[ Though considering the video is a close up of the toe of a white boot, which is tapping up and down on top of what looks like wet roof tiles, there's not much point to a video in the first place. ]

The people who brought us here have a lot of nerve asking us to fight for them without giving back in return. If they're going to take us away from our homes and demand that we fight for them, they should give us a reward for what we're doing. I don't want their useless money, I want real compensation for my time. I'm a professional, after all. Paying me to fight battles that don't involve me isn't cheap.

You sound full of yourself again.

[knifenut]

What's your point?

[reassures]

I was just pointing it out.

Your name is Belphegor?

[knifenut]

That's right.

[reassures]

[She doesn't like the name at all, but she can't quite figure out why.]

So, Belphegor-- what does a prince do when he abandons his country?

[knifenut]

[ Probably the demonic origins of the name. That's probably it. ]

Ushishishi. I haven't abandoned it, because I'll be back soon enough. I am its rightful ruler after all.

[reassures]

[...Was that a laugh. She's pretty sure that was a laugh. What on earth kind of laugh was that.]

If you leave something and don't go back for several years, I think that counts as abandoning it.

[knifenut]

[ The best kind of laugh! ]

If I'm coming back then it's fine. They'll handle things without me for awhile.

[reassures]

How do you know you'll be accepted by them again?

[knifenut]

Because I won't give them a choice.

[reassures]

I think they call people like that dictators.

[knifenut]

Hmm? [ Stopping to consider this. ]

In the end I am still destined to rule them as their king, so I don't really care what you call it.

[reassures]

[The more she talks to him, the more unpleasant this boy seems...]

Most people don't like dictators ruling their countries.

[knifenut]

[ He cannot for the life of him figure out what the problem here is. ]

They'll learn.

[reassures]

Maybe they won't.

[knifenut]

Then I will keep teaching them until they do.

[reassures]

[She is getting such creep vibes from this guy.]

Okay.

[JUST GONNA NOT... REPLY ANYMORE... she's not sure this is the sort of person she should be talking to if she wants to avoid trouble.]

[knifenut]

[ It's for the best, Nill. It's for the best. ]
