he won’t admit to understanding the pressures one must feel as being emperor of a country. but what he will admit is that it’s rather unbecoming of the newly crowned ruler to be exhausted enough to slump against him. though, the number of documents that decorated his desk had significantly decreased. honestly —— what a troublesome king he had chosen.     ❛ oi. c’mon, i know you’re tired but you have a bed for a reason. i think it’s about time you used it. let’s go. ❜

     ❛ it’s not as scary as everyone makes it seem. dying, that is. ❜ he only speaks from his own experience, having ‘ died ‘ two years ago. how odd it had been, to return to a place where the people believed you to be deceased. ❛ i think the only shitty part about it was that i was dying right when the funnest part was going to start. ❜ knowing he missed the war for the kou empire will always eat away at him. and he had been so eager to participate in it, too.

     ❛ —— aren’t you a little too young to be saying such rude shit ? kids these days, they have no respect. ❜

     despite the title he wears in the empire, there had never been a care for the political well-being of the country. the relationship with the outside world, the stability of the country. there was no interest in any of it. it wasn’t his job to be concerned over such things; that was the responsibility of the emperor. though it appears as if hakuryuu has seen better days.     ❛ honestly —— not really. but i caught enough to know you’re concerned about the economy of the kou empire. if you want to rant, go ahead. but i’m not the person you should go to for advice. ❜
