'F' Is For Family
Yashiro opened the door and found that everyone was already seated and waiting for them.
"What took you guys so long?" Ai whined.
Astoria immediately let go of his hand and smiled.
"Geez, it's not like you'll starve to death, little fox," he teased her, walking to her side and ruffling her hair.
She pouted at her brother and pushed his hand away. The king and queen laughed. Astoria noticed that Yashiro's brother, Yoshito, was seated next to his sister.
"Hi, princess Nexi. Glad to see you again," he said warmly.
"Hi," she replied, walking to her seat, "You too."
She sat across Ai, with Yashiro next to her. Looking at him, he smiled at her. Blushing lightly, she quickly directed her gaze away from him.
"Well then," the king began, "since everyone is seated. How about we dig in before my daughter complains again that she is starving."
