"Do you require me to stay at your side this night?""It has been a long journey..."</em><br/><br/>The young emperor's eyes had been focused onto Feng, he raised one eyebrow to the different choice of words the friend was using. But he did not have any time to comment before the young woman that was going to be his wife returned to the chamber. He watched her as she came closer and then greeted him with his name and a respectful gesture, he smiled a little and did not talk before the lady was done talking.<strong>"It is welcome change that the good emperor changed his mind, it was a rather quick idea of him."</strong>Tai said slowly and made a little pause before he continued.<br/><br/><strong>"No I do not require that you stay with me unless that is your wish milady, your not my wife yet. Your still your fathers child until our wedding"</strong>he examined her for a few seconds.<strong>"You must be tired, my servant have gone to get you a maid. I am sure you will get one of our best."</strong>He was not sure what Ethan was having in mind for a servant, but he just hoped he would pick someone good. He had captured the small glance of Ethan when the boy came back with a young lady, he remembered her rather well actually. She was a nice girl and it seemed like Ethan liked her, it could be a good choice actually.<br/><br/><em>"Master Tai," he whispered quietly, knowing that Midori could hear as well. "This is Sumi, the maid you requested for Princess Midori."</em><br/><br/>Shun Tai listened to the boy when he was talking, his eyes slowly looked to the girl on the floor and then he looked at Midori. After that to Ethan again.<strong>"Yes it seems like you did a good job in finding the maid I requested"</strong>he had a slightly more serious voice when he said that one I word. After all Ethan had pretty much been running away to get a maid without Tai's agreement. He could not say anything when the wife was present, but he was sure that Ethan got the message. He was in a little trouble, nothing tooo serious.<br/><br/>The emperor then looked to the girl on the floor again.<em>"You can stand up Sumi, let your emperor see you better"</em>he said calmly and waited for the girl to be on her feet before he turned to his in a few days to be wife.<strong>"I hope you accept this servant as your personal maid, see it as a early wedding gift from your husband"</strong>he told her.<strong>"You and your father will both get two of our best guestrooms these days before the wedding. I would also want to have a word with you milady, but there is no hurry with that. You might no know but today we are celebrating five years of peace with the other kingdoms, your more then welcome to sit down and have something to eat before going to your chambers for the night"</strong><br/><br/>
