The koi fish part 4

Gathered outside in the front yard were the guest. All of them stood ready with their servants packing their carriages, which stood lined up next to each other. A magister walked towards the princes as he stepped out of the main entrance.

"Lord Akihiko, I must say you never stop amazing with your talent for entertaining your guests," the magister said while making a bow. The prince returned the bow and they both raised their heads.

"Thank you Magister Fujimoto, I will be looking forwards to our next meeting," the prince said while making a fake smile. A despicable smile came on the magister's lips as he then said "of course and next time I think I will be bringing my daughter". The princes nodded and said "and I while be looking forward to meet her" while having a lousy smile on his lips. A servant came over to them and whispered something into Lord Fujimoto's ear.

"It seems like I have to take my leave now" Fujimoto said and walked towards his carriage. A sigh came from the prince as the last guest left the mansion. His parents walked over to him and his father said, "I heard rumors from someone of the servants that you had hired an assistance". The prince bowed his head and said "father I thought it would be a good idea to have someone help me with all of my duties". His fathers nodded his head and said, "Of course but I would very much like to meet this person that had caught your fancy".

"Of course father I will introduce her to both of you at tonight's family dinner," the prince said while making a respectful bow. The father smiled and said "and I be looking forward to it". His parents walked into the mansion and left the prince alone outside in the front yard.

A carriage with the family crest came into the front yard. The driver jumped down from the carriage and walked over to the prince. He made a deep bow and said, "The carriage you requested". The prince looked towards the entrance of the mansion and exiting from the front door came the girl in the blue kimono.

Next to the girl was the servant from early. The prince walked up to them with a relaxed smile on his lips. He reached out his hand towards the girl She placed her hand carefully on top of his hand.

"Shall we go?" he said while squeezing the girl's hand. She nodded and the prince guided her towards the carriage. The inside of the carriage had silver decoration and the seats were made of soft purple fabric. She got into the carriage with guidance from the prince and sat down near the opposite window of where she had entered. The prince sat next to her and the carriage rolled out of the courtyard.
