Confusion and a warmth of a family

" Your Highness, my youngest son is unaware of the manner of how to serve the royal family. Please reconsider Your Highness," Nano with a agitated voice. The desperate tone of a powerful man and the bond he shared with his family made Tadashi feel guilty even to order his son to a life of servitude. He knew how it feels when you lose your family and how it feels when on one cares.  

The only moment he remember of his own family is sharing a meal in the large dinner room. Servants would stand at the side, ready to serve the royals. The king and two princes  sitting miles away munching away the meal that was prepared. The pain striking silent shared among them. Even though the meal was warm, the room felt chilled. He though for a second and knew what he wanted in exchange of his silents.

" Alright, share a meal with me as a family. I may reconsider taking away your son," Nano felt the tension lifting as soon as Tadashi said that he would reconsider taking his son away from him. But he was still wary of the prince, the prince might change his mind anytime.

 Luna was glad that her patient was recovered in a short time and the conflict was solved at the time being. Luna is the healer of the family. She was an expert when it came to treatment and illness. Since Nano took her in, he taught her everything about healing. Her siblings would always come to her if they got hurt so that Nano would not be angry at them for playing recklessly. No matter who may be coming to Luna with sickness, they surely would recover and be healthier than before. Her talent in healing became extraordinary after her bonding ritual which excelled Nano healing skills. 

After Nano left, Luna handed Miguel an ointment to be applied on Tadashi to strengthen his muscle. His muscles were still weak although his mana returned to him. She noticed how tensed he was when Miguel was not near him. She noticed how he was relaxed when Miguel was near him. Luna instructed Miguel to stay by the young prince until he gets better. 

Miguel tried his best to aid the young prince as much as he could. He helped Tadashi to get on his feet. Then lead him to the dinner table. There he saw the whole family gathered around the table. Simple meals was prepared contrasting how extravagant meals were served at the palace. There were laughter and chatter. Tadashi tend to think that spirits were only used as weapons or tools to elevate social status. By observing the head mage family how they treated their spirit as part of the family. Even though the room was small compared to the Diner room it was felt coziness. Arna was still wasn't sure how to feel that she had to share her family meal with the Prince.

Miguel made his life mission to make Tadashi to feel at home. He would spend all his time with Tadashi even thought it was meet with cold shoulder at first. Gradually Tadashi warmed up to Miguel. Arna would always stay beside Miguel. She didn't want her little brother to get hurt by a high class jerk. Slowly, Arna saw she and Tadashi was the same person. The only different was that she had a family who had his back and Tadashi didn't. They became closer. Days passed, Tadashi was doing very well with Miguel and Arna  by his side. But one thing bothered everyone . Why wasn't anyone from the palace was searching for the young prince? 

On the fortnight during Tadashi stay,  Diane chimed in "My vacation days are up, and I need get back to the bar,". " Very well then  I too need to get back to the palace. It's clear that no one is looking for me and thank you for your hospitality. I will keep my word. Head mage is it okay if I could join your family for meals in the future?," Tadashi spoke. Nano sensed that the prince was a boy who just wanted to be loved and a child that wants a family that love him back. 

" Of Course Your Highness," said Nano with a kind smile.
