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.

*snickers* Arara, I could imagine Seiran put chibi Shuurei on his lap while she scolds all those silly-willy ministers. The girl sure burns an impression on Seiran. I tell you, someone has to write an AU fic where Shuurei's the Empress.

*laughing* You know, I'm not sure but what she already is, both here and in canon! She's certainly got the Emperor wrapped around her little finger in either case.

Imagine if Shuurei's of marriage age, I could imagine Seiran's scowl at the number of potential husbands other than his own little brother. Boy, the husbands-to-be are going through a hell of a period with the Emperor Seiran.
