Tatsumi silently observed his younger brother's training from afar with his older brother.

The two of them would have been in the throne room, but Numa's Hand had forbidden them from entering by saying to them.

"You two have been working almost nonstop with no breaks, as your senior, I am ordering you both to take the day off and enjoy yourselves."

Now Tatsumi didn't have any problems with this command, and had planned on spending his day off with Naofumi and Theo, but Numa had asked if he wanted to spend the day with him, so he agreed.

"He's good with the sword," Numa stated in a neutral tone. "his skills with it are better than his skills with the spear."

"Yeah," Tatsumi agreed as he watched his younger brother drive his opponent back. "you can definitely see the difference."

Numa didn't bother responding; he instead remained silent and continued to watch his brother.

"This is really awkward..." Tatsumi said to himself as he averted his attention away from his little brother. "When he wanted to spend time with me, I had assumed we were going to spar or go out, not sit here in silence and watch Akihiko train..."

After a few minutes of silence, Numa broke the silence.

"Remember what I had told you about a few days ago? About the group of nobles who don't want me sitting on the throne?" His brother said in an emotionless tone.

"Uh, yeah I remember, what about them?" Tatsumi questioned as he cast his twin a sideglance.

"I want your opinion on them." He demanded as he directed his attention towards Tatsumi. "They have of course pledged their allegiance to me, but several nobles that they have met with have sent me letters telling me about what they've said about me."

"Well, what have they said?" Tatsumi asked. He needed to know what was said before he could give Numa an answer.

"Mostly that I'm unfit to rule, and that I will abuse my powers." Numa replied as he looked back at his brother only to see his opponent knock the young prince on the ground.

"I see," The brown haired Seika said as he rubbed his chin and contemplated his response. After several seconds, he spoke his thoughts. "well, if you want my honest opinion then I think you shouldn't concern yourself with them. Sure, they may be saying these things, but I don't think it's enough for them to lose their heads."

"So let them talk bad behind my back?" Numa questioned with a tiny trace of anger in his voice.

"You're a king," Tatsumi replied, emphasizing on the word king. "your job is to rule the people and to make sure chaos never arises, and because you're a ruler there are obviously going to be some people who disagree with you. Now, I'm not saying to ignore what they say, but I am telling you that you shouldn't kill them because of them speaking their opinions."
