☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Then, she finally exhales.
Opening her eyes, she looks around for Edge Lord, if he managed to keep up and hasn't exhausted himself, and if so, she says:
- Well, now we can go to the crater. This is, of course, not a panacea, but... at least this time, I can be at peace knowing that I did everything I could to at least try not to fail and not disgrace the honor of the "dynasty." Even if it's not mine... Even if it's just an amateur tournament, no one will accuse me of not taking it seriously.

Deciding to "get even" with her for the fact that last time she rejected him and rushed off to take care of her business without reciprocating or even offering a kind word, Lord wrapped his left arm around her and held her tightly against his chest, and placed his right hand on her head, gently stroking her.
- What I'm about to say probably won't sound romantic or even encouraging, and some might even find it offensive, but there's a certain male trait that says that whatever a beautiful girl does, it will be perceived positively. Well, for example, an awkward man will be judged for any mistake, but a pretty girl will be admired, even if she doesn't do well with her tasks - remember Hitori? It's something like that. Dress her modestly - the heart rejoices, dress her provocatively - the body rejoices. Of course, this doesn't apply to you, because you're not just a woman, but a Woman with a capital W - one in a million, a unique individual in the entire universe, but I think that the thought I just expressed can be adapted to the relationship between the people and the imperial family, that is, as long as you are sincere with your subjects and treat everything you do with full dedication, or, as you say, do everything you can, they will definitely understand and appreciate it - regardless of the outcome. So go for it! - Having said this, Phantom the Younger dared to repeat what he had done in the Moon Park. - And remember, as before, even if the whole world turns against you, I will still be on your side, and you can always find support in me in any situation.
