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.

[So he's not terribly skilled at being anonymous. That cocky, childish personality of his always bleeds through.]

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?

Ah, so it is you, Xue Yang. Considering I have not told anyone else that tale.

I did not think you were so callous.

You tricked me! Good job~

I can be callous. I can feel nothing at all sometimes. I know when it started and I thought I could end it.

Turns out I can't.

Is it? I think I am the one tricked, I find no joy in seeing this side of you. It is deeply disappointing.

You can't, or you won't? Are you really seeking to dethrone the king?

You'll be in good company. Plenty of people have that opinion of me.

If I could do it, I would. Any man who isn't strong enough to hold onto his throne deserves to lose it.

Yes, it's very easy to claim how people see you as such when you actively push them away. It allows you to be blameless.

I never said I was blameless.

I'm guiltier than anyone! But why does it matter?

But you are actively trying to push them away.

Why? To what end?

Do you think I've ever had anyone dependable in my life?

I do not know you well enough to guess. But I do not see why you couldn't have someone dependable now? This is your new home, for the time being.

If I've never been able to depend on anyone, how can I trust anyone now? You haven't lived your life as a tool.

No one has asked you to be a tool here. I cannot know what it's like to live like an object, I cannot speak of the hardships you have endured. But you do not have to be what you were back in your world anymore.

The first step to being yourself rather than a tool, is to make the choice to live as you wish.

I feel like it's only a matter of time. Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I can be someone new. [Until someone from his world shows up and ruins that.]

Even if I'm being watched? My leash is very pretty.

Perhaps you can be, or more than someone new, maybe you can be someone who does not need to look for trouble for its sake.

Well, publicly announcing a desire to commit regicide tends to do that.

I like to have fun. If I get bored, that's dangerous. It's even worse if someone tries to strong-arm me into something. When I'm mad, you wouldn't believe what I can do.

It was just an idea.

I do not know you well enough to cast doubt upon your deeds. But perhaps a new hobby is in order? Something with creation instead of destruction?

It was a particularly poor one.
