The Dancing Winds palace was quiet and serene as the Fourth Prince and his daughter sat quietly in the garden . Raina sat at a small table eating her breakfast a book splayed in her other hand . She was trying to read as she ate, looking seriously at the text . Meanwhile Clovis poured over reports from the merchants, and financial statements that would need to be discussed that afternoon . Neither were aware they were being watched from the doorway of their own home .

Kyera leaned against the doorway, dressed in a simple outfit Half Eye had prepared for her . The warm brown skirt matched with a emerald green top that brought out the silver strands in her now braided hair . The cream colored bone beads on the top were mimicked on the skirt tying the outfit together . As she watched them a smile curled her lips, a soft chuckle as she enjoyed the scene .

Like father like daughter in a scene of perfection in the gardens . The calm was relaxing as the natural scenery gave them the perfect welcoming background to their morning . She didn't want to break the secret harmony, but if they caught her staring it would be hard to explain .

"Good Morning, Your highness, your ladys.h.i.+p . " Kyera greated as she pushed off the doorway and straightened her posture . The serem had been a G.o.d sent, as she barely hurt at all . It didn't always work this well, but thankfully it had chosen to be particularly effective this time .

The excitement on Raina's face was instantaneous as she looked up and saw Kyera . The little girl's face beamed with excitement . Clovis looked up as well, relief in his cool blue eyes . There was a warmth to him that Kyera felt instantly . Heat started at her cheeks, both turning a soft pink . Clovis chuckled as he stood pulling out the chair on the other side of the desk .

"Come sit down, Lady Kyera . " Clovis all but ordered . The concern in his voice made her blush more but she sheepishly nodded and sat down in the chair he offered . Raina smiled and waved a servant over, whispering an request to her before watching them .

"Thank you, Fourth Prince . I am doing alot better but not quite steady on my feet yet . " Kyera replied grateful for his kindness . Though she was mostly healed, her body was still lacking the nutrition to function normally .

"You're Welcome . You need to heed your body's warnings . You are not fully healed . " he reminded her rather gently . Kyera nodded .

"Master Half Eye was able to find that my trouble was exhaustion and needing to heal . He gave me a medicine that healed most my internal injuries . Now I just need to get my strength back up and I will be fine . " Kyera replied brus.h.i.+ng off their concern rather easily . She seemed light hearted as ever .

"Oh? Then I know no better way to increase strength than good food . " Clovis replied as he waved over a maid . She was already headed their way with a tray . He was surprised to see three bowls on it . Two of them were filled with a rice porridge smelling gently of spices and warmth were as the third bowl was filled with nuts, fruits, and berries from the garden .

"Yes sir?" the maid asks as she looked for somewhere to set the tray . Kyera realized the issue quicker than he had and stacked and moved the doc.u.ments on the desk . She did so in such a methodical organized manner he didn't think to protest . Once they were neatly stacked out of the way, the maid had s.p.a.ce to set down the tray for them .

Seeing that his maid had somehow deduced what he needed, Clovis paused for something to say . Raina giggled seeing her father's expression . "I thought we could all have breakfast together . " Raina offered as she used the spoon to put some fruit and nuts in her porridge . Kyera smiled at her .

"Thank you, Princess . It is my honor . " Kyera replied with a bow of her head . Clovis smiled at both women and a mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes .

"The pleasure is mine, to have both the blossoming bloom and the full bloom cherry blossom at my table . " Prince Clovis replied as he watched both ladies blush at his words . Raina was accustomed to such compliments from her father, but took pity on Kyera who was suffering his teasing flirt for the first time .
