"Are you insane?!"

"No, I think it's a pretty good plan."

"And I say it's a pretty good way to die!"M/n rolls his eyes at Verose; who was freaking out at the change of plans.
"How did you come up with that conclusion in the first place?"

"If you think about it, from what we knew, it was nearly impossible to shake Tartaglia's loyalty to the prince, this man devoted his entire life to the prince. So how did she do it besides showing the man pleasure? She convinced Tartaglia that M/n didn't leave on his own accord and that being brainwashed was the only reason why he abandoned Snezhnaya."M/n explains while drinking his breakfast tea. The reason why the two were having such a conversation was that Tartaglia was called to help with morning training.
"Hmm...This plan still worries me. Let's say you figure it out, then you drop Tartaglia off like a bag of rocks to be picked up by Lumine, wouldn't the story follow its original course?
Especially if you go through with getting rid of your vision-"

"Huh? Why would I do that?"

"Ah, that's right! There was a Q&A before I died, during the Livestream, the author revealed that at some point in time, the prince throws away his vision. That explains why Tartaglia was able to kill him so easily. If you remember the lore behind visions, when lost or taken away, your cause of obtaining it vanishes and so does one's memory. The author thought it would be better for the reader to assume that M/n was pretending to not know Tartaglia, when in fact...M/n couldn't remember and died because of that consequence of throwing away his power."Once Verose finishes, M/n was left to ponder for a moment but he still wanted to go through with the new plan.
"I'll work out a plan B, does that soothe your worry?"

"Not at all but I have no choice but to trust you. My life is in your hands and his as well if things go wrong."

"My life too, let's not forget who kills the prince...Anyway, I need you to purchase a few things for me, don't ask questions that retain to why I need them. Just know, I like pretty things, especially if it's glass...Here's the address, they're only opened at night. On the paper is one thing that must be wrapped and placed onto Tartaglia's bed with a notecard. I'll personally sign."Verose sat confused for a second, he truly didn't understand what M/n was asking of but as he thinks about the words and the set time, his cheek turns bright red!
"You-You can't be talking about that store!?"

"Hehe~"

"What do you mean "Hehe"?!" M/n nearly kills over from laughter. He was surprised that Verose even caught and the fact that his face turns extremely red.
"If it makes you feel better, you can buy something to satisfy your cravings~ in the modern world, I had plenty of pretty ones, especially this one rose gold glass-"

"Ah! No, I don't want to... Actually, I'm curious now...Go on."

"Like I was saying, rose gold glass dildo, I like it best when warm."

"Hm, that doesn't sound too bad. However, I'm not a receiving type of guy. Though I am soft to my partner...Yep my mind made, I'm gonna get something."The two continue their not-safe-for-work conversation until there was a knock on the door. Verose quickly moves from M/n and shoves the paper in his pocket just before M/n told whomever to come into the room.
"Your majesty!"

"Commander Ash, what happened?"

"A strange woman is demanding to join the rank!"M/n and Verose quickly glance at each other then asked what she looked like.
"The woman has blonde hair and gold eyes, she's also dressed in rather strange clothing."M/n orders the commander to bring the woman to him immediately as he jumps up to dress.
"This can't be happening now! She's here too early, what do we do?!"

"We stall! We stall until I figure it out!"M/n strips out of his pajamas; that he had put on after his bath and into lounging clothes. Then dives for the couch and Verose scramblers to get tea and small snacks together. Then came a knock and the two get themselves together even more.
"Your majesty, I've brought the woman."

"Thank you, commander Ash. Wait outside while I speak with this woman... Please have a seat lady.."

"I am Lumine-"

"You have no manners! You are to greet his majesty properly!"Verose chastises harshly, this nearly causes M/n to chuckle but he holds a hand up.
"No need, lady Lumine. You do know that this month's recruit session has ended, right?"

"....I was late.."

"Hehe, late you say? How could you be late? It's in the middle of the month, you had two weeks to register. Hmm, however judging from your clothes...Where are you from?"

"I am from Khaenri'ah."
