The Whole Family is Here To Share The “Tea”

I was lying in bed thinking about what happened in the empress' room. I escaped her room through her terrace when she went to sleep after all that madness in her room, and I went to the other room. My mom found me in the hallways and frowned at me because I was supposed to be in my room. I came up fast with the excuse of strolling around the hallways without 'eavesdropping on other conversations.' She didn't seem convinced but decided to let it go. My mom has sharp instincts when it comes to my sneaky behavior. I could tell she had suspicions, but I was relieved to have dodged a lecture. She accompanied me to my room again to ensure I was not sneaking around again.
