Forgiveness

The princess guided the sorceress to an enormous room. It was almost deserted if it wasn't for a strange apparatus laying against one of the four walls of the room. Isabel smiled as she began to pour water into the strange invention, which began was meant to be some sort of the machine that could play different instruments like a band.

"I wanted to place my new invention somewhere rather than place it in my own laboratory," Isabel said "I got inspired when my sister, Elena, began to have some struggles with the musicians. Luckily the problems were solved but I decided to plan an alternative if things go wrong. I call this the Mucian EXO."

"Impressive" Shuriki said moving her hair, which was already tied up "So this Will provide us music for our lessons?"

"Precisely," Isabel said before taking the sorceress hand, preparing both to practice.

Meanwhile, Esteban was helping Elena and Naomi with the preparations. Neither of the teens seemed to be interested in their work, they bite their tongues to prevent some talking about the choice the council made after a couple of months. There was an awkward silence in the ballroom, everyone was doing their work quietly.

" Everyone is having his or her struggles with that too," Esteban said trying to break the silence. "Even for me, even though I know Shuriki very well and helping her for her redemption." Elena and Naomi limited to only glance at him, by their expressions he could tell they didn't want to talk about Shuriki's redemption. "I'll check the food with our Abuelo, he has a good taste in food."

Esteban left the room and Heard the teens sighing before continue to work. He was worried about how Elena's attitude had changed her to worst. He continued with his path.

" Uno, dos, tres, Uno dos tres" It was the sound from upstairs. Esteban stopped after hearing some music coming from the same room he Heard his cousin counting."Remember the box. Uno, dos, tres. Uno, dos, tres"

He decided to investigate and found Shuriki and Isabel dancing together. She was teaching her how to dance, Shuriki seemed to understand more of it and she looked beautiful. Esteban sighed before walking to the kitchen to help his abuelo with the food choice.

"You better try this pie, mijo" Francisco smiled as he happily tasted an apple pie.

"Maybe later, Abuelo" Esteban said taking a cube of cheese and some grapes. "I'm worrying about Elena"

"She is fine," Francisco said trying some chuletas "She is trying to make up her mind"

"She won't talk to me"

"Give her time"

"She is too quiet, she is not having fun as she used to with her duties"

"You always were annoyed by that" Francisco said cleaning his mouth. "Elena had talked to us and told us she yelled at Shuriki once, we were glad nothing happen and-"

"Why she didn't tell me?

"You are such a drama King, Mijo," Francisco said giving him some tamales before patting his shoulder.

Esteban and Shuriki continued with their different task, and couldn't see each other that much. For the good side, Shuriki was getting better at dancing. Esteban was finally finishing with the preparations. But in the other hand, their worries began to grow wider as the party was getting closer and closer.

"You look splendid, "Esteban said holding Shuriki's hand

"And you handsome" Shuriki smirked before kissing the chancellor's cheek.

"You two better not be flirting with each other while the guest is coming "Luisa jocked as she walked along with Isabel and Armando "We have to give a good image"

After a few hours, both lovers were separated by the royal family themselves. The party seemed to work, the Avalorians were happy, they didn't even show any expression of disgust. Everything was going according to the plan.
