Gracious Act Quotes

“I lose my breath, find it again. I don't want to break this spell. I'm completely besotted. In love with Kyoto, with Japan. We come to the end, to the palace gates as they open.
At the gate, I turn and bow. Thank you.
Mr. Fuchigami is there, enjoying the lanterns with the rest of the staff. "Your Highness, did you enjoy your dinner?" he asks.
I nod. Can he see how happy I am? How my eyes shine with joy?
He steps toward me. "You've won the heart of Kyoto." The lantern bearers surround me and all at once, they let go. Glowing orbs drift to the sky in a perfect circle of light.
It's beautiful. Truly beautiful. A golden crown.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Ever After
