more than a week.

—You promise?

—I promise.

She gives me another smile and kisses me on the forehead, lowering his hands to her sides.

—The ship will leave early tomorrow, I would like you to be there to say goodbye and so that Tenya can give you the itinerary, okay?

—Okay, I'll be there.

—Perfect. Tomorrow, put on the suit that I ordered for you, so that the people will know that even if you are a substitute, you are willing to perform.

I nodded at the request and we said goodbye with a bow, which is customary.

Tomorrow will be a hard day, and probably all week.

—I don't know, what should I wear, Eijiro? —I ask him, looking at myself in the mirror, not entirely convinced with the dress I'm modeling.

I am wearing a dress with a neckline, wine color and with light ruffles at the bottom, while at the top there are a few stones that resemble rubies.

—You look good with everything, Queen Mitsuki —he answers, with a certain degree of shyness.

I turn my back on the mirror and look at my large closet with probably hundreds of outfits to wear, although the problem will still be what type of meeting I will attend and who will show up.

—It is an extraordinary meeting, your highness, not a gala. You could even go without a dress and wear a comfortable outfit, just the way you like; It is not necessary to always suffocate yourself in those clothes.

I let out a sigh and look back at the mirror, analyzing what I saw again. —The problem would always lie in popular opinion, it is not well regarded for girls to wear pants and shirts, it is reserved for men.
