Quickly closing the box back up so that the minister wouldn't have time to see the contents, she looks at Sonata in confusion:
- It... it's not what you think, it's just... - unable to find the right words, she sighs again. - He's just a foolish teenager, nothing more. It's just a prank to look cool in the eyes of an older person... You probably had a hundred of them yourself back in the day, so... - waving her hand vaguely, she quickly moves on to the next package, but her eyes glaze over the other boxes, as her thoughts are elsewhere. - ...I didn't want to involve you in anything like this, I'm sorry. He urgently needs to grow up and needs to be taught a lesson, but... we shouldn't punish him. We just had a misunderstanding, and no one is willing to take a step towards reconciliation. Water and oil - that's what they say, right? I'm probably more to blame, since I'm older. Ohkami-sama, what an idiot... - she muttered the last phrase through her teeth, so quietly that only Sonata could have heard it if she had strained her ears. - And what if someone else had seen it?.. Doesn't he understand anything?..
- Etto, Celesta-san, a... I see, there was also a gift for Her Majesty? They are... also in packaging? Is there no way to find out in advance what was given by a specific person? I understand that the mystery of the gift is important, but still.
Wrinkling her face in concentration, she... finally calms down and opens the remaining packages one by one.
