>>5834105Well, if this thing… dude… shapeless mass is claiming to be a king, you may as well give your own proper titles! ‘I am Princess Izumi Mahogany of the Ox Kingdom, Mahou of Earth, Majin Slayer, Mahou Knight, a Champion of Mifan, wielder of the power of the Hakkero, and… technically a parole officer operating with the Galactic Patrol.’ Yeah that should most of it. Though at the same time, ‘Hey so like, what’s bothering you guys? Is it this thing? Is it trying to call you two rude names?’
‘Only name it seems to think is fitting for an insult for us is “Outsider”, but yeah it’s up to something. We’ll handle it.’
‘Very… interesting, young princess. You sound like quite the accomplished individual for someone so young.’ it remarks. It sounds like it’s doubting you, but attempting to humor you. Maybe. ‘My Kingdom once had princess with great power, using it to better the people, and as such was beloved by her people. As for myself, you may call me King Darutanias of Nemuria.’
…You know about the princess, but that name seems suspect. ‘So what were the charges, your highness?’
The supposed King seems taken aback, eyes shifting in surprise. ‘Pardon?’
‘I mean, what crime were you… falsely accused of that resulted in you ending up in this sorry state?’ you ask.
‘Ah, of course. Oh it was so tragic, our Kingdom suffered a calamity that drove it to ruin, yet I attempted to have us persevere, stay strong and help as many of our people as I could!’ he responds in a dramatic and discernibly more human, masculine voice. ‘And yet a dangerous and power-mad prophet wished to take advantage of this catastrophe, leading some of my most trusted advisors to charge ME with warmongering and tyrannical ambitions. Oh but all I ever wanted was the best for my people!’
…
Right. Yeah. Okay. He’s full of shit. Play along for now. ‘So what do you want me to do about this?’
