I scanned the old couple, and by the behavior of Hana, who was standing just behind them, I could guess their standing in the family was higher than hers.
Their royal family follows a set of rules; one of them is the person with higher standing would often lead the group.
I stopped my train of thought to greet the old couple.
" Good, good; I really didn't believe when Masako told me about you being extraordinary but seeing you in person gives full credit to her claims. " The old man said, impressed by my greeting.
" Right, she also went on and on about your appearance." the old woman said from the back.
" Right, He is so cute! I wish I could keep him." Hana chimed in to express her desire.
