That's true...

He was actually pretty against it at first, and even challenged me to a duel.

[ There's... a raise of brows at that. ]

That's really old fashioned. Did you win?

[swirlied]

I've noticed royalty in Shin Makoku is actually pretty old fashioned.

[ It took a while to get used to. ]

But yeah, I did. I ended up using powers I had no idea I even had.

[dereban]

That's... interesting.

[ That it's so old fashioned like that. Inaba wears an awkward smile of her own. ]

I see. He probably was impressed that you won.

[swirlied]

I think so. He wasn't exactly nice after I beat him but... I think he actually respected me a little after.

[dereban]

That's a good thing, isn't it?

[swirlied]

Yeah, it is. It would have been hard to trust him if there wasn't at least some kind of respect between us, you know? It's important, especially when he's one of my guards.

[dereban]

That's true... I mean, it would be bad if your guard ended up betraying you.

[ Yuuri frowns, just slightly. The memory of Conrad betraying him feels like so long ago, but it's still painful to think about. ]

Yeah... it's pretty common, though. At least it is in historical dramas.

[dereban]

Do you watch a lot of historical dramas?

[ Just out of curiosity. ]

[swirlied]

Yeah, it's actually my favorite genre.

[dereban]

The more you know, I guess.

[ She can't help but hum with a bit of curiosity, glad that she learned something new about him today. ] Why exactly do you like it?
