When I woke up it seemed that everyone else had time to be in their daily activities. My mom was trying to make lunch for the others, although she really should be at her job, using the early morning shooting as an excuse she took the day off. My brother Cesar got up in the morning and drank about a liter of coffee before going to school because although he was recovering, someone has to go and take care of Haru, Tamamo wanted to accompany him but he told her that she better stay to watch the house because he was afraid that the same thing would happen again now that he is not here. The twins were sitting in the living room listening to Tamamo talk about his past. While Momo was sitting next to me waiting for the food too. We were both talking about everything a little to pass the time.

"You know now that I think about it"
"Don't you think Cesar seems to be too used to being a girl?"
"I mean, it's supposed to be something that happened recently, but you don't think it's strange that since he knows how to take care of his long hair, he knows how to put on a bra, he goes by brushing his tail from time to time. He knows how to put on women's clothes, even though his tail does not seem to make it difficult for him to have it"
"Hell, he didn't even ask how to use the bathroom!"
"They are things that a man would never pay attention to"

"Cesar?"
"Well that actually has an explanation"

"Wait what !?"

"Well yes, although I think it is something that he would not like to talk about face to face."

"Really!"
"That just makes you want to know more !?"
"He's not here right now, can you talk about that?"

"You too mom?"

"Well I mean, I was wondering that too"
"But I don't think it's a good idea to ask him why he knows so much about the subject when he managed to return"
"You know how he is, he likes to be treated like nothing changes in him, but the truth is that we have to know how he is facing his current condition"

"Well I can talk about it now that he is gone"
"But I warn you once you never heard this through me"
"We agree?"

"Alright!"

Tamamo and the twins were also next to us now to hear Momo speak.

"I did not participate in that, but I managed to hear the details through Rafael"
"Well, I think the best way to start is by mentioning that Cesar was married before, even before Tamamo."
"That girl was called Nanami, and she was the empress of a very ancient kingdom, Atlantis."
"In that place, the royal family was very important, they were venerated almost as gods."
"During the war against the dragons that kingdom was the most important point of the entire war, if the humans lost it they would have no way to win, and the same for the dragons"
"So the collaboration and morale of the kingdom of Atlantis was vital to win the war"
"Their marriage was in secret, nobody knew"
"If it was known that Nanami married a foreigner from outside the kingdom, the protests would not be long in coming."
"Although I don't know how long they were together"
"During a moment in the war, I don't know how, Nanami died and Cesar was trapped in her body, just like now."
"Only three people knew that it was Cesar and not Nanami"
"One was Rose, the head of the I.S.C and the army of the humans of the earth."
"The other was an Angel who worked for the security section and who helped them"
"And finally one of Nanami's personal guards, who noticed it by himself"
"Because Nanami's death would have caused enormous chaos in the Atlantean people that would make them lose the war"
"Rose decided that Cesar should impersonate Nanami at all times to hide the truth."
"He had no choice but to start behaving like a lady in no time"
"Although that happened a long time ago, I am sure that he still remember the basics of that time"
