He leaves for a few minutes and when he come back he has a whip, also he’s dragging both Izumi and Kanna out to watch want happens when you disobey. When he starts both Izumi and Kanna are starting to cry, but Aiko doesn’t cry for at least 10 minutes. After his finished he unties Aiko whose back is covered in blood

“Now clean her up the prince will be coming soon.” Her father says walking off, when they dress Aiko’s wounds Izumi leaves the room crying.

“Please hurry I have to get dressed,” Aiko says to Kanna. Kanna gets through dress her and her wounds without Izumi, both Kanna and Aiko stay silent in the room. But Kanna is just as sad as Izumi and she can see that Aiko’s in a lot of pain, Aiko tries her best to not show her pain as they walk down the stairs and sit in the lounge room with Izumi. All three of them try to wipe their faces, so no one knows that they have been crying. After only a short while waiting in the lounge a carriage puts up out the front

“It must be the prince.” Aiko says walking out of the room “come we don’t want to keep him waiting,” all the girls walk outside as their father is greeting the King and his son. The prince walks up to each one of them and asks them they names, both Izumi and Kanna whisper their names. As the king and prince walk inside Aiko notices a footman about her age, she didn’t know that footman at her age where aloud to sever. While the king and his son settle Aiko starts wandering around her house trying not to sit down. She soon sees the footman again and walks up to him

“Well not really I’m an exception,” he says sit down

“What your name? You don’t have to tell me, but I would like to know.” Aiko says siting down

“Tomoko,” he says looking at her

“My name is Aiko, can we be friends?” Aiko says trying not to show her pain

“Sure, but I have never meant a noble person who want to be friends with a footman.” He says still looking at her

“Well, I’m one of a kind.” She says, Tomoko notices she’s in pain and say

“What the matter?” Aiko looks at him and stands up

“Nothing, my backs just a bit saw.” She says, Tomoko stands up and looks at her back and as soon as he touches it she faints. Tomoko pick her up and carries her inside, he gives her to her father and goes straight to the king
