Nope! I'm not too big on running things. Handing down royal decrees sounds perfectly fine, but running an economy sounds like far more effort than it's worth! And I'd rather not spend my afternoons reading stacks of bills, either.

[Sorry, Leo. There's a reason he's never tried to fight his older brother for the position of family heir. Or well, there are actually a few reasons, but "that sounds dreadfully boring" is definitely one of them! Moving on from that, however...

He cocks an eyebrow. Calling him rude, really? Calling him rude just makes Leo the rude one! His "knight" doesn't seem to mean it as an insult, though, which is sort of peculiar. But even being talked down to by someone like him is something of a blessing, he supposes.]

Now it just sounds like you're not very picky! Truths, lies, anything goes, hmm?

[He smirks; it's just a bit of ribbing.]

But I suppose if I try to view you in a more generous light, what you're really saying is that you'll stand by me no matter how I act. That your love is unconditional. And that's the kind of love most likely to sway my noble heart.

[It's not a lie. All of them crave love; that's their motivation as idols. And Hiyori has absolutely no problem being loved as the sparkling and beautiful "idol called Hiyori Tomoe." But to be loved in spite of his difficult personality, well... That's a dream that's even harder to achieve, but one that compels him nonetheless.

He loses the smirk and smiles beautifully down at Leo.]

If you're that serious, I have no choice but to accept you as my knight.
