Azai

Time passed and dinner time had arrived, Shilé and I changed our clothes and walked towards the dining room while we chatted through the long white corridors.

We reached the large doors of the dining room and entered, but not before taking a breath to calm myself.

All of Shilé's family were waiting for us at the table and unlike Kanor this only had the dishes, the common thing in Kanor is that the table is full of food so that when the guests arrive they can take what they like, but not here.

We sat down and as soon as we did, a servant came with a cart in which he carried a pot, person by person served us the food on the plate asking how much we wanted.

After having served everyone, the young servant left the dining room leaving us alone.

As soon as the doors were closed, they began to eat, the ways of eating here were very delicate and elegant, while in Kanor large chunks of food are taken and split on the plate with a knife, here everything was already cut into small portions that they could be carried comfortably to the mouth without making movements that seemed abrupt.

/ And well Azai, I heard that you married my grumpy son /

-Dad- Shilé complained again, it was obvious that his parents were made for each other, both had told me the same about their son.

/ Son you know it's true, you have a very bad character / His father answered laughing

^ It's true Shilé has a very bad temper ^ I joined her father in the laughs

-Azai don't join them- Shilé scolded me for my joke

^ But still I love him, he is intelligent, strong, kind, handsome and fights for what he wants, he has been an inspiration to bring justice and balance to the country ^ After my words Shilé turned very red making everyone at the table laugh .

/ Little brother did not remember you so docile / Said Nel, his older sister.

/ It's true, he had never blushed / Added his brother Ciru

We all had a nice dinner with delicious dishes and lots of laughs, unlike my family this felt united and happy, the alphas showed their affection and they were not cold and without visible emotions as in Kanor, I felt freer than ever.

After dinner each one went to continue with their tasks, Aica the youngest of the brothers went to continue his steamboat, Chel, the second smallest and the heir to the throne went to continue her studies, apparently every day she studied 2pm because of what Shilé told me.

Ciru the second oldest went to distribute food at Est Nagatch's social lunchroom and Nel went to compose music, one of his passions.

Meanwhile, Shilé and I decided to take a nice long walk through the palace gardens.

^ Shilé, your family is incredible, you all love and support each other ^

-Thanks Azai, I know your family is not very close, but now my family is yours too, we are married- Shilé's words filled me with joy, I always felt alone in my family.

^ Thanks Shilé, you don't know what that means to me, you see when I was little my mother abandoned me and my father to go with another alpha, since then it has been difficult for me to trust omegas and ... ^

-Don't continue- Shilé interrupted me

-I have something to tell you Azai, I've known for a while, but I didn't know when to tell you- After saying this we walked in silence to a marble bench under a beautiful tree full of flowers.

-Azai, your mother never abandoned you-

^ What? That's impossible, she left, she left me a letter telling me why she was leaving! ^ I lost my composure at Shilé's words.

-Your mother ... she discovered your father in an adventure and to avoid a public scandal she killed her and made you believe that she was the unfaithful one and that she did not love you- Shilé's words were like knives

^ You lie! My mother never loved me, she abandoned me! ^ I got up and yelled at Shilé who was looking at me with a face of pain and pity.

^ You don't know anything! ^ After saying this I ran, leaving Shilé alone in the middle of the garden, I couldn't believe what he had told me, it was impossible, ideas began to arise in my mind as to why he had said something like that to me, I surely wanted to eliminate any rejection I had towards omegas by lying to me like that, I can't believe that I have fallen so low as to do that, but no, that woman, that omega that I have hated so much cannot be the good one in this story, she left me, she left me a letter.

I began to cry feeling a mixture of anger and sadness, being alone at the other end of the garden and with no one around I was able to let go of everything.

Suddenly a beautiful melody began to sound relieving my pain a bit, I followed the melody until after turning a corner I saw it, Shilé's older sister, Nel, was playing one of the strange instruments that she had seen in the orchestra that she played during the solstice ceremony.

As if she could notice my presence Nel turned away from playing and making eye contact with me.

Nel gestured for me to go with her, I approached trying to hide a little my face full of tears.

/ You don't have to be strong Azai, no matter how much you wipe your tears, your face is swollen and red like a baby's / Nel was direct with me, apparently saying everything up front runs in the family

^ I really liked what you played ^ I answered trying to change the subject

/ Thank you, now tell me, what has my curmudgeon brother done to you? /

After a long talk with Nel I understood Shilé a little more and I was finally able to let go of the idea that had tortured me for years, my mother never abandoned me and always loved me.

Nel hugged me for a long time until I could calm down, she really deserved her title "The flower of the palace" she was a very beautiful alpha and, moreover, although direct she was kind and made you feel good.

Tomorrow I would have to apologize to Shilé, but today I had made a very good friend.
