"I suppose that's possible when you've been absolute monarch for so long. ......"

 Reinhardt also imagines such a thing.

 Saki laughed.

"I see. It's true, if the four duchies are to participate in the in peace, the one who needs to change the most is the Duke of Jagdus.

 And in five minutes we were ready to go.
