☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- What would you do if you were suddenly made imperial princes?

Garrett glanced at Harold with doubt; the latter found the presented picture somewhat amusing.
— Oh, personalities like ours would definitely impress many with the aura of knightly nobility they exude.
Skeptically raising an eyebrow in response to his brother's sarcastic remark and after a moment of thought, the elder replies:
— Such a concept would probably be met with much greater difficulty among the masses. Even without a title, Ayano already has significant influence on the common people. Have you been to Kamimori? There are crowds of parishioners there, many people sincerely rely on her spiritual guidance in her Sanctuary. And what about us? We're just mercenaries from who knows where, with suspicious faces and a murky past; we haven't brought any particular wisdom with us, and we don't know how to cleanse souls of corruption. What would we do? The twist itself is quite fantastic, but even if we imagine it for a moment... It's unlikely that it would instantly erase all the specific characteristics of our personalities, so we can expect many logical questions. And in the absence of better answers, we would probably have to give harsh ones until someone decides to solve the problem simply and decisively, poof, and goodbye, dearest alien prince. So... if you think about it, we should be glad that Ayano is in that position, and not someone else.
