The koi fish part 3

Birds sang their morning song outside as the sun kissed his eyes. The prince sat up on the futon where that he had been sleeping on. He wore a thin white night kimono and his clothes from last night laid in the corner of the room. His hands moved through his hair and he made a morning yawn.

He rose from the ground and walked over to the pile of clothes. The prince put on his clothes and he walked towards the door. Servants were walking around in the mansion attending to all the guests from last night. The princes walked down the corridor and stopped in front of his own room. He knocked on the wooden part of the slide door before moving it to the side.

When he came into the room, the futon on the floor was empty. He stepped into the room and saw that the door to the garden was open. On the porch, he saw the girl from last night sitting on the edge of the porch. She was wearing a white kimono and her danced in the morning breeze. A soft smile was on the prince's lips as he walked out to the girl. She turned towards him as the floor made a creaking sound.

"Did you sleep well?" the princes said as he held a hand on the door. He walked over next to her and sat down next to her. The garden on this part of the house was the prince's personal garden were nobody entered without his permission. She looked at him with a smile on her lips and nodded.

"Now, what are we going do?" he mumbled while turning his upper body 60 degrees towards her. She tilted her head with an empty look in her eyes. A smile was on his lips as he said "you don't expect me to keep you hidden in my room forever, do you" he said questionably.

A small butterfly landed in her open hands. It had pearl white colored wings and it's body look like it was made of silver. Her eyes were glittering as lifted the butterfly closer to her perception. The princes smiled sweetly at her as he saw the fascination in the girl's eyes. A cricking sound came from behind them and the butterfly left the girls hands. Her eyes were sad as she saw the butterfly fly away. The princes looked behind him and saw a servant girl standing in his room with panic written all over her face.

"What are you doing here?" he said staring directly at the servant. The girl sitting next to him turned and looked towards the servant as well.

"I am sorry, Lord Akihiko" the servant spat out while bowing her head towards the ground. The prince smiled as he felt the girl sitting next to him placing her hand on top of his. He squeezed her hand a bit as he said to the servant "tell me the reason you came" while making fake smile.

"The guest from last night are leaving now," she said while standing straight and keep herself from making eye contact. The princes rose from the edge of the porch and turned towards the servant.

"Alright, tell them I be out to see them off in a minute" he said and gazed down at the girl in the blue kimono.

"Alright my Lord" the servant said and walked towards the door. When she opened the door, the prince said, "Wait a moment". The servant girl turned around while holding a hand on the slide door.

"Could you please show my new assistant around, while I be seeing the guest off," he said while making a smile. The servant bowed and said "of course". He looked down at the girl in the blue kimono and whispered, "When she has showed you around you come back here and wait for me".

The prince walked up to the servant and said, "Please make a carriage ready for me and my assistant to go into the town". The servant nodded and the prince left the room. She turned towards the girl in the blue kimono and said "come with me" while smiling. The girl in the blue kimono followed the servant around the mansion, while the prince walked outside.
