"Why wouldn't you want them to know?" I asked the emperor as I was feeding him. He hadn't been saying much but only was giving me cold treatment. I had been asking him and trying to make him speak but he was just stubborn so I stopped being formal with him.
Believing if he got angry and start speaking or scolding. But he didn't seem to mind even though I was speaking like I knew him for a long time.
He seemed tired but the blue-ness of his body was almost nonexistent. Arashi might get a hunch if this keeps going. And I couldn't keep things away from him. I felt guilty.
As I released a sigh, I took the bowl to the table and the flute I had been practicing with Rei dropped on the ground. I had it secured in my obi so I could practice it once I was inside my room as well.
I picked it up and the emperor saw the instrument in my hands.
He demanded, "Play a song for me."
"Err... But I have only started to practice it a day before." I answered.
