"Once you become Queen, don't you have more important things to do than make sculptures for me?"
"W-Well..."
Perugius isn't letting off.
"Or rather, you plan on a life of extravagance on your people's back?"
"... No, of course not, and sorry. That suggestion, please forget it."
Ariel looks downcast and readies the retreat.
She stands up and take a bow.
Not the usual charismatic Ariel.
Regardless, Perugius has been too blunt this time.
Does he really hate Ariel that much? Were those cruel words even necessary?
"Wait, Ariel Anemoi Asura."
Perugius stops Ariel before she can leave.
Looking at her with an overbearing glance.
