Having returned to the palace, Kai Syaoran headed straight for the most beautiful courtyard. This was his mother's courtyard. It was said to be the most beautiful part of the entire Time palace. It was called the summer snow courtyard. Very few people were allowed in this section of the palace. Even the crown prince Kai Syaoran /Erlanthan's father had to request permission from Elrie, the crown princess before he could be allowed entry. This courtyard was his mother's private sanctuary that had been personally given to her by the Forever Absolute.
