The Color of the Phoenix's Tail: Part Five

Seien is learning how to deal with the ministers. Drama, I-3

Seien sighed; some days he felt more like a nursemaid than any kind of ruler, even one in training. Keeping the ministers away from each other's throats sometimes reminded him quite a lot of trying to keep a five-year-old Shuurei from dunking herself in the fish pond.

Oh yeah; Seiran is so self-reliant and untrusting, except with a very, very few. Poor guy. That actually seems to be coming up as a plot-point later on in this 'verse. To do the work of Emperor, he has to expand it beyond Shuurei and Ryuuki and Shouka. *evil grin* And Ensei, eventually.

Glad you liked it!

That's the way I see it as well. Well, of course, my own theory also involves aliens, but I'm not sure you want to hear about it XD

Yep, I really liked it. Sorry I wasn't able to review these parts earlier!
