Chapter 1025: Yunohana’s Gratitude

"Then how are you?" Kaiden asked his mother. "Have you eaten yet?"

Kaiden Grey waited for Vespera’s answer with his tea cooling between his hands, comfortably surrounded by his family in the Circle’s private sitting room.

"Have you eaten yet?" he repeated when Vespera glanced at something beyond the camera.

"I have food here."

"I know you do. But that wasn’t the question."

She looked back at him.

"...I will eat it."

"While it’s still food, please."

Vespera lifted a covered plate into view, proving its existence to her troublesome son. Beside him, Alexandra leaned forward to inspect it.

"Lady Vespera, could you take a proper break? Your food will get cold while you work."

"I am taking one now."

Kaiden smiled at her through the screen. "Then we’ll let you enjoy your meal. Call me later?"

"Yes."

He waited until she reached for the cover before saying goodbye. Alice waved from the sofa’s arm, and their mother’s gaze lingered on her children until the call ended.

Sonoda returned a little later with news from the council. The ministers were still discussing the discovery with the Circle, and the garrisons needed updated instructions before anyone approached another occupied district.

"We would appreciate some time to prepare, my lord. The investigators will contact us as soon as they have anything substantial."

"Of course. We’ve done three dungeons today. We can stop here for now."

"Three," Luna repeated, stretching her legs beneath the table. "Pretty good day, honestly. Until the mosquito."

"Why lie? Watching the mosquito get eaten was the highlight of your day, gremlin bestie."

"..." The fact she didn’t have a comeback to that told everyone how right Nyx truly was.

Yunohana stood beside her chair and addressed the family.

"Then, if you are willing, I would like to make a small detour on our way home. There is a place I would very much enjoy showing you."

"Does it have food?" Nyx asked.

"It does."

"I’m willing."

"Shocking," Luna muttered.

Kaiden grinned, then looked up at their hostess. "What sort of place?"

"A garden court with several shops. Clothing, ornaments, sweets... The family who owns the kimono house takes wonderful care of its work. You seemed to enjoy the yukata at the estate, so I thought you might like to have something special made for you."

"Made for us?" Alexandra asked.

"Kimono, designed and fitted for each of you. We can choose the fabrics and discuss the work today. Once they are finished, I would be delighted to find an occasion for you to wear them."

Aria’s fingers tightened around his arm.

"Kai."

"I heard."

"We should embrace the local culture..." Aria’s eyes were dead set on getting herself a kimono as gorgeous as Yunohana’s. The ultra graceful Japanese woman had sparked the yandere’s endless desire to appear as appealing to Kaiden as possible.

"You have an interested customer already," he told Yunohana.

Yunohana’s smile warmed, but she remained standing before him with her hands folded.

"There is something I would like to say first, Lord Grey."

He set down his cup, giving her his attention.

"When you told your mother that you wished to stay, I was deeply moved. More than I managed to express at the time."

Yunohana glanced toward the windows overlooking the city before meeting his eyes again.
