I said refusing to look at my brother and his girfriend "nonsense if Saito's so busy why doesn't Louise help you if she doesn't mind" mom said I stood up my hands coming to rest on the table as my entire face heated up right to my ears "n-n-no i-it's f-fine i'll be fine" I stammered grabbing my dishes and heading to the kitchen "Azusa" I heard my father call after me I went back to the table and sat down "sorry may I be excused" I asked looking at my lap "no you can't not until one of you tell us what's going on" he said "Saito's having sex" I blurted out "really it took you this long to notice" mom said "what" I asked confused "please he's a teenage boy and he didn't have his parents around him for a while" she reasoned "I seen them in bed together that's why i'm avoiding them" I muttered mom laughed "that's all that's wrong why didn't you say so your father and I will handle the dishes all of you go to bed" she said we all nodded and left.

Kirche's POV

"Why do you always read" I asked Tabitha, we were laying on her bed she was in front of me facing away "because no-one has ever asked me to do anything else" she replied softly I gently ran my fingers up her back surprised when she jumped she closed the book kind of roughly and turned to face me when I did it again grinning "would you stop that" she asked I pretended to think about it for a moment "nope" I said finally she grabbed my hand when I moved to do it again she tangled her fingers through mine and moved our hands between us "fine i'll stop" I said she nodded and went to grab her book again stopping when I sighed "what's wrong with you" she asked laughing "i've been in here for over twenty minutes and you've been ignoring me" I said pouting "ask me to do something with you then" she said smiling "can I kiss you" I asked "stop asking" she said leaning up I tilted my head and pressed my lips to hers my tongue darting out to ask for entrance she parted her lips with a soft moan "Miss Tabitha you have a letter from ho- oh i'm very sorry" a boy said coming into her room I groaned when she pulled away and sat up facing the new arrival with her normal silence she held her hand out for the letter he quickly handed it to her and left, Tabitha carefully opend the letter reading through it once before smiling slightly I tilted my head to the side in confusion, "what happened" I asked curiously "someone they don't mention who found the right ingredients and made the cure for my mother, she wants me to come see her" she said still smiling "will you go" I asked "well we do have a break from school coming up, did you want to come with me" she asked turning to face me her eyes lighting up I laughed and nodded she kissed me again.

 

It's been two weeks since that day and finally the break is here and we're on our way our hands clasped together on the seat between us as we talked about Tabitha's childhood before her father passed, she was a lot happier than I had ever seen her, "Lady Charlotte, Miss Zerbst welcome" Percerin said bowing in front of us "please take me to my mother" Tabitha asked as we were assisted from the carriage as soon as we were both standing Tabitha grabbed my hand again she looked a little nervous as the butler led us inside to the drawing room where the Dutchess was waiting by the window the doll she so often held sitting on the table in front of her I glanced at Tabitha and was surprised to find tears in her eyes "Mil'lady" Percerin said quietly the Dutchess turned to face us and seen Tabitha, Tabitha took a hesitant step toward her mother her grip on my hand making me step with her "mother" Tabitha whispered "Charlotte" her mother said Tabitha let go of my hand finally and ran into her mother's arms crying, her mother pulled her onto her lap gently soothing her until she calmed down I glanced away as her mother looked over to me "who might you be" she asked I knelt down on one knee with my head bowed "Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt-Zerbst, Dutchess" I said clearly, used to being asked who I was "are you a friend from school then" she asked before I heard a small gasp of surprise from her I smirked quickly "please raise your head" she asked when I looked up I seen Tabitha's cheeks were red so I assumed she had told her mother I was a little more than a friend "you are my daughter's lover" her mother asked softly I nodded my head silently and looked at Tabitha "how long have you know my daughter" her mother asked "since Tabitha came to the school Mil'lady before her lover I was her friend" I explained "Tabitha" she asked I mentally cursed myself "Charlotte Mil'lady at school she knows herself as Tabitha" I said quietly "very well would you care to come sit with us" she asked gesturing to the chair across from them "yes thank you" I replied standing and going over to sit down "how is school" she asked Tabitha "it is school how can one possibly have fun studying" Tabitha replied "fair point" her mother said "may Kirche stay for the holiday" Tabitha asked suddenly "I don't see why not if her family says it's okay" her mother answered "they don't care where I stay that's why they sent me to Tristen Magic Academy" I said quietly not looking at Princess or Dutchess across from me "then I have no objections at all" the Dutchess said I looked up and smiled gently although I knew the tears were there whenever I thought of the last time I saw my family they always came "shall we adjorn to have something to eat" she asked Tabitha and I nodded so we left the room heading for the dining hall Tabitha stepped back from her mother with a quick glance at me "we will join you in a moment mother" Tabitha said her mother nodded and stepped into the dining hall while Tabitha stayed to calm me down "aren't you usually the one to calm me down" she said laughing I smiled and nodded as she leaned up and gently kissed me "don't worry about it, it's their fault for sending you away" she said quietly we went to supper shortly after that, the Dutchess was at the head of the table with Tabitha on one side and myself on the other side dinner was spent with Tabitha's mother getting to know Tabitha better after all the years while I ate in silence watching the two when it came time to tell her mother about Louise and Saito my nose scrunched up I glanced up when Tabitha laughed and seen her watching me "what I don't like them" I reasoned "why this time" she asked smiling "they went to Saito's world and didn't even ask if we wanted to come" I answered "if they had of asked would you have said yes" she asked her head tilting to the side and her eyes shining with curiousity "would you" I replied she shook her head "no I wouldn't if I had of gone then I wouldn't have found out about my mother" she answered "well there you have your answer I wouldn't go anywhere without you no matter what sight came before my eyes it wouldn't be worth it being around with out the most beautiful girl next to me" I said softly turning my attention back to my plate to hide my deep red cheeks Tabitha was silent as was her mother glancing quickly at the two of them I found the Dutchess looking between Tabitha and I and Tabitha was looking down at her lap with a dark red blush covering her face "I think that's enough talking for tonight" her mother said standing and leaving the table.
