Say I wanna be a knight or a king! How do I go about doing that? Quests? Killing armies one by one until I'm crowned?

Are kings the same as emperors? I wouldn't settle for any less, you know.

Why not? I could make it mine.

IF you tried, that would be treason, and I do not think you would be supported.

I don't need support. Manpower doesn't have to be earned, you know.

If you must force support, I would not be surprised if it was you who was removed instead.

Why do you even desire to be king?

After years, do you think? I wouldn't mind being removed if I could enjoy that power for years.

Power. And I want a crown.

Then buy one. They mean little. [She would know.]

It's not really the same, is it? I suppose I want to earn it.

No, what you wish is to force it through bloodshed.

And those who depose a king are quickly deposed themselves.

I do not think you want a crown.

I think you are seeking trouble for its sake.

And?

Define quickly.

How do you know? Crowns are shiny!

Oh no! Did I give myself away that easily?

I have a crown.

Take it, if that's what you seek so much, if it will ensure there is no bloodshed and harm to others.

We both know that will only tide me over for a little while.

Besides, you're a woman, aren't you?

I am.

[Is he going to insist on forcibly marrying her next?]

Your crown won't look good on me.

Crowns stained with blood are grotesque on anyone.

Every crown you wear will be ill-fitting.

I wouldn't know! I've never had one. Have you?

You don't like me, huh.

I think you are seeking to be disliked, so you can feel justified for whatever actions you may take.

It is as I said.

You are seeking trouble for trouble's sake.

Stop being so smart! I feel like I've just been flayed!

What's wrong with that? Life is boring otherwise.

You speak of killing others but cannot stand to hear the truth?

Then you are not living a very good one if you think you need to cause trouble to make it interesting.

The truth is barbed! No one likes to touch it, your majesty.

Are you going to give me ideas on how to make it better?

I am not sure why you think using my title would insult me. But yes, it is like a rose, yes, I'm aware.

Would you listen, if I did?

I was thinking of something tougher than that. Like twisted metal. It will rip you to pieces if you get caught in it.

Maybe. You could try?

I also know that metal as well.

When someone uses power only to harm, to make another bleed, then that is all their life is. Blood and fear and harm.

Don't tell me you have scars.

What if that is all their life could ever be? What if Fate dictated it to be that hard and bloody and violent?

I do. From someone who only sought trouble for its sake, to see the king suffer.

Then that is all they've been focusing on. Life cannot only be blood and harsh and violent. But it also seems a good deal of it is self-inflicted.

That fairy? Where are you scarred?

Really? You think I've done this to myself?
