The Mate Agreement
I ask, taking more bites.
Bibah sighs. “It was nice.”
“Nice?!” Akio exclaims, straightening from the couch like he had been summoned. “It was downright magical. Half the royal family were in attendance, could you believe it?” He slinks off the couch takes advantage of his long limbs to grab two cupcakes in each hand. He pretends to not see my glare and disapproving scowl. “I got to shake hands with First Prince Matthias and talked about higurashi -that’s Japanese cicadas with him. He said he liked my hat!” He chomps down on half of a cupcake; wrapping and all. “Princess Yazmin even gave a speech, oh, it was just magnificent!”
