Goodness, this is amazing!! Your characters, their dilemmas, their interactions and how you portray them is all totally fantastic!! I have a feeling that Mi'isuka is stronger than she gives herself credit for. While Mii'kuo may be right about Ka'asume being young, he might find himself being very wrong on her being powerless. ;)

She lacked her grandmother's resolution, her father's courage, all she had was her cowardliness, her timidness and her small voice. Mi'isuka knew her father was right, they were all prisoners of their own shadows, Emperor or not, they will never be free from themselves.

"You know nothing, Mi'isuka! You will NOT leave the library." "Father!" "I forbid you, end of the discussion!" "Yes, father." Mi'isuka knew, she had never won an argument with her father, her superior. She was weak, she was shy, she would not even dare talk to her own father. By Ki'konia only Mi'isuka knew how much she hated herself that way. She was a disappointment, an unworthy daughter, an unworthy granddaughter.

"No one told me, no one will. We have been forgotten, Mi'isuka, but that doesn't mean we are safe. If you still value your life, our lives, you will STAY in the library." Mii'kuo exhaled a heavy sigh. "Father, I miss mother, I want to see her." "Do you think I'm not?" That was the sparkle to the powder keg. The Grand Scholar swept aside a pile of books, his daughter winced at the thunder of the colliding of the thick tomes against the marble floor.

"Mi'isuka stop being so stupid! People don't change, the same blood runs in her veins, she is no different." "Father, how do you know the Emperor was assassinated? The servants didn't say anything. Did, did somebody tell you?" The young librarian felt lightness in the head, symptoms of hyperventilation began to set in. She tried to focus on her breaths, it distracted her from fear.

Mii'kuo stormed at his daughter, one hand slammed on the desk. "Haven't you think about it? Who's behind the assassination? The Imperial Princess? Then she is no different from her father. If not, then what awaits us is no more than another tyrant. The Imperial Heiress is young and powerless, she is nothing but a puppet." "Father, I know Her Imperial Highness, I have spoken with her, she is different!" Mi'isuka was on the blink of tears but she held them back. He hated her cry.
