Fidelitas Ad Regem

"A-Another one.. Gh-Ghhg.. Th-There’s so many of you- me-… Th-This can’t possibly be tr-true… Wh-What do you want?"

"I w-ouldn't say another of you......Y-you look far to different, like you weren't th-ought out before being put into creation. How.....Disappointing."

  [ ♫ ♪  ] ——- ; ; “I—-Haven’t even said anything yet„ Touko. Ah, but if you’d like I can leave in case I’m beginning to irritate you ?”

"Your pr-esence is irritation in general Maizono, but i-f you can refrain from singing those dreadful p-pop songs, you can be tolerated for a while."

"…For an alternate, you sure seem to be…keen of yourself."

"K-keen is a stretch. I am useful, m-ore so than any one else. As s-uch i am better and above them. Simple a-s that."

What am I even saying? That is the most toxic relationship I’ve heard of…

"I am not ignorant to how death works, nor am i stupid enough to cut deep enough to die. I love to serve and i would not endanger my ability to do so."

“In addition to all.”

"I didn't steal anything. D-ont be stupid."

"Removing your tongue would be painful, and not the best of ideas.What if you ran out of paper, ink or anything of the like? How would you communicate your needs and wants with others? With him?”

"Painful or n-ot it wouldn't matter, i'd cut open my legs and write with my blood, the floor at his feet as my paper. There a-re improvisations to a lack of ink and paper, and forced injury for Byakuya-sama's sake is always worth it."

"I’m joking, of course. Though I don’t believe you should cut out your tongue — It would be a shame for an author being suddenly unable to express their words as coherent verbally as they do in writing."

"J-oking or not your logic would fail. I do not n-need my tongue to express my words, pen and paper work just as well. T-there would be no use for a tongue as vile as mine, and adding words of c-ompliment onto them for anyone but The Hatter makes the idea of removing it all the more tempting."

"You said Queen. You didn’t specify it was from such a novel, nor did you specify whether I was the White Queen or the Red Queen. So yes, I will in fact take it as a compliment. Thank you for your random act of kindness, Fukawa-san.”

"One wouldn't w-ant to use the word Queen on you in a positive light r-egardless of whether it's from fiction or not. A Queen is viewed as a tyrant i-n any form. Never mistake a-ny of my words as compliments. J-ust the very thought makes me want to c-ut out my tongue."

"You’re n-no better, are you…. c-considering, as you already figured out, that w-we are the s-same person…"

"We are effectively the s-ame person, but that doesn't mean we are the same. There a-re differences."

"What a prestigious status. I don’t believe I’ve heard it before. Should I take it as a compliment?"

"It was far from a compliment Kirigiri. Are you not f-amiliar with Lewis Carols 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland'? Or are you i-gnorent to the fact that i'm insulting you?"

THANKS

"You’re n-no better, are you…. c-considering, as you already figured out, that w-we are the s-same person…"

"R-regardless, we're not the same. I'm better then you."
