Kihara Fuyumi POV

It took us three and a half days to get here to the south again since Sen-Hime insisted that we stop and take a rest…she’s a very kind princess but she shouldn’t have concern herself over me since I was feeling better already, when we arrived at my small town it was already in the middle of the night no one was around except for the Kihara Soldiers that are on patrol and on guard, we arrived at the gate and the first thing that they did was bow their heads to me and greeted me

“Fuyumi-sama has arrived! Welcome back Fuyumi-sama!” they announced

“Thanks” I said sighing, we entered the town and the streets were empty only a few patrols greeted us, when we arrived to the Kihara Manor maids rushed towards us.

“Welcome Back, Fuyumi-Sama” the maids said in unison

“Thank you for your hard-work” the head maid said to me, I nodded to her
“I have prepared clean clothes and a warm bath for you Fuyumi-sama and you as well Hime-sama, the room that you will be staying is also ready” the maid informs us

“Huh?” I was confused “You already knew that we were arriving?” I asked the head maid

“I actually sent a letter before-hand Fuyumi-chan I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you” Sen-Hime clarifies

“I see” I said with a contemplating look “I’ll change later, I need to see Okasama first, where is she?” I asked the head maid

“Asami-sama is in her chambers” I thanked the maid and went to Okasama’s bedroom when we arrived I announced myself first, a gentle voice then beckons us to enter, When we entered her room, Sen-Hime bowed to her and greeted her

“It’s a pleasure to meet you again Asami-san” Sen-Hime tells her

“The Pleasure is all mine, Sen-Hime” she bows as well smiling at her “But before our discussion Sen-Hime please excuse me since I need to talk to my careless daughter” I jumped at the sudden mention of ‘daughter’ she looked at me with a blank expression “Fuyumi”

“Okasama!” I immediately responded straightening my posture.

“You have made a serious offense” I already knew that I was getting a lecture and a punishment when I get home “and I know you know what you have done” Okasama’s voice was cold and harsh

“Yes” I answered truthfully

“We will discuss this further tomorrow in your fathers study, tonight get some rest, you as well Sen-Hime” she dismisses us.

“Understood” I said before bowing my head.

“Thank you for having us here Asami-san” Sen-Hime says before all of us exited Okasama’s room.

“I will lead you in your chambers Sen-Hime” the head maid tells Sen-Hime, Sen-Hime nods and smiles at me.

“Fuyumi-sama?” the other maid called out to me, I nod and she leads me to my chambers

Okasama will surely give me an earful tomorrow and so is Otōsama, but for tonight I’ll just take a bath then rest, if I can rest…

-THE NEXT DAY-

When I was summoned in Otōsama’s study I felt like I was going to be executed well, it’s not as if I fear death but I fear Otōsama and Okasan’s words rather than death itself, and to add to things Yuriko-Nēsama and Toshio-nii are going to be there as well.

“Fuyumi-chan” Sen-Hime was waiting for me along with Kimigiku-san

“Are you ready?” Kimigiku-san asked
